LYNN CANYON

Cliff jumping promotion irks officials BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

It’s the exact opposite of the message they’ve been trying to send.

District of North Vancouver officials were dismayed this week to see a local lifestyle blog tacitly endorse cliff jumping in Lynn Canyon.

District of North Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services members have been called out for canyon rescues more than 70 times this year. In March, Coquitlam teen Cole Marsh drowned when he slipped under the water and could not surface.

But the local blog, VIVA Lifestyle & Travel named Lynn Canyon as one of its Top 6 swimming holes in Metro Vancouver, in part, because of the cliff jumping that’s done there.

“It’s easy to see why Lynn Canyon is a popular destination for Vancouverites to escape the busy city when in search of a gorgeous spot to splash in a natural pool. The area at the top of the trail is a popular cliff diving venue in the summer with great heights for a fun free-fall,” wrote blogger Catríona Hughes.

Warning issued after near miss in Inlet BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority is issuing a stern warning after a near-collision between a recreational boater and a freighter

The incident, which was caught on surveillance video, happened just west of the Lions Gate Bridge on the evening of July 17 when the pleasure craft cut sharply in front of the bow of a bulk carrier steaming into port.

The Vancouver Police Department has opened its own investigation and is still considering whether criminal charges would be appropriate. They have identified the boat and interviewed the owner as well as the operator, according to Const. Brian Montague, VPD spokesman.

In the meantime, the port is hoping more boaters will heed the flotilla of laws and Transport Canada safety regulations that govern boating around English Bay, First Narrows, Second

PAUL SULLIVAN: SEIZING A DAY TO CELEBRATE THE NORTH SHORE PAGE 8

District, police take issue with local blog

From page 1

The district emailed the Viva’s publisher on Tuesday.

“We’ve asked them to either remove Lynn Canyon or revise it so that it doesn’t encourage people to go cliff jumping. I shared with them some of our concerns. It’s an extremely dangerous thing to be doing,” said Stephanie Smiley, district spokeswoman.

“We’re working really hard to make sure people are aware of how dangerous it is out there.

Our focus is to make sure that visitors to the park are aware of that. . . . We want them to enjoy it, but we want them to enjoy it safely.”

The blog’s editor responded to the district mid-day Thursday to apologize. The offending sentence about cliff jumping has been removed. Attempts by North Shore News to contact Viva went unanswered.

The police too were frustrated with the counterproductive message.

“This is still an outdoor environment. It’s not a swimming pool. There’s no lifeguards on duty, there’s no diving boards. It’s really a risky behaviour where

New signs that attempt to dissuade would-be cliff jumpers from taking the plunge were installed in Lynn Canyon this summer. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH nothing is guaranteed to turn out the way you think it will,” said Cpl. Richard De Jong, North Vancouver RCMP spokesman.

Earlier this year, the district launched a new awareness campaign and installed warning signs targeting

Millennials by using language they’re most used to seeing on social media. Increased visits and injuries in district parks are attributed to word spreading about them online.

The Vancouver-based Viva appears to be targeting the same demographic, according

to Capilano University marketing instructor Mary Charleson. Lifestyle blogs, like Viva, are typically marketing tools that use their reach on social media to glean information about their readers’ habits, which can then be used to tailor advertising to

them, Charleson said.

Earlier this year, Molson Coors Canada and their ad agency Rethink Canada also stepped in it when the company ran a TV ad campaign encouraging skiers

and snowboarders to go out of bounds, contrary to safety messages from North Shore Rescue. Coors later edited the offending ad and promised to donate to the B.C. Search and Rescue Association.

Narrows and the Vancouver inner harbour, and keep clear of port activities.

Kevin Obermeyer, CEO of the Pacific Pilotage Authority, which guides ocean-going vessels into the narrow harbour, said close calls like this happen about three or four times a year.

“It’s largely due to the fact that a lot of these recreational vessels don’t realize that when they get within a certain distance of a deep sea ship, they cannot be seen,” he said. “It can be as much as 500 or 600 metres, and even if you were, there’s not much a deep sea ship can do if the vessel suddenly had an engine failure and stopped.”

The pilotage authority has been trying to get that message out via pamphleting at local marinas.

Drivers of smaller boats often believe they can quickly get out of the way of tankers, which is dangerous thinking, Obermeyer said.

“Even if we put the wheel hard over . . . and put the engine full astern, chances are we wouldn’t be able to stop,” he said. “Had they collided, there would have been little or

The near-miss between a freighter and a recreational boat was captured on video. PHOTO SUPPLIED no damage to the freighter but there probably would have been very, very large damage and possibly injuries as well to the recreational vessel. You’re looking at David and Goliath here.”

Obermeyer said he often sees sailboaters incorrectly believing they have the right of way.

“In a channel approaching the port, they don’t have the right of way,” he said. “It’s all about education.”

With the exception of a narrow strip along Ambleside and the mouth

of the Capilano River, anything east of Navvy Jack Point in West Vancouver is considered off limits for fishing, crabbing, sailing, rowing, jet-skiing, anchoring or watersports. Boaters must keep to the right of the channel used by deep sea vessels while transiting the First and Second Narrows and avoid port terminals and the aircraft operations area in Coal Harbour.

Near misses like the one on July 17 are all investigated by Transport Canada, the Canadian Coast Guard and if necessary, the police.

Having just concluded their night’s exercises, the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue team was just pulling up to the dock at Horseshoe Bay when a father flagged them down.

“This gentleman . . . was running down the dock, looking somewhat frantic and waving his arms,” said RCM-SAR coxswain Ian Grantham.

“His kids were missing.”

The teenaged kayakers had headed toward the Sunshine Coast three hours earlier but hadn’t left a trip plan or taken any means of communication.

“He’d told them to be back before the sun was set and they weren’t back yet,” Grantham said.

Despite having “no idea where to go,” the RCM-SAR crew scoured the

darkening sound from Snug Cove to Gambier Island.

They were still searching when the Coast Guard alerted them to two kayakers on Bowyer Island who seemed “a little confused.”

They were a little cold and a little wet, but “certainly relieved and certainly happy” to see the marine rescuers, Grantham reported.

They ferried the duo and their kayak back to Horseshoe Bay and their anxious father.

“We had a little discussion about taking out a radio and/or a phone and/or letting people know where you’re going,” Grantham said.

The incident is a reminder for kayakers to exercise caution, according to Grantham.

“Much the same as when you’re going hiking in the back woods, tell someone where you’re going, when you’re going to be back, and have a method of communication.”

Kayakers should also be cautious of ferry traffic, he warned.

“A little kayak with a couple people in it sometimes does not show up on radar,” Grantham said.

Stifling SeaBus ride too much for some riders

Commuters question whether air conditioning is working properly JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

At least a few commuters are warming up to TransLink – and that’s the problem.

Taking a ride in either of the two newest members of the SeaBus fleet – the Pacific Breeze and the Burrard Otter II – is like sealing yourself in a “sardine can,” according to frequent commuter and Lower Lonsdale resident Angela Schreiner.

Both vessels have working air conditioning, responded TransLink spokesman Chris Bryan.

