Bear rips apart second Lexus this week in search of meal on wheels JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

For the second time in week, a hungry bear has ripped apart a Lexus left parked overnight in search of a picnic basket.

This time, the bear broke into a car parked in front of a house on North Vancouver’s Panorama Drive Tuesday night by breaking the windows and attempting to pry open the doors, after sniffing out a box of protein bars that had been left in the vehicle.

The bear ripped apart the SUV’s interior in the search for a snack and left paw prints, claw marks and tufts of fur behind as its calling card.

North Vancouver RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Richard De Jong said damage to the vehicle is estimated at about $5,000.

The bear’s decision to treat the vehicle as its pantry comes only days after another similar incident in West Vancouver, where a bear peeled open a Lexus in

COURT: PROPERTY LINE DISAGREEMENT

Neighbour in deck dispute ordered to pay JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

“If it offends you, cut it off” isn’t a sentiment that should be taken literally by homeowners, a B.C. Supreme Court justice has decided – especially not when the offending structure is your neighbour’s deck.

A judge had to step in recently and sort out the acrimony between two North Vancouver neighbours whose disagreement over a property line encroachment ended in both a chainsaw solution and a lawsuit.

According to court documents, relations between David

Homeowner cut off part of neighbour’s deck with chainsaw Watson, who lives at 5469 Indian River Dr. and the couple who used to live next door at 5495 Indian River Dr. – Geoffrey Taylor Charlton and Sheila Barlett – turned distinctly unneighbourly over the property line issue.

Charlton, who bought the house in 2012, took issue with Watson’s septic tank, set of stairs and outside deck, which encroached about three feet on to his property.

Witnesses at the trial said those structures had originally

been built by a previous owner. Watson later had the rotting deck and stairs replaced – without a building permit and at a slightly larger size.

In January 2013, Charlton told Watson he’d had a property survey done and said Watson would need to deal with the issue. Watson said he’d consider it.

But two weeks later, while Watson and his family were out, Charlton took matters into his own hands, using a chainsaw to cut off portions of Watson’s deck and stairs that crossed the property line and moving the footings for the deck.

He took about eight hours to complete the task, using a

PAUL SULLIVAN: SANCTUARY A FRAGILE NOTION IN ORLANDO’S WAKE PAGE 8

SD44 nixes free hot lunch program Program shifts from hot lunch to healthy snacks aimed at reducing food waste, boosting nutrition JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

A school districtfunded food program that’s been providing hot lunches to kids at some North Vancouver schools for the past two decades is being replaced by a program that will provide different types of food to more kids, but will phase out the hot lunches.

Those in charge of the program say changes will make healthy food available to more kids who come to school hungry or don’t have enough nutritious food in their backpacks. They also say it’ll help cut down on a large amount of food wasted by the current program.

A few people have raised questions, however, about whether the snacks provided can take the place of a hot meal for the students who really need it.

The hot lunch program run by the North Vancouver School District doesn’t attract much attention.

But at a cost of about $300,000 annually, the program has been making a hot lunch available daily to students at four schools with a high proportion of vulnerable students, including Norgate, Queen Mary, Ridgeway and Westview elementary.

The program provides a hot lunch item through a contracted provider – soup, stew or a burrito, for example – that’s distributed by school support staff.

Parents have the option of paying for the lunch, but for families who can’t afford it, the school district covers the cost.

The lunch program is

good in theory, says Monty Bell, director of instruction and learning for the North Vancouver School District.

Research has shown there’s a high correlation between kids having a balanced diet of nutritious food and better ability to concentrate in class and regulate behaviour, he said.

But some kids come to school without good food.

Bell said the best estimate is there is “no less than three per cent of the (student) population coming to school in need of food security.” In some schools, that may be as high as 15 per cent of all students.

Schools targeted for hot lunch programs are those where socio-economic factors – including low incomes, high numbers of single-parent families or children in government care – have pointed to a need.

In some cases, families have the financial means to provide good food, but find it difficult to come up with balanced school lunches day after day.

“Sometimes it’s just the rush,” said Bell.

But one of the big problems with the hot lunch program is students don’t get a choice, said Bell – which limits the appeal.

That’s resulted in dwindling numbers of lunches being picked up, he said.

More disturbingly, about 60 per cent of the food is being wasted, he added.

Bell said the other problem is that some kids who need help at other schools or at times other than lunch haven’t been getting it.

Under the new program – expected to cost about the same – no hot lunch will be offered, but students at

Healthy snacks replace the school’s hot lunch program. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD all schools in the district will have access to healthy snacks like cheese strips, granola bars and fruit for no charge if they want it.

Carolyn Pena, president of the North Vancouver Teachers Association, said she’s heard some concerns raised by teachers about the changes.

“Is it going to provide the same level of nutritious food?” she asked.

“It doesn’t sound like it’s a full meal. It might just be snacks. We don’t have a lot of information about that yet.”

Pena said some teachers feel it would make more sense for the program to

focus on making sure the most vulnerable students have access to a “robust program” rather than making sure snacks are available for everyone.

Bell said a test of the new food access program run in several schools this year showed it is popular with students.

Damage from that latenight snack session was

estimated at $10,000.

De Jong said it is “very unusual” to have two similar incidents so close together.

But it’s not the first time bears have treated vehicles as their personal drivethrough fast food outlets.

Deck rebuilt without survey

Bears have been known to rip open car doors even for the faintest of smells.

Another vehicle in the British Properties was broken into last summer for some leftover sushi and in previous years, cookies and

spilled coffee have attracted Yogi to potential meals on wheels.

Even leaving food wrappers in a vehicle can be enough to attract a bear, said De Jong.

“Bears do have an

incredible sense of smell and incredible strength,” he said.

So far, 2016 has seen relatively few bear conflicts on the North Shore, according to the North Shore Black Bear Network.

chainsaw, skill saw, hammer, nails, and other tools, along with a backhoe to remove footings for the deck, according to court documents.

Charlton also blocked Watson’s access to the septic tank with pieces of wood held in place with wires and screws, that rested on the tank and supported the deck above it, according to court documents.

Each time Watson removed the wood blocks, Charlton would replace them. At one point, Watson alleged Charlton had “threatened to cut his septic tank in half” and also swung a rake at him.

Not surprisingly, “all of these actions fostered bad blood between the parties,” noted B.C. Supreme Court Justice Trevor Armstrong.

In considering the issues, Armstrong found that Watson was careless in not checking the property line before rebuilding the deck.

“Common sense would have informed the plaintiff of the need for a building permit and a survey,” he wrote.

But he also found the encroachments had minimal impact on the neighbours’ property and would be costly and cumbersome to move.

The judge therefore ordered that the neighbours sell that strip of their property to Watson at fair market value.

In court, Charlton justified his actions, saying he removed Watson’s deck because it was unsafe.

But the judge didn’t buy that, adding homeowners are not entitled to engage in “self help” remedies that cause irreparable damage to another person’s property – especially without any prior notice.

“In my view this antisocial behaviour was not rational or supported in law,” he wrote, awarding $9,000 to Watson for Charlton’s trespass.

Armstrong also awarded $2,000 to Charlton for the encroachment of the septic tank.

HERITAGE PRESERVATION: THOMSON HOUSE

Revitalization plan decried by neighbours

Advocates rally to save 1913 home in Carisbrooke JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

Can you have your heritage and keep neighbourhood character, too?

That’s what District of North Vancouver council will be mulling until July 4, when they will likely vote on a plan to subdivide a 100-foot lot on 360 East Windsor Road.

The subdivision would allow the Thomson House – with its Craftsman architecture dating back to 1913 – to be retained. However, it would also allow for an approximately 3,200-squarefoot home to be built on the adjoining lot; creating extra density that will “imperil this neighbourhood,” according to area resident Glen Robitaille.

Robitaille was one of several neighbours who packed council chambers during Tuesday’s public hearing to speak against the subdivision and its worrisome precedent.

