INDIAN ARM

Two homes burned in Brighton Beach fire JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

A fire swept over two Indian Arm properties early Thursday morning, razing both a home under construction and a cottage while threatening nearby forest.

The boat-access community was awakened to the sound of airhorns alerting residents to the growing blaze, according to neighbour William Marshall.

“By the time I got outside, both houses were fully engulfed, absolutely no way of saving them,” he said. “Mount Seymour was one breath of wind away from going up as well.”

After receiving a call at 5:04 a.m., firefighters were ferried to Brighton Beach by Vancouver Fire Boat 5, which picked up the crew at a Deep Cove dock, according to District of North Vancouver assistant fire chief Jim Bonneville.

With no hydrants handy and no way of getting a fire truck to the secluded community, firefighters arrived on the

Celebrated sculptor has passport seized JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

A celebrated sculptor who has been barred from leaving his home country of Iran is hopeful he will be free to travel again following a court hearing in that country Saturday.

Parviz Tanavoli, who divides his time between Tehran, Iran and West Vancouver, had his passport seized by authorities and was stopped from leaving Iran in the past week.

Repeated inquiries regarding the sudden revocation of his passport were met with cursory explanations, according to the artist and author.

Tanavoli had been scheduled to appear at the British

PAUL SULLIVAN: B.C. IS THE REAL GAMBLING ADDICT IN CASINO GAME PAGE 8

Boat bandit crashes into Bowen Island West Van’s RCM-SAR find vessel wreck MARIA SPITALE-LEISK mspitale-leisk@nsnews.com

An alleged four-day crime spree across the Strait of Georgia ended in a North Vancouver jail cell Sunday.

Police say the suspect stole a series of boats and vehicles from Salt Spring Island and the Sunshine Coast before crashing a stolen vessel “hard” into some rocks off Bowen Island.

Members of West Vancouver’s Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue Station 1 discovered the wreck. Rescuers were shocked by the “substantial, concerning” amount of blood found inside the boat.

“He broke the entire windshield above the steering wheel with his head,” said Jane Maisonville-Phillips, RCMSAR regional development officer.

Rescuers then tracked him to a guest suite that had apparently been broken into and informed the owners. After

finding a pile of belongings at the front door that did not belong to them, the homeowners opened a bedroom door and saw the suspect sleeping like Goldilocks, said Phillips.

Paramedics stabilized the injured suspect and he was taken away in police custody to Lions Gate Hospital for further treatment.

Police are left to piece together the “unbelievable string of events that would more likely be seen in a James Bond film than around the coastal communities of British Columbia,” said Const.

Harrison Mohr, spokesman for the Sunshine Coast RCMP, which is heading up the multijurisdictional investigation.

Police say the suspect was found with a small amount of what they believe to be methamphetamine.

The man was released from hospital the same day and transported to the North Vancouver RCMP detachment Robert Nicholas Eriksen, a 25-year-old Vancouver Island man, is facing charges including possession of stolen property, three counts of theft of a motor vehicle, three counts of theft over $5,000 and two counts of break and enter.

Tanavoli prevented from leaving Iran at airport From page 1

Museum to promote his new book, European Women in Persian Houses, a chronicle of paintings of western women that frequently adorned homes in the Isfahan province of Iran during the 19th century.

When speaking to arts website hyperallergic. com, Tanavoli said he suspected the book’s cover was the reason he had been detained. The cover depicts a woman wearing a sheer robe.

He has since retained legal counsel and is not worried “as he has not done anything wrong,” wrote his daughter, Tandar Tanavoli.

The 79-year-old artist and collector of Persian artifacts, who has called West Vancouver home since 1989, is spending his days working in his studio while awaiting the court date, according to his daughter.

Canadian consular officials are aware of the issue and standing by to offer assistance, according to Global Affairs Canada media relations officer Rachna Mishra.

Frequently inspired by Persian culture and history, Tanavoli exhibited a 1.5 ton sculpture Oh Persepolis II, a tribute to the ancient city, at

the UBC Museum of Anthropology in 2013.

He began work on the bronze monolith in 1975 but a confluence of reasons, including the Iranian Revolution, prevented him from finishing it at the time.

Tanavoli’s best-known work may be a series of bronze, fibreglass and ceramic sculptures inspired by Heech, the Persian word for nothingness.

“I was thinking, since everybody makes things, I’d like to make nothing,” Tanavoli said.

He graduated from the Tehran School of Arts in 1956 and later became head of the sculpture department at Tehran University from 1964 to 1979.

When discussing his work with the North Shore News in 2013, Tanavoli explained that Islamic restrictions on figurative art had prevented Iran from establishing a strong tradition of sculpture.

However, Tanavoli was effusive in his assessment of Iran’s artistic climate, noting 300 galleries in Tehran.

“It’s unbelievable how it’s flourishing,” he says. “I don’t recall having seen it like this ever before.”

Animal shelter closure worries pet advocates Moving facility to private vet’s clinic creates uncertainty

Sunday, July 10th 1:00pm-3:00pm

Will Stroet (Children’s Entertainer)

lonsdalequay.com #Quay2Summer

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Some animal lovers’ hackles are raised over the District of North Vancouver’s plan to move its animal welfare shelter into a private vet’s office.

The district has already approved a plan that would see the North Vancouver Animal Welfare Shelter on Mansfield Place closed and incorporated into an already-under-construction new MountainSide Animal Hospital & 24 Hour Emergency Services on Capilano Road.

But the space leased to the district for a shelter will be smaller than the existing one, which is slated to become part of the district’s works yard. North Vancouver resident and volunteer Katy Thompson said she worries it will be the four-leggeds paying the price for the move. “(The shelter) has always done such a great job and this whole thing about maybe sourcing it out to vets, it’s kind of scary,” she said. “I’m sure there are other places they could cut back, other than this area.

It just breaks my heart and what they’re going to do is turn (the current shelter) into a parking lot for the tractors.”

With less space, Thompson is concerned the shelter will fill up faster, meaning there will be no room at the inn for some unfortunate dogs.

“Unless there’s a facility where you can take a dog, … all it’s going to do is go back to the old days where people would take a dog, hike up the mountain, tie it to a tree and leave it there to die because now they’ll have nowhere to take it,” she said.

But demand for shelter space has been dropping with fewer strays and less time needed before adoption, according to Dan Milburn, deputy general

manager of planning and permits.

