Trash castle cleanup ordered Panorama Dr. property owners told to clear 20 years of debris CHRIS SLATER reporter@nsnews.com

The District of North Vancouver has told the owners of a Deep Cove property chock-full of junk: Clean up your property or we’ll do it for you and bill you for the trouble. The property at 2755 Panorama Dr., owned by Charles (Chuck) and Constance Band, has been the subject of numerous complaints over the last 20 years because of debris strewn about the area,

yard cars, and heaps of construction materials and derelict industrial equipment. The home has also undergone renovations without building or development permits, adding to the concerns of neighbours. Neighbour and geologist Kristian Whitehead said the junk has prevented him from completing the survey work necessary to put in a new retaining wall on his own steep property, as the current one is badly in need of replacement. “The big thing with this particular property is that risk has pronounced over time and we can’t wait any longer for the things that are occurring,” he said. “So as of today I am unable to go forward with the

replacement of my wall. I have significant risk to the property and environment.” Neighbour Margie Goodman, who lives across the street on the downsloping land, expressed her concerns of potential flooding and debris flow during the winter months and the dangers associated with the property across from her. She expressed anger to council on the amount of time she said it has taken them to resolve the issues thus far, let alone the six months of additional time the homeowners will be granted to complete renovations after obtaining permits, which must be no later than July 30 according to a letter sent to the Band residence in April.

District grabs 10th spot as best place to live JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

The North Shore is one of the best places to live in Canada — provided you can afford it. That’s the verdict from MoneySense magazine, which this week named the District of North Vancouver one of the top 10 cities to live in Canada. Low unemployment, low taxes and a low crime rate combined with a high household income and

strong arts and sports community combined to push North Vancouver into ninth spot on the magazine’s annual “Best Places to Live” list. The District of North Vancouver is the only Lower Mainland community to make the top 10. But West Vancouver — which came in at the 11th spot — wasn’t far behind, buoyed by similarly appealing characteristics of high incomes, low taxes and low crime. There’s a catch, of

course. The districts of West Vancouver and North Vancouver also ranked number one and two respectively of the richest places in the country, with average net worth of $3.5 million in West Vancouver and $1.15 million in the District of North Vancouver — much of that likely linked to the high value of real estate here.

Saxton testifies at Duffy trial

MP queried about luncheon during suspended senator’s expensed trip toVancouver JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

NorthVancouver MP Andrew Saxton and his father, aVancouver businessman, both testiﬁed this week at the Ottawa trial of suspended senator Mike Duffy, who has pleaded not guilty to 31 charges of fraud,

breach of trust and bribery related to a Senate expense scandal. Both Saxton and his father, Andrew Saxton Sr., testiﬁed about a lunch meeting between Duffy and several of the Saxtons’ business friends at the Royal VancouverYacht Club on Jan 3, 2011. The two-hour meeting

was recorded by Duffy as the only ofﬁcial Senate business during a six-day trip to B.C. between Dec. 30, 2011 and Jan. 4, 2012, which was otherwise spent with his family. Duffy submitted an expense claim of almost $4,500 for the trip. The Saxtons were among several witnesses called this week as Crown lawyers probed the extent to which Duffy’s travel expenses could be related to legitimate Senate business versus personal travel on the taxpayers’ dime. Crown prosecutors have

accused Duffy of ﬁling travel expense claims for trips that weren’t related to parliamentary work. According to testimony Wednesday from Andrew Saxton Jr. and Sr., the lunch at the yacht club — attended by four business friends — was set up at Duffy’s request. Saxton described the meeting as a pre-budget consultation but couldn’t recall speciﬁc items discussed that eventually made it into the budget. He said no notes were taken because the venue was

a private club where people weren’t supposed to bring out work papers. Duffy’s calendar also contained an entry for a meeting with Saxton at The Keg restaurant the night before, for which he submitted a $400 expense claim. Saxton testiﬁed he didn’t recall that meeting. Two years later, when he was already embroiled in the Senate expense scandal, Duffy sent an email to the elder Saxton, recalling the “great luncheon at your club” and describing it as “one of the highlights of my

(now interrupted) Senate career.” In the email, Duffy referred to the RCMP investigation, saying he was hoping “the entire thing will be declared political and be allowed to slip away. “I am hopeful that this will all resolve itself soon, and I will be able to return to the Senate,” Duffy wrote. The elder Saxton said he didn’t reply to the email because he didn’t want to get involved.The trial is continuing in Ottawa. – with ﬁles from the Victoria Times Colonist

Cougar sighted near Cap University JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

Another cougar has been spotted on North Vancouver trails — this time in the area north of Capilano University. The big cat was spotted by a woman at the nearby North Shore Equestrian Centre on Lillooet Road around 8:30 p.m.Tuesday. The woman was coming out of a barn with a horse, said conservation ofﬁcer Robin Sano, when she rounded a corner and came face to face with a cougar coming out of some blackberry bushes at the back of stable property. “She went back in the barn,” he said. “The cougar

ran up the hill.” Sano said he went to the property on Wednesday and found cougar tracks, conﬁrming the sighting. But he added the cougar appeared to have turned around when it saw the woman. “There was no predator behaviour, no stalking,” he said. “It’s completely normal for (a cougar) to be in that area.” A patrol of nearby trails by RCMP ofﬁcers Tuesday evening didn’t turn up any further signs of the cougar, although warning signs were posted at Capilano University as a precaution. The cougar sighting this week is the latest in a rash of recent sightings of the

