Crime drops on N. Shore for 10th year Experts attribute continuing decline to demographics, police tactics

Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

WEST Vancouver is one of the safest places to live in the province.

That’s according to new crime statistics for 2011 released by Statistics Canada this week.

Those figures, which measure both crime rate and the type of crimes committed, show West Vancouver is tied with Comox and second only to North Saanich in terms of safety among cities with populations greater than 10,000.

The District of North Vancouver was ranked as the next safest community on the list.

The numbers are an extension of a longterm trend, which has seen crime rates in all three North Shore communities fall dramatically over the past decade.

In 2011, crime in West Vancouver was at its lowest in the past 10 years, down 43 per cent from the highest point in the decade, in See Public page 3

Failed WV home purchase draws hefty lawsuit

Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

A West Vancouver property owner has launched a lawsuit against a couple who she says made a deal to buy her home then reneged on the contract after the global economy collapsed in 2008.

Barbara Element is suing Polina Alexandra Del Mar and Hygrozyme Management Inc, a company owned by Del Mar’s husband Boris, claiming the couple tried to back out of the real estate deal in order to make a lowball offer when the market started falling.

After the deal collapsed, Element had to sell the house in January 2009 for $334,000 less than the Del Mars had offered.

Element has asked for a release of a $100,000 deposit and is suing for damages, including losses in the market, plus $11,000 in interim financing costs, realtors’ fees of almost $17,000 and legal fees of more than $7,000.

The Del Mars have argued mistakes made in drafting the contract have left it unenforceable. They have counter-sued for the deposit and have See Buyers page 5

FITTING in at summer camp is difficult enough. Imagine the challenge of doing it with a rare disease that only a handful of kids in the province truly understand.

One North Vancouver camp has been designed to tackle that challenge head-on.

Every summer, kids diagnosed with juvenile arthritis, lupus, Wagner’s disease and juvenile dermatomyositis come to Camp Capilano for three-anda-half days of fun tailored to their needs.

Now in its 30th year, things have come full circle. Kids who originally came as campers are now helping to run the show.

North Van to bid for B.C. Games

Brent Richter brichter@nsnews.com

THE City and District of North Vancouver are joining forces in a bid to co-host the 2018 B.C. Summer Games.

The two municipal councils voted Monday to submit a bid for the athletic event and to contribute up to $15,000 in cash and $16,700 in in-kind services if the North Shore communities win the chance to play host.

Speaking in support of the plan, district Coun. Roger Bassam praised the games as a community-building venture for the municipality.

“I recognize, as a long-time amateur athlete, the beauty of these games, and bringing everyone together in competitive sport is wonderful thing,” he said. “This would be a huge boost for the local economy. Sports tourism is a very viable market, one that we should be going after.”

This year’s B.C. Summer games just wrapped in Surrey, bringing in 3,000 young athletes and coaches and another 3,000 volunteers. But winning the bid won’t be a slam-dunk, noted district Mayor Richard Walton, as neither community has a 50-metre pool or a track suitable for the games.

Public anxiety blamed on media

From page 1

2002.

The city and district of North Vancouver have seen similar improvement, hitting their lowest ebb for the decade last year, after falling 40 per cent from a high in 2004.

The data reflect a national trend. Across the country, crime is the lowest it’s been in 20 years.

“We’ve been on a roll,” said Paul Brantingham, a professor of criminology at Simon Fraser University, who lives in Deep Cove. “It’s an imperfect roll, but things are a lot safer now.”

Between 2010 and 2011, the number of crimes reported across the country fell six per cent. The “crime severity index” — which measures how serious those crimes are — was also 26 per cent lower in 2011 than it was a decade previously.

Both the incidence and severity of violent crime was also down by four percent between 2010 and 2011 — the fifth year in a row that the severity of violent crime decreased.

Part of the falling crime rate can be explained by demographic change, said Neil Boyd, another criminology professor at SFU. “Most crime generally is committed by young men,” he said. Back in 1977, when the national murder rate was three times what it is today, there were a lot more young men in the population.

That’s likely part of the reason North Shore communities are relatively safe; they are also relatively old. The last census figures showed 25 per cent of West Vancouver’s population is 65 and older.

People in high-income communities like West Vancouver are also usually more “wedded into the social system” and “connected to the rules of society,” said Brantingham.

What’s more, according to research, criminals are more likely to commit crimes in their own neighbourhoods — or very similar neighbourhoods — than in wealthy communities they aren’t familiar with, he said.

Even in the last year, there has been an improvement, with crime in West Vancouver dropping almost 14 per cent between 2010 and 2011.

Property crime was down more than 20 per cent, while the rate of violent crime — including one homicide — was up seven per cent.

In the District of North Vancouver, rates of both overall crime and violent crime were also down, by seven and 14 per cent respectively.

The City of North Vancouver has the highest rate of the three North Shore communities — double the rate of other municipalities. That’s not surprising in an area that is high-density, commercial and connected to downtown by the SeaBus, said Brantingham.

Even so, rates of both crime and violent crime were down in the city by more than six per cent. The rate of property crime in the city was down by 15 per cent.

Another reason for the drop is that police forces have changed their tactics in the last decade, said Brantingham.

These days, police focus more on the very small percentage of repeat offenders responsible for the majority of crime.

Both Boyd and Brantingham said media reports about sensational crimes are part of the reason the public still thinks the problem is rampant, despite the statistics.

“If there’s a horrible thing that happens 10,000 miles away, CBC and CTV and Fox news are all telling you about it in great detail within minutes,” said Brantingham.

“That kind of a diet makes the public feel that crime is reeling out of control,” said Boyd.

In reality, he said, the crime rate in 1890 in B.C. was probably “about two or three times what it is now.”

CITY of North Vancouver residents will soon have their say as to whether they want to share their neighbourhoods with chickens.

Municipal council gave first reading to two bylaws Monday night that would allow backyard chickens on properties with single-family homes. The city will gauge the community’s opinion on matter at a public hearing to be held this fall.

If approved, residents will be allowed to keep up to eight hens in backyard coops. Selling their eggs or slaughtering the birds would be prohibited, and roosters would remain personae non grata.

The changes come at the request of the North Vancouver chapter of Canadian Liberated Urban Chicken Klub, or CLUCK, which made a presentation to council in April.

Outside the meeting, a half-dozen CLUCK members celebrated the small victory.

“We’re happy about it; we’ve been working at it for over a year, so it’s nice to have a response,” said CLUCK member Stephanie Imhoff.

“Our group just thinks it’s a great addition to the urban landscape.”

After hearing from the group’s delegation in April, council requested a staff report with more detailed information on how the city would regulate hens and address issues around health risks and bylaw enforcement.

“I still have some concerns, but I believe this is the kind of thing that should have the benefit of input from the public,” Coun. Don Bell said at Monday’s meeting.

While there is a worry that the chickens, their feed and their coops could draw predators and scavengers, the birds would be largely shielded from that by virtue of geography, said Mayor Darrell Mussatto.

“One advantage we have on the North Shore is we are surrounded by the district,” he said. “Most bears, to get at these hens, would have to go through the district,” he said.

According to staff’s report, only about 60 Vancouver residents signed up to keep coops when that municipality allowed hens in 2010.

Vancouver expects roughly the same number to raise chickens without properly registering.

Only about 20 per cent of residents in the City of North Vancouver live on single-family lots, meaning staff expect very See DNV page 5

Unlike Vancouver, backyard farmers here would not have to register their broods or get permits. City staff recommended a less stringent regulatory approach to reduce the burden on city resources.

As for health risks, staff consulted a Vancouver Coastal Health report commissioned by Vancouver council which found adding chickens to big cities brought little threat with it.

“Overall, the risk of pathogen transmission (associated with) backyard chicken keeping appears to be low and does not present a greater threat to the public’s health compared with keeping of other animals . . . such as dogs and cats,” the report stated.

CLUCK has also been lobbying the District of North Vancouver to adopt chicken-friendly bylaws, but district council only seems to be willing to consider the changes as part of a larger OCP review, Imhoff said.

asked that any damages be passed on to the realtors involved in the sale for negligence in preparing the contract.

According to court documents, Element listed her house on Lawson Avenue for $1.6 million in July 2008.

The Del Mars told their real estate agent to prepare an offer for $1.562 million, later reduced to $1.544 million, and paid a $100,000 deposit. The deal, listing Polina Del Mar and Hygrozyme as the purchasers, was to close on Oct. 29, 2008.

But only Polina Del Mar actually signed the agreement before the couple left on a trip to Europe. Element has claimed that was on purpose.

