City mulls medical marijuana shops

Licence request sparks pot dispensary debate

MARIA SPITALE-LEISK mspitale-leisk@nsnews.com

The City of North Vancouver is mulling a business licence application from a resident who is strongly intent on opening the

first medical marijuana dispensary in the community.

Weeds Glass and Gifts at 991 Marine Dr. had a “soft opening” in April, and now store co-owner Michael Wuest wants to provide medical marijuana to North

of stores in the Weeds Glass and Gifts chain headquartered in Vancouver and which sells medical marijuana in its shops across the water.

It’s a grey market in the

which only sells pot paraphernalia at this point and not the drug itself, is operating in the city without a business licence because it’s part of a compassion club.

The Marine Drive location is one of a string

Shore residents who he says are crossing the bridge to get prescription cannabis.

“Hopefully, we will be up and running soon — and not just to open and close, but to stay,”Wuest told the News on Monday.

Soccer donations stuck in Beirut airport TEREZA VERENCA reporter@nsnews.com

A West Vancouver barber known for equipping less fortunate kids with soccer gear is looking to raise $3,500 after his recent fundraising initiative hit a roadblock.

For more than two decades, Michel Ibrahim has been collecting donated jerseys, balls, shoes, nets – any kind of soccer paraphernalia – and sending the equipment to countries like Croatia, Vietnam and Turkey. His latest shipment, totalling 4,000 items and 1,600 pounds, was en route to his home country of Lebanon last month.

It was to be doled out to Syrian kids living in refugee camps.

The 50 boxes, which Air Canada paid to have shipped, arrived in Beirut on April 22.

Accused trail saboteur pleads not guilty

Health officer cites concerns From page 1

JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

Lawyers involved in case of alleged trail sabotage in the North Shore mountains are now preparing for up to a one-week trial, after the 64-year-old woman charged in the case apparently changed her mind about her plea.

At her last court date, April 29, lawyers for Tineke (Tina) Kraal indicated she will plead not guilty to the charge.

The move comes less than two weeks after Kraal said she would plead guilty in the case.

Defence lawyer Martin Peters confirmed Kraal had changed her mind, but refused to say why.

Kraal faces one charge of obstructing or interfering with District of North Vancouver trails in a way “likely to constitute mischief causing actual danger to life” between Jan. 5, 2013 to Jan. 4, 2015.

N. Van schools raise funds for Nepal earthquake relief Tragedy hits home for students who toured region before quake MARIA SPITALE-LEISK mspitale-leisk@nsnews.com

North Shore residents are coming to the aid of the Nepali people still reeling from the recent earthquake, through local fundraising campaigns this month.

Sutherland secondary social justice teacher Cynthia Bunbury has teamed up with her husband, Brian Sheffield, who teaches at Handsworth secondary, to spearhead Nepal fundraising events at their respective schools and in the community.

The couple has a personal connection to Nepal, having travelled there numerous times in recent years, including two trips with Sutherland students seeking a cultural experience.

Just last month, Bunbury and Sheffield led an expedition to Nepal with 24 students from Argyle, Sutherland, Handsworth and Howe Sound secondary schools.

The group returned to home soil within weeks of the 7.8-magnitude earthquake that struck Nepal on April 25.

“I was quite shattered

to find that so many of the people we have visited, worked with and had as staff were so deeply affected (by the earthquake),” Bunbury told the News this week.

After receiving word of the disaster, Bunbury and the students immediately sent messages by Facebook, email and text to find out if the friends they had recently made in Nepal were OK. “We have heard from most that they are safe, but many have lost homes, businesses, animals, and livelihoods,” said Bunbury.

“It will be a long time before they are back to normal.”

But not all of Bunbury’s Nepali friends escaped the earthquake unscathed. A

village she visited two years ago was completely wiped out by a huge avalanche triggered by the quake.

“No one survived; it is so sad to remember the lovely children we played with, the bakery where we ate such delicious pastries in such a remote location, and its owner, a very proud and successful Tibetan man. The kind hotel owners, the mothers sitting in the sun with their babies . . . all of them died,” said Bunbury.

City of Vancouver where medicinal pot dispensaries have been proliferating at such a fast pace that city officials are now looking at regulating and thereby legitimizing those businesses.

It is illegal to sell medical marijuana over the counter — under Health Canada regulations, patients are given dried buds by mail order from federally licensed growers — but so far the unsanctioned shops have continued to operate in Vancouver with little intervention from law enforcement.

According to Wuest, there are roadblocks for patients that take the regulated medicinal marijuana avenue, including having to register with the federal government.

“We basically know what conditions Health Canada issues licences for, and (in Vancouver) we cut to the chase,” said Wuest, adding that his customers are looking for relief from ailments ranging from chronic sleep issues to depression.

When asked about potential public health concerns should a pot dispensary open in the city, Dr. Mark Lysyshyn, medical health officer for the North Shore, said there are many.

“We suspect a lot of people who want recreational marijuana are obtaining it through these dispensaries,” said Lysyshyn.

There is also no quality control for the marijuana that could potentially be mouldy or contain pesticides, according to Lysyshyn.

Lysyshyn said he would support North Van city in developing marijuana dispensary regulations such as restricting the operating hours and limiting the distance of the businesses from schools.

When it comes to verifying their clients’ documentation, Wuest said Weeds is vigilant about that. “We obviously don’t sell to minors,” said Wuest.

“We need proof of ID before we even consider providing someone with cannabis or any of its products.”

However, just last week, Vancouver police raided a Weeds store in that city after it was alleged a 15year-old was hospitalized after consuming one of their edible products.