normally elusive animals on the North Shore. In a couple of cases, people reported that cougars were approaching people and were not easily scared off. More recently, conservations ofﬁcers shot and killed a cougar that had been prowling a Lower Capilano neighbourhood near Park Royal in West Vancouver. In that case, ofﬁcers deemed the big cat a potential danger after it was spotted on a number of balconies and patios in the middle of the day. Sano said he’s not sure why cougar sightings are up this year. Good weather could mean more people have been out on the trails, where they’d be more likely

to be spotted, he said. Some of the unconﬁrmed sightings may not even be cougars, he added. “Some of it can be people being paranoid. If there’s a report on the news, then every orange cat you see or squirrel, it’s a cougar. We’ve had people call in and say it’s a cougar and it’s a raccoon or a Labrador dog.” Hikers heading into cougar territory should travel in groups, carry a walking stick and make enough noise to ensure they don’t surprise a cougar, said Sano, who added it’s important to keep in mind that cougar attacks on humans are rare. “Bees kill way more people than cougars ever have or ever will.”

It’s the underground lair from which uniformed heroes emerge to rescue those in peril and it’s officially open for business. Paramedics, other first responders and dignitaries gathered at the brand new North Vancouver ambulance station nestled under the HOpe Centre at Lions Gate Hospital Tuesday to hold its official opening and to honour the memory of its former unit commander, Tim Jones. “It was Tim’s vision that he would leave the people of North Vancouver with this legacy and, as always, he did not let us down,” said Miles Randell, a B.C. Ambulance Service paramedic and North Shore Rescue volunteer. In remembrance of Jones, who was perhaps better known for his penchant to drop what he was doing and charge into the backcountry to lead North Shore Rescue missions, the station is adorned with a plaque and panoramic photo taken from Mount Seymour, atop what is unofficially known as Tim Jones Peak. “It’s our window from where Tim sits often … and we feel his presence still inspiring us,” Randell said. Jones died of a heart attack while training on Seymour in January 2014. BC Emergency Health

Services, the City of North Vancouver, and the province all contributed to the station. Unit chief Jane Munro said the station is be a big improvement over the former one — an old house across St. Andrews Avenue where the ambulances were left out in the elements. “The ambulances would be very cold parked outside the winter and very hot in the summer. It was hard to keep the ambulances and station clean and dry and everybody knows I like it to be clean — sterile,” she said. The purpose-built 8,866-square foot station and crew quarters is a more conducive, quiet place for the paramedics to debrief, complete paperwork between calls and study to enhance their skills, Munro said. Health Minister Terry Lake praised the paramedics at the station for being on the front line of the health care system. “It’s not about just transporting people to the hospital. It’s actually sending the emergency room to the patient. That is so critical and it truly is life saving,” he said. In 2014/15, North Vancouver’s paramedics responded to more than 9,500 9-1-1 calls and completed 1,713 patient transfers according to numbers from the BC Emergency Health Services.

I want a review of that policy and that process.” Coun. Roger Bassam expressed urgency on making sure the situation is resolved in a timely matter.

“How about us? How about our homes, our lives, our children? My grandchildren live with me. That sucker could come down and totally wipe us all out,” she said. Coun. Lisa Muri requested that council look into reviewing current policies in place for dealing with properties in this condition. “I’d like to apologize to the neighbourhood as a

I think in this situation here, we need to use every available tool to ensure this happens as quickly as possible,” said Bassam. In the end, council voted unanimously in favour of seeking a remedial action order for the property owners to clean up the debris in their yard. The homeowners have until July 15 to completely

remove all debris from their property before the district takes action in the removal process and bills the homeowners for it. Although not directly related to the remedial action order approved Monday, the homeowners must also apply for both a building permit and a development permit no later than June 15. Charles Band did not respond when contacted for comment on the remedial action order.

Wild at heart

roximity to the mountains and hiking trails is one of the reasons people prize living on the North

Shore. Our natural spaces calm and refresh us. So sometimes it’s easy to forget that wilderness is still that — wild. Recent cougar sightings have been a pointed reminder. But hardly a reason to be worried. When you live on the edge of the forest, the presence of wildlife shouldn’t be unexpected. Conservation ofﬁcers aren’t even certain that all the recent sightings have actually been of cougars. If they are becoming more common, however, it’s important to realize that says as much about us as it does about the cougars. It reminds us that we’ve decided to build and live in their habitat. That when

we head out on the trails, we’re the ones increasingly heading into woods that they’ve always called home. And that when we’re careless with our own garbage, we create food sources that draw these animals away from their normal habits. That — as the unfortunate recent shooting of the cougar in West Vancouver showed — is more likely to have a bad result for the cougar than for us. Aside from the now-getting-old jokes about human “cougars” on the North Shore, these animals have always been part of this area. It’s ﬁne to be alert in the woods. But that’s no reason to hit the panic button. If anything, we should celebrate — and be reassured — that wildlife still roams our natural spaces, whether or not we actually have a close encounter with it.

Premier’s dark side slowly emerging Christy Clark is becoming nasty, vengeful and selfpardoning in her old age. Such a nice lady, too. On camera, anyway. Beaming smile. Can’t imagine her using the f-adjective describing the federal cabinet, as Green Party leader Elizabeth May — another big smiler, gleaming like a 1952 Cadillac grille — did at what she curiously thought was just a genial, after-work private gathering. Private? Completely surrounded by the Ottawa press corps? But back to Da Preema. Chivalry aside — and the undersigned proudly, nay, deﬁantly, belongs to the last age of chivalry (before they blunted our lances) — the premier’s dark side emerged soon after her May 2013 election victory. Local angle: As the election approached, Clark

shrewdly created a new cabinet post — minister of seniors — and plucked from her back bench a bona-ﬁde senior to ﬁll it: Ralph Sultan, legislative member for West Vancouver-Capilano. A bold stroke. Sultan has more academic credentials than Rachel Notley’s fresh Alberta cabinet — in front of which, I place no f-adjective. (Never mind, didn’t W.A.C.