“When you have a full load of 385 passengers the (Pacific Breeze) can get quite warm during the 10-minute journey, regardless of whether or not you have air conditioning,” he stated in an email.

The difference between the older and newer ferries is a matter of several degrees, according to Schreiner.

While the air conditioning is still “fantastic” in the older ferries, the newer vessels are stifling, particularly during summer days when nearly 400 sweltering commuters pile into a boat. “It’s (a health emergency) waiting to happen, and for such a silly reason,” Schreiner said.

While the ride across the reach is brief – between 10 and 14 minutes – the commute is still too long for someone with health problems, according to Schreiner.

“I’m 32, and if I’m having difficulty breathing and I feel faint and nauseated . . . think of people twice my age.”

Schreiner’s mother, Georgine, recently felt sick and dizzy after a particularly hot SeaBus ride.

“It was unbelievable,” Georgine said. “(There was) no moving air.”

The ride left Georgine depleted and fearful about the effect the heat had on her

blood pressure.

Schreiner’s assessment of the old vessels versus the new ferries was corroborated by frequent SeaBus commuter Michael Doherty.

“The old Burrard Beaver and Otter had fantastic AC, like iceboxes on a hot day.

The newer vessels compare poorly,” he stated in an email.

As a student who takes SeaBuses and SkyTrains daily, Schreiner is hopeful B.C.’s transit provider will shell out cold cash for cool air.

“I sold my car three years ago so I’m completely dependent on public transit,” she said, explaining that augmenting the air conditioning is one area where “cost savings are not recommended.”

Approximately 85 per cent of commuters gave SeaBus service a positive review in the first quarter of 2016, according to TransLink’s most recent customer survey.

SeaBus ridership rebounded in 2016 after TransLink recorded an alltime low in the last quarter of 2015.

Child benefit payment not discriminatory

Human rights complaint by former teacher tossed BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has shot down a former Bodwell High School teacher’s attempt to get paid child benefits, despite not having any children of his own.

Ben Nelson filed a human rights complaint alleging the North Vancouver private school’s policy to pay an extra benefit to teachers for every dependent child they have amounted to discrimination based on family status, which is barred by the

Human Rights Code.

Acknowledging that raising and educating children is becoming more and more costly, the private boarding school on Harbourside Drive began offering teachers and staff who worked there $1,200 per year per child up to the age of 17 in 2010.

But Nelson, who worked at the school from 2009 to 2014 and did not have any kids, argued it was unfair that the benefit was only made available to people who were primary guardians, and that it was akin to paying him a lower wage based on his

Bodwell High School successfully argued that benefits paid only to employees with children were not discriminatory. FILE PHOTO family status.

“Mr. Nelson claims that he felt belittled because he did not earn as much as the others, even those who had been there a shorter time,” tribunal member Catherine

McCreary wrote in her summary of the arguments. “He says it was unfair. He says he tried to raise the issue with his co-workers but he says he was belittled, harassed and humiliated for raising it. He says it was the most stressful time of his life. In his testimony, Mr. Nelson claimed that it was not his intention to stop the (child benefit scheme); he just wanted to receive a payment too.”

While governments may pass legislation aimed to benefit one group over another for the overall benefit of society, the private sector has an obligation to follow the Human Rights Code, Nelson argued.

Being young, single and male were generally not

characteristics that attract discrimination McCreary noted, although she conceded there was a distinction in the benefits he was entitled to from his work.

Bodwell’s lawyer, however, argued that Nelson was compensated for his work in the same amount and in the same way as his fellow employees, and that child bonus was not discrimination because the money ultimately goes to benefit the children.

“Bodwell argues that everyone is eligible to obtain the benefit to assist with child rearing and it is not associated with the employee’s salary or the work performed,” McCreary wrote.

Ultimately, McCreary sided with Bodwell.

“I agree with the position urged by Bodwell ... that it has long been established in Canadian law that differential treatment alone is not sufficient to establish discrimination,” she wrote.

“It appears to me that Mr. Nelson’s exclusion from the benefit is justified in that he has not incurred the costs that the benefit is designed to offset. He is therefore not qualified. The lack of qualification for the benefit does not amount to discrimination,” she wrote.

Six-storey project to go to public hearing

JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

A proposed Mountain Highway development would help the North Shore’s housing shortage – but it might also chase out a tech company in the process.

District of North Vancouver council recently split on sending the sixstorey, 63-unit, mixed-use project to public hearing later this year.

The site is currently occupied by Northwest Mettech Corporation, a tech company that strengthens industrial and aerospace components with thermal spray technology. Mettech’s lease expired in June.

“I think we continue to degrade our industrial property by allowing residential redevelopments,” said Coun.

Lisa Muri, who voted against the development.

Mettech currently occupies approximately 9,600 square feet. The new proposal includes six commercial units totalling approximately 5,600 square feet.

While the project meets the district’s aims of augmenting housing diversity, Muri argued the municipality didn’t consider the loss of industrial property when drafting the official community plan.

“The net loss of commercial and industrial properties was never on the table and never considered in the Lower Lynn area,” she said.

Coun. Roger Bassam admonished Muri, suggesting that denying the public the right to debate the proposal was “very anti-democratic.”

“I’m very disappointed that we’re now – almost routinely – based on philosophical objection to development, saying we don’t

want to have first readings and public hearings.”

Mayor Richard Walton echoed Bassam’s comments.

“I’m very concerned with the message we send out to the development community when something comes forward … that is consistent with our OCP and we don’t go to first reading,” said Walton.

Council has denied several rezoning proposals the right to go to public hearing, Muri countered.

“Why waste the applicant’s money and time on detailed submissions and drawings when there was a split on council?” she asked.

The new proposal, which offers a mix of one- two- and three-bedroom units is the best fit for 467 Mountain Hwy., according to Coun.

Robin Hicks.

“This whole area is ideal for modern, clean industries, integrated with housing and apartments,” he said.

While there was some uncertainty among council and staff about exactly what thermal spray technology is, Coun. Doug MacKay-Dunn opposed the rezoning.

“I’m concerned that if we lose these people, I think we’ll never get them back.”

Coun. Jim Hanson agreed.

Businesses such as Mettech benefit the economy while helping the District of North Vancouver, “have a complete community whereby people can stay on the North Shore and do business and work,” Hanson said.

Council voted 4-3 to send the project to public hearing with Muri, MacKayDunn and Hanson opposed.

Bassam, Walton, Hicks and Coun. Mathew Bond voted in favour.

If the project is ultimately approved, the developer will have to pay the district a density bonus of $705,000.

The project’s floor space ratio – which measures the building’s total floor space against the size of its lot – would be 3.5.

The project’s approval would also mean new sidewalks and a bike lane along Mountain Highway.

units would be accessed off Mountain Highway while the building’s lobby and one commercial property would be accessed off Charlotte Road.

A report commissioned by the developer projected the mid-rise building would create another 33 trips during the morning rush hour and an extra 54 trips in the evening commute.

Games on

T

he 2016 Rio de Janeiro summer Olympics kick off today, and by many accounts, it’s shaping up to be a five-ring circus.

