STORM WATCH

Flash flooding expected Saturday JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

With heavy rain and 80 km/h winds expected to pummel the North Shore this weekend, North and West Vancouver residents are being asked batten down the hatches and clear out their gutters.

The winds may topple trees and take down power lines, according to a release from Environment Canada.

Strong gusts are expected to blow through the North Shore Friday morning. However, a more powerful storm may hit on Saturday, with harsh winds and heavy rainfall expected.

Saturday’s storm has proved a challenge to track, and could hit anywhere between the state of Washington and Vancouver Island, according to

Museum gets $3M promise from Ottawa

JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

The North Vancouver Museum and Archives is a big step closer to making its new home in the base of Polygon’s Site 8 tower a reality after receiving a promise of $3 million towards the project from the federal government.

Ottawa announced the funding Wednesday, to be provided through the Canada Cultural Spaces fund in the Department of Canadian Heritage.

“It is fantastic news,” said Nancy Kirkpatrick, director of the North Vancouver Museum and Archives. “It is the key that will unlock the whole project.”

Federal funding brings proposed Lower Lonsdale museum closer to CNV approval Receiving the federal grant was one of the conditions set by City of North Vancouver council this summer in order for the project to get the final green light.

A report on plans for the new museum project is expected to go before council next month, said Kirkpatrick. “We’re very optimistic we’ll get the go-ahead at that time,” she said.

Other funding for the museum project includes a $2.5-million

commitment from the city – which has been budgeted but not yet formally approved – a 16,000 square-foot space contributed

by Polygon in return for additional building height and $1 million to be raised in a fundraising campaign. Project proponents are hoping to open the doors to the new museum in 2019.

Wednesday’s announcement marks a milestone in the comeback for the project after city council rejected a long-held plan to move the museum into the Pipe Shop at the Shipyards in January after fundraisers fell short of their $5 million target.

This summer saw the project rise from the ashes as mainfloor anchor of Polygon Homes’ 14-storey mixed-use condo tower on Site 8, a parcel of land that is mostly a surface parking

PAUL SULLIVAN: BOOMERS’ HOME EQUITY HANGS IN BALANCE PAGE 8

NSR volunteers undergo autism training

North Van mother spearheads ‘Autism 101’

JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

She would lie down at night but she wouldn’t sleep.

“Safety is really what haunted me at night,” explains Kris Jenkinson.

Jenkinson is the mother of a seven-year-old boy named Kyle. Kyle is autistic, and largely unable to distinguish between what’s safe and what’s dangerous.

For Jenkinson, the thought of Kyle, or any child on the autistism spectrum, disappearing into the North Shore backcountry is terrifying.

For people with autism who are ages 10 to 43, the mortality rate is approximately double that of the general population, according to a 2008 study.

Drowning is by far the most common cause of death, according to a three-year U.S. survey.

“Water for autistic people is a sensory outlet, it’s calming,” Jenkinson says.

With the backcountry just a stone’s throw away, the self-described mama bear decided North Shore Rescue’s volunteers should have “Autism 101.”

As luck would have it, she had a connection, having gone to Carson Graham secondary with NSR team leader Mike Danks.

North Shore Rescue team leader Mike Danks and friend Kris Jenkinson look on as seven-year-old Kyle puts his arm around Clover the dog. Jenkinson was instrumental in helping North Shore Rescue volunteers gain an understanding of autism. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD About a quarter of a century after graduation day, the two remain close friends.

“There are many times when Mike’s had to throw his kids my way when the call has come,” she says.

Danks has participated in a few searches for autistic children, he says. But it’s only recently that he’s learned just how vast the autism spectrum is.

“It was about recognizing how they see the world,” he says, explaining the

importance of tailoring the search to the individual.

Jenkinson agrees.

“Autism looks different on every single person. It does not manifest itself in the exact same way.”

In the case of a lost child with autism, it can be crucial for rescuers to know if they can swim, if they’re verbal, and if they have certain fixations, Jenkinson says.

Following a little urging from Jenkinson, NSR staged its first autism information

session Wednesday night.

District of North Vancouver firefighter Ben Wilson and Ryan Yao from the Canucks Autism Network led the workshop.

Approximately 40 volunteers showed up for Wednesday’s session, which was music to Jenkinson’s ears.

“It’s so important that first responders of all kinds, from SAR teams to police to ambulance to fire, have some training and some education in regards to the

autism community,” she says. “A lot of these kids (with autism) perceive people in uniforms to be scary.”

Besides being more knowledgeable when they go on a search, Jenkinson is hopeful Wednesday’s session will help volunteers and their friends and families broaden their understanding of autism in their day-to-day lives.

“We don’t need judgment, we need kindness,” she says.

Helping an autistic child is complicated by the myriad unanswered questions around the spectrum disorder, Jenkinson says.

“We’re living in a grey world with uncertainty circling around us all the time,” she says. However, the family has made broad strides, particularly since autism service dog Clover came into their lives.

“She’s changed our life,” Jenkinson says. “Wherever Kyle is, Clover’s with him making sure he’s safe.”

Jenkinson prefers to say Kyle is autistic, rather than that he has autism.

“It’s not something you can catch,” she says.

Kyle chatters during the interview, reminding his mom that it’s time to pick up his sister.

But when he was young, non-verbal and frequently distressed, it was a hard time, Jenkinson says.

“Of all the people in the world, it was actually Mike Danks, my childhood friend, … he was the first person on this planet who had the courage and the compassion and the care to ask me what I needed.”

Wednesday’s session is only the beginning, and more workshops are planned to help NSR tailor their searches. But for Jenkinson, Wednesday night was a very encouraging start to making the North Shore a little safer and a bit more inclusive.

“So that moms like myself, at night, can actually catch our breath and put our heads down on the pillow and try to get a good night’s sleep.”

POLITICS: ANDREW SAXTON

Defeated MP for North Van prepares bid for Tory leadership JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

It’s official.

Former North Vancouver MP Andrew Saxton will attempt to become the next leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, according to his campaign spokesman Brock Stephenson.

Saxton is expected to promote himself as a responsible financial steward as well as the lone voice from British Columbia in the

leadership campaign.

Saxton, who lost his seat in 2015 after serving two terms as North Vancouver’s member of Parliament, has frequently been critical of the Liberals, recently taking to Twitter to blast Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s implementation of the carbon tax.

While discussing the possibility he might wade into the leadership race last summer, Saxton was quick to tout his role as a key player

in the Conservative government led by former prime minister Stephen Harper.

“I was (finance minister) Jim Flaherty’s right-hand man as parliamentary secretary of finance,” he said.

“I was part of the team that balanced the budget.”

Saxton has said he will likely walk away from his current role overseeing residential construction with real estate investment company King George Financial Corp. once the race begins.

Saxton is planning an official announcement next week in North Vancouver, according to Stephenson.

Candidates for the Conservative leadership need to first pay a $50,000 registration fee. Saxton will also have to pay a $50,000 compliance fee before the end of the year.

After representing North Vancouver for seven years, Saxton lost his seat in 2015 as a Liberal surge ushered Justin Trudeau into the

Prime Minister’s office. New MP Jonathan Wilkinson captured 56 per cent of the vote in North Vancouver, handily defeating Saxton, who garnered 27 per cent.

Confirmed as leadership candidates on the Conservative Party’s website are Maxime Bernier, Michael Chong, Kellie Leitch, Deepak Obhrai, Andrew Scheer and Brad Trost.

Previous hopeful Ontario MP Tony Clement recently dropped out of the race.

CapU to host presidential debate panel discussion JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

Anyone who likes their attacks ad hominem and their mud slung is invited to watch the third and final U.S. presidential debate in the cosy confines of Capilano University Wednesday.

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican candidate Donald Trump are scheduled to conclude their dustup trilogy with one last verbal joust before the Nov. 8 election.

U.S. Consul General to Vancouver Lynne Platt is set to take part in a post-debate panel discussion.

