Police search for paintwielding vandals BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
North Vancouver RCMP are looking for some alleged vandals who painted the interior of a newly built North Vancouver home like a Jackson Pollock painting.
Police say the suspect or suspects gained access to the house on the 2100block of MacKay Avenue sometime after workers left on Monday evening. When the contractor, who also owns the home, arrived Tuesday morning he found someone had run amok in the house, dumping 15 cans of paint over the walls, hardwood floors, carpets, counters, toilets and appliances. “It’s beyond devastating,” said Dennis Doherty, general manager of Apex

Tsleil-Waututh oppose Fortis pipeline
JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com
The pipeline slated to power a $1.6-billion liquefied natural gas project poses a devastating risk to thousand-year -old cultural artifacts, according to two First Nations.
The Tsleil-Waututh and Musqueam Nations jointly opposed the pipeline approval for the Woodfibre LNG site southwest of Squamish on Howe Sound earlier this week. The pipeline could destroy several significant archaeological sites, according to Tsleil-Waututh member Ernie George. However, George was reticent to identify the exact location or nature of the sites. “We don’t like disclosing where they are and actually what they are,” he said, explaining the risk of vandals digging up history. “They’re significant sites that were
Cultural artifacts in path of gas line that would serve Woodfibre LNG, First Nation members say just found in the last three years – spiritual sites,” he said. “The existing routing of the pipelines would destroy them. ... If they’re actually lost again ... a big chunk of where we can connect with our ancestors will be gone.” Powering Woodfibre LNG involves twinning a 47-kilometre stretch of pipeline through Indian River Valley, according to a release from FortisBC. The company is hopeful it can “minimize potential effects to areas of importance and cultural significance,” according to the release. A final pipeline route has yet to be determined, according to FortisBC.
The sites in the pipeline’s path are replete with historical artifacts, Tsleil-Waututh Chief Maureen Thomas explained. “I appreciate that 99.99 per cent of the people really don’t care about our cultural site and all that history but that one little fraction ... I feel good about,” she said. “This spiritual connection is so real and so important to our people.” Dealing with the province has had its share of difficulties, according to Thomas. “There is always a flaw in communicating with the First Nations.” The Squamish Nation granted the project conditional environmental approval in 2015. The band has a revenuesharing deal with Woodfibre, as well as an agreement to provide employment. While a lawsuit hasn’t been contemplated yet, Thomas

PAUL SULLIVAN: DIVERSITY A CHALLENGING NOTION IN CHANGING TIMES PAGE 8
Artificial reef expedition planned West Van-based submersible team to document marine life
From page 1
JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com
What’s growing on down there?
It’s a question Artificial Reef Society of B.C. director Rick Wall is hoping to answer this fall when a three-person submarine is scheduled to survey the depths of the downed HMCS Annapolis to look for signs of the life aquatic. Divers have catalogued tubeworms, sea stars, anemones, mussels, prawns, rockfish and perch on the hulls and decks of the destroyer since its sinking in April 2015. However, Wall is hopeful the submarine will allow for a more detailed account of the benefits of the man-made reef. “We’re trying to show graphically, in good, documentary-quality pictures, how much growth is actually on the ships and the effect of any paint schemes or any surface preparation,” Wall said. Downing the destroyer was opposed by both the Save Halkett Bay Marine Park Society and the Georgia Strait Alliance over concerns the ship’s paint would leech toxic contaminants into the water. The artificial reefs are a boon to biodiversity, offering habitat for rockfish and crustaceans on the figurative and literal bottom of the food chain, benefiting the food chain all the way to the surface, according to Wall. While there is anecdotal evidence to support his claim
LNG plant has deal to export in 2020
Employees of West Vancouver-based Aquatica Submarines stand in front of the Stingray 500, a three-person submersible designed to dive down 150 metres. The small sub can cruise underwater for approximately eight hours. PHOTOS SUPPLIED – primarily from scuba divers – Wall is hopeful the voyages to the floor of Long Bay will provide proof positive. While a scuba diver would have trouble spending more than 20 minutes appraising the Annapolis, the Stingray 500, a three-person submersible made by West Vancouver company Aquatica, will allow for much longer inspections. The occupants will need bathroom breaks before the submersible will need to surface, according to Aquatica president Harvey Flemming. The submersible, which looks a little like a Jet Ski that’s blown a bubble, can traverse waters at a depth of 150 metres for about eight hours, according to Flemming. Rather than being limited by a computer screen fed by a remotely operated vehicle, the Stingray affords room for
The view from the Stingray 500 should help put an end to the reef madness that surrounded the sinking of the Annapolis. a pilot, scientist and videographer to see what sort of shape the ship’s in. While it can’t go inside the wreck like a scuba diver could, the Stingray is quite manoeuvrable and should serve the artificial reef society
well, according to Flemming. The project expedition is pencilled in for October but Flemming is hopeful the submarine will be diving toward the Annapolis in late September. With dozens of derelict
vessels dotting B.C.’s coastline, Wall is hopeful the enhanced study of the Annapolis will help reefing become more prevalent. “It’s a viable option for getting rid of derelict ships, as opposed to the cost of recycling,” Wall said. “(You) can never recoup the cost of dismantling a ship with the scrap you get out of it.” In the meantime, Wall – who once served as an engineer on the Annapolis – is excited to slip beneath the waves this fall. “Who knows, I might even get to go down and see my old ship,” he said. The expedition is also scheduled to include inspections of freighter GB Church, which was sunk near Sidney, B.C. in 1991, and a sunken Boeing 737, in Stuart Channel off Chemainus, B.C.
suggested it may be an option if a diplomatic solution can’t be reached. “I would hate to see this whole project being eliminated because of any conflict,” she said. “We’re here to protect our identity and our people for years to come, and that includes the land and the water and everything that we’re a part of.” George agreed, citing the band’s “longstanding” relationship with FortisBC. “There’s still room to talk, we just have to get those opportunities. We’re really good with people and hard on process, and this is more a process thing.” Speaking to the Dawson Creek Mirror earlier this month, Woodfibre’s vicepresident of corporate affairs, Byng Giraud, discussed the challenges facing the LNG industry. “The market’s tough,” he said. “Guys are dropping off. ... There’s lots of bad news stories out there about LNG (but) this game is not over.” Beginning in 2020, Woodfibre LNG is slated to ship a million tonnes of LNG each year to Guangzhou Gas Group in China. Woodfibre has a capacity to produce 2.1 million tonnes of LNG annually. Woodfibre LNG is a subsidiary of Pacific Oil and Gas Ltd., a Singapore-based group of companies.
Damages to Pemberton Heights home pegged at $80K From page 1
Western Homes and owner of the property. Doherty was planning to list the new home for sale sometime after the Labour Day long weekend. Now that’s been pushed back indefinitely while he deals with insurance and having to rehire subcontractors to come back and redo much of their work. Initial estimates from
police investigators peg the damage at around $80,000, as the appliances will have to be thrown out, drywall replaced and floors redone. “It’s malicious. It’s intentional,” said Cpl. Richard De Jong, North Vancouver RCMP spokesman. Police are now trying to figure out who targeted the home and why. “That’s the $80,000 question,” De Jong said.
“They’re talking to contractors, neighbours, seeing if there’s video coverage of something around the building in the middle of the night. It’s still in the early stages of trying to figure this out exactly.” Doherty has his own theory – nearby teenagers. About two weeks ago, the home was targeted for minor vandalism on the exterior, Doherty said, though that incident wasn’t
reported to police. “Are there any subcontractors or previous clients or anybody else who may have a vendetta they’d like to execute? We thought about it and there isn’t anybody,” he said. “We believe it’s two teenagers, because we have two sets of footprints.” The RCMP’s forensics team has swept through the house to collect evidence. Doherty said he
hopes the culprits will do the right thing before the police catch up with them. “Somebody needs to take responsibility for what they’ve done. They need to have that understanding for starters and accept the consequences of whatever’s coming their way,” he said. The home is now being fitted with surveillance cameras and Doherty has hired more on-site security
at his other job sites. De Jong said it’s likely the suspects came home with paint on their clothes and shoes. And possibly, they may be bragging among friends about the act, he added. Anyone with information is asked to contact the North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-1311 or make an anonymous tip by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS).