CONTACTUS

Bennett’s first Social Credit cabinet boast only one university graduate? And look what it did.) Sultan’s credentials would fill this page. Highlights: Harvard grad and professor. Years as chief economist of the Royal Bank of Canada. Hands-on real business experience. No wonder Gordon Campbell didn’t make him — obvious choice — finance minister. Let a man like that at the books, and you never know what mischief might follow. Clark’s brilliant stroke was a magnet for the old people’s vote. Nor did Sultan treat the job like a sinecure for loyal service. He campaigned hard. The rest is history.The Liberals won. Clark lost. In her own riding. So she felt around for an MLA who would take one for the team. Make way for her in a

byelection. Step down from a safe seat. And none safer than Sultan’s, heartland of comfy adherents of capitalism who adore socialist beneﬁts. (Like all of Middle Canada.) Sultan politely declined. One can imagine the smile fading from the premier’s dainty mouth. She canned Sultan, even scrapped his ministry. Politics. Cynical. But that was then. Clark evidently was just warming up. Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Rustad tipped George Abbott for leader of the B.C.Treaty Commission six months before the job came open, on April 1. Seemed a done deal. People tend to make plans. On March 18 Rustad informed Abbott it was no go. Abbott had been a respected Liberal minister. He’d run against Clark for party leader.This, he told

columnist Vaughn Palmer, left “deep memories of real or perceived hurts.”West Van’s Sultan had supported Abbott’s leadership bid. Coincidence? Richard Bullock was chairman of the Agricultural Land Commission — a profoundly important body. (Embarrassed confession: The undersigned stupidly railed against its creation by Dave Barrett’s New Democrats 42 years ago.) Bullock vigorously protected his turf, so to speak. Annoyed the Liberals, and shall we guess their friends? Bullock was dropped with just ﬁve months left in his mandate. Petty. There’s more.That funny, low-ball sale of public lands just before the 2013 election, yielding the arithmetic that balanced the budget, the buyer a great and good Liberal friend.The terrible,

VIEWPOINT

Foreign buyers debate lacks backup data Don’t look for the provincial government to offer any fixes to cool down the red-hot Metro Vancouver housing market any time soon, and that’s probably a good thing. That may come as a disappointment to many hoping to access that market, but government officials tell me they’ve studied the situation and have concluded there are limited options available, and even those are unlikely to have much impact. After taking a close look at things, officials have concluded the following: foreign buyers have had little impact on escalating market prices (with the exception of high-end properties), speculators have also had little impact, and the gradual decline in the number of single-family dwellings is more than anything else the biggest reason for skyrocketing housing prices. Emotions are running high on this issue, and I saw evidence of that a few days

Keith Baldrey

View from the Ledge ago on social media, after I posted on my Facebook page the information I had picked up.That posting unleashed an often heated discussion among 75 people, many of them journalists, realtors, developers, professionals of various sorts and all with strong opinions. In summary, there was little agreement on what just what, if anything, should be done by government (or by anyone else) and while there was plenty of anecdotes thrown around there was precious little data provided

to back up all kinds of assertions. Of particular interest was the reaction to the B.C. government’s conclusion that foreign buyers have had little impact on the housing market. This struck some as simply unbelievable, while others thought singling out foreign buyers was irrelevant, if not offensive. Certainly, a number of factors would support those who think foreign money is indeed contorting the Metro Vancouver housing market. For example, there is documented proof that huge amounts of money are leaving China right now.Veteran foreign affairs journalist Jonathan Manthorpe, in an excellent article posted in that Facebook discussion, points out various banking institutions suggest the cash exodus from that country could exceed $300 billion this year. Presumably, those Chinese investors would

view Metro Vancouver as an ideal place to park their money. After all, it is a desirable place to live and has a banking system that makes Canada a safe place for investments. Yet, the B.C. government insists it has found no evidence to support the theory about foreign investors igniting the market. Part of the problem here appears to be the lack of data, as no one seems to keep track of much of anything when it comes to housing sales, other than the price and the tax revenues for various levels of government.

But perhaps none of this matters anyways. Any kind of major government intervention (e.g. limiting foreign ownership, implementing some kind of speculation tax etc.) would probably be unworkable and in any event may do more harm than good (no one holding a $700,000 mortgage right now wants to see the builtup equity in their home start shrinking because of new rules or taxes). I have a number of friends who have recently purchased homes in Vancouver for well more than $1 million, and are

carrying huge mortgages. Should they (and presumably hundreds of others who have bought homes in the past few years) be penalized because they took a chance and got into the market? The distortions that are happening in the Metro Vancouver housing market seem to be the result of large sums of money moving around and a shifting difference between supply and demand (in other words, the kinds of things that can happen in the marketplace).

