Big debate at seniors home hearing Many see Edgemont plan as out of scale Jeremy Shepherd jshepherd@nsnews.com

A seniors complex proposed for Edgemont Village is a misplaced, monolithic structure that would dominate the one-storey ranchers on its perimeter, according to a majority of speakers at a public hearing Tuesday. Some 200 Capilano area residents packed a humid Highlands United Church for a four-hour public hearing to sing the praises and list the faults of the proposed 125unit, three-storey seniors centre. Operated by BayBridge Senior Living, the complex is proposed for Canfield Crescent near Woodbine Drive and Highland Boulevard, just adjacent to the commercial core of Edgemont Village. Built around a courtyard, Edgemont Senior Living would include approximately 17 assisted-living units and 12 NEWS photo Kevin Hill to 15 care rooms for seniors with mental health problems APPROXIMATELY 200 Capilano-area residents listen to speakers at a public hearing Tuesday for a proposal to build a 125-unit, such as dementia. three-storey seniors centre adjacent to Edgemont Village.

City wants say on Lucas Centre plans Council wants report on site’s public use options Brent Richter brichter@nsnews.com

CITY of North Vancouver council is putting the North Vancouver school board on notice. It doesn’t want to see the school district-owned lands and facilities of the Lucas Centre be sold off to developers without ﬁrst considering the options of keeping them for public use.

The school board voted at its May board meeting to pay for a consultant with land management planning expertise to lead a public process ending with the likely sale of Cloverley school and the five-hectare Lucas Centre site at Hamilton and 21st Street. Council passed a resolution on June 17 asking staff to prepare a report on methods of preserving the Lucas Centre as a community sports field/park complex. The city resolution came at the request of Coun. Rod Clark. “At some moment in time in the not-toodistant future, we are going to get an application with respect to redevelopment of those properties,” said Clark, adding that the Lucas Centre and surrounding field and buildings have been in the public trust for many years, and remain important to community recreation. “I think now is the moment in time to do it as opposed to waiting for an application to be on our doorstep.” The Lucas Centre contains one grass sports field next to two city-owned all-season fields. Clark suggested the location would be perfect for childcare space. Clark’s motion found support with the majority on council, though not by a lot. Coun. Linda Buchanan argued the school board has been very open and consultative in

THE North Vancouver board of education has agreed to hire a consultant to stickhandle development options for the school district’s ﬁve-hectare Lucas Centre site at Hamilton Avenue and 21st Street. City of North Vancouver council wants its own report on public-use options. the process of selling or leasing unused school property, and that the city has a place in the consultation already. “I don’t see the need to intercede in a process that they are working on, and they are taking steps to work with our staff. They are the landowners so they are going about the process like any other landowner does,” Buchanan said. “They have a process in place and I think we need to respect that.” But Coun. Don Bell warned that the sale of any municipal asset should be deeply considered by the whole community ﬁrst. “Once they’re gone, they’re gone and it may be appropriate that they go, but there needs to be really good discussion,” he said. “I think this is

an appropriate early step to have that discussion, have a staff report now so we can at least have a consideration of what some of the options are from the city’s point of view, not necessarily the school board’s point of view.” Couns. Buchanan and Craig Keating and Mayor Darrell Mussatto voted against the motion. While consulting ﬁrms will have to bid for the job, and the exact duties and timeline will still have to be deﬁned. Superintendent John Lewis said the board expects the cost be more than $100,000 for 18 to 24 months of work. But, Lewis added, that cost must be considered in context. “The fees to assist that planning process

would be a very small percentage of the total value of the land,” he said Lewis said he was aware of council’s motion and not concerned by it, as the board’s consultant will be tasked with working with the city to make sure whatever happens with the site is in step with the city’s ongoing OCP review. “I think that conforms with discussions that we’ve been having in relation to our properties and we want to look at the beneﬁt that could be coming available to the community,” said Lewis. “We have to consider the broad context and we also have to look at what potential ﬁnancial return there is for the school district to ensure that we’re also receiving value for assets within the community.”

Community recreation

District unveils design for William Grifﬁn Anne Watson newsroom@nsnews.com

THE ﬁrst designs have been unveiled for the new William Grifﬁn community recreation centre.

graphic District of North Vancouver

A digital illustration of the preliminary design for the new William Grifﬁn community recreation centre features lots of glass.