The subdivision is not a slippery slope, it’s a path toward preserving history,

argued heritage advocate Kyla Gardiner. “By demolishing heritage buildings, we erase the stories of our past,” she said.

Gardiner reminded the crowd that the heritage designation afforded to the Thomson House would be site specific, and only applied to other historically significant heritage homes through negotiations with the municipality.

“With property values soaring through the roof, heritage homes have little to no value compared to the land they sit on, and are at risk of being demolished,” she said.

A heritage revitalization agreement could not only save the Thomson House from the wrecking ball, it might persuade other heritage homeowners to think beyond the value of their lot, she said. “lf only the large lots are protected, Upper Lonsdale will eventually become like so many other neighbourhoods in the Lower Mainland, with huge, brand new homes that are out of reach for many local buyers.”

Robitaille took issue with the notion the subdivision would provide affordability, noting the two properties would likely each sell for more than $2 million. “These are not starter homes,” he said. “This

is not a case of the working class versus the landed money class. Perhaps it would be better put as multimillionaires versus millionaires.”

Robitaille also jousted with Donato D’Amici, the owner of the Thomson House.

For D’Amici, the subdivision is about preserving the character that lured him to the neighbourhood in the first place. “Why save the Thomson house?” D’Amici asked. “Why not tear it down and build a big spec house for foreign buyers? I could’ve made a lot more money doing that and my neighbours couldn’t have done anything about it.”

D’Amici announced plans to remove the coach house from the new residence to address density concerns.

While he would prefer to subdivide, D’Amici was adamant that if his application was denied, he would be forced to sell to developers.

Robitaille took issue with some of the language being used. “Monster house. Foreign investor. Absentee ownership.

What is the point of comments like these? There’s a reason they call it dog-whistle politics,” he said. “This is rhetoric disguised to get your

emotions up and mask some truth.”

Should the Thomson House be levelled, Robitaille suggested the replacement home would likely have a maximum floor area of 5,940 square feet, not including the

basement.

Neighbour Stan Feingold called on council to respect the community’s wishes.

“We’re the neighbours. We’re here for the long-term, not the flip.”

District staff investigated moving the Thomson House and concluded there could

be logistical challenges that might push the price of the haul to $125,000.

While the house has been lifted, much of its heritage material has been retained, according to heritage consultant Donald Luxton.

“We have to be realistic about what it will require

to preserve the Thomson house,” he said, calling the subdivision a very reasonable way to maintain heritage.

The issue is now closed to comment following the public hearing.

Heritage advocates attempt to woo 700 homeowners

Revitalization agreements pitched BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

The North Shore’s heritage advocates are mounting a blitz to save the area’s remaining heritage homes as they come under threat of demolition and redevelopment.

The North Shore Heritage Preservation Society spent two weeks going door to door and pamphleteering roughly 700 homes with heritage value in hopes of informing the owners what incentives are available to them to preserve and protect the home, rather than sell them as tear-downs.

The campaign, which was followed up with a public meeting organized by the society on Wednesday night,

has netted some impressive results and a few hidden gems, Clay said.

“It got a lot of interest.

I think we had between 80 and 100 people (Wednesday) night. I have never seen a lineup for one of our events that doesn’t serve wine,” she said. “We literally had people out the door.”

The event featured talks from heritage expert Donald Luxton as well as heritage planners from all three municipalities who let homeowners know what options were on the table in heritage revitalization agreements. Among them: heritage designation and covenants, the addition of extra square footage to the home, coach houses and secondary suites, relaxation of parking space requirements, relocating the home on the same property or subdividing the lot for a new home construction or some combination of the above.

“It’s important to know you can do these things now while you’re living in the home but you don’t necessarily have to proceed with the actual development. You can set it up on paper. It’s attached to the title of the property so that when it’s sold, the house is already designated heritage,” Clay said.

The campaign is specifically targeting older homeowners who likely have lived in the home for a long time and, as the preservation society sees it, are more likely to have a sentimental desire to see the house preserved.

“They’re the ones who put their blood, sweat and tears into the restoration of the home and feel helpless and don’t know what to do to protect it before they sell,” she said. “We felt the excavators and developers breathing down our necks, so timing is crucial.”

While locking up a bunch

of old-timers with permanent protection might be a heritage preservationist’s dream, revitalizations agreements are often resisted by the neighbouring community, Clay acknowledged. Typical grievances are that the subdivisions and coach houses bring unwanted change and more people living on what used to be a single-family lot.

But, Clay said, it’s either that or outright demolition and redevelopment, which still brings change and sacrifices a tangible link to a community’s past.

“We can’t reasonably expect we’re going to preserve all heritage homes, as-is, on double lots or even single lots without some kind of development into the future, given the demand for housing,” she said. “People have to expect change. They have to be flexible. There has to be compromise and there has to be neighbourhood consultation.”

These old houses

T

here’s a debate frequently playing out on the North Shore, pitting the retention of heritage against the desires of the neighbourhood.

Heritage homes are notoriously expensive to maintain. Very few owners and developers will be willing to save them for the love of heritage alone, especially when the market is crying out for more pink stucco boxes built to the maximum allowable setback.

But there’s a predictable pushback from the community if saving the home through a heritage revitalization agreement means subdivision, a coach house or some other incentive. We saw it recently with West Vancouver’s Vinson House and Sykes Residence and again this week at the public hearing for a project that would save Carisbrooke’s 1913 Thomson House by subdividing the lot and allowing a new

home to be built.

But the level of vitriol levelled at the Thomson House proposal was more in line with what we’d expect when council is considering a recovery house, a highdensity tower or a port terminal. One new home on a smaller lot is probably more innocuous than the opposition maintains.

While we might like to fantasize our neighbourhoods will stay just the way we like them until the end of time, this isn’t realistic, especially when there are developers’ bulldozers fuelled up and idling in the driveway.

We’d encourage our residents and councils to take the long view – really long.

These old houses are our physical link to past and they’re irreplaceable. Even after we’re gone from this earth, the neighbourhood will remain. The point of preserving heritage isn’t for our benefit, but for the benefit of those yet to come.

Sanctuary a fragile notion in Orlando’s wake

I

don’t know about you, but I often think of the North Shore as a sanctuary from the madness of the world.

The world is a pretty ferocious place, and every day, it just seems to get nastier. This week, the UN Refugee Agency said there are now 65.3-million people driven from their homes by the forces of chaos. A world record! That’s 24 people a minute; 98,000 are “unaccompanied” children, homeless and alone.

While I’m sitting pretty on my balcony with a steaming mug of morning coffee and a newspaper, listening to the birds sing, I think about those 24 people a minute for a minute, and then turn the page.

It’s not the noblest feeling; if I’m being honest, it’s like “I’m safe and I’d like to stay that way, thank you.”

That’s not an exaggeration. There are 300 million firearms in the U.S. for a population of 319 million

people, making it the number one gun-owning nation on earth.

According to StatsCan, Canadians have about seven million guns, still lots if you pile them in a heap. But if you do a little figuring, that comes to 0.2 guns per person, so it would take at least five people to put together one gun, and as the prospect of getting five people to work together on anything is slim, I feel relatively safe.

Add to the fact that anyone who wants to buy a gun in Canada must have a valid licence under the Firearms Act and to get that, you have to take a safety course, submit to criminal history and background checks, provide personal references, and undergo a mandatory waiting period. If you still want a gun after all that, you’re one dedicated shootist.

In the U.S., you can buy the same assault rifle used by the Orlando murderer in seven minutes. At least that’s what a reporter for the Philadelphia Daily News was able to do - even in the wake of the Orlando outrage. Will those people never learn?

Yes, if you go through all that background rigmarole, you can actually buy an AR-15 assault rifle, which is the weapon of choice for American mass murderers, right here in Vancouver. But in Canada, they come with a five-round clip, one shot at a time. The Orlando murder weapon has a 30-round clip; at one point the assassin fired 20 shots in nine seconds.

My point is, and I do have one, is that right down to the details, it’s safer here.