The Russians may or may not be allowed to compete thanks to widespread, state-sponsored doping. Some athletes have bowed out over the threat of the Zika virus. Watersports competitors have been told to keep their heads out of the water, thanks to dangerous levels of pollution, and the whinging from the world’s press about the state of the Olympic village is surpassing the personal bests set in 2014 in Sochi.

A recent Angus Reid poll found 31 per cent of Canadians say the Games are more about corporate sponsors than athletics and a majority said they wouldn’t want their friends or family members to go compete.

Add in the perennial scandals over

bribery, cost overruns, security concerns, diversion of a nation’s badly needed resources in the name of a two-week party and the politicization of amateur sport, and it’s easy to give in to some Olympiclevel cynicism.

Despite it all, we maintain the Olympic spirit and it’s not because we’ve got a sudden interest in synchronized diving.

The Games are a source of tremendous human stories that will inevitably eclipse our petty moments of criticism. When an injured athlete is helped across the finish line by a competitor, when displays of international co-operation and sportsmanship turn athletes into role models, the games become worth far more than their weight in scandal.

Yep, there will be problems, but we promise, these aren’t the things you’ll be thinking of when those golden moments happen.

Seizing a day to celebrate the North Shore

W

hat did you do to celebrate B.C. Day? It was a perfect day, so your options were almost infinite. For just a few examples, you could march in the Pride Parade with the PM, appreciate creativity at the Harmony Arts Festival or ride your bike up Cypress Mountain.

The good North Shore Middle Aged Man in Lycra (MAMIL) that I am, I chose to ride my bike up Cypress Mountain. For the record, it took more than an hour to climb the 12 kilometres to the top, so I had lots of time to think.

Frankly, it was more asking questions than coming to conclusions, such as “Why am I voluntarily climbing 1,000 metres in the lowest gear possible and it still feels like going for a walk on a sunny day on Jupiter?” Or the ever-popular, “When will it

CONTACTUS

The North Side Paul Sullivan ever end?”

But end it does. Every time I do this (You’ve done it before? And you’re doing it again? Are you nuts?), I’m uplifted by the glorious sight of the power lines that signal the summit. After that, of course, you turn around and go back down. And that’s the payoff, challenging the 60-kilometres/hour speed limit on your bicycle while staying alert for the tar seam

in the road that could bring it all to an abrupt and abrasive conclusion. It takes about nine minutes. There’s no time to think, just do.

That’s OK, because I did all of my quality thinking on the way up. And here’s what I thought: The August long weekend is the best time to appreciate the endless bounties of beautiful British Columbia (instead of February, say, when we appreciate staying indoors with our families, huddled by the fire).

And if it’s a good time to celebrate B.C., it’s also a great time to appreciate the North Shore. Because, believe it or not, while there’s a Canada Day and a B.C. Day, there’s no North Shore Day. And the North Shore is where we live, isn’t it? Of course, we also dwell in those senior jurisdictions, but North Shore is another word for home.

For some reason, we have chopped it all up into

even smaller pieces. Is there another place in the world that divides itself up into North Vancouver (city) and North Vancouver (district), even when it’s the same place? I guess there’s some argument for West Vancouver, although it’s a South SurreyWhite Rock kind of argument, also known as bragging rights.

Really, from Deep Cove to Lion’s Bay, there’s only one North Shore. And some time in the future, in the spirit of ecumenism, we should welcome Squamish into the fold (although Squamish doesn’t strike me as a joiner).

At least one day a year, we have to put aside our petty differences and bureaucratic boundaries, and celebrate what must be the most fabulous place on the Earth.

Such hyperbole is usually reserved for Disneyland, but we have the world’s greatest theme park: Mountainland,

Forestland, Beachland and Oceanland. On any given day, you can ride your bike, run, hike, golf, play tennis, sunbathe, swim, scuba dive, snowshoe, cross-country ski, sail or go for coffee.

Admittedly, you’d have to start at dawn and the skiing’s not so hot in August, but it’s all technically possible. And is there anywhere else on Earth where you can get lost in the wilderness 100 metres from the parking lot? Is that not worth celebrating? Yet, to my surprise and chagrin, there is no North Shore Day. You could argue that every day is North Shore Day, but that sounds like a participation medal to me. What we need is a robust, red-blooded day with a parade we can call our own.

OK, if you’re with me on this, we need to identify a day. The first weekend in August is arguably the best weekend of the year, but as

much as I hate to admit it, we’re too late. It’s been taken since 1996, thanks to an act of the B.C. Legislature. And Canada, that place that starts in Hope, has the other primetime weekend in July.

I’ve checked, and amazingly, June is the only month without a stat holiday (March and April share Easter) and the first weekend in June is wide open. If we act quickly, we can make it ours. And the skiing’s still pretty good.

Over to you Darrell Mussatto, Richard Walton and Michael Smith. With any luck, I won’t be scaling Cypress Mountain again any time soon.

INQUIRINGREPORTER Will you watch the Olympics?

We all remember getting up around 4 a.m. to watch the Canadian men’s hockey team shut out Sweden during the last Winter Olympics.

Fortunately, with only a four-hour time difference between Vancouver and Rio, we won’t be so bleary-eyed at work after cheering on our local athletes competing in various Olympic events. But with summer vacation in full swing, will you make the time to watch the world’s best athletes compete for a medal?

What special meaning do the Olympics hold for you?

New tax moves the problem elsewhere Dear Editor: After having read and listened to ongoing debates about foreign investors buoying the real estate market, I looked forward to something from our government that would help stabilize things.

Unfortunately, much to my and most people’s surprise, what was unilaterally thrust upon us without warning is something that’s likely to totally destabilize the Lower Mainland’s housing market and similarly disrupt markets across British Columbia.

The Lower-Mainland-only 15 per cent tax legislation, launched with only days notice, has sent shock waves throughout the Lower

Mainland. This isn’t the stabilizing effect that’s been debated for months. Because this taxation isn’t provincewide, it means foreign investors will simply move their capital to Victoria, Kelowna, Kamloops, etc., destabilizing their housing markets. Moving a problem isn’t solving a problem.

This instant real estate boon elsewhere will likely be very welcome ... at least for a while. But it makes me wonder who’s behind legislation that quenches the Lower Mainland market while leaving the foreign-investment door open everywhere else?

There’s money being made, somewhere!

Poop fairies aren’t in the cleanup crew Dear Editor: I have two dogs after whom I clean up on their daily walks. I am always seeing bags of dog poop left behind by irresponsible dog owners who must think that the poop fairies will remove it. It would be better if they didn’t bag it to preserve for all time. They could just move it off the sidewalk or people’s lawns and leave it for the environment to re-absorb. I understand that secreting it in garbage with other household garbage is creating a contamination hazard in landfills. Ultimately dogs are great, but if one can’t deal with what dogs produce, don’t own a dog.

Zika virus a health concern for all Dear Editor: Having listened to several media programs on the Zika virus from mosquitoes in Rio I am concerned that they only mention the microcephaly problem where pregnant women can produce defective babies. Nothing is ever mentioned about the other

problem that can result from the virus, which is the Guillain-Barre Syndrome. In this, the immune system will attack the peripheral nervous system causing loss of muscle control and strength and inability to breathe. It can cause permanent muscular damage — not good

for any person, especially athletes. One in 20 can die.