Complete Howe Sound plan wanted From page 1 closed in 1974, plus a chlor-alkali plant at the head of Howe Sound that discharged mercury into the sound up until 1970, and two pulp mills that released vast amounts of toxic dioxin and furan pollution until regulations were tightened in the 1990s. Studies show Howe Sound still has a higher concentrations of pollutants than the Strait of Georgia. After government moved to clean up some of the worst pollution, in recent years Howe Sound has shown signs of environmental recovery. Sightings of white-sided dolphins and transient killer whales are once again being made in the sound. Simons said that makes it even more

important that potential impacts of future industry on Howe Sound be carefully weighed. She said her group would like to see a comprehensive plan for the sound, so that projects are examined based on cumulative impacts, rather than assessed in isolation. “A lot of people in North Van and West Van come to Howe Sound for recreation and peace,” because it’s a relatively close area for boaters, campers and kayakers, said Simons. Many also send their kids to children’s camps around Howe Sound. The marine rendezvous on Sunday will feature banners and speakers at the yacht club outstations near the rally. A number of boats are expected to leave from Horseshoe Bay for the event.

The facility will be an approximately 84,000square-foot, three-level, largely glassed-in building and will include features such as a 25-metre pool, fitness areas, arts and crafts workshops and meeting spaces. The designs were unveiled at an open house on Thursday evening by the District of North Vancouver and North Vancouver Recreation Commission. Allison Rzen, chairwoman of the rec commission, said the new facility makes use of space and offers more room for the public. “Key changes would be a better leisure pool component,” said Rzen, adding the pool would meet the needs of a variety of users, including seniors and families. Rzen said she feels the new facility is more of a “community centre than just a recreation centre.” Changes from the previous centre also include more fitness areas and a community kitchen. “There is much more generous leisure area than what’s existing,” said Gary Houg, manager of maintenance and engineering services with the commission. Cathy Matheson, manager of marketing and administration for the commission, said the current William Griffin community recreation centre and the Delbrook community recreation

centre have been combined into one and include some unique amenities in the aquatic areas, including the leisure pool and universal change rooms. “It’s a building that is beautifully integrated into the site,” said Matheson. “It feels right to scale.” Matheson said the new facility has a “nicely integrated flow” from the indoor space to outdoors and “circulation around the site has improved,” such as pick-up and drop-off areas. Matheson added the new centre would include underground parking, lots of green space and the “integration of lifts in the pool.” There has been debate about the City and District of North Vancouver pitching in on an Olympic-sized 50-metre pool, but Mayor Richard Walton said this site “was too small to begin with.” “The recommendation was to build what the broader community could use,” said Walton. Walton said the centre is on budget so far, but “final numbers will be tweaked.” The design of the building does have some cost cutting factors, including its south-facing windows that Walton said could save on electricity. “It’s very West Coast,” he said. As for the fate of Delbrook community centre, Walton said the closing date would not be for a number of years. “The intent is to build the rec centre before we decide what to do with Delbrook,” said Walton. The current William Griffin community centre will close in December, with construction slated to begin early next year and the opening of the new facility set for spring or summer of 2016.

Seniors support home proposal From page 1

“I would love to have a hardware store in Edgemont Village . . . however I wouldn’t want to see a hardware store called Home Depot,” said Delany. The building would equal the square footage of four neighbouring businesses, according to Delany, who said the project “just too big.” His opinion is a contrast to the view of Mike McMaster, the owner of the Bakehouse in Edgemont Village, who praised the project as an opportunity to add vitality to the neighbourhood. “I know they exist, but I can’t imagine a merchant not wanting this to be here,” he said. Monthly rents at the facility would range from about $3,000 per month for a studio unit to $5,500 for a two-bedroom unit. Those prices, which include meals, would exclude many local seniors, according to Megan Smith. “My own parents could never afford to live there,” she said. While there were exceptions, the disagreement seemed to skew between age groups, with most of the support for the project coming from seniors. “It’s payback time,” said Cy Morgan, who has lived in the neighbourhood for 56 years. “I feel the community owes this project to the seniors.” The project will free up housing in the neighbourhood as seniors gravitate to the centre, according to Morgan. “There is a demand for this project in this area, so let’s get on with it.” The project offers council an opportunity to bring a greater variety of housing to the neighbourhood, according to Margo Long. “It seems big because almost nothing ever gets built in Edgemont,” she said. The centre will deplete the neighbourhood’s dwindling housing stock while robbing the area of its village charm, according to some speakers. James Walsh blamed council for the lack of diversity among neighbourhood shops. That lack of variety is damaging Edgemont Village, he said. “Let’s try not to kill it altogether by putting in a big monster,” Walsh said. “The huge commercial venture will negatively affect our quiet neighbourhood in many irreversible ways,” agreed Barb Gerlach, who noted the high taxes paid by local residents. “We have come to accept this costly exchange for the peace and safe community and the quaintness of Edgemont Village. This proposal is jeopardizing all that we invested in our community.” Besides contravening the ofﬁcial community plan, the project contravenes common sense by removing single-family homes only