Wuest said he has heard conflicting stories about the age of the person who became sick and whether or

not the pot was sold at the store, adding the company is still investigating the incident.

Weeds wants to be as above board as possible, said Wuest, which is why he has approached the city for a licence.

City of North Vancouver spokesperson Connie Rabold confirmed Weeds has requested a business licence, but said it is for retail purposes, not dispensing medical marijuana.

While there is no category for medical pot dispensary permits right now, the subject is expected to go before city council in the weeks ahead, said Rabold, adding that this is the first formal request.

Four years ago a medical marijuana dispensary was attempted for Deep Cove but North Van district council put the kibosh on those plans after voting unanimously to ban dispensaries unless the federal government decides to regulate them.

Wuest said Weeds wants to contribute by paying taxes to the city and employing people in the community, which so far hasn’t welcomed the business with open arms.

“It took us a year to find a landlord that was willing to go with us,” said Wuest.

“Some of them just don’t want to have anything to do with cannabis at all.”

Coun. Rod Clark supports people using medicinal marijuana and goes one step further, saying Canada needs to go the way of Washington State and completely legalize marijuana.

“To me, marijuana is no big deal. So as far as I’m concerned, the sooner we go to legalization the better,” said Clark, adding it would need to be done in a studious fashion similar to the Washington State model.

Should Wuest start selling medicinal marijuana from his North Van storefront, it will be up to the RCMP to decide how they will enforce the law around controlled substances.

“All businesses in our communities are expected to operate within the law,” stated RCMP Federal Criminal Operations spokesperson Sgt. Laurie White, in an email. “Anyone violating the law may find themselves the subject of a criminal investigation and subsequently answering to the courts for their actions.”

Storage fees mounting daily From page 1 wouldn’t release the goods unless Ibrahim paid an additional $3,500 out of his own pocket, the barber explained.

“We told them this was for charity, that it was for kids, but they wouldn’t buy it. They just wanted me to pay it. I even offered them $600, but they wouldn’t accept it,” Ibrahim said, adding the airport is also charging him a daily $60 storage fee.

Air Canada confirmed to North Shore News that the shipment has been withheld. “For reasons not clear to us, the goods appear now to be withheld at Beirut Airport pending additional import payments by the consignee, which we are not able to assist with. Our commitment was strictly to transport the shipment,” wrote Angela Mah, Air Canada spokesperson, in an email.

Ibrahim said none of his shipments have ever sat in limbo like this. Possible reasons might be because he’s not a registered charity, he added.

“Last month I sent 1,400 pounds to Peru, no problem; 28 countries for the last 20 years, 17,000 kids and I haven’t had any problems, only this one.”

Ibrahim said he’s even insisted Beirut airport officials keep the donations, but they’ve told him he still needs the pay the $3,500. “It’s just breaking me,” he said tearfully.

Orange crush

S

hockingly, the sun still rose over the Alberta prairies this week. The four horsemen of the apocalypse didn’t ride into town on four strong winds. The earth still spun on its axis, albeit tilted slightly to the left.

But the NDP’s historic win in our neighbouring province, ending a 44-year reign of Conservatives, was indeed a very big deal.

For both politicians and pundits, the idea that the NDP would sweep Alberta was not so long ago as foreign an idea as waking up on the moon.

Alberta has essentially been under oneparty rule for so long, it’s been impossible to think of it in any other terms.

Rachel Notley’s stunning victory is a reminder that nothing is forever in politics and that pendulums do swing.

It was a long party for the Conservatives in Alberta, where oil wealth liberally greased the wheels of power.

What wasn’t to love? But eventually the old adage about “absolute power” caught up with the ruling Tories.

Voters became less inclined to overlook the scandals of their over-entitled leaders and the cynical manoeuvrings of those who sought to hold on to power.

Alberta itself also changed over those four decades — some politicians just didn’t know how much.

The entrails will be read for a long while on this week’s toppling of a political dynasty.

If nothing else, it’s a powerful reminder that voters still ultimately call the shots and politicians who take their support for granted do so at their peril.

Just take the No. 250 Utopia bus This may be a unique reason to vote against the big interests’ Metro transit plan: It doesn’t go far enough.

Universal rule: All transit systems stimulate the authorities’ Stalinism.

The business, bureaucratic, political, academic and union elites — the now and future car-driving class — treat transit riders like storewindow dummies. Here’s a wild entrepreneurial idea: Aim to attract riders. Not just move them a little faster, more frequently.

At no cost to the public, I offer 13 real innovations: 1. Plainly, more buses (and trains and SeaBuses) — but far more.

2. Every major artery in Metro with a dedicated bus lane. Some buses-only all day. Others only at peak hours.Yes, including the middle lane of the Lions

Trevor Lautens

This Just In

Gate Bridge. (If traffic through the twinned George Massey Tunnel can switch to three lanes at rush hours, anything is possible.)

3. Satellite bus centres, where riders can be driven or picked up near their homes.Think of our North Shore slopes where public transit is out of reach.Think cold, wet nights.Think women.Think the old, the

unsure of foot.Think!

4. A guaranteed seat for all.You read that right.

Otherwise, except for short rides, standees would pay half price. Allowing for a transition period, that would force TransLink to sit up and take notice, so to speak.

5: Much longer hours of operation. Overnight shouldn’t be impossible.

6:Ticket-punchers (cum security guards) on every bus. Drivers should be free to drive. Not distracted by freeloaders, drunks, rowdies or even change-offering, transfer-taking thee and me.