One sufferer I met woke up in hospital two weeks after being affected. I was paralysed for a month. It is not nice — read about zika-gbs on the Internet.

PUBLIC NOTICE OF INTENT

Lower Lonsdale Business Improvement Area Service

Council initiative to undertake a local area service -- Business Improvement Area (BIA)

Public Notice is hereby given pursuant to section 213 of the Community Charter that the City of North Vancouver Council proposes to undertake a local area service on its own initiative, specifically the Lower Lonsdale Business Improvement Area Service.

What is the Lower Lonsdale Business Improvement Area? A Business Improvement Area (BIA) is a defined commercial area, where local business and property owners work together to promote the area to increase customer traffic and undertake a broad range of programs, including area branding, marketing, physical improvements, promotional events, commercial tenant recruitment and advocacy on behalf of the business community. A BIA is managed by a not-for-profit society and its operations are primarily funded through a special tax levy on all commercial properties within its boundaries. This is a self-funding mechanism in that 100 percent of the levy collected by the local government is granted to the BIA to fund its own programs.

The Lower Lonsdale Business Improvement Area Service is the provision of grants to the Lower Lonsdale Business Improvement Association (the Association) for the planning and implementation of a business promotion scheme as defined in Section 215(1) of the Community Charter. The Lower Lonsdale Business Improvement Area Service includes the development and undertaking of projects and initiatives to encourage business in the Lower Lonsdale commercial area.

Boundaries of the service area (commercial properties subject to the annual BIA levy): The boundaries of the Lower Lonsdale Business Improvement Area are shown in heavy outline on the map.

Dear Editor: Re: John Lawson Park Toilets a Disgrace, July 31 Mailbox.

For anyone who feels the John Lawson Park facilities need an upgrade, please see the included photo of North Vancouver’s Harbour Park’s only facility, noting that it is also the only one on the Spirit Trail between the quay and Park Royal. With all the new industrial/ office space and schools being built in the direct neighbourhood, it’s obvious that sewer and fresh water infrastructure is in place, but try to explain that to any young family visiting the park who suddenly has to get their children to the nearest acceptable facility, that being perhaps Capilano Mall. Makes John Lawson’s facilities look pretty good!

SUBJECT AREA Estimated costs of the service: Pursuant to Section 215(2) of the Community Charter, the estimated costs of the Lower Lonsdale Business Improvement Area Service are as follows: an amount not exceeding $500,000 in 2017, and the aggregate amount of annual grants to the Association shall not exceed $2,630,000 over the term of the service. The term of the service is 5 years, commencing January 1, 2017.

Proposed Method of Cost Recovery: For the purpose of recovering the monies granted to the Association, in any year, the City will impose a property value tax on land or improvements (or both where both are present) in the Lower Lonsdale Business Improvement Area that fall within the Class 6 (Business and Other) property classification under the Assessment Act, sufficient to yield the full amount of the grant in each calendar year.

To be honest I was somewhat confused by his comments.

Is Mr. Wilson trying to imply that Liberty Wines somehow “duped” the council? If this is the case, then why not take this matter up with the council rather than laying the blame squarely

on the shoulders of Liberty Wines?

Come on, Mr. Wilson – as consumers we need more choice not less.

To me, his comments were nothing more than just “sour grapes.”

Opportunity to Petition Against: Council may proceed with the adoption of the proposed “Lower Lonsdale Business Improvement Area Service Bylaw, 2016, No. 8494”, unless a sufficient number of petitions against the service are presented in writing to the City Clerk, City Hall, 141 West 14th Street, North Vancouver, BC V7M 1H9, no later than 4:00 pm, September 14, 2016.

If a sufficient petition(s) against the service are not received within the required time period, it is the intent of the City of North Vancouver Council to consider adoption of the proposed “Lower Lonsdale Business Improvement Area Service Bylaw, 2016, No. 8494” at its October 3, 2016 Regular meeting.

The proposed Bylaw and background material will be available for viewing at City Hall between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday, except Statutory Holidays, from August 5, 2016, and online at www.cnv.org/LowerLonsdaleBIA.

BRIGHTLIGHTS! by Paul McGrath Football reunion For the fourth time in the last 14 years, football alumni members from the North Shore Lions, Cougars, Wildcats and Argos (junior and juvenile teams that competed in Lower Mainland football leagues), gathered at the Capilano Rugby Club clubhouse on June 25 to reminisce about their playing days and renew old friendships. More than 60 ex-players from the now defunct teams, the last to fold being the Cougars who played into 1983, pored over photos and newspaper clippings, and viewed old home movies of games from the past. Some of the attendees went on to careers in the Canadian Football League, such as Greig Bjarnason, and others, like event co-organizer Larry Reda, have been inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame.

Best of Bach

! Mass in B Minor by J. S. Bach, Friday Aug. 5, 7:30 p.m.

by Early Music Vancouver. Tickets and info: earlymusic.bc.ca.

JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

For a pious child, it must have seemed like God was in the machine.

The pipe organ seemed to stretch toward the roof of the church like a sinner beseeching his deity for one last reprieve.

Asked about his introduction to music as a child in Munich, Germany, conductor Alex Weimann laughs, first saying he can hardly remember.

But amid the blur of childhood there are always a few

mental images that never fray, pictures where the lines are always sharp and the colours crisp.

For Weimann, that image was the pipe organ.

“With many keyboards and all these pistons and knobs, they look like a flight deck,” he marvels.

The machinery fascinated him but it was the music that compelled him.

He loved jazz, but there was a deep allure to the early music that seemed to call from across the centuries; the baroque sonatas, the medieval cantatas, the worshipful hymns.

At age 10, he’d made his decision.

“I really knew I needed to be a musician,” he says.

If there was a single composer who set him on his path, it was Johann Sebastian Bach.

During his life, Bach was a celebrated musician but

somewhat overlooked as a composer. What may be his masterpiece, the Mass in B Minor, wasn’t performed in its entirety for more than a century after Bach’s death. At least one 18th century German music critic, the composer Johann Adolph Scheibe, blasted Bach for his tendency towards Italian complexity, calling his musical style turgid and confused.

Even in an era of musical genius, Bach may have been too smart for the room.

“For musicians, (Bach’s music is) very interesting material because it’s so amazingly clever,” Weimann says.

Even before a note is played, Bach’s music achieves a sort of mathematical perfection on the page, according to Weimann. It’s something he calls “eye music.”

“It’s something that almost can’t be grasped by listening

REVIEW: OTHELLO

Frazer brings fresh vision to Othello Bard on the Beach staging set in the American Civil War ! Othello is at Bard on the

Beach until Sept. 17. For tickets, call 604-739-0559 or go to bardonthebeach.org.

JO LEDINGHAM Contributing writer

In Shakespeare’s tragedy, Othello is warned by Iago against jealousy, “the green-eyed monster,” but Iago has already sown the seeds and has been assiduously feeding “the monster” in retaliation for being overlooked for promotion.