two blocks from Highlands elementary, according to Gerlach. The inclusion of 59 underground parking stalls is likely not enough, according to several of the project’s detractors. However, council should not put much weight on concerns about parking problems on nearby streets, according to Brian Platts. “That battle is lost,” he said. The building’s mass is necessary, argued Platts, who said a critical mass of units is necessary for the project to be economically viable. The project’s square footage is essential to offer a compelling lifestyle to seniors, according to Doug Regelous of Edgemont Senior Living. Out of a total of 103,000 square feet, approximately 18,000 square feet consist of common areas and space for activities, he said. No decision has been reached by council, but the opposition from 20 of the 35 speakers have likely made the project a tougher sell. Speaking at a May council meeting, Coun. Mike Little said he’d need to see strong support for the project before voting to alter the village’s footprint. “The threshold of community support that I’m expecting is very high,” he said.

The red menace S

OMETHING startling happened in Ottawa this week while the rest of us were busy not caring about who won the Stanley Cup. Fifteen Conservative senators broke ranks with their notoriously whipped party and voted to gut a piece of Tory legislation. If passed as-is, the bill would force every union to publicly disclose all of its salaries and expenses. This would be the same senate currently embroiled in an expense scandal. Maybe it’s because they were feeling the heat from some of their rookie cohorts who have been caught double dipping into hundreds of thousands of dollars and then having the Prime Minister’s Ofﬁce run interference for them. Perhaps the hypocrisy was simply too much for the senators to bear. But the fact that they did it shows

something important: the Senate might possibly have relevance. As it is right now, the Senate is made up largely of people who carried sufﬁcient amounts of water for the Liberal and Conservative parties in order to deserve a red velvet seat for life, a taxpayer pension that would make Bay Street blush, and access to a loosely guarded public purse. The argument in favour of abolishing the senate seems to forget the Red Chamber is there to review and improve every bit of legislation our government would pass. Reform? Sure. Maybe it is time to ﬁll the senate with people who are elected on a proportional representation system. Make the senate more accountable? Absolutely. Abolish it? Maybe not if it continues to show independent thought.

Thanks for the good death, LGH

Dear Editor: My dear friend, the poet, writer and ﬁlmmaker Meg Torwl, passed away yesterday evening at the age of 46, on the palliative care ward at Lions Gate Hospital after a long battle with cancer. Due to circumstance, Meg was put into a shared room when she arrived and her condition was too delicate for a move to hospice. Though her wish had been to die at home, the team on the palliative ﬂoor was superb in helping us navigate the untimely and unfortunate passing of our loved Meg. When it was necessary to move her, it was done with utmost care and attention to her level of pain and discomfort. As we sat taking turns sitting with Meg, reading to her and holding her hand, we were offered coffee, tea and toast, and

knowing hugs. The nurses delicately explained to us the stages of the dying process; one of the nurses sat and told us that sometimes the spirit waits until there is no one in the room to take its leave. When Meg’s spirit did depart, our spiritual request to not have her body moved for a certain amount of time was lovingly granted, and a nurse hung a butterﬂy in the room-— “A symbol of transition,” she said, “So she can spread her wings.” It’s easy to place blame or complain about hospital care, overcrowding, and tired medical staff, especially when facing a loved one’s end of life, but our last hours with our Meg were as cushioned and buoyed with support as if she had died at home, in her own bed. Even at the

very end, our nurse put her hand to her heart and thanked us for allowing her to be part of the process. While we waited for the elevator down to our new world, the one without our beloved Meg in it, a passing nurse gave my friend’s partner a big hug, looked into her eyes and said, “You had a good death.” Rick Hanson, one of my favourite teachers of the human condition, writes that positive experiences slip off us like Teﬂon, while negative ones stick to us like Velcro. Though we lost our Meg last night, it’s the positive experience we had on the seventh ﬂoor palliative ward that will turn our loss into a positive memory; one that won’t ever slip away from us.

Soccer moms should stop practising for hill climb

Dear Editor: Regarding Brendan McAleer’s June 14 column, Honda Builds Racer Fit for Fastest Soccer Moms: How timely, this article stating that the Honda Odyssey is entered in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. That must be why I was almost run down trying to walk across a lane in Edgemont Village around noon the next day. The vehicle was a red Honda Odyssey van going full throttle down the lane entering Highland Boulevard, driven by what appeared to be your basic “soccer mom” — two kids in the back, (seat belts fastened, no doubt). Didn’t even turn her head as she whipped past me, oblivious to

the fact that I was even there, let alone had the right-of-way. Not even when I yelled to her female passenger, “Excuse me! I’m trying to cross.” She just kept on going. But now I get it — she must have been practising for the Pike Peak Hill Climb! Though it would appear by her total disregard for anyone in her way that she doesn’t need the practice. But then again, maybe she does — there’s lots of competition, if the way some moms in vans and SUVs drive around the North Shore these days is any indication. Kathryn Holmes North Vancouver

