Summer CounterAttack program starts Jeremy Shepherd jshepherd@nsnews.com

THE grill may be sizzling and the sun may be shining this long weekend, but police, ICBC and BCAA want to remind drivers their car keys better not be jingling if they’ve been drinking.

“There are statistics that show the accident rate increases over long weekends,” said West Vancouver police spokesman Cpl. Jag Johal.

Drivers should be especially careful on highways or in neighbourhoods with a lot of pedestrians, according to Johal, who called on all motorists to refrain from drinking and driving.

On average, approximately 122 British Columbians are killed annually as the result of drunk driving collisions, based on the B.C. Coroner’s Report from 1999 to 2008.

The death toll, which tends to rise in the summer months, represents more than 25 per cent of all fatal motor vehicle collisions.

Summer long weekends usually mean more drivers who have been drinking and taking drugs, but BCAA road safety foundation president Allan Lamb is hoping that trend doesn’t hold up during the Canada Day long weekend.

“Police reported only two driving-related deaths (over the May long weekend) and we hope to see a zero death rate over the July 1st long weekend,” he stated in a press release.

Henry sues for wrongful conviction Benjamin Alldritt balldritt@nsnews.com

LYNN Valley resident Ivan Henry is heading to court seeking compensation for the 26 years he spent in prison following a wrongful conviction.

Henry, 64, filed a notice of claim in B.C. Supreme Court on Tuesday. He named the federal and provincial attorneys general, the City of Vancouver and a trio of former Vancouver police officers as defendants.

Henry was convicted in 1983 of three counts of rape, two counts of attempted rape and five counts of indecent assault. He always protested his innocence. More than 20 years later, the Vancouver

Lynn Valley resident seeks compensation for 26 years in jail

police began to re-investigate several unsolved sexual assaults from the 1980s and eventually convicted a man whose name is subject to a publication ban but is identified as “D.M.” That man served five years in jail.

Noticing parallels between their cases and the ones Henry was convicted of, police investigators passed their findings to the provincial attorney general. Henry was freed in 2009 pending a new appeal and the B.C. Court of Appeal acquitted him of all charges in October of last year.

In their notice of claim, Henry’s lawyers point to a series of incidents they claim stacked the legal deck against him. After his initial arrest, Henry was put in an identification lineup with six police officers, all of whom were noticeably taller than Henry and none of whom had red hair. Henry refused to participate, and was being forcibly restrained by a officers while the victim made her selection.

According to the claim, another victim was shown a photo lineup in which Henry was clearly older than the other men, and the only one photographed in front of a jail cell.

Henry opted to represent himself at his trial, and asked to see the evidence against him beforehand.

WV teen wins A&E essay prize Bilodeau gold medal hug of his brother inspires Sentinel student

James Weldon jweldon@nsnews.com

Benjamin Alldritt balldritt@nsnews.com

AN unknown number of customers of Park Royal’s Osaka Supermarket may have had their personal information stolen after hackers struck the store’s parent website.

YOU could argue that all Canadians were made richer when freestyle skier Alexandre Bilodeau nailed his run at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, becoming the first Canuck to win a gold medal at home.

But for Sentinel secondary student Katherine Keyes, Bilodeau’s win translated into more than just pride — it was the inspiration for a $3,000-prize-winning essay.

Keyes’ entry in the A&E Lives That Make a Difference Essay Contest was named the winner in the grades 9 to 12 category this month.

“I was in Vancouver for the Olympics, downtown at the LiveCity Yaletown location when he won his gold medal on the big screen,” Keyes said. “It was amazing. The whole place erupted and there was so much happiness in the place. How can you forget that?”

Memorable as the moment was, it was what happened next that held Keyes’ imagination.

“Seconds after crossing that red line,” she wrote, “and realizing that he had just gone down in Canadian history, Bilodeau ran past hordes of reporters and fans to hug his brother.”

Bilodeau’s brother Frederic lives with cerebral palsy, and Alexandre didn’t miss any opportunities to sing his brother’s praises as the nation watched.

“Bilodeau made enormous sacrifices for his brother, but not once did he consider them sacrifices,” Keyes wrote. “With this selflessness, he extended his compassion for his brother to all those with disabilities.

Bilodeau did not revel in the limelight, or put himself on top of the world — a position that was extended to him. Instead, he used his instantaneous popularity to support a cause that had been the root of his inspiration and the motivation for his accomplishments. He donated $25,000 to cerebral palsy research, knowing that neither he nor his brother would live to see the change the donation would make; but trusting it would come.”

Keyes credits her English teacher Helen Eng with encouraging her to enter the essay competition, and her win nets Eng $1,000 to spend for the class. As for Keyes’ own prize money: “I’m heading to France this summer so I’ll take $300 or so out to use there, but the rest is going towards my school fund. I figure I won it at school, I’ll put it towards school,” she said.

of all the police reports and notes relating to the plaintiff’s criminal charges,” reads the notice of claim, “he did not disclose any victim statements, police reports or forensic reports to the plaintiff or his counsel before the commencement of the trial.”

While the Crown eventually released 11 statements to Henry, they withheld another 30 that may have undermined the prosecution’s case, says the claim.

The claim also alleges that police officers found semen at the scene of four of the sexual assaults, and that forensic tests were available that would have excluded Henry as a suspect. None of this information, say Henry’s lawyers, was shared with Henry. The claim also alleges both the police and the crown were aware of D.M.’s possible involvement as early as 1982, again without passing this information to the defence.

Henry was convicted, declared a dangerous offender, and given an indefinite prison sentence, despite a psychiatrist’s report during sentencing

Profiles hacked from Osaka website

that said Henry had mental health disorders that should have made him unfit to stand trial.

Over the following 22 years Henry would file more than 50 applications for review or appeal, all without success.

Both during Henry’s trial and after he was imprisoned, sexual assaults continued to occur with a modus operandi similar to the ones Henry was convicted of and in the same West Side neighbourhood. This information did not find its way to Henry either, and his lawyers also allege the police failed to investigate a possible connection between the assaults.

The conduct of the police and the Crown, the claim alleges, “was high-handed, outrageous, reckless, entirely without care, intentional, deliberate, in disregard of the plaintiff’s rights, indifferent to the consequences, and exploited the plaintiff’s vulnerability.”