As well, there’s the unlikely possibility that Othello has been between the sheets with Emilia, Iago’s wife. Even if it’s a false rumour, Iago’s pride is wounded. What if he is perceived as a cuckold? Added to Iago’s complex motivation is racism; Othello is black, Desdemona is fair and theirs is a marriage not approved of in Shakespeare’s time or during the American Civil War, the period in which director Bob Frazer sets this

production.

It’s surprising – and to Frazer’s credit – how quickly we forget that Shakespeare located the play in Venice not Charleston, South Carolina; how readily we accept Mara Gottler’s gorgeous “bird-cage,” Scarlett O’Hara-ish gowns and military uniforms; and how easily we enjoy the incidental music – with banjo – including “Dixie,” so synonymous with the American South. If you accept that Othello’s vulnerability is his feeling of racial inferiority, Frazer’s relocation of the play makes sense.

Set designer Amir Ofek was charged with designing a single set for both Othello and Pericles – two plays set in very different locations.

Crumbling, truncated marble columns form a backdrop to the lightly raked mosaic tile floor; furniture is moved on and off as required.

Remarkably, two coffin-like boxes are transformed, with the addition of white silk sheets, into the canopied bed on which Desdemona dies at the hand of Othello.

Luc Roderique’s Othello is sublimely charismatic: tall, athletically built with a trim black beard and moustache.

In the early part of the play, Roderique’s smile, boyish charm, virile physicality and boundless enthusiasm leave no doubt that Desdemona would fall in love with this Moor. By the end of the play, however, Roderique seems to have shrunk in stature, his eyes have lost their sparkle and his body language is that of a man completely undone.

Desdemona, excellently portrayed by Kayla Deorksen, goes through a parallel disintegration.

Deorksen simply effervesces at the beginning; her Desdemona is clearly, delightfully in love. But as Othello falls under Iago’s spell, Deorksen finds maturity and gravitas in Desdemona.

Iago’s ploy is to convince Othello that Cassio, one of his lieutenants, has been intimate with Desdemona.

Actor Jeff Gladstone is an interesting choice in the role; his Cassio is longhaired, silly, a drunkard and not one to whom Desdemona might be attracted. But Gladstone has charm and Desdemona has an affection for this Cassio such as she might have for a ne’er do well cousin. The pity is that Othello cannot distinguish between Desdemona’s affection for and – what Iago implies – lust for Cassio.

Strange in this play is

that Iago’s wife Emilia (Luisa Jojic), who doesn’t have a lot to say throughout the play, comes in at the end with a lengthy, scorching diatribe against men in general: “The ills we (women) do, their (men’s) ills instruct us so.”

Later, she condemns Othello and Iago and berates herself for her part in the tragedy.

Strange, too, is that she plays along with Iago, seeking his attention, but fails to see, until it’s too late, how she is complicit.

The play could be called Iago for, really, he is the driving force. Kayvon Kelly is compact and dynamic, rendering an Iago who ruthlessly pursues revenge against his former friend.

We see Iago’s gears shifting as he plans the successive moves in his clearly stated desire to destroy Othello.

Kelly provides transparency – as much as it’s possible – into the mind of one of theatre’s most reviled villains.

Director Frazer’s fresh vision and strong performances by this cast of 12 make this a memorable Othello. If Desdemona’s death doesn’t bring tears to your eyes, Othello’s frailty might.

REVIEW: LO AND BEHOLD

Herzog doc ponders the online world

! Lo And Behold: Reveries of a

Connected World. Written and directed by Werner Herzog.

Rating: 7 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD Contributing writer

Those hoping for a particularized history of the Internet will not find it in Werner Herzog’s playfully thought-provoking Lo and Behold: Reveries of a Connected World.

First of all, the “reveries” of the title should have prepared you for a meandering exploration of our century’s most astounding achievement, not a comprehensive one.

Secondly, it’s Werner Herzog, he who revels in smudging the lines between reality and fiction, he who can’t resist injecting more poetry and drama into his films than is typically called for.

That is why when Leonard Kleinrock, our first guest, takes us to that “sacred location, a holy place” from whence the first Internet message was sent, he is loudly accompanied by Wagner’s Das Rheingold (written exactly one century earlier). And why Herzog has the moxie to ask his subjects – Internet pioneers, astronomers, cosmologists, and the like – the decidedly airy-fairy question “does the internet dream of itself?” and expect a straight answer.

The film has universal appeal: ’net-heads will enjoy peeking behind the panel into the first Internet computer at UCLA while we can all marvel at an early

Engineer and computer scientist Dr. Leonard Kleinrock makes an appearance in Werner Herzog’s latest documentary, Lo and Behold: Reveries of a Connected World. PHOTO SUPPLIED MAGNOLIA PICTURES and very thin directory of world-wide Internet users (there were three guys named Danny), and mourn the sick harassment of a family after grisly photographs of their daughter surfaced online.

While the tech lingo thrown around in the film will stick for some viewers, the rest of us can rightfully chuckle at Kleinrock’s dizzying mathematical formulations (on a chalkboard, no less!).

Knowing that many of his viewers will be flummoxed

by the science, Herzog kindly breaks the film into 10 easy-todigest pieces. The Glory of the Net follows a Carnegie Mellon computer scientist whose video game has inspired a disparate community of players to solve genetic problems.

Life Without The Net visits a rehab centre in Washington state where people struggle to overcome Internet addiction (and the director bemoans not being able to discuss malevolent dwarfs with a patient).

Elon Musk explains the do-or-die deadline for colonization (“in the window before technology is wiped out”) in The Internet on Mars chapter. The End of the Net posits how it may all come to an end because of a longoverdue solar flare: “if the Internet shuts down, people will not remember how they lived before that,” states a cosmologist.

And Earthly Invaders features an interview with Kevin Mitnick, “the world’s

most famous hacker,” and security analysts who show how vulnerable the Internet has made us to all manner of catastrophe.

Then things get trippy, when Herzog starts thinking of the Internet itself as a living imaginative force in his Artificial Intelligence chapter. “The Internet is going to propagate out of control,” states one expert: “we will need to be our own control.”

Dozens of interviewees and a myriad of filming

locations make for interesting reveries, indeed, as does writer-director Herzog’s inclusion of offbeat subjects: a cluster of monks who all seem to be tweeting rather than meditating; a scientist who has been labelled a madman by many thanks to waterinspired theories and original cut-and-paste arguments that never quite caught on.

Like Herzog, the narrative may wander, but in kinship with the director we can’t help but delight in every discovery.

Bard gets a twist at Fakespeare Festival ! The Fakespeare Festival, featuring Titus: The Light and Delightful Musical Comedy of Titus

Andronicus and Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet), presented by Awkward Stage Productions Society, at the York Theatre until Aug. 28. Tickets: $15-$35, at tickets.thecultch.com or 604-251-1363. Info: awkwardstageproductions.com.

MARIA SPITALE-LEISK mspitale-leisk@nsnews.com

North Vancouver theatre actress Jenika Schofield found her voice after her feet finished their last plié.

Schofield trained in classical ballet for 12 years, before it no longer became a passion, she says. Soon after, Schofield had an “aha” moment.