Negativity of Grosvenor supporters divisive

Dear Editor: I am disappointed that Coun. Bill Soprovich cast the deciding vote for advancing Grosvenor’s development application for the 1300-block Marine Drive at the June 17 council meeting. I am even more disappointed at the lack of coherent rationale he provided for doing so. Most disappointing of all though is the way the process has divided the community on a project that would have had overwhelming support if issues regarding height and density had been addressed. Those who voiced concern about the massive and precedent setting density proposed were branded as NIMBYs, naysayers, negative, afraid of change, stuck in the past and charged with hiding behind petitions and utilizing “semantics and details of the design review committee as a delay tactic.” How regrettable supporters felt the need to disparage Ambleside residents, rather than sticking to reasons why they like this development. Ambleside store owners and the chamber of commerce who roundly applauded these comments would do well to remember it is these very residents who patronize your businesses. It seems enthusiasm for the anticipated throngs of new customers this development is expected to draw trumps courtesy and common sense. Melinda Slater West Vancouver

Can Dix and the NDP survive his campaign?

THE province’s MLAs take their place in the legislature this week, and 34 of them come back into the house with a giant dark cloud hovering over them.

Those would-be members of the new NDP caucus, a dispirited and demoralized bunch who will put their best faces forward and insist they will perform as an aggressive, responsible Opposition ready to hold the government’s feet to the ﬁre. But how they perform in the legislature masks the fact the party faces a grim political reality. The party has a serious leadership problem, as leader Adrian Dix’s hold on the job is far from secure. Dix has said he takes “full responsibility” for the stunning election loss. What that actually means has not yet been made clear.

View from the Ledge Keith Baldrey

If he tries to hang on to his job he will face a test at the party’s convention in November, when delegates will vote on whether there should be a leadership election. I suspect he will need the backing of at least 70 per cent of the delegates to continue on with any credibility, and if the vote were held today I doubt he would receive that level of support.

Dix may want to review his party’s remarkable record for vicious inﬁghting when it comes to party leadership. In 1986, some members of the NDP caucus staged an unsuccessful coup against then-leader Bob Skelly, who was perceived as someone who could not compete with Bill Vander Zalm in that year’s election. Skelly’s successor, Mike Harcourt, resigned after he was essentially deserted by his own caucus when the Bingogate scandal engulfed his party. The next leader, Glen Clark, was in trouble with some members of his own caucus even before the casino scandal forced him from the premier’s ofﬁce. The subsequent leadership race to replace Clark was a bitter clash between Ujjal Dosanjh and Gordon Wilson, and the anger associated with that race was heightened because the 2001 election was

a foregone conclusion and the party was about to be booted from power. Then, of course, there was the remarkable take-down of Carole James. It appeared the divisions within the caucus that were created by that crisis had healed, but I have to wonder whether the election loss and questions about Dix’s leadership will rip open those wounds. Given that every party leader between Dave Barrett and Dix faced some kind of internal revolt, it is hard to see how Dix will avoid the same treatment, although whether he survives that inﬁghting remains to be seen. Further troubling the New Democrats is what appears to be a fundamental philosophical split in the party. As I wrote in this space a few weeks ago, the split was revealed in the middle of the election campaign when Dix suddenly declared his dead-set

Clicker complications lead to unwanted bill

Dear Editor: I am a grandmother, OK? I am not very good at technical stuff. On a few occasions I have pressed the wrong button on my remote. Bad!! This is a deﬁnite no-no apparently. Once in the “video on demand” section on my TV, it is very hard to get out of it. I pressed Exit and OK and several other buttons, to no avail. It has happened a few times and on one occasion I

had to call one of my sons to get out of it and back to my TV. Yesterday, I did it again. After calling my service provider, the very helpful lady told me what to do, if it ever happens again. I wrote down her instructions, so it won’t. However, when I received my bill later yesterday morning I noticed a charge of $4.99 for the video on demand section. When I called them, I was told that due to my being in

that section for nine minutes, I have to pay for the video, which I did not watch. I am more of a reader than a moviegoer and in fact only watch re-runs on TV, but to the best of my knowledge there is not one single movie out there that runs for nine minutes. I am a tad miffed, actually, as I think it would be good customer service to overlook my mistake, given that I am a good paying customer, who

opposition to the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline. One of the reasons the NDP lost the election is because that opposition to a large industrial project may well have cost it seats outside of Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island. By aligning itself with the environmental lobby, the party may marginalize itself and conﬁne its support to the city of Vancouver, a few suburbs and the Island. This problem doesn’t end with Kinder Morgan. If the NDP decides it is against things like fracking, the Site C dam and LNG terminals, it will further cement its image as an anti-job party not interested in economic development. Such a development would be hugely ironic. The NDP traces its roots to the old CCF party, which was a labouroriented party which fought for the interests of those