American tourist delays rescue call for fear of fee
Lost or injured adventurers reminded that wait can hamper rescue efforts MARIA SPITALE-LEISK mspitale-leisk@nsnews.com
Half of all foreigners lost or injured in the North Shore backcountry wrongly assume they have to pay for their rescue, says North Shore Rescue, which came to the aid Sunday night of a U.S. tourist who waited to call for help.
The 34-year-old man, who was hiking alone, started his backcountry adventure on the Hanes Valley loop, a challenging 15-kilometre trail that connects Lynn Valley with Grouse Mountain. “But not only was he attempting that eight-plushours difficult hike, he added going up Crown Mountain and got to Crown Pass rather than head directly to Grouse,” said North Shore Rescue search manager Doug Pope. After summiting Crown Mountain, the tourist, who was already exhausted at
this point, twisted his back coming down and could not carry on. Hikers passing by offered to call 911 once they reached cell reception again, but the man refused at first. “He understood that he could be charged for the call and he was hesitant for anyone to call 911, originally,” said Pope. “Eventually he realized he needed the help and he had someone hike out and call.” North Shore Rescue was dispatched around 5:45 p.m. and assembled an 11-member team to respond. An ER doctor and another team member were flown to a helipad at Goat Ridge in the upper Grouse Mountain backcountry, approximately 3.5 km from the Grouse chalet. From there the rescuers hiked down to the man who was assessed by the doctor and given ibuprofen for his pain, said Pope. They then slowly hiked with the man about a kilometre up a steep slope back to the helipad, before being flown back to the Capilano Gate SAR station. The man required no further medical treatment. North Shore Rescue, meanwhile, is reminding the public they don’t charge for rescues, which Pope said is
a common misconception among one in two tourists from outside of Canada. Rather than phoning the local authorities for help, Pope has heard of stranded tourists calling “their uncle in Tennessee” for advice or having a friend try to plot their location on Google Maps from their living room and not faring so well. Those missteps delay a response from North Shore Rescue, “and then our job gets a lot more difficult,” said Pope. Not calling for help right away adds more risk for both the rescuers and the rescuees, as injuries could worsen during the wait in the wilderness, not to mention a waning cell phone battery. Also, if daylight is lost and a helicopter can’t be used during the callout, that forces rescuers to traverse mountainous terrain in the dark in varied conditions. North Shore Rescue is reiterating that backcountry adventurers should be prepared with the 10 essentials (listed at northshorerescue. com), hike with a friend, carry an alternate communication device if going into an area without cell coverage and research the hike before heading out.

WILDLIFE: BIG CAT IN LOUTET PARK, SEYMOUR
North Vancouver cougar sightings prompt warning BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
Keep your friends close and your pets closer.
That’s the advice from the B.C. Conservation Officer Service after a spate of cougar sightings in North Vancouver. Officers were called to the trail linking Loutet Park to Keith Road just before noon on Wednesday when a woman and her daughter had a startling encounter. “They were walking their dog on the trail when a cougar came out and the dog and the cougar growled
at each other,” said Todd Hunter, conservation officer. While hackles may have been raised, the incident was probably not as dangerous as it may have looked, Hunter said. “In my opinion that’s not aggressive or threatening behaviour,” he said. “There’s no information that we have so far that (a cougar) has been prowling, preying on domestic animals, and going after people. That’s threatening.” Still, Hunter is advising caution. The hot, dry weather we’re experiencing makes it harder for cougars
to track their natural prey as scents dissipate quickly. “They’re stressed. They can’t find their prey easily,” he said. “They’re going to be looking for things that are easy prey. If you leave your dog or cat astray, that’s when we have stuff go down.” In conditions like this, cougars like to hang out near trails where their prey, which could be deer, rabbits, raccoons or coyotes, are more likely to be spotted. That also means they’re more likely to have encounters with two-leggeds. For trail runners, it’s better to go
with buddies, Hunter said. “You could trigger an attack. Be aware of that. Its natural instinct is to attack moving prey,” he said. In the unlikely case you are attacked, be prepared to fight like hell, Hunter said. “Protect your head, neck and spine. Kick, punch, scream and fight,” he said. Bear spray and walking sticks have proven to be effective defensive weapons when it comes to cougars. Signs warning of cougar sightings have also been posted in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve.