“Twenty five years ago, we just experienced more challenges with dogs at large, animals fighting, getting into garbage and biting.

I think what we’ve seen over the years is that community attitudes have shifted, generally or culturally. We’re seeing a lot more spaying or neutering of animals so there are less unwanted animals. The animals are healthier. People are looking after them better,” he said.

Doggy daycares and commercial dog walkers are also filling a gap, Milburn said.

The existing shelter building has reached the end of its life, he said. Rebuilding on the same spot would no longer be possible under today’s regulations because it is so close to Lynn Creek, Mildburn added.

District staff recommended the move with confidence that MountainSide will continue to offer the same services and level of care that the existing animal welfare shelter has, Milburn said.

“They have a long history

and deep roots working in this area and look forward to working with the circle of volunteers and those people who are interested in animal welfare to find permanent homes for the animals,” he said.

When council voted on the plan last fall, council members were generally enthused about the new vet clinic.

But Coun. Jim Hanson expressed some trepidation about the loss on a community level.

“It provides more benefits than just animal welfare. It’s also a place where people congregate, where people care for animals, a place where people provide volunteer services. ... There was dog therapy going on right before my very eyes,” he said. “Will (the clinic) provide the necessary shelter for the animals? Probably.

Will it provide a gathering place for people concerned about animals? Probably not. ... From my point of view it’s a symbol of how a community treats its most vulnerable,” he said in an interview.

Helicopter doused blaze with buckets scene at about 5:45 a.m. and started dousing the blaze with 900 gallons of ocean water per minute.

The fire started on a home under construction and spread to a Lynn Valley resident’s holiday cottage located approximately 100 feet up a slope.

Despite the best efforts of neighbours wielding garden hoses, the fire swelled to a width of 30 feet.

“The fire started to spread into the trees behind these two lots,” said Mairi Welman, community relations manager with the District of North Vancouver.

After the fire spread to the trees behind the lots, the B.C. Wildfire Service scrambled a Talon helicopter to dump saltwater on the blaze.

The helicopter scooped water from Indian Arm with a bucket attached to 100 feet of longline, according to Peter Murray, owner of Talon Helicopters.

“If there’s a tree that’s starting to torch we can cut down some of the heat and hit (the burning tree),” Murray said.

The Brighton Beach properties are separated from forest by a mossy area which bore the brunt of the blaze, according to B.C. Wildfire Service information officer Marg Drysdale.

The fire was reduced

to a smoulder by 10 a.m., according to Welman, who reported both properties were destroyed.

Fire crews were soaking underbrush and tree roots as rain came down Thursday morning.

“We were really lucky with the weather,” she said.

“We don’t have that tinderdry undergrowth.”

BC Hydro was also on the scene early in the morning to cut power to neighbouring houses along Brighton Beach. There was particular concern after a hydro pole with a transformer caught fire, Marshall said.

District of North Vancouver firefighters conducted what turned out to be a prescient drill last summer to deal with a fire igniting 100 feet up the slope on Indian Arm. The District of North Vancouver crew made use of fireboats from Port Moody and Vancouver during the exercise.

That North Vancouver doesn’t have a fire boat “breaks our hearts,” said Marshall. “Now, whether getting there sooner would’ve done any good I don’t know.”

There have been about six fires along Indian Arm requiring fire boats in the last decade.

A fire inspector was on the scene Thursday morning to investigate the cause of the early morning fire.

A lowball offer

F

inance Minister Mike de Jong has revealed the first stats on foreign buyers in the B.C. real estate market and the numbers are surprisingly low.

From June 10 to 29, only 337 of the 10,148 registered sales in B.C. were to people identifying as foreign nationals.

People frustrated over being frozen out of the market or mystified at their skyrocketing assessments reacted to the 3.3 per cent stat with incredulity, and rightly so.

We asked for North Shore numbers but were told by the province it would be too laborious to produce them, which we don’t accept, particularly when our own realtors tell us the numbers here are significantly higher than reflected in these statistics.

The methods used to collect data leave enough wiggle room to drive a moving truck through. It does not capture homes purchased by proxies. Nor do they make

a distinction for the tens of thousands of people who only got permanent residency through the now-defunct investor immigrant program, or Quebec’s still active version of the same loophole. And, 19 days is a snapshot in time, not a long-term study. It’s worth remembering, Christy Clark’s government was dragged into collecting stats kicking and screaming and the premier has said on numerous occasions, she would not support anything that lowers the values of anyone’s real estate investment.

And the stats still don’t explain why the average home in our region requires mortgage payments higher than the average household income.

While we welcome any new data, we’d suggest we’re still not asking the right questions. The national origin of the people who buy here isn’t so important as the national origin of their money.

B.C. is real gambling addict in casino game

A

casino! That’s what we need.

As you look around at our requirements here on the North Shore, you might ask yourself: “Don’t we need more affordable housing? How about better transportation?

How about a third crossing?”

And I suppose the last thing you might ask yourself is: “Don’t we need a casino?” especially because there’s nothing more useless devised by humankind, unless you find it useful to induce pensioners to throw their pension down a hole, or if you’re looking for a way to launder money.

But North Vancouver city council is infatuated with casinos, nonetheless. And I mean infatuated. Coun. Holly Back, for example, has been quoted in these pages that casinos “actually can be quite beautiful.”

Sorry, Holly, Emerald Lake

CONTACTUS

The North Side Paul Sullivan is beautiful. The Mona Lisa is beautiful. “Circus! Circus!” is not beautiful.

Beauty, I suppose, is in the eye of the beholder, but I suspect what the city really finds beautiful is the 10 per cent of the cut it gets for hosting a casino – which could amount to more than $2 million a year.

It doesn’t appear to matter that the vigorish or whatever you want to call it is mainly a tax on the poor. You know,

those people who don’t have any money and are tempted to spend what little they have trying to get rich playing the slots. (According to the 2014 B.C. Problem Gambling Prevalence Study, 18.9 per cent of gamblers with household incomes under $30,000 are classified as at-risk or problem gamblers.)

Memo to the poor: it’s not going to happen. You have a better chance of being struck by lightning.

