Towers approved for Lower Capilano

DNV council votes 5-2 for Larco highrises at CapWest Club site JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

Towers are going up in Lower Capilano. In their last action before standing for reelection, District of North

Vancouver council voted 5-2 to bring Larco’s 451-unit development to the former CapWest Athletic Club site, located west of Capilano Road between Fullerton Avenue and Curling Road. The phased development

includes 18-and 12-storey towers, a new community centre, four low-rise buildings and 20 townhouse units to be built by a numbered company owned by Larco. Bringing the project to an area described as a “blight” and a “garbage dump” constitutes a longawaited turning point

for the neighbourhood, according to Coun. Alan Nixon. “The community of Lower Cap will see the light at the end of a long tunnel,” he said, describing his relief at approving the project with two weeks left in his 12-year tenure on council. The revised agreement will penalize Larco if the

moves into the phased development and a $2.5 million community amenity contribution. Couns. Lisa Muri and Doug MacKay-Dunn opposed the project. Muri previously talked about “playing hardball” with Larco to get the

company fails to build the community centre within eight years. The community centre’s shell must be built by Nov. 17, 2022. If Larco misses that deadline the district can buy back the land for $1. Larco is also on the hook for an $8.5 million letter of credit that has to be in the bank before anyone

Search for lost guns prompts West Bay lockdown BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

West Vancouver police and North Shore Rescue volunteers found two missing loaded handguns that caused a temporary lockdown at West Bay elementary. Police responded to the Westmount neighbourhood Wednesday evening after a distraught man began pounding on the door of a home on the 3000-block of Rosebery Avenue and asking the owners to call the police. After he’d been taken into custody under the Mental Health Act, the man told police he’d discarded two 9-millimetre pistols, somewhere between his home on Cypress Bowl Road and the area near the school, said Const. Jeff Palmer,West Vancouver police spokesman. See Guns page 3

Candidates debate housing and transit

DNV council hopefuls square off at CapU all-candidates meeting JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

The 13 candidates vying to serve on the District of NorthVancouver’s next council agreed to disagree at a Capilano University debate Tuesday. The provincial and federal governments have abandoned creating affordable housing, according to Wayne Hunter. “We’re literally on our own,” he said, calling for a housing commission to help establish rent tethered to income. Affordability is not the domain of municipalities, Coun. Robin Hicks explained. “We are forced into this area because we live with the consequences of people who can’t afford to live here,” he said. Hicks and Coun. Doug MacKay-Dunn disagreed on the role of developers in creating lower-cost housing. Several student-housing proposals have failed

because condominiums are more lucrative, according to Hicks. Besides providing a revenue stream for developers, rental apartments are an alternative to the “glut of condos” selling on the North Shore, argued MacKay-Dunn. The district can forge deals with non-proﬁts similar to the arrangement with Turning Point alcohol treatment centre, which leases municipal land for $1 per year, according to MacKay-Dunn. The district should investigate tax breaks for homeowners who offer student suites, said Connie De Boer. While the community may not want more development, providing housing and education today may save money tomorrow, she said. Creating affordable housing is hampered by

Municipal ELECTION

2014 Turn to pages 18 and 19 for North Vancouver District candidates Q&A exorbitant land values, explained Coun. Lisa Muri. “The change in the zoning and the density is pushing the value of the land up and that makes it impossible to create affordable housing.” Instead of creating affordable housing, the district’s densiﬁcation strategy has become “a wealth creation tool for single-family homeowners,” according to Hazen Colbert.

Co-op housing on district-owned land for students, ﬁrst-time buyers and seniors may be the answer, according to Colbert. The district’s practice of trading density for rental units should stop, according to Glenn MacKenzie. “We’re paying for it in incredible congestion.” Legislating affordable housing is rife with complications, according to Kevin Macauley. “Land is not something that we have plenty of that’s available just to give away, so it’s going to remain a challenge for students.” The district can provide student housing, according to Wayne Hunter. “If we can own and operate a golf course, we can certainly own and operate student housing.” Lane houses near Capilano University and Phibbs Exchange could help assuage the dearth of affordable housing, according to Amelia Hill. The all-candidates discussion was separated by a thin wall from a

simultaneous City of North Vancouver debate. For amalgamation proponents, the time has come to tear down that wall. Having two neighbouring municipalities duplicate services is silly, according to Glenn MacKenzie. His statement elicited applause from amalgamation proponent MacKay-Dunn. Without a united North Shore front, the District of North Vancouver will continue to get short shrift from senior levels of government, according to Kevin Macauley. Much of the debate centred around bringing more transit to North Vancouver. “We need massive investments in rapid transit,” said Jim Hanson. “The economic and social beneﬁts of transit are overwhelming.” Hanson supported a shuttle from Phibbs Exchange to Capilano University. North Vancouver’s transit problem is exacerbated by TransLink, which Hanson and Muri agreed is “broken.”

Project includes seniors housing From page 1 developer to agree to an $8.5-million letter of credit. “I remain concerned. I remain disappointed in how we’ve gotten here,” she said, explaining that she’s never been through a public negotiation like this one. With the neighbourhood set to absorb growth, the community centre might not meet the neighbourhood’s needs, according to Muri. “It probably will not be sufﬁcient given the density that is coming to that area,” she said. Concentrating growth in town centres such as Lower Capilano is an expedient way of handling the inevitable, according to Coun. Robin Hicks. “I’d like North Van to remain a sleepy little village forever but we all know that cannot happen,” he said. “Everybody wants to deposit their spare cash here . . . so we’ve got to accommodate growth.” Coun. Mike Little, who is also at the end of his stint on council, expressed worries about concrete and glass dominating the site’s plaza.The “neighbourhood living room” concept needs to be preserved, according to Little.

Transit is at a critical point, according to Matthew Bond. “There’s a growing realization in the industry that business as usual is no longer an option,” he said. The proliferation of traffic gridlock is largely the fault of the current council, according to Len Laycock. “If you return those people you can expect more traffic congestion,” he said. “We can’t build our way out of it.” Other major cities suffer through worse traffic, pointed out Robin Hicks. “Our road crisis is nothing compared to London,Tokyo, China, Shanghai, etc., but we can learn lessons,” he said. Major projects are underway, including an overpass at Mountain Highway and the Keith Road extension. Laycock derided the efficacy of the Keith Road Extension. “It’s going to make no difference at all. That money is going to be spent and it’s going to be flushed down the toilet,” he said.

“It has to be a warm space and some of the drawings that I saw at the later stages still looked fairly bleak,” he said. The district also faces “signiﬁcant hurdles” in managing trafﬁc around the site during a lengthy construction period,

according to Little. After having explored a Lower Capilano community centre for 18 years, the community ﬁnally has certainty, according to Coun. Roger Bassam. “It would’ve been nice to have it a little quicker, but we now have a timeline, we

know when this will be delivered,” he said. Development on the 4.4-acre site is scheduled for four phases over approximately 10 years, with construction beginning at the site’s south end, close to Curling Road. The project includes a

45-unit, four-storey seniors building as well as a sixstorey, 74-unit market rental building. Larco’s development also includes a 125,000-squarefoot underground storage business. The project is set for adoption Nov. 17.

Police contacted the West Vancouver school district, which informed parents as searchers fanned out over the neighbourhood. Classes at West Bay went on as usual Thursday but students were not allowed outside. Investigators redeployed 25 ofﬁcers and called in 20 North Shore Rescue volunteers, who jointly found the guns in the backyard of a home not far from where the man was apprehended. The man is undergoing a mental health assessment and investigators are looking into whether there will be charges under the Firearms Act and if the man’s gun licence will be revoked, Palmer said. “It’s good news.There was no threat to the school at any time and no threat to any person but obviously it’s a real concern that any kid could inadvertently encounter something that could cause quite great harm.” In 2013, students near Rockridge secondary in West Vancouver found an antique Webley revolver in a nearby wooded area.