“When I stopped dancing, I was down at the beach by the (Northshore) Auto Mall and started singing ‘Part of Your World,’” recalls Schofield.

“I thought, I didn’t sound bad but I didn’t sound good either.”

It was clear Schofield needed voice lessons. She also joined her high school’s improv team, at Carson Graham secondary, becoming entranced with the spontaneous side of acting.

“I love the idea of creating something from nothing and being able to play whatever character I want,” says Schofield.

Schofield then put all of her talents – singing, dancing and acting – into “one beautiful package called musical theatre.” Her first turn on stage was a starring role as Princess Jasmine in Carson’s adaptation of Aladdin.

Last summer before Schofield’s senior year of high school she auditioned for Awkward Stage, a Vancouver based not-for-profit society that provides real-life performance and production opportunities to youth “in

that awkward transition” from play acting to professional employment.

Schofield won the role of Lavinia in Awkward Stage’s musical-comedy reimagining of the Shakespeare tragedy Titus Andronicus.

That experience led Schofield to another onstage role, Hodel, in the acclaimed Royal City Musical Theatre’s production of Fiddler on the Roof this past spring, Schofield is now reprising her role as Titus’s daughter Lavinia, in the remounting of Titus: The Light and Delightful Musical Comedy of Titus Andronicus, which won the Fringe Festival’s 2015 Pick of the Fringe. Joining Schofield on stage is her former Carson Graham improv teammate Drew Ogle.

This year’s show, which runs throughout the month of August, is set to be even better. Awkward’s adaptation of Titus has expanded from its original 90-minute musical into a hilarious twoact extravaganza, as part of the Fakespeare Festival, a “cheeky” new festival at the York Theatre celebrating clever Canadian twists on Shakespeare.

In describing Awkward’s take on Titus, Schofield says the writers of the script and score – Andrew Wade and Jenny Andersen, respectively – blatantly make fun of and address the extreme violence and racism in Shakespeare’s original play in a hilarious manner.

that is set to a rhythmic gymnastics routine,” explains Schofield.

For the Fakespeare Festival, Titus is being performed in repertory with Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet), the Governor General’s Award-winning comedy that turns two classic Shakespearean tragedies, Othello and Romeo and Juliet, onto their heads.

Were Shakespeare’s classic tragedies originally comedies that got lost in translation? That’s what Constance, a beleaguered spinster academic from Queens University believes.

A clever and entertaining comedic search ensues through a modern rabbit hole as Constance attempts to save fair Juliet and wise Desdemona from their harrowing fates. Foiling Constance’s plans is the devious part of her mind, a.k.a. the Trickster, a character that Schofield plays.

The Trickster is the clever, sneaky part of Constance, explains Schofield.

“Think Inside Out, but for adults,” she adds.

Schofield’s post-secondary plan is to attend Capilano University for a year, starting this fall, before eventually making her way to law school.

While a law career could potentially take centre stage in her life, Schofield won’t leave acting that far behind.

“I definitely will never stop singing, because I love how I feel when I’m on stage,” she says.

Nathan Cottell, Kazz Leskard and Natasha Zacher are performing at the Fakespeare Festival, which features two award-winning Canadian comedies based on the work of William Shakespeare. PHOTO SUPPLIED TIM MATHESON

Presented by Wearable Arts Vancouver, the fourth annual seaside fashion event, which takes place during the Harmony Arts Festival, showcases the handmade creations of more than two dozen North Shore and Metro Vancouver fibre and jewelry artists.

The Slow Fashion movement advocates a more sustainable alternative to factory-produced clothing with a focus on quality, locally made garments that will last season after season.

Wednesday’s runway presentation was followed by a sale of wearable arts.

Bach must be played with ‘sheer musicianship’ From page 13 to it, only by studying it,” he says. “He combines that with the most beautiful sounds, and almost a naïve joy in

making music.”

When Bach writes an aria about the glory of God, he belies expectations by foregoing big chords and bombast for an intimate,

gentle sound played with flute and strings.

By failing to satisfy expectations, Bach has a way of exposing a naïve understanding of the infinite, according

to Weimann.

“This is a mature soul writing this music, somebody at the end of his life,” he says. “It works through the centuries.”

The music demands a multitude of different approaches, according to Weimann, who says musicians need to play Bach intellectually, spiritually, philosophically and with “sheer musicianship.”

In order to put himself in the mind of the composer, Weimann spent the pre-Internet days scouring microfiche in the hopes of learning more about Leipzig’s greatest musician.

Infusing that knowledge into a single performance can be a challenge, particularly when working with musicians who have literally played the piece several hundred times.

But the music is so complex and so interesting, Weimann likens working with musicians to an expedition of discovery more than a recitation.

“We still discover something new every time,” he says. “I guess a lifetime is not enough to understand the genius that is behind that music.”

In the end, the music isn’t technical, it’s emotional. The

Soprano Shannon Mercer will perform at the Vancouver Bach Festival. PHOTO SUPPLIED HELEN TANSEY performance is intended to convey the deeper meaning of the music to the audience.

“Regardless of whether we are believers or not … there is in religion the attempt to catch some sort of truth

about life,” he says. “If you look at it from far enough, then it doesn’t really matter so much what religion the piece originates (from). …

One does not need to believe to understand.”

Fine dining in the English countryside

Michelin-starred restaurant grows much of its own food MIKE GRENBY Contributing writer

GREAT MILTON, England – It’s not unusual for a fine dining restaurant to offer a wine pairing with the various dishes. But is there an alternative if you choose not to drink alcohol – or you simply want something a little different?

“We can also offer a flight of specialty teas from all around the world to match the food,” said executive chef Gary Jones, at Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, which has held two Michelin stars since 1984.

And indeed sommelier Ben Robinson chose six tea varieties to accompany the seven courses of a particular dinner tasting menu one evening – like Gunpowder Green Tea infused with Moroccan Mint and Pu-Erh d’Outre Mer Aged Tea from China’s Yunnan Province.

As well as innovations like the tea flight, Le Manoir’s multiple awardwinning founder Raymond Blanc reflects changing attitudes when he tells a visitor: “I have realized that constant interruptions by the restaurant team can reduce the enjoyment of your meal and, as such, I have decided to place a copy of the menu on the table for you to see what each course is, without lengthy explanations.

“Should you wish each course to be announced and described by the restaurant team, then please do let your waiter or waitress know. We will be delighted to do so.”

While guests can stay at Le Manoir, a half-hour drive from Oxford, many people come for the meals in the 90-seat restaurant: breakfasts, lunches or multicourse dinners.

Both the tasting menu and the a la carte dinners include dishes like wild garlic soup with seared scallop, confit of oak-smoked Loch Duart salmon with pickled cucumber, potato and garden mustard seed, and for dessert strawberries with Szechuan pepper, cream cheese, fresh mint and basil gelee.

Depending on the season, much of the food comes from Le Manoir’s own gardens.

“Boasting some of the finest gardens in Oxfordshire, the outdoor spaces add another dimension to a guest’s culinary adventure,”

states the website.