Hot enough already
T
he Labour Day weekend is not yet here, but you’ve roasted your last marshmallow over a campfire for the summer. The BC Wildfire Service has banned fires of any size on the Central and South Coast until fall. Frustrating for those of us who were lucky enough to book a campsite and were looking forward to an idyllic night under the stars, watching the embers and ash drift skyward, but totally necessary. It’s simply too dry to risk. In July 2015, we choked on smoke and soot thanks to forest fires burning on the Sunshine Coast, Boulder Creek and the Elaho Valley. Two of those fires were caused by humans, and one led to the death of a firefighter. And we saw earlier this year the absolute devastation dealt by the Fort McMurray wildfire. All told, the inferno
wrought roughly $9 billion in damages. It’s nothing short of a miracle that no one was killed. If our mountainside started to burn, our evacuation on congested roads and bridges would be even harder. Tempting as it might be, don’t roll up this editorial page to get a fire started in your yard or campsite. Camping stoves fueled by gas, propane or briquettes are permitted, so long as the flames don’t jump higher than 15 centimetres. If caught with a fire, you could be fined $1,150 and ordered to pay a penalty of $10,000. You could also be on the hook for the costs of fighting a forest fire. Enforcement officers tend to prefer “education” over bringing out the ticket book, but we’d argue it’s time for some rigid enforcement. We’ve had all the warnings we need.

e’re not in North Vancouver any more, Toto.We’re in London, a stop away from our ultimate destination in the south of France, a one-family undertaking to turn the tide of tourism going the other way, as far from France as they can before discovering they’ve come full circle. It’s a bad year for tourism in France. Apparently there’s not even a lineup to get into the Louvre. Here in London, though, fear of terrorism hasn’t deterred anyone from clogging up the usual sites, especially now that the weather, much like Vancouver’s, has finally, grudgingly, turned summery. Vancouver likes to think of itself as a poster child for diversity, but it’s got nothing on London where the national language appears to be everything under the sun.

recent Brexit vote indicated. Nigel Farage, the leader of the right-wing Ukip Party who surprised everyone, himself included, by successfully engineering the referendum to leave the European Union, bluntly maintains that Brexit is all about immigration, not bureaucracy in Brussels or some other irritant. A slim majority of Brits, it appears, are irrevocably worried about being overwhelmed by streams of migrants from Eastern Europe and the Middle East, as well as the traditional Commonwealth sources. It goes deeper than a simple search for economic opportunity. This is where East meets West, with unsettling implications. This was vividly illustrated yesterday as I toured the Natural History Museum which, with its Darwin Centre, is the global showcase of evolution. In the depths of the centre, a few
metres from the specimens Charles Darwin collected to formulate his theory that all life evolved without the intervention of a Prime Mover or an Intelligent Designer or a Great Big Old Guy in the Sky, a group of Muslim women were kneeling toward Mecca in midday prayer to Allah. As someone who agonized over the implications of his life’s work so much that he delayed publishing for decades, Darwin understood the compelling attraction of faith and religion, but ultimately succumbed to scientific evidence, and is now notorious as the man who hastened the death of the Deity, inspiring a modern cadre of radical rationalists, men such as Richard Dawkins and the now departed Christopher Hitchens. If Hitchens, the author of God is NOT Great, somehow hears from beyond the grave that people are declaring God IS Great in the
temple of science, he must surely be twisting in it. It’s a powerful juxtaposition, and one we’ll all encounter more often in everyday life as the world shrinks and the capacity to get around expands. If you can afford it, western civilization is just a few hours away. You can arrive with your entire culture intact, and find upon arrival that respect for all cultures and religions are enshrined in the Charter of Rights: you get accommodation without fear of assimilation. Until recently, that is. Brexit is just part of a reactionary movement that has many faces: the right-wing National Front of Marie LePen in France to the Scary Clown Party of Donald Trump in the United States. Here in Canada, and particularly in Vancouver and on the North Shore, we’re still immersed in endearingly sunny ways, but you get the feeling we’re a single terrorist

The trip from the North Shore to London takes less than a day, if you factor in the time it takes to get across the Lion’s Gate Bridge and the change in time zones (and they don’t call it Greenwich Mean Time for nothing), but it’s a full-scale flight into the future … at that critical point where diversity becomes something more than an ideal: a powerful challenge to the status quo.

Do reports of bear encounters bother you? Co-habitating with wildlife comes with the territory of living on the North Shore. But sometimes, thankfully rarely, people cross paths with one of these burly neighbours in their yard or on their favourite hiking trail. Don’t run away from a bear, experts advise. Rather, back away slowly. After two frightening bear encounters this week – one in Capilano River Regional Park and another in Coquitlam – we wondered if hikers are investing in bear bells or staying away altogether.

“Not really, no, because I feel like they have always been there. Just be bear smart and listen to what the experts say.”
Five months from now, the federal government will decide whether to approve or reject the twinning of Kinder Morgan’s 63 year old Trans Mountain Pipeline – which would triple the system’s capacity and increase tanker traffic in our harbour. We would be failing to acquit our responsibility as citizens of North Vancouver and of Canada if we were to sit passively and watch the conversation over the proposed project be over-simplified into a volley of “yes” or “no” sound bites. Approaching this important issue in a rigorous and thoughtful manner requires a level of dialogue and discussion that can be extremely challenging within the context of a polarizing issue such as this.