In anticipation of the sale, Element bought another home in West Vancouver and started moving out of the Lawson Avenue home.

But about 10 days before the sale was to finalize, the Del Mars wrote to Element saying the deal was not enforceable because only one of them had signed the contract.

“In view of the recent market reversals and deteriorating economic circumstances, it appears that this property is now significantly overvalued and as such, we are very seriously considering electing not to complete the purchase,” they wrote.

The letter added that if Element would agree to sell the Lawson Avenue home to them for $1.44 million, the Del Mars would go ahead with the deal. The couple then presented a contract for $1.44 million directly to Element, which she rejected.

In their defence, Polina Del Mar said she never intended to buy the property by herself, as she would not be able to afford it without her husband’s company.

But B.C. Supreme Court Justice Robert Punnett noted neither of the Del Mars provided an explanation as to why the contract wasn’t signed on behalf of the company.

This month, Punnett rejected a request that the case be decided by a summary trial — based on written affidavits — and ordered that the case be set for a regular trial as soon as possible.

Two bridges too far R

ESIDENTS of the North Shore, and in fact of cities all over North America, should pay attention as Vancouver moves closer to tearing down the vestiges of its highway system.

This week, Vancouver mayor Gregor Robertson said his council was preparing to vote on a proposal that would see the aging Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts removed and replaced with an at-grade thoroughfare, parkland and housing.

The move would be a significant one, not just for its effect on drivers and the surrounding neighbourhood, but because it would be proof of concept.

When the viaducts were built in the 1960s, North America was in the grips of a freeway-building frenzy.

If you plowed big roads into cities, the reasoning went, you could solve commuting woes permanently. Except for those two elevated streets, Vancouver

resisted the trend.

No doubt many disagreed with the decision, but over time it has proven to be the right one. While other, freeway-dominated, cities have seen neighbourhoods wither around their major roads and traffic continue to balloon, Vancouver, through smart planning and alternative transit, has created a thriving centre. Over the past 15 years, the number of cars entering the core has actually dropped by 15 per cent. The death of the viaducts — together with the construction of the Evergreen Line — would push that process even further.

On the North Shore, as we prepare to deal with a surge in traffic over our two bridges, we should take note.

Transit and good planning — not road expansion — are the answers to the coming mess.

Bike lane a bad plan, says cyclist Dear Editor: As a resident of the Keith Road hill area (at Shavington) I strongly disagree with Anita Leonhard’s recent letter criticizing the District of North Vancouver’s decision not give up a Keith Road vehicle lane to bikes (Keith a Council Failure, July 22, North Shore News).

I have been a bicycle commuter for 10 years, riding from North Vancouver to the east side of Vancouver, and I ride on the North Shore seven days a week for work, shopping and pleasure. The thing that really struck me over the years is the belief that some paint on the road creates a safe environment for cyclists or pedestrians — it doesn’t. Only separated bike and car lanes are the answer to safe riding.

In a two-week period when the “temporary” bike lane was in place, I personally witnessed six near-collisions involving cars and bikes. I also experienced long waits

turning left onto Keith Road from Shavington and saw cars passing dangerously to get around cars trying to turn right off the hill. If anything, I noticed an increase in speeding on the hill during this time, likely due to frustration.

When I rode my bike on the North Shore I always used the safest routes I could find, such as the Brooksbank trail to reach upper Grand Boulevard and Lonsdale Avenue or Heywood/4th Street and the Low Level Road to reach Lower Lonsdale.

Perhaps these routes could be made more accessible and dedicated for bikes. It would have been crazy to make one of the steepest hills in North Vancouver a bike route.

If Ms. Leonhard is truly interested in pedestrian safety, perhaps she should be lobbying the council to put in sidewalks and crossing signals.

On dirty fuel, a lesson from the canoe

Dear Editor: When Vancouver was burning to the ground in 1886, the Squamish Nation launched their canoes and paddled from the North Shore across Burrard Inlet to rescue those who were trying to escape the fire on the far side.

What motivated the launch of the Squamish canoes was the traditional elders teaching that those in need should receive help.

120 years later, the Squamish Nation held a ceremony and celebration to remember their Great Vancouver Fire rescue mission that helped the people of Vancouver.

It was the sacred canoe ceremony that marked the historical event.

Further into the past, according to tradition, it was the sacred canoe that saved the Nation’s children when the waters

of the melting icebergs flooded the land and reached up to the highest peaks of the mountains at that time. There is historical evidence that canoes have saved the day in other times of danger, suffering and need.

In current times, of ominous global warming, we need to look (to these traditions) to show us the way out of the systemic addiction to oil: Only if we had enough wisdom and foresight to spare the old growth forest where the canoe comes from, and only if we allowed the whales to come back to their homeland in Burrard Inlet can we resolve this issue.

Oil is sinking the Earth-ship. Respecting and protecting old growth forests, sacred canoes and whales is the gateway for our kids’ future.

All you need to do is to ring your bell while you’re still some distance away or if, like the majority, you are so ill-equipped as not to have a bell, call out, “Fore!” or “Ahoy!” or something to get our attention.

Dix, Day set for showdown HIV plan tests only patience Mailbox

THE recent finding by the Medical Services Commission that two private clinics in B.C. have been extra-billing their patients should surprise no one, and the finding will have absolutely zero impact on the health care system itself — at least, for now.

But make the no mistake: The Supreme Court of Canada may eventually have to rule on whether such extra-billing is legal or not, and that ruling could have a profound impact on the public health care system.

Dr. Brian Day, who runs the Cambie Surgery Centre in Vancouver, is adamant that any person should be able to purchase health services if they so choose. If a person is in pain and needs an operation, and if they have the financial resources necessary, they should be able to quickly alleviate that suffering rather than spend time on an often-lengthy wait list in the publicly funded healthcare system, Day argues.

Presumably, there are a lot of people who agree with that point of view (if there weren’t, Day wouldn’t be in business). But there are also many who don’t, and they fear legalizing extra billing

View from the Ledge Keith Baldrey

will simply open the door for physicians to charge whatever they want for their services and thus begin dismantling the access-for-all philosophy at the heart of our system.

Of course, private clinics have been operating for years in this country, and extra billing has likely occurred since they opened their doors.

There is no compelling evidence they have inflicted harm on the public system.

In fact, some argue that private clinics absorb some of the pressure on the public system and therefore keep wait lists shorter than they might be otherwise.

Day has been fighting the government’s attempt to rein in his clinic’s activities for years (although the NDP insists the B.C. Liberals have in reality been looking the other way and have put up only token efforts to enforce

the law). He wants to take the issue all the way to the highest court, if need be, to get government off his back and to enshrine in law a person’s unfettered access to health care.

Of course, the court could rule against his argument, thus setting the stage for a confrontation between provincial regulatory agencies like the Medical Services Commission and private clinics, which may have to open their books to much greater scrutiny than they’ve been willing to accept so far.

But the case won’t make its way to the highest court for some time yet — perhaps not for a year or two. In the meantime, it’s unclear how the provincial government will deal with Day’s clinic.

The commission has said it will seek a court injunction if it detects any further evidence of extra billing.

However, the financial penalties contained in the Medicare Protection Act (the provincial statute that specifically outlaws extra billing) have yet to be proclaimed into law, and at $20,000 aren’t terribly onerous.

It’s likely this standoff between the clinics and the provincial government will still be ongoing next year, which means Adrian Dix and the NDP will inherit this headache should they

form government. Dix has said he would proclaim the penalties into law and would vigorously oppose Day on philosophical grounds. He also favors returning to patients any money they paid through extra billing.

Dix has also said he would enforce rules barring physicians from working in both the private side of health care and the public system.

That may force doctors to choose sides, and the impact on private clinics when it came to retaining their physicians’ services could be interesting.

Like any other service, human resources are a key component of the health care system — private or public. There are only so many doctors and nurses out there —shortages exist in many areas of care — and if too many work in the private side of health care, that could make wait times in the public side even longer.

So get ready to hear a lot from Day in the coming months. His fight has been going on a long time, but in many respects it’s just getting started.

And in Dix and the NDP, he may soon have a different and more aggressive adversary to deal with.

Olympic hazards for the easily sickened

THE Olympics make my wife want to puke.

No, she’s not some gas-masked anarchist who flies halfway around the world to scream “corporate greed!” at men on horses, nor is she some elitist who pooh-poohs the Olympics as mere distraction from more important things in life like social justice or the lack of nice places to plug in a hybrid.