H. Bay - Nanaimo route staying: Stone

Transportation minister rules out elimination of service JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

Merchants in Horseshoe Bay were breathing a sigh of relief Thursday after Transportation Minister Todd Stone took less than 24 hours to kill a plan to cut the Horseshoe Bay to Departure Bay ferry run. Stone said Wednesday the provincial government has “no interest in seeing the cancellation of the Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo run.” Stone’s comments torpedoed a proposal ﬂoated in a B.C. Ferries report to the B.C. Ferries Commissioner at the end of September that could have seen the ferry route cancelled in the name of cost cutting. Holly Kemp, manager of Troll’s Restaurant and president of the Horseshoe Bay Business Association, said that proposal has been on the radar of local business for over a year, since West Vancouver MLA Jordan Sturdy

ﬁrst told her it might be considered. Horseshoe Bay businesses were determined to ﬁght the plan, said Kemp, knowing the loss of the Nanaimo route would spell the end for many of them. Currently, the Horseshoe Bay to Departure Bay route carries about 1.2 million vehicles and 3.3 million passengers annually. Kemp said once they got wind of it, the business association hired a lobbyist and started talking to key stakeholders in Victoria. But it wasn’t until this week that the public actually saw the plan in writing. Reaction was swift, said Kemp, with most travellers calling the idea “an absolute outrage.” According to the B.C. Ferries report, one key reason for considering the plan is a seismic upgrade needed to the upper loading area at the Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal that could cost the corporation between

$200 million and $250 million. But on Wednesday, Stone said B.C. Ferries will have to come up with other ways of “whittling down” that quarter billion dollar cost. Stone also kiboshed the idea of eliminating one of the two Nanaimo ferry terminals and running a passenger-only ferry service between Horseshoe Bay and Departure Bay. Kemp said Thursday she’s pleased to see “the whole idea (of cutting the Nanaimo to Horseshoe Bay ferry route) is dead in the water.” She said she was amazed at how quickly Stone apparently put an end to the plan. “If that’s how quickly he responds to public outcry, we need

to do it more often,” she said. Stone said Wednesday that hearing from his Liberal MLAs on Vancouver Island as well as Sturdy, who also serves as his parliamentary secretary, convinced him to put a quick end to the proposal. Kemp added that until ﬁnal decisions are made about how to get the ferry corporation out of deep ﬁnancial water, “I’m still going to feel on edge about what they are going to do and how they are going to do it.” “He’s a politician,” she said of Stone. “Gordon Campbell told us we weren’t going to get the HST.” Kemp said she still feels the ferry system should be run as a public service

Lucky horseshoe T

his week, Transportation Minister Todd Stone told B.C. Ferries to back off on a plan to cut the Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo route. The North Shore News first published a story about the proposal in March of this year. But it wasn’t until the public saw it published in a strategy plan for efficiency by B.C. Ferries that the excrement hit the propeller. On the plus side, cutting the route would have likely taken vehicles off our roads and bridges, allowing us to have a conversation about something other than North Shore traffic for a change. But it would also have signed the death warrant for an entire commercial area and — most importantly — taken away a key route well used by ferry travellers. The quasi-private corp.’s

understandable motive was to get out of doing $200 million in upgrades needed at the ferry terminal and to shift all Nanaimo sailings to the less busy Tsawwassen terminal. But it would also be failing to meet B.C. Ferries’ mandate of serving the public and ferry-dependent communities — something constantly under threat from the corporation as it struggles to ﬁnd enough money to pay the bills. Horseshoe Bay businesses and the travelling public can breathe a sigh of relief this week. But there will be more tough decisions and more stormy seas ahead. B.C. Ferries is left with the same issues it faced before — looming capital costs, shrinking revenues and a lone government shareholder that has other priorities.

Defiance of Weegie’s blessing brings hope Where to start? How about in November 2018 — when, let us pray, some tough opposition group coalesces to take on Weegie?

How about Agent Y3nPg6’s claim that three prominent political hitpersons are gunning for Couns. Nora Gambioli and Craig Cameron? Their supposed sin: They voted against the Grosvenor development, thus proof they’re antidevelopment.Weegieendorsed Cameron seethes: Says he’s no such thing, just sought a smaller project. Had the jam to admit changing his mind about the ridiculous Ferry Building extension. As for Gambioli, she let the feline out of the Gucci when she said WV council battles behind closed doors because “Realtors, land investors and developers

have sent us many emails voicing their rather livid concerns about these plans to debate reductions to new home volumes.” Surprised? Cue George Bernard Shaw (see his Saint Joan at the Stanley): The best-kept secrets are the ones everybody guesses. It all ﬁts:With Booth, now a Kremlinesque Weegie non-person, and Gambioli hopefully exiled, the Weegies have sent into the lineup pinch-hitters Peter Lambur, Joanna Baxter and Jim Finkbeiner.

Just like in Ottawa or Victoria. Team player, or out. Smith needs a council majority.

Otherwise, why Baxter, nice woman, shaky speaker, and why Finkbeiner, who recites his c.v., empty of content concerning WV politics? Story making rounds about Finkbeiner: Early on, he asked where town hall is. Whaaattt? His explanation: “No, I was just kidding a couple of people.

Coun. Michael Lewis’s campaign launch featured big backers, including Smith, former mayors Ron Wood and Pamela Goldsmith-Jones (who I believe don’t exchange Christmas cards), and former B.C. attorneygeneral and councillor Russ Fraser. However different politically, Lewis (again) disdained Weegie endorsement. Also Terry Platt, an actual working person and New Democrat and thus hardly a ﬁt councillor for West Vancouver anyway. Lewis is a strong future mayoral candidate — and his quietly successful repeat deﬁance of Weegie’s blessing brings hope before 2018 of a fresh political alignment challenging this stuffy little clique.

VIEWPOINT

For BC Libs, economic growth is tops

There has been some well reasoned and pointed criticism aimed at the BC Liberal government’s never-ending push to establish an LNG industry in this province, particularly on the issue of whether that industry will hinder attempts at ﬁghting climate change. But critics who assail the government with the argument that boosting LNG at the expense of increasing greenhouse gas emissions are missing a key point: the BC Liberals are not nearly as interested in curbing GHGs as they are in creating a new revenue stream for government. While the NDP, the Pembina Institute and Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver all pitch valid critiques of the government‘s recently unveiled legislation that established the “rules” when it came to emission from LNG operations, they fell on deaf government ears. The BC Liberals, like the Social Credit dynasty from which they were

Keith Baldrey

View from the Ledge borne, are driven by a central philosophical tenet: in order to do anything in this province, they must hold political power. Everything the government does ﬂows from this realization, that political power drives public policy and not the other way around. The BC Liberals know they were elected not by those with an intense interest in ﬁghting climate change, but by those whose top priority was doing whatever it takes to ensure a growing economy. The debates that take place in Kitsilano

Starbucks outlets are less relevant than ones you hear in coffee shops and bars in Surrey, Kamloops, Prince George and Kelowna. On paper, the government says it is still committed to reducing GHG emissions by 33 per cent (from 2007 levels) by the year 2020. Whatever. It is a toothless, paper commitment and nothing more. The 2017 election will not feature GHG emissions and climate change as its central, vote-determining issues and it’s unlikely the election after that one will either, and the BC Liberals are well aware of that. They also know the vast majority of voters have little concept of, say, “one tonne of greenhouse gas emissions” and can’t equate that with something easier to visualize, like a paycheque for example. None of this is to suggest that folks like Weaver are incorrect in their conclusion that those lofty targets for cutting GHG emission levels can’t be met with a

growing LNG industry. It’s rather that in the stark world of political reality, their arguments aren’t necessarily that politically relevant. •••

Some interesting financial nuggets have been unearthed by B.C. Auditor General Carol Bellringer in her massive audit of the government’s 2013-14 financial statements. She highlighted three different unusual aspects of the government’s budgeting methods, and in her report dutifully noted the financial statements “can tell an interesting story.” Why, yes they can. For example, she noted the government is paying

significantly higher interest rates on the debt it accumulates from publicpower partnerships than it does on its own borrowing. While the interest rates on regular government debt average about four per cent, those rates average more than seven per cent on P3 projects (and in one case exceeded 14 per cent). Interesting, the government — which has the ability to reply to an auditor general’s findings within the report itself — chose to stay silent on this point in her report. She also tallied up the incentives paid to the oil and gas industry over the past five years. The incentives are credits designed to encourage the production of oil and

gas, and the total has now ballooned to $1.25 billion. While it’s no doubt true that a lot of companies wouldn’t be as active in gas exploration without those credits, that $1.25 billion can be deducted from future royalty payments, which means a lot of natural gas will have to be extracted before the government even sees a nickel from many companies operating in the sector. Bellringer noted last year’s budget included revenue generated by the sale of more than $600 million in public assets, and she rightly pointed out those were one-time sales that can’t generate similar revenue in the future.

See B.C.’s page 9

MORRIS FOR MAYOR

The Mayor has publicly announced a slate, and that slate has been determined by Elections BC to be operating a telephone call centre in Lower Lonsdale, on behalf of seven members of the Mayor’s development funded, development friendly slate. At the All Candidates N. Van Seniors meeting, slate member Craig Keating told attendees the City is only growing at a rate of 1% per year. In 2011, the City’s population was 48,196. In 2014 our population surpassed 52,000. That is, at minimum, an increase of 3,084 people, equalling a growth rate for N. Van City of 2.62% per annum. This is over two and a half times higher than the Mayor’s slate alleges. We just changed out the only affordable full service Safeway grocery store on Lonsdale for a soon to be open Whole (paycheck) Foods store. And the affordable grocers located on the east side of the 1400 block Lonsdale have just learned their buildings have been optioned for a new 24 storey tower. When will this out of control development attack on our housing and cost of “FOR A BETTER TOMORROW” living end? The choice is yours. On November 15th, Vote Morris for Mayor.

MAILBOX Poppy taggers needed Dear editor: West Vancouver’s Branch 60, Royal Canadian Legion (at 580 18th St. near McDonald Creek) did not escape the wrath of nature Monday night. The lounge on our premises was heavily ﬂooded and crews have been working all day, ripping up carpets and ﬂooring in an attempt to have everything dried and workable before next week’s Remembrance Day event — our busiest time of the year. Thankfully our secondlevel Memorial Hall is

free from crisis and the work on poppy and wreath distribution has not been interrupted and is going as normal. Harry Greenwood, chairman Branch 60 Royal Canadian Legion Editor’s note:WestVancouver’s Branch 60, Royal Canadian Legion is still seeking poppy taggers — anyone who can volunteer their time to hand out poppies and collect donations now through to Remembrance Day. If you can help, please call the legion at 604-922-3587.