“The 100-per-cent organic vegetable garden supplies 90 types of fresh salads and vegetables to the restaurant.

These include vegetables indigenous to Southeast Asia to achieve Blanc’s distinct, exotic flavors.”

Some 800 apple and pear trees have recently been planted, fulfilling Blanc’s desire to have orchards full of unusual British species of fruit.

However, Mushroom Valley has been created to acquire knowledge about mushroom propagation, rather than trying to supply the restaurant.

Continuing with the same educational theme, The Raymond Blanc Cookery School, situated at the heart of Le Manoir, “is for everyone who has a passion for food and wishes to have fun preparing it.”

Instructors include Le Manoir’s chef patissier Benoit Blin, also a TV personality since last March, whose passion spills over and fills the cooking school kitchen.

Recently added courses include Wellbeing, Gluten Free and Afternoon Tea. As a member of the Sustainable Restaurant Association and the Considerate Hotelier Association, Le Manoir is also at the forefront of ecofriendly initiatives.

“I have always pioneered sustainable and environmental issues,” said Blanc. “From the moment we opened in 1984, it has remained one of our core values.”

A 12-page eco-booklet highlights some of these initiatives: A soap-bag for guests to take home the leftover soaps; wine boxes are cut up and used for kindling; coat hangers are sent back to the supplier; all fats and oils are recycled; biodegradable confetti; coffee grounds are recycled and used for compost and in the mushroom container.

Le Manoir’s guests benefit from Blanc’s vision, his excitement, his passion – all of which had a rather unusual origin.

“I hated studying to become a draughtsman, which is what my parents wanted me to be,” he said.

“Then one day when I went into a restaurant in Besancon where I grew up (near the French-Swiss border), I found that was my passion and talent.

Chef Raymond Blanc transformed a 15th century Chiltern manor house into Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, a blend of grand English country estate and French country garden and cuisine. While guests can stay at Le Manoir, a half-hour drive from Oxford, many people come for the meals in the 90-seat restaurant. PHOTOS MIKE GRENBY

Diners can choose to pair their food with a flight of specialty teas from all around the world.

“As a busboy I used to smell the glasses and taste the sauces in the serving dishes when I took them back to the kitchen.”

He also used to tell the chef when the food was too salty, or too sweet.

“One day he got so angry he threw a coffee pot at me, and I ended up in hospital,” said Blanc.

“The owner came to see me and said, ‘You can’t work for me anymore.’ But he helped me find a job as a waiter at a restaurant in England.”

Eventually, at age 28 and with $25,000, Blanc and his wife opened a 35-seat restaurant “on the wrong side of the tracks” in Oxford.

And seven years later, he transformed the nearby honey-coloured 15th century Chiltern manor house into Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, a delightful blend of grand English country estate and French

country garden and cuisine which attracts 74,000 guests a year.

After 32 years growing his business, Blanc, 66, shows no sign of slowing down.

He’s as excited now as he was then about his vision to provide guests with more than just a fine dining experience in an English country hotel.

“Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons is the fulfillment of a personal vision, a dream that one day I would create a hotel and restaurant in harmony where my guests would find perfection in food, comfort, service and welcome,” said Blanc.

“Having my 220 employees own this vision with me is how we touch the souls of our guests.”

In 2002 Orient Express (now Belmond), which operates an international chain of luxury trains, cruises and hotels, bought

Raymond Blanc, 66, founded Le Manoir 32 years ago. The Oxfordshire restaurant has held two Michelin stars since 1984. a majority interest in Le Manoir. But Blanc is still “le patron et chef,” with the highest national honours bestowed on him by both England (Order of the British Empire) and France (Chevalier in the Ordre de Legion d’Honneur).

From fine dining in all its forms to the hotel’s hospitality, Blanc’s passionate

vision continues to grow.

His dreams continue to come true, and his guests continue to “find perfection in food, comfort, service and welcome.”

June 12, 1917 - July 28, 2016 Soon after his 99th birthday, Dad passed away peacefully in the pre-dawn hours while his beloved classical music played gently in the background.

He was ready to go, having suffered for some time the bewilderments and indignities of senile dementia.

Predeceased by his devoted wife Edna, he leaves to love and remember, the vibrant, intelligent man he was; his only child Carol (Derrick); nephew Bill and family in England; niece Victoria in Coquitlam; special friend Mike Caton and family; the Phillips family in England; and many good old friends and caring neighbours.

Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Wayne Smith for his unfailing care of Dad over the years and to the wonderful people at Lynn Valley Care Centre for their compassionate care and comforting cheerfulness at all times.

There will be no memorial service by Dad’s own instruction, made in sound mind in happier days.

ROWLETT, Alan Brian November 2, 1935 - July 25, 2016 McIVER, Dr. John Robert (Jock) Age 90, passed away peacefully surrounded by family June 27, 2016 at Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Born Ayr, Scotland (home birth) April 12, 1926 to Willhemina Bowes Elder and John Robert McIver. His father was killed in a dry dock accident in 1941 creating hardship but reinforcing a strong work ethic that defined John. He joined the Royal Navy in Portsmouth, England during WWII and was seconded to the HMS Condor based in Arbroath, Scotland. Following the war, and on a government scholarship, based on academic standing and exemplary service, John attended medical school at Glasgow University from 1947 until graduation in 1952. During this time he met and married (September 14, 1951) Margaret (Rita) Carberry McIver (nee Shearer) in Glasgow, Scotland. Together John and Rita immigrated to Canada in 1952, crossing the Atlantic on the Empress of Scotland. Prior to leaving Scotland for Canada, John had made a commitment to the Canadian Army as a medical officer and served as a Captain from July 23, 1952 until Honourably Released on October 18, 1957. While serving in the Army he was posted to Korea for two years during the Korean War. Somewhat famously John was taken hostage by a villager while attempting to save his son’s life, until he managed to talk his way out of danger.

Settling with Rita in Ottawa after his Army service, the two began their family.

Always looking to improve himself and being passionate about medicine, John completed his specialty training in Radiology at the Ottawa Civic Hospital and continued as a staff Radiologist. In 1969, John and Rita picked up stakes and moved west with their four young children to settle in West Vancouver. For the rest of their lives John and Rita remained residents of West Vancouver. Sadly, Rita passed away in 1996. Upon arrival on the west coast John joined a radiological practice on West Broadway. Throughout his life John felt fortunate for his education and was committed to giving back to the community. To this end, he taught university students in Ottawa and in 1969 he became a Clinical Professor of Anatomy at UBC, teaching a generation of Vancouver medical school students until retiring from that role as Professor Emeritus in 1991.

After closing his private Radiological practice in 1991, John became Chief Radiologist at St. Mary’s Hospital on the Sunshine Coast, in addition, he worked at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver where he once again had the pleasure of teaching the young Residents. John also travelled regularly to Bella Coola to provide this remote community with radiological services. John continued to provide locum services throughout Metro Vancouver until his retirement just before his 85th birthday in 2011.

Throughout John’s life, he relished travel and the myriad of experiences it brought whether on his own or with Rita or family and laterally with Norma.