7: Now the buses.Their technology hasn’t changed in my lifetime.The 10-year transit plan may quickly become obsolete. (Robotics, perhaps?) Read on: 8. Individual heating/cooling vents for each rider.

9. Quick attach-release seat belts.

10. One or two toilets. If aircraft have them …

11. All this just basic sense.

Now for some innovation: All Metro buses doubledeckers.

12. Madly unconventional wisdom: Drink, by which I mean liquor, offered on the upper deck, what I think the English still call “outside” from the days when it really was outside. Smart! Natural draw for those who have imbibed (small joke) the wisdom of “If you drink, don’t drive.” Nothing like a (non-spillable) cocktail on the bus after a hard day of money-making to drop you off home cheerfullike.Where’s our vaunted salesmanship?

13. Some readers may have left in scornful disbelief.

Others, bold pioneers, will still be with me. Now the test. Stay for this one: Dedicated dog-and-owner

buses, serving dogpermitting parks.

Crazy, eh? Not at all.

Solid good sense. Observe the dogs hanging out of many a car window — again, especially on this shore. At present the only means of transporting your best friend to a place of exercising legs and bowels is by a ton or two of costly, air-fouling private motorized vehicle.

Think of the savings.Think of the happy socialization among dogs and owners.

Think, love could even bloom. Again, think!

Of course all of the above would cost far more than the mayors’ council’s paltry $7.5 billion. But the longterm returns would pay off socially, individually.

Objections? Off the top, from Vancouver’s taxis, a ridiculously protected species.The auto business likely wouldn’t clap hands.

Never mind.We’d still buy cars, but go back to the 1950s habit of keeping them in the garage for the family Sunday drive.

••• All praise for federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose, who had what has become the courage to say: “Once you legalize something, you normalize it.When you normalize it, the message is that it’s safe and marijuana is not safe for young people.”

Thus the rise to power of the young of 40-odd years ago, mesmerized by the likes of madman Timothy (“turn on, tune in, drop out”) Leary. Starting with the “medical marijuana” stalking-horse, pot is the thin edge of a huge, ultimately destructive wedge. Little See Faris page 10

VIEWPOINT

School trustees move onto front lines

It may be a tad premature for the B.C. government to pop the champagne bottles to celebrate its recent huge win in its long-running feud with the B.C.Teachers Federation.

While the B.C. Court of Appeal delivered a devastating setback to the union, there is a good chance the highest court in the country will hear the case and perhaps even render a different verdict.

The strongly worded appellate court ruling demolished the earlier judgment of B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin, faulting her for all kinds of legal errors. But it wasn’t an unanimous ruling, as one justice — Ian Donald — wrote a lengthy dissenting opinion.

That lone dissent may be enough for the Supreme Court of Canada to agree with the BCTF’s request for an appeal.That, and the high court’s recent interest in cases that involve collective bargaining issues.

And that is what this fight between the government and the union is all about: bargaining rights, and how far they extend.

A key point is this: once something is put into a government’s collective agreement with a public sector union, is it there forever if the union refuses to take it out?

That, in a nutshell, is where this long-running dispute originates. More than a decade ago, the B.C. Liberals removed language in its contract with the BCTF that determined class size limits and therefore how many teachers needed to be hired.

The language had been

Keith Baldrey

View from the Ledge

put there by the previous NDP government, and the BC Liberals government felt it should not be bound by what it considered to be a rigid, expensive system that didn’t work properly and was provided by the previous government as a gift for a union ally.

The union sued and won.The government tried a different tack, and brought in legislation aiming at fixing the problem, but Justice Griffin ruled it to be insincere and phony, and therefore a case of bad faith bargaining.

She ordered the old, stripped-out language to be restored to the contract (which came with a cost of at least $300 million a year), and the government had no choice but to appeal such an expensive ruling.

The Court of Appeal tossed Griffin’s judgment to the curb, and concluded the government had indeed bargained in good faith.

It also ruled that applying the retroactivity of that old contract language would not only be enormously expensive, but would also violate the provincial legislature’s constitutional responsibility when it came to allocating public

resources (in other words, tax dollars).

Now, the question may well be: if the Supreme Court of Canada hears the case, will it back the appellate judges, or will it agree with Griffin’s take on things?

The high court has recently made several rulings that significantly expand the scope of collective bargaining rights. It ruled the RCMP had a right to unionize, and it struck down a Saskatchewan law that restricted the right to strike.

And don’t forget that several years ago the court

overturned a B.C. Court of Appeal judgment and ruled the Hospital Employees Union did indeed have its constitutional rights violated by the B.C. government’s decision to rip up parts of its collective agreement.

The HEU case and the BCTF case both involve collective agreements and the issue of constitutional protection for bargaining rights. Given how the high court handled the first one, I wouldn’t rule out the BCTF’s chance for ultimate victory just yet (and don’t forget the Supreme Court of Canada also recently

overturned the B.C. Court of Appeal’s decision on aboriginal title).

But it could be two years before the Supreme Court of Canada rules on this, assuming it agrees to hear the case at all.

In the meantime, don’t look for peace to be restored to the province’s education system.While the BCTF has been sent reeling, it will be school trustees who will now move onto the front lines as they deal with funding issues with the provincial government.

A Vancouver Sun survey has pegged the total funding

“shortfall” for school board budgets at $73 million and counting.There appears to be little chance for many school boards to avoid layoffs of teachers, maintenance staff and administrators.

The Court of Appeal ruling may have taken the wind out of the BCTF’s sails, but things will be far from smooth sailing in the education system for quite a while to come. It’s no time for champagne toasts.