As for money laundering, not to worry! The B.C. government recently established a 22-member police group to keep organized crime out of the province’s casinos. There may only be seven full-time park rangers across B.C.’s vast parklands, but the casino problem requires a 22-person task force. Hmm. The real gambling addict is the province, which rakes in more than $1 billion per year from casinos. No wonder the

B.C. Lottery Corporation is actively pursuing the North Shore to expand. So far, only North Van City has answered the call, voting to make a nonbinding expression of interest before the July 15 deadline.

Both North Vancouver District and West Vancouver have taken a pass, as has the Squamish Nation, which may be holding out for its own casino.

As I write, we’ve yet to hear from the other invitee, the Tsleil-Waututh Nation. I can only hope they will join the refusniks.

I may have a bee in my bonnet about casinos. My wife, who enjoys a flutter now and then, sure thinks so. She wonders why I’m so quick to let revenue from “gaming” go to Burnaby or Richmond instead of North Vancouver, where it will no doubt go for much-needed social services.

I guess what really gets under my skin is the sheer

manipulative greed of the casino setup, especially slot machines. Dr. Gerald Thomas, with the Centre of Addictions Research of British Columbia, put it this way: “One of the inducements in high-risk machines, for example, is near misses,” he told a reporter.

“So you have three little things turning there, and all of a sudden it will show you that you’ve almost got the three, you’ve got two out of the three. Those kinds of inducements are designed to keep people at these machines and playing.”

If you’re comfortable with your government luring people to overcome their good sense and self-discipline, then get thee to a casino.

The final bee in my bonnet is that once government got its hooks in, the term magically evolved from “gambling,” which came with baggage and lots of it, to “gaming,” which sounds sporting, like

lawn bowling or croquet. Talk about manipulative.

I realize I’m a voice crying in the wilderness. In terms of sheer numbers, alcohol is a much bigger problem and there are plenty of opportunities on the North Shore for alcoholics to pursue their poison.

There’s an argument that says the minority shouldn’t be allowed to spoil it for majority.

And the odds are most people can enjoy adult pleasures such as gambling and alcohol without circling the drain.

So, says the government: know your limit, play within it.

INQUIRINGREPORTER Will a Canada Post lockout affect you?

Rain, snow, and sleet may not stop our mail carriers, but a lockout surely will. Unless an 11th hour solution is reached, Canada’s envelopes will stay sealed and its deliveries will be confined to maternity wards.

What makes this tale of snail mail fail particularly intriguing is the battle over postal workers’ pensions.

Does a shrinking workforce and expanding liabilities necessitate a two-tiered pension? Are workers entitled to security in retirement? And how will all this affect you?

Follow the money for clues on council’s casino reasoning Dear Editor: “Every breaking wave on the shore Tells the next one there’ll be one more And every gambler knows that to lose Is what you’re really there for” The U2 lyrics aptly capture the dynamic between the gambling industry and North Vancouver city hall.

When one proposal for a casino on the North Shore gets turned aside, you know that another one will follow. And while every gambler knows they are there to lose – or casinos wouldn’t be so profitable – the North Vancouver community will a big loser if this latest proposal slips through.

The other two North Shore local governments quickly dismissed the latest overture by the gambling industry to establish a long sought-after beachhead on the North Shore.

The Squamish council does not think a private casino is a good use of their land.

The city, however, has decided to give the casino operators and the B.C. Lottery Corporation reason to believe there has been a change of

If it is a casino we’re talking about this time, not just slot machines, the waterfront is not at all a suitable location.

Coun. Linda Buchanan, who opposed the last application only a year ago and has a public health background, now says the North Shore’s chief medical and public health officers are “out of date.” Coun. Holly Back, who voted with the mayor in favour of the last unsuccessful proposal, was more direct. The city wants a casino because it wants the money.

Never mind that Coun.

Back would have to participate in public hearings that require her to have an open mind. She “truly believe(s) we will get one in North Vancouver” and therefore would “rather see the money in our (the city’s) purse” than

see it go to the First Nations or another North Shore local government.

If it is a casino we’re talking about this time, not just slot machines, the waterfront is not at all a suitable location.

The well-heeled gamblers that the casinos pursue most ardently don’t ride the SeaBus. They arrive in expensive cars or limos. They want to be near an airport or just off the highway.

The only site in the city that comes close to being suitable is Harry Jerome.

The interminable stalling by the city on rebuilding North Vancouver’s most important community recreation centre now makes more sense.

Like too many things at city hall, you need to follow the money to understand what’s really going on.

HOUSING: PROJECT INCLUDES RENT-CONTROLLED UNITS

Mid-rise apartments approved for LoLo

JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

Despite some neighbours taking a dim view of the project, the City of North Vancouver council approved a new six-storey Lower Lonsdale apartment building recently.

Developer Magnolia House Holdings won the right to replace the six and fiveunit rentals on 362 and 368 East Third St. with a 40-unit apartment building on one consolidated lot, following a split vote.

Describing herself as being “torn” on the project, Coun.

Holly Back cast the decisive vote after concluding the project’s 16 parking spots would be sufficient for younger renters. “It’s shocking to me, but they don’t have cars,” she said.

The project also includes one car-share vehicle.

“You’ll never see me doing that, but it seems to be the way to go,” Back said.

Coun. Don Bell disagreed.

“The density doesn’t concern me so much as the lack of parking for it,” he said.

The building includes five low-cost units that will be rent-controlled for at least five years – not long enough for Coun. Rod Clark.

“We’re not driving a hard enough bargain,” he said, calling for the units to be rent controlled in perpetuity.

The five units were originally going to be low-cost for one year, but after conversations with city staff, developer Nevin Sangha agreed to a five-year commitment.

As long as a tenant moves into one of the low-cost units within five years, their rent would stay below market until they move out. “I expect those units to be low-cost rentals for a lot longer than five years,” Sangha said.

The building includes 13 two- and three-bedroom units, 17 studios, and 10 one-bedroom units.

Discussing what some councillors described as a

Servicing your home comfort system is like servicing your car. The more you take care of it, the better it runs and the happier you are.

An artist’s drawing of what the new mid-rise apartment building will look like. GRAPHIC SUPPLIED parking shortage, Sangha said most residents in the smaller and the low-cost rentals likely won’t have cars.

The project was assailed by neighbour Tanya Oliva, who called the building an “eyesore” that would block her view.

Despite having lived at 362 East Third Street for the last decade, Scott Sorrell supported the development.