If we’re smart, maybe we can talk Donald Trump into building a wall between us

and the U.S. and get them to pay for it.

As for those 65-million homeless people, we’re doing our bit. We’re opening our arms to 25,000 refugees, and here on the North Shore, because of the shortage of affordable rental housing, we’re making room for less than a dozen.

Aspiring Canadians in a Turkish refugee camp have a greater chance of winning Lotto 64/9 than actually boarding a plane and ending up on the North Shore.

Sanctuary is a fragile thing. One man’s sanctuary is another fool’s paradise.

The number one reason Americans cite for owning a gun is self-defense. And in a nation that recorded nearly 37,000 deaths and injuries from shootings in 2015, it’s not just stinkin’ thinkin’.

Canada, by the way, had 172 gun-related homicides in 2012. And that’s too many!

But is this haven on the Pacific a fool’s paradise?

Many would argue that it is. A hotbed of “first world problems”: real estate is expensive because everyone wants to live here; the health-care system is overburdened because here, more people survive to old age, when the wheels fall off at once.

Yet the real problems, which seem so far away as I enjoy a cup of coffee on my leafy balcony, are always lurking nearby, just waiting for the opportunity to disrupt our happy little lives.

Just ask the people of Fort McMurray.

Are you taking a staycation this summer?

It may be the first week of summer, according to the calendar, but Mother Nature sure has us confused thanks to some wacky weather. Normal temperatures for these parts return next week, as summer vacation goes into full swing.

How will you spend the lazy days of summer? Will you stick around for all the outdoor activities and festivals B.C. boasts this time of year? Or will you head abroad for a new adventure? We hit the streets to ask: Are you taking a staycation this summer?

Weigh in at nsnews.com.

Defunct boat ramp at Lions Gate deserves a second look is still there, but not serviceable. And more importantly, not accessible. The land once associated to that ramp has been consumed by the current Lions Gate Wastewater Treatment Plant and is not accessible by the public.

However, perhaps not all is lost. With the construction of a new sewage treatment plant at the old B.C. Rail station location, the existing Lions Gate plant will be persistent, but its duties will change and it won’t require the same amount of real estate it currently does.

A quick look shows the area currently occupied by soon-tobe-defunct settling tanks could be re-purposed for easy in/out parking and the land associated to the current ramp could be made usable pretty

easily - if the district wanted it to be and took the reins to make it so.

Just a suggestion. The district could maybe have a look at a partnership with local anglers to upgrade that old ramp to a multi-lane and add in some parking for trailers.

No one expects to use the ramp for free - it would generate revenue, though as with other special purpose public amenities - pools, rinks, libraries, parks, community halls etc. - it would never make money.

And it would provide a safe location to launch small boats - something West Van has provided for years and needs to still.

Bellevue tower decision shortsighted Dear Editor: Re: Bellevue Tower Proposal Toppled, North Shore News, June 8.

I can’t believe the shortsightedness of some members of our council in preventing the subject proposal from going to a public hearing.

To me the proposal sounds

On April 4th, 2016, the City of North Vancouver’s Director of Finance went before council recommending a property tax increase of 3.9%. At the back of that report confirmation that “...the property tax was confi increase ccalculated under Option 1 (attachment 1) is estimated at ... .... 10.9% for the average ssingle dwelling unit.” truth is many home owners received But the tr tax invoic invoices well above that average. Mine was 20% high higher, my neighbours - 30%, a friend on East 8th aand another on West 16th both received 335% increases. But the question everyone should be asking is why?

The City b banked an annual income surplus of $71.2 M(m M(million) in 2015, $10.4 M in 2014 and “Get Involved! Let’s get our $38.0 M in 2013. Given that we have increased community back on track” our cash ssavings by $119.6M over the last 3 kerrymorris.ca | 778.847.1249 years, why are we raising taxes at all? kerry.morris1249@gmail.com

Dear Editor: The recent decision by the District of West Vancouver to close the Ambleside boat ramp (to power boaters) while unfortunate, was predictable and unstoppable. It was the easy way out - conveniently leveraging the Spirit Trail as justification for the elimination of decades of history.

Interesting how Cates Park manages to make things work safely with a five-lane ramp yet Ambleside “can’t” with one lane. But I digress...and like it or not, the decision has been made.

As part of the dialogue that went with the decision, reference was made to “a long-gone boat ramp under the Lions Gate Bridge.” Well, the ramp is not “long gone” and in fact

The proposal would yield badly needed additional residential dwellings to our community and given the challenges faced by the developer in a location which is situated across from a major BC Hydro

As far as a teen centre is concerned, how about converting one of the “gallery” waterfront homes owned by the municipality.

“The benefits were that putting greens are quite small, low maintenance and multi-use,” said Connie Rabold, spokesperson for the city. Those multi-uses might include yoga or exercise, she noted. “And as a new feature it’s attracting folks as well as new user groups to the park.”

Tedeschi Trucks Band rolls into town for jazz fest gig

Southern soul picnic ! Tedeschi Trucks Band, Queen Elizabeth Theatre, Tuesday, June 28, 8 p.m. as part of the TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival. For more information visit coastaljazz.ca.

JOHN GOODMAN jgoodman@nsnews.com

Derek Trucks taps into history every time he picks up his guitar. The nephew of Allman Brothers’ drummer Butch Trucks he grew up in an environment saturated in southern myth and the legend of Duane Allman.

Trucks began performing as a professional musician almost as soon as he could hold an instrument and in his teens was already sharing the stage with the likes of Bob Dylan and Buddy Guy. It wasn’t so much a vocation for the young slide guitarist as a way of life played out 24/7.

With the Tedeschi Trucks Band, the powerful ensemble he formed in 2010 with his wife Susan Tedeschi, Trucks follows in the footsteps of the two-drummer Allman Brothers and other southern juggernauts such as Delaney & Bonnie and Friends. Bands put together like extended families with

accompanying horn sections, backup singers and a soulful camaraderie forged on the road.

The Tedeschi Trucks Band plays a blues-based rock which can and usually does take off in a number of other improvisational directions bringing in jazz, gospel, country roots and Indian classical influences as well. A soulful southern stew prepared by 12 masterful musicians.

Trucks talked to the North Shore News earlier this week about the band and their upcoming tour which takes them across North America through the summer. They will finish up with a six-night stand at New York City’s Beacon Theater in October, something the Allman Brothers Band did annually for many years and Tedeschi Trucks intend to keep that tradition alive.

DEREK TRUCKS

NorthShoreNews: You seem to have been born to make music.

Does it seem that way to you? Did you ever consider anything else?

DerekTrucks: Not really. It definitely feels that way at times. I started playing at nine years old and didn’t really think a whole lot about it at that time. You kind of do what you do but since I’ve started playing I never thought about doing anything else. It’s been a good twenty-something years of being on the road and trying to carry it on and keep the flame lit in a lot of ways. Keep the intensity and not let up.

NSN: Canada played a part in the very early part of your career when you travelled to Toronto for a gig. How did that come about?

DerekTrucks: I think the first show I ever played outside of Jacksonville was the Toronto Jazz and Blues Festival. Maybe 1989, I think that sounds right. That was a whole new world. I hadn’t travelled too much outside the city or state at that point. It was an exciting road trip. I think I rode in the front of the RV the whole way, just watching the highway pass by. I’ve gotten used to those

Galleries hosting Int’l Watercolour Biennale Exhibition set to open at West Van’s Ferry Building West Vancouver’s Ferry Building Gallery is one of three Lower Mainland art spaces hosting the first Canada International Watercolour Biennale July 5 to 24.

The project was created

by North Shore watercolour artist and architect Alfonso Tejada, Canadian head of the International Watercolour Society (IWS).

The IWS is an international non-profit organization established in 2012 with the objective of promoting the world’s oldest and most deeply rooted painting technique – the art of watercolour painting.