It’s a chance for Filipinos to pay it forward to countries worldwide that came to their assistance after the deadly Typhoon Haiyan in 2013, says Alvin Koh Relleve, director of the Metro Vancouver Philippine Arts & Cultural Exposition Society.

“This is one way of giving back the generosity that was afforded to us when the Philippines was in need during that calamity,” said Koh Relleve. “I understand the devastation in Nepal is much worse.”

North Van resident Elizabeth Leboe has been anxiously waiting for the latest news from Kathmandu, where she, along with her husband Len, operates Jackets for Jasper — a family-run enterprise that employs

Nepal fundraising events:

Here is a rundown of numerous Nepal fundraising events that are ongoing in North Vancouver until May 25 — the federal government’s cutoff date for matching Nepal relief contributions to registered Canadian charities: May 9 — a Nepal information and donation table at Lonsdale Quay Farmers’ Market all day.

May 15 — a Nepal relief telethon, “Bangon Kathmandu,” will be held at the Barangay North Vancouver Filipino Community Centre. Donations can be made from 5-10 p.m. by calling either 604-773-6641 or 604-783-1272.

May 16 — grocery bag packing by donation at Real Canadian Superstore (333 Seymour Blvd.) from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

May 23 — “Digging Deep” family concert at Sutherland secondary from 7-11 p.m., featuring North Shore Celtic Ensemble, Mark James Fortin Trio and other performers.

There will be a no host bar and appetizers at the event.

Entry is by donation (min. $10) and children under age 12 are free. For information, donations or to book your table, email:bsheffield@sd44.ca.

Ongoing fundraising events for Nepal: Jackets for Jasper, run by a North Vancouver couple, supports families in Nepal. To donate to their fundraising campaign, go online to jacketsforjasper.com/products/j4jearthquake-donate.

Victoria Burritt is a North Van resident currently in Kathmandu with the Youth with a Mission church group, based in Hawaii. The organization has started a fundraising campaign — gofundme.com/nepalneighbors — to assist families in one Nepal neighbourhood where homes are completely destroyed, there is no running water and children barely have anything to eat.

and supports local families.

Leboe imports the jackets, and money from the business pays for the education of two Nepali children. Jasper, the namesake of the operation, and his family were forced to move out of their damaged building and into

a new place where the rent is exorbitant, said Leboe, who has sent the family emergency funds.

“It is raining, to add insult to injury — and the monsoon is coming,” said Leboe. “I don’t know how this country is ever going to recover from this.”

INQUIRING REPORTER If there’s one business that’s really taken off in the past couple years it’s medical marijuana dispensaries. In some areas these businesses appear to almost sprout up overnight, offering clients with physician-prescribed cards a variety of cannabis products for purchase. As popularity for the green stuff continues to grow, one North Vancouver business is shopping around the idea of opening the first dispensary on the North Shore. So we asked: Would you support a marijuana dispensary on the North Shore? What do you think? Weigh in at -,-#*,' &1/. ( $".!, %0)+#.

Sigmund Fehlauer North Vancouver “Not really.They open them up in the stupidest spots, like near schools and stuff like that where they shouldn’t be.

It should be somewhere where kids can’t be around it.”

Would you support a marijuana dispensary on the North Shore?

Dan Davies North Vancouver “Yes. I think it’ll help people.”

Ron Ross North Vancouver “I believe there’s definitely a place for it in the health-care system.”

Holly Becker North Vancouver “I’m not supportive.

Smoking it can activate your schizophrenia gene.”

Peter Warmerdam North Vancouver “Yeah. Everything kind of seems to be swinging that way.”

Biosolids used safely as fertilizer Dear Editor: Re: Something Smelly About Sewage Rules, May 3 Mailbox I would like to take the opportunity to clear up some misconceptions around biosolids and how they are used throughout B.C. In B.C., biosolids can only be applied to the land when there is a benefit.

Companies cannot apply biosolids to the land as simply a means of disposal.

Biosolids are used as compost or fertilizer on land.The nutrients in the biosolids make soils healthier, similar to animal manure.

In B.C., “biosolids” and “sludge” do not mean the same thing, as regulations do not allow the land application of sludge. Sludge is material generated during

the wastewater treatment process before any beneficial use is met. Biosolids are sufficiently treated to reduce odours and harmful substances, stabilized, and tested to ensure treatment requirements and quality criteria are met. Biosolids not used as fertilizer are sent to a landfill, contributing to methane production, increased greenhouse gases and increased costs to landfills.

Regulation of biosolids falls under the Organic Matter Recycling Regulation, which is designed to protect human health and the environment.

Biosolids have been applied safely to a variety of locations in the Nicola Valley — and around the province — for more than a decade.

Transit ballots roll in as deadline looms Mayors divided on plebiscite vote TEREZA VERENCA reporter@nsnews.com

Between 24 and 33 per cent of North Shore voters have returned their transit plebiscite ballot to Elections B.C. As of Wednesday, of the roughly 34,300 registered voters in the City of North Vancouver, 33 per cent have saidYes or No to the proposed tax hike, while its neighbouring districts fared lower. Of the 60,600 eligible voters in the District of North Vancouver, 29 per cent have cast a ballot, while participation for West Vancouver sits at 24 per cent.

The non-binding vote asks Metro Vancouver residents whether or not they approve a 0.5 per cent increase in the provincial sales tax (roughly $125 a year/household). The money raised would fund

the mayors’ transportation and transit plan, which would include building a subway along the Broadway corridor and the introduction of light rail in Surrey.

