Man in 60s dies hiking Grouse Grind JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

A hiker in his 60s died Wednesday evening after collapsing near the halfway point of the Grouse Grind, according to North Shore Rescue team leader Mike Danks.

The hiker was making his way up Grouse Grind with a group of friends when he sat down to rest at about 8 p.m., according to North Vancouver RCMP spokesman Cpl. Richard De Jong. The man went into cardiac arrest shortly afterward.

A North Shore Rescue volunteer was also on his way up the 2,800-step staircase when he saw the man fall, noted Danks.

After calling 911, the volunteer dialed North Shore Rescue, who immediately scrambled a helicopter and put together a medical crew including an emergency room

West Van tree bylaw deeply divisive BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

West Vancouver council members may be hugging the district’s trees a little less tightly.

Council voted Monday night to strike a task force that will study in detail what West Vancouverites want to see in a tree bylaw, after a survey showed West Vancouverites are deeply divided over the new interim measures.

The interim bylaw, modelled after the District of North Vancouver’s, forbids the removal of trees with trunks 75 centimetres or more in diameter, unless an arborist deems

them to be dangerous. But that approach was too heavyhanded, according to 48 per cent of respondents to the survey.

Residents on the western side of the municipality were far more likely to oppose any regulation on tree cutting at all, while Ambleside and Dundarave homeowners were more likely to favour new rules.

A host of residents turned out Monday night to give

council an earful about how the interim bylaw was preventing them from responsibly maintaining their property, opening up an ocean view or allowing light to penetrate the canopy.

“There is no need for a bylaw to apply to homeowners who have no intention of building a monster home,” said Jackie Lane, an Eagle Harbour resident. “What does council have against light or ocean views? They are the reason many people choose to live in West Vancouver. … Do not condemn us to the continual encroachment of the forest. We

PAUL SULLIVAN: FIRE RESCUE HEROICS TRUMP POKEMON CRAZE PAGE 8

New family doctors ready for practice First cohort of family medicine residents at LGH graduate JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

It’s a long way from Iran to Bella Bella.

But that’s where the medical career of family doctor Payman Nabai has taken him.

Nabai, one of the first eight doctors to graduate from a new family doctors’ training program based on the North Shore, will head to Bella Bella on B.C.’s central coast this fall, to become one of only a handful of doctors based in the community.

Jessica Palmer, another of the graduates, who grew up on the North Shore, will start her practice filling in for a maternity leave in North Vancouver.

Both will be adding to the supply of desperately sought-after family doctors in the province. And they’ll be putting into practice a wide variety of skills, honed during four-month residencies in more rural coastal communities.

While programs to train family doctors aren’t new, the one based at the Lions Gate Hospital’s HOpe Centre is only two years old.

It’s part of an increased push to train more family doctors across the province.

Traditionally, there’s been a cultural bias against family practice in medical schools, said Dr. Dean Brown, a family doctor and site director for UBC’s coastal family practice

Payman Nabai, Charlotte Philippson, Phil Simpson, Krista McKee and Jessica Palmer (also at right) celebrate their last day of UBC family practice residency at Lions Gate Hospital before they become new family physicians on the North Shore and in B.C.’s coastal communities. PHOTOS CINDY GOODMAN residency program based at Lions Gate.

There’s the perception that “if you’re really smart you’ll go into a specialty,” said Brown.

But “that’s not true,” he said. Family practice is “just as challenging as any work out there.”

One of the unique parts of the North Shore-based program is that doctors in it go to smaller, rural communities in the Vancouver Coastal Health region to train for four months out of the two-year residency – longer than in many other programs. Part of the reason is that family doctors in more rural communities tend to have a wider variety of hands-on work than doctors in urban settings – where it’s much easier to

refer to a specialist.

“Family doctors in rural settings basically do everything,” said Nabai – from emergency room work to caring for the elderly, and dealing with everything from sports injuries to addictions.

Nabai, who spent his four-month rural residency in Squamish, said he also worked with a family doctor who was experienced in anesthesiology. In many smaller communities there isn’t a dedicated anesthesiologist so family doctors also learn to perform that role.

Nabai is one of four doctors from the recent eight graduates who originally trained as a doctor elsewhere in the world and went through the UBC program in order to be able to practice in B.C.

“It was hard to get in,” he said, adding he passed the required entrance exams and applied for a coveted spot several years in a row before being accepted in 2016.

Nabai said he decided to go into family practice because family doctors see a wide variety of problems.

“It’s more like detective work,” he said, compared to specialists who “see the same thing every day.”

As part of being accepted into the training program, international doctors must agree to spend two years after they graduate working in rural communities.

Going to Bella Bella will allow him to see some of the natural beauty of the province first-hand, said Nabai.

“It’s going to be exciting,” he said.

Palmer’s own interest in medicine used to be in research and genetics – until one of her own three children required a heart transplant as a baby, giving her a new appreciation for the role of the family doctor.

Her family appreciated having someone who could advocate for them, she said. She also liked the idea of having a deeper knowledge of someone’s family background and the factors that go into their health conditions.

Like Nabai, Palmer spent her four months of rural training in Squamish.

Although not that far from the city, in a more rural setting, “you don’t have 24hour access to technology and labs,” she said. “You have to go back to the basics of medicine.”

Seeing patients in different settings in a small town, from the clinic to the emergency room, helped her to get to know them, she said.

Both Nabai and Palmer said it’s frustrating that people have such a hard time finding a family doctor.

Now that she’s graduated, Palmer said she hopes, “I’ll be able to help with that a little bit.”

Tsleil-Waututh Nation follows CNV with casino bid BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

The Tsleil-Waututh Nation has joined the City of North Vancouver in submitting a bid to the B.C. Lottery Corp. to host a casino on the North Shore.

Citing an opportunity to capture more gambling revenue, the province asked all three North Shore municipalities and two First Nations to consider submitting expressions of interest by July 15.