When asked what inspired him to make this project a reality Tejada said “my interest in bringing this exhibition to Canada and specifically Vancouver is to share my appreciation and passion for watercolour that I have experienced while painting and teaching with renowned artists in Europe. I want to foster

awareness here amongst artists and the public so that they deepen their understanding of the unique beauty of watercolour painting in an artistic and exploratory way.”

An international jury of prominent watercolour artists – John Salminen, Keiko Tanabe, and Pablo Ruben Lopez Sanz – selected the works with prestigious groups participating such as the Gorlini School of Arts in Milan and AEDA, the Spanish Association of Watercolour artists in Madrid.

On exhibition are 175 art works in three venues from artists and International Watercolour Associations in Spain, Taiwan, India, Belgium, Australia, Poland, Greece, Russia, Romania, Mexico, Israel, Italy, Sweden, Mongolia, Iran, Nigeria, Vietnam, Nepal, Canada, USA, Slovenia, Portugal, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Netherlands, Peru and more.

Other participating galleries with exhibitions running concurrently are North Vancouver’s Cityscape Community Art Space July 7 to 30 and International Arts Gallery in Vancouver July 9 to 25.

For more information see ferrybuildinggallery.com and iwscanada.com/watercolourbiennale.html.

The International Watercolour Society’s Alfonso Tejada goes over submissions for the first Canada International Watercolour Biennale opening in July on separate dates at West Vancouver’s Ferry Building, North Vancouver’s Cityscape and the International Arts Gallery in downtown Vancouver.

REVIEW: THE DAUGHTER

Standout cast shine in Ibsen’s moody blues ! The Daughter. Directed

by Simon Stone. Starring Geoffrey Rush, Paul Schneider, Odessa Young, Ewen Leslie and Sam Neill.

Rating: 8 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD Contributing Writer

Closeted skeletons never go out of fashion, as Henrik Ibsen’s 1884 play The Wild Duck and Simon Stone’s new brooding film adaptation prove.

Paternity, scandal and the percolating potential for violence are at the fore of both; the catalyst is the son who returns to his father after a lengthy absence with nothing but bile and subliminal plans for revenge.

Christian (Paul Schneider) arrives in New South Wales from America, back for his father’s wedding to his housekeeper, a decades-younger woman.

Sawmill baron Henry (Oscar winner Geoffrey Rush) hopes for reconciliation but Christian still grieves his mother, who committed suicide years previous.

Christian bumps into his old friend Oliver (Ewen Leslie), whose family has more than one tie to his own: Oliver’s dad Walter (Sam Neill) went to jail for helping

Anna Torv and Geoffrey Rush are part of the excellent ensemble featured in Simon Stone’s The Daughter. PHOTO SUPPLIED Henry cook his corporate books, and it is revealed that Oliver’s wife (Miranda Otto, Homeland) was briefly Henry’s housekeeper.

Two pivotal events are Henry’s fault: first, he closes down the sawmill, the heart of the town, setting off an exodus of people leaving to

find work. Then there’s the shooting of a duck, which Walter saves and adds to his menagerie of wounded and abandoned animals, housed in a makeshift Eden in the backyard.

The men reminisce in the days leading up to the wedding, while Christian’s

agitation over his own deteriorating marriage and his dad’s new one causes him to start drinking again.

Central to everything is Hedvig (Odessa Young), Oliver’s bright, spirited daughter. Oliver is determined that she get out of their stifling town and

realize the potential that he squandered. She is happiest hanging out with her boyfriend, or tending to the wounded duck with grandfather Walter.

The film is largely painted in moody blues and greys, near darkness and halflight, while a score by Mark

Bradshaw enhances the foreboding. History, recent and past, is doled out in moody increments. One character with nothing to lose selfishly believes catharsis is the best thing for everyone, consequences be damned. There are lots of unexpected twists: we know things will erupt, we just don’t know who will be affected first, or how far it will go.

The notion that one family is doing nothing but harm while another is preventing tragedy and/or picking up the pieces is hammered home several times; then, of course, there’s the metaphor of the duck with the wounded wing.

But first-time feature director Stone winds the allegory into scenes of such authenticity that we don’t mind.

The Daughter is further elevated by excellent, natural performances from veterans and newbies alike. Leslie, in particular, delivers a standout portrayal: everyman optimism shattered by unthinkable betrayal.

There is loss of innocence, death, and grief unheeded; of living the life you didn’t expect and the destructive power of secrets.

So long as there are people like Stone carefully curating them, such themes will never go out of style.

BRIGHTLIGHTS! by Paul McGrath Barn Burner The District of North Vancouver Firefighters Charitable Society hosted their inaugural Barn Burner fundraising event on the night of May 26 at Lower Lonsdale’s Pipe Shop. The concert, featuring North Shore bands Odds, Barney Bentall and son Dustin Bentall and their bands, Tom Taylor of She Stole My Beer, and special guests including Spirit of the West’s John Mann, was a sold-out success. Global B.C.’s Kate Gajdosik served as MC and City of North Vancouver Mayor Darrell Mussatto gave an opening address. Two guitars autographed by the musicians were up for live auction and a 50/50 draw helped to raise funds for the new youth mental health unit at the HOpe Centre in North Vancouver.

Marc Ribot’s Ceramic Dog pleasing to the ears Power trio play for keeps at jazz fest ! Marc Ribot’s Ceramic Dog, Capilano University Centre for the Performing Arts, tonight at 8 p.m. For more information visit coastaljazz.ca.

JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

A ruse got him into the band.

There was talent, timing, and that similarity of taste that turns into musical kinship – but if it wasn’t for one eggshell-white lie – Ches Smith might never have hit drums for Ceramic Dog. Bass player Shahzad Ismaily asked if Smith ever heard of a guy named Marc Ribot.

Marc Ribot? The guitarist who turned Beatles tunes into blues licks that sounded more like the Mississippi Delta than Liverpool Bay? The guy who kept up with Tom Waits when the illegitimate love child of Frank Sinatra and his whiskeylubricated piano were going places they’d never been before?

Marc Ribot, Ches Smith and Shahzad Ismaily are Ceramic Dog. The New York City trio perform tonight at Capilano University on the opening weekend of this year’s TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival. PHOTO SUPPLIED BARBARA RIGON said – or at least, that’s how Smith remembers it.

Smith has a tendency to be busy. He crafts jazz-tinged, twisted pop for MadLove, he and Ismaily concoct musical experiments for Secret Chiefs 3; his sticks whisper across the cymbals when playing jazz for Tim Berne’s Snakeoil and they pound the snares like they owe him money for metal group Tanks.

Stuck between not quite believing Ismaily but not quite disbelieving him, either, Smith prepared for his audition date – which he was assured had been confirmed.

“I found out later that it was the morning of the so-called audition that Ismaily had actually got a hold of Marc and set it up for the same day,” he says. “Not even close to confirmed at all, but it somehow magically worked out.”

Playing with Ribot presented its own challenges.

Musical charts can resemble slapdash inkblots, but Smith reports that Ribot’s charts

That guy?

Yeah, Smith had heard of him.

“He’s looking for a drummer and I was wondering if you wanted to come out and maybe try out for this new band in New York,” Ismaily

“I had a drum teacher, he was always telling me about Tony Williams on Miles Davis records,” Smith remembers.

“He was also into a lot of rock and punk rock, so he was someone I could trust.”

He fell under the spell of Williams, Elvin Jones, and legendary drummer and bandleader Chick Webb.

“It wasn’t long before that was all I was listening to.”

That emphasis on improvisation is part of the reason Smith can pivot from dark metal to blue jazz without missing a beat.

“I like the challenge of playing a lot of different kinds of music,” he says.

He’ll likely have that challenge tonight at Capilano University.

“Marc had this idea that all three of us individually – without talking to each other – are going to bring in setlists to see if we magically all wrote the same setlist,” he says, laughing. “I’m going to jam mine full of the newest things.”

They don’t have homes or families, Ribot spits at online music thieves, “We’re slaves who only live to serve the Masters of the Internet.”

“The earliest stuff was most aggressive,” Smith explains.