John was a hardworking optimist from a generation that asked what they can contribute. He was an accomplished athlete who skied and golfed well into his 80’s and competed in many marathons and endurance events. Most of all, John was a kind, compassionate man and loving father, husband and companion who never lost sight of his priorities to those close to him.

His demeanor and character were so pleasant and engaging that he never stopped making new friends. Right until the end.

John is survived by his son Colin McIver and daughter-in-law Jo-Anne McIver of West Vancouver, B.C.; his daughter Moira Gale and son-in-law Tim Gale of Fort Langley,B.C.; his son Iain McIver and daughter-in-law Lana McIver of Lantzville, B.C. and his son Neil McIver and daughter-in-law Thatiana Silva of Vancouver, B.C. John is also survived by his close friend and longtime companion Norma Johnstone of West Vancouver, B.C. Additionally, survived by grandchildren Alexander Gale, Sarah Gale, John McIver, Kelsey McIver and David McIver.

Predeceased by his wife, Rita (February 24, 1996) and sisters, May and Anne.

The celebration of life will be held Thursday August 11, at Hollyburn Country Club (950 Cross Creek Rd, West Vancouver) at 4 p.m. To express condolences, please contact Colin McIver at colin.mciver@dentons.com.

We would like to sincerely thank Dr. John LeBrun and the staff in the palliative care unit at Lions Gate for their difficult but merciful work.

His equal will never be among us again. Always forward, with respect and love.

Please consider making a donation to Lions Gate Hospital Foundation - Hospice and Palliative Care, in John’s name. You do that on his tribute page at https://www.lghfoundation.com/get-involved/donate-tribute.

Alternatively, you may call them at 604.984.5785.

In loving memory of Alan Brian Rowlett. Survived by Peggy, his wife of 56 years; his children Eric and Leslie; his grandson Colin; and his beloved cat Charlie Chan. He enjoyed a long and successful 36 year career working at BC Tel, where he was well liked and respected. He was also a very clever and talented “Mr. Fix-it” at home and passed this gift on to both his children. Alan was known for his razorsharp wit and his beautiful, soaring operatic tenor voice. He will be dearly missed by all that knew and loved him. A Celebration of Life will be held at 11 AM on August 27th, 2016 at St. Christopher’s Anglican Church, 1068 Inglewood Avenue in West Vancouver.

2016 Toyota Prius

Industry pioneer continues to impress

Behind The Wheel David Chao While many carmakers offer some form of hybrid vehicles, the standard has been set

by Toyota, thanks to its iconic Prius.

Latest estimates claim there are more than eight million hybrid vehicles on the road worldwide. It’s safe to say that many of them were inspired by the success of the Toyota Prius.

This year sees the introduction of a fourth-generation model. As with many of its recent products, Toyota hopes the flashy new styling will make the purchase of a Prius an emotional one instead of a purely rational one.

The changes to this all-new Prius should help it continue its dominance over the Ford C-MAX Hybrid, Chevrolet Volt and the new Volkswagen Jetta Turbocharged Hybrid.

Design At its core, the 2016 Prius is built on Toyota’s New Global Architecture.

This platform will underpin a wide variety of new

This year sees the introduction of a fourth-generation model Toyota Prius. As with many of its new products, Toyota hopes the flashy new styling will make the purchase of a Prius an emotional one instead of a purely rational one. It’s available at Jim Pattison Toyota in the Northshore Auto Mall. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD models in the coming years, not just hybrids. With this new structure, Toyota can cut production costs while retaining excellent design, drivability and reliability.

Thanks to its stiffer structure, the 2016 Prius has a much more rewarding driving experience over its past models.

Adding to that is a first-time double wishbone independent rear suspension. Compared to the former torsion beam design, the new Prius provides smoother reaction to bumps and better grip in corners.

Also, while the 106.3-inch wheelbase is unchanged, the fourth-generation Prius is

longer, wider and lower. The lower hoodline contributes to improved aerodynamics, but also enhances forward sightlines and keeps the cabin quieter.

The new Prius has a much more dramatic and athletic look.

The lights are a big contributor in that regard with

the menacing standard LED headlights setting the tone and the taillights following suit.

More defined character lines along the sides give the Prius a stronger curbside presence.

The “floating roof” treatment continues the contemporary feel. In fact, the

design is so radical that some people might not recognize it immediately as the Prius.

Like the rest of the new Prius, every element of the interior has been redesigned.

The new chassis allows for a more open, airy feel in the cabin.

with ease.

As mentioned, the all-new architecture delivers a more decisive Prius than in the past. There’s less body roll in corners, quicker responses, and improved steering feedback.

Though Toyota’s suggestion that new Prius owners will drive it for pure pleasure may be a stretch, daily commutes will be more enjoyable.

Performance While sharp looks are nice, the most important factor for a Prius buyer is fuel economy. In this regard, the 2016 has improved slightly.

Like the third-generation Prius, the new model combines a 1.8-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine with two electric motors. While horsepower is down, efficiency is up thanks to smaller and lighter hybrid components.

In addition to the standard nickel-metal hydride battery, there will be a newly available lithium-ion hybrid.

This battery’s smaller size and flatter shape allows it to be packaged under the rear seat, rather than beneath the luggage area, resulting in more cargo space.

The transmission is still a continuously variable transmission, but again the combined transaxle/electric motor is smaller and more efficient.

With only 121 horsepower on tap, there’s no fear of unwanted wheelspin on acceleration. That said, the Prius comfortably performs its job of city commutes

Environment Past generation models had a pleasant environment, however, to be fair they weren’t the most comfortable cabin for a compact sedan.

The 2016 Prius has been upgraded to be more inviting.

Retaining its uniqueness, the instrument panel now wraps around the dash. The two 4.2-inch full-colour TFT displays provide customizable information and remain centrally located – and controls are still easy-to-reach as they are in the rest of the Toyota family.

A large 6.2-inch colour touchscreen sits below the gauge cluster and controls the navigation and entertainment system. The optional

The bottom line The Toyota Prius is an industry pioneer with upgraded fuel efficiency and handling.

Competitors Ford C-MAX Hybrid While the Ford C-MAX

can’t quite match the Prius in terms of fuel economy, it does have a more dynamic driving experience. Its cabin is also more traditional and comfortable with excellent rear passenger and cargo space thanks to its taller roof.

Starting prices for the Ford C-MAX range from $25,999 to $31,999.

Chevrolet Volt The Chevy Volt is all-new for 2016, and improves its electric-only range and gets better fuel economy from a new range-extending gasoline

engine. The 2016 Chevrolet Volt is priced at $38,490.

Volkswagen Jetta Turbocharged Hybrid The Jetta is VW’s best selling model, and is available in several variants. The model that competes directly with the Prius is the Turbo Hybrid. It comes with the same excellent build quality one expects from VW, but adds more energy-saving technologies.

Prices for the Jetta Turbocharged Hybrid start at $36,895. editor@automotivepress.com

The Chevy Volt is all-new for 2016, and improves its electric-only range and gets better fuel economy from a new range-extending gasoline engine. Other competitors to the 2016 Toyota Prius include the Ford C-MAX Hybrid and Volkswagen Jetta Turbocharged Hybrid.