City council voted in June to join the process. On Monday, the lotto corp confirmed the city’s and Tsleil-Waututh’s were the only ones they received.

Tsleil-Waututh Nation did not respond to an interview request.

Any local government that hosts a casino gets a 10 per cent cut of the house’s net revenues. On the North Shore, BCLC estimates that to be between $1.5 million and $2.2 million per year.

It’s now on BCLC to

determine which of the two applications will be the lucky winner.

“We look at each of the expressions of interest and evaluate them based on a variety of criteria. There’s a scoring and it’s overseen by a third-party fairness advisor just to make sure the process is fair,” said Laura Piva-Babcock, director of communications for BCLC. “We’ll be looking at population trends, their existing community policies and plans or zoning, permits or

restrictions – that sort of thing – and also the estimated potential revenue within an area. It’s really a combination.”

The fairness advisor is former B.C. Liberal Attorney General Geoff Plant.

Before a casino operator is chosen and a licence is granted, the winning government still has to demonstrate that they have consulted with the public as well as other local governments and First Nations within five kilometres of the

proposed casino.

“It’s quite proscriptive regarding infrastructure, policing, transportation and highway use,” Piva-Babcock said.

Piva-Babcock could not say whether the expressions of interest included possible locations for casinos. First Nations and municipalities are on a level playing field when it comes to deciding who gets the licence, she added.

The selection process is expected to take place over several weeks and there is

no guarantee that either government will be given the OK to approve a casino.

Only after a host government is picked will BCLC decide which casino company can own and operate it.

Previously, BCLC had given Playtime Gaming exclusive access to the North Shore, although that triggered a lawsuit from North Vancouver-based Pinnacle Gaming Solutions. In June, the lotto corp said Playtime’s exclusive licence had been “extinguished.”

City minds its home child care regulations Restrictions on larger homebased operations remain JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

It came down to a matter of principal Monday night.

Despite unanimous support for daycares in general, City of North Vancouver council kiboshed a motion that would have loosened restrictions for entrepreneurial childminders seeking to turn homes into principal-use child care facilities.

The vote was a disappointment for Coun. Linda Buchanan.

“We are not supporting families in our community,” she said.

By pushing child care from residential zones to commercial districts, working parents end up patronizing facilities that profit by “warehousing children” while providing child care rather than early childhood development, according to Buchanan.

The city doesn’t allow homeowners to turn their houses into storefronts, noted Coun. Pam Bookham.

“I don’t understand why we would allow daycare, which is a commercial operation … to have that right,” she said.

Bookham also expressed

concern that speculators might buy up residential properties and “use daycare as a way of generating income.”

That scenario makes little sense financially, countered Mayor Darrell Mussatto.

“Daycares are tough to put in anywhere, in the sense that they don’t make any money,” he said.

With miniscule vacancy rates and high land values, Mussatto said a failure to offer daycare will result in parents taking longer commutes or leaving the city entirely.

“Any chance we get to put daycare in communities, I think we need to take full advantage.”

A strictly commercial enterprise is likely less sensitive to a neighbour’s concerns, according to Coun.

Don Bell.

“At least when there’s an owner/operator they share the neighbourhood with their neighbours,” said Bell. They live there, they’re accessible.”

Principal-use child care centres such as Discovery Castle, Kidsland, and Golden Star have generated “very few complaints,” according to a city staff report.

With a split vote looming, Coun. Holly Back cast the decisive vote against allowing principal-use daycares.

“I wouldn’t want one next to me,” she said.

Allowing principal-use child care facilities could open the door for other businesses

hoping to operate out of a residential neighbourhood, Back cautioned.

Coun. Rod Clark concurred, arguing there are always concerns around whether anyone is living in the house after business hours, he said.

“I think we should be limiting daycare in residential zones to a maximum number of eight children.”

Clark’s comments conflicted with the unqualified support he expressed when discussing new child care space at Ridgeway elementary in January. Coun. Craig Keating was quick to point out the discrepancy.

“I agreed with Coun. Clark on Jan. 18,” he said.

While allowing principaluse daycares would be an experiment, Keating suggested residential neighbourhoods were likely a better fit than main thoroughfares.

“I’m prepared to experiment with the idea of principal use, and we’ll see what the results are.”

Council voted to allow staff to approve child care facilities with 12 spots or fewer while leaving larger operations under council’s purview.

Council would also exercise oversight on any child care facility proposed for the same block of another daycare, on lots smaller than 5,900 square feet, and in instances when parking on arterial roads is an issue.

Doctor, nurse long-lined to trail From page 1 doctor and nurse. “We luckily had a helicopter very close by at the time,” Danks said.

Working closely with the District of North Vancouver Fire Department and B.C. Ambulance Service, North Shore Rescue long-lined in the doctor and nurse as well as medical equipment.

After the doctor tried to stabilize the patient for about 25 minutes, North Shore Rescue long-lined the hiker to a waiting ambulance.

He died within the hour.

The hiker received optimum care, according to Danks, who explained the patient received automated CPR in the helicopter.

While the hiker seemed fit, the event serves as a reminder to take Mother Nature’s Stairmaster seriously, Danks noted.

“We highly recommend that you start out with easy to moderate hikes and work your way up,” he said. “The Grouse Grind is not a walk in the park.”

Man charged in stabbing Charges have been filed in the case of the West Vancouver man who was stabbed at the Pemberton Music Festival Monday.

Eustace Victor Martin, 23, faces one charge of aggravated assault in connection with the stabbing that sent a West Vancouver man to

hospital in serious condition.

The gathering of music fans was otherwise a peaceful affair, according to Sgt. Rob Knapton, media relations officer with the Pemberton RCMP. Martin is due in Pemberton Provincial Court Aug. 23.