“And then it’s also teetered on this balance between metal music and more groove-oriented stuff.”

Smith has a long history of teetering.

As a kid, drumming was almost a neighbourhood sport.

His big brother set off for a house down the block full of young kids playing fills and drum rolls, and, in the spirit of little brothers everywhere, he followed.

“I was just trying to hang with the big kids,” he recalls.

Smith played along with his mom’s Beatles records, later incorporating influences from Rolling Stones’ drummer Charlie Watts and Led Zeppelin madman John Bonham.

At 16, he found jazz.

verge on the Rorschachian.

“He’ll just write it down once and then work with that, which means a lot of crossing out and then sometimes arrows pointing back at the thing he crossed out, like, ‘No, I do mean play this, actually.’”

Smith, Ismaily and Ribot became Ceramic Dog. “What’s unique about this band,” Smith explains, “especially for a New York band, is we just get together to practise and write for fun.”

After initially cultivating the kind of sound you’d cross the street to avoid passing on the sidewalk, Ceramic Dog has lessened their hostility – a bit.

Their most recent release, 2013’s Your Turn, opens with a track that marries grunge-like guitar distortion to singalong choruses that wouldn’t sound out of place on a Lynrd Skynrd record.

The standout track is likely “Masters of the Internet,” an incendiary tune backed by a rhythm made for stomping with a vaguely Middle Eastern

Improvisation important to the sound

From page 11

roads quite a bit since, though.

NSN: What was the band you were playing with?

Derek Trucks: It was a blues band out of Jacksonville, Florida at the time. The lead singer was from Oklahoma.

His name was Ace Moreland and the band was called Ace Moreland and the West Side Story. I think the club we played at the time was called Downtown Brown’s. It was this little club that was underground right across from the park. The main festival was across in the park and we played in this little club and I would sit in for two or three songs a set.

NSN: You do have sports in the blood as well through baseball pitcher Virgil Trucks.

Is sports still a part of your life?

Derek Trucks: Oh yea, we’re big sports fans. My son is a baseball player, a great pitcher and third baseman. He’s 14 now so he keeps that alive. Big sports fans, I mean we have Jaguar seasons tickets. It’s been slow going the last few years but we’ve seen a few of the Seahawks SuperBowls too – we were there for the win and the loss unfortunately.

NSN: Duane Allman pops up a lot in connection with you and your music. When did you first become aware of him as a kid?

Derek Trucks: As far back as I can remember. I remember my dad putting me and my brother to sleep by playing vinyl in our room. It would be the Fillmore East and Eat a Peach and those records. The Layla record. That music was always there long before I was playing. Really my first musical memories are of those albums spinning. (NSN: Almost like lullabies). Totally and looking back on it I remember when I finally joined the Allman Brothers and starting to learn those tunes a lot of it felt second nature. It was all in the subconscious I had heard it so much growing up that it really did feel like it was second nature.

NSN: What does Duane’s legacy mean to you?

Derek Trucks: He was an important figure. I think the fact that he went out so young.

He had just this incredible integrity and fierceness to his playing – and certainly being around for the 15 years that I was in it, his leadership from the early days still loomed large over that group. He was a powerful character. You could see with my uncle and Gregg

You are always searching for the deepest part of the well. I think when it comes to Indian classical, someone like Ali Akbar Khan certainly occupies that space and I think John Coltrane in jazz is one of those characters so I kind of went down both of those worm holes and you know you never stop listening, you never stop learning from those things.

– Derek Trucks and Jaimoe he was almost a religious figure for those guys.

He was a serious leader. I think his vision for that group and that it was very much a band, not him and his brother and some sidemen, that’s big reason that music has carried on. A lot of other things have come and gone but the forcefulness of that music has transcended everything else.

NSN: Improvisation plays a big part in your sound. How did you get interested in Indian classical music and jazz? Two vast categories in themselves.

Derek Trucks: I guess I was 13, 14 years old – I was touring with Col. Bruce Hampton and the Aquarium Rescue Unit.

The Colonel is sort of this southeastern musical guru

Celebrating 30 years of service on the North Shore!

kind of like a Zappa figure but a bit different. He turned me on to (John Coltrane’s) A Love Supreme and Giant Steps and Sun Ra records when I was really young. Just the way he would speak about music it really opened up a lot of doors.

A drummer I was playing who also played with the Colonel, Jeff Sipe, turned me on to Ali Akbar Khan and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Just amazing musical traditions, both of them.

You know you are always searching for the deepest part of the well. I think when it comes to Indian classical, someone like Ali Akbar Khan certainly occupies that space and I think John Coltrane in jazz is one of those characters so I kind of went down both of those worm holes

and you know you never stop listening, you never stop learning from those things.

NSN: What a musical education you got there on the road.

Derek Trucks: Absolutely. A lot of what we do is certainly meeting the right people at the right time that kind of sets you off on different paths and I was kind of lucky to run into that crew when I did.

NSN: Did you study with Ali Akbar Khan?

Derek Trucks: I never got to fully study with him. Whenever we would travel out to San Rafael around San Francisco we would go visit his college and sit in on classes. I was always on the road I never got to jump fully in. It was certainly an education sitting in. He would make all the instrumentalists take vocal classes because his thing was you should be singing the melodies through your instrument. A lot of those lessons definitely took.

NSN: You play a wide range of music, including instrumental pieces, how does Susan’s vocals fit into your music?

Derek Trucks: I think in some ways it was full circle for me

Tedeschi Trucks Band builds on Allman legacy

From page 21

because growing up really keying in on records like the Fillmore East, Eat a Peach and the Dominos stuff it was always that balance between improvisation and these amazing instrumental sections and passages and great songs and a great vocalist.

That’s always where my roots have been and then as you’re growing and learning and going down different paths you’re experimenting and you’re trying all these different things. I think for me the perfect setup was always trying to find a place where you could wander as far as you wanted to musically but there was still a great song and a great vocalist there.

This has been in a lot of ways all of that coming to fruition finally.

NSN: That explains the new album to a T. There is an organic nature to the band and that’s amazing considering how large it is.

Derek Trucks: It takes time gigging and playing together and learning each other to get to that point but I feel like when we started recording this record it certainly jelled.

I feel like the band in a lot of ways came into its own around this time. Everybody wrote the songs together. I felt there was a lot of synergy and a lot of great music that appeared around that time.

NSN: How does the writing process work with the band?

Do you set time aside in your home studio? Do you make time on the road?

Derek Trucks: We do it in different ways. Some of the ideas will come up at a soundcheck and we’ll record them and try and remember them. A lot of it is just spontaneous in the studio. Some of the songs will come in as sketches. Mike Mattison will have a sketch or me and Doyle will write a few tunes together and then we get together with the band and the songs expand from there.

A lot of times we’ll get the core of the band, the rhythm section, me and Susan and just play. A lot of ideas come out of that. At least this time around - it was pretty spontaneous the way the record came together. We were really getting together to rehearse for a tour and maybe work up some new tunes just to gig. There were so many new song ideas that were floating around we (changed things around) and turned it into a recording session. Once we started down that road there was no stopping it. It’s nice when it turns out that way. I could feel that the band was kind of chomping at the bit to get back in. It was really

Husband and wife team Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi put their solo bands on hold to form the Tedeschi Trucks Band in 2010. PHOTO SUPPLIED productive last go-round so everybody was ready to hit the studio and start the writing process again. I’m certainly ready.

NSN: What are the logistics of getting everybody together?

Derek Trucks: It’s a feat keeping 12 people on the road and all that goes with it. Generally we’ll fly the core of the band in first and get started with a smaller band, five or six piece, and then we’ll have the horn section come in and then the singers but it’s easier just to get started with the core. It seems to move a little more fluid that way.

NSN: How did the Mad Dogs and Englishmen concert come about last year at the Lockn’ Festival in Arrington, Virginia?

Derek Trucks: They’re always trying to get artists to collaborate, maybe a band and a solo artist, and they had come to us about Joe Cocker sitting in with our group at that festival.