A No vote and pleased as punch Dear Editor: D.J. Stewart’s (May 27) letter claims that if we vote No on the non-binding transit plebiscite, we would have no right to call our politicians to account.The letter states that we rarely have the opportunity to specify how our tax dollars are spent and that by voting No we have voted away our right to complain about congestion for the next 10 years. Really? I have exercised my right (make that civic duty) to vote and because I saw the situation different than some, I am to be banished to the

sidelines whenever this topic comes up; even worse, I cannot call our politicians to account on these matters for 10 years? In reality, anyone who makes the effort, as small as it may be, to vote has the right and capabilities to talk, complain, praise or protest no matter how they voted and no matter if their side won or lost.That’s what living in a democracy is all about. In one sense, D.J is right.We don’t often get a chance to specify how our tax dollars are being spent. I have looked at the issues, the proposed solutions, the

current mess that is called TransLink and I have done just that. I have voted No and I am pleased as punch to have had the opportunity to specify how my tax dollars are to be spent. I only wish I could have had a say on the millions of tax dollars spent exclusively on theYes side. As far as having a conversation regarding my vote or reserving the right to call my politicians to task at a later date? We live in a democracy and such privileges are something than cannot be taken away or ignored. T. Cattermole North Vancouver

Affordability has its price From page 7 it should have been taken long ago, before the market went crazy.To intervene and change the rules now would likely hurt more existing homeowners than those who aspire to own one. No one has some kind of constitutional right to own something they can’t afford, and that means no one has a guaranteed “right” to own a home in Metro Vancouver. It appears the B.C. government will do nothing to change that. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC. Keith. Baldrey@globalnews.ca

City rises to 20th on ‘best places’ list

BIRDS OF A FEATHER

EDG DGEMONT TOGETHER T

From page 1

Vancouver came 20th on the “best places to live” rankings, with low unemployment, ready access to health care and ease of being able to walk to work among its favourable characteristics. Delta was the only other community in the Lower Mainland to make it into the top 30. District of North Vancouver Mayor Richard Walton certainly agrees with the magazine’s assessment of his community. “It’s a very nice place to live,” he said. “I have no idea why we’re not ﬁrst.” People who live on the North Shore are very involved in their communities through the arts and sports activities, he said. Residents also place a high value on connection with the outdoors. “We have a tremendous amount of green space. There’s almost nowhere that you can’t be into the trees or green space within a few minutes.” When the district did a public survey on public recreation, investments in outdoor walking, hiking and biking trails topped the public’s wish list, he said.

The magazine acknowledges a bias in favour of economic factors, noting “we feel there is a strong correlation between the economics of a city and type of life you are able build there for your family. Everyone wants to live

in a beautiful part of the country, away from subArctic conditions, but we question how much you’ll be able to enjoy a city if you have to work all the time—or if you can’t ﬁnd work at all.” The magazine also ranks cities on “best places to raise kids” which looks at factors like daycare costs and the number of young families and “best place to retire” which looks at weather, property taxes and the availability of doctors. None of the North Shore communities made those top 10 lists.

North Vancouver district was named one of the top places to live in Canada by MoneySense magazine this week, thanks to its low unemployment and low crime rate combined with a high household income and strong arts and sports community. Afﬂuence also plays into the high ranking for the district, where the average net worth is $1.15 million, making it the second wealthiest community, behind West Vancouver, in Canada.

No family is perfect, but King Lear and his daughters set the dysfunction bar pretty high. From false ﬂattery to exile and execution, William Shakespeare’s tragedy King Lear — considered one of his darkest and most depressing plays — follows the elderly King of Britain as he descends into madness after attempting to divide his estate between his daughters and sons-in-law. The family drama that drives the story forward, and leads to dire consequences, is perhaps why audiences can continue to relate to this play more than 400 years after it was written. “What’s relevant about this play is that older parents can be challenging, and Lear is not faultless in this play,” says North Vancouver actor Colleen Wheeler, who will portray Lear’s eldest

his three daughters based on their flattery and professions of love. “The two older daughters, myself and Regan, flatter him.They do as he says. And the youngest daughter, Cordelia, decides she doesn’t want to flatter him, she’s just going to state bluntly and factually that she loves him as a daughter should and no more, no less,”Wheeler explains. Infuriated by Cordelia’s response, Lear banishes her and splits his estate between Goneril and Regan. But he soon lives to regret his decision when his eldest daughters and their husbands turn against him. Goneril is no doubt a villain, set on overthrowing her father.The challenge for Wheeler, now in her 12th season with Bard on the Beach, is to identify what drives her deceitful behaviour. Like many of the characters in this play,Wheeler says, Goneril is hungry for power. “I think that’s one of the big things that motivates her.” Presented in collaboration with Theatre Calgary, and directed by the company’s artistic

BOOKS

Magical memories inspire project Musician Hilary Grist crafts children’s bedtime storybook ■ Hilary Grist: Tomorrow is a Chance to Start Over, a children’s storybook and album launch event, Saturday, June 6 at 2 p.m., at Book Warehouse at 4118 Main St., Vancouver. Free. hilarygrist.com ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com

Singer-songwriter Hilary Grist has fond memories of as a child, being whisked away from her urban environment for the summer, escaping to her family’s cabin in the wilds of Galiano Island. “We would just pack the car, and the day after school ended, go for two months and just have these long days stretched out in front of us, just exploring and having that time to connect with nature and with each other,” she says.