None of Henry’s claims have been proven in court and no statement of defence has yet been filed.

TD Canada Trust has pledged $250,000 towards the building of a new mental health centre at Lions Gate Hospital.

The donation is the second major private gift to the $62million facility, coming after a $10-million donation from West Vancouver philanthropists the Ho family.

The Greta and Robert H.N. Ho Psychiatric and Education Centre, or HOpe Centre, will replace the dilapidated 1929 Activation building, where patients have complained of cramped, foul-smelling rooms, often with 15 people sharing a single toilet.

The new 150,000-square-foot, four-storey facility will be located on Lions Gate Hospital grounds near 13th Street and St. Andrews Avenue, and provide psychiatric care as well as an expansion of the UBC Medical School.

The provincial government has pledged $38 million towards the new building, but Lions Gate Hospital intends to raise the remaining $25 million through private donations.

T&T Supermarket Inc., the company that owns the popular Asian food vendor, announced June 24 that someone had lifted names, addresses and other data belonging to as many as 58,000 customers in an attack that lasted several days earlier in the month. The website has been taken offline temporarily, and the chain is contacting each of the individuals affected to warn them about the breach.

“T sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience or concern this situation has caused,” the company said in a release. “T will be taking steps to enhance security and strengthen network infrastructure . . . to provide greater protection.”

The attack unfolded June 6, 7 and 11 when someone inserted code into T&T Supermarket’s online store that redirected users — including purchasers and job applicants — to a second, false site and prompted them to click a button on screen. Clicking it caused malware to be downloaded onto the user’s computer, which in turn recorded their personal information and sent it back to the intruder.

Stolen data may have included the customer’s first and last name, username, password, age, gender, email address, street address and phone number, according to the company.

Some other information, however — including credit card numbers, date of birth and social insurance number — could not have been lost this way, it said.

A similar attack targeting suppliers may have taken place between June 14 and 17, said the company.

Anyone who visited the site on the dates in question should run “reputable” antivirus and anti-spyware utilities on their computer to remove any malicious software. They should also stay on the alert for scammers who may use the stolen information to contact victims and solicit more sensitive data such as credit card numbers.

T&T Supermarket also recommends customers who use the same username or password to access other sites change those as well.

In the meantime, the company has hired security experts to shore up the site’s defences in an effort to prevent similar attacks in the future. It expects to relaunch it in the near future.

No compensation figure set From page 3

In addition to claiming damages for himself, Henry is seeking compensation for his two daughters, who were young children when he was imprisoned. Neither Henry, his family or lawyers are willing to comment on a dollar figure at this point.

In 1999, the Saskatchewan government awarded $10 million to David Milgaard for the 22 years he was imprisoned for a 1969 murder and sexual assault. A Manitoba government review in 2001 recommended Thomas Sophonow be paid $2.6 million in compensation for the four years he lived behind bars for a 1981 murder. In 2006, the Quebec government paid Simon Marshall $2.3 million after he was cleared of several sexual assaults. Marshall spent six years in prison. In 2008, the Ontario government agreed to pay Steven Truscott $6.5 million in compensation.

Truscott was given the death sentence in 1959 before being paroled in 1969 and acquitted in 2007.

B.C.’s drunk penalties severe From page 1 responsibly and provide transportation alternatives.

Under British Columbia’s drinking and driving laws, which are the most stringent in Canada, a driver with a blood alcohol level over 0.05 and under 0.08 can receive a three-day driving ban, $200 in fines and have their car towed and impounded for three days at the driver’s cost. The law also enforces stiffer sentences for drivers caught with a blood alcohol level at or above 0.08.

A North Shore man has been sentenced to drug and alcohol treatment after taking out his anger on his girlfriend’s cat, Rascal.

Kyle Joe, originally from Vancouver Island, pled guilty earlier this year to charges of assault and causing unnecessary suffering to an animal, stemming from a fight over a pair of iPod headphones he had with his girlfriend on April 27. At the time, Joe pushed his girlfriend onto their bed and then said he would skin the cat alive

if she didn’t hand over the headphones. He then picked up and punched Rascal twice, one of the blows sending the cat careening through the air, according to the agreed upon statement of facts.

The cat was injured and initially walked with a limp afterwards, but has since recovered. His girlfriend was upset but uninjured.

Joe, who appeared highly emotional and contrite during the sentencing on June 23, was sentenced to probation after serving 56 days in jail without bail. He’s also not allowed contact with his now ex-girlfriend or her family.

“You’re still a very young man,” said Judge Joanne Challenger, in encouraging him to seek help, noting that the actions he was sentenced for stemmed directly from his substance abuse.

A6 - North Shore News - Friday, July 1, 2011

VIEWPOINT Published by North Shore News a division of Postmedia Network Inc., 100-126 East 15th Street, North Vancouver, B.C. V7L 2P9. Doug Foot, publisher. Canadian publications mail sales product agreement No. 40010186.

Questionable choice I

T’S unfortunate that the review of the June 15 rioting in Vancouver will have to take place during the wind-up for November’s municipal elections.

The results will, inevitably, become a political football. Broken glass still littered the streets as Coun. Suzanne Anton, the NPA’s mayoral hopeful, started selling “Robertson’s Riot” to anyone within earshot. It’s unfortunate because, as a region, we really do need to figure out what went wrong and how we can hold large outdoor events safely in the future.

With the issue already overly politicized, it’s a bad move to name John Furlong as co-chair of the review.

This isn’t a knock on the former VANOC chief himself. He did as good a job last year as anyone could have asked

for — and that’s part of the problem.

In asking him to pass judgement on a failed event that so closely parallels his own successful version, the province is inviting criticism that his verdict is tainted with a certain amount of selfcongratulation.

His partner, former Nova Scotia deputy attorney general Doug Keefe, is an ideal choice. He has the right background in government and law, coupled with a lack of any vested interest in the review’s results.

The ad hoc manner in which Furlong was selected — a chance meeting with Premier Christy Clark during Betty Fox’s funeral — adds to the sense that the province didn’t really think this through.He’swellknown;he’savailable; he got the job. If those were the criteria, why not call Gordon Campbell?