She’s actually a sensible lady who really enjoys watching Canadian people wearing spandex paddle rowboats or play ping-pong or whatever in an attempt to win medals.

The puking started in 2010 during the Games hosted right here in Vancouver.

At that time, she was three months pregnant with our son and in the throes of terrible morning sickness. For some reason her definition of morning expanded to include the afternoon, night, dusk, dawn, brunch, tea and rush hour. For her, Olympic fever took on a whole new meaning.

So while the rest of us were out partying and waiting in lines, she was at home curled up on the couch with a bucket. Remember that theme song “I believe” that CTV played every 16 seconds? For my wife, that became Pavlov’s ringing bell, signifying it was time to toss her cookies.

“Dee-dee-dee-daaa-daadaa-daaahhh, dee-dee-deedaa-blaaaghhhh!”

Long after my son was born, my wife’s stomach would still turn after hearing just a few notes of that song

Laugh All You Want Andy Prest

— aside from that cool blue pick-up-sticks cauldron downtown, it’s the biggest remaining legacy the Games.

The next Olympics start today in London (motto: “Faster, stronger, pastier”).

I love watching the Games and will spend the next two weeks the same way I spend every Games: awake.

What I’ve discovered over the years is that you don’t have to have a baby inside you pushing your barf button to feel a little queasy as hour 235 of Olympic coverage rolls by.

Here are a few scenarios that may arise over the next two weeks that could have you bringing up your breakfast.

Watch safely, and consider yourself warned.

1. The Brian Williams “speaking of” drinking game CTV Olympic veteran Brian Williams — known in the United States as “No, Not That Brian Williams” — is back to host prime-time Olympic coverage in Canada.

Olympic nuts are very familiar with his style as these will be his 14th Games.

There are some common

Williamsisms: At least once per Games, he gets fired up with indignation and blasts some group of judges or athletes or officials as “cheats.” He’s also known for frequently announcing the time, which will be interesting this year, because his broadcasts will come in the middle of the night: “It’s 3:30 in the a.m. here in London’s Trafalgar Square; a man calling himself the Duke of Chugsalot just threw a bowl of curry takeout at my producer.”

One of my favourite Williams quirks is his use of the phrase “speaking of” to segue to a new topic. “. . . The lightning bounced off of Big Ben and struck a passing horsedrawn carriage, singeing

Pippa Middleton’s fascinator.

SPEAKING OF bolts, the men’s 100 metres. . . .”

He says it a lot, and he says it hilariously. Taking a shot of gin for every “speaking of” you hear would make for a great drinking game, but be warned: If Williams finds his segue stride, that Beefeater Dry may be going out the way it came in.

2. Jay Onrait uses his head Sticking with the Canadian broadcasters, TSN’s wacky Jay Onrait has already been unleashed on London and will continue his shenanigans throughout the Games. In his time on the network’s late-night Sports Centre show, Onrait has shown he’s not above smearing his face with ketchup to fake a serious head

injury. With the stakes raised at the Olympics, Onrait may take his act to a new level.

I’m thinking an homage to Britain’s rich history: a beheading. If he makes it too realistic, he could certainly turn some unsuspecting stomachs.

3. NBC — Nothing But Crying Heading south of the border, NBC’s Olympic coverage has long been making serious sports fans violently ill. For seemingly every event they’ll find some American competitor who’s overcome the tragic loss of her father’s cousin’s gardener’s favourite lawnmower to heroically finish seventh in archery. Plus they show most of the big-ticket events on

a massive tape delay, so that by the time viewers finally see Michael Phelps win his record-setting 19th medal, the swimming star will have already apologized for eight separate celebration-related scandals.

This year, NBC is showing a lot of events live on its website, and they have promised to suck some of the sappiness out of their coverage, but I would still give this warning: “Viewer discretion advised; portions of this program may contain scenes of tinkly piano music, people overcoming obstacles (it’s the hurdles for God’s sake!) and a suddenly old Bob Costas.

A10 - North Shore News - Friday, July 27, 2012

INQUIRING REPORTER THE Opening Ceremonies for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London kick off Friday, marking the beginning of the twoweek international event that will see 10 North Shore athletes vying for a place on the podium.

While many Canadians will tell you they prefer to watch winter sports, it’s hard for anyone not to be drawn by the spectacle of the competitions. Canada’s Olympic team has set a goal of placing among the top 12 countries in medal standings. Will that ambitious plan be enough to hold your attention? If so, which Olympic events are you most looking forward to watching?

— Brent Richter

Frank Ducote North Vancouver The 100-metre dash, because it is the ultimate test of human ability and athleticism. After that, it would be women’s soccer. It would be really nice to see Christine Sinclair win the big one.

Which Olympic events are you most looking forward to?

Alex Kurnicki Vancouver I used to be a rower, so the rowing. Overall, I’m more interested in the Winter Olympics.

Edytha Barker North Vancouver The Spice Girls, because they’re going to be in the opening ceremony. I think that’s a good thing.

Andrew Mitton.

North Vancouver I don’t really watch many of them, but I like dragon boating, so I would have to say the paddling.

April Fehr North Vancouver Definitely swimming. If Michael Phelps wins three more medals of any kind, he’ll have the most medals of any Olympian. . . . Then it would be gymnastics.

City weighs land sale for affordable homes Brent Richter brichter@nsnews.com

THE City of North Vancouver is weighing a proposal to sell off some municipal land on the cheap to help create affordable housing for working families.

Peter Ladner, former Vancouver city councillor and current fellow at Simon Fraser University’s Centre for Dialogue, pitched the initiative, dubbed HomesNow, at a council meeting July 16.

The plan would see the city or another organization put up a piece of land at a discount. Once the site had been established, organizers would invite developers and non-profits to partner and submit proposals for a multi-family development targeted at those earning $35,000 to $80,000 per year. The contest would take place in three municipalities, so results could be compared. The ultimate goal, Ladner said, isn’t just to create more housing options, but to create a successful model that would allow the project to be replicated in other cities.

“We’d love to do something in the City of North Vancouver, because I know that you’re very active on this file and you’ve shown

some leadership,” Ladner said in his pitch to council. “It would be great to have something on the North Shore.”

The suggestion brought a litany of questions from council, ranging from HomesNow’s financial viability given recent changes in Canadian mortgage law to whether it was feasible to find a piece of land with a low enough value to get the competition started.

Other cities like Whistler and Abbotsford have created belowmarket housing by thinking outside the box, Ladner said, and Coquitlam and New Westminster are showing interest in the initiative.

Dog rescued by passerby Stranger dives into Capilano to save confused Labrador

From page 10

Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

A bystander with a big heart is being credited with saving a beloved pet after she jumped into the frigid waters off the Ambleside dog park to guide a disoriented dog to safety.

“This lady was so brave,” said owner Sylvia Taylor, who was relieved to be reunited with her Labrador retriever Hemmingway back on shore. “She just dove in and swam way out into the river.”

The doggie drama unfolded on a recent Sunday evening after Taylor took her nine-year-old dog — named Hemmingway, because “he likes hunting, fishing, eating and drinking” — to the popular dog park in West Vancouver.

When Hemmingway swims in the ocean, Taylor usually guides him around to rinse off in the fresh water at the mouth of the Capilano River, just off the park, she said.

But his time, Hemmingway spotted some seals splashing in the mouth of the river and took off after them, swimming far from shore. “Any sense he has photo submitted went right out the window,” she said.

Taylor said she tried calling and calling SYLVIA Taylor (right) is crediting passerby Mitra Parizgar (second Hemmingway to get him to come back, but instead, from left) with saving her dog from the waters near Ambleside. he chased the seals farther into the river.

Although it wasn’t exactly swimming weather, Parizgar took off “It seemed like about an hour” that Hemmingway was in the her shoes and socks and leapt in to the river mouth after the dog. water, she said. “I was really worried.”

The water was cold, she said, and the current was strong.

Eventually a crowd gathered, all trying to lure the confused She swam upstream towards Hemmingway, and after about 20 canine back to shore.

Taylor said she couldn’t go into the water to get the dog because minutes managed to get the dog’s attention by calling his name in a quiet, calm voice.

“I don’t swim,” she said. “I was raised on the prairies.”

Eventually, he turned and allowed himself to be guided back to It was at that moment that Mitra Parizgar of North Vancouver shore. and her son Sam happened on the scene.

Parizgar said she was just happy to help out.

Parizgar said the dog looked disoriented and tired in the water, “She was a very humble hero,” said Taylor. and she could tell the dog’s owner was upset.