“It will provide decent homes for those of us who can’t afford to break into this ridiculous real estate market,” he wrote in a letter to the city.

The new development is necessary, according to Sorrell, who described the two existing buildings as being “not in the best shape.”

The rental buildings on 362 and 368 East Third St. were built in 1977 and 1966.

With vacancy rates “at an all-time low” and rental housing stock at risk, the development is essential, said Coun. Linda Buchanan.

“Keeping our neighbourhoods exactly as they currently are is not really an option,” she said.

Buchanan reminded her colleagues that the project is OCP compliant, embraces active living guidelines and is situated on a transit route.

“If we say no to this, there’s five (low-cost) units that are not going to get built. We will wait forever for someone to build these non-market rental units for us.”

While the area is earmarked for transit improvements, Coun. Pam Bookham pointed out there are no

guarantees.

“We don’t see any evidence of how that’s going to be funded and when that transit will be coming,” she said, describing the development as exacerbating an “already fraught” parking situation.

With the population of neighbouring Moodyville scheduled to quadruple, Mayor Darrell Mussatto said the area will hopefully be a rapid transit corridor within five years. “It’s the right place to put this density,” he said.

At a height of 59.5 feet, the apartment would be the tallest building on either the 200 or 300 block of East Third Street.

The building would include 31,606 square feet of residential floor area. The development also includes shared space – including a study space, television room, fitness centre, and laundry room.

The shared space is intended to counter the isolating environment of many rental buildings whose residents avoid eye contact on elevator rides, according to prospective landlord Sangha.

“My goal is for the neighbours to get to know each other,” he said.

Once a building permit is issued, construction will likely take between 15 and 20 months, according to Sangha.

The development passed third reading 4-3 with Bookham, Bell and Clark opposed.

Council will need to tally a final affirmative vote in favour of the development before the project is officially approved.

Singer/songwriter Hannah Georgas pays tribute to her grandmother on her new album, For Evelyn, released June 24 on Dine Alone Records.

Independent woman ! Hannah Georgas, Khatsahlano! Street Party, Saturday, July 9 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on seven stages (all music curated by Zulu Records). For more information visit khatsahlano.com.

KRISTI ALEXANDRA Contributing writer

For some women, it’s Maya Angelou, Betty Freidan or Eleanor Roosevelt. For others, it’s their mother. When seeking the arcane feminine wisdom that can only be earned through the grace of years, musician Hannah Georgas looks to her own grandmother, Evelyn, for whom her latest LP is named.

For Evelyn – Georgas’ third full-length record – is mired in textured, poppy synths, electronic beats and dramatic lyrical overtones.

Released June 24 via Dine Alone Records, For Evelyn reads like a coming-of-age tale of love loss, existential troubles and the repercussions of doing “crazy shit.”

“The record is a lot of personal, self-reflecting issues; the fears and anxieties versus the power of being independent and being an individual,” Georgas says over the phone from her Toronto home.

The Ontario-via-B.C. singer made the move back to her home province after a near-decade in British Columbia, where she studied at UVIC and eventually made the move to pursue music in Vancouver.

“I feel like my grandma is someone who’s been through all that and reached a point in her life where she’s at peace with everything. That’s the reasoning behind why I thought it would be cool to acknowledge her in that way,” she explains.

“The record is not about my grandma; I wanted to name it

after her because she’s somebody in my life that has been this person who is so selfless and patient and I’ve never seen her complain. She’s always just been this open door in my family and almost angelic in a way.”

In case you couldn’t tell by the content of For Evelyn, “angelic” is certainly no way Georgas would describe herself on the autobiographical album.

“I should keep my pretty mouth shut/cause every time I do that/it always ends bad,” the songwriter chants on “Crazy Shit,” followed by the chorus, “There’s just something about you/when I’m around you/you make me wanna do crazy shit.”

Album opener “Rideback” kicks off to moody, low-toned fanfare as Georgas contemplates whether her “whole life is gonna pass (her) by.”

Dancing on the Edge festival cuts to the chase Series strives to push the boundaries of art form

! The 28th Annual Dancing on the Edge Festival runs until July 16 at various venues. Visit dancingontheedge.org or call 604-689-0926 for tickets and program information.

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

In the 1980s, there was no Scotiabank Dance Centre, no Vancouver International Dance Festival, no Chutzpah!

Festival. There was, however, a growing number of contemporary dancers and choreographers coming to the forefront of the Vancouver performing arts scene. All that talent and no stage is what spawned the annual Dancing on the Edge Festival.

“We created the festival in 1988 in response to the need for Vancouver contemporary dance artists to have an outlet for their work to be shown,” says festival producer Donna Spencer. “There were very few opportunities for contemporary artists.”

Now in its 28th year, the mandate of the festival remains the same. It’s a chance for dancers to not only showcase their work and entertain audiences, but to take risks and challenge the art form.

MascallDance presents The Outliner (Renee Segouin pictured) at Dancing on the Edge.

“We named it Dancing on the Edge for a number of reasons,” Spencer says of the festival’s moniker. One of those reasons is that the event strives to push the frontiers of contemporary dance. Another, Spencer notes, is that contemporary dance “seems to sit on the edge, or is a bit marginalized in itself, in the broader arts disciplines.”

“And we’re also sitting here on the edge of Canada,” she adds.

More than 30 choreographers and 80 dancers, both

local and international, are involved in this year’s 10-day festival. Highlights of the 2016 program include the Western Canadian premiere of a full-length choreography from Montreal’s Étienne Lepage and Frédérick Gravel (Spencer describes the latter as the “enfant terrible” of the Quebec dance scene). Their piece “is a mix of text and rock’n’roll and choreography and political commentary.

It’s pretty wild,” Spencer says.

Other visiting artists include Belgium’s German

Jauregui, Ottawa’s Dorsale Dance, Halifax’s Mocean Dance performing a work by Serge Bennathan, Toronto’s Adelheid Dance Projects, and Victoria’s Constance Cooke.

Then there’s a whole host of local talent, including West Vancouver choreographer Jennifer Mascall of MascallDance and North Vancouver choreographer Starr Muranko of Raven Spirit Dance, to name just a couple.

As in previous years, Dancing on the Edge will

present site-specific works that think outside the conventional theatre space.