Lonsdale will be a canyon

Dear Editor: At the June 20 City of North Vancouver council meeting, two groups with different world views collided. The first, an owner/ developer’s hired guns and a large, predominantly PersianCanadian crowd, talked of jobs, money, the need to address the city’s anticipated future economic and population growth and convenient parking — in a word “progress.” The second, myself and my fellow owners of The Dogwood, the condominium directly behind Yaas Bazaar at 19th Street and Lonsdale Avenue, talked of the city’s diminishing quality of life and sustainability.

The results were predictable. A developer-friendly city council followed the money and voted 5-2 to allow a five-story building with three levels of underground parking to replace the present

single-story Yaas Bazaar building. Despite distributing flyers around the neighbourhood that explained the project, Dogwood owners were almost the only people who cared enough to attend the project’s public hearing to voice their concerns about “progress.”

They say that in a democracy, people generally get the government they deserve. So, fellow citizens, as you watch the new Yaas Bazaar building rise and the planet’s demise, pause for a moment to remember those of us who tried in a small way to stop “progress” and who will now be the first to cower in the shadow of soon-to-be Central Lonsdale Canyon.

Our own little Monaco in West Van

Dear Editor: After reading Rick Amantea’s coy letter of June 17 which skirted any details on the proposed towers at Park Royal, I was certain of one salient feature: they will be huge. Huge and very profitable for Park Royal and Squamish First Nation.

This, together with the eventual development of Evelyn Drive, will further impact the congestion at Taylor Way and Marine Drive and the cholesterol corner of the artery we laughably call Highway 99.

Park Royal’s interest is in parked cars; preferably in their parking lot but probably idling away on the street waiting for the lights to change and a chance to inch forward. With the addition of a few thousand more households in the immediate

CONTACT US

area, does Park Royal hope that motorists will just give up and go shopping instead?

We live in a country covering three million square miles and yet developers seem to think this is Monaco. They will shoehorn one development cheek-by-jowl with the next one just to create the kind of black hole density necessary for maximum profit.

One would think that 50 years was long enough to solve the puzzle of Taylor Way and Marine Drive, to have a conduit which smoothly connected the Vancouver downtown with Highway 1.

This is certainly not in the shopping centre’s interest. From their point of view: the more congested, the merrier.

Graeme Foster North Vancouver

Buying in B.C. can cost taxpayers more Dear Editor: I read with astonishment the letter from Ron Espin in the North Shore News of June 17, Build B.C.’s Ferries Here Too, in which he chastises Premier Christy Clark for awarding ferry building contracts to German shipyards. Mr. Wespin advocates awarding the contracts to B.C. companies to protect jobs, in spite of the short memory he must have of the Fast Ferries fiasco which cost this province hundreds of millions of dollars.

The whole concept of awarding contracts locally to protect jobs is a total misnomer; if we want to make goods in B.C., then they have to be both good and competitively priced. Canadians have to get the idea out of their head that buying from another country costs us jobs here in Canada. It is far better to buy goods from countries that make them better and cheaper, than buy poor quality or uncompetitive goods made locally — since this is hardly the best way to spend our somewhat precious tax dollars.

British Columbia will do better trading what B.C. does best, of which there are many options.

One of the biggest problems we have to surmount in order to have a trade deal with the European Union — thus reducing our dependency on Uncle Sam to buy our stuff — is the head-in-thesand mentality that provinces should choose local suppliers.

This attitude lacks all common sense. You don’t protect jobs by trying to produce something you cannot do as well as someone else, nor by wasting vast amounts of taxpayer money effectively subsidizing poor output.

The premier should focus on getting the best deal for British Columbians’ tax dollars, should she not?

War clouds loom on the B.C. labour front

THE years of labour peace this province has known for almost a decade may be about to end.

There are early warning signs on a number of fronts that suggest the provincial government is on a collision course with some key sectors, notably education and health.

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation has completed a strike vote that will result in teachers withdrawing from administrative duties starting in the fall. That will eventually ramp up to more serious job action, with an outright school strike looming for the spring.

The chances for a negotiated contract, while never good, look very bleak right now. The government will not offer any salary increase, and the teachers’ union claims the employer is seeking to exact all kinds of concessions.

According to the BCTF, the employer wants to eliminate seniority provisions and allow forced transfers. As well, the employer wants yearly evaluations of every teacher and the ability to fire a teacher based on a single evaluation.

There is no sign the government is interested in doing anything to address the teachers’ top concern: classroom conditions, which include the size and classroom make-up.

Put it all together and it’s easy to see where this is headed.

View from the Ledge Keith Baldrey

Of course, a strike will be shortlived as the government will — again — impose a legislated contract after just a few days of schools being behind a picket line.

The government must also be bracing for a confrontation with its own workforce. The B.C. Government and Service Employees Union has made it clear it will not accept a continuing wage freeze.

The union’s contract expires in the fall, and if the government sticks to its position that there is simply no money for wage increases for public sector employees, some kind of job action seems likely.

In fact, an outright strike seems possible. The BCGEU has, in the past, been able to carefully negotiate contracts that have protected its membership at a time when the government was engaged in serious downsizing and privatization. However, the union’s patience in waiting for a

wage increase seems at an end.

But the most challenging labour situation facing the government is with B.C.’s doctors. Both sides are negotiating to renew the Physician Master Agreement, and already the government has tabled almost 12 concessions it is seeking from the B.C. Medical Association.

“Their proposals came as an unpleasant surprise and signalled a very different approach by the new government than we had experienced with the previous administration,” BCMA president Dr. Ian Gillespie wrote in a letter to his members, some 10,000 doctors, earlier this month.

Gillespie calls the government’s proposals “draconian” and “unacceptable” and is worried about a confrontation in the months ahead.

The government appears to

be trying to wrest more control from the doctors, as it seeks to eliminate or downgrade committees or programs that give physicians a degree of input or control.

It also is trying to eliminate payments in some areas.

This is all bad news, and doesn’t fit with Premier Christy Clark’s “families first” agenda.

Relations between doctors and the government have been smooth for almost a decade, a near-miracle considering the previous three decades of acrimony between the BCMA and Victoria.

Why rock the boat now?