As for Hemmingway, “He was very sheepish,” said Taylor. “We “I was a lifeguard back in my 20s, and I’m a strong swimmer,” had to hold on to him. It looked like he wanted to go back in.” she said. “I felt I could help.”

Thank You!

Councillors want other cities to be Guinea pigs There were also questions as to whether it was the city’s role to take on such a project, and whether city should be using its influence to elicit more community amenities from developers instead.

“Why come to the city, when you recognize that we’re already, in many ways, demonstrating leadership and doing it on our own?

Why not offer a program like this to our neighbours in the district?” asked Coun. Pam Bookham, noting that the city provides almost all of the North Shore’s affordable housing.

Other councillors said the City North Vancouver should let other municipalities with more resources take up the challenge.

“It may be that we’re better to wait and see the experience of those municipalities, . . . because we don’t have a lot of land to be the guinea pigs and have it not work,” Coun. Don Bell said.

HomesNow’s biggest supporters on council, Couns. Craig Keating and Linda Buchanan and Mayor Darrell Mussatto, pushed fully to back Ladner’s plan and commit city staff to working with the HomesNow steering committee to scout for suitable city land.

“We’d look like fools and frauds if we didn’t support this,” Keating said after reminding his council colleagues that every one of them campaigned on increasing affordable housing stock.

After their motion was voted down 4-3, council agreed to a more cautious approach, asking staff report back on the issue and incorporate it into a larger discussion on affordable housing in the fall.

4. Ad nauseam We all know the true Olympic spirit is all about the selling of hamburgers and sugary drinks. We’ve seen it all before: During the Olympics, the same four commercials play over and over and over again for two straight weeks. At the start, it’s a rascally talking beaver that makes you laugh. By Week 2 you’re screaming hopelessly at the beaver to shut up.

CTV has already promised they’ll have a heavy rotation for commercials advertising Anger Management, a new sitcom starring, gulp, Charlie Sheen.

WRESTLER Leah Callahan is part of Canada’s Olympic team competing in London July 27 to Aug. 12.

DOCUMENTING LEAH CALLAHAN’S JOURNEY TO LONDON

Olympic dream

■ The Sticking Place created by Josephine Anderson and Brittany Baxter. Interactive online documentary about female wrestler Leah Callahan journey to the 2012 Olympics. Go to thestickingplacefilm.ca to view the work in progress.

Rosalind Duane rduane@nsnews.com

CLICK around The Sticking Place website and pieces of Canadian wrestler Leah Callahan’s life pop up.

Videos of Callahan competing, snippets of audio interviews about her training, even samples of her email are peppered throughout the interactive website.

This week, Callahan joins her teammates in London as a member of the Canadian Olympic wrestling team, and Josephine Anderson, co-creator of The Sticking Place says she is hoping it will be an opportunity to add another chapter to the project.

“The beauty of doing an online project like ours

is you can continue to add to the story as it goes, so following Leah to the Olympics and following that part of her journey as it continues is something we really want to do,” she explains.

Anderson calls The Sticking Place (launched on June 27), an interactive documentary because viewers choose what part of the footage they want to look at as they explore the website. The footage is not presented in a linear format, which would be more similar to traditional documentaries.

“In terms of filmmaking it’s just a different kind of process of fine tuning,” she says.

Anderson worked on the project with her business partner Brittany Baxter (the other half of their production company Moosestash Films). It was Baxter who knew Callahan and suggested her journey to make the Canadian Olympic wrestling team would make a good story.

“The reason Leah is such a compelling subject for a documentary is because of the way that she’s just so raw, she’s so honest, she’s so straightforward and she’s confident with her perspective and her ideas,” says

Anderson.

She adds of Callahan’s reaction to the finished project: “She was excited and her family and friends were excited to relive the moments from this past year.”

Anderson says she felt like she was exploring new territory while making the film, noting there aren’t a lot of projects that have been released in this format.

“Our production was very modern-day, you would say.”

Anderson is based in Vancouver, and notes that most of the footage in The Sticking Place is from interviews done via Skype with Callahan, who is based in Calgary.

Some competition video was shot at past events by Callahan’s teammates. Still other footage was shot using the filmmakers’ DSLR cameras. Anderson and Baxter raised about $20,000 for the project through the crowd-funding website Kickstarter, and through a grant from the National Film Board of Canada.

Anderson admits the web development for the project was an expensive part of the process, but adds, See Project page 19

Jen St. Denis jstdenis@nsnews.com

ON Will Woods’ walking tour, you won’t hear about venerable town fathers or the architectural details of heritage buildings.

Instead, you’ll be ushered into the seedy world of speakeasies, risqué cabarets and opium dens that characterized Vancouver’s prohibition era, from 1917 to 1921.

Project outsourced web design

From page 13

filmmakers always have choices about how much they want to spend, and “You just make these decisions as you go.”

Since web design is not something in which her production company specializes, the web design was outsourced.

“It’s expensive, but at the same time, if you compare it to a large-scale, traditional documentary it’s arguable whether it would be more expensive or less expensive,” says Anderson.

“Making an interactive project was all new to us. We’d never made one before and so it was a lot of guess and testing, and a lot of sort of inventing, really, in terms of our process.

So it was a challenge because there’s no cookie-cutter process to follow. Not yet at least. That was a challenge but it was also such a reward. Having this kind of open slate to explore how we want to do it just using our own judgment and our own interests was also such a rewarding experience.”

She explains that shooting for an interactive website format was a bit different than for a traditional documentary.

“I would say we definitely approached it with a different mindset knowing that the footage we used would be broken into bite-sized pieces, so everything we shot we had in mind, OK which web screen is this going to fit in to?

Where does this fit in within this chapter? That’s so different from a linear story. You could experience The Sticking Place in a linear way if you wanted to but it would probably be challenging to do that, and also it’s not really the way it’s intended. You’re supposed to just follow your own curiosity whether that’s from start to finish or jumping around the whole story.”

Anderson, who is a graduate of Capilano University’s Documentary Film Program, says the documentary genre is her favourite type of filmmaking.

“I love documentaries. I just think that the power of a true story is unlike anything else.

And it’s exciting to have that kind of real-stakes element to the story that you’re sharing with your audience.”

$4500. Tickets are $5 or three for $10 and available at the gallery. The draw will take place Aug. 7.

DAYTRIPPING A Great Day Out for the Whole Family Getting back into the swing of things for the fall can be a busy time, especially for families. Shopping for new clothes and school supplies can mean that time spent together having fun gets pushed off the calendar.

On Saturday September 8th, from 10am-1pm there’s a free family event at the Parkgate Community Centre that you simply have to add to your timetable.

The ‘Flow Show’ is the event highlight, offering a show of extreme mountain biking tricks using jumps, ramps and obstacles set up in the parking lot beside the Parkgate plaza. Will Stroet will take the main stage just before the celebratory cupcakes are distributed and a face painter and balloon artists will be on site during the entire event. Participants are encouraged to take transit or ride their bikes to the event. A free bike check and a bike decorating station will be available from 10am-1pm.

FREE FAMILY EVENT AT PARKGATE

Parkgate’s annual Family Day event began as a way to celebrate the opening of the Parkgate Community Centre and has grown into one of the North Shore’s favourite events, rain or shine. This year’s 13th annual celebration will be held in the plaza outside the Parkgate Community Centre at 3625 Banff Court. The beauty of this event is that it is the combined effort of Parkgate Community Services Society (PCSS), North Vancouver Recreation Commission (NVRC) and Seymour area local businesses and organizations who come together to sponsor entertainment components of the event.

PARKGATE COMMUNITY CENTRE

SKATEBOARD CAMPS AT PARKGATE

FILM

Chinese Roulette

RAINER Werner Fassbinder’s Chinese Roulette (1976), starring Anna Karina and Margit Carstensen, screens tonight at 8:30 p.m. at Pacific Cinémathèque as part of a major summer retrospective of the German filmmaker’s work.

SHOWTIMES From page 20 To Rome With Love (PG) — Fri 12:20, 2:50, 5:30, 8, 10:20; Sat, Thur 5:30, 8, 10:20; Sun-Wed 2:50, 5:30, 8:00, 10:20 p.m. Thur 1 p.m.

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

The Late, Great Rainer Werner Fassbinder (1945-1982) June marked the 30th anniversary of the untimely 1982 death of the great German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder.