High above Stanley Park, suspended performers from Aeriosa Dance Society will float among a grove of trees, their movements accompanied by live music. And at the SFU Woodward’s inner courtyard, All Bodies Dance Project will bring together artists with and without disabilities who will explore different ways to traverse public spaces.

“We’re very interested in supporting that kind of

work because I do believe that everyone can dance and everyone should be encouraged to dance and move,” says Spencer, explaining that the classical ballet tradition for many years dictated that all dancers look and move a certain way. “Contemporary dance does not look at dance in that manner, so that piece, I’m really excited about having it as part of the festival.”

Staging performances in the public realm both challenges the dancers and exposes passersby to an art form they might not otherwise seek out.

“People encounter it, they become curious about it, they may come back and see the performance a second time,” Spencer says, noting both the Stanley Park and SFU Woodward’s pieces will be performed four times over two days. “We’ll give them a brochure and quite often they’ll investigate something that’s going on in the theatre as well. It’s one of our ways to encourage people to be curious about dance and perhaps check out something in a theatre.

And if they don’t, well that’s fine too, they’ve still seen people dancing, which is really good.”

Admittedly biased, Spencer says Dancing on the Edge is a festival that’s sure to please both die-hard fans of contemporary dance and those with a piqued interest.

“If people are curious about dance, this is really a good place to check it out,” she says. “There’s a lot of opportunity to see a wide range of work.”

REVIEW: MIKE AND DAVE NEED WEDDING DATES

Millennial gals can out-bro the bros ! Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates. Directed by Jake Szymanski. Starring Zac Efron, Adam DeVine, Aubrey Plaza and Anna Kendrick.

Rating: 6 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD Contributing writer

Wedding season is in full swing, and what better way to mark the holy institution of marriage than with a gross-out battle of the sexes, with a story culled from a Craigslist ad?

The real-life story of Mike and Dave Stangle made them brief Internet sensations, earned them a spot on the Today show, and got them a book deal. The brothers needed respectable dates for their cousin’s wedding and so posted a cheeky ad on Craigslist, complete with photos of their heads superimposed on centaur bodies with the Declaration of Independence as backdrop.

In director Jake Szymanski’s feature debut the brothers (played by Zac Efron and Adam DeVine) need to get dates for their sister Jeanie’s (Sugar Lyn Beard) wedding in

Kendrick and Plaza get the bulk of the laughs From page 16

CANADA TERMINALS

For more information: dnv.org/philip

comic crux of the film, with Kendrick and Plaza getting the bulk of the laughs as they reveal their true colours with one off-colour comment after another, out bro-ing the bros.

As Bridesmaids attested (and Amy Schumer currently hollers from the rooftops) women can out-raunch men in any given situation. Plaza’s prickly gaze and f-bombs can attest to that.

Andrew Jay Cohen and Brendan O’Brien, writers behind the two Neighbors movies (also starring Efron), bury a message in all the ATV mishaps, X-rated massages and bong- and booze-laden shenanigans: that no one, not even a 20-something manchild, lives forever. Keeping the foursome apart means that there is some lag while writers devise silly scenarios to keep our leads if not spiritually, then at least un-carnally occupied.

Szymanski is a veteran of Internet shorts and the Andy Samberg-Kit Harrington mockumentary 7 Days In Hell for

HBO. He can stage quick setpieces like a pro, but his lack of feature experience shows in the film’s lack of scope.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall offered a much better look at Hawaii and pre-wedding mishaps; Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson in Wedding Crashers – referenced in this film – may seem dated in comparison to Efron and DeVine, but at least they had more to do.

DeVine (of the Pitch Perfect movies and Comedy Central’s Workaholics) is a reliably manic mess, and Plaza displays a tenable gift for physical comedy. Zefron and Kendrick both bring some sensitivity to their roles: Kendrick as the jilted gal coming to terms with what’s next; Zefron as the hard-partying dude with an existential crisis.

No one is who they seem, which – let’s be honest – is the Achilles heel of social media and millennials in general. Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates delivers some decent laughs while spreading the message.

Kay Meek preparing for upcoming season New executive director maps out what’s in store at venue ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com

Kay Meek Centre is ushering in the summer season with the announcement of a new executive director as well as offering a preview into its programming notes for 2016-2017.

Rob Gloor assumed his new role as head of the West Vancouver cultural institution June 21, following in the footsteps of Jeanne LeSage and Paul Gravett.

“I really love the North Shore and the people on the North Shore and this is a really special venue. People all over the place know that Kay Meek Centre is a very wonderful, special theatre.

It has so much opportunity for great programming in this absolutely amazing environment. It’s a lovely room, there’s also the studio theatre, which is a great flexible space. It’s a really interesting venue that can do a lot of variety of programming, which is exactly what we do,” he says.

According to the 46-yearold Bowen Island resident, there are many aspects of Kay Meek Centre that excite him.

“One of them is all of the programs that we’ll be presenting but the other is the many partnerships with the other groups in the community that make

Gloor has a strong

background in the arts. Prior to coming on board with Kay Meek, he served as executive director of the Alliance for Arts and Culture. Other recent roles include principal with GSI Management Consulting (which saw him work with a variety of arts organizations, including Lions Gate Sinfonia), managing director of Pacific Cinémathèque and executive director of Orchestra London Canada.

“I grew up outside of Stratford, Ont., and always

had music and theatre as the themes of my childhood. It was just always a part of my life growing up and that was partly by circumstance. I was living near one of the great theatre centres in the world, and so I had opportunities there that were right in my backyard. But also my family went out of their way to make sure that music was a part of my experience growing up and that I had access to piano lessons and singing in choirs and all of that sort of stuff that helps to shape the experience of a person. . . especially when you’re in a rural area and don’t necessarily have access to all of the amenities of a big city where so much is going on.

I was very fortunate to have access to so much,” he says.

At university, Gloor studied both music and business.

“It was always in my head that I wanted to work in the arts but I was really interested in the business side of the arts - that was in my head from the time I was a teenager really. So producing theatre, productions, even in high school and university, was a part of my experience. … Managing a touring choir at university, coming out of my bachelor’s degree and moving into the general management of a youth orchestra when I was 21, was probably what solidified it for me and I’ve been in that business ever since,” he says.

Gloor is excited about Kay Meek’s 2016/2017 season, set to launch in September.