We were certainly into the idea, we had reached out to him and he was interested.

About the time we started going down that road he got sick and then we heard he wasn’t going to be touring.

The next thing we know he passed away.

That next year the festival asked us to do a Joe Cocker tribute. I didn’t feel totally comfortable doing it, we’d only talked briefly and I didn’t (know him very well).

We talked about the Mad

Dogs thing and I knew Leon (Russell). We’d just played with Leon and if he was into it we would certainly be a backing band for him and any of the Mad Dogs if it was something that he was interested in.

I didn’t think he would really be into it just because it was a one-time tour. You never know how people feel about those things but we reached out to Leon and to our surprise he was into the idea of doing it with our band. We started reaching out to Rita Coolidge and Claudia Lennear and Bobby Torres and Chris Stainton, who I played with in the Clapton band, and everybody was just excited to do it. And then people started reaching out to us who had been a part of the band when word started getting out. Our thing was whoever was there ‘Come on.’

We ended up having 22 people on stage between their band and our band it was a pretty amazing three or four days I’ve got to say. It was just this amazing reunion 40 years since they had done it and the music was better than I had even hoped. Those things can go a few different ways but that one exceeded everybody’s expectations. It really was a magical few days.

NSN: Would you ever do something like that again?

Derek Trucks: Maybe. It went so well part of me wants to

leave it there. I feel if you keep on going back to the well it won’t have the same spirit.

There’s something nice about it just ending on top at least our portion of it. It was so good I know it would be fun to do it again. My gut tells me it should just be a stand-alone thing.

NSN: Looking at your tour itinerary the Beacon Theatre looms large at the end of the summer. What does that venue mean to you?

Derek Trucks: In some ways I feel it’s a great way for the band to check in and it’s a great test for the band every year to go back to the same place. You have to make sure you’ve made significant progress from one year to the next. When you’re doing six nights you want to make sure you can make each one of the six nights different musically and work at a high level. I feel it’s like a self-imposed challenge every year to go in there as a band and raise the bar a little bit. I probably played 150, 175 shows with the Allman Brothers in that room. That room feels very much like home and in some ways we wanted to carry on that tradition. We moved it to a different time of year so it wasn’t fully tied to that.

New York’s an amazing place that’s certainly something we gear up for every year. It feels like the playoffs. You’ve got to be on it when you hit the Beacon Theatre.

FASHION FILE 30

Argyle student enters pageant CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

A North Vancouver high schooler is vying for the Miss Teen BC crown.

Tamara Akpo, a Grade 11 student at Argyle secondary, is among 55 contestants from across the province who will compete for the titles of Miss BC, Mrs. BC and Miss Teen BC over the Canada Day long weekend.

This is the first time the 16-yearold has participated in a pageant, though she’s watched them on TV. “I did some research on pageants and found Miss Teen BC and thought it would be cool to join,” she says.

Akpo is being sponsored in her bid for the crown by Pro Nursing Homecare Support. She and the 17 other contestants in the teen division will be evaluated in four categories: personal expression in sportswear; personal expression in an evening gown; a private interview with the judging panel; and a public onstage interview in the final showcase, which takes place July 3 at the Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley.

Contestants are also encouraged to raise money for the Miss BC program’s charity of choice, Cops for Cancer. To date, the pageant has raised more than $259,000 for the cause.

Leading up to the final show and crowning event, Akpo and her fellow hopefuls will receive training in modelling, interviewing, manners and etiquette, self-defence, choreography and self-esteem and assertiveness.

Miss BC is not a “beauty”

pageant, according to its website.

Rather, the mission of the program is to recognize young women for their personal accomplishments and community involvement. It seeks to help contestants achieve their goals through workshops and seminars that help enhance selfesteem and personal development.

And unlike many other pageants, there is no maximum age limit to enter and there aren’t any height or weight restrictions.

In her spare time, Akpo works as a background performer in film and TV and is a member of Argyle’s basketball and cheerleading teams.

She also enjoys working out at the gym and cooking.

“I like being involved with the community and helping people,” she says, noting she volunteers with kids at her church and hopes to also do some volunteer work at Lions Gate Hospital.

If she wins the Miss Teen BC title, she could go on to compete in a national pageant and eventually represent Canada on the world stage.

In addition to the big three titleholders – Miss BC, Mrs. BC and Miss Teen BC – there will also be winners announced in regional categories such as Miss Lower Mainland and Miss Vancouver Island, among others. Meanwhile, the public is invited to vote for their favourite contestant for the People’s Choice Award at missbc.ca until June 29.

The various Miss BC titleholders attend community events, represent charities and act as role models for other young people.

The final pageant will be broadcast on Shaw TV.

North Vancouver resident Tamara Akpo, 16, will compete for the title of Miss Teen BC.

Be cautious when purchasing cosmetics online: Health Canada Health Canada issued a warning last month informing consumers of potential risks from buying products online.

We shop, you drive up, PICK UP FROM OUR REFRIGERATED LOCKERS and take off!

.com

According to a press release, in recent years, an increasing number of consumer products and cosmetics from around the world have become available for purchase online, but not all of them meet Canadian laws and regulations. Health Canada says consumers should be aware that some products found online could be prohibited in Canada, or may have been recalled from the Canadian market for failing to meet health or safety requirements. There is also a risk that products and cosmetics purchased online are counterfeit, or not as advertised.

What you should do?

For the protection of health and safety, it is important that consumers make informed decisions about any consumer products or cosmetics they purchase online. Consumers can take the following steps to protect themselves before purchasing products online: % -?#18 >?# ;#1566@ 520 95"#>' /6#!>@ Database for information about products that have been recalled. Consumer products,

including children’s toys, can be recalled for health and safety reasons. % -?#18 >?# -52505 .&!0#! 9#!:=1#@ Agency website to find out about what you can and cannot have shipped into the country. .#"&!# <@=2A 52' $!&0<1> &! 1&@4#>=1, consumers should read and follow age recommendations, warnings, safety messages and instructions.

What Health Canada is doing?

In Canada, consumer products are regu65>#0 3' >?# -52505 -&2@<4#! *!&0<1> 95"#>' Act and cosmetics are regulated under the (&&0 520 +!<A@ /1>) .&>? 657@ =216<0# $!&?=bitions on the sale of products that may pose a risk to health. These allow Health Canada to quickly respond to any health concerns and work with industry to remove unsafe products from the market.

Report health and safety concerns If you have a health and safety concern with a consumer product or cosmetic, report it to the manufacturer or retailer it was brought from, or to Health Canada.

Tosoff returns home with Words project CapU grad bringing new tunes to jazz fest showcase

! Amanda Tosoff Words CD release, Thursday, June 30, 8 p.m. at Frankie’s Jazz Club, 765 Beatty St., Vancouver. $15. Part of the TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival.

Visit coastaljazz.ca for tickets and info.

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

Amanda Tosoff has a way with words.

Her fifth album, fittingly titled Words, marks the first time the Toronto-based jazz musician has incorporated vocals into her compositions. The nine new tracks feature not her own words, mind you, but a medley of poems and lyrics from classic English literature, the contemporary Canadian repertoire, and her own family members – all set to her original music.

The new release is “a bit of a departure from what I’ve done in the past” notes the Capilano University

Amanda Tosoff plays Frankie’s Jazz Club on June 30 as part of this year’s TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival. PHOTO SUPPLIED grad, whose last four albums focused mainly on instrumental modern jazz.

“This project is a little different because it involves poems that I’ve found that really speak to me,” Tosoff says. “Because of that, it naturally morphed into something a little bit different. It’s got elements of jazz, obviously, but also a bit of folk, a bit of pop, a bit of classical as well.”

The eclectic album was released back in March, and Tosoff is now taking it on the road for a jazz festival tour, which includes a stop in Vancouver June 30 as part of the TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival.

Joining her on tour are vocalist Felicity Williams, guitarist Alex Goodman, bassist Jon Maharaj and drummer Morgan Childs, all of whom are featured on the recording.