Aiding and a’betting

I

t appears it’s no longer a question of if the North Shore will get a casino but rather a question of where. Both the City of North Vancouver and Tsleil-Waututh Nation have informed the B.C. Lottery Corp. they’d be interested in hosting a new casino in exchange for the usual 10 per cent cut of gambling revenues.

Only one will get it so we’ll be watching closely the public process to decide who.

There’s no question both proponents could use the money but the elected officials and the communities they represent will have to confront the ethical dilemma of being handmaidens to gambling and deciding whether to proceed.

The way the industry bills it, gaming is a fun and exciting way to spend an evening. For the province and municipalities, it’s a source of income from folks

who only part with their cash by choice.

More inelegantly, critics call it a tax on the stupid.

It’s one thing to bring in some whales.

We worry, however, about the smaller fish - those who have lost the ability to say no to “double or nothing.”

We’d ask that those making a tidy profit from a new casino on the North Shore also put up a commensurate effort to halt and mitigate the impacts of problem gambling – something over and above BCLC’s so-called self-exclusion program.

At times, B.C. casinos have been less than wholehearted about keeping the “self-excluded” gamblers away from their demons. But if they happen to hit a jackpot, the pit bosses will step in and make sure the money doesn’t leave the premises – in the name of protecting the addicted, of course.

Fire rescue heroics trump Pokemon craze

I

n a world that has apparently gone nuts, a stunning act of heroism here at home helps restore the balance. That’s if anyone noticed?

We should thank Capt. Kit Little and his fellow firefighters for restoring our faith in humanity after a sequence of events that have left us all wondering if the world is about to end in a firestorm of lethal absurdity: terrorism in Nice, police officers down in Dallas and Baton Rouge, and always, Donald Trump at the helm of the ship of fools.

So an old-fashioned rescue of a woman and her dog at Monday’s fierce East Second Street apartment fire was very much welcomed, by me at least.

Capt. Little would probably say he was just doing his job, but when your job involves rescuing a woman trapped by a fierce conflagration while at the edge of a

CONTACTUS

The North Side Paul Sullivan ladder and then going back to get her dog, that’s above and beyond the call of duty.

That’s if you ask me, someone whose biggest risk is a typographical error. And most of those are handled by spell-check.

I’m not sure what Capt.

Little gets paid, but many pro athletes get paid more in a week than he gets in a year. You think I’m kidding?

Loui Eriksson, the Canucks'

newest recruit, makes six million bucks a year to patrol the left wing. If you do that math, that comes to $115,385 a week. If Capt. Little makes much more than that in 2016, I’ll be surprised.

Whatever he gets paid, it’s not enough. I’m sure you’ll agree as you watch the video of the rescue.

At first, firefighters tried to get to the woman through her suite, but the approach was so hot, they could feel the heat through their fireretardant protective clothing.

So they went back outside and rigged a ladder to the third floor, making sure they didn’t get caught on live wires overhead.

Precariously balanced on the fully extended ladder, Capt. Little went up to the woman and managed to pull her down to the second floor.

Then, honouring his promise to the woman, he went back up and grabbed her little dog

by the scruff of its neck and pulled it out of the fire. Lucky pooch.

Not everyone was so lucky. Later among the ruins, one person was discovered dead. But without the efforts of Capt. Little and his colleagues, it could have been much, much worse.

I apologize to Capt. Little for making a fuss, but we just don’t spend enough time acknowledging the everyday courage of firefighters and other first responders. There is a kind of a cult that started after 343 firefighters died instantly in the collapse of the twin towers during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. People honour the dead by wearing FDNY ball caps or displaying bumper stickers.

Fine. But let’s not forget that first responders face down mortal danger every day, called upon to do things that would make ordinary mortals cringe. I have enough

trouble changing a light bulb from the top of a ladder, never mind lifting an entire human being out of the flames, and then going back for her dog.

It’s this kind of routine dedication that is increasingly missing from society, and I sometimes worry that it hasn’t been passed down to the next generation.

I say that because on the same day as Capt. Little and his colleagues were spending hours rescuing people from the fire on East Second, Pokemon Go was released in Canada and many ablebodied denizens of the next generation were running around the streets of North Vancouver chasing a cute little virtual mouse. Where the only thing burning was bandwidth and lots of it.

Perhaps that’s not fair.

But perhaps it is. A recent poll reveals that more people under 30 recognize Pikachu

So how about this? Say we did a poll of people under 30 in North Vancouver and asked them to identify Pikachu, Loui Eriksson, Joe Biden or Kit Little, who do you think would come first?

I rest my case. And tip my hat to a few good men who still think it’s worth risking their lives for our safety.

INQUIRINGREPORTER Do you hunt Pokemon?

No mere app, Pokemon Go is the key that’s opened the doors of dank basements worldwide, liberating gamers from the tyranny of cords and couch grooves to track imaginary characters in real locations. The game’s flaw may be that it’s too compelling.

The Canada Line train made an emergency stop this week to avoid a Pikachu-poacher.

Management at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., tried to remove the memorial’s Pokestop status recently. Is augmented reality frightening, the future, or both?

$100K club at West Van’s town hall worth every penny Dear Editor: My disappointment at reading Trevor Lautens’ column (July 15) Tracking the $100K Club at WV Town Hall is profound. These numbers are presented with no context whatsoever.

Someone who retired 20 years ago may think these salaries sound inflated, but in researching current standards, it is clear that this is not the case; the fact is that staff salaries in West Vancouver are in the 60th percentile of the other municipalities of the Lower Mainland (in other words, 40 per cent

of municipalities pay more).

In fact, both our North Shore neighbours to the east, the District and the City of North Vancouver, pay more (but they don’t have a columnist who feels it is his “unpopular duty” to report it).

More importantly, these salaries are still well below the need for someone who wants to live in West Vancouver these days. In fact, two salaries over $150,000 are not even enough to buy a house here anymore. As a result, 90 per cent of our municipal workforce do not live in West Van.