That was not a new observation (many people pointed this out when Finance Minister Mike de Jong tabled the 2013-14 budget) but it serves as a

reminder of how difficult it may be to balance future budgets. This was Bellringer’s first major report on government finances since she was appointed auditorgeneral at the end of May,

Dear Editor: To the lady in the red compact sedan who honked at the man in the blue Ford on Chesterﬁeld Avenue about 7:30 p.m.Thursday (Oct. 30) evening: SORRY! I stopped and gestured to you to say I had the right of way, but a moment later, realized you had the right of way.

INQUIRING REPORTER The fate of the Horseshoe Bay-Nanaimo ferry route hung in the balance for a brief moment earlier this week, after a BC Ferries report was unveiled identifying costsavings measures including the possibility of service cancellation between the two terminals.

Go online and tell us your thoughts at nsnews.com. —,+#'+ (%'-+$*)!*'"&

Karen Engelberts North Vancouver “No, absolutely not, because the communities and businesses depend on reliable service.”

West Van candidates’ reported wealth intrigues From page 6

not anti-development, a rubbery term. Platt (thrice, not twice as I recently reported, an unsuccessful provincial candidate against ageless Ralph Sultan) is a platform favourite. Coun. Bill Soprovich — West Van’s all-time election champ, perhaps? — is a populist who personally trots around to listen to any aggrieved citizen, but Sop, as he’s fondly known, can’t be categorized as anti-development. Nothing is so black and white. Newcomers, oldcomers, we all live in developments. Hold the hypocrisy. Personal regret: In the 2011 elections I blandly declared that Carolanne Reynolds, tireless chronicler of council meetings and defender of heritage, was more valuable outside council than in. Bad me. That shouldn’t disqualify her. Few know more of our town. At this writing no council candidate proposes any means of stopping neighbour-insensitive bloated houses like Dong Biao Huang’s and Catherine Zhao’s on

Kensington Crescent. Does your reps’ wealth interest you? Fascinating public information: Returnmatch candidate Michael Evison holds stock in 38 companies; Finkbeiner in 29 (he evidently likes Supreme Pharma, 100,000 shares); Cassidy in 65, including 521,636 in Fidelity Northstar Fund

and 812,056 in Manulife US Large Cap.Well, sure, she’s a stockbroker — the Oakalla prison guard gig rather far behind her. And then some candidates declare no investments at all.Why do I cynically suspect that the spouse evasively holds the shares? rtlautens@gmail.com

Saint Joan answers the bell in Arts Club production

Woman warrior ■ Arts Club Theatre Company presents Saint Joan by George Bernard Shaw, until Nov. 23 at the Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage, 2750 Granville St.,Vancouver.Tickets from $29 at artsclub.com or 604-687-1644. CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

Ever since she was a child and her father introduced her to Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw and his 1924 work Saint Joan, Meg Roe has had her sights set on the role of Joan of Arc. “It’s sort of one of those roles that you’re meant to play if you think you’re an actress,” says the actor/director. Published just four years after Joan of Arc was canonized, Shaw’s play dramatizes the life and trial of the pious peasant girl who claimed that voices and visions from God commanded her to rally the French army and lead the troops to victory against the English in the Hundred Years War. Ultimately, though, she was captured

by the English, put on trial for heresy and burnt at the stake. Fulfilling a lifelong acting ambition, Roe is taking on the part of the legendary “Maid of Orleans” in the Arts Club Theatre Company production of Saint Joan, directed by Kim Collier. It’s been more than 500 years since the controversial trial that condemned Joan of Arc to death, and yet she remains a heroine in France and a popular figure in literature, art and pop culture. Roe isn’t surprised that the legacy of this 15th century martyr has endured the ages. “It’s her fierce determination to stick to what she believed in against all odds. She’s one of the best-recorded medieval female figures. We don’t know that much about medieval women — no one wrote about them — but Joan was written about a lot,” Roe says, noting that detailed records from the condemnation trial have survived the centuries. “She just had this incredible tenacity. She really stuck true to herself, which is just inspiring. I think that’s why we still want to talk about her.”

“He was writing it in the context of the First World War and nationalism and the rise of nationalism and how those ideas were damaging or powerful,” Roe says. A year after Saint Joan was published, Shaw was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Although his play was written with theatre-goers of the 1920s in mind, Roe expects the story will resonate with audiences today just as powerfully as it did then. See Shaw page 14

Shaw play remains relevant to our time From page 13 “People are getting up and ﬁghting in the name of God all over the world. It’s extremely frightening,” she says of the modern era. “So I think the play speaks to us maybe in a different way than Shaw intended in some respects, but we hear ourselves in it still, I think. It rattles us.” Just a few days ago, Roe was reading a news article about a unit of Kurdish women ﬁghting ISIS that made her question how much the public perception of females participating in war has changed since Joan of Arc’s time. “We’re still titillated by and shocked by the idea that women might want to take up arms,” she says. Saint Joan marks Roe’s return to acting after two and a half years off the stage and it’s been a joy to perform again, she says. “There’s a great pleasure in that intimacy with the playwright, getting in their head and trying to

determine what it was they wanted to say and how they wanted to say it.” But Joan of Arc is also an inherently challenging role — one that has presented Roe with tough questions about her character, about power and destiny that don’t have black-and-white answers. “I hope it’s that way for the audience too. I think Shaw can be challenging because he asks big questions with lots of words. He wants you to listen and not just receive. He wants you to engage with him, with his ideas,” she says. “But I think it’s a pleasure when you ﬁnd yourself understanding and following and enjoying what he’s positing, what he’s putting out there.” In any case, Roe believes Saint Joan is “a play for our time.” It deals with violence, war, God, humanity, the self — “and how all those things combine to hopefully create a gentle and loving civilization, and how often they do not.”

FANS honours artistic achievement Ulrich and Comber latest recipients of arts awards ■ FANS Tribute to the Arts, Friday, Nov. 14, 7-10 p.m. at the Gordon Smith Gallery of Canadian Art. Tickets: $25 for one or $40 for two are available at the Centennial Theatre box ofﬁce, phone 604-984-4484 or visit centennialtheatre.com. ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com

Bowen Island musician Shari Ulrich and West Vancouver designer and sculptor Brent Comber have been named recipients of the 2014 FANS (Fund for the Arts on the North Shore Society) Distinguished Artist Award. The honour will see the duo join the ranks of previous Distinguished Artist Award recipients, an impressive list that includes visual artist Elizabeth Smiley, musician Bryan Adams, composer Michael ConwayBaker, choreographer Judith Marcuse, actor Nicola Cavendish and contemporary artist Douglas Coupland, to name a few. The honour is bestowed upon local artists who’ve been nationally, and often internationally, recognized for achievement in their particular discipline, states Lori Phillips, FANS president, in an email. “FANS believes that by recognizing and honouring our artists we acknowledge and nurture the wealth of artistic talent found in our own community,” she says. Ulrich and Comber will receive their 2014 awards at the FANS Tribute to the Arts event, open to the public, Friday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. at North Vancouver’s Gordon Smith Gallery of Canadian Art. Local actor Jay Brazeau, who is also a previous FANS Distinguished Artist Award recipient, will serve as MC, and Ulrich is slated to perform. “As the only public arts event of its kind on the North Shore, the FANS

This year’s set of winners most deﬁnitely speaks to the society’s mission. “Both artists are tremendously accomplished in their respective ﬁelds and are very deserving of the award,” she says. “We are delighted to shine a spotlight on them here at home,” she adds. Ulrich is a two-time Juno Award winner and B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame inductee. Her career dates back to the 1970s with her involvement in Pied Pumkin and then The Hometown Band. She’s currently promoting her eighth solo album, Everywhere I Go, and has been nominated for the 2014 Canadian Folk Music Awards for Solo Artist and Songwriter of the Year, as well as for her work with The High Bar Gang. Comprised of