The opening track is a light and ethereal musical adaptation of William Wordsworth’s “Daffodils” – one of Tosoff’s longtime

added instrumentation to capture the mood. “It just came out naturally,” she says.

Tosoff was raised in a musical household – not surprising considering the heavy presence of her relatives on her latest album.

“My family is quite musical. My mom played classical piano growing up, my dad’s written country songs and would always play, and my whole extended family is also very musical.”

She developed a passion for music as a high school student at White Rock’s Semiahmoo secondary.

“They have a fantastic music program and that’s where I got really interested and saw it was something I could pursue,” she says. “I played some other instruments along the way, but piano was always the one that was my favourite.”

It was in high school that Tosoff found herself drawn

favourite poems. She’s also written melodies to accompany contemporary Canadian poems, such as “Owl Pellet” by Tim Bowling and “The First Day of Winter” by Laura Lush.

Tosoff’s sister, Melissa Mansfield, contributed lyrics for two songs on the album, and her father and uncle, Lloyd and Ted Tosoff, both singer-songwriters, wrote the words to “Living in the Past.”

“It’s a bit of a mix of material,” Tosoff says, admitting she’s not exactly a poetry buff and only recently discovered some of the writers she decided to feature.

“I just came across their poems and was so moved by them that I had to write.”

The process of setting pre-written material to music was an improvisational one for Tosoff. She’d sit at her piano, try singing the first line, record it, and listen back. From there, she

to jazz and she went on to study the genre at Capilano University. Since then, she’s performed with internationally recognized artists such as Ingrid Jensen, EmilieClaire Barlow, Phil Dwyer, Christine Jensen, Brad Turner, Kelly Jefferson, and Jodi Proznick. She received the CBC Galaxie Rising Star Award at the 2007 Vancouver International Jazz Festival and the General Motors Grand Prix de Jazz at the 2009 Montreal Jazz Festival.

She also earned a master’s degree from the University of Toronto.

Tosoff says she’s eager to return to Vancouver to perform in front of her hometown family and friends.

“I don’t think I would even be a musician if it weren’t for the Vancouver community and all my teachers and colleagues,” she says. “I’m just really, really excited to come home.”

Bantock completes Griffin and Sabine series ! The Pharos Gate by Nick Bantock, Chronicle Books, $34.95, 60 pages.

It has been 25 years since Nick Bantock drew us into the fantastic world of Griffin and Sabine. These unlikely lovers brought us joy and sadness, hope and despair as we took a voyeuristic look into their relationship through the incredibly clever presentation

Bantock created.

In this final instalment in their struggle to be together we are privy to their correspondence, once again provided through postcards and letters that we take from the included envelopes to open and read, and illustrated by the stunning illustrations Bantock produces.

There has never been a

Chevrolet has jumped back in to the mid-size pickup market with the Colorado, a vehicle that offers the benefits of owning a truck while still being agile enough to get you around a busy city.

The cabin is modern and comfortable, and the Colorado’s new turbo-diesel is probably the best engine in this segment. PHOTO SUPPLIED

Colorado makes a statement General Motors is the first of the Big Three to return to the midsize pickup truck market with the Chevrolet Colorado.

For the last few years, if you were looking for a compact or mid-size pickup, there was little choice. After the domestic manufacturers left the market, customers had to decide between the Toyota Tacoma or Nissan Frontier.

The introduction of the

Behind The Wheel David Chao

all-new Colorado in 2015 – along with its sister model, the GMC Canyon – added another viable option in the market place. For 2016, a new four-cylinder Duramax diesel engine became available, as well as a new technology like Apple CarPlay.

With Chevrolet making such a strong comeback, Toyota and Nissan will need to kick it up a notch in order to retain their market share.

DESIGN Although primarily designed for people who want to do traditional truck activities like towing and hauling, Chevrolet also wanted to ensure that the Colorado can handle everyday city life like parking.

Seeking to separate itself from the rest of Chevy’s truck lineup, the Colorado has a sportier look. GM focused on aerodynamics and gave it

active grille shutters, a tailgate spoiler, and a removable front air dam.

To help keep weight down, the Colorado uses lightweight materials including a segment-first aluminium hood.

While there’s no arguing that the Colorado is a middleweight, it is still built like a heavyweight. Like the Silverado, the Colorado has a fully boxed perimeter frame,

which provides the strength to support its capabilities, as well as a comfortable ride.

Customers have the choice between on Extended Cab model with a six-foottwo-inch bed, a Crew Cab with a five-two bed, or a Crew Cab with a six-two bed. The six-two bed allows one to haul eight-foot-long items with the tailgate down.

FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 2016

Drunk driving laws not tough enough I enjoy driving – I find it a pleasure and a joy.

Last Saturday I got up at 5 a.m. in a cabin east of Lillooet and drove 1,000 kilometres in a single day, honking up the highway (responsibly) to Bella Coola and back down through the Fraser Canyon’s tunnels. It was absolutely wonderful, and if I’d been previously caught driving while under the influence of alcohol, it’s the kind of thing that should absolutely be denied to me. Driving is my privilege; it is not my right.

There have been several high-profile cases of impaired driving recently, both locally and nationally. It’s a story we hear all too often, where a drunk driver kills or injures somebody who was just trying to get home safely. I’m sick of reading about it, and it needs to stop.

There are multiple definitions of driving while impaired, alcohol and distracted driving being the most common. Texting and driving still makes the headlines these days, as drinking and driving is no longer socially acceptable. Texting and driving is potentially just as dangerous, but it’s in the public eye these days, and the police appear to have

Grinding Gears Brendan McAleer multiple tools to deal with it, and the penalties are growing in severity.

But it’s disturbing that drinking and driving is still such a problem. Still. Why? It’s even more disturbing that people who are caught driving while under the influence seem to wriggle away. The current minimum is a 24-hour roadside suspension, which while inconvenient, is hardly a deterrent.

There are two things that will prevent this sort of thing from happening, hopefully within my lifetime. The first is technology: the semi-autonomous car is already making roads safer, with automatic braking systems that can stop a car quicker than any human’s reaction time, impaired or not. Initially only

North Vancouver RCMP Const. Jas Dosanjh talks to a driver at a roadside checkstop. Police do an admirable job of catching impaired drivers, but the penalties for those who get busted need to be stiffer, writes Brendan McAleer. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD available in luxury vehicles, this tech is trickling into Hondas and Toyotas, with the latter planning on rolling out a suite of driver aids as standard equipment.

As a result, cars may get more expensive. Again, driving is a privilege, and we’ve grown to accept and expect everything from standard airbags to backup cameras.

Some time in the future, somebody will climb into their car after having had one too many, and head home after dark. They won’t see the pedestrian crossing at

the light – but their car will.

Nobody will get hurt. I hope it happens sooner rather than later.

Rugged truck bed rigged for hauling From page 43

The inside of the Colorado is quiet and comfortable, making it a refined environment. All the controls are easy to use and the front seats are surprisingly comfortable. PHOTO SUPPLIED

North Shore’s Newest Auto Dealership

Speaking about the tailgate, Chevrolet’s EZ Liftand-Lower tailgate is simple to lift with one hand and it lowers in a controlled and quiet manner. The standard CornerStep rear bumper makes climbing into the bed easy and the available factory-installed spray-in bedliner adds further refinement.

Boasting plenty of versatility, the Colorado comes with a two-tier bed and 13 tie-down locations with available movable cargo tie-down rings.

North Shore Kia relocates to it’s freshly built store.

The Dick Irwin Group, North Vancouver’s family car dealer since 1969 and the oldest car dealership group on Vancouver’s North Shore, has a fresh face. Since 1973, The Dick Irwin Group had operated 3 franchises at its location at 725 Marine Drive in North Vancouver. This year they constructed a new location conveniently situated at 855 W 1st Street in North Vancouver. The new space is better suited for its growing Kia Motors Dealership, not only for staff and customers, but also for local residents, for the

surrounding community, and the City’s vision of the Marine Drive corridor.