Fassbinder’s is a cinema, and a life, of staggering extremes, stunning productivity, unparalleled accomplishment. He was both wunderkind and enfant terrible of the New German Cinema, and perhaps its leading luminary. Certainly, with Werner Herzog and Wim Wenders, a part of its great triumvirate. Many place Fassbinder at the peak of an even higher summit: the most important filmmaker of the postwar period since Godard. Over the summer Pacific Cinémathèque is screening 17 of his films during a major retrospective of his work.

Directed by Alfred Hitchcock: The Complete Works for Television, Two French Rarities, and Nine Sensational Masterpieces Almost always overlooked in retrospectives of Alfred Hitchcock’s directorial work are the many films Hitchcock directed for television in the seven years from 1955 to 1962, in the midst of what is almost certainly the greatest creative peak of his filmmaking career. Pacific Cinémathèque’s summer Hitchcock season, “Directed by Alfred Hitchcock,” offers an alternative look at the Master of Suspense’s work by shining a rare spotlight on all 20 of the films Hitchcock directed for TV, two French-language films commissioned by the British Ministry of Information in 1944 plus nine of his greatest masterpieces: The 39 Steps, Sabotage, Strangers on a Train, Rear Window, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Psycho, The Birds and Marnie.

Dance sequences mix styles

From page 20

needed edge, and to rebel against daddy, of course. “It’s a 50/50 chance we’re going to jail tonight,” Sean says, as their flash mob shuts down various Miami institutions. The sirens, conveniently, are always a few beats behind Their directive changes when Emily’s dad threatens to flatten their historic neighbourhood, including a Cuban club that’s a safe haven for the kids. “Enough with performance art… it’s time for protest art,” says Emily.

The dance sequences are a vibrant mix of styles, parlour and performance art, with the openers and the finale providing the best visual fun. Any attempt at dialogue is drowned out by a heavy-handed score.

Buzz for the film got a big boost after the entire cast performed on the 2012 Teen Choice Awards, and earlier, on So You Think You Can Dance. Parents take note: the dancing is hot, the kissing is chaste, and the 3D is unnecessary, so save the extra few bucks for snacks. Or dance lessons.

Reimer at his best directing musicals

From page 17

and children whose characters’ stories grab us right from the overture. With the full orchestra and ensemble on stage, Titanic is a titanic of a musical.

It opens with the boarding of the “ship of dreams.” Some of the passengers board the 1,000-foot floating city because they can afford to and want to appear to be embracing “the new world.” Others, like the three Kates (Jeannette Gibault, Alex Gullason and Michelle Bardoch), have come aboard as 3rd Class passengers to start a new life in what they believe is a “classless” America. One hopes to become a lady’s maid, the others a governess and a “sewing girl.”

Reimer, whose very first directorial gig at the Playhouse was the tremendously clever and entertaining The Drowsy Chaperone, is at his best when directing and choreographing musicals.

Titanic is no exception and this production wouldn’t be out of place on any “A” stage in the city. With the simplest of sets-ship’s railings that slide on and off-and projections of still photographs of the actual Titanic (exterior, salons, boiler room, etcetera), Reimer makes musical magic out of disaster.

It’s soon obvious why no one has brought this musical to town before: a cast of more than 40 and an orchestra of almost two dozen, under the musical direction of Capilano University’s Kevin Michael Cripps. With four exceptions (David Adams, Russell Roberts, Steven Greenfield and Alexander McMorran), all actors are non-professionals, all terrific. Many are Capilano University’s Musical Theatre or Acting for Stage and Screen graduates including Sayer Roberts and Alexander Nicoll as boiler room

Barrett and telegraph operator Bride respectively.

Along with Bardach and others, these three fine performers illustrate the excellent quality of Cap U’s training.

Titanic is not downhill all the way: “I had a wife once.” “What happened?” “Nothing.”

Sassy, irrepressible Kate McGowan (Bardach) can be counted on to bring levity with her announcement of marriage. Who are you marrying? she’s asked. “I’ll let you know when I meet him,” she replies with a sparkle in her eye.

And then there’s the old windbag who keeps going on about “godless hordes” he’s met on his travels and Alice Beane (Stefanie Swinnard), a Second Class passenger with First Class aspirations.

As the ship moves inexorably on to its date with the iceberg, Reimer shows us what a grand time everyone is having with romances, dances and fancy dining. Old marrieds Mr. and Mrs. Straus (David Adams and Deborah Allman) sing of their love for each other while Barrett sings of getting back to the girl he loves.

And the ship sails on.

As the temperature drops, the conflict between Captain E.J. Smith (Russell Roberts), the ship’s builder Thomas Andrews (Steven Greenfield) and the owner J. Bruce Ismay (Alexander McMorran) heats up. Faster, faster, Ismay demands while Barrett, down below in the boiler room, wonders why the captain is calling for top speed on the Titanic’s maiden voyage.

This musical about disaster in the North Atlantic is no South Pacific — and that’s a good thing in my book. Stanley Park couldn’t be a more beautiful setting and the weather couldn’t be better, either. It alternates throughout the summer with The Music Man, directed by Sarah Rodgers.

High times in the Heart of Dankness

particularly the mayor of Amsterdam, are saying, ‘You know we actually got the drug dealers off the streets here and if you ban tourists they’re just going to go buy from guys in the shadows along the canals.’

■ Heart of Dankness: Underground Botanists, Outlaw Farmers and the Race for the Cannabis Cup

by Mark Haskell Smith published by Broadway Books (256 pages).

John Goodman jgoodman@nsnews.com

WHILE Mark Haskell Smith was doing research for his novel Baked the Los Angeles Times made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.

photo Martin Rusch Learning that he was going to be attending the LOS Angeles writer Mark Haskell Smith introduces us to some of the major players Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam involved in global cannabis culture in his new book Heart of Dankness. they asked him if he would North Shore News: The similarities between wine and consider covering the world championship of weed for them as cannabis cultivation are striking. Growing cannabis has well and they would put his findings in their Calendar section. become a real art form in some parts of the world.

Accredited as a Times reporter Haskell Smith found his Mark Haskell Smith: Absolutely. That’s one of the things life was immediately that much easier. People who previously I wanted to show in the book. I talked to those growers in wouldn’t give him the time of day all of a sudden welcomed the Sierras and they’re actually talking about the soils. The him with open arms. His latest book — part gonzo journalism, rock has got some minerals that just add a flavour and we’re part anthropological study — takes us deep into cannabis at altitude so the plants have more CO2 coming to them culture and the Heart of Dankness. so they grow a little more robustly and because of the high altitude the sun is more intense so they grow more resin North Shore News: How hard was it to get access to the around the flowers and leaves because that’s a protective world you write about? thing that the plant does. I could have the same conversation Mark Haskell Smith: A lot of people in that world really liked with a vintner in France or the Napa Valley about how the that article. It was like my golden ticket into that world. The shale and the sea breeze make the Chardonnay superior. more time I spent with them the more they liked me and so they would open up even more and show me more stuff. That North Shore News: Indica is from cooler climates and sativa was the one lucky thing, I think, if I had just been some guy is from warmer regions. What level of cultivation is done saying, ‘Hey, I’m writing a book.’ ‘Yeah books. We don’t read indoors in greenhouses? books. We only talk to the High Times guys.’

Mark Haskell Smith: I think the majority of the high-end cultivation is all indoors. It’s one of the funny things about North Shore News: There’s a lot of grey areas involved in the prohibition. Critics are always saying, ‘Oh well, the pot’s various cannabis cultures. Different levels of government all not what you had when you were in college, it’s so much have their own ideas about how to handle things. stronger.’ Yeah, you know why it’s stronger is because you Mark Haskell Smith: Everywhere you look there’s some grey forced everybody to grow indoors where they can really area. It’s so interesting — like in Oakland, California — it’s control the environment and the nutrients and the plants can zoned where there are certain areas where marijuana use is the lowest priority for law enforcement and then the Feds swoop in express themselves fully. and say, ‘Hey, it’s our highest priority. Everyone’s under arrest.’

We’d go to these places in Oakland and people would be pretty North Shore News: Is California mainly outdoors? Does it differ from B.C. in that way? much openly smoking. They’re medical patients — that’s what Mark Haskell Smith: California is a mix. Even the guys makes it legal there — but not legal for the Feds. You get all I talked to, they do a big outdoor crop every summer but these problems you know where someone is legally growing they’ll have two or three indoor rooms going all year long. something in California or Colorado and under federal law it’s got mandatory minimums of like 10 years in prison.

North Shore News: Mexican cartels control California, local gangs dominate B.C. Has Amsterdam and Holland escaped North Shore News: Things seem to change all the time. much of the criminality because of its softer laws?