One of the biggest and

most popular offerings of the centre is its Music in the Grosvenor Theatre series, which this year is featuring performances running the gamut from world music to rock ’n’ roll to jazz.

“We’re opening that series with the continuation of a bit of a tradition. This show, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust: A Vancouver Celebration, is building on the excitement and momentum of a couple of previous years, like last year’s Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out!,” says Gloor, referring to the October 2015 performances presented at Kay Meek led by Steve Dawson in celebration of the 45th anniversary of live concert recording Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out! The Rolling Stones in Concert. “(The performances) brought together B.C. musicians who are all-stars in their own right, and recreating and reimagining that particular album and some of the other music that went along with that period,” says Gloor.

This year’s Bowie tribute, similarly led by Dawson and the Black Hen House Band, and featuring musicians including Alex Cuba, Jim Byrnes and Roy Forbes, will continue on in that vein.

“It’s not just a cover show of the album, but actually each performer takes one of the numbers and brings their own style and energy to it – honouring the original but with a totally fresh take,” he says.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust will be presented Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 and is being co-presented with the Cap Global Roots Series.

Other music series highlights include Tales of a Charlie Brown Christmas with the Jerry Granelli Trio, Dec. 9, in collaboration with the Coastal Jazz & Blues Society and the Vancouver International Children’s Festival.

“That show takes advantage of the leadership of Jerry Granelli who was part of the Vince Guaraldi original soundtrack and sharing the story behind the music of the creation of that whole experience,” says Gloor.

Boogie-woogie pianist Michael Kaeshammer, who performed to a sold-out crowd at Kay Meek in 2014, will take the stage April 22, 2017.

“It’s great to have him back and we expect it to be another really huge popular show that will probably sell out early,” says Gloor.

Kay Meek’s 2016/2017 theatre series will feature three Arts Club on Tour works, Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery, The (Post)

Mistress and Bittergirl: The Musical.

“We’re very excited about that because the Arts Club always does top-notch productions and they’re three really contrasting pieces, a lot of comedy, a lot of music,” says Gloor.

Kay Meek’s family theatre series will showcase awardwinning Mermaid Theatre’s adaptation of Margaret Wise Brown’s Goodnight Moon in Goodnight Moon & The Runaway Bunny Dec. 4.

“They have such a great style and they’re really acclaimed around the world,” says Gloor of Mermaid Theatre, which presented The Very Hungry Caterpillar at the centre in 2014.

Other 2016/2017 season offerings include a cabaret series, offered in a jazz

Kay Meek Centre’s new executive director Rob Gloor. club format and boasting reserved seating and refreshments during performances, Musically Speaking - Classical Matinees, and a film series.

Gloor is currently in week three of his new position and is continuing to settle in.

“It’s a good time to start because it is a bit quieter time of year and there’s lots to absorb,” he says.

That said, while there are indeed minimal public presentations going on right now, Kay Meek is currently a hive of activity as its summer youth conservatory musical theatre programs got underway this week, seeing students ages eight to 18 interested in developing their singing, acting and dancing skills, take over the building through Aug. 6.

Participating students will cap off their experience with presentations of Disney’s Peter Pan Jr. The Musical July 22-23 and Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Jr. The Musical Aug 5-6.

A variety of ticketing options exist for Kay Meek Centre’s 2016-2017 season, including single tickets, discounts for multiple shows and family packs. Visit kaymeekcentre.com for full details.

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?

Dr. Cathryn Coe ND “What can cause low thyroid function?

Chronic stress, as well as unbalanced hormone levels,...”

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.

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.

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 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.

Dr. Cathryn Coe has over 10 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.

Ethical fashion finds for moms and tots Collection sourced from producers worldwide CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

North Vancouver moms Jo Warburton and Sammy Hemmat have a lot in common.

They live on the same street in Lower Lonsdale, they share the same birthday, they have young daughters, they are both committed to ethical fashion, and they both used to work in high-stress corporate positions and were looking to make career changes. So, when the friends started bandying around the idea of launching a collection of children’s apparel sourced from around the world, their conversation evolved into a natural business partnership.

Jammy & Co. went live in late June. An amalgamation of the founders’ first names, “jammy” is also British slang for “lucky,” and it’s a short word for pyjamas – which happens to be one of the company’s main garment offerings. Warburton and Hemmat based their business logo on the Hamsa, an ancient palm-shaped symbol and sign of protection. Other auspicious images can be found throughout the apparel collection.

The goal at Jammy and Co. is to collaborate with female entrepreneurs with small manufacturing operations around the globe to curate

Lower Lonsdale neighbours Jo Warburton and Sammy Hemmat are the founders of the Jammy & Co. fashion brand. Their curated collection of ethically produced, handmade clothing for moms and children is sourced from countries around the globe. PHOTO KEVIN HILL a collection of trendy pieces that will appeal to modern moms and kids. Their range of available products includes sleepwear, resort wear, party dresses, and matching “mommy and me” outfits.

Before moving to the North Shore, Warburton was head of sales for a media conglomerate in the Middle East.

Before that, she worked in communications for Emirates airline. Both those jobs

required a lot of travel.

“I decided that when I moved here I really wanted to spend more time with my children, I didn’t want to do a big corporate thing,” says the mom of two daughters, ages

nine and seven.

Her experience living in different countries, alongside people with less opportunity than herself, influenced her decision-making.

“If I was going to do my

own business, I wanted to do something that did some good,” she says.

Jammy & Co. strives to support small manufacturers

“Vancouver’s a place where we really appreciate recycling and the outdoors and preserving nature and looking after animals and I just think this kind of clothing business would probably appeal to the similar mentality,” Warburton says.

So far, most of the entrepreneurs Jammy & Co. collaborates with are people Warburton and Hemmat know personally from their travels abroad to places like India and Indonesia.

Because the founders want to develop relationships with all their manufacturers, Warburton expects their company will stay small.

“I don’t think it’s going to grow that quickly because we really want to personally know the clothing is being produced ethically, that the fabrics are being sourced ethically.”

Writing process takes an emotional toll on Georgas From page 13 Contrary to the album’s lyrics, however, the Torontobased chanteuse is more together than ever, musically speaking. According to her, the 11-track record boasts a more polished sound than her previous releases.

“I’ve been fine tuning things and I’ve just been diving into making records more and knowing more about myself,” Georgas admits. “I find I take that role of my process of writing and recording

on my own, and finding my sound more and more, and progressing, and being more particular about how I want the music to sound.”