“That’s very rare (bear encounters). If I go for a hike in the woods, I don’t worry about it.”
As your MP for North Vancouver, a community with a significant stake in the outcome, I feel compelled to highlight the complex range of issues, ensure we’ve discussed and investigated them fully and to emphasize these considerations in Ottawa.
Community commitment As a community, let’s commit to a rational consideration of risks and benefits and an objective assessment of the extent to which concerns and risks can be appropriately mitigated. Key benefits associated with the proposed project are reasonably obvious - additional revenues and jobs associated with oil exports, plus potential safety improvements associated with oil presently being shipped by rail due to limited pipeline capacity. There are, however, legitimate questions and concerns raised by people in North Vancouver that must also be weighed by government as it moves towards the December decision – the most significant being:
A ferry crosses Burrard Inlet in the early 1900s.

Replace ‘second rate’ SeaBus with faster SkyTrain tunnel Dear Editor: Re: Stifling SeaBus Ride Too Much For Some Riders, Aug. 5 news story. The old ferry system (1900-1958) that crossed the harbour from North Vancouver had outside decks you could go out on. For about eight months of the year that can be very enjoyable. I try to avoid that stinky, sweaty, inefficient SeaBus system. I would rather take my vehicle or just avoid going across Burrard
Inlet altogether. Do you want to see a public transit project that actually would have the potential to bring down the traffic congestion problem the North Shore now faces? Here’s how: Let’s tunnel the SkyTrain to the North Shore and we will see ridership go up five fold. The SkyTrain may be somewhat stuffy, but it would only take two minutes. Not the 25-plus minutes the SeaBus takes including waiting
for it to arrive, boarding and the half-kilometre walk at the south terminal. Politicians and bureaucrats will plead that tunnelling is too expensive. I’m sure running the SeaBus ferries over 30 years or so is not so cheap when you factor in all of the costs involved. The North Shore should stop being so complacent in continually accepting this second-rate ferry system. John Schleimer North Vancouver
• The potential for spills in our harbour and questions about whether spills of diluted bitumen (as opposed to conventional hydrocarbon products) can be effectively contained or cleaned up • The potential for increased tanker traffic that may have an adverse impact on marine life and, in particular, on the Southern Resident Killer Whale population • How the proposed pipeline expansion fits with Canada`s pledge to combat climate change and with Canada’s commitment to a renewed relationship with Indigenous Peoples? Each of these matters requires thoughtful, well considered responses
that are grounded in data if we are to be able to appropriately assess risks and benefits.
NEB process shortcomings The process originally utilized to review this proposal had a number of shortcomings. The National Energy Board review, while directly addressing some important issues, was conducted in a manner that was not sufficiently transparent and had procedural flaws. The new federal government has attempted to address some of these shortcomings through its “Interim Principles” introduced earlier this year. Among them: • Decisions will be based on science, traditional knowledge of Indigenous peoples and other relevant evidence • The views of the public and affected communities will be sought and considered • Indigenous peoples will be meaningfully consulted, and where appropriate, impacts on rights and interests will be accommodated and • Direct and upstream greenhouse gas emissions linked to the projects under review will be assessed. The government also appointed an independent three-person panel to conduct further consultation. To date the panel has held 15 public meetings in BC and Alberta and has received over 15,000 submissions to a written questionnaire. The panel will be holding a public town hall in North Vancouver at the North Vancouver District Hall between 2:30-7:00 pm on August 19th. The work done by the NEB on the Trans Mountain proposal, the additional information gathered as a result of the Interim Principles and the contribution of the new panel will all inform the decision the Government will make later this year. As we move towards December, I will continue to engage in discussion with constituents, with my colleagues in the federal BC Liberal Caucus, with Members of Parliament from across the country and with Ministers in the Government. My objective is to ensure that when a decision on Trans Mountain is ultimately made, we can all agree it is thoughtful, evidence-based and provides reasonable answers to the legitimate questions that have been raised.

Dear Editor: The government is currently conducting a public review of Canada Post. This is the moment for people to speak up about what we want from our postal service. We’ve had years of service cuts and increased prices. It’s time to try something different. The post office can deliver more than mail. The
government should adopt the Delivering Community Power proposal, which calls for postal banking, services for seniors, and coast-tocoast charging stations for electric cars, among other ideas. Interested readers can learn more at DeliveringCommunityPower. ca. Don McBain North Vancouver

Fish out of water
! Crystal Shawanda performs at the Tsleil-Waututh Cultural Arts Festival, which takes place Sunday, Aug. 21, noon to 7 p.m. at Whey-ah-Wichen (Cates Park), North Vancouver. Event info at facebook.com/tsleilwaututhfestival. CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com
When she sang country, they called it the blues. When she sang the blues, they called it rock ‘n’ roll.
In the hypercritical American music industry, Crystal Shawanda doesn’t always feel as though she fits in. “Sometimes I feel like a fish out of water trying to learn how to fly,” Shawanda told her mother in frustration one day. “I think everybody feels that way,” her mom replied. “Why do you want to fit in now? You never have before, so you
might as well embrace it and embrace who you are.” And so she did. That conversation was the spark that inspired Shawanda’s forthcoming album, Fish Out of Water, set for release this fall. It will be the fifth studio album from the Ojibwe singer/songwriter, who grew up on the Wikwemikong reserve on Manitoulin Island in Ontario and moved to Nashville as a teen to pursue her musical career. “I tried to just record music that I liked. I wasn’t really trying to fit in anywhere with this album,” she says, describing it as a hybrid of country, blues, rock, and soul. “It’s become my trademark to create an emotional roller-coaster ride, and so I think that’s what this album is once again.” The title track, “Fish Out of Water,” is a song she hopes everyone will be able to identify with. “We’re all trying to find that place where we fit in in this world and where we make sense, so hopefully people can
relate to that.” The new album has a serious side, Shawanda notes. The song “Skin Deep,” for example, is about racism that exists everywhere – in the music industry, in the Southern United States, in Northern Canada. “This song is really about treating people the way you want to be treated and looking past somebody’s skin colour.” At the same time, there’s also lots of room for frivolity on the album. One of her lighter inclusions is a song called “Trouble,” which she describes as “just pure fun, and something that people will be able to dance to.” Shawanda will perform a mix of new music and old favourites at the eighth edition of the Tsleil-Waututh Cultural Arts Festival on Sunday, Aug. 21 at Whey-ah-Wichen (Cates Park).