working in industries such as forestry and mining. But the party is drifting away from workers in those industries and towards environmentalists and public sector unions. We may indeed be headed to a realignment of our two major parties. Perhaps B.C. will eventually have an environmental party and a business party, with minor parties around the edges. But such a scenario may be a ways off yet. In the meantime, the NDP has to carry on with that giant black cloud hanging over its head, while the B.C. Liberals can’t stop smiling about receiving an unexpected new lease on life from the voters. Broadening those smiles is the knowledge that their wounded opponents have leadership issues and policy differences. Lucky for the NDP the session will only be a month long.

Causeway safety barrier possible Brent Richter brichter@nsnews.com

CYCLING advocates have won a small victory for North Shore bicycle commuters who cross the Stanley Park Causeway.

The Vancouver Park Board voted Monday night to begin looking at options for heightened safety measures on the causeway, including a potential barrier to separate the sidewalk/ bike path from the busy roadway. Advocacy group HUB has been lobbying the park board, the City of Vancouver and the province, which has conduct of the road, for a barrier since a 61-year-old North Vancouver woman died when she fell from her bike into traffic on the Causeway in May. Heather Drugge, a member of HUB North Shore, welcomed the news. “The vast majority of people who ride through the causeway are definitely North Shore people,” she said. “It sounded to me like what they were saying was they’re fairly positive on it and they’re going to take some interim immediate steps and then they’re going to take a longer-term view. I think those are both positive things.” Drugge rides the causeway on her commute home from work every day and says the narrow path along the road is rife for conflicts between users, especially during the busy and dangerous rush hour. “I’m super slow, so I always feel like I’m in the way. If there’s a pedestrian and I’m super slow and someone’s trying to pass me, that’s like triple trouble. If there’s no space for anybody to avoid each other, you basically just have to slow down,” she said. Pedestrians on the causeway also tend to be tourists who aren’t aware the scenic path is also a commuter route. The park is also in need of some minimal safety measures where the Lions Gate Bridge ends and cyclists must make their way onto the pathway by crossing an uncontrolled intersection. “I keep expecting to hear that that’s where a cyclist has been hit. When I go across there, I make a big show and I point, but because of the way the angles are, it’s very difficult to know whether there’s traffic,” she said.

TSN loses late-night laughs

ONE of the great strokes of luck in my life was having parents who couldn’t stay up late.

They also shared three other crucial possessions: delightful senses of humour, a VCR and a lovely dropped ceiling in the basement. Actually, the dropped ceiling wasn’t all that crucial, but it did provide me with a sneaky spot to hide all of my contraband goods. There’s probably some stuff still hiding up there that I’ve long forgotten, which is kind of interesting because my parents moved out of that house years ago. Some poor family is probably wondering why a bottle of lemon gin came crashing down into the middle of their rumpus room last March. And yes, if I travelled back in time and caught my 17-year-old self drinking lemon gin I would punch that pimply little punk right in the face. Anyway, my parents couldn’t hold out long enough to watch late night television so they did the best thing I can ever imagine someone doing with a VCR: they recorded every episode of David Letterman’s show. They’d then watch the previous night’s show in prime time the next day when my brother and I were also still awake. This was incredible on so many levels.

Laugh All You Want Andy Prest

Instead of watching Miami Vice, bouncing on Pogo Balls or doing rails of coke like all my eight-year-old friends were doing in the 1980s, I was basking in the glow of a comedic genius in his prime. Letterman was at his absolute best when the show seemed to be at its absolute worst — no one was better at creating what at ﬁrst glance appeared to be a disaster but in actual fact was a man in control of every piece of stupidity crossing his desk, particularly his own stupidity. Few shows have ever approached that level of stupid brilliance, Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show and The Colbert Report probably coming the closest in recent years. With apologies to Mike Bullard — actually, forget that: screw Mike Bullard — no late-night Canadian show ever came close to that

kind of must-watch comedy. None, that is, until a pair of goofballs showed up in an unlikely place: The Sports Network. Jay Onrait and Dan O’Toole debuted together on TSN’s SportsCentre in 1972, kicking things off with their classic interview of Gordon Lightfoot conducted inside of a kiddie pool full of lime Jell-O. Actually, I don’t know when they debuted or what they talked about — if you care that much send me an email and I’ll sell you a password for Google. All I know is that after seeing them together for just a couple of episodes I knew that I would need to watch them work together as much as possible. Whatever trainwreck brilliance Letterman had, these two somehow come pretty damn close — I can’t really think of a better compliment to give anyone in the world. I’m a parent and through some miracle my two children, both under the age of three, sleep basically all night, every night. It’s an incredibly lucky situation and one that I try not to bring up in front of other young parents for fear of getting choked out by some sleepdeprived new mother’s diaper bag. Do I take advantage of this extraordinary good fortune by going to bed