Governments come in and change the rules.

Mark Haskell Smith: I think so. You know there’s some Mark Haskell Smith: They change almost weekly. You can talk among the Dutch government about banning tourists have state law say one thing and then the city changes it and from buying cannabis in the coffeeshops and a lot of people then the local neighbourhood council will rezone.

North Shore News: Why are they thinking of changing the laws? Are Amsterdam’s laws different from the rest of the country because they’re talking about starting with coffee shops as private clubs outside Amsterdam.

Mark Haskell Smith: The genesis of this whole thing is that every Friday and Saturday night, in some of the small border towns, French and German tourists come over the border to stock up for the weekend and they cause huge traffic jams, and finally the people in those towns were like you know, ‘I can’t even go the local pub because the traffic is so bad.

It’s gridlock.’ So they decided they had to do something, and the outlying areas are more conservative traditionally, so they actually got this thing to go through but it’s just for a couple of little towns. But you know typical conservative overreach they decided let’s do this everywhere. Rotterdam and Amsterdam are like, ‘You know it’s a 400 million euro a year tax base for us so no we are not going do it.’ I’ve heard from some people who are very pessimistic who say it will and other people say it will but it won’t last long and other people are saying no it won’t ever go through. Or if it goes through it won’t be enforced.

North Shore News: Heart of Dankness really brings to life the different personalities involved in cannabis culture.

There is a marked difference between the Amsterdam and California people.

Mark Haskell Smith: Mainly because the Amsterdam people are totally legit. They’re businessmen, they pay taxes, they have employees, they have human resource people on their staff. They’re really able to explore what the plant can do and what combinations of genetics can do with impunity. In the States, and I’m sure it’s the same in Canada, you have to lay low and everything is secret. You don’t want to get arrested.

It just creates different kinds of personalities, I guess.

North Shore News: The Amsterdam guys seem scientific and urban while the California group are primarily rural.

Mark Haskell Smith: The guys in California are mountain men. It is more urban and science based in Holland. Because the government is involved they have a growing facility. They have pharmaceutical grade cannabis that doctors prescribe for people in addition to the coffeeshops. There’s people in California who are doing work that’s science-based or at least they’re trying to. There’s a place called Steep Hill Lab in Oakland that’s at the cutting edge of that stuff. Just to make sure that if you go into a dispensary with your medical recommendation you won’t get something that’s got pesticides or some sort of bad chemicals in it. What they do is they have new technology that analyzes cannabis really quickly. Like you will walk in with some bud and they will tell you how much THC it’s got, what some of the other cannabinoids are and if it’s got any pathogens, molds, mildews or chemical residues. They’re saying, ‘Look we’re treating this as a serious pharmaceutical herb and we want to guarantee safety for everyone. I think they are changing California a little bit.

North Shore News: Are they using the Amsterdam model?

Mark Haskell Smith: To a degree they are and the science is actually what a lot of people are doing in California and Colorado because it’s all medical, so OK you’ve got inflamed tendons and a pain in your lower back this will help you more because it’s got a high CBD which is an anti-inflammatory and this if you’re depressed you want a sativa because it will actually improve your mood. It will give you some energy. They’re really trying to dial in what different strains can do. There’s one strain if you’re starting to have an asthma attack you have a couple of puffs, it’s a bronchodilator. It seems counterintuitive but it actually can help.

North Shore News: In contrast Canada’s cannabis culture seems more fractured. Like Reeferman out in Moose Jaw. Mark Haskell Smith: Well, Reeferman you know had a really bad experience with the Canadian government. They threw him in jail and then he had to go to Colombia and Mexico but now he’s back. I don’t know if it’s because of the geography of the country but it seems like a lot of the top growers are in the B.C. area although there are some really good growers in Toronto too, and probably in Montreal as well, I just wasn’t exposed to them.

North Shore News: I don’t think you ever mention the name of the B.C. grower of Lavender in the book.

Mark Haskell Smith: I didn’t know his name and it would See Amsterdam page 34

MUSIC

SonReal feeling good about Good News Rapper coming into his own style on new tracks Nicholas M. Pescod Contributing Writer

WHEN Vancouver artist SonReal was a teenager performing hip-hop was something he did with his friends for fun. A little more than a decade later that fun has become a very promising music career.

“I started when I was about 15-years-old and at the start it was just a hobby,” SonReal says.

On Aug 4., SonReal, 26, will be performing at the 2012 Centre of Gravity festival in Kelowna. The three-day festival runs from Aug 3-5 and includes recognizable artists such as Lupe Fiasco, Chris Lake, Nero and Anjulie.

With his latest album Good News released this week, SonReal is looking forward to performing in the same lineup as one of his idol’s, Lupe Fiasco.

“There are some names there that I really respect,” SonReal says. “I am just going to go there and do what I do best.”

The album features top producers such as Arthur McArthur, Chin Injeti, and MoSS. McArthur has previously worked with Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne.

“This is my best stuff there is nothing really more I can say,” SonReal says. “It’s me growing, the singing is better the rapping is better my confidence is better.”

In 2008 SonReal released his first album titled Good Morning which garnered positive responses from hip-hop fans. Despite the reviews SonReal began to lose the passion he once had.

It took walking away from hip-hop entirely in early 2009 to realize how much he really loved it.

“I was working construction and I was trying to do the music thing but I wasn’t quite going for it . . . I was telling myself that music was what I wanted to do but I wasn’t actually going for it,” SonReal says. “One day I just kind of quit.”

The decision to leave music for good didn’t last very long and later that year SonReal released his second album The Stroll. The disc featured appearances from Eternia and Joe Scudda with production from Rich Kidd and DJ Crown.

“I realized that I quit because of fear and I was scared of following my dream,” SonReal says. “But I realized once I quit that the scariest thing ever is quitting because of something you know you can do. From that moment on I worked super hard.”

2010 turned out to be a very good year for the Vancouverite. He released The Lightyear Mixtape, an 18-track project that was recorded in four months. The mixtape included SonReal’s first hit single “Already There” featuring Rich Kidd.

“Already There” along with it’s music video went on to capture SonReal his first ever VideoFact Award and was added to the Much Music Top 30. The song was also nominated for Single of the Year at the 2011 Stylus Awards in Toronto.

“When I get an award I feel like wow people actually support me with what I am doing and it makes me just want to work harder,” SonReal says.

Songwriting has been the biggest improvement for him since his first album in 2008.

Following the release of The Lightyear Mixtape, SonReal released six music videos and in early 2011 he came out with a new mixtape Where’s Waldo?

That latter production received instant recognition and was nominated for Best Rap Recording at the 2011 Western Canada Music Awards. Waldo’s hit singles “Haunted” (featuring Ali Milner) and “She Gone” received extensive views from listeners around the world.

Within their first month online both videos had been viewed more than 100,000 times.

VANCOUVER hip-hop artist SonReal releases his new album Good News this week. The 15-track project features guest appearances from Rich Kidd, JD Era, Saigon, Rapper Big Pooh, Emilio Rojas and West Coast singer/songwriter Ali Milner.

According to SonReal, his biggest improvement since 2008 has been his songwriting ability.

“Starting out is the hardest thing,” he says.

“For one you don’t know your style . . . You don’t really know what you’re doing.”

He admitted that getting fans was challenging at first, but it’s not an issue for him anymore.

SonReal currently has over 14,000 likes on Facebook and more than 4,000 followers on Twitter.

“Just getting off the ground and getting fans is the hardest thing,” he adds.

Aside from his love for music and hip-hop SonReal has another passion, skateboarding.

“Skateboarding is what got me into music,” he says. “When I am not doing music, travelling or touring or whatever I am skateboarding with my friends in the park . . . Eric Koston and Paul Rodriguez those were my favourite skaters as a kid.”

Small Stage expanding to larger space

Series goes bigger for Peter Chu premiere ■ Dances For a Small Stage 26 & 27, The Legion on the Drive, Aug. 1-4. For more information visit www.movent.ca.

Rosalind Duane rduane@nsnews.com

FANS of the longrunning Dances for a Small Stage may notice something a little different this year: the small stage is getting bigger.

“What scares me right now is that I’m expanding the stage just a little bit,” says artistic producer Julie-anne Saroyan.

“It was just a logistical decision but now it feels like the right place to go.”

The 10-by-13-foot stage used for the show since its creation in 2002 has been expanded to 20-by-15 for this year’s show, but for a good reason.