TheVancouver-based artist, and graduate of Capilano University’s Jazz Studies program, used those magical memories as inspiration for her latest multimedia project, a children’s bedtime storybook and accompanying dream music CD, entitled Tomorrow is a Chance to Start Over. Rhythmic and rhyming in nature, the story is geared towards those ﬁve and younger, and was released Tuesday by Montreal’sThe Secret Mountain. Grist will read the book and perform songs from the album at a free, familyfriendly launch event being held at the Main Street Book Warehouse inVancouver tomorrow, Saturday, June 6 at 2 p.m. While this is her ﬁrst children’s book, the release marks Grist’s third full-length album, a follow See more page 15

Storybook created with clay artwork From page 14 to 2014’s Come & Go. Her songs have also been featured on a variety of television shows — Grimm, Being Human, Arctic Air, Continuum and Degrassi included. Tomorrow is a Chance to Start Over depicts the journey of siblings Ira and Isabelle who one night depart from their house in a noisy, waterfront city, setting sail for a quieter, faraway land. They befriend a robin who instills in them the potential of dreams coming true. The groundwork for the project was laid following the birth of Grist’s two nieces. “I just started writing these little songs for them,” she says. Based on encouragement from her husband, Mike Southworth, who runs Creativ Recording Studios in NorthVancouver and works at Collide Entertainment, Grist continued to pen lullabies, coming to realize a story was developing.The project continued to evolve, seeing her draw upon her childhood travels to the Gulf Islands for her storyline. Also a skilled visual artist, Grist decided to try her hand at making miniatures to be photographed to bring her tale to the page. She spent hours learning how to craft clay characters, a challenge due to their approximately three inch height.The process involved a tremendous amount of trial and error as she worked to construct their armature, or inner wire skeleton, to allow for movement, as well as their bodies and tiny clothes. “I have some pretty hilarious pictures of all the

The book’s sets were constructed by Grist and her husband, a continued collaborator and producer on the project, and their friends, artists in their own right, AdamThomas (who has helped with set design on their music videos), and NorthVancouver painter Dana Irving. Papier-mâché, cardboard, plywood and paint were among the materials used. “It was a lot of little pieces along the way but we had a lot of fun,” says Grist. For the photography, Southworth worked with photographer Dan Jackson. The accompanying album includes a narrated version of the story, nine of Grist’s original songs and a version

of Johannes Brahms’ classic work, “Cradle Song.” Tomorrow is a Chance to Start Over is already in daily rotation in Grist’s nieces’ homes, each now three-anda-half-years-old. “We totally beta-tested it on them,” she says. “It’s really cute, they go to sleep with it at night. It’s part of their little bedtime routine. They put it on, it’s Pavlovian, they get sleepy. I think their parents are happy about that,” she laughs. Adding additional meaning to her current release is that Grist is currently pregnant with twins, identical boys due in mid-August. “Now I’m in that world. We just went and bought a crib, and all that kind of stuff, whereas I wasn’t really in that world before,” she says. “It feels like really nice timing, I have to say,” she adds.

Shakespeare’s Rebel based on novel

From page 13

director Dennis Garnhum, this production of King Lear recently wrapped up a month-long run in Calgary with Canadian actor Benedict Campbell in the titular role. “It’s a very epic role and Ben is amazing. He’s just got this real sense of humanity about him that the audience really related to,”Wheeler notes. Goneril is quite unlike the mild female characters found in much of the drama produced during Shakespeare’s day. “She does really bad things, which is fun for an actor to play, and especially a woman,”Wheeler says. “These female characters in this play are real warriors. They’re tough, they’re not reacting to the situations around them because of the men, they’re actually driving the action in the scenes and it’s a very masculine feeling, so it’s really a gift to be able to play that as a woman.” Together, it is Goneril and Regan who set King Lear off on his journey of

Is your Thyroid to blame? Have you ever wondered why some individuals are able to lose weight with diet and exercise, and other individuals cannot lose weight despite a disciplined program? Are you experiencing thinning hair, loss of lateral third of the eyebrows, mental fogginess and low sex drive? Have you had a good metabolism all of your life, and with menopause noticed weight gain around your midsection? Your thyroid may be to blame. But what if your thyroid tests appear normal? The standard blood test for thyroid function is called TSH, or thyroid stimulating hormone. This is a measure of how hard your thyroid gland is working to produce thyroid hormone. It is possible, however, for the TSH levels to be normal but other markers of thyroid function, such as T3 and T4, to be low. These levels are not commonly investigated unless the TSH level is out of normal range. Knowing these levels ensures proper management of thyroid functioning. Inﬂammation can also be present in the thyroid gland, which may

not necessarily affect the levels of TSH. If the active thyroid hormone produced is low (T3), then symptoms of low thyroid function will be exacerbated. What can cause low thyroid function? Chronic stress, as well as unbalanced hormone levels, can decrease the production of circulating hormone levels. High cortisol levels (stress hormones) can cause high levels of reverse T3, a hormone that binds to thyroid receptors and makes them less efﬁcient. Low levels

“Get your life back, not your symptoms”™ of the hormone progesterone can cause a decreased production of active thyroid hormone. This hormone typically will decrease with ﬂuctuations in hormone levels leading up to menopause. Marine Drive Naturopathic Clinic offers Comprehensive Thyroid testing to measure all markers of thyroid function and determine the best treatment options for patients including prescription and natural approaches. Dr. Cathryn Coe has over 9 years of experience helping patients to optimize thyroid function, including helping patients with autoimmune thyroid disorders. Knowing the levels of various thyroid hormones is the best way to determine how well the thyroid is functioning, even if you are already medicated for your thyroid gland.