myself at a reasonable time? Uh, no. I don’t get the sleep I need because I don’t have the willpower that my parents had, waiting until the next day to see what wackiness ensued while all the squares were sleeping. I need my Jay and Dan laughs before I go to bed. I don’t even care if there’s anything interesting going on in the sports world. In fact, it’s even better if there isn’t anything interesting. That leaves more time for them to dance, make fun of each other’s hair and call each other out for stifling belches. Here, finally, is the Canadian comedy we’ve all been waiting for, thinly disguised as a sports program. Great stuff. Except for one small thing: they’re leaving. Probably promised matching Maseratis (Maseratii?), the pair is big-timing us all, moving to L.A. to headline a new sports channel for Fox. They do say that they’ll still do their weekly podcast so us Hosers can keep in touch. If you haven’t listened to one already I recommend everyone find an episode of the Jay and Dan Podcast and give it a try. Wait, they do tend to work a little blue on the podcast so you may not want to listen to it if you don’t like jokes about poop, pee, boobs, farts,

Suspended sentence for hockey riot looter

Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

A North Vancouver man who stole cigarettes from London Drugs during the Stanley Cup riot two years ago has received a suspended sentence and been put on probation for 16 months. Judge Reginald Harris handed the sentence to Todd Gartland, 23, June 19 after Gartland pleaded guilty earlier to participating in a riot. The sentence means Gartland will have a criminal record, but will not have to spend any time in jail or under house arrest. Gartland was among the crowd of looters who surged into the downtown London Drugs store at Granville and Georgia on the night of the riot after some people smashed the front windows of the store. Gartland was captured on security cameras walking into the store wearing a Canucks hockey jersey, then leaving moments later with two cartons of cigarettes, which he almost immediately discarded. “I was a drunk idiot. I went into London Drugs,” he later told police. “I didn’t destroy the city.” Gartland turned himself in six months after the riot, when the Vancouver police department posted a photo of him online as a suspected rioter. In an earlier sentencing hearing, Gartland’s lawyer described his client’s actions as relatively minor, amounting to a split second of bad judgment while drunk in an otherwise exemplary life. Most of the rioters who have been sentenced have received conditional sentences, to be served at home, of between three to ﬁve months.

I often listen to it while walking to work, grinning like an idiot or just honest-to-God giggling as I pass by the elementary school on my usual route. If the PAC knew what I was giggling about while I walked past their kids every day it probably wouldn’t take too long for them to outsource some nifty Ban Jay and Dan T-Shirts. No need for that now: Jay and Dan are already out the door. In fact, tonight is their very last TSN show. They’ll probably be drunk, and they have a longtime tradition of “phone it in Fridays” to uphold, so the show will probably suck. Which means, of course, it will be the best ever.

ANNE Marsh intended to take a year off.

Working at a law ﬁrm, her fellow employees would annually, over Christmas, put on skits as part of their ofﬁce holiday festivities. While the North Vancouver resident was usually a willing participant in the pageantry, that particular year, Marsh had abstained. However, fate had something else in store. One of the cast members approached her, saying, “‘I have to go and sign some mortgage documents so if I don’t come back, you take my place,’” Marsh recalls, which she dutifully did.

LA SERVA PADRONA PAGE 17

“There was a very English lawyer there, and I’ll never forget, he came up to me and said, ‘Anne, are you in amateur dramatics because you were the only person I could hear!’” Soon after, Marsh read a notice in the North Shore News on behalf of North Vancouver Community Players. The club was looking for people to help with an upcoming production of Early to Bed, asking them to go to Centennial Theatre on an upcoming Saturday afternoon to audition. “I said to my husband, ‘I’m going to that,’ and I’d never volunteered for anything like that before. It was almost as if I was drawn,” she adds. That was 40 years ago, and while Marsh, now 76, wasn’t cast in the show, she was asked to be stage manager and for the last four decades has been a ﬁxture in the North Shore’s active community theatre circle, including serving as actor, president and now secretary of North Vancouver Community Players. “I’ve still got the ad,” she says, Marsh has also held a variety of roles in the wider theatre community, volunteering with other local

groups, previously serving as president of Theatre B.C. and is currently the administrator of the North Shore Zone of Theatre B.C. Festival of Plays. Her recent claim to fame, she says, was being cast in a production of Hay Fever at Presentation House, directed by Nicola Cavendish. “I was the troll under the stairs,” she laughs. Whether it’s helping people ﬁnd their passion, like Marsh, or providing an opportunity for theatre lovers to exercise theirs, North Vancouver Community Players has continued to impact the lives of local residents, both on and off the stage. In addition to the theatrical opportunities, countless friendships, as well as a few couples, have emerged as a result of members’ involvement over the years. The award-winning community theatre club, based at The Theatre at Hendry Hall, marked its 60th anniversary last year.