REVIEW: EDGE OF WINTER
Locked in the throes of dysfunction ! Edge of Winter. Directed and co-written by Rob Connolly. Starring Joel Kinnaman and Tom Holland. Rating: 6 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD Contributing writer
There have been countless stories written about the ties that bind and the often tenuous tightrope-walk that is the relationship between father and son.
Rob Connolly’s Edge of Winter picks up the mantle, further testing an already dysfunctional relationship by stranding his boys in the snowy north country. Younger brother Caleb (Percy Hines White) and brooding teen Brad (new Spider-Man Tom Holland) are dumped with dad while mom heads on a cruise with her new boyfriend Ted, who is everything Elliot (Joel Kinnaman, onscreen now in Suicide Squad) is not. Employed, for starters. Things are rocky before their bags are unpacked: the boys make fun of dad’s new digs, and Elliot starts a long list of “don’t tell mom” behaviour. Not long after they arrive,
A father and sons try to find some common ground in Rob Connolly’s Edge of Winter. PHOTO SUPPLIED Caleb finds a gun under the bed. Elliot loses his temper, then decides that this is a teachable moment: “Every man should know how to use and safely respect a gun.”
The three boys head to an abandoned logging camp some 30 miles from town for target practice and ill-fated male bonding. “I’m going to make men out
of you boys,” Elliot promises, “Ted certainly isn’t going to.” In between beers, Elliot is keen to pit his boys against each other by praising Caleb but giving Brad a hard time
about everything from not being able to shoot and liking school, to being afraid to relieve himself outdoors: “the

Kinnaman’s portrayal picture perfect From page 16 world’s your toilet,” he says, in both a particularly bleak piece of metaphorical parenting advice and instruction on where to pee. He tries to make up for his put-downs with a driving lesson, but Brad’s inexperience on the icy roads lands them irretrievably stuck in a snowbank. A piece of information dropped by Caleb in the car makes Elliot reluctant to take the boys back right away anyway: he decides that it
makes more sense to try and seek shelter in an old hunters’ cabin than hike out to the highway. There’s nothing more dangerous than a man with nothing to lose. Unemployed, jealous and emasculated by his wife’s new lover, and now facing separation from his sons, Elliot is a ticking time bomb. The thin plot frays somewhat with the arrival of two strangers to the cabin and some derring-do by the boys, and things slip into standard
action-film fare. The real strength is in Kinnaman’s perfect portrayal – the pitch of his voice, muted facial expressions – of an evidently wounded man who has run out of options. Connolly’s debut excels when it picks up the nuances of the threatened father-son dynamic, misplaced loyalty and possessiveness, among others. A relentlessly bleak landscape echoes the Baker boys’ chances of a happy ending, while the last scene frame let’s us know that nothing will ever be the same.

Trevor Guthrie builds on soulful decisions
Musician finds new life after boy band fame ! KiSS Radio’s Wham Bam one-day pop extravaganza at the PNE Amphitheatre, Saturday, Aug. 20. JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com
Do you remember when Justin Timberlake went solo?
You might have thought it was just another case of a singer walking away from his group, but for North Vancouver’s Trevor Guthrie, former lead singer of soulDecision, it was akin to watching the spiraling rates of nonsensical mortgages that preceded the subprime mortgage crisis. It was the sign the bubble was about to burst. “That kind of killed all the boy bands,” the Argyle grad says of Timberlake’s departure from ‘N Sync. The vaguely algebraicsounding boy and girl bands - B4-4, 98 Degrees, S Club 7 - that were dominating the charts suddenly vanished from an industry scrambling to redefine itself.
Guthrie’s band – and he is adamant soulDecision was an instrument-playing, song-writing band – were “let go” from their record company. “When the dust settled I still was a songwriter, I still played instruments, but I don’t think the industry really saw me like that,” Guthrie recalls. For about a decade Guthrie was stuck in pop music purgatory. But he kept playing. After all, this was someone who’d learned to the play piano at age three. “I don’t even remember learning to play,” Guthrie says with a laugh, recalling a photo of a pint-sized kid who needed to sit on a suitcase to reach the keys. He’d get booked at festivals here and there and on some nights – like when Stewart Copeland of The Police joined him on stage – it felt like there was a reason to keep going. “It took about 10 years trying to get out there,” he recalls. He dealt with depression. But he kept coming back to the piano, looking for melodies and the words that belonged with them. Finally, he connected with DJ and producer Armin van Buuren. “He didn’t really have a concern about my past. He just liked the song,” Guthrie recalls.
The song was “This is What it Feels Like.” Guthrie wrote the lyrics about a friend who’d been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. “It was a little more of a dark song and a depressing message, but when it got sent to Armin he heard it as a pop song. … At the time I’d been struggling trying to have my own career. I was like, ‘Well, I don’t really have anything else going for me, so let Armin do something with it.’” It was “probably one of the best decisions” he’d ever made, he says. About two weeks after “This is What it Feels Like” was released as a single, Guthrie stepped onstage at Madison Square Garden and sang for a crowd that sang back to him. “If they already know the song and they’re singing along … we’ve got some magic here,” he recalls thinking. A few months ago, Guthrie nearly lost a finger during a home renovation project when his grinder slipped while taking mortar off a brick. The finger won’t work like it’s supposed to and another surgery may be needed, but in typical Guthrie fashion he still shows up at his piano, searching for melodies with nine fingers.