Many of the programs and committees negotiated with the BCMA in the expiring master agreement are still working very well. How will jabbing a stick in the BCMA’s eye improve the health-care system, particularly since it may lead to a return to the bad old days, which saw doctors close their offices

and clinics in protest over government measures?

Clark may not realize how hard it can be to negotiate with the BCMA. It is not like dealing with a regular union — like the BCTF or BCGEU. Instead, it is akin to cutting a deal with several thousand self-employed business people, who act in concert when it suits them but who can quickly pursue individual agendas if they think that course of action is called for.

Frustrating, maddening,

aggravating, all are terms used by health ministers in the past when it came to BCMA negotiations. It will be hard for the government to win this fight, and I see no evidence for the need to even pick one.

So get ready for some labour showdowns in the months ahead.

Prediction: the government will impose a teachers’ contract, reach a compromise with the BCGEU, but will lose a fight with the doctors.

Park Royal bus lane dangerous

Dear Editor: The headline on your June 22 story New Bus Lanes Aid Commute should have read New Park Royal Bus Lane a Joke.

It’s beyond reason why the dedicated bus lane starts at Pound Road rather than further east at the McDonald’s restaurant.

Three eastbound entries to Park Royal require motorists to cross over the bus lane, creating confusion and potential accidents.

I’m all for giving improved access to public transit, but it’s time for some common sense to apply.

Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) is now at Deep Cove Canoe & Kayak Centre & Deep Cove Outdoors SUP is a ton of fun and EASY. If you can stand up then you can Stand Up Paddle.

The SUP boards are overgrown surfboards that provide better stability and tracking and you use a long paddle to propel the board across the water. But “Why stand up?” you ask. First and foremost, because it’s FUN. Secondly its great exercise and you can make it a great core workout. Thirdly it’s a great way to explore the ocean environment.

Because you are standing, you can see into the water better than you can from the seated position of a kayak or canoe. “I could never do that” you say. Well lots of people do say that and are pleasantly surprised to find out how easy it is.

How do you get started? You can take a lesson. Deep Cove Canoe & Kayak Centre has a group of highly trained SUP instructors. Mike Darbyshire our head SUP and Kayak instructor wrote the teaching curriculum for Paddle Canada! We have a variety of lessons from a Basic Intro to Paddle Fit to Learn to Race. Learn to SUP is $60 for a 1.5 hr lesson + 30 minutes of playtime after the lesson. If you are a do-it-yourself type of person, you can rent a board at Deep Cove Canoe and Kayak Centre, no experience necessary. They are very popular so it is advisable to make a reservation. It’s easy for a group of friends to rent a bunch of boards and head out for a day’s adventure on Indian Arm and check out a variety of islands located nearby.

Do you have a competitive side? Try our Tuesday Night Paddlesport Race where the number of SUP paddlers is increasing each week. Don’t be intimidated about racing, it’s all for fun and the atmosphere is friendly and casual. It takes place every Tuesday evening all summer long. Race Fee, only $3 or try our Learn to Race Clinic, $30 includes, SUP rental fee, a 30 minute SUP Intro Race course, and your Tuesday Night Paddlesport Race entry fee.

INQUIRING REPORTER IN 2005 California passed a law that would prevent children under 18 from purchasing or renting violent video games. The law never came into effect due to court challenges by the video game industry.

The U.S. Supreme Court has now upheld rulings by lower courts that the California law violated the U.S. First Amendment.

The law was considered an infringement on the right to freedom of expression. Video games are now protected in the same manner that books and movies are. Find us on Facebook and tell us what you think or add your comment to Inquiring Reporter at www.nsnews. com.

— Drake Fenton

Sarah Cripps North Vancouver I agree. I think if the parents think it’s OK and the kids are pretty normal kids and have a good head on their shoulders, it’s OK. But some kids do take it too far.

Marco Germer Germany I agree because if you are old enough you should be allowed to play those games, you don’t need to be 18.

Would you ban violent video games to those under 18?

Carlo Cortez North Vancouver I agree because kids should be able to have fun, its not only for the older kids. Just because kids are young doesn’t mean they can’t play violent games, they’re old enough for it.

Tony Mandzuk North Vancouver It’s too bad the law didn’t pass because it’s an influence on children and I think it should be banned.

Marius Soska North Vancouver It’s fine. The problem is if the kids don’t get it in the games then they will be able to see it on TV every night.

DNV plans change to permit inspections DISTRICT of North Vancouver staff hope a new construction bylaw will streamline their building permit system and cut down on the number of inspections staff have to make.

Councillors got their first look at the proposed new bylaw, which would combine the current electrical, gas and building bylaws into one, during a Monday night council workshop.

The new bylaw seeks to combine the different permitting and inspection regimes for each bylaw into one process, allowing inspectors to make fewer visits, said development services manager Brett Dwyer. That does mean more of the burden will fall onto professionals working in the companies, he admitted.

Instead, inspectors will now focus more on district-specific bylaws that aren’t necessarily part of the building code, but

which developers often don’t know about, such as the tree bylaws, said Dwyer.

“Most builders know the building code quite well,” he said.

“I definitely think this is the right direction to go,” said Coun.

Mike Little, pointing to Richmond as having similar policies.

“We’re not pioneering here. They’ve already done this.”

Still, some concerns were raised about professionals in the field carrying more of the workload, especially by Coun. Alan Nixon, who said the public treat building inspections as a sort of guarantee that a home is safe.

That’s not their job, said Dwyer, and already can’t be done for every aspect of the building code.

The new bylaw is expected to come to council sometime in the fall.

Why they invented kennels

IN a recent conversation with dog-owning friends of mine, it was suggested to me that, as a man living alone in the city, it might be a good idea to get a canine companion of my own.

I explained to them in polite terms that, while I respected their decision to own a dog because, like all dog owners, they’re a little bit out of their minds, the idea wasn’t one that appealed to me.

There are various reasons for this, but basically they all come down to the fact that, once you look past the fur and the waggy tail and the disarming doggy eyes, dogs are, in essence, the world’s worst roommates.

Imagine for a minute that you were renting a room, and a dog was among the applicants. Let’s explore this idea in edifying dialogue format: Illustrative doglike apartment applicant: “Hello. I’m here to see the apartment.”