Platt previously headed the Law Enforcement and Narcotics Affairs section at the U.S. Embassy in Portau-Prince, and worked as

deputy director of a provincial reconstruction team at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.

Wednesday’s event is intended to “cut through the Fox, CNN, MSNBC noise,” according to Capilano University School of Communication instructor Michael Markwick. Keeping abreast of U.S. politics is part of being a good neighbour, according to Markwick.

“We should always be positively engaging with each other, especially when you’re dealing with something as extraordinary as this election.

Closer to home, watching these debates should help us get ready to participate in B.C.’s election, which is just around the corner,” he stated in a press release.

Tickets are free but spectators must register through eventbrite.ca. The event will

be held at the BlueShore Financial Centre for the Performing Arts, at Cap U’s North Van campus, 2055 Purcell Way. Doors open at 5 p.m. and the event starts an hour later.

Midweek, Clinton was leading Trump in the popular vote by 6.5 percentage points, according to number cruncher and fivethirtyeight.com founder Nate Silver. A 2005 audiotape of Trump saying his star status allowed him to commit sexual assault with impunity seems to have hurt his chances as he now trails Clinton by 15 percentage points among female voters, according to Silver.

Slightly more than onethird of registered voters said the presidential debates will be key in deciding who gets their ballot, according to a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.

Kilmer Creek debris basin to help prevent flooding

From page 1

Environment Canada.

Approximately 100 millimetres of rain is expected to pelt the North Shore before the storm ends, with the largest accumulation expected closer to the mountains.

Flash floods and pools forming on roads are expected.

The District of North Vancouver is asking residents to clear debris around drains, remove leaves from roofs and gutters, and ensure downspouts are connected.

Residents are also reminded to have flashlights and emergency provisions on hand in case of a prolonged power outage.

The District of North Vancouver is currently building a sediment control basin on Kilmer Creek to help prevent flooding.

“We’re trying to control the amount of debris and sediment that comes down the mountainside before it reaches the storm drainage infrastructure and plugs everything up,” explained district public safety manager Fiona Dercole.

Crews clear storm drains to keep flash floods off the streets.

A looming October storm is expected to cause power outages and could topple trees. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD The B.C. River Forecast Centre issued a high streamflow advisory for the Seymour River. While heavy rainfall didn’t quite materialize Wednesday, Environment Canada is still anticipating more than 100 millimetres of rainfall from the storms.

Flooding is most likely Saturday and Sunday, according to the forecast centre.

With flooding a possibility, parents are reminded to carefully monitor children who play in the vicinity of rivers and streams, according to a statement issued

by North Vancouver school district superintendent Mark Pearmain.

A 2014 deluge forced 17 Lynn Valley homes to be evacuated after 20 millimetres of

rain fell in two hours, causing Hastings Creek to overflow and send a torrent into the neighbourhood.

Drivers should be watchful for pedestrians during and after the storm, noted District of West Vancouver spokesman Jeff McDonald.

“It’s important that drivers slow down a little during rainstorms when visibility is low,” he said.

Roadway maintenance company Mainroad is scheduled to patrol the North Shore for highway flooding for the next few days, according to a release from the company.

Anyone who observes a trouble spot can call Mainroad at 1-866-904-0209.

The North Shore’s Emergency Operation Centre – which functions as mission control during an emergency – is on standby, McDonald said.

Residents are reminded to check in on their neighbours.

The Grouse Grind closed Thursday due to the storms.

To report severe weather, send an email to pacificstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports to #BCStorm.

Museum has plans to display streetcar From page 1 lot between West Esplanade and Carrie Cates Court.

Council approved the museum moving into the space on a 10-year lease, as long as it meets certain conditions. Among those, organizers can’t come back to the city or the District of North Vancouver asking for any more operating funds above annual inflationary increases; the museum must vacate its off-site warehouse storage space, and it must operate under a business plan approved by council.

The cancellation of the previous Pipe Shop project meant organizers had to reapply for federal funding, with no guarantees they would get it.

Proponents are hopeful

that those who had pledged funding to the previous Pipe Shop project will renew those pledges to the new museum.

While proponents of a new museum were initially crushed by council’s rejection of the Pipe Shop project, “we truly do believe this opportunity is a superior opportunity to the one in the Pipe Shop,” said Kirkpatrick. The new museum space will be custom built and will have underground parking, as well as a large lobby area with high ceilings, where there are plans to display one of the restored original Lonsdale streetcars.

The operating budget for the museum and archives is currently about $1.3 million annually, with the majority of that funded by the two North Vancouver municipalities.

Sorry day

A

ll too often, public apologies are a verbal shell game featuring language that’s been scrubbed and sanitized by a PR firm. Politicians with moist eyes clear their throat, say they’re sorry - and with the next breath gracefully sidestep responsibility.

And that’s why watching RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson apologize – sincerely, bluntly and meaningfully – for the intimidating and discriminatory treatment so many female officers have endured was as refreshing as it was momentous.

For many authority figures, acknowledging a mistake undermines credibility.

And so the police seldom explain or apologize. Some would call that resolute, but as accusations of humiliation, professional sabotage and sexual harassment mounted over the years, that resoluteness started to look like the

worst kind of stubbornness.

Some female officers found a measure of validation in court, but it always seemed to come at too great a cost as reports of anxiety, depression and PTSD were commonplace.

The officers have suffered, but in another sense we’ve all lost. Across Canada, prejudice prevented more than 1,000 women were kept from doing what they set out to do: protect and serve.

Critics of corruption like to say the fish rots from the head down, pointing out that the holder of the highest office bears the greatest responsibility. If that’s true, we hope Paulson’s apology will set a new tone for police detachments across the country.

We hope his words will be a harbinger of a new era of RCMP accountability.

In short, we hope the cops do what they do best: find the guilty and bring them to justice.

Boomers’ home equity hangs in balance

I

have a complex relationship with my home.

It’s a nice place to live, really. Built in the late ’80s, it features big rooms, vaulted ceilings, patio overlooking the Capilano River, close proximity to Edgemont Village.

If that sounds like a real estate ad, you’re beginning to understand what I’m talking about. Here in North Vancouver – and everywhere else in the world’s most overheated real estate market – a house is not a home. It’s an investment portfolio.

And my question is: Dude, what are you doing to my investment portfolio?

That’s the collective “dude,” by the way. It takes in all the politicians who are now tinkering feverishly with our ridiculous real estate market they just as

The North Side Paul Sullivan feverishly ignored during the run-up.

Like the province, which slapped a 15 per cent tax on foreign real estate buyers this summer.

Like the City of Vancouver, which imposed a two per cent tax on residences that remain empty, warehoused as commodities ready to be flipped.

CONTACTUS

Like the federal government, which announced a number of measures – one to prevent people from dodging the capital gains tax on the sale of a residence, the other to prevent people from taking on mortgages they can’t afford.

And let’s throw in West Van, where some councillors want to levy higher property taxes on people who don’t live in the residences they own.

We’ll just have to wait and see what kind of effect this will have on the value of all these magnificently overpriced homes that boomers are sitting on, hoping that value will still be there when it comes time to cash in, retire and move to Osoyoos where you can still buy a nice house for under half a million bucks.

The first signs, at least

for the equity builders, are not good. In the seven weeks before the 15 per cent tax on foreign buyers was imposed, there were 2,034 deals involving foreign buyers worth $2.3 billion.

In the four weeks after the tax … yikes! Down to 60 deals worth a total of about $47 million.

Jane Seyd’s recent article in the News documents the damage in our own backyard: sales down 58 per cent in West Van in July and August year over year, and down 33 per cent in North Van from July to September, also year over year.

That popping sound you hear? That’s what a bubble sounds like when somebody applies a 15 per cent pin.

The purpose of all this tinkering is to make buying a home more affordable for B.C. residents. So far, the

price of an unrenovated bungalow in various North Van neighbourhoods is still north of a million bucks, which stretches the definition of “affordable.” Let’s face it: “not affordable” is more like it, especially after Ottawa’s changes will make it harder to get a mortgage for first time home buyers.