Well-known dancer and choreographer Peter Chu is bringing the Canadian premiere of his show Nothing photo supplied Sticks and members of his acclaimed Las Vegas-based NORTH Vancouver dancer Karissa Barry (an instructor at the Vanleena Dance Academy) is one of the performers featured in Dances for a dance company to the first Small Stage at The Legion on the Drive Aug. 1-4. night of Dances for a Small Stage, a popular contemporary dance performance. Nothing Sticks 200 choreographers and dancers over the years, including Margie Gillis, Crystal Pite and many more.

Hip hop “I’m very excited,” says Saroyan of Chu’s participation, artist Kim Sato and her Project Soul Dance Crew will be on hand noting the smaller stages used in previous performances couldn’t for a pre-show performance. accommodate his production, so she agreed to add a bit of space.

Saroyan calls the dance offering a smorgasbord, with Chu and the artists that are performing with him are different many different styles represented over the years including than what audiences are used to seeing in Canada, notes Saroyan, From page 30 contemporary, traditional, hip hop and more. who has worked with Chu in the past at Kidd Pivot, dancer “I try to do a variety of dance that hopefully is appealing to a Crystal Pite’s company. have been hard for me to get permission.

Artist will talk about process From page 16 Northcott, whose works vary from painting and drawing to installation and video, is making her Harmony Arts Festival debut this year and is a featured artist in its visual arts component ArtSpeaks: Daily Art Programs.

Originally from North Vancouver, Northcott’s family moved to Langley when she was in high school. She has fond memories of growing up immersed in nature, playing in backyard creeks and wooded areas, and family vacations to Thormanby Island off the Sunshine Coast.

“We spent our whole summers there,” she says. “So being outside and making our own stuff and scouring the beaches and building forts and making sand castles and crab pavilions and things like that, it was just a joy.”

That early ingrained interest in the natural world led Northcott to begin studying to be a marine biologist, however, she eventually realized art was her true path and she started painting seriously in her late 20s. Now 58, she’s found a means of combining both passions — art and the great outdoors.

“I do combine that natural history and the scientist in me, or whatever that is. I use my self-description of an artist as license to study whatever I want to study in whatever way I want to study it,” she says.

Northcott has spent several years studying crow migration, butterfly metamorphosis, and bogs and wetlands. Her interest takes her all around the world; for example, she travelled to Costa Rica at one point to work on a butterfly farm and that’s what led her to Northern B.C. earlier this summer.

“It’s the connectivity that gets me going, observing something and learning something further from that observation,” she says. “I want to know how things work and I want to know what’s true. When I can figure something out, as a painting principle or as something in my life that comes together for me that I kind of understand all of a sudden or something that I observe in the world, when they start to loop together then that’s when I’m really, really happy. That’s what I’m looking for all the time.”

All of her experiences contribute to her creative process in different ways, either from stumbling upon similar images, for instance light through grass, seeing something beautiful, or a dream.

There’s a phrase she heard a couple of years ago that has stayed with her, an apt description of the way her inspiration is derived.

“It’s asking the question of what wants to happen so I have a sense that something wants to happen and that’s where I work from. . . . Things are stirring along at a subconscious level. Because of the commitment I’ve made to making creative work, that’s where my mind is turned.

Just as though if you were a screenwriter, your ear would be turned to dialogue. If you were a scientist trying to crack a code of some sort, your mind would be turned to that. . . .

My artwork or my making of creative work and my life are completely intertwined and so I don’t sort of sit down and think, ‘Okay what am I going to paint?’ I never do that.

It’s just all me trying to live in alignment with some kind of creative muse that’s stirring away.”

Northcott’s demonstration, entitled Painting the Nest, a reference to her nest series, at the Harmony Arts Festival is set for Saturday, Aug. 4, from 3 to 5 p.m. in the ArtSpeaks Tent.

She promises it will be a collaborative session.

“It’s not a teaching situation where I’m saying this is what you do. It gives me a platform to talk about all the things that are important to me and rave on, which seems to be important to me, and then it gives me an opportunity to listen and to be witness to other people’s growth and commitment and beauty,” she says.

She plans to show how she puts things together and makes decisions, and offer insight into how she lifts off from one medium to another and will work with some mixed media, using acrylics and drawing media, potentially throwing in some photo-based work.

Being an art educator is a role she takes great pleasure in.

“It’s like being with your people, surrounding yourself with people that are excited by the things that you’re excited by,” she says. “Each of these people, very often women, bring their life experience and they bring their humour and they bring their generosity to the situation. It winds up being a really, really rich experience. My point as an instructor, I sometimes call the workshop ‘Doing your own work.’ So the idea is that I want to teach the way that I care about painting.

I want to teach about getting at your own particular voice and using your voice and knowing your voice and having some sort of conviction that that’s interesting and important.

I get to be a midwife or a witness to person after person after person connecting to that. So it’s thrilling to me.”

THE Acura ZDX challenges traditional thinking about what’s a coupe, sports sedan or SUV. A few styling tricks give it the appearance of a coupe, but at its heart it’s a trendy alternative to the boring old SUV.

Columnist Brendan McAleer reviews the 2013 Cadillac ATS in next week’s Rev.

WHEN baby boomers no longer need minivans and SUVs after their kids have grown up and moved away, what do they look for?

First, they need something new and different — something that tells others that they carve a unique spot in life despite “getting older.” Second, they want something practical, just in case they need to haul some sports equipment or just want extra space for carrying friends and family members. Finally, they want something that does not cry “family-oriented.”

BMW has successfully launched such a product in the form of the X6, and Acura hopes to capture the same kind of customers but with a much lower price point. Infiniti has done something

sportier handling feel. Up to 90 per cent of torque can instantly be transferred to the front wheels when needed. A torquevectoring feature kicks in while cornering or accelerating and can re-direct up to 100 per cent of axle torque to either rear wheel, which further enhances the ZDX’s handling dynamics.

Some changes have been incorporated for 2012, such as the Technology Package which is now standard.

This adds perforated Milano leather upholstery, a navigation system with voice recognition, eight-inch LED colour display, a rear-view camera, headlamp washers, a 10-speaker audio system, dualzone climate control, Bluetooth handsfree phone service and keyless access plus push-button ignition.

A biweekly roundup of automotive news, good, bad and just plain weird: Lamborghini builds 1,000th Aventador.

Fifteen months in and Lamborghini is celebrating a significant milestone for their flagship V-12 supercar: the 1,000th Aventador just rolled off the line. This particular prancing bull is Argos Orange and bound for Bavaria, where it will be parked beside a Diablo in an enthusiasts’ garage.

Why is this important?

Well, it took the Murcielago almost nine years to sell a little more than 4,000 cars, and here’s its replacement almost a quarter of the way there after a little more than a year.

Good news everyone! This whole financial crisis is clearly nonsense. And environmental troubles? Not a bit of it: if V-12, 691 horsepower bright orange hypercars are flying off the shelves, everything

similar with its FX series and others are following the same footsteps too.

Built on its MDX utility platform, Acura created a sleek four-door coupe body that challenges traditional thinking of what’s a coupe, a sports sedan or a utility vehicle.

Being based on a utility vehicle, the ZDX can easily handle the rough road trip to the cottage or any “off-thebeaten-path” destination. Yet, it also offers a sporty drive when unleashed on a paved road.

Powering the ZDX is a responsive 300-horsepower, 3.7-litre VTEC V-6 engine that’s mated to six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters at the steering wheel. Selecting the transmission’s “S” mode provides a more dynamic shift pattern and doubleshifts can be made with the paddles.

The normal torque bias for Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system is to the rear wheels, which gives it a

Stylish ZDX offers value From page 48

in California and based on original sketches by Michelle Christensen.

The coupe-like appearance of the ZDX is pulled off by enlarging the front doors and concealing the rear door handles in the window frame. The styling lines are the sharpest of any Acura and a unique stamping process called “deep-draw” was necessary to fabricate the rear quarter panels.

The upper cabin is tapered to the rear (from an overhead view) and the all-glass, sharply raked roof tops a curvaceous body with boldly flared fenders that give the back-end a wide, muscular look. Acura’s signature “floating” grille is surrounded by a honeycombdesign air opening.

Unfortunately, access to the back seats is extremely limited and going in-out of the rear may cost you a bump on your head.

Handling Despite being a MDXbased car, the ZDX handles well — even better than the already acclaimed MDX itself. Slightly sharper, firmer, and more focused than the MDX, the car tracks straight and brings decent road feel throughout the different driving range.