FILM

D.C. thriller capitalizes on formula White House Down takes its cue from long line of ﬂicks

SHOWTIMES

■ White House Down. Directed by Roland Emmerich. Starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx. Rating: 6 (out of 10)

Julie Crawford Contributing Writer

IF you are looking for subtlety in cinema this summer, you might want to beg off the multiplex until September. If not, go see White House Down. It’s tailor-made for the season, when our brains are so addled by the sun and DEET products that we just want to watch some stuff blow up. (You might not even notice that you just saw this movie: it was called Olympus Has Fallen, and starred Gerard Butler in a copycat storyline.) See Obama page 16

Enter Channing Tatum. He’s good at setting things

alight, whether it’s the pyrotechnics in G.I. Joe or the stripper stage in Magic Mike. He can kinda act, too,

which is an added bonus. Here Tatum plays John Cale (only a few letters away from Die Hard’s John

McClane), a veteran who somehow scores security detail with the Speaker of the House (Richard Jenkins).

What John really wants, though, is a job with the secret service in the White House, guarding President Sawyer (Jamie Foxx). He pulls a few strings and gets an interview with Agent Finnerty (Maggie Gyllenhaal), head of security, who politely informs him that his past grades and past history are just too sloppy for presidential detail. John puts on a brave face and continues the White House tour with his estranged daughter Emily (Joey King), a political junkie at the age of 11. But trouble is brewing: a cabinet minister (James Woods) starts his day by picking up his gun and taking off his obligatory American flag lapel pin, a sure sign that his patriotism is wavering. Once the shooting starts, the body count exceeds two dozen in less than two minutes. The bad guys mean business. There’s no one left to guard the president except for – ta da! – John, who engages in a cat-and-mouse game with the baddies, trying to protect the president while on the hunt for Emily, who has wandered off. Not to worry, because it’s sweaty and John is getting shot at, he will need to take off his suit and tie and strip down to his tank top. Say what you will about U.S. president Obama, but one thing he has done is paved the way for the coolest presidential portrayal ever. The closest we got in the past was the Clinton-era character Dave, played by Kevin Kline. Foxx is suave, he’s badass, and when things get hot he ditches his brogues for a pair of sneakers. “Get your hands off my Jordans!” is destined to be one of the catchphrases of the season. There’s the requisite uptight general, the weirdo hacker sucking on lollipops, the doughy Fox News-type correspondent, who can’t stop crying. We are not that smart — it’s summer vacation, remember? — so things are spelled out very, very carefully for us. When filmmakers bring up the military industrial complex they are careful to follow it up with a quick joke, so our heads don’t explode. And you know that in a film like this, if a character references Edward BulwerLytton’s “the pen is mightier than the sword”, someone’s going to get it in the jugular. Stare at a pocketwatch too long and it’s bound to play a pivotal role in the action. The film is directed by Roland Emmerich, the man who blew stuff up in The Day After Tomorrow, 2012, and yes, Independence Day, which is referenced in this film. The flag-waving, both metaphorical and literal, in the film’s last scene is the cherry on a schmaltz sundae, but hey: you knew what you were in for.

OPERA Mariposa’s La serva padrona (featuring Damon Morris as Uberto and soprano Allison Cociani as Serpina) opens tonight at Marpole United Church in Vancouver.

Reviving a baroque world West Vancouver’s Ian Dives conducts new take on Pergolesi work

IT may be only the most educated ear that can hear the difference between a baroque bow and a modern bow gliding across the strings of a violin, but for West Vancouver’s Ian Dives, success lies in the details.

At just 24 years old, Dives is music director for Opera Mariposa’s production of La serva padrona and he is intent on reviving the original

sounds of Giovanni Battista Pergolesi’s short opera, which debuted in 1733 at the tail end of the baroque era. He will be conducting from the harpsichord, a keyboard instrument widely used in Renaissance and baroque music, and his chamber orchestra includes a viola, a viola da gamba — also characteristic of the style — and two violins for which he has sourced period-appropriate bows. “It’s slightly smaller and the curve in the bow is different so it enables the players to play the music better, speciﬁcally baroque style,” Dives explains. He also called on a Canadian expert in early music to coach the orchestra and learned that, while baroque music is typiﬁed by ornate detail and harmonic complexity, sometimes “less is more” when it comes to performance. La serva padrona runs June 28 to 30 at Marpole United Church in Vancouver. Each night, the one-act opera will be preceded by a concert of Handel favourites for an authentic 18th century evening.