Ulrich, Barney Bentall, Rob Becker, Wendy Bird, Angela Harris, Colin Nairne and Eric Reed, the ensemble received nominations for album Lost and Undone: A Gospel Bluegrass Companion, in the categories of Traditional Album of the Year, Vocal Group of the Year and Ensemble of the Year. Ulrich is set to perform at the awards ceremony, which is being held in Ottawa at the end of the month. Apart from music, she is further exercising her creativity by tackling an autobiographical writing project. Ulrich is pleased to be a recipient of the FANS Distinguished Artist Award. “There aren’t a lot of ways to be honoured in the music business. There are award shows, but they’re very contingent on having a new album and then that album having the kind of promotion that garners that kind of award. This

has nothing to do with the business. It’s just about, I like to think of it as, what I might have brought to the community through music. It feels really good,” she says. “I am grateful to FANS not just for the award but for the work that they do. It’s wonderful to have groups of volunteers who are so passionate about the arts, and supporting artists, and supporting arts period for their community. It’s a wonderful thing,” she adds. Comber views the work of FANS as an important means of encouraging new artists to realize their own unique potential. “I do like shining spotlights on artists in general because I get encouraged when I hear about artists becoming successful and becoming more familiar to the populace, especially on the North Shore,” he says. “Because I really think it could be a good career path for fellow artists or people thinking about becoming

an artist. It’s just another way of shining a light on a direction that is becoming more and more acceptable. It wasn’t that long ago, like before the Bryan Adams and the Doug Couplands, it was sort of unusual and really unusual I guess for people to be making a go of it as artists.” Comber, who maintains a studio in North Vancouver, specializes in the design of contemporary urban forms from ancient sources, according to FANS. A current project he’s working on is the creation of a number of pieces of furniture to be housed in Canada House in London, United Kingdom. Comber is among the Canadian artists contributing pieces intended to showcase coast-to-coast style. Comber credits his own signature approach to growing up and living on the North Shore, which has long allowed him the quick ability to interface with nature. “I

like to experience being in it immediately and so the North Shore is wonderful for that,” he says. It’s also a community rich in creativity. “The North Shore has been a home to a lot of artists actually in one form or another,” says Comber. Initiatives like the FANS Tribute to the Arts play an important role in bringing the local artistic community together, something he’s experienced ﬁrsthand as a result of his involvement this year. Following the announcement of their being awarded, Comber and Ulrich have formed a fast friendship. The singersongwriter reached out to the designer, interested in familiarizing herself with his work. “Just making that connection with another artist is really nice,” she says. Comber, interested in doing the same, decided to See Tribute page 50

What are your priorities if elected?

Transportation, trafﬁc congestion, housing and economic development. For details and more policy positions please visit RogerBassam.ca.

Improved transportation mobility and accessibility, opportunity for young adults and families, openness, transparency and accountability in government, citizen and youth engagement in civic affairs.

Transportation infrastructure improvement; TransLink improvement; better managed density; diverse housing choices; improved seniors’ housing; honest and transparent local government.

My priority if elected is to make well-informed, long-term decisions based on the interests and well-being of the entire community.

Balancing lifestyle, environment and growth.

To address transportation issues caused by increased population, and particularly to solve problem of trafﬁc congestion. To protect the district’s green spaces and wilderness areas.

Review and adjust OCP to ensure future development reﬂects community wishes. Improve transportation. Continue to apply sound ﬁnancial practices to sustainability of infrastructure and environment.

How would you address the district’s transportation needs?

We require major investment in our transportation infrastructure to alleviate the trafﬁc congestion and build out safe pedestrian and cycling transit networks.

Real choice between transportation modes. Provide opportunities for citizens to leave second car at home. Prioritize safety of vulnerable road users, pedestrians, seniors.

Improve direct bus service to strategic locations. Expand SeaBus to Burnaby. Explore a third Narrows crossing. Local jobs, which limit commuting.

I recognize that trafﬁc is one of the most critical issues that people here face and it is going to take a long-term commitment.

Continue to bring pressure to bear on provincial and federal governments, TransLink/Metro to recognize the needs of the North Shore and solicit the appropriate funding.

We need to work with all levels of government to develop a better road system for North Vancouver. We also need better cycle paths.

Actively engage with the province and TransLink to improve transportation corridors and connectivity. Improve transit routes and frequency during peak periods.

Are you open to amalgamating with the City of North Vancouver?

Absolutely, and I will make the long-term goal of reuniﬁcation a consideration in every major policy decision I make as a councillor.

Amalgamation must bring value to citizens. Better services, lower cost. More information is needed. It takes two to tango but the district can lead.

Yes. For now we can create a North Shore planning agency to allow for better planning and less overlap.

I don’t know; I am open to exploring options that are in the best interest of the people of the District of North Vancouver.

Absolutely, it is long overdue. The city was carved out and formed by developers of the day. It is an unnecessary duplication of services and cost.

I support reuniﬁcation. We are one community and we will be stronger as one united municipality.

Yes, from a common sense basis especially with regard to geography and duplication of administrative costs.

Is the district managing growth appropriately?

Yes, I support key OCP goals, such as a low 1% or less annual growth, which is what the DNV is experiencing; preserving our single-family neighbourhoods, green spaces and industrial lands.We will invest in needed infrastructure to accommodate the population increase, like new roads, community centres and parks.

Complete, connected communities will have long-term beneﬁts for all citizens but the devil is in the details. Development must provide a mix of housing types for all stages of life, create amazing places for people, and account for long-term servicing costs of the district.

No. Residential growth and density is growing too fast, while there is little or no growth in good local jobs. The district has handed off responsibility for managing housing to developers who are most interested in selling condos to overseas investors as a platform for Canadian convenience passports.

I believe the key is balancing the need for housing while at the same time sustaining the lifestyle that makes the District of North Vancouver so desirable. In doing this, also ensuring the best environmental outcome and maintaining the tax base to sustain that way of life.

The OCP is a 20-year plan. Moving to an implementation mode doesn’t mean all development will happen at once. Growth needs to be co-ordinated with transportation and infrastructure improvements. It must make sense, be sustainable and allowed time to be absorbed into the fabric of community life.

Until infrastructure is in place to support further population growth, I would slow down development. At the same time, once infrastructure is in place to support the increased population, I would support re-zoning aimed to create a greater range of housing affordability for young families, singles and seniors.

Growth will occur based on federal Immigration policies and mandatory regional growth strategies. The North Shore has one of the lowest growth targets. Our role is to set the guidelines so that major development occurs in town centres and on transit routes so that the single family environment is preserved.

What are your priorities if elected?

Housing and the upcoming change in demographics. Transportation, and alternative methods to solving trafﬁc issues. Ensuring the district focuses on being environmentally friendly.

Improving transportation and trafﬁc Issues; managing increased housing density; providing ﬁscal responsibility and oversight for tax increases

Keeping the district “human scale.” Reducing trafﬁc congestion and pace of development. Action on transit. Business development. Sustainability, stopping KInder Morgan’s expansion. Much and more.

Seniors issues and consideration in development, transportation, etc. Protective services and policy regarding public safety (again consideration in development and transportation/trafﬁc). Trafﬁc in general.

Transportation infrastructure, cost containment through ﬁscal prudence, North Shore integrated planning, a broad range and affordable mix of housing choices regardless of stage of life.

I will continue to protect the district’s conservative approach to ﬁscal management. I seek low taxes, low cost and only growth that meets our needs.

Create a phased development plan to allow infrastructure to catch up; continue trail and natural area upgrade; replace aging infrastructure; advance bridgehead improvements.

How would you address the district’s transportation needs

Alternative methods, such as foot, bicycle, and buses, need to be made more plausible at all times and in all neighbourhoods. TransLink relationship needs continuation.

Working with other senior levels of government ensuring investments and completion of roads, highway and bicycle infrastructure; more public transit; smarter density.

Surprisingly, council lacks basic facts on which to base decisions. Proliferating cars must end, and credible transportation solutions for transit, walking, cycling need to be implemented.

Look for ways to move trafﬁc across the North Shore away from highway. Push for better transit after peak hours and off the main routes.

Fern Street bypass; Keith Road bridge expansion; purchase of Keith Lynn to expand Mountain Highway are in the pipeline. Fully integrate North Shore planning.

We need a new east-west road to take pressure off Highway 1. I also propose a new SeaBus terminal near Phibbs Exchange.

Infrastructure replacement/improvement, advance east-west connector to Seymour and Second Narrows bridgehead improvements, Phibbs upgrade.

Are you open to amalgamating with the City of North Vancouver?

The future of both district and city would improve with amalgamation. Assessments need to continue to ensure it remains a positive for both areas.

Yes. Support the appointment of joint blue ribbon panel to provide deﬁnitive cost beneﬁt analysis report to respective councils.

Yes. But done smartly.

Yes, but until there is a mandate or a common will, I am not sure it is worth the energy.

Yes, absolutely, the North Shore is a balkanized community, top heavy with politicians and senior bureaucrats. The ﬁrst step is merging the two North Vancouvers.

I am in favour of amalgamating and will insist that it’s done at no extra cost to taxpayers. Every district resident I’ve met supports this.

Yes, but ﬁrst we need to answer some complex questions to allow the community the opportunity to make an informed decision.

Is the district managing growth appropriately?

Efforts need to be improved so all members of the community are properly represented with development. The environment needs to be kept at the forefront of all planning rather than being an afterthought. Before increasing density a more strategic standpoint on trafﬁc must be taken.

With completion of the ofﬁcial community plan, the district has now entered a phase of managing new growth in designated town centres. Resistance to this new growth requires articulating the OCP vision that can quell citizen fear about the loss of a quality of life.

No.They are not managing growth appropriately, rather they react to it. Hence the current mess. It is a misguided idea that developers are doing us a big “favour” when they build here. Councillors accepting money from developers are compromising decisions. Believe me when I say,“I will reverse that.”

I don’t think of growth as a problem, but I am not convinced the infrastructure is developed and managed appropriate to any growth. With growth and density proper planning of services need to be planned and in place to avoid serious negative impacts on our communities.