The ZDX is a fairly heavy vehicle that weighs in at 2,007 kilograms (4,427 pounds) and comes with a superb and appropriately named Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system. This allows the ZDX to almost magically find grip in treacherous corners and was most impressive in the extremely wet weather conditions experienced during our time at the wheel. The 3.7-litre V-6 engine is a silky smooth power provider that has very good torque in the mid to upper end of its speed range. It can propel the ZDX to 100 kilometres per hour in about seven seconds.

On the down side, city fuel consumption numbers are on the high side and it likes premium fuel.

Safety The ZDX achieved top five-star ratings in crash tests performed by the U.S.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and a four-star rollover rating. An electronic stability system called Vehicle Stability Assist is standard and it also comes with airbag rollover protection, hill start assist and active front seat head restraints.

Interior The interior is sporty and luxurious, while retaining a unique look distinct from the MDX model.

“Futuristic” comes to my mind. The instrument panel is completely blank until the ignition is switched on and then the electroluminescent gauges appear in an impressive choreographed display.

A power-operated tilt and telescopic steering wheel is another bit of standard luxury and it also has an easy entry/exit feature. Those drivers who like to see the end of the hood while driving, however, may be disappointed and driver rear vision, even with the secondary lower back window, is also somewhat restricted. While seating is provided for up to five, the ZDX was conceived as a personal escape vehicle for two adults. It’s a design that’s clearly focused on pampering the front seat occupants and it also allows them to bring along considerably more cargo than a conventional coupe allows.

A power operated (open/close) rear liftgate is standard. The cargo area is fully carpeted and additional storage can be found in a large under-floor compartment. Removable side panels also allow golf bags to fit crosswise.

Challenge The only challenge is that the ZDX is not well appreciated in the marketplace (just look at their sales figures on this model), making this model a truly niche vehicle.

The main issue is that people don’t exactly know what this car stands for: is it a sporty SUV, a five-door cross-over, or just fancy looking five-door luxury hatchback? The ZDX is none of these, of course, but people are not aware of that in the first glance

at the car or even after a brief test drive. Once buyers understand the real intent of this car — it is a sporty, trendy alternative to today’s boring SUVs — they might appreciate the car much more.

With pricing changes and added standard equipment, we might even say that the ZDX is a good value, which wasn’t the case when it first came out a few years back.

THE word futuristic comes to mind when describing the ZDX’s luxurious and unique interior.

Svelte and speedy Miata looking to get even slimmer

A treasure trove of essential automotive quick hits:

Drawing board 2014 Mazda MX-5 Miata: It might not look significantly different, but the world’s most popular sports car is set to drop some of its 1,110kilogram-weight and receive one of Mazda’s new SkyActiv powerplants. Rumour has it the engine will be downsized to 1.8 from 2.0 litres and have a bit less power that the current version. Then again, rumours of a smaller-displacement turbocharged four-cylinder refuse to die. Whatever decision is made, Mazda isn’t likely to remove any of the roadster’s fun-loving attitude.

Auto trivia ■ The first North Americanproduced automobile fitted with a diesel engine was the 1929 Packard.

■ In 1980, Canadians Gary Sowerby and Ken Langley circumnavigated the world in just 77 days. The car they used for this unique adventure was a Volvo 245 wagon.

Who am I? To guess his secret identity, read the following clues.

1) He was born in1934, in Whitney, S.C. 2) He either won or finished second to Richard Petty in 63 stock-car races.

3) In 1999, Sports Illustrated named him “Driver of the Century.”

4) Fans usually saw him driving “Blue Oval” stock cars with number 21 painted on the doors.

5) Because of his sly driving style, he earned the nickname Silver Fox. Still stumped?

His name is David Pearson and he’s one of only a few drivers to have won the Daytona 500, Winston 500, Coca-Cola 600 and Southern 500 What’s up, auto doc?

Tired of throwing away paper air filters when they became clogged, the AutoDoc switched all the vehicles in the Wheelbase Media fleet — from muscle cars to work trucks — to K&N high-flow air filters.

Aside from the potential of more power due to a lower air restriction, you never have to throw one away when it gets dirty, which ultimately saves you money in the long run and fewer paper filters end up in landfills. While all that sounds good, it doesn’t mean a K&N filter, or a similar competing brand for that matter, will last forever without cleaning.

Out of sight and out of mind, right? So how do you clean an air filter? Simple. K&N sells a kit that comes with a spray cleaner and new air-filter oil (which traps incoming dirt).

When to perform this maintenance depends on where you drive, but inspect every 40,000 kilometres and expect to do a cleaning every 80,000 km. The interval is much longer than that of a

standard paper filter, which might actually make cleaning your K&N hard to remember, so write the inspection date

on the filter when you install it and check K&N’s Web site, www.knfilters.com, for cleaning specifics. Share your

tips with the Auto Doc at www.shiftweekly.com using the contact form. eBay watch

DAI HYUNN TAGE

THE

IN honour of the Olympic games starting today, a 1957 double decker bus was fitted with two giant, articulated arms that allow it to do push-ups.

place in my heart where the Fit, er, fits. It’s a lovely little people-moving pod and, with the smartest-folding seats in the business, can be reconfigured to haul pretty much anything.

It’s efficient too, but not efficient enough for some. To suit those who’d rather have their rides sipping electrons instead of gasoline, Honda’s developed a Fit that’s batterypowered. Last week, they delivered the first one to its new owners in California.

I should say “owners,” really, because the Fit EV is available only through a leasing program. For a little less than $400 per month, some California and Oregon residents will get their hands on the electric Honda, which sacrifices a little of that rear seat magic to make space for the battery.

While you may not be able to get one here — yet — it’s interesting to note that Honda, like Toyota, is electrifying some of their vehicles, rather than launching a stand-alone offering like the Nissan Leaf.

Here, Honda is favouring a cautious, slow and steady approach over leading the charge. Oh. I just made a rather terrible pun there.

Audi opens digital showroom In the showroom of the past, you wandered in to see the teal, fuschia and burntorange cars on display, none of them in the spec-level or trim that you’re actually interested in. Then, a guy dressed like Herb Tarlek would wander over and try to browbeat you into buying a Pinto.

These days, much has changed. Showrooms are now open and airy, with plenty of glass-front. But it’s just not possible to keep every model in stock, especially the more popular ones. Audi’s come up with a solution.

What better way to browse

than in a store filled with giant touchscreens that allow you to build your customoptioned model, tilt and swirl the car around in perfectlyrendered 3D. Couldn’t this all be done at home on your PC? Well . . . yes actually, it could. However, Audi’s London-based digishowroom also has product experts on hand to help out with questions. And none of them are allowed to wear technicolour sportcoats.

London bus does push-ups Think of jolly old England, and you can’t help but cast your mind to thoughts of red phone boxes and doubledecker buses and soldiers in silly pointy hats that cover their eyes. With the London Olympic opening ceremonies just around the corner, some of those stereotypes are being dusted off. And modified.

How about this one? A 1957 Double-decker bus with two giant articulated arms.

And it does push-ups.

Built to celebrate the athletic events soon to take place, it’s a fun (if a little weird) way to showcase cool Britannia.

Carroll Shelby finally rests As if Carroll Shelby’s passing wasn’t sad enough, his remains have been involved in a bizarre tug of war amongst the members of his family. Not literally, obviously.

Carroll wished to be cremated and his ashes divided amongst his children — or so they say. His surviving wife claims that she has a document giving sole control over Carroll’s ashes to her. Then, the lawyers got involved.

Both sides are now near settlement with Shelby’s remains divided into five parts to be shared out among his family. Personally, I’d like to think Carroll would like to have had his ashes scattered across the Bonneville Salt Flats, strewn out behind a speeding 427 Cobra.

HERE’S what’s new and hot in the aftermarket market: Food from the big wheel Here’s the perfect accessory to add to your man (or woman) cave, or Garage Mahal. The Tire Bowl is an amazingly realistic reproduction of a custom wheel and tire combination and is ideal for serving and preserving your favorite snack foods. The tire’s grippylooking rubberized tread looks a bit over the top (kind of like serious truck or off-road rubber), while the chromelook snap-on lid resembles an aftermarket alloy wheel. The container is 15 centimetres in diameter by 6.5-centimetres deep. The Tire Bowl sells in the US$20 range and can be purchased through a number of online resellers, including www.amazon.com and www. perpetualkid.com.

Also included is a racing-style seat and safety harness. So why spend US$2,800 on fitness equipment when you could be having the time of your life on a really fun exerciser. Get the low-down at www.bergtoys. com/pedal-kart/1240.