As of this coming Monday, buyers will have to prove they can qualify for mortgage financing at the bank of Canada rate of 4.6 per cent, even if they are able to get a mortgage for less than that, meaning that they have to prove they can afford hundreds of dollars a month more than they’ll actually have to pay.

How does that make a home more affordable for a first-time buyer?

So you’ve got one government trying to bring down

Non-resident property tax to be formally debated Dear Editor: I write to clarify Jane Seyd’s article on Oct. 6, which may have left the mistaken impression that West Vancouver council has already voted to impose a non-resident property tax levy.

Housing affordability is and remains a major concern for council.

While local governments have to deal with the effects of the housing crises first hand, we have very limited ability to do anything to address it, particularly on the demand side.

To this end, council recently approached the provincial government about the concept of allowing municipalities to levy a higher rate of property tax on those who do not claim their home as a principal residence. However, council has not yet made a formal request to the province to make the necessary legislative changes.

Even more importantly, council has not yet decided that such a property tax levy is worthwhile.

If council does make a formal request and if the

province amends the legislation to allow municipalities to set different residential property tax rates, council would then have to work out the details of such a tax and carefully weigh the pros and cons, to ensure it would work as intended, before moving forward the initiative.

A final decision could only be made in an open council meeting after robust public consultation.

Craig Cameron Councillor, West Vancouver

Support for foreign buyers’ tax From page 8 Still, most people in this region support the foreign buyers’ tax which is taking the air out of their equity.

An Insights West poll released Sept. 14 shows that 76 per cent of residents support the 15 per cent tax, although they don’t think it

will improve affordability.

And it’s not as if these are all renters with their noses pressed to the glass at an open house, waiting for the price to go down.

About 70 per cent of Metro Vancouver residents are homeowners, or at least own a mortgage.

They have plenty to lose.

With any luck they – we, that is – won’t lose it.

Bait car snares would-be thief in Cedardale area JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

A thief in West Vancouver was hooked by police after allegedly helping himself to some electronic bait placed in a police bait car.

Police got an alert around 8 p.m. Saturday that someone had entered a bait car parked on a residential street in the Cedardale area of West Vancouver, east of Taylor Way. Bait cars are special cars used by police forces throughout the Lower Mainland to

nab thieves. While they look like ordinary cars, bait cars are equipped with audio and video recorders and can be controlled remotely by police.

In some cases, police also place objects like marked cellphones and other electronics in cars to lure thieves who might be tempted to help themselves.

In this case, police officers confirmed the electronic “bait” had been taken from the car then set up road blocks to check cars leaving the neighbourhood. An officer on the road check noticed items in

one car that appeared similar to those stolen from the bait car. Serial numbers confirmed they were the same items. The driver of the car was arrested.

Scott Norman Taylor, 49, of Vancouver, faces charges of theft under $5,000 and possession of stolen property under $5,000.

Brette Harrington brings new perspective to rock climbing

Out on the wall

! Reel Rock 11, presented by the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival, Tuesday, Oct. 18 and Thursday, Oct. 20 at Vancouver’s Rio Theatre, and Friday, Oct. 21 at North Vancouver’s Centennial Theatre. Doors: 6:30 p.m. Show 7:30 p.m. Tickets: $19/$17/$15. vimff.org ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com

“I literally just got back to the ground,” says Brette Harrington, reached Wednesday by the North Shore News.

The 24-year-old professional rock climber and alpinist had just touched down after a day of climbing in New York State

in The Gunks, known officially as Shawangunk Ridge. She had found herself in the area stemming from her involvement in Reel Rock 11, an annual film tour that showcases climbing and adventure films, along with the filmmakers and featured athletes themselves, to cities around the world.

Harrington is one of this year’s athletes, appearing in person at festival stops in Denver, San Francisco and New York, and is the star of a film entitled Brette, described by Reel Rock 11 organizers as giving audiences an opportunity to follow the “rising talent … on a global journey from her hometown granite in Squamish to the big wall proving ground of Yosemite’s El Capitan and onto a landmark free solo in Patagonia.”

Local audiences can check out Harrington on the big screen next week when Reel Rock 11 touches down in the

Lower Mainland, presented by the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival, Tuesday, Oct. 18 and Thursday, Oct. 20 at Vancouver’s Rio Theatre, and Friday, Oct. 21 at North Vancouver’s Centennial Theatre.

While Harrington, who grew up in Lake Tahoe, previously lived in both Squamish and Vancouver, she’s spent the last two years on the road, travelling from one climbing destination to another, adding to her growing list of achievements, including a number of first ascents and impressive free solos.

“I really like moving from place to place,” says Harrington, who in recent years has travelled to Patagonia, Indian Creek in southern Utah, Canmore, Alta., various countries in Europe,

REVIEW: UNLESS

Family mystery at heart of Shields’ final novel ! Unless. Written and directed by Alan Gilsenan.

Starring Catherine Keener and Hannah Gross. Rating: 7 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD Contributing writer

In Unless, a woman grapples with the sudden departure of her seemingly happy college-aged daughter, who is discovered on the streets of Toronto several weeks later, mute and virtually catatonic.

The Canada-Ireland coproduction is directed by Alan Gilsenan and based on Pulitzer Prize-winning author Carol Shields’ final novel, which delves into issues of female exclusion with a much angrier tone on the page than is on display here in the film.

Instead, Catherine Keener gives a masterly, often daring performance as a mother moving through several stages of grief as she tries to solve the mystery of her daughter’s catastrophic transformation.

Reta (Keener) is translator for a successful feminist writer as well as an author

in her own right, with one fairly successful novel to her credit. She lives comfortably with partner Tom (Matt Craven) and three teenaged daughters, a bustling, stimulating life. But the idyll is shattered when Reta receives a phone call that her eldest, Norah (Hannah Gross), has left university and is living on the streets.

A frenzied drive downtown confirms her fears: Norah is parked right outside the bright lights and nickeland-dime kitsch of Honest Ed’s store. She does not speak, she does not ask passers-by for money: she simply sits all day holding a cardboard sign that reads “goodness”.

Reta and the family try everything: they plead and cry. They bring creature comforts and family friends by. Because Norah is over age 18 there is little that they can do. An ex-boyfriend and the director of a shelter where Norah sleeps each night yield precious little information.

In the end, there is nothing for Reta to do but keep silent vigil with her daughter,

Reel Rock features new faces of climbing From page 13

Baffin Island and Yosemite National Park.

“When I was younger I went to boarding school and I didn’t know what I wanted to do and I couldn’t really imagine my life. Some people that I talked to … could look into the future and say, ‘I know I want to be a lawyer’ or ‘I want to be a nurse.’ They could foresee their life but I just had no idea.

All I knew I wanted to do is do something that I was going to be a master at,” she says.

At age 18, Harrington decided to dedicate her life to climbing.

“I just felt like I needed to focus my energy on something that I loved and something that I could help in the progression of,” she says, going on to explain that she most definitely feels that’s possible with climbing, which allows her to apply her creativity to advance the sport.

Harrington says that Brette, her Reel Rock 11 film, showcases her perspective on climbing as well as encourages viewers to try hard, explore the adventures of climbing and most importantly have fun.

“I like to be alone a lot and I like the focus that that draws.

climb and living outside, living on the wall, primarily living on a portaledge, which is this little fabric ledge that I live in. I think it’s just trying to show a different perspective to climbing. I do a lot of free soloing also so it highlights (that) and the different aspects of climbing that I choose to do: crack climbing, trad climbing,” she adds.

Other films featured at this year’s Reel Rock 11 include: Young Guns, highlighting

I like being connected without having to deal with all of the complications of having partners, and trying really hard. In the movie, you can tell there’s a huge difference between when I’m soloing and when I’m climbing on a rope – my mentality’s really different,” she says.