Despite being a strong proponent for the No side, West Vancouver Mayor Mike Smith told the North Shore News he’s surprised by the low voter turnout in his district.

He said he’s “still on the side of the common sense” and that giving TransLink more money is the wrong decision.

“You don’t have the right to put public money into an organization until you have the right business model for success.

Obviously, we don’t have that because nobody’s in charge of TransLink,” Smith explained of the often criticized corporation.

“How is building light rail in Surrey or a Broadway subway line helping congestion problems on the North Shore?”

Smith’s hope is that if the No side prevails, stakeholders like the mayors and the provincial

government, will have to sit down and come up with a new business model.

Unlike Smith, the City of North Vancouver’s mayor is pleased with voter turnout in his municipality, calling it “quite phenomenal.”

“I think it means more people are becoming aware of the (plebiscite), and they’re probably wanting to have their voices heard,” said Darrell Mussatto. “It’s really polarizing, though — some people are really upset about it.”

A proponent of theYes side, Mussatto called the vote a “critical defining moment” for the region.

“If it’s a No, I have no idea how we’re going to manage the transit congestion in the region.”

Latest figures show Elections B.C. has received more than 600,000 ballots, about 38 per cent of the 1.56 million voting packages mailed out to Metro Vancouver voters since March 16.

The deadline to request a voting package is May 15 while the deadline to submit the ballot is May 29.

Shakespeare’s Dark Lady

— A weekly gleaner of Internet sources and other media —

Some go as far as to say Shakespeare was a woman. Amelia Bassano Lanier to be exact — a converso (clandestine Jew) and the illegitimate daughter of an Italianborn, Elizabethan court musician. She lived the life, argues John Hudson in his new book, Shakespeare’s Dark Lady:Amelia Bassano Lanier:TheWoman Behind Shakespeare’s Plays? Experientially she was much more familiar with the content of the Bard’s plays than he was. Schooled in court life from a young age Bassano Lanier trumped anything Shakespeare’s Grade 6 education could muster. Evidence suggests thatThe Dark Lady may have been more than just a muse.

The Escape Artists tackle Shakespeare

Gender bender ■ The Escape Artists present Miss Shakespeare and J. Caesar in repertory until May 18 at Performance Works on Granville Island (tickets at ticketstonight.ca) and May 21-29 at Kay Meek Centre in West Vancouver (tickets at kaymeekcentre.com).There will be a free Artist’s Confidential session with Tracey Power on Thursday, May 14, 1:30 p.m. in the Welsh Hall at the West Vancouver Memorial Library.

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

Caroline Cave is no stranger to William Shakespeare.The North Vancouver actress has played Lady Macbeth in Macbeth and Rosalind in AsYou Like It (twice), but she never thought she’d get a chance to play the part she’s taken on most recently.

This month, Cave steps into the psyche of the infamous conspirator Brutus in the world premiere of J. Caesar, an all-female adaptation of the Bard’s political thriller Julius Caesar.

CINEMA SHOWTIMES ]<h7 !I

●

“I feel quite fortunate that I get to try my hand at it,” Cave says, noting many of the male colleagues she most admires have played Brutus.

Adapted by Vancouver-based theatre company The Escape Artists, the production features a cast of seven women (Caroline Cave, Medina Han, Amanda Lisman, Pippa Mackie, Susinn McFarlen, Erin Moon and Tracey Power), upending the gender conventions surrounding theatre in Elizabethan times when all roles, including female roles, would have been played by men.

Shakespeare’s text and iambic pentameter remain intact in this version, but the script has been cut back to a lean hour.

“It’s paired down to the basic elements of storytelling, the basic elements of the relationships between the characters,” Cave explains.

And rather than being set in ancient Rome, this political power struggle takes place in the future — 2415 to be exact — in a postapocalyptic world where women are in charge.

J. Caesar is playing in repertory with Miss Shakespeare, a new musical written by The

TRACKS SYMPOSIUM ]<h7 iP

●

Escape Artists’ co-founder Tracey Power and featuring the same seven-woman cast and the same director, James MacDonald. The story imagines Shakespeare’s youngest daughter, Judith, following in her father’s footsteps and writing plays in the 1600s when women were banned from the stage.

“It’s quite an inspiring story because it’s a story of a woman who’s innately and inherently an artist who’s unable to express her art,” says Cave, who plays Judith’s older and more conformist sister Susanna. “(Judith) breaks convention and she gets a group of women together in secret to start rehearsing plays.”

J. Caesar and Miss Shakespeare are tied together by their artistic crews and Shakespearean inspiration, but that’s where the likeness ends.

“They’re completely dissimilar in tone and feel and style,” Cave says. Miss Shakespeare is billed as a “saucy” musical with a score influenced by underground European cabaret while J. Caesar, like its original source, is a

Life’s better here “I’ve never been so busy in my entire life.”

Dorothy, a PARC resident, has never felt so energized. She attends exercise classes three times a week, plays Bingo and goes to the casino. Her favourite pastime? The weekly afternoon card game she plays with two other residents. With Dorothy’s social life in full swing and her non-stop smile, it seems she’s hit the jackpot with PARC Retirement Living.

But that’s how it is at PARC Retirement Living communities.

Residents get involved. They stay active. And pursue passions.

They eat healthier and laugh more. Life’s just better here.

THEATRE

TRACKS serves up a cultural feast Symposium uses art history to develop national dialogues ■ TRACKS: 7th Canadian Community Play and Arts Symposium. For more information visit trackssymposium.com.

CHRIS SLATER reporter@nsnews.com

It’s all about using art to interpret history, creating dialogue and addressing the cultural differences among Canada’s indigenous and non-indigenous people through art.