That means police, firefighters, engineers, planners, bus drivers, parks and recreation and executive staff are almost all commuting here from elsewhere. This is a huge problem; when the Big One arrives, who will be here to help us 44,000 residents?

We have the most energetic, highly qualified, and dedicated municipal staff anywhere. And no one who already owns their $3-million house in West Van should be complaining.

Nora Gambioli Councillor, District of West Vancouver

Proposed tax on empty homes won’t help housing affordability Dear Editor: The housing situation right across Canada is appalling. Since the late 1970s there has been very little if any rental or lowincome family housing built.

The government of the time removed all incentives to build this type of housing and these incentives have never been replaced. All levels of government have

consistently ignored the fact that not everyone is in the high-income bracket and have failed to provide housing for the low-income earners, many of whom work in our service industry and are so vital to our country.

The young people that are just starting out cannot find a reasonable place to rent and these people are Canada’s future. What is

going to happen to all those teenagers just finishing high school? What future are they facing? Putting a tax on vacant houses is not going to help any of these people. It’s just the usual smoke screen to distract us into thinking something is being done.

Shame on Canada and its leaders.

Tree bylaw task force terms expected in fall From page 1 need some sunshine in our gardens.”

It was a sentiment also argued by residents in the British Properties, including John Ryckman, who noted that Burrard Inlet vistas have been a selling feature in the properties since the 1950s.

“I would argue (views) are in fact significantly more important than preservation of monster trees that can grow to 250 feet or more,”

he said.

Christine Cassidy, however, wasn’t having any of it, noting she was probably the one who pushed hardest for the interim bylaw as a means to preserve the environment and character that most attracts people to live in West Vancouver.

“And I say ‘Thank you Christine Cassidy’ because I was sick and tired of listening to citizens coming here, complaining endlessly about the fact their council was doing nothing about the

clear-cutting of properties,” she said. “We’ll get it right and we will listen to the majority but I’m not going to say ‘Sorry’ to anybody who, in the immediate, is inconvenienced. You should be saying ‘Thank you’ to us for preserving the environment that we hold so valuable.”

At its root, the interim bylaw is intended to counter the chainsaw-happy habits of developers in recent years, as real estate speculation has driven them to build the largest homes

possible with unimpeded views, Coun. Mary-Ann Booth said.

“I certainly wouldn’t be fiddling with something that wasn’t broken if it wasn’t for the siege that many neighbourhoods are feeling around construction impacts to their neighbourhoods,” she said.

Mayor Michael Smith offered his own theory on why people choose to live in West Vancouver and urged council to step very carefully about taking on a huge

Motorcyclist run over in Seymour underwent emergency surgery.

“He had some very serious injuries, though,” Humphries said.

The victim, a 32-yearold Vancouver man, has since been transferred to Vancouver General Hospital, according to police.

“We’re monitoring his situation and hoping for the best for him,” said Cpl. Richard De Jong, North Vancouver RCMP spokesman.

He was riding a streetlegal enduro bike.

The RCMP’s Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service is conducting an investigation into the cause. Speed is thought to be a factor, De Jong said.

The driver of the other vehicle was quite shaken by the collision and is receiving support from the RCMP’s victim services unit, De Jong said.

A motorcyclist is in serious but stable condition following a horrific crash in North Vancouver Wednesday morning.

The crash happened around 9 a.m. on the Mount Seymour Parkway interchange in front of the Holiday Inn, according to District of North Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services Capt. Matt Humphries.

“He got off at the Mount Seymour Parkway exit and lost control of his bike, hit a pole and was apparently run over by a car going westbound on the on-ramp to Highway 1,” Humphries said. “When we got there, he had no pulse. We did CPR on him. We got a faint pulse back.”

CRA scam dupes NV woman BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Police are again warning the public to be vigilant against scams after a North Vancouver woman was taken for more than $10,000.

In this case, it was the fairly common “Canada Revenue Agency” scam, in which fraudsters pretend to be tax collectors over the phone, demanding payments be made immediately under threat of court charges, fines or deportation, something the real Canada Revenue Agency explicitly does not do. “(She) reported that she was defrauded out of $12,920 by phone by

people pretending to be from the CRA, advising that she owed money and she had to pay using iTunes gift cards,” said Cpl. Richard De Jong, North Vancouver RCMP spokesman. “She provided her name, her RBC Avion credit card information and address.”

Once a person has fallen victim, there’s almost nothing police can do to retrieve the money or find the suspects, De Jong said.

“It’s so difficult, because they’re usually out of country or it’s a third-party phone number that comes back to some place in the States or somewhere elsewhere in the world and the money’s gone. These guys are slick,” he said

The victim learned from Apple that all but about $2,000 had been spent.

De Jong said anyone who receives a call or email demanding payment of taxes or other fines should very be very critical, demand verification and watch for signs the person calling or emailing is not on the level, like using broken English or botching the names of official government agencies.

“The message is, again, do not give money to anybody until you confirm the source and the legitimacy of it,” he said.

If you receive such a fraudulent call, hang up and report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.

BRIGHTLIGHTS! by Ann Hamilton Dragon Busters bingo night The North Shore Dragon Busters dragon boat team bingo night took place June 11 at Holy Trinity elementary in North Vancouver. The positive energy was obvious from the get-go as 240 effervescent, ready-to-play people headed into the school gym for bingo, food, drinks, a raffle, silent auction, socializing and, most importantly, to support the North Shore Dragon Busters, comprised of 28 breast cancer survivors, fundraising for their dragon boat endeavours, including boat rentals and uniform purchases. There were many cancer survivors, battlers, family members and supporters in the gym, and their buoyant, brave spirits, powered by courage, strength, determination and positive outlooks, were something very special to behold and experience. Bingo, indeed!