“A lot of people take climbing very competitively … but my climbing is mainly just about going out and finding big, adventurous places to

Meanwhile, Norah faces some of the more predictable perils of life on the street, her face a silent mask of compressed suffering.

She and Tom’s rock-solid relationship shows cracks as he considers institutionalization (“we didn’t push her away, she did that all by herself!”) while Reta preaches patience. (She does, however,

reach a breaking point and try to drag Norah into her waiting car, a tactic considered by every truthful parent in the audience.) And it isn’t long before Norah’s choice affects Reta’s life as a public figure: a tenacious reporter (Brendan Coyle) asks Reta a few soft-lob questions before getting to the heart of the matter, the issue of “the famous author and the homeless child.”

Two months and four days in, Reta is cathartically writing about that word,

goodness, as she creates a new reality for her family.

“Happiness isn’t goodness, I know that now,” she says.

It’s hard to maintain the energy of that initial dramatic premise, waiting as we are for the reason that Norah took to the streets. Credit goes to Gilsenan for paring down some of the weightier elements of Shields’ prose in order to give vitality to a film that is essentially a mystery about a young woman sitting still; it’s a film that’ll move you, regardless.

INUIT ART: CAPE DORSET 2016 PRINT RELEASE

Gallery focuses on original aboriginal art ABoriginArt selling two sets of West Baffin Island collection ! Cape Dorset annual print collection for 2016 opens Saturday, Oct. 15. For more information visit inuit.net.

MARIA SPITALE-LEISK mspitale-leisk@nsnews.com

Simon Griffiths turned his passion for First Nations art into an enterprise after immersing in the Inuit culture.

ABoriginArt Galleries owner Simon Griffiths shows some intricate Inuit and First Nations art from his collection.

The taller sculpture was carved on Baffin Island in 1970 from walrus tusk ivory. The grey carving is soapstone circa 1980 from Arctic Quebec and the bear sculpture was made from Albertan stone this year by a First Nation artist originally from Manitoba now living in Vancouver. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD

The one-time airline industry employee would routinely fly in and out of Artic Quebec and watch the artists in their element.

“I spent time with the Inuit people and up North, and fell in love with their culture, their mythology, their artwork and just with the Inuit people in general,” says Griffiths.

He recalls one interesting evening in Inuit territory.

Griffiths was leaving a home he had been invited to for dinner, when he noticed a commotion at the end of the gravel road in the remote community.

One of the local elders who had walked off into the woods

a couple of months prior which Griffiths says they often do if they feel like they are coming to the end of their life – had suddenly reappeared on the road.

“And we were just standing there watching this whole scene unfold and it was unbelievable because within five minutes he turned around and said: ‘Can someone get me a Diet Coke?’” says Griffiths with a laugh.

He said that encounter still blows his mind today, because of the jarring juxtaposition between the old world and the new world. Griffiths jokes about a million-dollar missed opportunity for a Coke campaign.

Griffiths started ABoriginArt Galleries, an online art store, in Toronto in 1998, before moving to Lions Bay in 2005 and eventually settling in North Vancouver a year ago. While Griffiths does carry other Aboriginal art, he is still strongly focused on the Inuit genre.

The printmaking process up North is fascinating to

Griffiths, who explains the Inuit have been using fine Japanese paper since 1959.

A lot of earlier Inuit art was not signed because it held no significance to the artists, explains Griffiths. They were surprised that someone would consider their traditional craft as art or even pay for it.

The release of the Cape Dorset Annual Print Collection is akin to Christmas morning for Griffiths, who has carried the rare Inuit prints every year since he launched ABoriginArt. “For me personally, it’s one of the most exciting times of the year, seeing what the new release comprises of,” says Griffiths.

A tradition since 1959, the collection represents the best and brightest Inuit art from West Baffin Island. This year’s instalment pays homage to Inuit art history and cultural heritage, with an emphasis on lithography and etching approaches to art.

An artist will painstakingly etch into a soft stone their intricate design that is later transferred onto Japanese rice paper. The stone is often destroyed afterwards, so the

Notice of Road Closure and Property CLICKDisposition TO EDIT MASTER TITLE 200 Block Orwell Street What: Public input opportunity regarding the closure of

approximately 381 square metres of municipal road allowance consisting of a portion of lane along the 200 Block of Orwell Street.

After her death in 1970 the home of Nova Scotia folk artist Maud Lewis was acquired by the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia and reassembled in Halifax. It was her biggest artwork: she painted almost every surface: walls, cupboards, windowpanes and the woodstove. PHOTOS SUPPLIED

NOVA SCOTIA: MAUD LEWIS

When: 7 pm, Monday, October 24, 2016.

Where: Council Chambers, District of North Vancouver Municipal Hall, 355 West Queens Road, North Vancouver, BC.

No room for darkness in work of folk artist ALLAN LYNCH Meridian Writers’ Group

HALIFAX – In a room in the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia is a tiny, shakeshingle house. Outside, it’s conventionally painted, white with green trim. But inside its door and walls are covered with brightly coloured artworks.

The painter was Maud Lewis (née Dowley, 1903-1970), a folk artist whose international reputation took a huge leap up in the fall of 2016 when a film based on her life, Maudie, starring Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke, was shown first at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival and then at the opening-night gala of the Vancouver International Film Festival.

It’s probably fair to say that Lewis would have been gobsmacked to find her life story taken up by Hollywood. She was born with major physical challenges: severe scoliosis and crippling rheumatoid arthritis that deformed her fingers. These, and her diminutive, elf-like size, made her an easy target of mockery by other children.

After the death of her doting parents when she was in her 30s, she went to live with an aunt in Digby, 230 kilometres by road west of Halifax on the shores of the Bay of Fundy, and answered an ad for a housekeeper placed by Everett Lewis, who lived in nearby Marshalltown.

Lewis was a part-time fisherman/peddler and jackof-all-trades whose home was a 3-by-3 1/2-metre roadside shack that lacked plumbing and electricity. His strained circumstances were bottleinduced. Discovering that Maud could paint, he peddled

SUBJECT PROPERTY Folk artist Maud Lewis with one of her paintings. her works as a way to supplement the household income and supply his drink.

(Local cynics said he married her as a way to avoid paying her for her housekeeping. Ironically, he ended up doing all the housework so she could paint.)

Maud’s earliest works were Christmas cards, and even later in her career, when she had branched out, her works were still small: most no larger than a sheet of writing paper.

Today, her hand-painted $2 cards and $5 paintings command thousands of dollars.

Among Maud’s early fans were U.S. president Richard Nixon, who ordered two of her works for the White House, and Nova Scotia’s premier from 1956 to 1967, Robert Stanfield.

Maud used marine or house paints – whatever Everett brought back – on particleboard and cardboard. Her art depicts a boldly colourful world of happy people and animals; a world of movement, of horse-drawn wagons and children at play. In spite of her life, there is no time for darkness in her work.

Painting was Maud’s

passion and her escape. When not producing something for sale she made her tiny house her biggest canvas, painting almost every surface of it and in it, from cupboards to windowpanes, the door and the woodstove, right down to the dustpan.

The house was left to deteriorate after Everett died in 1979, until a society was formed to raise funds to save the landmark. It took until 1996 for the restoration of Maud’s home to begin.

Dismantled, moved and reconstructed in its own gallery in the Art Galley of Nova Scotia, it is one of the most unusual – and moving – art pieces in Canada.

What changes?

Bylaw 8202 proposes to close portions of dedicated municipal road allowance. If Bylaw 8202 is adopted, the District intends to dispose of the land to Adera Equities Inc. for consolidation with their adjacent lots. In exchange the District will receive the appraised market value of $1,600,000.00 and a new easement for access to the District’s adjacent future affordable housing development and installation of necessary public utility infrastructure. The road closure is subject to separate public processes for rezoning the adjacent Adera properties to a multifamily development and a possible OCP amendment.

When can I speak?