That’s just one of the goals of the 7thTRACKS Symposium and second hosted outside of Ontario, which kicks off inVancouver May 10.

“It’s about bringing artists together to utilize the language of art, to promote and develop dialogues on the history of Canada, on the history of First Nations and non-natives,” says Renae Morriseau, NorthVancouver resident and member of the Arts Symposium Steering Committee. Morriseau, who is Cree and Saulteaux First Nations originally from Manitoba, used to work as a social worker in Winnipeg before moving to NorthVancouver in the 1990’s. During her time inVancouver Morriseau became actively involved withVancouver Moving Theatre, which is one of the companies taking part in this year’s symposium.

For three days between May 10 and 12 the symposium will be in Vancouver, offering various events ranging from theatre to dance to artistic works, all with a focus on retelling history and creating

understanding through artworks created by both indigenous and nonindigenous artists. Following that the symposium moves to its rural location in Enderby near Salmon Arm for another three days, between May 13 and 15.

Among this year’s line up is a cultural feast called The Big House, hosted by Vancouver MovingTheatre Company and created in collaboration with various local organizations along with Toronto’s JumbliesTheatre.

The Big House aims at bringing together indigenous and non-indigenous people and artists to break bread and create discussion and understanding.There will be an afternoon of film, examining communityengaged art practices.This year’s symposium will also see the launch ofTrain of Thought, a month-long train journey across Canada that makes stops at over 20 communities along the way exploring the different community-engaged arts in each. There will also be extensive exchanges of dialogue between many various delegates that will be attending the symposium, including community play producers, cultural thinkers, academics and educators, arts managers and community members, both indigenous and nonindigenous.

The lineup this year will also include some visual art works, created using natural mediums like wood and fibre.

Another one of the goals of the symposium is creating networking among artists of

“There’s a lot of opportunities for networking, to look at how art is looking at these ideas of what they call, colonizers, point of view in trying to inform history and how history was interpreted and how art is being able to be utilized as a mechanism for change,” explains Morriseau, who said any artist, whether indigenous or nonindigenous is welcome to attend.

Morriseau says that through collaborated art projects, groups of differing cultural backgrounds can work together and create understandings as a way of learning from mistakes made in the past and helping See Symposium page 35

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to FASHION & STYLE

Fashion fiesta supports a cause

n Your Sunday Best: A Fashion Fiesta Fundraiser in Support of Camp Kerry, Sunday, May 24, 6-9 p.m. at the Pipe Shop, 115Victory ShipWay, NorthVancouver.Tickets available in advance ($15) at picatic.com/campkerry, Joy Hair Studio and Unity Clothing; $20 at the door.

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

The historic Pipe Shop on the NorthVancouver waterfront will soon open its doors to fashionistas and philanthropists for a runway show in the name of a good cause.

Proceeds fromYour Sunday Best: A Fashion Fiesta Fundraiser on May 24 will support the Camp Kerry Society, a registered charity that organizes bereavement retreats for youth and families grieving the death of a loved one. Launched in 2007 and named for West Vancouver resident Kerry Kirstiuk, who died of cancer in 2006 leaving behind her husband and two young children, Camp Kerry also offers year-round education, support and counselling services to those who have experienced loss or are coping with a life-threatening illness in the family.

The upcoming fashion fundraiser has been spearheaded by Tara Main, owner of Joy Hair Studio in the Lonsdale Quay Market. Her salon has a philanthropic mandate and donates partial proceeds to community initiatives and charities.

“I lost my father at a young age and I wish that there was something like (Camp Kerry) around that

Joy opened in 2013 with the help of a grant from the Pacific Bipolar Foundation.

It continues to raise money for the foundation, but also donates to other causes

that clients and staff are passionate about.

“We really don’t say no to any donation request,” says Main.

One of her regular salon customers is Jennifer Ellis, who works with Camp Kerry and is helping to organize the May 24 fashion show.

Ellis says money raised at the event will help send families on a bereavement retreat in September.

“It’s over $75,000 to take all the families to camp, so

that’s their largest expense of the year,” Ellis says.There is no cost to participants.

The runway presentation will showcase the hottest women’s, men’s and children’s trends for spring and summer 2015. Unity Clothing, GardenWorks (which carries the Gilmour and Toad&Co. clothing lines) and Kerry’s Boutique — a New Westminster thrift store and social enterprise that raises money for Camp Kerry — will all be decking

out models in the latest looks.

Meanwhile, the salon team at Joy will complement each model’s ensemble with a stylish ’do. Main says pastels, such as smoky amethyst and light orchid, as well as silver and blonde are all sought after hair colours this season.

“When it comes to styling, we’ll be doing a lot of tousled hair,” she adds.

psychological drama.

Since Shakespeare’s day, the theatre world has advanced leaps and bounds on the gender equity front, but Cave says there is still a bias toward writing for the

male story and that means less opportunity for female performers.

“I guess it’s so inherently understood by myself and all my female colleagues there are just fewer roles for us that it’s not even a topic of

conversation anymore,” she says.

“There are way fewer opportunities for really meaty, good roles — as we hear all of Hollywood discussing — there are way fewer opportunities for leading female roles.

It’s still the white, middleclass male story that predominates.”

The Escape Artists react to this reality with their new duo of plays, re-interpreting Shakespeare with female talent at the forefront. And Cave

ensures viewers needn’t be familiar with the Bard’s canon to appreciate these gender-redefining performances.

“I think they’re both very moving, emotionally engaging, visceral experiences,” she says.