High school hell gets edgy send-up in musical Excellent cast bring high energy to new production ! Heathers: The Musical, Waterfront Theatre until Aug. 26. Tickets at ticketstonight. ticketforce.com or at the door. JO LEDINGHAM Contributing writer
Forget Scottish heaths, kilts and bagpipes, these Heathers are all-American, bitchy teenaged girls lording it over their Westerberg high school classmates.
In awe of Heather Chandler (Alishia Suitor), Heather McNamara (YooRa Kang) and Heather Duke (Leah Newson) is Veronica Sawyer (Julia Ullrich), new to the school and looking for a way into the powerful triumvirate. Forging a note that gets the Heathers out of detention, Veronica is invited to join them, is given a makeover and made their servant/slave whose duties include forging another note as a wicked prank against her
YooRa Kang, Capilano grads Leah Newson and Julia Ullrich, and North Vancouver’s Alishia Suitor are featured performers in Fighting Chance’s production of Heathers: The Musical. PHOTO SUPPLIED old friend Martha (Annastasia Unger). It’s a Faustian bargain with deadly consequences. Heathers: The Musical
began its life in 1988 as the cult film starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, but Laurence O’Keefe and Kevin Murphy (the musical
version of Reefer Madness) saw potential for a rock musical. Co-written (book, music and lyrics) by O’Keefe and Murphy, the musical opened
off-Broadway in 2014. Billed as a comedy, it’s not really funny – at least to those of us well out of our high school days. When
buddies Ram (Thomas King) and Kurt (Ben Bilodeau) are left alone when their dads go fishing together, it’s party time. The whole ensemble breaks into “Big Fun” and that big fun includes oral sex, onthe-couch sex, drinking that leads to puking and eventually to what can only be called a girl-on-guy, lose-yourvirginity seduction scene. It’s disturbing when the Heathers set Veronica up for an unwanted three-way with Ram and Kurt – what would be a rape if the guys weren’t so drunk. And although initially J.D. (Jian Gomeshi look-alike, David Z. Cohen) is seen as some kind of smart, sexy, avenging angel, it soon becomes apparent that J.D. is seriously messed up. While few of us saw our high school years as the best years of our lives, these kids seem – as they sing – badly “damaged.” A teenager I know said she and her friends – who all loved the film – saw it as a funny send-up, very American and not meant to be realistic. It’s up there with The Rocky Horror Show. It’s certainly not the stuff of comedy. Indeed, Heathers: The Musical isn’t sure what it wants to be and that’s a

Jewelry sale raises funds for autism
CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com
North Vancouver resident Hayley Kelly is encouraging people to rummage through their jewelry boxes, pull out the bling and baubles they no longer wear, and donate them for a good cause.
For the past few weeks, Kelly has been busy organizing the inaugural North Vancouver Jewelry Drive in support of the Autism Society of B.C. Until next weekend, residents are invited to drop off all manner of accessories – rings, necklaces, bracelets, etc. – to the Delany’s Coffee House locations in Lynn Valley Village and on Denman Street in Vancouver. There are no requirements for the donations, Hayley notes. Inexpensive costume pieces and quality metals and gems will all be gladly accepted. “Anything that you’re not going to use anymore that you’d love to give away for a good cause,” she says. On Saturday, Aug. 27, from noon to 4 p.m., there will be a sale of all the jewelry Kelly has collected in the plaza at Lynn Valley Village. “It’s all by donation,” she says, explaining shoppers can pay what they want,
provided they meet the $5 minimum. In addition to the jewelry sale, there will also be live music, a raffle, and a barbecue provided by Shay Kelly the Caterer. Proceeds from food sales will also go to the autism society. Kelly’s goal is to raise $5,000 at the charity event. “My goddaughter is autistic and I see the struggles that parents have with autistic children and I just thought that I could help in some way, so I decided to create a jewelry drive,” she says. When pondering how she might help, her mind immediately turned to jewelry – something that has always played an important role in her life. “Jewelry runs in my family. My grandmother ran a diamond store and my mom ran a jewelry and secondhand jewelry store,” she says. Kelly inherited many pieces from her family members and has amassed a considerable collection of her own choosing over the years. “I’ve travelled the whole world and wherever I go I collect jewelry,” she says. “It’s just a big passion of

make,” she says. And being a busy mom of two young children means she hasn’t had much studio time lately. “I’ve got a two-year-old and an eight-month-old.” Another of Kelly’s interests, aside from jewelry, is attending and holding garage sales and she describes herself as “a garage sale fanatic.”

Shawanda moved to Nashville as a teenager
From page 13
Co-hosted by MCs Andrea Menard and Gabriel George, the day-long event celebrates indigenous culture and features a musical lineup that includes DJ Shub (formerly of A Tribe Called Red), Coast Salish performance group Children of Takaya, and Musqueam/TsleilWaututh rapper Christie Lee Charles. There will also be an artisan village, storytelling tent, traditional foods and other attractions. Shawanda grew up in a
music-loving household. Her parents were country fans and taught her to sing and play guitar, while her oldest brother filled the house with the bluesy rhythms of B.B. King, Muddy Waters, and Etta James. “For my family, music was like a cheap form of therapy,” she says. She started performing country music in front of audiences when she was just a child. “Music’s just been my whole life, it’s all I’ve ever done. I first stepped on stage when I was six and started
getting paid to do it when I was 10 and haven’t looked back since.” Her father was a truck driver and she accompanied him down to Nashville for the first time when she was 12. “Once I visited Nashville the first time I couldn’t get enough of it and I moved there on my own when I was 16 years old,” she says. Because she moved down South so young, she didn’t have the chance to discover Canada outside of Ontario until her first radio hit “You
Can Let Go,” from her debut album Dawn of a New Day, afforded her the chance to tour her home country. Since the success of that first single in 2008, Shawanda has played all across North America and racked up a number of music awards and nominations. Her third studio album, Just Like You, won the Juno Award for Best Aboriginal Album of the Year in 2013. In 2014, she released her first blues album, The Whole World’s Got the Blues. That recording featured the track “Pray Sister Pray,” which
was inspired by and written for missing and murdered aboriginal women across Canada. Earlier this summer, Shawanda released a music video to accompany that song, paying the production costs out of her own pocket. “It’s a subject matter that’s very important to me and I feel like the awareness needs to keep being circulated,” she says. “The message through the song is that, as women, we need to be braver and bolder than ever. We don’t need to shrink away and hide, we
need to be not scared, we need to be more outspoken than ever.” While she may be based in Music City, U.S.A., Shawanda maintains a loyal fan base in Canada and plays a homecoming concert on Manitoulin Island every summer. Whenever she’s offered a gig here on the West Coast, she says she’s always quick to accept. “B.C. is one of my favourite places in the world,” she says. “Every time I get a call in for B.C. it’s always a ‘Yes.’”