That’s perhaps in part to finding collaborative harmony with the right producer.

Teaming up with Graham Walsh for a second time since the recording of her self-titled sophomore album in 2012, Georgas says she and Walsh have found mutual synergy.

“We’ve developed a

relationship together where he knows me and knows me musically and where I want to take my record,” she says.

“I’m trying hard to work with people who I’m really inspired by,” the 32-yearold singer confesses, giving a nod to director Sammy Rawal.

Georgas sought out Rawal to direct the video for “Don’t Go,” which premiered June 2 as a tease to the album.

“I met him and I loved his work,” she gushes. “I’m going to make another [video] with

him because I was just so happy with it. I have to have this personal understanding with the person I’m working with. It will show if I’m not comfortable, and it won’t look good if I’m not happy.”

Evidently, the same goes for her music. Georgas readily admits she originally experienced some growing pains between records.

“I remember things feeling hard because I put my last record out in 2012, and then I spent a lot of time and energy on tour. (When)

it came down to having to make another record and writing, I kind of hibernated in Vancouver for six months and wrote as much as I possibly could. I put a lot of pressure on myself to make it happen,” Georgas reveals.

The ensuing product is an honest, emotionally-charged album full of self-doubt, misery and, ultimately, catharsis. “(Writing) takes an emotional toll. It’s part of what I do… That’s the way it comes naturally to me. I draw inspiration from feeling

emotionally connected to whatever I’m writing about. I feel like that’s the only way it works for me. I just tap into something that emotionally and musically inspires me, that’s the way it works for me.”

If turning emotional turmoil into music is the mark of experience and wisdom, Georgas is well on her way to becoming the sage woman for whom an album might someday be named.

Forward-thinking Cadillac is already rolling out 2017 models, including the XT5, an all-new tall wagon that replaces the SRX. The XT5 is considerably sleeker and sharper than the outgoing model and has lost 115 kilograms, making it more powerful even though the engine has not changed. It is available at Carter GM in the Northshore Auto Mall. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH

Caddy rolls out welcome wagon

MALCOLM GUNN Contributing writer

You have to give Cadillac full marks for introducing a constant stream of new or reworked models to tempt us.

We’re only part way into the 2016 model year and already this General Motors premium division has introduced two new 2017 vehicles.

Joining the previously announced CT-6 flagship sedan is the XT5, a tall wagon that replaces the SRX. It’s being built both in North America and in China. The five-passenger wagon shares virtually nothing with the outgoing rig, hence, presumably, the new name. Even so, Cadillac chose not to fiddle too much with the overall dimensions, but a two-inch

increase in distance between the front and rear wheels means more rear-seat legroom and a bit more stowage space behind the split-folding second-row bench.

As for styling, the SRX and XT5 share similar traits, but the latter’s front and rear ends are considerably sleeker and the side body panels are more sharply defined. The boomerang-like LED running

lights and tail light lenses are particularly attractive and the SRX’s egg-crate grille has been replaced by eye-pleasing horizontal bars that bear some resemblance to the CT-6 sedan’s nosepiece.

Cadillacs are becoming highly regarded for their impressive interiors and the XT5 is no exception. The leather- and suede-covered dashboard’s combination

of curviness and angularity really hits the mark, augmented with just the right amount of wood and satinnickel trim. In addition, the rear seat can be adjusted fore and aft by up to 14 centimetres and can be tilted up to 12 degrees for balancing passenger comfort with cargo room.

But what really separates the old from the new is an allnew platform. The result is a

vehicle that’s lighter by about 115 kilograms.

The reduced heft certainly helps the XT5’s powerplant.

The 3.6-litre V-6 has the same displacement as in the SRX, but it has been engineered for slightly more spunkiness.

Subaru boxer still punchy at age 50

This year, Subaru celebrates 50 years of the horizontally opposed engine.

Pop the hood on any Subie and you’ll find one of these shiny metal pancakes mounted low and wide. The four-cylinder variants can come with turbocharging or naturally aspirated, and there’s even a flat-six that’ll probably be around for a few more years.

The boxer engine is so named because the two banks of pistons are situated directly across from one another, making the power strokes go back and forth like a couple of pugilists duking it out. The advantages are a low centre of gravity, and fewer vibrations.

The disadvantages to the boxer engine configuration include occasionally wonky head gaskets (with two to worry about), and potential problems with oil consumption. It’s also a pain to perform maintenance like spark plug changes because the engine is so much wider than a normal inline four.

Subaru, however, has stuck with the boxer for half a century now, and it defines the brand. Ah, I see you there in the back, raising your hand to protest that Subaru’s defining

Grinding Gears Brendan McAleer characteristic is its excellent all-wheel drive, available everywhere except in the BRZ sports car. Fair enough: but if it were not for the boxer engine, there would be no allwheel-drive Subarus. Let’s hit the tape for the history lesson.

Back in 1966, Fuji Heavy Industries decided to build what was their first real car.

They’d already had some success with the Subaru 360, a homely little pinball of a thing that looked a bit like a misshapen VW Beetle. This time, however, they wanted to build a proper family car for Japan and the export market.

After some back and forth during development over engine size and power, they finally released a total monster, the Subaru 1000. As the name might leave you to

believe, it had 1,000 horsepower. Well, no. It didn’t. It had more like 55 h.p. on a good day with low ambient temperatures and a following wind.

It did, however, have a unique innovation: a 1,000 cc flat-four engine. There had been many a flat-four before this from companies like Citroen, Porsche, and even Toyota, but the Subaru version allowed for a further development not seen before in a mass-produced Japanese vehicle. It was front-wheel drive.

Considering how much fun WRX drivers poke at sporty front-wheel-drive cars like the Honda Civic Si, it’s kinda funny that Subaru roots stretch back to a front-wheel-drive econobox. The first Subaru family sedan, however, came with something that’d be familiar to any Subaru owner – it was extremely good in the snow.

With skinny 1960s-era tires, plenty of weight over the nose, and front-wheel drive, the 1000 could pull itself along where rear-drive Datsuns and Toyotas just spun their tires.

Additionally, cramming all the drive gear up front made the cabin relatively roomy. People loved them.