Normal-person-like subletter: “Hello. You seem harmless despite not wearing clothes. Come on in. Have a look around.”

Applicant: “This looks comfortable and it smells interesting. I want to stay here for free for the rest of my life.

Are those cookies? Give me all of them now! Your hands smell

No Laughing Matter James Weldon

like tuna.”

Subletter: “I’m sorry, did you say you want to stay here for free?”

Applicant: “That’s right.

You’ll be in charge of paying rent and utilities and buying all my food, and I will eat that in addition to any of your food that you don’t watch constantly for the next 15 years or so. If that seems fair.”

Subletter: “Man, I don’t know if you read the ad, but I’m looking to split rent. . . .”

Applicant: “Yeah, I don’t read. And I’d get a job, but my brain is the size of a golf ball. I also don’t have thumbs, and I don’t understand words that aren’t my name, which is a handicap in the job market.”

Subletter: “You don’t understand what I’m saying right now?”

Applicant: “Not really, no.

When you move your mouth it just looks like chewing. I should also mention I don’t cook; I don’t clean except

for dishes — and only if I like what’s stuck to them — vacuums make me panic; I habitually eat shoes; I make everything smell a little bit like a hockey bag crossed with a goat; I can’t be left alone with a cat; and if there’s any movement of any kind near the house I start screaming uncontrollably. Also, weirdly, I don’t have sweat glands and I can only see red. Can I eat this pizza box?”

Subletter: “Um. Right. Look, I’m going to be honest here. I don’t really see the percentage in this for me.”

Applicant: “The percentage is I’m friendly! I’m also big into crotches. I’m going to sniff at yours right now, if that’s cool.”

Subletter: “What? Stop that!”

Applicant: “Have you been doing lunges?”

Subletter: “Dude. Seriously.

Look, this is clearly not going to work out. I think maybe we should just wrap this up.”

Applicant: “Don’t be like that. Look, I know it sounds like a hassle, but I’m actually super-low maintenance. Most of my meals are horse parts and sawdust, so they’re pretty cheap. I won’t use your stuff unless you’re not there and— Holy crap! Did you hear that?

There’s someone out there! I hate them! I hate them! I hate them! I hate them! I— Wait.

My mistake. Where was I? Oh, right. And I don’t ever use the bathroom.”

Subletter: “You don’t use the bathroom?”

Applicant: “I defecate outside.”

Subletter: “You defecate outside?”

Applicant: “That’s right. You have to pick it up with your hands.”

Subletter: “What?”

Applicant: “If you don’t, I might eat it.”

Subletter: “That’s disgusting!”

Applicant: “I want to lick your face a bit.”

Subletter: “Are you crazy?

What are you doing?”

Applicant: “I’m sorry. Do you want me to lick your face again?”

Subletter: “No! Get out!”

Applicant: “Oh my god! Are we going to walk somewhere?”

Subletter: “No. I’m throwing you out of my house!”

Applicant: “OK. I don’t know how the door works.”

Subletter: “For crying out loud. Here.”

Applicant: “Thanks. So, do I get the place?”

Subletter: “I’ll call you and let you know.”

Applicant: “Great. I can’t answer the phone, but I can yell at it till it stops ringing.”

Subletter: “That’ll work just fine.”

Applicant: “Holy crap! A car!

I hate it! I hate it! I hate it!

See ya.”

Subletter: “Wow. Well, at least it can’t get worse than that.

OK, who’s next? Hi, are you here to see the room?”

Cat: “Feed me and then screw off.” jweldon@nsnews.com

Jazz at the Plaza

■ Karen Graves Group, North Vancouver City Civic Plaza, Saturday, July 2, 1 p.m. as part of this year’s TD Vancouver Inernational Jazz Festival.

Tessa Holloway tholloway@nsnews.com

PLAYING in the same Nanaimo high school jazz band as Diana Krall and Phil Dwyer, you might think it’s not surprising that Karen Graves developed a love of music and talent that’s infectious on stage.

But as she tells the story, it was a different sort of love that first steered her towards picking up the saxophone and playing jazz after first learning the flute in Grade 6, not the future greats or even the teachers who she shared the class with.

“I picked the saxophone up out of love, because there was this guy that I liked in stage band and there was no flute in stage band, so that’s why. That’s why I’m a sax player,” she says, reflecting on how that decision directed her life down a completely different path.

“Music and love go very well together.”

Then, as well as now, she does most of her talking with her saxophone on stage, See Graves page 14

MUSIC

Rihanna loud and kinky at Rogers BEING THERE

■ Rihanna, Rogers Arena, June 24.

Manisha Krishnan mkrishnan@nsnews.com

Graves also playing gig at Whytecliff Park July 8 From page 11

I’VE always regretted not seeing Britney Spears in her prime.

It’s not so much because I’m a big fan of her music as it is that I know she put on an amazing show, a spectacle for all in attendance.

But after seeing Rihanna on her Loud tour last Friday night at Rogers Arena, I’m feeling a little better, because whatever Britney did, I’m pretty sure Rihanna did too — in high definition.

The show started when four video screens shaped like trashcan lids were lowered to the ground, cutting through various sexy images of the 23-year-old Barbadian singer all the while.

Then, she emerged. Dressed in a short, electric-blue trench coat and bright pink booties with neon heels, the R&B princess opened with “Only Girl (in the World)” and for the next two hours it seemed like she was.

The coat soon slipped off revealing what was essentially a multi-coloured sequined bikini as Rihanna belted her way into “Disturbia” and then “Shut Up and Drive.”

Eight dancers all sporting highlighter-hued outfits surrounded the star for most of the night, in what turned out to be a very kinky show. I’m talking air humping, stripping, chains — at one point, the red-headed beauty asked “Hey Vancouver, who wants to come up here and get freaky with me?”

Thousands of girls and hundreds of guys in the crowd screamed deafeningly in response.

At the risk of sounding a lot older than the 24-year-old that I am, I caught myself wondering several times if this was actually an all-ages show.

On that note, one of the more interesting numbers of the night was “So Hard,” to which the troupe of dancers had perfected a full-on military dance routine while Rihanna sang from atop a tank. Flat-screen visuals altered between an animated war and clips from the “So Hard” music video where Rihanna is shooting a machine gun.