problem. Directed by Ryan Mooney for Fighting Chance Productions, it is, however, boisterous and the music is “big fun.” Performances by this young cast are energetic and enthusiastic; some of the voices are outstanding – including Linda Leong Sum (“Shine a Light), Unger (“Kindergarten Boyfriend”), Kang (“Lifeboat”) and Ullrich, in the especially poignant “Seventeen” with Cohen. Looking at the target audience and considering the subjects – bullying, teen suicide, violence and homophobia – it should be a good show for, say, 12-yearolds and up but the language is rough. Tim Driscoll’s set design – tubular aluminum scaffolding with inset panels lit by Nicole Weismiller – is sharp, colourful and practical. Under the musical direction of Clare Wyatt, the band (Wyatt, Mike Allen, Jamison Ko, Adrian Sowa and Joanna Yoo) really
rocks, although in the opening number – the set-up to the story, Ullrich struggled (the night I attended) to make herself heard over the band. Lyndsey Britten ably choreographs some full company numbers especially the curtain ringing reprise of “Seventeen.” This edgy stuff, appealing to a younger demographic, is the stock-in-trade of Fighting Chance Productions and they do it well. Past shows include Rent, The Laramie Project and, still their best production to date, the incomparable Sweeney Todd. Artistic director Ryan Mooney mines Capilano University and other theatre schools for young fresh talent, giving these soon-tobe-professionals a good start, making it a win-win situation for the company, the performers and audiences interested in seeing new faces.

The GMC Yukon Denali makes a big statement, literally. In an age in which all the trends focus on smaller crossovers and SUVs, the Yukon Denali has an unmistakeable presence due not only to its massive size but also its luxurious cabin. Don’t bother trying to squeeze it into that tight parking spot at Lonsdale Quay though. PHOTO SUPPLIED
Yukon Denali luxuriously large The GMC Yukon Denali is defying the current trend of smaller crossovers and sport utilities with its unmistakable presence.
Behind The Wheel David Chao
For those who don’t want to compromise space and size, the frame-based, gigantic Yukon is there for you. While the Yukon makes a big statement in every possible way, it is difficult to maneuver in tight spots and is not for the budget-minded.
The Yukon Denali is king in the SUV category. However, that’s not stopping the Ford Expedition, Toyota Sequoia and Nissan Armada from trying to dethrone it. Since the Yukon received a complete makeover last year, it enters 2016 with minimal changes.
DESIGN The recent redesign to the Yukon lineup has given it a
unique look that’s distinctive from its pickup stablemates. The Denali editions have an even more unique appearance, and proves superior utility and towing capacity can turn heads. Signature Denali styling starts with a three-dimensional chrome mesh grille, which is complemented by projector-beam HID headlights, chrome accents and available 22-inch wheels.
Optional power-retractable assist steps with perimeter lighting further add to the premium feel. Inside, the Yukon Denali is refined and innovative. Aluminum and wood accent the cabin and advanced technologies keep you connected and in control. The Yukon Denali is available as standard or in long-wheelbase XL trim. Both have three rows of seats, but
the XL offers more passenger and cargo room. PERFORMANCE Standard in the Yukon Denali is GM’s mighty 6.2-litre V-8. This engine is exclusive to Denali models and with 420 horsepower and 460 foot-pounds of torque, it delivers the most power in this segment.

What if we got rid of traffic lights? Seriously So here’s a thought: is the amber traffic light outdated?
A smashed motorcycle marks the scene of a crash that sent two to hospital with serious injuries. Three vehicles reportedly tried to beat the yellow light. PHOTO SUPPLIED BABAK NOURI
2016 VOLVO CLEAR OUT EVENT MY2016 Alternative Cash Purchase Incentives: 2016 S60 T5 AWD Cross Country: $10,000 (1 Remaining) 2016 S60 T5 AWD Special Edition: $7,500 (1 Remaining)
I’m serious, should we do away with it altogether? Certainly there are those who wouldn’t miss it much, seeing as they already regard amber as being a sort of variant of green anyway. “Oh look, one of those extra green lights! Must floor the accelerator as though I’ve just hit a power boost in Mario Kart!” Two Sundays back, a three-way crash between a motorcycle, a sedan, and an SUV occurred at the busy intersection of 15th and Marine Drive in West Vancouver. All three are alleged to have been trying to beat a yellow light, with the westbound SUV turning in front of the motorcycle. The bike was heavily damaged, and the two riders seriously injured. Blame is there in plenty to be handed out, and the police will likely be ticketing all three involved. However, it’s not like this is an isolated incident. Regularly I see drivers hurtling through lights just nanoseconds before the amber changes to red. Hardly anyone seems to watch for stale green lights and prepare themselves to stop if necessary – everyone’s just in too much of a hurry. Signals rule our driving lives (except, of course, when we’re apparently not paying attention to them). We curse inwardly when we hit a particularly long light during our regular commutes, or when putting on your indicator causes the car beside you to zip forward to close the gap. We roll our eyes as somebody fails to stop while making a right turn on a red light, then pulls out in front of traffic at about four kilometres per
Grinding Gears Brendan McAleer hour. We shake our heads as pedestrians step off the curb, glued to their phones with the countdown reading two seconds remaining to cross four lanes. And so, sometimes I feel like we should just throw the whole mess away. Without signals, intersections would feel dangerous, because they are. And being worried might make us safer. As crazy as this idea sounds, it’s actually had traction in a few places. In the developing world, there are more than a few intersections where traffic simply figures out how to get past each other without any signals whatsoever. Meskel Square in Ethiopia is the intersection of two eight-lane major roads, but the cars and buses all just slow down and squeeze past each other. In Portishead, U.K., a small coastal town west of London, they simply turned their traffic lights off at certain intersections. Strangely, and seeming to fly in the face of common sense, accidents slowed. People stopped getting hurt. The same thing happened in the town of Drachten, in the Netherlands, which has no traffic lights at all. At one intersection, the accident rate dropped from nine per year to just a single one.
The idea is an extreme one, but there’s maybe something else going on here we can use. Part of what happens when you remove traffic lights from an area is that people start paying less attention to the signage, and more to their fellow travellers. That means drivers making more eye contact with pedestrians and cyclists, pedestrians signalling their intent to drivers, drivers trusting less that other drivers are going to yield based on the lights, and everyone showing a little patience. It’s a funny thing: even if your grocery store is really crowded, it’d be pretty weird if somebody just blithely rammed you with a cart when you came out of the cereal aisle. Get in a car though, and it’s like we see the green light and just head full tilt for the metaphorical dairy section. While the city planners and police departments try to figure things out, there are some things we can do as drivers to keep ourselves safe. First, expect that everyone is an idiot. Not you, dear reader, you’re no idiot. You are smart and charming, and say, is that a new shirt? Very fetching. Matches your eyes. But that guy over your left shoulder there? See him? The one picking his nose. Do you really expect that he’s going to know to slow for that late yellow? Maybe just take a heartbeat or two to start moving in case he blows right through it. And don’t grimace too much and mutter under your breath. Ease your bloodpressure, karma has a way of catching up with miscreants like this. Let’s just all hope nobody else has to become part of their eventual comeuppance. mcaleeronwheels@gmail.com