It’s the person-to-person connection that Vancouverbased singer-songwriter Lydia Hol loves most about being a musician.

“That’s what’s fun about playing live: meeting people after shows, hearing what song was their favourite and helping spread music around – that’s definitely part of the folk community that’s cool. It’s all about building community and building connection. I think it all goes hand in hand together,” she says.

A love for singing, ingrained at a young age, as well as English literature, initially attracted Hol to the craft and a whole new passion quickly revealed itself.

“I just really love meeting new people, playing for them and offering what I’ve learned so far in my short life and reflecting that back to people. I’m always just looking for curious ideas every day, so for me it’s a way to collect those ideas and start to form something out of them,” she says.

Hol studied jazz vocals and then started playing with a few different bands, joining them on the road. Eventually she released her first recording in 2012, an EP entitled Boats, recorded on the Gulf Islands.

“I didn’t really know what the reaction would be but people seemed to really like it. It kind of all started from there and I’ve just been steadily working at getting better at songwriting and making connections in Canada, but also

worldwide as well, and just getting to know different songwriters,” she says.

Hol’s debut LP, Heading North, was released in January.

“This album was a really great stepping stone in learning how to record and the sound that I’m going for,” she says.

“My first EP was really stripped down, there’s no electronic instruments. It was very kind of back porch-sounding, which was really cool. This new one had a lot more instrumentation, a lot of strings and a lot of organ on it. The musicians did a really beautiful job of bringing out sounds and evoking emotion. There were a few more roots songs, country-tinged songs, which is probably more the direction I’m heading in moving forward,” she adds.

Hol is already starting to think about her next album and

Stephen Dunn and Connor Jessup are eating old-school Cheerios and chatting from Toronto via speakerphone about labels, a pivotal hate crime, and convincing Isabella Rossellini to play a talking hamster.

Dunn’s debut feature Closet Monster is the gutwrenching, occasionally surrealist journey of Oscar Madly (Jessup) as he finds his place in the world and acknowledges his sexuality, burdened with the extra weight of having witnessed a terrible hate crime as a child.

The genesis of the story came from very dark place: a true hate crime committed against a gay teen in St. John’s, N.L. “It really just grew from one image: a young man removing a hate-crime weapon from his stomach, as a moment of overcoming fear and the oppression in his life,” says the director. “I worked backwards from that image to establish the story

of how we get here.”

Jessup, known for the sci-fi series Falling Skies as well as his pivotal role in the most recent American Crime season, came on board after finally getting around to reading the script.

“I was out of the country at the time, and I was very bad, I didn’t read it right away,” he admits. “I was taken with it mainly because I knew who Stephen was, and then when I read it, it didn’t take a lot of convincing.”

In fact, Dunn may always have had Jessup in mind – subconsciously or not – for the role of Oscar: “I wrote the entire script in Hart House at the University of Toronto, where a bunch of nerds and total geeks would go in every week over the summer to play this board game, and one of those nerds was Connor. When I was writing the role, I guess I was writing with him in mind.”

Then Dunn saw Jessup’s performance in Blackbird, about a teen accused of plotting a mass school shooting.

“I knew we’d found him.”

(The nerdy pursuit that

Connor Jessup plays troubled teenager Oscar Madly in Closet Monster, the first feature film from Canadian director Stephen Dunn. PHOTO SUPPLIED caught Dunn’s attention was the ancient game Go, Jessup says. “So that’s my advice to aspiring actors, take up Go!”) Dunn shot in his hometown of St. John’s. Was it too close to home, literally?

“St. John’s is not jaded in the way that Toronto is.

In Newfoundland people are so friendly and warm and excited to work, so there are a lot of benefits to shooting there,” he says. “But emotionally revisiting some of these spaces and stories … it was probably the most stressful period of my life. I had

to overcome my personal struggles, my nervousness of telling the story.”

Oscar deals with a mother who abandons him and a manic, latently homophobic father. He finds asylum in the treehouse they built together, where he works with his friend Gemma (Sofia Banzhaf) on elaborate horror-genre creations and dreams of life as a makeup artist in New York City. Dunn employs these macabre touches and magic realism as a manifestation of Oscar’s tormented state: “Because the content of

the film is from a darker and more tortured space, it lent itself to the horror genre.”

Is it any wonder that Oscar finds solace and wisdom in the company of his hamster, Buffy?

“The voice of Buffy was robotic originally,” says Dunn.

“We were almost completely done. The humour was there but the maternal nature was not.” Dunn was re-watching Isabella Rossellini’s Green Porno series for Sundance, and in one episode she plays

Dunn embraces the queer film label From page 14 a hamster. “I thought that would be amazing! I pitched to it my producers, who had worked with her before.

We had no money, but they loved the idea, sent her the script and she agreed right away.” What followed was a dream day of recording at Rossellini’s home in upstate New York, an “incredible experience” for Dunn.

Closet Monster has generated quite a bit of buzz as a queer film, though Oscar has to come to terms with more than just his sexuality. Dunn says he “embraces” the label, although he never set about making specifically a LGBTQ film. “Yeah, he’s queer and coming to terms with it, but it’s just one man’s personal coming-of-age narrative.”

What’s really exciting, says

Dunn, is the great variety of queer-centric films made for wider audiences. “For a long time queer film has been ghettoized… but it’s no longer categorized solely based on its queerness.”

Jessup has some dark, graphic moments in the film, not unlike his characters in American Crime (where he played a rape victim) and Blackbird. The actor says that while some of these issues are the result of playing teenagers dealing with coming-of-age tropes, the rest is “this chicken/egg thing. Like most people I’m attracted to interesting filmmakers and actors, and that comes about rarely enough that you jump at it.”

“I’m not attracted to edgy stuff specifically… I like to think that I’m a fairly happy guy.”