A number of key elements and industry firsts will be found at this state of the art location including:

Environmental design elements in building engineering and construction: • LED indoor and outdoor lighting • Permeable paving allowing for more natural groundwater collection • Light pollution reduction technology • Water efficient landscaping • Native plant species used in landscaping • Water actuated hoists

Improved customer experience: • Courtesy bikes • Staff and customer bike parking • Indoor/Outdoor naturally influenced elements for customer Local job, career, and lifestyle opportunities: experience • Eco friendly car wash • Vehicle charging stations • Connection to Lonsdale Energy Corporation (LEC) high efficiency energy North Shore Kia is officially open.

• Number of full time jobs to increase by 1/3rd by the year 2020.

• Opportunity for mixed mode commuting for staff and customers (cycling, walking, driving, shuttle service, transit and car sharing) • Within walking distance of affordable housing opportunities Stop by North Shore Kia at 855 West 1st Street and see for yourself.

PERFORMANCE The base engine is a 2.5-litre inline four-cylinder; with 200 horsepower and 191 foot-pounds of torque it is surprisingly strong and anyone with this motor will be happy with its all-around performance.

See Smooth page 50

It’s time to end the 24-hour suspension From page 44

The new North Shore Kia dealership.

The Colorado is also available with a whole host of work and lifestyle accessories. These include a bed-mounted sports bar which gives it a rugged offroad appearance.

Unfortunately, with Canadians keeping our cars an average of around seven years, it’ll be a long time before technology is able to save us from ourselves. But there is something we can do sooner, and it’s to call for the end of the 24-hour suspension. It’s simply not enough.

Driving while impaired is dangerous enough that the first offence needs to be treated with full and severe punishment.

While I’d like to joke that offenders be placed in a pillory at Lonsdale Quay, or that they be catapulted into Burrard Inlet, this is simple and serious advice. The mandatory minimum suspension should be 90 days, effective immediately upon getting busted at the side of the road.

Ninety days of taxicabs, buses, and just plain using your legs is enough to leave a lasting memory. Those who screw up will think twice about doing it again. The guy who wonders aloud why I’m turning down the lunchtime beer won’t wonder any more.

If you drive through Lion’s Bay completely sober at

100-plus kilometres per hour, they’ll take your car away.

The road there seems easily safe enough to support the speed, but the deterrent is enough to have people lift their foot off the gas. Some folks still go 90 km/h, but at least they’re thinking about the potential for major fines and confiscation and backing off at least that much.

Similarly, the consequences for drinking and driving should be so extreme as to be in the back of your mind before you get in your car. It should be such a pain in the ass to get caught that you’ll deal with leaving the car parked and picking it up the next day.

In short, the driver should face the consequences before the public has to. I’ve had enough of this sort of nonsense. I expect you have as well.

Distracted driving fines go way up New distracted driving penalties effective as of June 1 in British Columbia mean higher fines, more penalty points and possible driving prohibitions for repeat offenders.

Each distracted driving offence is now calculated using the fine of $368, (up from $167) combined with escalating Insurance Corporation of British Columbia driver penalty point premiums and possible driving prohibitions. * The base fine has increased to $368. * The number of penalty points per infraction is now four (up from three). * ICBC driver penalty point premiums start at $175 for the first four penalty points and escalate to a minimum $520 for a second offence within the same 12-month period. * First-time offenders face a minimum $543 in financial penalties. * Repeat offenders, upon a second offence within 12 months will pay the $368 fine plus $520 for a total of $888 in financial penalties, which escalate further for any additional offence.

Distracted driving is now considered a high-risk driving offence, which makes it equivalent to excessive speeding, driving without due care and attention, and driving without reasonable consideration. Repeat offenders will have their driving record subject to automatic review, which could result in a three-to-12-month driving prohibition.

More than 250 tickets handed out over May long weekend From page 48

QUICK FACTS: * On the 2016 Victoria Day weekend, officers from BC RCMP provincial Integrated Road Safety Units handed out 264 tickets to distracted drivers for driving without due care and attention or driving without reasonable consideration. That number is up from the same weekend in 2015 when 199 tickets were issued.

Graduated Licensing Program (GLP) drivers face intervention after a first distracted driving offence and a possible prohibition of up to six months. The superintendent of motor vehicles also has discretion to prohibit drivers based on referrals from either ICBC or police.

* During ICBC’s Distracted Driving Awareness Month (March 2016) a police road safety unit in Kelowna handed out 37 violation tickets for distracted driving and inattention in less than three hours. * In 2014, distracted driving and inattention was a contributing factor in killing 66 people and seriously injuring 630 more on B.C. roads.

Smooth diesel engine sets Colorado apart

From page 46

Standard on LT and Z71 models is a 3.6-litre V-6. Its 305 h.p. is clearly much stronger, and its 269 foot-pounds of torque is quite impressive indeed.

However, the premium engine is a 2.8-litre turbodiesel inline-four. This motor boasts 100 more foot-pounds of torque than the V-6, with 369, and its 181 h.p. provides a smoother driving experience than either of the gasoline engines.

All engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. If you want a six-speed manual, you can get one on 2WD Extended Cab models

$4,000

with the 2.5-litre I4 engine.

Also, all models are available in two-wheel or four-wheel drive configuration. The four-wheel drive system employs an electronically controlled transfer case that allows the driver to shift from 2WD and 4WD. Around town, the 2016 Colorado offers a smooth, surprisingly quiet ride. While it won’t be confused for an SUV, it is more comfortable than traditional midsize pickup trucks. Also helping with city life, it has a short turning radius. The steering feel is also very good for a truck, with better-than-average road feel.

The new Colorado is also

no slouch in terms of hauling capability. The V-6 model boasts up to 1,590 pounds of payload and up to 7,000 pounds maximum trailering.

The turbo-diesel takes it further with a maximum trailering rating of 7,600 pounds.

ENVIRONMENT While the Colorado seeks to please traditional truck buyers under the hood, it looks to attract new customers in the cabin.

On the whole, the inside of the Colorado is quiet and comfortable making it a refined environment. All the

Colorado features surprisingly sharp handling for a truck controls are easy to use and the front seats are surprisingly comfortable. In Crew Cab models there is great amount of room in the rear seats.

Customers coming from an SUV will appreciate all the premium features available in the Colorado. Options like heated seats, Apple CarPlay and an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system are highlights that are typically not offered in trucks.

In an effort to not alienate those who appreciate the ruggedness of a truck, the Colorado still uses tough plastics and durable seat upholstery. Leatherappointed seating is available if you prefer.

The standard radio comes with one USB port, but the upgraded system ups that to four. And of course, GM’s OnStar with 4G LTE and builtin Wi-Fi hotspot is available.

FEATURES Starting prices for the 2016 Colorado range from $21,420 to $38,030.

Standard equipment includes power windows and locks, six-speaker audio system, rearview camera, cargo box light, and a locking tailgate.

Additional features, available as options or on higher trims, include keyless entry, remote start, auto-dimming rearview mirror, heated

exterior mirrors, chrome accents, and numerous box customization items.

Fuel efficiency numbers (litres/100 kilometres for the gas four-cylinder are 11.9 city and 8.9 highway. The V-6 returns 13.6 city and 9.9 highway. The new diesel is rated at 10.8 city and 7.7 highway.

THUMBS UP The Colorado’s new turbodiesel is probably the best engine in this segment. Also, the cabin is very modern and comfortable for a pickup truck. Good handling.

THUMBS DOWN If you frequently tow more than 7,700 pounds, you will be better served by a full-size pickup. Also, the Colorado is not the strongest off-road vehicle.

THE BOTTOM LINE If you want a truck, but don’t like the large-truck hassles that come with them, check out the Chevrolet Colorado which offers a great combo between a truck and a SUV.

Competitors TOYOTA TACOMA Until the release of the Colorado, the Tacoma basically owned the mid-size truck segment. The Tacoma is still the standard in the industry.