As chance would have it,

the Tohoku power company noticed how popular the 1000 was, and approached their local Subaru dealership in Miyagi prefecture. Their Land Cruisers and Mitsubishi offroaders were canvas-topped and brutally cold in the winter, and they often needed to get out and service equipment in remote areas. Could Subaru help?

Cars being a lot simpler in those days, Subaru Miyagi came up with the best dealerinstalled accessory ever.

Taking the drivetrain from a Datsun 510 wagon (still called Nissans in Japan), they grafted over rear-drive bits to make an all-wheel-drive wagon. It had slightly higher ride height than the normal 1000, and all-wheel drive. Hey presto: the first Subaru Outback was born.

Just eight of the custom wagons were made, and there the story might have ended.

Somebody at Subaru Miyagi, however, was so enamoured of their creation that they decided to drive it over to Subaru headquarters. The executives took one look and decided to put it into production.

The boxer grew in power and displacement, adopting turbocharging in the 1980s, and eventually becoming a

force in motorsport. It also spun off into a six-cylinder variant that provided turbinelike smoothness. It’s a pity the flat-six will probably fade away in favour of the emissionsfriendlier four-cylinder turbo at some point, but then again the flat-four is where Subaru came from.

It created a huge, loyal fanbase in the rally-crazy community and powered many a family home in their first new Forester. We had wedgeshaped XTs and boxy Loyales.

We had gravel-spewing STIs and the strangeness of the SVX. All were powered by the little horizontally opposed engine that could.

Matter of fact, I’m hurriedly writing this from the passenger’s seat of a Subaru Forester as it hurtles along a gravel road in Alberta while my editor sits impatiently in front of a blank page. Sorry Boss, I forgot about my deadline. (Editor’s note: What?

Pull a stunt like this again and you can bloody well stay in Alberta!)

So happy 50th anniversary, Subaru boxer engine. You were never a normal choice for a car, but you helped build a brand that’s become a West Coast favourite. Flapjacks for everyone. mcaleeronwheels@gmail.com

conditions, helps reduce fuel consumption. Auto stop/start shuts off the engine at idle to help out a bit more. Output is rated at 310 horsepower and 270 foot-pounds of torque, up from 308/265.

For the time being, China is the only country that will get Cadillac’s turbocharged 2.0litre four-cylinder that makes 258 h.p. and 295 foot-pounds of torque.

Sending twisting force to the front or all four wheels (if the optional all-wheel-drive is selected) is handled by an eight-speed automatic transmission with manualshift paddles. The fuel rating of 12.9 (litres/100 kilometres) in the city and 8.9 on the highway betters the 14.2/9.8 numbers of the outgoing SRX. Lessons learned from the SRX guided Cadillac engineers in fine-tuning the suspension for improved control and ride comfort while more feedback was dialed into the powersteering system.

With a starting price of $47,000, including destination fees, the XT5 contains plenty of luxury built-ins and addons, such as dual-zone climate control, power-adjustable front and rear seats, rearview camera and an eight-inch touch screen that operates the communications and the eight-speaker Bose audio systems.

The Luxury trim level adds a panoramic sunroof, heated front seats and steering wheel, front and rear park assist, rain-sensing wipers and a fancier set of 18-inch wheels.

The Premium Luxury increases the Premium’s content with a 14-speaker Bose audio package, voice-activated navigation, ventilated front seats with power lumbar support and 20-inch wheels.

The Platinum comes with allwheel drive, hands-free power tailgate plus all the very latest active safety features that help prevent collisions.

By any measure – looks, comfort, performance and safety – the XT5 is a solid effort that picks up where the outgoing SRX left off.

The specs TYPE Four-door, front- /

all-wheel-drive mid-size wagon ENGINE 3.6-litre DOHC V-6 (310 h.p.)

TRANSMISSION Eight-speed automatic MARKET POSITION Tall crossover wagons of every description and from basic to fully loaded ultra-luxury editions have changed the face of the automotive industry. It’s a trend that Cadillac will continue to benefit from.

POINTS In terms of front to back styling, this is one of Cadillac’s better efforts. The improved 3.6-litre V-6 should satisfy buyers, but the torquier, China-only turbo four-cylinder will hopefully become optional here. Creating more rear-seat room is just plain smart. Weight is the enemy, and Cadillac’s fat-trimming new platform will soon be shared by other GM family members.

SAFETY Blind-spot warning (optional); cross-traffic alert (optional); autonomous cruise control (optional); pedestrian detection (optional) FUEL EFFICIENCY (l/100 km): 12.9 city, 8.9 highway BASE PRICE (including destination): $47,000

Businesses that Mercedez-Benz Driving Academy for New Drivers

M

ercedes-Benz Driving Academy for New Drivers has introduced a new kind of driving instruction that prepares new drivers for a lifetime of safe, responsible driving.

Traditionally, driver education focused exclusively on learning the rules of the road and learning to operate a vehicle. But the EU Coaching Project, HERMES, uncovered a third, equally important factor in reducing crashes with new drivers: learning to control your impulses.

“The mental aspect of driving is the most important part for new drivers to understand,” says John Jacobsen of Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy.

“Impulsivity rules the developing mind, and this can lead to crashes, especially with young drivers. With this in mind, MercedesBenz has structured a new way to teach driving.”

Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy is the first to offer this kind of driver education in Canada. Traditional driving instructors are replaced by ‘driving coaches’, who undergo frequent evaluation and training and are monitored for consistency through the use of in-car cameras.

“You’re going to see a lot more of this kind of training in the future,” says Jacobsen.

“What we focus on is managing impulsivity

The interior of the new XT5 really hits the mark with just the right amount of wood and satinnickel trim. There’s also more cargo space than in the outgoing model. PHOTOS PAUL MCGRATH

1.6 MILLION DOLLAR INVENTORY by helping teens become more self-aware of their mental state. Crashes don’t typically occur because of a lack of knowledge on the driver’s part. They occur because of poor or impulsive decision-making.”

Students learn to be aware of their mental and emotional state through self-evaluation.

In-lesson scaling helps students track their developing vehicle-handling skills for greater responsibility behind the wheel.

“We teach new drivers how to put the brakes on their impulsivity,” Jacobsen explains. “And since we teach using Mercedes-Benz vehicles, there’s a greater incentive to learn. You’ll also notice the competitive pricing compared to other driver education programs in Vancouver.”