Mated to the behemoth is an all-new eight-speed automatic transmission. Designed to have smaller steps between gears compared to the previous six-speed, the new version keeps the engine within the sweet spot of the r.p.m. band to optimize performance and efficiency. Through creative packaging, the new eight-speed is lighter and fits in the same space as the old six-speed. Also, first gear gives a more confident start when pulling a trailer or hauling a heavy load. All Denali models are
four-wheel drive and use a two-speed active transfer case that remains in twowheel-drive mode until it detects wheel slippage – it then automatically engages 4WD until traction is regained. The driver can also shift on the fly from 2WD to 4WD at any speed using a rotary control. Considering its size and considerable weight, the Yukon Denali has quite a luxurious driving experience. Ride quality is smooth and quiet, and steering feel and handling response are higher than expected.

Playing a major part in that effort is GM’s Magnetic Ride Control. The shock absorbers continually monitor road conditions and adjust accordingly. Being the top of the range, the Yukon Denali is equipped with the latest and best safety technologies. Heading the list is the segment’s first front-centre airbag. This deploys from the inboard side of the driver’s seat and protects both front occupants by inflating between them. Helping to avoid collisions, the active safety features use camera, radar and ultrasonic sensors to provide alerts and intervene if necessary. The haptic seat alert vibrates to firmly get the driver’s attention.

ENVIRONMENT While many higher-end SUVs have upscale interiors, the cabin inside the Yukon Denali is among the best. It’s stylish, comfortable and versatile allowing the occupants to enjoy their time inside. Despite its boxy exterior, the interior lines are flowing and artful. Material quality is top-drawer and the control layout is logical. The front seats are inviting and comfortable, and the second row offers plenty of space for adults. In the standard Yukon, the third row
is best suited for children, but in the longer XL, it can accommodate grown-ups. Also, the third row can fold flat into the floor to add to the already impressive cargo space. The Yukon Denali XL boasts 1,101 litres of cargo volume behind the third row, which becomes 2,172 l with them down. Providing important information to the driver is an eight-inch customizable display with three available user themes. If it suits your taste, a heads-up display is available. The Infotainment is controlled through an eight-inch colour touchscreen, which includes standard navigation and IntelliLink. Not only does it use Bluetooth, voice-activated technology and Apple CarPlay, the screen slides up to reveal a hidden storage compartment. Like all other GM vehicles, OnStar is standard and the Yukon Denali comes with the latest edition with 4G LTE and built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. The hotspot is on whenever the vehicle is on and provides a mobile hub for drivers and passengers to stay connected. Denali models, being the darlings in GMC’s lineup, get just about every luxury option in its catalogue as standard. Highlights include remote start, three-zone

Standard equipment includes heated and cooled front seats, active noise cancellation, auto-dimming
rearview mirror, heated exterior mirrors, rearview camera, blind spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert, front and rear parking sensors, and rain-sensing wipers.

Fuel efficiency numbers (litres/100 kilometres) are 15.9 city and 11.1 highway in standard trim, while the XL returns 16.4 city and 11.7 highway.
THUMBS UP If you need the power to haul major load or carry a lot of passengers and cargo, the Yukon Denali can handle them. And, its luxurious cabin will make the journey
an enjoyable one.
THUMBS DOWN It’s pretty obvious, but the Yukon Denali is incredibly big, making it difficult to maneuver in tight spots. It’s also not an economical choice for many. THE BOTTOM LINE The 2016 GMC Yukon Denali is for anyone who wants to do everything with space and luxury.

REDLINE CLEAROUT WITH HUGE CASH DISCOUNTS THESE 2016’S ARE GOING FASTER THAN EVER.
FEATURING
The Ford Expedition has a new engine plant that is more powerful while using less fuel. PHOTOS SUPPLIED
The Nissan Armada is starting to feel a bit dated but still offers good towing capacity and a roomy interior.
From page 40
the newest Expedition is powered by a twin-turbo V-6. However, this new powerplant is more powerful, while also being more fuel efficient than its old V-8. The Expedition is available in standard and long-wheelbase configuration, with starting prices ranging from $52, 148 to $70,748.
TOYOTA SEQUOIA While the Sequoia offers a powerful V-8, it can’t boast the same towing capacity or the fuel efficiency of its rivals. But, it does come with a strong reliability record and class-leading resale values.
The Sequoia is available in three trim levels with starting prices ranging from $55,810 to $70,715.
NISSAN ARMADA The Armada has changed very little since its introduction, but that’s OK as it offers a roomy interior and good towing capacity. It doesn’t have good fuel economy, even for a full-size SUV, and does feel dated. The Armada is only available in one trim level and is priced at $59,828. editor@automotivepress.com