Jessup has been acting since he was 11. By age 15 he “wanted to be involved in something other than acting” and so he used his earnings from TV’s Saddle Club series to executive produce a film, Amy George. Wouldn’t most teens have spent their earnings on a Jet Ski? “It coincided with my falling in love with movies… The only thing I’ve spent any real money on is film,” he says, before adding, “And food at restaurants because I’m too lazy to cook for myself!”

The 22-year-old has also directed a short film, Boy, and hopes to “beat Stephen” by directing his first feature before the end of next year.

Any plans to collaborate again? “Never, never again,” jokes Dunn, while Jessup says “It’s not up to the actor. Ask Stephen ... I can only hope.”

Hol headed to Sweden for songwriting project From page 13

is starting to pen new tracks, as well, has some co-writing sessions planned with local musicians.

“I’m studying a lot of other musicians who I look up to and just trying to get more into theory and song structure. Up until now I’ve done a lot of free writing, so I’ll just see what comes up in different ideas and inspiration from literature, and people that I’ve met, and

those types of things. I’m trying to mix that with learning from really great songwriters and studying their work. I’m just finding that to be a really interesting way to break down songs and learn more as an artist,” she says.

Further aiding her in her journey are international writing opportunities that she continues to be chosen for. In February, Hol travelled to Austin, Texas, to participate in the House of Songs songwriter exchange

program. She was among 12 musicians from around the world who spent two weeks in a house together, tasked with collaborating on songs and performing live.

“It was a really neat way to keep connecting into the global music community,” says Hol. Next month, Hol is set to travel to Luleå, Sweden for a similar international songwriting initiative.

“A group of writers have been asked to go there and

do co-writing together and then I’m playing a little festival there at the end of summer. It’s my first time to Sweden too,” she says.

Hol will cap off her trip abroad with a performance at the Live at Heart Festival in Örebro.

However, before she jets off, she has a number of local stages to take first, including a gig as part of New Westminster’s Uptown Live, tomorrow, July 23.

Next week, she’s set to

perform at Shorefest, a free community concert series presented by LG104.3 FM, timed with the 2016 Honda Celebration of Light, July 23, 27 and 30. Performances will be offered at the Sunset Beach stage from 2 p.m. until the fireworks at 10 p.m., as well as at a second English Bay stage starting at 7:30 p.m. until the fireworks. Hol is scheduled to take the Sunset Beach stage Wednesday, July 27 at 3 p.m. Other Shorefest

artists include The Matinee, Loverboy, Trooper, Savvie, Dustin Bentall, Jim Byrnes, the Boom Booms and Twin Bandit.

Hol is also gearing up for a North Shore date and is slated to perform at this year’s Harmony Arts Festival, running July 29 to Aug. 7, along West Vancouver’s waterfront. She’s set to take the stage Aug. 3 at 5:45 p.m. as part of the festival’s Garden Concerts in Millennium Park series.

Fashion brand aims to motivate a nation Erin McLeod finds inspiration after devastating knee injury

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

Soccer star Erin McLeod was heartbroken when she injured her anterior cruciate ligament for the third time last March.

It meant undergoing yet another surgery to her right knee and embarking on a lengthy recovery process that would prevent the 33-year-old goalkeeper from joining the Canadian national women’s team at the Rio Olympics this August.

McLeod, a North Vancouver resident who currently plays for Swedish club team FC Rosengard, has been part of the Canadian squad for 14 years and helped lead the women to a bronze medal finish at the 2012 Games in London.

Discouraged after her most recent injury, she wondered if she could keep playing, if it might be time to retire. But then she started unexpectedly getting calls and emails from friends, teammates, family members and fans she’d never met. Instead of just saying “get well soon,” they shared their personal stories of defeat and determination and inspired her to push forward with her recovery and return to the field.

“I don’t know if they understand the kind of impact they had on me,” says McLeod, who’s back in town for a few weeks during a break in the Swedish season.

McLeod was so moved by the stories she heard, she

wanted to share them with the world. On July 1, she launched Motive Nation an inspiration project and fashion brand that, as the name suggests, aims to motivate others. Through interviews and questionnaires, McLeod finds inspirational people and the words they live by. Those words are then artistically inscribed onto T-shirts.

An artist and fashion designer as well as an athlete, McLeod isn’t new to the apparel business having opened the Caposhie clothing boutique at The Village at Park Royal last fall with fellow fashion designer Adelle Renaud. The Motive Nation line is sold online only and follows a crowd-funding business model. Each T-shirt design is made available for a limited time during which customers can place orders.

“If we have enough orders, and enough people invest, then we can go to production.

No shirts get wasted,” McLeod explains.

Ten per cent of every T-shirt profit made goes back to the person who inspired the garment’s phrase, or a charity of their choice, and an additional 10 per cent goes to one of McLeod’s favourite charities, Canada Scores, which gives underprivileged youth the chance to play sports.

Ambassadors who have inspired Motive Nation T-shirts include kayaker Adam van Koeverden, singer Jann Arden, rower Marnie McBean, and a soldier who fought in Afghanistan. There’s lots of

Canadian soccer player Erin McLeod recently launched an inspiration project called Motive Nation. As part of the project, she’s selling limited-run T-shirts emblazoned with quotes from motivational people. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD professional athletes in the mix, thanks to McLeod’s social networks, but she hopes to also receive nominations for ambassadors outside her group of peers.

“We want this to be interactive and we want it to be something where everyone has input and so we’re hoping that people will write in and nominate their teacher or someone who’s inspired them.”

For McLeod, working on the Motive Nation project is about much more than selling T-shirts. “It’s been one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done,” she says.

She envisions Motive Nation growing into an online community where people can not only buy clothing, but also encourage one another through blogs, podcasts, nutrition tips, and more.

“I’ve been really fortunate

to take on this project. I feel like it’s been timely in my life,” she says. “It’s nice to feel, when you’re going through whatever you’re going through, that you’re not alone, and so I’ve been very lucky to be a part of it.”