We could and should do better. Much of the development is pre-OCP, especially in Lynn Valley where people want to live. Growth has been too brisk and a slower pace would give the community time to adjust and us time to ﬁx the transportation gridlock. I say “slow it down”.

I support the ofﬁcial community plan’s targeting of growth into town centres. I will seek diverse housing types for seniors and families in the centres. All costs of growth must be considered before approving more. Increased trafﬁc and demand for health services are consequences of growth that must be resolved.

No, district OCP is a sustainable 20-year vision, however multiple projects starting all at once have created gridlock, regular trafﬁc congestion, stress and endless detours, impacting our quality of life. We need a phased approach, and better coordination with CNV, Metro, Port Metro to manage change responsibly.

One cigarette changed the course of musical history. The Crooning Crabcakes were set to entertain at the Springﬁeld High 1958 senior prom when causeless rebel Billy Ray Patton was suspended for smoking. All seemed lost until

Missy, Cindy Lou, Suzy and Betty, better known as the Marvelous Wonderettes, surfed to the prom’s rescue on a crinoline wave. Many young women in the 1950s lived with the simple mantra: “Get a boyfriend or die,” notes Katherine Alpen, who plays Missy. Jukebox musical The MarvelousWonderettes is divided between that prom performance and a reunion in 1968. After 10 years of pizza and longing, Missy belts out “Wedding Bell Blues,” at the reunion, a ditty which includes lyrics like: “Kisses

and love won’t carry me till you marry me, Bill.” “You could see it and you could say, ‘OK, that’s — maybe a little bit simplistic in its emotional story,’” Alpen says of the song. “(But) when you really get down to it and you’re telling someone really how you feel, you use those words.” Roger Bean’s comedic melodrama looks at jealousy, Cupid’s lack of intelligence, and unrequited love through the prism of hit songs like “Mr. Sandman,” “Heatwave,” and “It’s In His Kiss.” Asked about the endurance of the music, Alpen turns contemplative. “Maybe it’s nice because it’s uncomplicated,” she says. “Comforting.”

Fresh from Capilano University’s theatre program, Alpen auditioned for the show, in part, because she had a perfect 1950s dress. She tried — unsuccessfully — to minimize her emotional attachment to Missy after the audition. “I got home and I realized how much I really wanted to do it and I was like, ‘Oh crap, now I care. Now it hurts,’” she says. At the prom, Missy pines for a fellow who seems unavailable.Ten years later, she’s still pining. “I really love Missy,” Alpen says. “She’s very high-strung . . . she could probably just use a day off.” See Lynn page 25

PurpleDirt was inspired by a vacation to Central America CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

In a remote area of northern Nicaragua, eight women are making jewelry to support themselves and their community. Together, these women form the Artesanía del Mar artisan co-operative. And they recently teamed up with North Vancouver resident Erin Walker to create a 25-per-cent artisan-owned jewelry company called PurpleDirt. “We create a lot of boho jewelry primarily made out of recycled materials, so we use recycled guitar strings as well as some scrap metal from the revolution down in Nicaragua,” says Walker, CEO and founder of PurpleDirt. “Ten per cent of all sales are donated back to one of our partner charities in Nicaragua,” she adds. Walker launched PurpleDirt a little less than a year ago, inspired to do so after vacationing in Nicaragua with friends in the spring of 2013. “Nicaragua is the poorest country in Central America, the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. They’ve been through so much political turmoil, so much national turmoil, yet they’re such a positive culture,” she says. “They’re community oriented, they’re family oriented and it just really inspired me to be able to do something to give back

to those less fortunate.” So, she took a leave of absence from her corporate job to make PurpleDirt a reality. Running the organization involves flying down to Nicaragua several times a year to check in on the artisans. “They were already a co-op,” Walker explains, “but had very basic foundational skills, so I worked with them to introduce new materials, new techniques, new designs.” Walker accompanies the women on trips to the capital city of Managua where they pick up raw materials to craft their necklaces and bracelets. The finished jewelry represents a fusion of Nicaraguan and Canadian designs. Walker says the biggest sellers are pieces that incorporate second-hand guitar strings (sourced from Canadian guitar shops) and their Elephant Shoe bracelets, which play on the idea that the words “elephant shoe,” when mouthed without sound, resemble the words “I love you.” PurpleDirt jewelry is sold mainly online at www. shoppurpledirt.com but is also available on the North Shore at Hollyburn Country Club and Joy Hair Salon at Lonsdale Quay. The name of the organization reflects its motive, Walker says. “Purple is the colour See Objective page 23

of kind and caring and nurture.” And dirt “is sometimes underestimated,” she says, but if you give dirt seeds, water and light “it can ﬂourish and grow into something absolutely amazing and beautiful.” By arming the Nicaraguan artisans with the appropriate tools, techniques and education, she hopes they will be better able to support themselves and their families. “They’re able to grow and sustain themselves and really empower themselves within their local communities.” Looking ahead, Walker would like to get PurpleDirt jewelry into more retail stores and grow her organization. “The hope would be to expand beyond Nicaragua once we’ve got a great process in place and foundation to move into other countries and other regions.”

THEATRE

Lynn Valley actor also working on horror film From page 20 Alpen speaks to the North Shore News after being outfitted for a costume, wig and microphone just a few days before the curtain rises on her first performance as the lovelorn ingenue. “Now there’s 17 things going on around me and I still have to do what I was doing in rehearsal,” she says. Alpen speaks rapidly, frequently punctuating her thoughts with laughter. She describes Missy as “super organized” and “super high functioning.” “It reflects real life in that I’m always way too busy for my own good,” she says. A lifelong Lynn Valley resident, Alpen grew up listening to her mother’s violin and her father’s piano. Theatre has been part of the actress’ life since a Grade 6 performance where she played the king

=09 G `60* j04^b6\Wb ?Y9bW 9Y0f5 h\55f% cmeHe IGccil:< in a class production of The Little Prince. “I get high off of going to see live theatre,” Alpen says. Despite her attraction to “the living entity” of theatre, Alpen initially tried her hand at one of Capilano University’s more practical programs. “I think I fought it for about six months,” she recalls. “I was miserable, so

I went back into theatre.” The ensuing years were: “Probably the best three years of my life to date,” she says. Asked why people should see The Marvelous Wonderettes, Alpen launches into a monologue about the fragile power of theatre. “It’s not like a movie. You can’t say I’ll get it when it’s out on DVD. No, you have to go.You actually have to put on your shoes and fork over the money that you would probably otherwise just spend on coffee and sit in the seat and submit yourself to a live action experience,” she says. “It’s only going to happen once and once it’s gone it’s never the same as it was.” Following the production, Alpen is slated to play a mentally unstable criminal in Camp Death III, a satire targeting 1980s horror movies. “I must give off that vibe or something. Maybe I’m actually crazy.”

FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOUR FOOD All about PC® Free From Chicken Breasts

All chicken and pork sourced in Canada are raised without hormones. Our PC® Free From brand goes a step further by sourcing farmers who raise their beef, pork and chicken without the use of antibiotics or hormones. PC® Free From chicken is also vegetable grain-fed and with no animal by-products. There are beneﬁts to eating chicken as part of a healthy diet. In a 75 gram serving of roasted chicken breast, you’ll get 23 grams of protein, and only 1.5 grams of total fat and 0.4 grams of saturated fat! Protein is important as it makes up the enzymes that power many chemical reactions in the body, and is found in almost all body parts and tissues. Health Canada recommends 0.8 grams of protein per kg body weight each day for those 19 years and over. Some nutrition experts recommend consuming 30 grams of protein at each meal.

Experiment with recipes for marinades, sauces and rubs to spice up your chicken breast. For the Fall season, try chicken and dumpling soup, Irish chicken stew, hearty chicken chili, or use chicken in your next slow-cooker recipe. Buy whole wheat pizza dough, and toss cooked chicken onto a homemade pizza. Create stuffed chicken breast by using a meat pounder to make it thin, roll with baby kale and low-fat feta cheese, and then bake.

PC® Free From Chicken is raised without the use of antibiotics and hormones. Visit our Meat Department to pick up your PC® Free From Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts today!