ultimately it’s too late,” Wheeler says. During Bard on the Beach’s 26th season, King Lear will be staged in the 733-seat mainstage theatre tent in repertory with The Comedy of Errors, Shakespeare’s farce about two sets of long-lost twins. Directed by Scott Bellis, this rendition has a Victorian steampunk twist. Meanwhile this season, the 270-seat studio theatre tent will be the venue for Love’s Labour’s Lost. Directed by Daryl Cloran, the comedy will be set in a 1920s Chicago and feature live jazz music. It plays in repertory with Shakespeare’s Rebel, based on the 2013 novel by C.C. Humphreys and adapted by him for the stage. Wheeler plays Queen Elizabeth I in Humphrey’s historical ﬁction about John Lawley, Shakespeare’s ﬁght choreographer at the Globe Theatre. “Through him you sort of rollick through the Elizabethan times and politics,”Wheeler says. The story weaves through the political landscape of the time and features a cast of familiar characters, including Richard Burbage, the star of Shakespeare’s theatre company, and the Earl of Essex. “Shakespeare in this play is a secondary character. The main character is

Lawley and the love relationship he has with a character named Tess,” Wheeler explains. “Essex’s rebellion in Ireland is sort of the main theme of the whole play.” Shakespeare’s Rebel is directed by Christopher Gaze, the artistic director and founder of Bard on the Beach. “I’ve never been directed by Christopher Gaze, but he’s perfect as a director for this show,”Wheeler says. “The guy’s got a great sense of humor, he has a great sense of ﬁghtmanship and knows a lot about swords at the time, and he’s having a great time directing us.”

Deep Cove loves the lounge life CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

Teresa Lake and Heather Lutz have elevated lounging to an art form, so it’s ﬁtting that their line of luxe sleepwear has taken over an art gallery space. Lake and Lutz are the brains behind Paper Label, a brand of stylish but comfortable apparel that can be worn to bed, around the house, or even out and about.Their line is currently available in 30 Hudson’s Bay stores across Canada,

Pop-up shop carries all things comfy but they wanted to show off their versatile garments in a new way and recently opened a pop-up shop in the Artemis Gallery in Deep Cove. “It’s different to see a brand in a department store versus a boutique,” says Lake, a Deep Cove resident. The temporary store, simply called The SH( )P, carries the Paper Label brand in addition to a carefully curated collection

of lounge accessories from Lower Mainland companies. “We felt, given we are a sleep/loungewear line, we would surround ourselves in items that we would lounge with and invite other companies to join us,” Lake says. “We picked people that we felt mirrored our design philosophy.” Shoppers will ﬁnd soy wax candles from Vancouver Candle Co., vintage industrial lamps from East

Van Light, textiles from Le Fil Rouge and ceramics by Jacqueline Robins. Other companies participating in the pop-up are Kermodi Living Art, Big Love Ball, I Wear the Headress,Vitruvi Aromatherapy, Pixel Paper Hearts,Think & Ink, Carrall Street Canvas Company and Coconama. The Paper Label inventory will be from the spring/summer 2015 collection, with a few fall

pieces coming soon. “This season, I think we infused the spring/summer with a little bit more fashion,” explains Lutz, senior designer. “We have a jumpsuit and petal hems and really beautiful pants that people are coming in and buying and ultimately they’re wearing them out, they’re not just wearing them as loungewear or sleepwear.” With a focus on simplicity, Paper Label garments are available in See Shop page 28

says is both hypoallergenic and anti-bacterial. “We’ve had yoga teachers that have come in and bought it to wear at yoga,” she says.

THEATRE

PHT founder tells how it all started Production playfully looks back at history of NV theatre

■ Trudeau, the Felons & Me — the story of how the Presentation House Theatre was made — runs until June 14. Showtimes: Friday through Saturday at 8 p.m. with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday. Tickets: $15 to $28. More info: phtheatre.org. MARIA SPITALE-LEISK mspitale-leisk@nsnews.com

A lovestruck prime minister, felon employees, and a tale of sabotage: if this sounds like the plot of an upcoming show at Presentation House Theatre — well, it is. Trudeau, the Felons & Me, in fact, is the true story of the Chesterfield Avenue theatre’s colourful history, as told by its founder, ChrisTyrell Loranger — a former lone wolf of sorts who built a stage so he could find his identity. “I’d been an orphan,” reveals Loranger. “I had to invent myself because I didn’t inherit any stories. I didn’t have family history. And it’s a weird way to grow up. And I felt that helped me figure out what a cultural centre should be for its community. It should be a home for the community — because I really wanted a home.” Loranger learned to dream big at a young age. Rejection was not an option when, as a young man, Loranger walked into North Vancouver city hall in the mid-1970s with amateur drawings under his arm of a

The Presentation House site, which was owned by the city and served as its town hall for 62 years, already had a museum and gallery at this point.That left a blank canvas for a new theatre and Loranger to be the one to nervously convince a senior city staff member, Gerry Brewer, of his grand plan. “And I turned up there with drawings that I had made in my house. I’m an English major, right? He (Gerry) must have thought: ‘What is with this kid, has he never heard of an architect?’” But I remember, he just turned to his staff and said: ‘Anybody want to do overtime and help draw some drawings,’” fondly

recalls Loranger, speaking to North Shore News from the hallowed hallways of the PHT where he has returned once again. The nostalgia is palpable as Loranger pauses from rehearsal for Trudeau, the Felons & Me to take a proverbial trip down memory lane. A series of disasters that Loranger faced while building the theatre, on opening day and throughout his tenure there provide the fodder for his play. Loranger, who already knew a thing or two about adversity, was well prepared to roll with the punches — which there were plenty of. “They offered me the job but they didn’t have any