Apparently the girl can also drum, and she went at it hard for a couple of moments before licking one of the drumsticks and throwing it into the crowd.

Oh yeah — I guess I should mention the singing. I’m not an expert, but I’m fairly certain that Rihanna was not lip-syncing her way through this show. She was a little out of breath at times, and that was pretty appropriate considering how hard she was shaking that booty.

But, as much as this concert did seem like a club night in downtown Vancouver — complete with teams of girls in heels and mini skirts — there were a few songs where Rihanna showcased her vocals, namely during ballads “Unfaithful”, “Hate That I Love You,” and “California King Bed.” Things slowed down even more with “Take a Bow” and ironically, though chorus went “How about a round of applause? Yeah, standing ovation?,” hardly anyone in the venue was on their feet.

But the crowd was re-energized by the double-bill encore, featuring “Love The Way You Lie,” which started slowly, with Rihanna sitting on a rising piano, followed up by “Umbrella,” complete with a shower of confetti. End scene.

NEWS photo Sprout

R&B princess Rihanna opened her Rogers Arena show with “Only Girl (in the World)” and for the next two hours it seemed like she was.

often too shy to talk or tell a story, but never too shy to sing.

But while the two high school sweethearts eventually went their separate ways, Graves never said goodbye to jazz, and continues to use it to express herself and push her own boundaries.

“My mom always said I sang more than I talked when I was really young, because I was a little bit shy,” says Graves.

Now living in Vancouver, she keeps especially busy playing all kinds of music under the sun — literally, in the case of two upcoming North Shore concerts. She’s a member of the ten-piece soul/funk band Soulstream, a French lounge swing band called Mimosa, an Indian classical and jazz fusion band called Ta Ki Ta, the instrumental jazz band Out of the Woods and the Hitmen XB. That’s not including her own quartet, which she composes music for, and who she will be bringing to the civic plaza for a free show July 2nd.

It’s her third time playing the little North Vancouver square at 14th and Lonsdale, having set the mood for the opening of the new library a few years back and returned once since then as part of Mamosa, and she says it’s one of her favourite spots when the sun is shining.

“I don’t want to jinx it, but they are saying it’s going to be sunny,” she says. “It’s a lovely stage and people just walk by and they just get drawn in.”

A talented composer, Graves will feature some of her own music at the show alongside jazz standards.

A week later, on July 8, Graves will play alongside Blair Lewis at Rocky’s Café in West Vancouver’s Whytecliff Park, part of a summer series of music at the café that will bring different artists and styles every Friday.

OUR ELECTRICITY GRID IS ABOUT TO GET

A WHOLE LOT SMARTER

STARTING THIS SUMMER, BC HYDRO WILL BE UPGRADING HOMES AND BUSINESSES WITH NEW SMART METERS. MOVING TO A MORE EFFICIENT, MODERNIZED GRID WILL CREATE IMMEDIATE SAVINGS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS. YOU MAY BE WONDERING...

What is a smart meter?

The smart metering program will modernize our electricity system by replacing old electro-mechanical meters with new digital meters. A smart meter is a a digital meter that records the amount of power you use. It helps improve the efficiency of the power grid, means less wasted electricity and gets BC ready for future power needs.

What are the benefits for me as a customer?

You will be able to see your power use in near real time and it will be faster and easier to open and close your account if you move.

What happens if the power goes out?

With smart meters in place, BC Hydro can pinpoint power outages and restore power faster.

How does it make my community safer?

The new meters reduce public and worker exposure to theft-related safety hazards, such as house fires, live wires and premature transformer failures.

How will my meter be read?

There will be remote, two way communication between your meter and BC Hydro.

Smart meter signals are short, infrequent and will last less than one minute per day.

Is the signal safe?

The signals are low level frequency and exceed Health Canada safety standards.

Is my information secure?

Similar to online banking systems, the data from the meters is secure and your privacy is protected.

Quartet playing new tunes From page 14 But she doesn’t always play for an audience. Concert-goers will get to hear some of Graves’ most recent songs, which includes a song she penned while visiting Costa Rica with her partner. While he was off working with biologists in the forest, she got to go for walks, take her instruments with her and play to the sound of chirping birds.

The trip was highly inspirational, she says “I would just play my horn in the jungle with all the weird jungle noises,” she says. “I came up with this swamp-funk tune.”

Other times, inspiration is closer to home.

“It’s interesting where the seeds of inspiration come from. One of those songs, “Music In Your Smile,” I just started singing it around the house here.”

Even after opening up for the interview, laughing casually and telling stories for 20 minutes, Graves admits that she still feels shy on stage. She’s not one to banter on, she says, or to tell grand stories: rather, she likes to let the music do the talking.

But judging by the amount of music she’s had a hand in creating, she’s got a lot to say.

FILM

Furry friends amp up the cuteness Julie Crawford Contributing Writer

CLINT Eastwood’s done it. So has a young Kurt Russell, and a pre-presidential Ronald Reagan. Ditto lesser luminaries Don Knotts and Matt Leblanc.

This week it’s Kevin James’ turn to step into the ring, the latest in a long list of human actors co-starring alongside animals onscreen.

In The Zookeeper James plays Griffin Keyes, a lonely zoo employee who is completely clueless when it comes to interacting with his own species. When Griffin decides that he needs to get a life outside the zoo in order to find a mate, his loyal animal friends speak up and start dispensing dating and relationship advice, Dr. Phil style.

Starring alongside animals is an acting gamble; historically, such a role is either a steppingstone to stardom (look how it worked out for Reagan) or purgatory for comedians like Jason Alexander (Dunston Checks In), George Lopez (Beverly Hills Chihuahua, Marmaduke), Bill Murray (Garfield: Tale of Two Kitties) and Eddie Murphy (Dr. -(

The pundits from South Park have already weighed in, in a sketch where Stan was unable to distinguish between an ad for The Zookeeper and a turd in a microwave: “They both look like turds about to be reheated to me” says Stan.