DANCE

Revisiting a revolutionary moment

Ballet BC presents two world premieres on RITE weekend ■ RITE, presented by Ballet BC, tonight and Saturday (May 8-9), at Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Theatre at 8 p.m. Tickets: $30-$80, visit balletbc.com.

ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com

Ballet BC is capping off its current season with a performance showcasing two world premieres offering unique takes on a classic 1913 work for ballet and orchestra, the lasting impact of which is still being felt today.

Presented at the Théâtre des ChampsÉlysées in Paris, the opening night of Russian composer Igor Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring for Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes almost resulted in a riot due to the boundarypushing nature of the work.

The Vancouver-based professional dance company’s RITE is revisiting the revolutionary piece, which featured choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky, using it as a source of inspiration.

The production opened last night and will be presented again tonight and tomorrow evening at Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Theatre.

One of RITE’s world premieres marks the return of San Fulgencio, Spain’s Gustavo Ramirez Sansano.

Ballet BC performed the Spanish choreographer’s Lost and Seek, also a world premiere, in April 2014.

Sansano previously served as artistic director of the Luna Negra Dance Theater, and examples of companies he’s choreographed for include Compañia Nacional de See Piece page 32

Piece focuses on universal awakening

From page 30

Danza, Hamburg Ballet, Budapest Dance Theatre and Netherlands Dance Theater.

In 2006, he founded Proyecto Titoyaya, based in Valencia, Spain, and continues to create works for them.

“It’s a wonderful place to do anything that comes through my mind that I might not be able to do in other companies because each company has its own audience. With this company I have total freedom,” he says.

While he’s being increasingly called upon by dance organizations around the world, opportunities he’s incredibly grateful for, Ballet B.C. is the first Canadian company to commission his work.

“I’m really happy that it’s with Ballet BC,” says Sansano. “Canada, British Columbia, is really lucky to have such a creative and innovative company.”

Sansano has been enjoying working with the

dancers for the second time.

“It’s been really, really nice because most of the company I knew from the last piece that I did last

year. So when I came to do The Rite of Spring, it’s kind of like I already had something in my mind related to the dancers that I already knew,” he says.

Sansano’s work is for the full company is both physically and mentally challenging.

“On top of that, I’m using the original music of

The Rite of Spring, which is really complicated music to choreograph and to dance. So both sides, the dancers and I, we’ve been through a whole process of adjusting and getting used to this really rich and complicated music,” he says.

Sansano set out to offer a 21st century perspective of the revolutionary work.

“It’s not updating because it was bad and what we are doing now is good, it’s just a little update. . . . It’s a different time period and it’s a new approach,” he says.

His version focuses on “universal awakening.”

“Sex symbolizes this period in your life where you start to question everything. . . . It’s a real period of changes,” he says.

The work depicts the discovery of sex, intended as a metaphor of the period in one’s life where he or she changes from a child to an adult.

“When you face this moment, we all react differently. It depends

on our personality,” says Sansano.

The second world premiere on RITE’s bill was choreographed

by Ballet B.C.’s artistic director, Emily Molnar, and features set design

by Vancouver designer Omer Arbel. The creative director of Bocci, Arbel recently received the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada’s Allied Arts Medal for 2015. An additional collaborator on the piece is Jeremy Schmidt, of the band Black Mountain.

Their work is described as a “hallucinatory, otherworldly homage to Stravinsky’s provocative” work.

Reached Tuesday, Sansano says they were looking forward to this week’s premiere after successful rehearsals to date.

“We are in a good place. We are in that moment where all the information (has been shared), so the dancers just need to digest it and explode,” he says.

Planning for a Shared Waterway We won’t be the only users of the waterways around Squamish, and we want to reduce our impact on marine-based recreational activities as much as possible. With the help of the District of Squamish, and local marine-based businesses and associations, we’ll develop a Squamish Harbour Vessel Traffic Plan to ensure the safe shared use of the waterway.

Solid Safety Record Did you know that in more than 50 years of LNG being shipped around the world, there has never been a recorded incident involving a loss of containment of an LNG carrier at sea? We intend to maintain this record. With the help of complex containment systems and double-hull protection on every LNG carrier, we’ll meet rigorous Canadian and international standards and regulations.

I M P O R TA N T TO YO U. I M P O R TA N T TO U S .

Building a project that’s right for Squamish means building a project that’s safe.

The outdoors is a big part of living in Squamish, and having Howe Sound on your doorstep means a lot of time on the water. At Woodfibre LNG, safety is our number one priority. That means working closely with the community to ensure that everyone can

Proven Expertise Should our project go ahead, just three to four carriers will arrive at the Woodfibre site each month, keeping the impact on marine traffic to a minimum. LNG carriers will travel along existing commercial shipping lanes, and will be escorted by at least three tug boats. The carriers will also be piloted by two BC Coast Pilots – marine experts who know our coast best.

safely enjoy the water, whenever they want.

Respecting Recreational Water Users

Building a project that’s right for Squamish.

That’s our number one priority. woodfibrelng.ca

For us, being a good neighbour means respecting fellow users of the waterways. LNG carriers for our project will maneuver at about 8 to 10 knots in Howe Sound. In normal conditions, the wake generated by an LNG carrier traveling at this speed would be less than 10 centimetres, 50 metres away from the carrier. This is less than the wind-generated waves typically encountered in the Sound.

2015 Audi Q3

Audi Q3 has a little SUV flair

David Chao

Behind the Wheel While the Q3 is actually not new to Audi lineup — it’s been available in Europe for some time — it’s new for the North American segment and it’s already becoming a hot seller.