money to pay me, so I had to raise my own money,” explains Loranger of the ﬁrst obstacle he had to overcome. Fortunately for Loranger, he found free labour in some felons that had been ordered to help build the theatre and perform some odd jobs as part of their community service.Thus, the PHT was built on the backs of criminals, chuckles Loranger. “What they did (wrong) was nobody’s business kind of thing,” says Loranger, adding, the colourful characters were instructed to say they were volunteers, if anyone asked. “We had so much work here and so little money, we’d just eat them up — all these labourers.” In fact, an arsonist who

had set fire to the PHT was ordered by a judge to return to the scene of the crime to help restore it as part of his 400 hours of community service. “We got a healthy, really generous insurance settlement which helped us a lot,” says Loranger of the silver lining that emerged from that disaster. In July 1977, the finishing touches were being done and Loranger was working on a dramatic, splashy opening fit for the theatre. Nothing less than a big star, or somebody that would get a lot of publicity, to cut the ribbon would do. Again, Loranger was a big dreamer, so was it any surprise he managed to

get the ultimate Canadian luminary at the time to come to NorthVancouver to christen the theatre? To pull off this feat, Loranger turned to one of his good female friends who went to Handsworth secondary with Margaret Trudeau.Yes, the one-time wife of the popular Canadian prime minister. Loranger recalls being “floored” at the news that PierreTrudeau had accepted the invitation to officially open the doors to his humble theatre. But Loranger got a little more than he bargained for. “He (Trudeau) asked me to contact a woman for a date — a woman that I knew,” Loranger says with a laugh. Trudeau, insistent that Loranger track down this young woman’s phone number, created a sideshow of sorts on that day. “And I just didn’t know what to do,” recalls Loranger. “I tried to talk him (Trudeau) out of it but he made us leave the building and walk around to my office and phone and get ahold of (her). I jokingly call it pimping for the prime minister.” Loranger never knew what happened after that impulsive phone call or if his friend ever went out with Trudeau, until today — some 38 years later.While recently working on the script for Trudeau, the Felons & Me, Loranger called up Anne, who is now in her late 60s, to learn the details of her date withTrudeau. “And she was like, ‘Oh, was it you that gave him (Trudeau) my number — I always wondered how he got my number,’” says Loranger,

FILM

Entourage neutered on the big screen ■ Entourage.Written and directed by Doug Ellin. Starring Adrian Grenier, Jeremy Piven, Kevin Connolly, Kevin Dillon and Jerry Ferrara. Rating: 4 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD ContributingWriter

It’s hard to hate Entourage, the new extended-HBOepisode dressed like a feature ﬁlm, but it’s easy to feel a little sorry for it. It clearly doesn’t know, despite the determined partying going on onscreen, that the dude party is over: like the phrase “bromance” (coined in the ’90s) or the garish soft-porn of Maxim, recently rebranded into something new. Guys doing guy things is only worth watching if there is something else going on, some hint of irony, some tongue-incheek acknowledgement that we all need a high-dose injection of testosterone in our lives once in a while. The HBO series excelled at this in the beginning when it took gentle pokes at Hollywood entitlement as our boys climbed the sticky ladder to success. But

tired. Not to worry: the boys’ history is quickly explained in case you didn’t follow the show, which was based loosely on Mark Wahlberg’s early exploits in Hollywood (how loosely, only his priest knows). The action starts — where else — on a yacht in Ibiza, so there’s no time to wonder where the boobies are at.Vince is celebrating the death of an amicably failed marriage and embarking on his ﬁrst directing gig, a futuristic remake of the Jekyll and Hyde story.The ﬁlm is overbudget, much to the dismay

many appreciative grunts as the girls do. Spot-the-celeb is as entertaining as the film gets.There’s Gary Busey explaining literature to muscleheads; Haley Joel Osment is Larson’s buffoonish son; Bob Saget tries not to sleep with girls from his daughter’s middle school; billionaires Warren Buffet and Mark Cuban make appearances, along with athletes like Mike Tyson and Russell Wilson, actors Jessica Alba, David Spade, Armie Hammer, John Favreau, and music icons T.I. and Pharrell. Emily Ratajkowski is Vince’s bland not-quite-love interest. Wahlberg, acting as producer, manages to plug both his Ted sequel and his Wahlburger’s reality show during his walk-on, a shameless bit of selfpromotion that seems right at home in a film about Hollywood. Greg Louganis sets gay rights back a few years by agreeing to a thankless cameo as former assistant Lloyd’s (Red Lee) future husband, a plot point that pretty much dies on the vine. And the best line in the film occurs after an angry Liam Neeson gives Ari the finger, leading Ari to plead “Hey Schindler, leave no Jew behind!” But that’s about it. Entourage is destined to join Sex and the City as a smart show that tried to make a big play at the box office but instead reminded us of just how redundant it had become. And by the time the boys do that trademark slo-mo saunter across the red carpet, we’re wishing they’d make a speedier exit.