When it comes to her recovery, McLeod says she’s “ahead of the game” with her rehab and her knee is healing better than expected. That said, she’s had a few physios

tell her she might not get her full range of motion back. But that hasn’t discouraged her.

“I’m too stubborn to listen to anybody,” she says. “At the end of the day, after being part of this, it’s just what you’re passionate about and where your inspiration is, and if it’s there, then you can do anything.”

Crime writer grew up reading the genre

Sam Wiebe finishing up his 2nd Dave Wakeland novel ! Moderator and author Robin Spano speaks with crime and mystery authors William Deverell, Ian Hamilton, and Sam Wiebe Tuesday, Aug. 2, 4-5 p.m. at John Lawson Park. Part of the Harmony Arts Festival’s Readings in the Park program. harmonyarts.ca JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

Sam Wiebe takes a sideways look at my face and comments that if I set my heart on a modelling career I’d never suffer scheduling conflicts – then he shows me pictures of the missing girl.

Wait, my apologies, that wasn’t Sam Wiebe at all, that was the other guy: Dave Wakeland, private investigator.

Wakeland is Encyclopedia Brown with a Cadillac, cruising Metro Vancouver’s streets and dealing with serial killers and lawyers – two groups he finds equally uninteresting.

Asked if he shares many

opinions with Wakeland, Wiebe laughs.

“Just the good ones,” he says.

Growing up in Vancouver, Wiebe was surrounded by detectives; John D. MacDonald’s Travis McGee books from his father and Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe from his mother.

McGee’s quips and Marlowe’s contempt for the crystal doodads of the idle rich are both in evidence in Wakeland.

When discussing what advice he could offer aspiring writers, Wiebe stresses the importance of being knowledgeable in your chosen genre.

“If you want to write mysteries and you don’t read mysteries you’re at a huge disadvantage because you’re just going to come up with ideas like: ‘What if the butler did it? or What if it was twins?’” he says.

“The wider you read the better.”

One of the formative books for Wiebe was Red Harvest, Dashiell Hammet’s

Award-winning writer Sam Wiebe will be part of an upcoming crime and mystery author panel in West Vancouver as part of the annual Harmony Arts Festival. PHOTO SUPPLIED story of a nameless detective in a divided town called Personville (pronounced: Poisonville). The story

Regular tune-ups prevent frustrating breakdowns.

features a nameless hero who at one point announces he hadn’t laughed so much: “since the hogs ate my kid brother.”

“My mom had this really terrible, old paperback copy.

I remember reading that and it blew my mind.”

Despite being a voracious reader, Wiebe said he didn’t seriously put pen to paper until the end of grad school, when he realized he had to write or get off the pot.

Eschewing the distractions of a computer screen, Wiebe wrote 1,000 words every day until he had a book.

For that first novel, Last of the Independents, Wiebe conjured up detective Michael Drayton, a young, independent investigator trying to figure out his place in the world.

For Invisible Dead, Wiebe created Wakeland, a grown-up Hardy Boy. He’s

established, he’s got a partner to deal with, he even has office furniture (albeit fire damaged).

“He’s grappling with his own success,” Wiebe explains.

Wiebe just handed in what he hopes is the final draft of the second Wakeland novel.

“I really do just enjoy writing that character,” he says. “I would be very happy to do that as a series.”

2016 Lexus GS F

Fast and fun, yet comfortable and luxurious

Behind The Wheel David Chao Lexus is expanding its midsize luxury portfolio with the addition of the fire-breathing, top-performing GS F.

If you are looking for comfort and luxury wrapped around a serious sports machine, the GS F may be your answer.

While it’s not as track ready as some of its rivals, such as the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E 63 S, and Cadillac CTS-V, the GS F makes up for it with a reasonable price and reputation for reliability.

The 2016 is the first year Lexus has offered the GS F. This year the entire GS range receives a facelift with a more aggressive style.

Design Historically, Lexus sedans were criticized for being too conservative – but not anymore. The current generation GS, with its bold styling, has been making headlines when it comes to exterior designs.

Featuring the next evolution of Lexus’ L-Finesse design language, the GS F’s massive front grille immediately grabs your attention.

It sits between two highly sculpted and distinctive

The side profile hasn’t changed, and still boasts smooth, curvy lines with a tear-drop shape highlighted

drive and because of it, the GS F offers a unique appeal that is a rarity in today’s marketplace. And, thanks to its 467 horsepower and 389 foot-pounds of torque, it’s mighty fast too, sprinting to 100 kilometres/hour in just 4.6 seconds.

options enhance the sporty and in-your-face themes.

The carbon fibre spoiler that rests on the trunk lid and stacked quad exhaust outlets below remind you this is no ordinary car.

Everything about the GS F gives it a presence that raises your pulse far more than any Lexus from

the past.

Despite its edgy exterior, the cabin is classic Lexus with all the comfort and technology expected from a luxury sedan.

The high-quality materials look good and have a solid feel throughout.

Performance

While the GS F has a modern, contemporary look, Lexus took a more traditional approach under the hood. Most car makers are switching to smaller displacement engines boosted by turbochargers, but the GS F features a proven 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V-8.

The big V-8 is a joy to

Salute beckons to the wartime past

Concept machine is lean, mean and very green Built as a tribute to the original, Fiat-Chrysler’s Jeep Wrangler 75th Salute is mean, lean, and very green. Standing in stark contrast to something like a leather-lined Grand Cherokee, the Salute comes with the Jeep’s base 3.6-litre V-6 engine, a six-speed manual transmission, and 16-inch wheels with 32-inch tires.

Doors?

Nope.

A roof?

Sorry, corporal.

How about satellite navigation?

Pipe down in the ranks there! You’ll go wherever General Patton says you’ll go, up to and including storming the gates of hell.