But movies featuring our furry friends are more popular than ever, and not just for the kiddie demographic. Romantic comedies in particular

Blame the infantilization of our culture or blame the Taco Bell chihuahua: it’s clear that as the economy and world events get more stressful, we as an audience are eager to check our intellect at the door and watch movies about talking monkeys.

frequently feel the need to insert animal companions into their plotlines, presumably because sappy soliloquies are less grating when our heroine is addressing a malti-poo.

The cuteness factor of such scenarios have been amped up, too. It’s not enough to dress our pets in couture; in more than one rom-com last year, the dogs were not just cute, they were handicapped, too.

(Jennifer Lopez’s rescue dog in The Backup Plan was nattily

at what point are the animals more interesting than the human leads? Now that animal antics and expressions can be computer generated and manipulated, we don’t have to rely on animal wranglers to coax the best out of a furry performer. Plus there’s a lot less poop on the set.

In fact, with the motion capture process and everadvancing technology, there may soon be no need for highpriced human actors at all.

Voicing animated characters is still a respectable paycheque for the likes of James Earl Jones, Angelina Jolie, Tom Hanks, Jeremy Irons and Reese Witherspoon. The following, however, is verboten, at least from this critic’s point of view: dancing with anyone other than your own species; heeding relationship advice from animals; spooning with animals, and/or playing any professional sport or game other than “fetch” with animals. (Being under the influence, naturally, makes all of the above OK.) And so, actors everywhere, take note: a dog may be man’s best friend, but he makes for a poor choice of co-star. And unless you want to see the Best Actress award go to a bitch (the four-legged kind) stick to scripts with human actors.

Czech masterwork

SLOVAK actress Magda Vášáryová stars in Markéta Lazarová, “one of Central European cinema’s major masterpieces,” according to Sight & Sound critic Michael Brooke. The cast and crew making the 1967 film, screening July 9 and 10 as part of a retrospective look at the work of Czech director František Vlácil, were secluded in the Šumava forest during production to immerse them in the story. The Village Voice’s Michael Atkinson says it is “the most convincing film about the Middle Ages made anywhere.”

PACIFIC CINEMATHEQUE 1131 Howe St., 604-688-FILM www.cinematheque.bc.ca.

The Fantastic World of František Vlácil Pacific Cinémathèque pays tribute to a film poet and master of imagery whose visionary work has evoked comparisons to Tarkovsky, Eisenstein, Bergman and Kurosawa, František Vlácil (1924-1999) is perhaps the least-known major figure of the Czech Republic’s storied national cinema.

Vlácil’s films rank amongst the finest Czech films of the 1960s, the heyday of the Czechoslovak New Wave.

His magnum opus Markéta Lazarová (1967) was voted, in a survey of 100 Czech film critics, “the best Czech film ever made.” The retrospective has travelled to London, New York, Chicago and Washington D.C. prior to Vancouver.

Tonight The Valley of the Bees (Czechoslovakia, 1967) screens at 6:30 p.m. and Vlácil’s first feature after the 1968 Soviet invasion Smoke on the Potato Fields (1976) at 8:30 p.m.

BURROWS - Kenneth Leslie It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ken at the age of 72, on June 25th, 2011 at Lions Gate Hospital. James and Maggie would like to thank the nurses and doctors who looked after Ken during his lengthy stay in the Acute Care Ward on the 4th floor. Ken was born on 28th February, 1939 in Bromley, Kent, England, the second child of Leslie and Frances Burrows. On leaving school, Ken served an apprenticeship, started work and we nt to evening classes.

However his routine was interrupted by the call of duty; a two year stint in the British Army as required under the National Services Act. He served in the Royal Engineers in Cyprus and North Africa between 1960 and 1962. Afterwards he resumed his engineering career, although he took a brief leave of absence to pursue his love of cycling and traversed through parts of Europe on his bike for months at a time. In 1975 he moved to Canada to take up a position in Vancouver as a Marine Propulsion Engineer.

Soon after he decided to make Vancouver his home. He lived the rest of his life on the North Shore working in the shipyards of North Vancouver and Victoria, maintaining the ferry fleet and various cruise ships. His work would also take him across Canada and the world, from Hawaii to Europe to Australia and everywhere in between. Ken had many friends and colleagues in the Marine Industry in Canada, the USA, Sweden, and the UK. He leaves behind and will be sadly missed by his son James, his sister Barbara, niece Karen, and nephews Kevin and Martin and their families, as well as his cousin Ray in Nova Scotia and his many other relatives in England.

A service will be held for Ken at First Memorial Funeral Services on Lillooet Rd in North Vancouver on Thursday, July 7th at 2pm. In lieu of flowers, kindly make a donation to a charity of your choosing.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to THE ROAD

2011 Ford F-150

Ford strikes balance with pickup

David Chao Contributing writer

IN 2009, Ford stated it would make its fantastic new EcoBoost technology available in 90 per cent of its vehicles by 2013, systematically replacing its outdated engines with turbocharged inlinefours and V6s that are smaller, lighter and vastly more efficient.

GRINDING GEARS Columnist Brendan McAleer explores “Canada’s favourite car” — the Honda Civic.

Read the story at www.nsnews.com/ driving.

★

Since then, a 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 has shown up in vehicles such as the Flex and Taurus, producing awesome power and dramatically reducing fuel consumption.

Ford has also made great strides with non-turbocharged engines, developing a new 3.7litre V6 and 5.0-litre V8 for the Mustang coupe while following the industry trend toward sixspeed automatic transmissions.

And in 2011, the F-150 pickup benefits from all of these things.

Two years after the introduction of the 12th generation F-150, Ford has completely revamped the truck’s engine lineup, subjecting it to the most extensive powertrain overhaul in the iconic vehicle’s long history. As a result, the 2011 F-150 can be had with the 3.7-litre V6 or 5.0-litre V8 borrowed from the Mustang, along with a 6.2-litre V8 and, of course, the EcoBoost V6.

For many truck owners, the very idea of a turbocharged V6 under the hood of their next truck is ridiculous; they want the traditional V8 they know and trust. For others, that big, gas-guzzling V8 engine is a necessity more than a desire, and anything that produces comparable power while improving fuel efficiency is a welcome addition.

Balancing the desire to innovate and lead the way against the need to satisfy its extremely loyal customer base, Ford has done the smart thing and catered to both groups.