because … they doubledated with the Queen and Prince Philip.” There was hardly a learning period for Loranger, who had limited theatre experience in the beginning. The ﬁrst show produced at PHT — North Shore Live — which poked

fun at amateur actors — went on a national tour and became a huge hit internationally — thanks to some good fortune. A New York Times critic, who happened to be in Vancouver, came to check out North Shore Live and he wrote up a

found objects like rusty nails and machine parts adorned the PHT gallery space. Loranger worked in concert with a gallery in Stratford, Ont., and applied for a federal grant to ship the show across the country. His decision to establish a permanent photography exhibit, which routinely featured world-class artists such as Ansel Adams, proved popular with guests and really put Presentation House on the map. But along with those positives came some negative publicity surrounding controversial shows at the theatre. For example, when PHT hosted a speaker series at the height of Quebec separatist tensions. The Quebec government paid for the event and invited three “heavyweight intellectuals” of the Parti Quebecois as the guest speakers. The presence of the separatists didn’t go over well with someone living in the building across the street from PHT. “A man set a trip wire across the stairs, and sent us hate mail, and really Stephen Kingy, threatening

(stuff),” recalls Loranger, who tripped and fell down the stairs after the trap was set. PHT staff also decided to host a show with a proseal hunt message — in “Greenpeace territory.” The theatre was thrust in the national news media spotlight and there was RCMP presence. “Greenpeace bought out most of the seats,” says Loranger, who described the Q & A session that followed the show as a screaming match. Loranger will reach deep into his vault of PHT stories for Trudeau, the Felons & Me, which hits the stage this week. “It’s not like a play, it’s like elaborate storytelling with plenty of humour and comedic relief — like in a Shakespeare script,” describes Loranger, who has fashioned costumes out of paper, meant to represent pages of his reallife diary. The show is a cathartic experience for Loranger, as someone who long searched for his identity before finally finding his figurative home in the Presentation House Theatre.

2016 Acura MDX

MDX Acura’s ace in the hole

MALCOLM GUNN ContributingWriter

Luxury tall wagons come in many forms and the Acura MDX has consistently been a go-to, ever since the ﬁrst one was launched about 15 years ago. The MDX was all-new for the 2014 model year, but that hasn’t stopped Honda’s premium division from making some signiﬁcant

alterations for the 2016 edition that’s now on sale. The updates don’t affect the MDX’s physical appearance, which is still relatively fresh. A pair of jewel eye headlights (ﬁve mini lights encased in each headlight pod) has become the signature styling calling card for the Acura brand, along with the equally recognizable shield grille. Likewise the spacious interior remains a familiar

spot, although now for easier access the driver’s seat automatically moves about 3.5 centimetres to the rear when the door is opened.There’s also 15 centimetres of fore and aft travel for the second row. Button clutter on the dashboard and control panel was reduced to nine from 41 when the MDX was last updated; the rest having been incorporated either into a console-

mounted dial or included as part of the 20-centimetre touch-screen display for the audio, communications and climate-control systems. Both the secondand third-row seats can be folded to create a completely ﬂat load ﬂoor, which is a much-appreciated attribute that speaks to the detail-sweating nature of the MDX’s designers. Unchanged also is the MDX’s 3.5-litre V-6 that

produces 290 horsepower and 267 foot-pounds of torque. So what’s so different about the 2016 MDX versus the 2015 version? To begin with, Acura has swapped out the six-speed automatic transmission for a nine-speed unit.The transmission, which is reportedly 30 kilograms lighter than the six-speed

and delivers faster shifts (by 25 per cent), was first developed for the 2015 TLX, but has since been installed in the RLX sedan as well as the MDX. The nine-speed surprisingly has no positive impact on fuel economy that remains at 12.7 litres/100 kilometres in the city and 9.1 on the highway (12.2/9.1 with idle-stop engine shut-off system). Acura has also replaced the traditional floor shifter with a series of electronically controlled rocker switches and buttons. Park, Neutral and Drive are engaged by pressing individual buttons, while shifting into reverse involves pulling back on a rocker switch. The result of this unorthodox change is a de-cluttered floor console and improved access to the storage compartment beneath the control stack. Another upgrade is the latest version of the MDX’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system. Acura claims the unit’s twin-clutch rear differential improves torque transfer to all four wheels when the roads become slippery or when additional power is directed to the outside wheels negotiating turns (called torque vectoring).The SH-AWD is an ideal standard feature for the MDX, considering what kind of trouble it can help drivers get out of. For 2016, Acura’s collision-avoiding AcuraWatch system can be added to the base MDX that starts at $53,000 (including destination charges). Among its many features is adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow that maintains a safe distance from the vehicle in front while collisionmitigating braking will bring the MDX to a full stop, if necessary, to avoid a crash. Also available is roaddeparture mitigation that helps keep you in your lane as well as from heading off the road entirely. Blind spot monitoring and cross-traffic alerts also help keep you safe when surrounded by traffic and act as your eyes when backing up. Finally, AcuraWatch adds a multiview rear backup camera with directional lines to help

when reversing into a tight spot. There are numerous non-safety-related items that can be added, such as a navigation and premium audio package, rear-seat entertainment screen and a GPS-linked climate control that varies the cabin temperature according to the sun’s position. When it comes to combining luxury and utility, the MDX is Acura’s ace in the hole. Continual improvement of the breed keeps it on buyers’ radar. The specs: 2016 Acura MDX Type: Four-door, all-wheeldrive sport utility vehicle Engine: 3.5-litre DOHC V-6, 290 h.p. Transmission: Nine-speed automatic. Safety: Front airbags; sideimpact airbags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; traction control; stability control. L/100 km (city/hwy) 12.7/9.1; Base price (incl. destination) $53,000. Market position Among the numerous seven- and eight-passenger competitors, the MDX remains one of the most popular luxury sport utility wagons on the market and is a major driving force in Acura’s lineup. Points Attractive, but in a low-key way; Not any more fuel-efﬁcient than