If you are affected by this proposed closure, please join us for the Regular Council Meeting to be held on Monday, October 24, 2016 at 7 pm at the North Vancouver District Hall.

Need more info?

The bylaw and staff reports are available for review online at www.dnv.org/road_closures or at the Municipal Clerks Office.

Office hours are Monday to Friday 8:00 am to 4:30 pm.

Sudsing up organically by the seashore

Soap maker Sasha Selby immersed in nature

MARIA SPITALE-LEISK mspitale-leisk@nsnews.com

Sasha Selby certainly fits the vintage vibe as a vendor at the upcoming Déjà Vu market at Shipbuilders’ Square.

The owner of Jack and Audrey’s Natural Products lives electronics-free on an old classic boat at Mosquito Creek Marina, where she spends her nights needle felting.

During the day, Selby heads to her family’s expansive 10-acre property on a mountain in Chilliwack, to craft handmade soap in a studio her father built her.

Here, Selby immerses herself in nature and unleashes her creativity.

“I kind of found my creative outlet with soaping,” she says, excitedly. “You can have a lot of fun with it. I dye soap with juiced organic vegetables and clays and botanicals.”

Selby did some beta carotene testing with carrots and found it turned the soap a “really awesome” orange colour. Beets are another story. The dye from the vibrant-hued veggie went brown during the saponification process.

Kale is a good choice for natural soap making, Selby has learned.

“It goes this really rich green colour,” she says.

Sasha Selby and her daughter Audrey, 4, aboard their houseboat at Mosquito Creek Marina, smell some handmade soaps they will be selling at the Déjà Vu Vintage Market at Shipbuilders’ Square this Saturday. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD Selby recently made a pumpkin spice soap for fall from pureed pumpkin with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. She took a big sniff after the pumpkin soap came off the curing rack, and was

seduced by the smell of the spices.

Selby’s soap making process is a labour of love that starts with sourcing beef fat from her local butcher, so she can render her own tallow.

“It’s one of the first things soap was ever made from,” says Selby of her old-fashioned method.

She also grows some of the fruits and veggies she uses for dyeing soap, and

sources local Canadian wool for her hand-felted soaps.

The colourful wool shrinks with the soap as you lather and acts as a washcloth.

Selby says it’s a great soap for kids, since it’s not slippery

and doesn’t create the dreaded soap scum.

Some of Selby’s handmade soap is wrapped in butcher paper and looks like a tiny vintage parcel topped with a vintage stamp from around the world.

The final touch is the oldfashioned hand stamp. For this part, Selby is helped by her kids, Jack, 5, and Audrey, 4, who is company is inspired by.

Living on the boat, the family embraces the simple life. There’s a record player aboard that bellows Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra.

Selby describes the 1949 Chris-Craft as the “Cadillac of boats” with a mahogany wood interior and drawers cut out with little anchors.

The kids especially get a kick out of the nautical lifestyle.

“They legitimately think that we’re pirates,” says Selby with a laugh. “They tell everyone we live on a boat. Little Audrey thinks that there’s ‘merpups’ that live in the water, mermaid dogs, so she talks to them every night.”

Selby will be selling her soap along with her unique needle felt creations – wall hangings set on driftwood and little cacti in vintage pots – at the Déjà Vu Vintage Market this Saturday, Oct. 15 at Shipbuilders’ Square.

Over 30 vintage vendors will fill The Pipe Shop with furniture, home and garden decor, antiques, collectibles, jewelry and plenty of other handmade, old-fashioned inspired gifts. More information about the event is available at dejavuvintagemarket.com.

Walt Whitman’s Secret is told from the perspective of Horace Traubel, the real-life author of the nine-volume biography With Walt Whitman in Camden, and is based off of Canadian poet and author George Fetherling’s novel of the same name.

While researching Whitman’s work, one of the things that astonished playwright Sean O’Leary most was the unlikely way he wrote about love.

“The historical Walt Whitman was somebody who never actually had an enduring loving or romantic relationship in his life. Rather, he went through a lengthy stream of lovers, so far as we know,” says O’Leary.

The driving theme of the play is the tension that arises when the idealized love, which Whitman so often wrote about, doesn’t quite match up with the actualization of love.

“The characters are searching through the play to define love and their relationship to it,” says Jack Paterson, director. “The text deals with many different forms of love – unrequited, denied, plutonic, passionate, private, shared … For me the play is about the secrets we keep inside – I long, I desire, I need and how those come into conflict both internally and externally. Why do we need poetry? To express what we cannot speak.”

But the love displayed on stage between all four characters is a dynamic dance that balances passion and tension very carefully, explains Chris Gatchalian, artistic producer with Frank. He sees Whitman’s poetry as a defiant stand against a strain of intolerance toward the LGBTQ community that is still very much present in America today.

“It is an unabashed celebration of the erotic, of the sensual, of the body,” says

Gatchalian.

“The characters – who are all based on historical real-life figures – cross the gender lines with regards to their sexual lives and who they fall in love with. So in the play there’s this sexual fluidity – this pansexuality – happening inside the tight constraints of late 19th century American society, which mirrors in some ways constraints still present in today’s society.

Perhaps we’re no longer as homophobic as we used to be, but Puritanism has now taken the form of a tendency to want to pigeonhole people as either “gay” or “straight,” which is contrary to how grey and nuanced sexuality really is.”

Although Whitman never openly admitted he was gay, O’Leary says the theory was hard to dismiss among close friends, followers and analysts of his work. Nods to homosexuality in his work were routinely passed off as spiritual interpretation by many who were either unwilling to accept his sexuality or accomplices in protecting this secret.

“The implication being, well he’s not really gay, what he’s talking about is this idealized love and the sensation that he experiences,” says O’Leary. “He allowed that kind of rationalization to flourish because I think it served a couple of purposes; it insulated him but it also helped keep his poetry and his work acceptable to the general public at a time when, had he acknowledged his homosexuality, it would have certainly been devastating commercially to have done so.”

Despite the change of pace in subject matter, Frank Theatre continues to stay committed to bringing diverse talent to the stage. Tom Pickett, an African American actor and multiple Jessie Award nominee originally from Berkeley, California, plays Whitman and “embodies the rhythms and cadences of American English” that the role required, says Gatchalian. Adele Noronha, a recent graduate of the Studio 58 theatre program originally from India plays Anne Montgomery, wife of Traubel.

“I know they’re trying to reach a larger audience, but at the same time certainly do something that their core audience is going to greatly appreciate,” says O’Leary. “I’m really hopeful that this play will be successful in having them... create theatre and create an experience that you don’t have to be gay, or straight, or anything else to not just experience but really and genuinely enjoy.”

Maplewood Gardens residents: Mark LeBlanc, Robert Barrett and Bob Hjorthoy

DEVELOPER GIVES RENTERS A VOICE North Vancouver’s Darwin Properties hopes to revitalize the heart of Maplewood with the redevelopment of Maplewood Gardens (located behind the new Stong’s Market), currently home to 58 rental apartments built around 1972.

Perhaps the most unique aspect of this proposal is how Darwin plans to protect the interests of the 58 families who currently call Maplewood Gardens their home. Over the past 12 months, Darwin has hosted a series of meetings and workshops with the Maplewood Gardens residents to obtain their input into the design of the project and to understand their future housing needs. The outcome of these meetings is an affordable housing strategy that provides long term security for the existing residents.

Darwin proposes to replace 100% of the existing units with new rental housing at capped rent rates based on Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation affordability levels.

“Our message to all Maplewood Gardens tenants is simple: If you rent here now, we want to build you a new a home in the new development and we will make sure the rent is affordable” explains Oliver Webbe, President of Darwin Properties.

In 2012, Coriolis Consulting Corp. issued a rental housing report for Greater Vancouver

concluding that 93% of the existing rental housing stock in the District of North Vancouver is at risk of redevelopment over the next 10 years.

“Many of the residents at Maplewood Gardens have been living here for more than a decade.