As a result, every F-150 buyer

NEWS photo Paul McGrath

BALANCING the desire to innovate and the need to satisfy its loyal customers, Ford caters to both groups with its F-150, allowing buyers to get the vehicle they really want, whether it’s a two-door hauler or a four-door luxury truck. It’s available at Cam Clark Ford at 833 Automall Dr. in North Vancouver. can get the vehicle they really want, whether it’s a two-door hauler or a four-door luxury truck. And even if they don’t opt for EcoBoost, owners will benefit from a 20 per cent improvement in fuel efficiency across the entire engine lineup.

Put all of this together, and it’s reasonable to expect that the F-150 will maintain its position at the top of the leaderboard, which includes 46 years as Canada’s best-selling truck. At this rate, 50 years doesn’t seem so far away.

Design Like all full-size trucks these days, the F-150 is simply massive, with squaredoff corners, harder edges, and a tough, no-nonsense exterior design highlighted by a powerful front grille. It’s available in regular cab, super cab and SuperCrew body styles.

Some consumers might prefer the sportier and friendlier look of the previous F-150,

but most will appreciate the sculpted tailgate, which reduces turbulence for better fuel efficiency, and the choice of 19 different wheel options.

The 2004 F-150’s interior was a revelation, adopting a more passenger-friendly look and feel that made the truck more accessible. The 2011 version maintains that feeling, but doesn’t go any further to innovate or set trends. In that sense, it’s perfectly fine, but a bit disappointing.

Build quality — already a strong point of the F-150 — has gotten even better. The fit and finish are exceptional, and the truck feels unbelievably solid.

Performance The F-150’s naturally aspirated engines include a 3.7litre V6 with 302 horsepower and 278 foot-pounds of torque, a 5.0-litre V8 with 360 h.p. and 380 foot-pounds of torque, and a 6.2-litre V8 tuned for 411 h.p. and 434 foot-pounds of torque. The 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 employs twin turbochargers to produce 365 h.p. and 420 foot-pounds of torque and is, quite simply, an amazing engine with just a

hint of turbo lag and excellent response.

A six-speed automatic is the only transmission available in the F-150, which also has a towing/hauling mode that enables the truck to compensate for road conditions and grades when moving heavy loads.

It’s no surprise that the F-150’s turning radius is big, making the truck cumbersome in tight city streets and parking lots. Putting that aside, the handling is surprisingly good for such a large vehicle, and the truck feels stable and wellplanted even when the bed is empty.

One of the most impressive aspects of the previous generation F-150 was how amazingly quiet it was on the road, and the current model may be even better, thanks to a stiffer frame, improved body mounts, and a host of other improvements designed to reduce noise, vibration and harshness.

Environment Controls are placed logically on the F-150’s flat and vertical dashboard, employing a similar layout to many recent Ford

vehicles. Regular Cabs come with a three-person bench seat, which can be replaced by a full console with a giant storage box in four-door cabins.

The front-bucket seats in four-door models are very comfortable, and rear passengers will find lots of room in both the super cab and SuperCrew configurations.

However, despite the designers’ best efforts, the rear seatbacks are still very upright and potentially uncomfortable over long distances.

In addition to offering the most space, the SuperCrew benefits from a lift-up rear bench that provides a completely flat load floor for tall objects. There are also bins and compartments all over the truck, ensuring that you’ll have lots of places to stow your gear.

Notable features that contribute significantly to the F-150’s overall convenience and utility include a folding bed extender, box-side steps that can be quickly deployed and retracted and a class-exclusive step that flips out from the tailgate.

THE F-150’s flat and vertical dashboard employs a similar layout to many recent Ford vehicles.

Features The F-150 sells for $19,999 with the regular cab, $31,499 with the super cab, and $35,199 with the SuperCrew.

Depending on the body style, it’s available in XL, STX, XLT, FX4 and Lariat trims, and can be augmented with a variety of upgrade packages that potentially push the price above $65,000.

Standard equipment on the spartan regular cab XL includes ABS, stability control, traction control, air conditioning, tilt steering, four-speaker CD stereo, and front/side/overhead airbags.

Numerous configurations and options augment the truck with features such as cruise control, keyless entry, tilt/telescope steering, adjustable pedals, GPS navigation, moonroof, reverse-sensing system, powerdeployable running boards and power-adjustable everything.

Equipped with the standard V6 and rear-wheel drive, the F-150’s fuel efficiency is rated at 12.9 litres/100 kilometres in

the city and 8.9 l/100 km on the highway.

Thumbs up Impressive powertrain options, exceptionally quiet interior and numerous options.

Thumbs down Massive size and lacklustre interior design.

The bottom line A good thing keeps getting better.

Competitors ■ Chevrolet Silverado Although the Silverado retails for $26,395, Chevrolet’s current pricing adjustments bring it down to $17,386. It’s powered by a 4.3-litre V6 with 195 h.p. and 260 foot-pounds of torque, a 4.8-litre V8 with 302 h.p. and 305 foot-pounds of torque, a 5.3-litre V8 with 326 h.p. and 348 foot-pounds of torque, or a 6.2-litre V8 with 403 h.p. and 417 foot-pounds of torque.

GM’s fuel-efficient alternative to EcoBoost is the Silverado Hybrid, which augments a 6.0-litre V8 producing 332 h.p. and 367 foot-pounds of torque with two electric motors.

■ Dodge Ram The Ram 1500 ranges from $20,495 on the low end to $47,965 for the Laramie Longhorn, equipped with a 3.7-litre V6 with 215 h.p. and 235 foot-pounds of torque, a 4.7-litre V8 with 310 h.p. and 330 foot-pounds of torque, or a 5.7-litre V8 with 390 h.p. and 407 foot-pounds of torque.

Chrysler isn’t quite as far along as GM in its postbankruptcy reinvention, but the excellent Ram continues to be a

bright spot in the automaker’s vehicle line-up.

■ Toyota Tundra Starting at $26,195, the Tundra comes with two engine choices: a 4.6-litre V8 generating 310 h.p. and 327 foot-pounds of torque, or a 5.7-litre V8 with 381 h.p. and 401 foot-pounds of torque.

Toyota’s full-size truck gets better with every generation, and at this point the only thing it lacks is the intensely loyal customer bases of its rivals.