Painted olive-drab and lettered with military insignia, the Salute is exactly the same kind of Jeep you likely got with your plastic bag of little green army men, way back when.

Sadly, a mounted .50cal is not an available option.

More than 75 years ago, two companies rallied to the United States Army’s request for a light reconnaissance vehicle. The Bantam car company and Willys-Overland were the only two of more than 130 companies contacted for bids. The army’s 49-day deadline looked impossible from the outside, and their demands were steep.

Body roll subdued and contained From page 32 However, the GS F is not just fast in a straight line. Lexus has reworked the suspension setup of the standard GS to give the GS F its own character. You never forget about the sheer size of the GS F, though, but the body roll is subdued and contained.

Lexus gave the GS F a new traction control and electronic stability program. This helps it achieve maximum grip throughout the corner by varying the amount of power sent to the two rear-drive wheels.

A dynamic drive system offers four different drive settings. The eight-speed automatic transmission feels like a

See Comfortable page 37 While the GS F has a modern, contemporary look, Lexus took a more traditional approach under the hood. Most car makers are switching to smaller displacement engines boosted by turbochargers, but the GS F features a proven 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V-8. PHOTO SUPPLIED

Comfortable cabin conducive to long drives From page 36 sequential manual when in Sport Plus mode, with lightning quick gear changes while using the steering wheel-mounted shifters. The other settings, Eco, Normal and Sport, also alter throttle response and steering weight.

Powered by a big V-8, it’s not surprising that the GS F doesn’t have the best fuel economy. Also, keep in mind it will be difficult to match Lexus’ claimed 12.5 litres/100 kilometre combined rating if you happen to run into heavy traffic or fancy a spirited run.

About the only downside is that the ride can be surprisingly firm and stiff, to the point where you would likely not drive this vehicle too often in the stiffest suspension mode.

Environment As mentioned, the cabin of the GS F is highly comfortable and allows you to drive for hours without getting tired or bored. The standard

17-speaker premium audio system helps pass the time.

Lexus has earned a reputation for making some of the most luxurious interiors in the industry, and the GS F doesn’t disappoint. The front seats hold you firmly and the thick leather steering wheel feels great in hand.

Thanks to its fairly large body, the GS F is quite spacious inside, too. There is plenty of room for rear-seat passengers and it still offers 14 cubic feet of cargo space.

One of the main attractions of the GS F is its mix of sports car-like performance with the practicality of a sedan.

The GS F receives some exclusive technology features that are advanced and ahead of the curve. The easy-to-read gauge cluster has different themes depending on drive mode, and there are some interesting displays including G-force meter and lap timer.

Where Jeep name came from a mystery

From page 34

initially, Probst worked without salary.

Apparently, if you’re not getting paid by the hour, you work fast. It took Probst just two days to sketch out full plans for the machine. Called the Bantam Reconnaissance Car, a handbuilt prototype was sent to the army for testing in September of 1940. It passed with flying colours, missing only the torque requirements: the BRC made 83 foot-pounds.

Trouble was, Bantam as a company was far too small and shaky to supply the needs of a country that was about to engage in war on two fronts.

The army took the Bantam design to both Willys and Ford, and asked them to submit their own changes and updates.

From this strange threesided development process, one single, recognizable Jeep emerged. From the Ford Pygmy, we got the familiar seven-bar Jeep grille. From the Willys Quad, we got the 2.2-litre “Go Devil” engine that would power nearly every original Jeep made. It produced 55 horsepower and 105 foot-pounds of torque, a fifth more than the army requirements. This final design would be the one that officially went into production in 1941, making the Jeep brand 75 years old this year.

Pygmy, Quad, BRC – so where does Jeep come in?

Funnily enough, there’s no clear etymology to the name.

The best guess anyone has is a contraction of GP for General Purpose, the name the army gave its plucky little vehicle. There was also “Eugene the Jeep,” a character from a Popeye comic strip.

Wherever the Jeep name came from, it grew out of slang used by the soldiers who were driving them.

They went everywhere and anywhere they were needed, both in the Pacific and European theatres, grinding through the mud and trudging up beaches.

They laid down communications lines, carried

stretchers, towed light artillery.

Basically, the original Jeep was a sort of combatready donkey.

Even before the war ended, Willys-Overland realized that the tough, plucky little Jeep would work just as well as a plowshare as it would as a sword. The first civilian version was called the CJ-2A, and was built in 1945. It had bigger headlights, a tailgate, and a side-mounted spare tire, along with a host of small improvements to make it a little easier to live with day-to-day.

After several developments, the CJ-5 version of the Jeep was introduced in 1955.

There were versions before and after the CJ-5, but its production run was an incredible 29 years, lasting until 1984. The longer CJ-7, introduced during America’s bicentennial, overlapped production of the CJ-5 and eventually outcompeted it. And then, in 1987, we got the Wrangler, also known in Jeep circles as the YJ. A Wrangler is what you can buy today, if you’re looking for a quote-unquote real Jeep. Despite threequarters of a century of refinement, the bones are still there. A modern Wrangler is much larger than its basic little ancestor – especially if you opt for the four-door version – but the similarities are clear.

With the Land Rover Defender now defunct, the Wrangler represents a kind of vehicle you simply don’t find on the roads any more. The Jeep brand offers SUVs and Crossovers, but they are as defined by the original Jeep in the same way Mazda is defined by the Miata. You can buy vehicles with more stuff in them, but pare all the layers back, and you get to a simple ideal.

The hope is, with emission requirements growing ever more stringent, that the Wrangler’s simple, honest construction can continue to find enough fans that Jeep doesn’t have to civilize it entirely.

As the Wrangler Salute proves, all the creature comforts in the world are wonderful, but sometimes you just want to drive something that doesn’t even have any doors. mcaleeronwheels@gmail.com