Like similar offerings from its competitors, the BMW X1 and the Mercedes-Benz GLA, the Audi Q3 offers buyers an affordable option to bring home a five-passenger luxury compact SUV. The Range Rover Evoque is another competitor that’s a bit more expensive but it’s also one of the most unique vehicles in this segment.

Despite being the smallest and most economical SUV in Audi’s lineup, the Q3 is still worthy of the badge with quality fit and finish, sporty road manners, and excellent performance overall.

Design The all-new Q3 has a lot in common with a number of its stablemates in the VW family. It uses the same

Similar to its larger siblings such as the Q5 and Q7, the Q3 shows off rounded lines and an athletic stance. Parked side by side with a Q5, the family resemblance is exceptionally strong.

The Q3 is just 10 inches shorter and the roof is a few inches lower.

Distinctive features up front are the single-frame grille framed by xenon

headlights with LED daytime running lights.

Aluminium trim outlines the Q3’s side windows.

The rear hatch gently slopes from the small spoiler, to standard LED taillights, and finishes with sporty dual exhaust outlets.

Inside, the cabin is understated and sophisticated. Despite being roughly the same size as a Volkswagen Golf, the Q3 offers more interior space and feels more airy and comfortable.

Performance Driving the Q3, you don’t sit as high as you do in a full-size SUV, but it still offers an excellent view over the traffic. Also, its compact dimensions and light steering make is easier to manoeuvre around town.

The Q3 is also a great highway vehicle — even at high speeds, the cabin is so well insulated that you don’t hear much wind, road or engine noise. This is what gives the Q3 a truly premium feel.

All Q3’s are powered by Audi’s 2.0-litre inline four cylinder engine. It is direct injected and turbocharged allowing it to produce 200 horsepower and an impressive 207 footpounds of torque. With those stats it can sprint to 100 kilometres per hour in just 8.2 seconds and on to a top speed of 209 km/h.

Managing gear changes in all models is a six-speed automatic transmission.

Wetmore Motors Experience Matters

Dynamic Shift Program makes it possible for fast gear changes that do not affect power delivery, making the ride smoother.

The Q3 is available in two drivetrains. Base models are front-wheel drive and Audi’s trademark quattro all-wheel drive system is of course available. The quattro permanent drive system provides superior traction in slippery conditions and also improves grip on dry roads, enhancing driving pleasure.

Even with an AWD, the Q3 isn’t a true off-roader, though it can handle a gravel and rough road with some ease.

Q3 doesn’t exhibit much body roll and remains fairly flat. In fact, it’s one of the sportiest compact SUVs in this market and boasts a great road feel.

Environment The Q3 features Audi’s new open design, which is attractive and brings a feeling of high quality. It also boasts many premium features as standard equipment, such as the contoured and heated 12-way power front seats, making it very well equipped even in basic trim.

Anyone familiar with modern Audis will feel at home in the Q3. The buttons that control the infotainment system and optional navigation have been moved to the centre of the dash for better ergonomics.

The Q3 also offers a surprising amount of practicality as well.

The glove box is large and cooled by the air conditioning and the side door bins, both front and rear, are massive.

Passengers in the rear are also afforded plenty of space. Legroom for adults is improved thanks to the sculpting of the front-seat backs, and also they are raised offering more room for feet.

As for cargo space, it’s also fairly decent.

The square opening aids loading and the minimal lip and scuff plate ease unloading.

Audi Q3 competes against some head-turning rivals From page 42 Features The Q3 is available in two trim levels with the FWD Progressiv starting at $35,800 ranging up to the quattro Technik priced at $40,900.

Standard equipment includes automatic selfadjusting headlights, rainsensing wipers, panoramic glass roof, leather seating surfaces, heated front seats, heated exterior mirrors, and Bluetooth connectivity.

Additional features, available as options or on higher trims, include power exterior mirrors with auto dimming, power tailgate, Bose surround sound system, and parking aids with rearview camera.

Fuel efficiency numbers (litres/100 kilometres) in FWD models are 12.0 city, 7.7 highway, and 10.0 combined. Quattro models return 11.9 city, 8.4 highway for 10.3 combined.

Thumbs up The Q3 may be considered an entry-level

Audi, but it still offers an impressive array of luxury features and performance for the money.

Thumbs down While the Q3 looks modern, it doesn’t turn heads like some of its rivals.

Also, the ride is sporty but can be a bit harsh and bumpy.

The bottom line If you are looking for a compact luxury SUV that does everything well with a flair and elegance, the Q3 is the car to consider.

Competitors BMW X1 Like all vehicles in BMW’s lineup, the X1 has a performance-meetsluxury persona. Only available in all-wheel drive, the X1’s dynamic handling sets it apart from its rivals.

It’s getting old in design, however, and it’s slated for a redesign later this year.

Available in two trim levels, the X1 xDrive28i starts at $36,990, and the X1 xDrive35i is priced at $39,990.

Mercedes-Benz GLA The recently released GLA shares the same underpinnings and engines as the CLA sedan.

Therefore, it rides closer to the ground than its competitors. The feel is not as premium but the design is outstanding.

The base GLA 250 starts at $37,200, while the 355 h.p. GLA 45 AMG begins at $50,500.

The Evoque has eyecatching styling, a timeless, British luxury interior, and true off-road capability.

The Range Rover also offers exclusivity for those wanting to stand out from the crowd. The prices can get high with options added, however.

Prices for the Evoque start at $47,695 and span up to $64,595, including a segment-exclusive coupe.