They are embedded in the local community and many of their children attend local schools,” adds Webbe. “It is time that developers start listening to tenants and become part of the solution, not the problem.”

Maplewood is envisioned as a complete and balanced community with thriving local jobs and businesses that reflect high environmental and aesthetic standards, complementing the community’s outstanding natural setting.

The District of North Vancouver are currently preparing a detailed planning policy framework for the Maplewood area. For more information on this process, please visit www.dnv.org.

Darwin looks forward to participating in the District-led community engagement process and hopes that they can start construction on the affordable rental housing project by 2018.

REVIEW: THE FLICK

Trio fearlessly play with the framing of time ! The Flick, Arts Club Granville Island Stage, until Oct. 29. For tickets, call 604687-1644, or go to artsclub. com.

JO LEDINGHAM Contributing writer

If The Flick were a wildlife painting, it would be a Robert Bateman — perfect in every detail right down to the frost on the whiskers of a coyote.

Photographic in its execution. Of course, Bateman carefully selects his subject, the setting and the “look” whether it be predator or prey. And so does Annie Baker make thousands of choices in her 2014 Pulitzer prize-winning play, The Flick.

Exact in every detail — right down to the sweeping up of popcorn off the floor and mopping up the spilled soft drinks — Act 1 is almost excruciating in unpacking the lives of three low-paid theatre employees.

Sam (Haig Sutherland), in his 30s, is at a dead-end in what is basically a janitorial job. Rose (Shannon ChanKent) has moved up from janitorial to projectionist but the theatre, called the Flick, is flickering out and will soon go digital. She will go back to sweeping and mopping or be unemployed. Geeky Avery (Jesse Reid) is just taking a break from his college studies, but he’s emotionally paralyzed, bewildered and blocked.

Lauchlin Johnston’s set

Jesse Reid, Haig Sutherland, and Shannon Chan-Kent play employees of an old movie theatre in The Flick, which runs until Oct. 29 at the Arts Club Granville Island Stage. PHOTO SUPPLIED DAVID COOPER takes you by surprise. It’s a perfect rendering of an old-style movie house: rows of seats on a raked floor, recessed lights down the side walls, swinging, double back doors, red EXIT signs and the projection booth up high at the back. There’s a moment of hesitation when you enter the theatre — is that the set or are we supposed to sit there? The set clearly

functions as a mirror image of periods in some of our own lives.

Playwright Baker gives us three characters in hyper-real time. And it takes time. Sam and Avery carry on desultory conversations as they, in no hurry, clear the popcorn and wrapper-strew aisles. In Act 1 they reveal little of themselves except their obsession with and amazing knowledge

of movies. Sam challenges Avery, the new guy, to link the six or more degrees of separation between actors: Britney Spears and Michael J. Fox, for example. Nerdy and bespectacled, Avery is incredible in his recall.

When Rose (in ripped jeans and wild, blue hair) enters, there’s something in the air. Tension. Longing.

I was restless and irritated

by Act 1. Real time can be boring. It takes time for The Flick to get going.

But it gets going in Act 2 and it’s wonderful and sad and funny and, above everything else, it’s real, even profound. It takes three completely necessary hours to get there but it’s well worth the wait.

Dean Paul Gibson directs this fabulous cast (that includes brief appearances

of Aaron Paul Stewart as Dreaming Man and Skylar).

These are complex, multilayered souls, and real time allows the actors to fully explore and expand on their characters – long spaces between questions and answers, slow musings, awkward miscommunications, painful realizations, lots of “Huh” moments.

Reid is gangly and awkward in his posture with his arms hanging. As Avery, he is so tortured, so insecure that every apologetic, “Sorry” feels like a blow to the heart. And yet, broken as he appears to be, he is the moral touchstone.

Chan-Kent finds all the contradiction in Rose who appears to be a confident kick-ass sort of girl but who is just as stalled – in different ways – as Avery and Sam. Chan-Kent blows the lid off the Granville Island Stage with a dirty, dirty dance. I’ve never seen anything quite like it and neither has dumbstruck Avery.

Actor Haig Sutherland continues to amaze. He takes his time with many “wait-forit” moments. The anguish of Sam’s unrequited love is so painful you might weep.

But you won’t leave the theatre sad. Pensive, perhaps. Impressed at the playwright’s intelligence and courage. And amazed that the Pulitzer committee was astute enough to see the brilliance in The Flick.

– Jo Ledingham writes for our sister paper the Vancouver Courier.

Nostalgia not a bad word in Hayden’s book Singer/songwriter celebrates old tunes with series of shows GREGORYADAMS Contributing writer

While many listeners will be hit with a wave of ‘90s-era nostalgia after tossing on Canadian indie folk player Hayden’s Everything I Long For, the now 20-year-old album possesses a lot of timeless qualities.

Check, for instance, “We Don’t Mind,” a tender acoustic piece about two lovers calling in sick so they can spend some extra time together. While easily relatable, younger fans just getting into the singersongwriter’s early years might be confused as to why the narrative takes the pair outside to make the calls from a phone booth instead of just dialing from their iPhones in bed. For that matter, they might also scratch their heads trying to figure out exactly what the hell a phone booth is.

“I made that joke at some of the concerts – ‘There’s technology references that some people in the audience won’t understand,” Hayden says with a bashful laugh of playing the tune on a recent leg of anniversary dates behind the album, which was also given a deluxe vinyl release earlier this year.

The celebrated folksmith is on the line from his Toronto home, where he and his wife are spending the day crunching numbers for their annual Dream Serenade benefit concert at Toronto’s Massey Hall on

NORTH SHORE

This year Hayden has been performing the entire Everything I Long For album in concert, including a gig earlier this month at St. James Community Square (wasteyourdaysaway.com). PHOTO SUPPLIED

Oct. 22, but he’s also been performing 20th anniversary shows for his Everything I Long For album.

Released domestically in 1995 and internationally a year later, Hayden says he hadn’t played most of its songs for 18 years before bringing them back on the road last spring. Even signature single “Bad As They Seem,” a detuned acoustic jam that became a MuchMusic staple in the mid ‘90s, doesn’t get brought out every concert. That he’s skipped out on showcasing these songs in favour of broadening his repertoire has made revisiting the material a revelation.

“It was a bit like reading a diary of a much younger version of myself, a less jaded and more romantic person,” he offers, though it’s worth noting that 2015’s Hey Love LP still possesses plenty of heart-thumping passion. “A lot of (the old songs) were little pieces, little things that happened. If I hadn’t written them down, they would’ve disappeared. They’re like family stories that get repeated over and over again.”

Beyond personal growth, what’s arguably most different between Everything I Long For and the rest of Hayden’s catalogue is his vocal delivery. Over the years, Hayden’s honed a hushed and sigh-worthy singing voice, but his debut full-length also mixed in gruff, throat-grumbling howls that make him sound like a cross between a whiskey-drunk Tom Waits and a black bear rudely awoken from its winter slumber.

Whether placed atop the tragi-blues strums of “Skates,” or the bashed-drum attack of “When This is Over,” the vocal aggression is jarring.

Plenty of new music on the way From page 45 Hayden wanted to play the songs as he had when he used to play solo sets “between really loud grunge bands,” but he didn’t prepare for the tour by screaming himself hoarse at home.

“I didn’t want to scare the kids,” he says, before correcting himself. “Actually, I did once.

I ran over ‘Skates’ once. My daughter laughed every time I sang loudly. She thought it was hilarious, so I stopped any kind of rehearsal. Before the first show, I was hoping that those loud sections would be OK and that I wouldn’t lose my voice. It turned out well.”

The Everything I Long For anniversary shows have had Hayden playing his old album front-to-back, a move in line with a number of other milestone tours and fest appearances from veterans of the alt-rock scene. Hayden notes that he hadn’t ever done this when the album was first released, and admits that presenting the shows like this is a little weird for him.