FILM

Just the right mix of awe and menace ■ Interstellar. Directed and co-written by Christopher Nolan. Starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway. Rating: 7 (out of 10). JULIE CRAWFORD ContributingWriter

In Interstellar’s scary real-world scenario, humankind has wreaked so much havoc on the Earth that crops have failed and the population has dwindled drastically. In the U.S. corn is ofﬁcially the only viable crop left to feed the masses, but it too is falling victim to blight that has turned the soil to dust. It’s like The Grapes ofWrath redux: dust covers everything, towering dust storms envelop towns and people are slowly suffocating.When it comes to our planet, “We’re not meant to save it, we’re meant to leave it.” Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) has done alright (or is that “alright, alright, alright”?) so far. He’s a corn farmer, a widower scratching out a survival with two kids and his father-in-law (John Lithgow) at home. Cooper resents the fact that school ofﬁcials have decreed that his son (Timothee Chalamet) will also become a farmer, and is incensed that his 10-year-old daughter Murphy’s (Mackenzie Foy) textbooks have been rewritten to declare the Apollo landings bogus. “We used to look and wonder about our place in the stars,” laments Coop, “Now we just look down in the dirt.” Cooper has reason to reminisce: he used to be a pilot for NASA. Imagine the coincidence, then, when Cooper and Murph stumble upon a top-secret

NORAD facility run by his old mentor, Professor Brand (Michael Caine). Of course, there are no coincidences, the film suggests. Brand and his team have found a wormhole leading to 12 possibly viable worlds: they’ve already sent manned crafts to several of the planets — the Lazarus missions — and received vague signals from a few. It’s up to the crew to try to reach the most promising planets and A, send data back to Earth so humankind can head for their new planetary home, or B, leave Earth’s population to die while the crew establishes a new colony with the few hundred frozen embryos they’ve brought onboard. Cooper has now joined the expedition and is strongly for option A, being a father with strong ties back home. Murph begs him not to go: it was some kind of ghostly, binary code in her bedroom that led them to the NORAD facility in the first place and now, she insists, it’s telling Coop to stay. But go he does, with Brand’s scientist daughter Amelia (Anne Hathaway) and two other crew members (David Gyasi and Wes Bentley) onboard. It’s a race against time: for every hour the crew spends on one of these planets, seven years will have passed on Earth. Time is a tricky thing. Meanwhile Prof. Brand and Jessica Chastain try to solve the gravity equation that will allow for a planetary exodus. Casey Affleck has taken over Coop’s farm. McConaughey conveys a father’s anguish perfectly. Hathaway is less convincing; granted, her character is less fully formed and director Christopher Nolan’s SeeVisually page 49

McCabe & Mrs. Miller: Robert Altman’s “beautiful pipe dream”

JOHN GOODMAN jgoodman@nsnews.com

Boot and fog

When the studio bosses in L.A. first saw some of the rushes from McCabe & Mrs. Miller they were not pleased. During the winter of 1970 Robert Altman was up inWestVancouver making a movie with their money and they had no control over what he was doing. No they were not happy at all. Altman had spent much of the previous decade directing television shows and trying to figure out the best ways to avoid dealing with the rote machinations of old Hollywood. In the process he became a master of obfuscation. Pushing formulaic scripts to studios he had no intention of filming gave them what they wanted to hear and got Altman the seed money he needed to make his own films. And then he chose locations far enough out of town that the money men would have no way of keeping an eye on him. Vancouver suited Altman’s purposes perfectly. It was just across the border and had none of the baggage attached to the typical Hollywood production. B.C.-born producer James Margellos told writer Regan Payne (in a PopMatters article http://bit.ly/1Gup6fB) that he initially pointed Altman

northwards when the director was looking for a place that rained a lot and was closer to L.A. than London, England. The first film Altman made locally, 1969‘s That Cold Day in the Park at West Vancouver’s Panorama Studios, was a critical and box-office disaster but would set the wheels in motion for what would eventually become Hollywood North. Immediately after that production, the massive success of his next film, the black comedy MASH, gave Altman more leverage in negotiating what, when and where he was going to shoot.The independent maverick wanted to do an anti-western and he wanted to make it in Vancouver. He started a production company called Lions Gate Films and headed north to make his movie in the wilds of Cypress Bowl. “There was some barren land on what was called the Upper Levels,” recalls producer David Foster in audio commentary included with the 2002 DVD rerelease of McCabe & Mrs. Miller. “One side of it was luxury homes with swimming pools and tennis courts. It was unbelievable. It had a great view of the water. Howe Sound.We went to the builder who owned the houses — there must have been 20 expensive, exclusive homes — and told him what we wanted to do.We wanted to rent the other part of the land and build

this set and shoot the movie there. And it turned out there was a law in Vancouver that he couldn’t develop the barren land until he’d sold all of the houses he’d developed. He hadn‘t sold them all so that made it moderately easy for us.” The two main stars of the film — Warren Beatty and Julie Christie — signed on after the buzz around Altman and MASH hit a fever pitch. Before MASH Altman “had been shooting how-to instructional baseball films in Kansas City,” jokes Foster on the DVD commentary. After it’s release he could pretty well write his own ticket. Beatty was bent on making Shampoo with Christie, his girlfriend and a film star in her own right, but hadn’t finished the script and was looking for another vehicle to work on in the meantime. As a prickly “perfectionist” Beatty was almost exactly the opposite of the laissez-faire, loose-as-a-goose Altman who liked to let things happen. Looking back years later, Altman thought Beatty had done a brilliant acting job on McCabe but during the filming they rarely agreed. Beatty liked to shoot many takes while Altman preferred to shoot only a few and keep things fresh. Christie too liked to get things right right from the start and didn’t need to waste See Altman page 47

much time on retakes. One night shooting a Beatty soliloquy Altman eventually went to bed and left the actor working with DP cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond. The screenplay is based ostensibly on Edmund Naughton‘s 1959 novel McCabe but Altman encouraged improvisation. He worked with Beatty and Christie daily on the “script.”The director shot his movies like jazz music working from a structure but constantly creating new things in the moment. Entire scenes in McCabe were structured around improvisational material. Dialogue was often made up on the spot as a scene was being shot.There was a conceptual framework but it was meant to be messed with. Altman wanted accidents to happen. The filmmaker filled the story with the different accents and accoutrements of first generation settlers making new lives far from home. Beatty plays John McCabe, a mysterious gambler who appears in the town of Presbyterian Church one day. Christie (Constance

Addicted to opium her character speaks with a Cockney accent and always seems to be one step ahead of McCabe‘s “frontier wit.” The rest of the large ensemble cast included Altman “ﬁnds” (such as Shelley Duvall and Keith Carradine) mixed in with local Vancouver actors, many

of whom were appearing in their first film.The director became known for bringing his cast and crew along with him on film after film and that started during this period. He created a family atmosphere during shooting which extended long into the night as everyone was invited to view rushes of the day’s work. Altman intended to build the set for McCabe

& Mrs. Miller while he was shooting the movie using local carpenters dressed in period costume. If the workmen walked through a scene while the cameras were rolling they wouldn‘t look out of place. Shooting in chronological order, in a

cinéma vérité-documentary style, the Paciﬁc Northwest mining village of Presbyterian Church grows before our eyes as the story unfolds. The look and feel of the ﬁlm had to be authentic and a lot of that overall esthetic Altman attributed to his “brilliant” art director Leon Ericksen. Ericksen, who had also worked on Dennis Hopper‘s epic Peruvian escapade The Last Movie during this period, was instrumental in creating what Altman wanted. Everyone in the cast

received period clothes from the Warner Brothers wardrobe department and they were expected to live in them for the duration of the four-month shoot. In the case of the carpenters on set that unique fashion sense extended well past the production as some of them were reportedly still wearing McCabe-like garb when they went to work on Al Clapp‘s Habitat Forum in 1976.

DeLuxe gang constructed set

From page 47

Clemens, Ian Ridgway and Ross Garrick, worked under the group name DeLuxe at the tail end of the ’60s and into the ’70s. Leathersmith Davy Joel Rippner, who was also one of the seasonal renovation crew, says Ridgway was the most skilled woodworker and schooled the others in the carpentry trade. The DeLuxe gang used recycled materials (from buildings such as Victorian teardowns on Seventh Avenue in Vancouver) in building new projects and that esthetic was carried over into the building of the McCabe set.The town of Presbyterian Church has many of the same features that the DeLuxers used in constructing their homes on the Mudflats including extended walkways between structures.The carpenters and some of the cast and crew lived in the hand-hewn structures on the set during filming. Others involved in the production found off-site digs. Cinematographer Zsigmond rented an apartment overlooking the ferries at Horseshoe Bay. He worked closely with Altman creating the film’s visual world. The director wanted the scenes to look as if they were shot in the 19th century. Unbeknownst to the studio they decided to “flash” the film negative before

To keep their secret under wraps Altman used a Vancouver lab to process the ﬁlm and blamed local incompetence for any perceived problems assuring Warner Brothers they could ﬁx things later. He also rented a studio at Panorama in West Vancouver to view rushes after the day’s shoot just down the road. Mike Nichols was there at the same time making Carnal Knowledge with Jack Nicholson and AnnMargret. Beatty and Nicholson, who became lifelong pals, actually were introduced at

one of the nightly parties Altman hosted during the shooting of McCabe. Three songs from Leonard Cohen (“The Stranger Song,” “Winter Lady” and “Sisters of Mercy”) were used in the film but were not added until the editing stage. Initially Altman wanted all the music on the soundtrack to be played by musicians in the film and only decided to use the Cohen material after he finished shooting but before editing began. Warner Brothers wasn’t too keen on using Cohen’s songs as the music had been released on his label Columbia

Records. They didn’t want to put out more money for the tracks and offered to ﬁnd a similar artist from the Warner Brothers roster. Altman wouldn’t consider that option and approached Cohen himself. The musician happened to be a big fan of Altman’s, after having seen Brewster McCloud, and gave him the songs and signed over future royalties to the tunes once McCabe came out. He also went into a studio and recorded additional instrumental guitar tracks to be used in the ﬁlm. When the temperature dipped below freezing one day Altman had special effects people hose down

the town to create a sheen of ice over everything. It started snowing heavily as the production was moving into the final days of shooting. The 20-minute denouement, featuring a fire in the town church and a gunfight, was shot over nine days during and after the heavy weather. There’s a production shot of Altman up to his waist in snow directing a scene. Zsigmond tells Mitchell Zuckoff in Robert Altman: An Oral Biography (published in 2009) “That was the part at the very end when he decided not to flash the film. In the snow. Think about it — the whole movie is basically like a pipe dream, a fantasy, and now we are real, now McCabe is in danger. And that’s what happened. It becomes very stark, not hazy anymore, not foggy. It’s real.” In the audio commentary released with the McCabe DVD, Altman says that after the film was released filmmaker Stanley Kubrick contacted him to find out how they had lit a particular scene where Beatty lights his cigar. His answer was classic Altman: “I have no idea how we did it. We weren’t really going for it at the time. It just kind of happened.” — For more information on the DeLuxe utopian vision and the Maplewood Mudflats go to http://bit.ly/10A57v4.

From page 45 script, written with brother Jonathan Nolan, definitely takes a backseat to the spectacle at hand. The film was shot using a combination of 35mm and 65mm Imax technology, and this is where it pays off: the sound of spacecraft takeoff and landing is deafening and seat-rattling; the silence of space is striking. Hans Zimmer’s score has just the right mix of awe and menace, so we never know what’s about to happen. Visually Interstellar is an impressive, immersive experience, and as we hurtle from one near-disaster to the next we hardly notice the film’s two-hour and 49 minute runtime. For twothirds of the movie, that is. Because none of us knows what it’s like on the far side of a worm hole, beyond what the astrophysicists hypothesize, the last third of the film necessarily takes on a trippy, Kubrickian cast, and our attention begins to falter.The fourth and fifth dimension, the scientific purpose of love, bending time: pair these with the film’s last-act strangeness and many viewers will leave scratching their heads and wishing they had gone to an Adam Sandler movie instead.

Tribute presenting grants to five more artists From page 16 go see Ulrich perform last Saturday night in Sooke. “I made a special trip over there to hear her in a one-person concert in a church and it was really amazing,” he says. Five other local artists will also be awarded at the FANS Tribute to the Arts event next Friday, presented with career development grants. “(The) FANS Society is extremely proud of this unique grant program, which directly beneﬁts our deserving community artists who are interested in developing their practise,” says Phillips, explaining the program was developed to address a perceived gap in funding available to individual artists at the grassroots level. Artists are encouraged to apply for support in a variety of areas, including artistic production, marketing development, research and professional development. This year’s crop of grant recipients will receive funds to assist with CD marketing, playwriting and artistic product development. Apart from the annual awards program, representatives of FANS have launched a membership option for community members to become more involved with the society throughout the year. “We are always interested to hear from people who are passionate about the arts and would like to assist FANS in encouraging and supporting local creative talents,” says Phillips. Next year, the society will celebrate its 20th anniversary and is seeking to bring its endowment up to $100,000 from where it currently sits at $82,000. “We’re looking to raise $18,000 over the coming year,” says Phillips. “It’s a big challenge but we know that investment in the arts translates into vibrant creative communities and improved quality of life for us all.”

TRAVEL

Things ain’t what they used to be

Atlantic City casinos no longer the only game in town DAVID WISHART ContributingWriter

ATLANTIC CITY — Travel writers are supposed to know where the action is, and looking back, I‘ve been to many of the best places, and others unexpectedly less enthralling, but usually, somehow, go home thinking I can write something to make the trip worthwhile. Until recently, when I went to Atlantic City, New Jersey. I had a good time, particularly on its golf courses. But I had barely unpacked when a large US newspaper came out with the headline, “Once-fabled Atlantic City hits free fall.” What happened? Did some guy break the bank at a casino? At all the casinos? No, it appears gamblers are not showing up like they used to. Not that there is anything wrong with the place, it‘s just that whereas Atlantic City used to be the only resort in the state to have gambling, and the only state outside of Nevada where losing your shirt was legal, it seems all the states surrounding New Jersey now have casinos, and New York is poised to be next, and right on the Jersey line. In eight years 10,000 casino jobs have been lost,

and now the city is urgently looking for a new direction. Indeed it should, and the newspaper article was good enough to say that Atlantic City had successfully reinvented itself in the past. It had, and has, a lot going for it, starting with a glorious beach and an easy drive from New York. It hosted the ﬁrst Miss America pageant in 1921 and when Monopoly was launched in 1935

all the names — such as Boardwalk — came from Atlantic City. Bob Hope in his vaudeville days was a regular, and when Arnold Palmer was an enlisted man in the Coast Guard 1951-52, he played golf here in his sailor suit. Like the best seaside resorts it had a pier and they say that even during Prohibition there was fun to be had. The bottom line is that casinos were a quick ﬁx

that has not worked out. So now what? Having lost my shirt as a young guy (if you are going to lose all your money a good time to do it is when you don‘t have any) I was not tempted by the tables, although it‘s impossible to go anywhere in a casino hotel without crossing a gambling zone. My room at Caesar‘s was well priced and exceedingly comfortable, and I had a wonderful sea

view.Wi-Fi worked well and the laundry was so cheap I‘m going to bring a pile of it on my next visit. To get to the beach took three minutes and en route was the Backyard Bar, with an ocean-view patio and big-screen TVs inside for live sports. Of course I didn‘t spend all my time there. Heck, there was that classic, wooden boardwalk, a Starbucks, even a lawyer‘s ofﬁce (“acquittals in most

cases” it advertised). Nightlife ranges from Rod Stewart in concert to threeminute helicopter rides over the strip at night. And not far away is the Atlantic City Country Club. Six USGA majors have been played there, including the US Open, won in 1911 by the club pro, Johnny J. McDermott, at the age of 19. The terms “birdie” and “eagle” were ﬁrst coined at this enjoyable course, kept in perfect condition and offering a warm welcome to visitors. The clubhouse has the charm of an old homestead, the pictures on the dining room walls are absolutely fascinating, and as for the locker room — well, one locker has “Al Capone” on it. He owned a house nearby. Not far away is the Stockton Seaview resort, two courses managed by upscale operator Troon Golf. The hotel has the same old-world atmosphere as the Country Club, while the golf shop is well stocked and manned by pros who make you feel welcome. The meal we had in the players’ bar was ﬁrst-rate as well. Being on the bay the courses get plenty of wind, but it rarely detracts from the pleasure of being on attractive and well maintained tracks. I was teamed up with two guys on vacation from Iceland, and it was the golf that brought them here, not blackjack. So maybe that’s the next reinvention for Atlantic City — golf. It would bring me back.

ROTTERDAM — Deadcalm sea. Nearly full moon rising through the porthole window. Almost no noise in the cabin. Bliss. And no chance whatsoever of hitting a storm or an iceberg, because this ship is safely docked and not going anywhere. On the SS Rotterdam passengers now travel only in time, back to the 1960s when crossing the Atlantic by ship was still the elegant way to go if you were in ﬁrst class,

or economical if you were in second. From her launch in 1959 until 1971, when the route was ﬁnally doomed by the rise of the jet airplane, the Rotterdam regularly made the seven-day ocean voyage from this Dutch port to New York, travelling at a leisurely 22.5 knots. Today the largest passenger ship ever built in the Netherlands, once the ﬂagship of the Holland America Line, with room for more than 1,500 paying guests, has become a living monument to her era.Thanks to a series of

(ultimately) happy accidents the Rotterdam’s original 1950s décor is still intact in the public areas throughout the vessel.The rooms have been reduced from 576 to 254 but, while modern bathrooms have been added, the style of the original cabins has been kept. Avan ’t Slot, who was a boilerman on the Rotterdam in the 1960s, is now one of the guides who takes tour groups around the ship. “The art that you see is all original,” he says, pointing to the murals of fairy tales that decorate the La Fontaine

dining room. There’s a small museum that expands on the ship’s history, and there’s ’t Slot’s favourite part of the tour, the engine room. It’s chilly in there now (it’s six metres below sea level) because all of the vessel’s power is brought from shore, but in its heyday the temperature was over 40 degrees Celsius. Ask him about any gauge and he’ll explain it—or don’t, if you want more time seeing spaces above the waterline. The white-whiskered ’t See Rotterdam page 52

Rotterdam now a hotel From page 51 Slot tells how the Rotterdam made 29 round-the-world voyages before being sold by Holland America in 1997.The company that bought her went bust three years later and the ship’s last voyage under her own power was from Halifax to Freeport, Bahamas in 2000. There she sat until 2005, when she was towed to a series of European ports, always in danger, as ’t Slot says, of being “made into razor blades.” It was a decade in limbo that allowed the Rotterdam to keep her original trimmings.When arrangements were ﬁnally made to bring her back to the place she was born, she returned little changed. She reopened as a hotel in 2010, a small recompense to the NewYork woman who came aboard, looked around and sighed, “I was born 50 years too late.” The night is still and the moon has set. As I drift off, every now and then I think I feel the slightest bit of movement, as if a ghost swell from the ship’s open-ocean days has somehow brushed her hull.