“I don’t generally like to do what’s currently going on – I shy away from it,” he says. “Part of me thinks it’s kind of cheesy,

and to be 100 per cent honest, sometimes I look at bands that do this kind of thing and I think they’re doing it because no one cares about their new stuff.

Those are reasons why I was on the fence about it.”

His caginess on the matter was smoothed over once he started talking to fans at shows, many whom have stuck with him for decades after first hearing that beastly baritone booming over a beautifully strummed tune.

“For a small group of people, this album meant a lot,” he concedes.

Hayden also feels good knowing that while he’s currently out promoting 20-year-old songs, there’s plenty of new music on the way too.

He’s been working on a bookand-album project with author Colin McAdam, which is apparently almost ready to wrap.

While Hayden may have initially been a bit concerned about perceptions of giving the faithful a highly concentrated dose of oldies, things aren’t really as bad as they seem.

“I know it’s a nostalgia thing, but that doesn’t have to be a bad word.”

Courting Birds, by artist Samaiyu Akesuk, from the 2015 Cape Dorset print collection. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD

Art evolving with new generation From page 21 art can never be reproduced.

Griffiths says it’s interesting to see Inuit art evolve, as the older generation passes away and up-and-coming artists take over the tradition.

“The Inuit were guided to produce prints of bears and walruses and all those things that were typically Inuit years ago,” explains Griffiths.

Today there are quite a number of artists who don’t want to be pigeonholed by only doing scenes from the North. They have just become regular artists and when you look at their work it doesn’t scream “Artic, Artic, Artic,” says Griffiths.

There’s a certain exclusivity that comes with being able to carry the Cape Dorset collection. The artist co-operative only releases 50 sets of 27 different prints created by a curated group of seven artists.

Those 50 sets are awarded to a select few galleries around the world, says Griffiths, who figures he was awarded two sets because of his positive reputation and experience in promoting Inuit art internationally.

Griffiths can officially start selling the Cape Dorset collection when it opens to the public on Saturday, Oct. 15.

ABoriginArt, which has been previewing the prints online since August, already has pre-orders.

Nine prints by Tim Pitsiulak, who attracts an avid following for his large naturalist drawings of Artic wildlife and other classic Inuitinspired imagery, have proved

to be popular already.

“Neutralizer” by Ningeokuluk Teevee, which depicts a raven with a crooked leg finding balance in a stiletto, has also been extremely popular because it’s Inuit imagery with a modern twist.

“Green Feathers” is another interesting print, points out Griffiths.

“It’s one of those pieces that in the flesh is ten times more appealing than you can get in any photograph,” says Griffiths.

Artist Kakulu Sagiatuk has an interesting take on a bird from the North that isn’t nearly as brightly coloured as she portrays in the “Green Feathers” piece.

The Inuit are drawn to bright vivid colours because their world is pretty bleak with “lots of white, lots of snow and not much on the horizon,” says Griffiths.

The interest for Inuit art is far and wide. While Griffiths has built up a large clientele in Canada and the United States, there has also been some inquiries from Europe.

“In Europe there really aren’t, and haven’t been for a long time, indigenous cultures,” explains Griffiths.

“So the Europeans’ thoughts on the Inuit living up North and the kind of lifestyle they led until recently … and how they continue to create pieces of artwork that depict the mythology of their elders is something that doesn’t exist somewhere like Germany.”

WILLIAMS, (Catherine) Danine September 29, 1960 - 2016 (Catherine) Danine Williams was promoted to higher service at Penticton Regional Hospital on her birthday, September 29, 2016 at the age of 56.

Danine is survived by her devoted husband and love of her life, Charles Williams of Penticton, and her children; Jessica Hilton-McPherson of Penticton, Marissa Hilton-McPherson (Paul) of Peachland, and Derek Hilton of Penticton, and her four grandchildren; Samara Chenier, Damian Chenier, Lachlan Chenier, and Liam Wood, her siblings; Terry Hilton (Carol) of Langley, Susan Moscrip (Gordon) of Prince George, Dan Hilton of North Vancouver, Craig Hilton (Maureen) of Squamish, Sheila Scott (Norman) of New Westminster, Faith Vint of Surrey, and Ann Upton (Wilfred) of Langley. Danine is also survived by many other family members as well as close and life-long friends. Danine was predeceased by her Grandfather and Grandmother Charlie and Flora Gowe; her Father James Franklin Hilton, beloved Mother (Catherine) Joan Hilton (aka GG or Nana), and Mother-in-law Betty Williams. She had a personality and presence that was larger than life, which gave rise to such nicknames as ‘Queen Danine’ or ‘Aunty the Great’. Danine had a passion for family, friends, travel and the wonder of nature.

She had a variety of interests, including but not limited to, gardening, social justice and equality, environmental protection, art, education and spirituality. Some of her hobbies included: travelling the World with her ever-loving husband, nurturing her breathtakingly bountiful garden, spending quality time with friends and family, especially her grand-kids, painting, reading, swimming, and of course, Scrabble. Danine had an extremely vivacious and generous spirit and a thoughtful and compassionate nature that inspired the lives of all who knew her. She was well loved for her humour, insightful advice, and never ending ability to fix things. She will be greatly missed and never forgotten as she lives on in the hearts of all who were blessed to have known her.

“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”- Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Even in death Danine was a hero and gave three people a chance at life through organ donation. A celebration of life will be held in the spring of 2017; details to be announced closer to the date.

Memorial tributes may be made to: The Nature Conservancy of Canada, Foodbanks of Canada, or the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Condolences may be sent to the family through www.providencefuneralhomes.com or 250-493-1774.

Yamaha is known for a variety of products ranging from pianos and keyboards to motorcycles and boats, but the Japanese company has never sold a car completely produced in-house. That may soon change, however, with the Sports Ride Concept car rumoured to be on the way to market, pending approval from Yamaha’s upper management. PHOTO SUPPLIED

Yamaha working on a new tune Have you ever asked the question, “what if Yamaha built a sports car?”

Behind The Wheel David Chao

It seems like an odd question for people who may know Yamaha as the motorcycle, ATV, and marine equipment builder.

And while Yamaha Motors’ main focus has always been in leisure and lifestyle products, it has made some considerable

contributions to the automotive market over the years.

In fact, Yamaha Motors has actually built engines for a number of manufacturers since the mid-1960s.

Yamaha first partnered with Toyota in 1965 on the historic 2000GT. It worked closely and most regularly with Toyota, but the company has also done business with Ford, Volvo and a number of other companies

across the globe.

After experiencing amazing success in motorcycle racing, Yamaha decided to try its hand at producing Formula One engines. It supplied motors for five different teams between 1989 and 1997, but unfortunately these vehicles never won a race.

Even though Yamaha has never had much of a public presence in the automotive

market, having never sold a car completely produced in-house, this may change in the future.

One of its newest automotive projects is a surprising entry called the Sports Ride Concept.

Yamaha is going back to its sports car roots by developing the Sports Ride Concept car, aiming to make one of the most exciting and enjoyable sports cars

ever produced – if it does get a greenlight from the management.

Yamaha first unveiled the exciting Sports Ride Concept car at the Tokyo Motor Show last year. Not much was revealed about this compact supercar at the time, especially in regard to whether it will ever see production, but it created a

Bad drivers can’t hide their lying eyes Human beings are creatures of vision.

Focusing all of your attention on the bumper of the car ahead of you is a great way to crash into the car ahead of you, writes auto columnist Brendan McAleer. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD

It’s why movies were invented before smell-o-vision, why we need to catch the waiter’s eye instead of just yelling at him, why the way we look often informs a first impression. There are good sides and bad sides to relying on our eyes so much, and where driving is concerned, I’m afraid it’s very much the latter.

Let’s wind the clock back to last Tuesday, where you will find me on the westbound Capilano Road onramp, throttling the driver of an SUV to death. Well, not really – but in my mind’s eye, I certainly was.

Here’s the issue: once again, I’d come to a halt at the apex

Grinding Gears Brendan McAleer of the curve because there were two cars stopped ahead at the very point of where the onramp touches the highway.

I’d left a gap in order to get safely up to highway speed when the way was clear. The driver of the SUV decided to go around me on the right.

Now, the Capilano onramp is stupidly dangerous, and I think we can all agree it should be re-engineered in some way. I’ve written about it before, and heard from many drivers who completely hate it.

Secondly, I think we can also all agree that courtesy died on the road a long time ago, crushed to death beneath the wheels of our two-tonne metal behemoths. On the pavement, on foot, we’re relatively nice to each other.

Strap into an SUV and we apparently feel an instant urge to drive like jerks.

For the moment, let’s briefly discount these two factors. The problem here wasn’t primarily that the SUV driver was flummoxed by the badness of the onramp’s design, nor that he was a selfentitled blankety-blank, it’s that he wasn’t using his vision properly. In other words, he was looking at me, instead of looking at where he was going.

This state of affairs is altogether too common on the road, and is the cause of traffic jams, accidents, near-misses, and pretty much every bad thing about wheeled transport. It’s the first thing you learn at any racing school. Never mind cornering speeds, never mind mastering weight transfer – the first thing you need to learn is how to see properly.

So let’s come back to our curving onramp. I’m third in the line of cars coming around towards the highway, so where am I looking? For the brake lights of the car in front of me? Nope – I couldn’t even tell you what marque it is. I can see that car, but I’m not looking directly at it. Instead, I’m looking ahead of both cars I’m following to see whether there’s an obstacle in the road. Because I can’t see that the way is absolutely clear, I’m also slowing in preparation.

On a track, focusing on the bumper of the car ahead of you is called target-fixation,

and it almost always results in a collision. Instructors will tell you to look first and let your hands follow; you look for the corner’s apex, look for its exit, look as far down the track as you possibly can. Forget about the car you’re following, just keep it in your peripheral vision.

Even if you’re not driving a car at anything like its limit, keeping your eyes up and looking down the road is simply the safest way to drive.

You can anticipate road hazards, and even dodge a traffic jam or two if you see things beginning to slow far ahead.

Let’s move from ordinary driving to an emergency situation. You’re driving down a narrow country road when a deer leaps out in front of you. The thing to do is brake as hard and fast as you can, but where should you be looking? Answer: anywhere but at the deer. When people look at things, they tend to hit them, and looking at a fast-approaching object is simply too much information for your brain to handle. If you look further ahead, your brain won’t go into panic mode, and you’ll be able to avoid the urge to swerve wildly or make other bad decisions.

The other part of managing your vision is thinking about how others see. Most modern cars have large blindspots, thanks to safety regulations mandating thick pillars, and styling attempts often making things worse. In your own car, you can combat the rearward blindspots by setting your side mirrors just beyond where you can see the sides of your car.

But assume that the driver you’re passing hasn’t got their mirrors set properly, and can’t see you. This is something most skilled motorcyclists think about, as they’re so vulnerable; riding along in the blindspot of a car is a good way to get yourself killed. As for cars, just because you’ve got more metal around you than a biker doesn’t mean it’s a good idea for you to hang out in the danger zone.

Back at the ramp, I moved my car over to the right a little to block the dangerously impatient SUV, waited a pause or two until traffic provided a safe gap, then zipped up to speed and merged safely. I glanced in my mirror to see him drive to the end of the ramp and then brake to a stop because he hadn’t been watching traffic flow.

I didn’t see him again after that, but then again, I was looking ahead.

STANDARD ALL WHEEL DRIVE. EQUIPPED FOR LIFE’S AUTHENTIC ADVENTURES. The Sports Ride Concept, about the size of a Mazda Miata, is designed to transfer the feeling of riding a motorcycle into a four-wheeled sports car. PHOTOS SUPPLIED

lot of publicity and excitement. I was there to witness this debut and felt that I had to find out more about this sports-oriented brand.

Thanks to the open-mindedness of Yamaha, I was able to tour Yamaha’s state-ofthe-art production facility in Japan several times. Despite building niche products such as motorcycles and snowmobiles at these factories, Yamaha has incorporated a wide range of world-class manufacturing techniques that are second to none in the transportation industry. In particular, Yamaha’s focus on people development and process management allowed them to implement advanced levels of process improvement methods (often called kaizen in Japanese).

It was obvious that these flexible, “lean” manufacturing techniques would allow Yamaha to easily change its product line and introduce new models with ease. This could then be the basis for achieving “stretch” targets such as creating and building something like the

lightweight, high-rigidity vehicle structures by bonding composite panels to a tubular frame. It can be adapted for this rear-wheel drive sports car, to a frontwheel drive compact, and even a longer wheelbase SUV. Borrowing from its motorcycle experience, Yamaha used its “Elementalism” design philosophy on the Sports Ride Concept. This is where each part is complete on it own, yet fits in harmoniously with the overall design.

This is apparent when you consider that the cabin, front and rear cowls are separate, similar to the tank and cowl of a sport bike.

Also, the headlights are reminiscent of the YZF-R1 motorcycle, as are the high, central-exit mufflers at the rear.

Unfortunately, Yamaha didn’t give any details regarding what will power the Sports Ride. One could imagine, however, a small turbo engine, or maybe a reworked version of one of its motorcycle mills.

Knowing better than anyone else the close relationship between a rider and a motorcycle – and what creates that bond – Yamaha went to great lengths to achieve an exhilarating driving sensation in the Sports Ride.

The Sports Ride’s advanced construction allowed the designers a lot of freedom to be creative with materials. Transparent panels were used in the roof, doors, and in the floor to bring the outside world closer.

Furthering the Sports Ride’s motorcycle-like experience, Yamaha gave the driver’s area a symmetrical design. The entire interior is unique and leather upholstery contrasts with the carbon fibre and metal components.

Inspired by Yamaha musical instruments, the built-in speaker case behind the driver’s head is made from wood and features the same sunburst finish used on guitars.

Yamaha’s press information concludes with this sentiment: “We hope you look forward to the day when you can get behind this wheel.” We couldn’t agree more … we are eagerly waiting for Yamaha to bring it to production someday. editor@automotivepress.com

Survey: parents a safety threat in school zones A recently conducted BCAA school zone safety survey revealed that parents have major concerns about one particular aspect of their child’s daily trip to school: other parents.

Speeding, ignoring road signs, and hostility were just a few driving behaviours that parents reported seeing every day. The problem is bad and getting worse, according to 48 per cent of respondents to the survey conducted by Insights West for BCAA, made up of parents and guardians of elementary school aged children, along with principals and faculty from schools across B.C. The vast majority (68 per cent) expressed deep concern for the safety of their kids.

“It’s the Wild West in school zones during drop-off and pick-up times,” BCAA’s Shawn Pettipas stated in a release. “School zones can be frantic places with not everyone on their best driving behaviour. We commissioned the survey to see the extent of the problem, but the results were more concerning than even we expected.”

Results include: 4 %) :,9 ?,K5 7CJ 5&,JL2, seen ‘near misses,’ when a child is almost struck by a car.

4 #- :,9 ?,K5 &C2, 1$5K,77,= parents/guardians speeding in school zones.

The survey comments were rife with details about kids being dropped off outside of designated areas and running into oncoming traffic, kids darting out from in between cars and school buses and parents talking on cell phones and otherwise distracted. The assumption by both parents and school staff is that parents are rushed and running late,

with congestion in the school zone as another factor.

Many survey participants noted that they would like to see all drivers near schools reduce their speed, change their driving attitude and follow the school rules.

“We understand that parents and guardians are busy and the survey wasn’t intended to focus on anyone in particular,” stated Pettipas. “We appreciate the honesty of parents, guardians and school staff who participated. At least a problem has been highlighted, which means we all can start working on solutions starting with better driving behaviour by all drivers and safer choices by parents and guardians when it comes to dropping off and picking up their child.”

The posted speed limit $K 7?&<<N I<K,7 1&$?& $7 -B kilometres per hour in most communities.