2015 Honda Fit

Little Honda a very nice Fit Fit: one syllable, two meanings. On one hand you’ve got a connotation indicating a good heart rate, a lack of love handles, and a BMI that doesn’t make your family doc furrow her brow while ﬂicking through your chart. On the other hand, it also means being the right size. As a moniker to slap on the back of a subcompact,

a company could hardly do better, and with previous Fits, you could say much the same thing about Honda. Particularly in the ﬁrst generation to arrive in North America, the Fit was quick, cute, capable, and fun to ﬂing around. It was the most Honda-ish car in Honda’s lineup. However, here’s the third generation and both width and power are up.

The demands of safety ratings and comfort levels are ever-present and this car is no longer the little ﬂighty Fit that we once knew and loved. It’s all growed up. So, has the littlest Honda gone from Fit to Fat, Or is it still survival of the Fittest? Design Like almost every other

modern Honda, there’s a lot going on here designwise.You’ve got your multi-layered grille, you’ve got your faux air-vents out back — it’s less cutesy than the ﬁrst-gen Fit, and a tad more aggressive than the previous model. I quite like it. It’s very Japanese-looking, full of angular creases and

a scrunched-up proﬁle, but the new Fit manages to look fresh without overdoing it. The rear nonfunctional bumper vents are a bit much, but other than that, it’s a sharplooking little pod. Hey little Honda, do you work out? Base cars come with 15-inch steel wheels and the top-level EX-L trim comes with 16-inch alloys. For those who are buying a subcompact to keep the costs down, that means your next set of winter tires isn’t going to break the bank even if you jump up to the all-the-bells-andwhistles model. There’s more good news inside too. Environment The Fit’s clever interior has been around long enough that you have to wonder why more manufacturers don’t copy it. Is it because Honda calls their tech “Magic Seat” and Toyota et al. can’t ﬁnd their Harry Potter wands? Whatever the case, the Fit is fabulous on the inside. The easiest way to demonstrate how great the Fit is at holding cargo is to unload another car into it, as I did.

(From left to right) Salesperson, Bobby Nouri and NS Kia General Manager, Moe Eftekhari show Dr. Jeffrey Stein his new Kia Soul EV. One of the world’s most anticipated electric cars, the Kia Soul electric, has finally arrived to a local North Shore car dealership. Delivery of one of the very first Kia Soul EV’s in Canada had taken place on October 28th by, Dr. Jeffrey Stein, of Vancouver. Stein was the first to test drive the new electric wheels and patiently waited for the arrival from the manufacturer to take delivery of his zero emissions vehicle. North Shore Kia’s anticipated new facility opening next year will be the first car dealership on the North Shore specially built around the sale and maintenance of electric vehicles.

Dealership builds a wine cellar — for a Jeep A biweekly roundup of automotive news good, bad and just plain weird:

Hamilton dealer puts Jeep underfoot A vintage car is exactly not like a vintage wine: it does not improve with age. However, values do go up, and thus a simple idea was born.Why not build the Jeep equivalent of a wine cellar? Bay King Chrysler in Hamilton, Ont., has an unusual new feature in its showroom.Walk in and you can walk over top of a 1943 Willys Jeep, buried in the ﬂoor with a glass roof. The dealership has had the vintage car for a while, and the idea of displaying the brand heritage underground echoes a similar feature in a house that had a glass ﬂoor looking down into a wine cellar.

help for your cars.The duo was quick-witted, given to good-natured ribbing, and occasionally they’d pull a gem out of the oilpan. “Happiness is reality minus expectations.” Remember that old chestnut?You can thank Tom Magliozzi for it. He passed away this week at the age of 77, to be missed by all. Car Talk ran from 1977 until 2012, and was far and away the most popular show on NPR in the latter decades. As it became an institution, people who couldn’t care less about cars tuned in, just to hear the brothers chortle away and make fun of each other.They were a comedy duo, but

never a mean-spirited one. Tom, the senior of the two Magliozzi brothers, was educated at MIT, and famously quit his job after a near-miss accident on a Massachusetts highway.The brothers opened a garage, started a talk show, and the next thing you knew an inspiration became a national institution. Old episodes of Car Talk are still worth a listen today, even if you can’t call in to ask for advice on your car trouble. After all, the brothers weren’t talking about the cars — they were talking to the people who owned them.

Jet-powered Peel Microcar There is, I think, nothing better than a truly bad idea. So here’s one: why not attach a jet engine to the one-time world’s smallest car? The Peel trident, a 49 cc single-seater car from the mid-1960s, was built on the Isle of Man and has features like no reverse gear. It’s small enough to be picked up and trundled around, and in one memorable Top Gear segment, Jeremy Clarkson drives it around the BBC

offices. Indoors. Anyway, somebody apparently decided it would be a good idea to strap a jet engine to one of these things and run it down the dragstrip. Surprisingly, nobody died, and the elapsed time was rather slow. However, you have to wonder what other tiny cars could benefit from huge injections of massive power. The Scramjet Isetta.The Turbonique Goggomobil. The Rocket-Propelled HMV Freeway. If anyone needs me, I’ll be in my garage, possibly slightly on fire.

New Mazda MX-5 takes to the racetrack Mazda’s MX-5 (nee Miata) is the most popular roadster the world has ever seen, and the most-raced car in the world. Mostly that’s because Mazda has been racing these things right out of the gate, with the lowcost, easy-to-run Miata Spec series providing inexpensive wheel-to-wheel action for beginners and up. The new car, known as the ND by chassis code, is thus generating plenty of

excitement. It looks fantastic, and while we’re not quite sure what’s going to power it underhood, it’s lighter by far than the outgoing model and should make an amazing racer. In fact, it does make an amazing racer. Debuting at the 2014 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show, Mazda showed off the racecourse version of their MX-5, ﬁtted with a rollcage and big sticky tires. It looks simply fantastic. The third generation car will continue to race all through next year, but come 2016, a global MX-5 challenge will pit drivers from multiple countries to ﬁnd out who’s best. After local heats, the cream of the crop will converge at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to battle for the championship. The winner also gets a shot at driving Mazda’s prototype Skyactiv race car. Toyota effectively wins SEMA Speaking of SEMA, you see all sorts of stuff at the show from wild to wacky, from impressive to eyesore.

Mostly eyesore, actually, come to think of it. However, it’s hard not to be impressed by two of Toyota’s efforts this year. First, they made a Scion cool.Then they made a Camry even cooler. The ﬁrst concept is a Scion xB with ‘70s style paint and a porthole window. It’s amazing, a disco-groovy shaggin’ wagon with a chocolate-brown interior and shag carpeting on the windows.That’s right: shag carpet windows. Even more impressive is the Camry Sleeper. Basically a plain-Jane looking silver family sedan, peer through the windows and you’ll see a glint of tube frames. Yes, that’s a dragster under there. An 850 horsepower, tube-frame dragster capable of quarter-mile times of nine seconds. Amazing! And not street legal in any way. Still, SEMA is all about showing off, so it’s nice to see a car that’s no show, and all go.

Performance Even though this year’s Fit is slightly smaller than last year’s model, Honda’s managed to cram more power under hood. The engine is now a 1.5-litre four-cylinder making 130 horsepower at 6,600 r.p.m. and 114 foot-pounds of torque at 4,600 r.p.m. If you look at the torque ﬁgure, you’ll note that it’s a little on the light side, so winding up that little four-

Still, it’s no slouch, and if you keep the revs up it can still be an entertaining drive. On longer roads at higher speeds, the Fit’s subcompact roots do show through. At highway speeds the tachometer reads more than 3,000 r.p.m., so there’s plenty of engine noise to go with the wind noise. I suppose it’s more a comment on

Features All Fits come with a standard backup camera and touchscreen, power door locks, a tilt-andtelescoping steering wheel, and a whole host of other features. Stepping up a level gets you those USB connectors and heated front seats, and the topspec ($21,295) EX-L comes with some pretty unique stuff. Take Honda’s camerabased lane-watch system: put on your indicator and it shows you your rightside blind-spot displayed in the centre console. It’s not the only thing to look at, but an extra check that might help you spot a cyclist or pedestrian. Fuel economy ratings are decent, as you’d expect for a subcompact, rated at 7.3 litres/100 kilometres city and 6.1 l/100 km highway for the CVT, and 8.1 city and 6.4 highway for the manual. Observed consumption in the manual on the highway was slightly higher than rated.

Ford Fiesta ($12,499) For fun-to-drive factor, it’s hard to beat Ford’s Fiesta. While it starts out more bare bones than the Honda (and cheaper too), the littlest Ford packs plenty of glee into its diminutive dimensions, no matter what the engine. The three-cylinder turbo is an interesting and efficient engine for highway commuters, and the 1.6-litre turbo ST is an absolute riot, but the standard 1.6-litre car is just fine the way it is. However, it’s an older interior design and not nearly as cleverly capable as the Honda. If you plan on stowing a bike or other large gear regularly, then the Fit is the way to go. If you stick with the Fiesta, some sort of cargo rack is going to be in order. mcaleer.nsnews@gmail.com