THEATRE

Players performing production in festival

From page 13

continued into 2013 as the club recently earned a spot at Theatre B.C. Mainstage, an annual provincial community theatre festival being held in Kamloops July 5-13. The organization was granted entry into the festival for its production of The Drawer Boy, following a stellar performance of the work at the North Shore Zone of Theatre B.C. Festival of Plays, May 6-11 at Presentation House Theatre. Acclaimed North Shore actor Jay Brazeau served as this year’s adjudicator. The Drawer Boy was named best overall production and zone festival winner, as well as earned a number of additional awards, including best achievement by a director (Judith Barkley White), and special adjudicator’s certificate for best ensemble (Barry Walker, Tyler Q. Felbel and Nick Palidwor). The club last won the North Shore Zone festival in 2010 for Three Days of Rain, and last won Mainstage in 2000 for Da and 1998 for Someone Who’ll Watch Over Me. The club will present The Drawer Boy in Kamloops July 10 at the Sagebrush Theatre, but first members are remounting the production (following a local run in April) in a three-night stand Thursday, July 4 to Saturday, July 6 at 8 p.m. at Hendry Hall. The Drawer Boy, written by Michael Healey, is a Governor General’s Award-winning play, explains assistant director and North Vancouver resident Peter Zednik, 56. He joined North Vancouver Community Players four years ago following 25 years of experience in theatre as a professional actor (Stratford Festival), playwright, musical director and choreographer. He also served as general manager of Vancouver’s Green Thumb Theatre for 14 years. The Drawer Boy, inspired by an actual theatrical experiment, The Farm Show, is set on a farm in rural Ontario in June 1972 and is a fictionalized account of two middle-aged bachelor farmers who are visited by a young theatre actor from Toronto who’s interested in learning about farming in preparation for an upcoming play. “It is all about being Canadian and Canadian identity. . . .” says Zednik. “But it’s mostly about how theatre can change your life.” “It’s extraordinarily moving, it’s a beautiful story, accessible to a wide range of people. It’s got comedy (and), drama,” he adds. Marsh, who serves as the show’s publicist and sound designer knows they’ll face a tough adjudication come Kamloops as it’s being presided over by Dean Paul Gibson, an accomplished actor and director, as well as director for the Arts Club Acting Intensive and associate artistic director for Bard on the Beach. When asked what she attributes the longevity of North Vancouver Community Players to, Marsh replies: Hendry Hall. Prior to taking over the space in 1972, North Vancouver Community Players used a number of local venues, including the Lonsdale Theatre at the corner of 16th and Lonsdale, the Horticultural Hall at 23rd and Lonsdale (which had very squeaky seats), and an old Scout Hall near 22nd and Lonsdale. Built in 1942 for $800, Hendry Hall was intended as an air raid precautionary post. It takes its name from the street it’s on, named for a turn of the century local lumber company officer. Following the end of the Second World War, the building was repurposed and used by a variety of community groups until North Vancouver Community Players moved in. Hendry Hall has gone through a number of upgrades over the years, including making it possible for actors to not have to go outside to access the stage. However, the theatre still has its quirks, adding to its charm. For instance, in order to access the technical booth, crew members must climb through the enclosure’s window, laughs Marsh. The District of North Vancouver makes Hendry Hall available to the club for $10 a year. “That’s a huge advantage to this group,” says Marsh, explaining other local theatre groups face high facility rental charges whenever they’re interested in mounting a production, a challenge for any non-profit organization. “It’s made it financially viable for us to put on these shows,” says Marsh. Hendry Hall’s intimate 76-seat theatre is a major drawing card for audiences, allowing them to become emotionally engaged with the production before them. “Coming here it’s so close that you can’t help being caught

NEWS photos Cindy Goodman

NORTH Vancouver Community Players (featuring Nick Palidwor, Tyler Q. Felbel and Barry Walker) are remounting The Drawer Boy at the Theatre at Hendry Hall July 4-6. up in it and I think that’s why the audience likes to be here because if you’re laughing at something, everybody’s laughing, so there’s a big energy and of course you get that off the stage as well,” says Marsh.

Not your grandpa’s barbershop Entrepreneurs open up men’s grooming spot

Brent Richter brichter@nsnews.com

“WATER? Tea? Coffee? Beer?”

At 11 a.m., it’s a little early for beer on a workday but I appreciate the offer. It’s the first question you’ll be asked when you sit down in the massage chair at Man Up in North Vancouver before you get a pedicure. The salon tailored exclusively for men recently opened on Marine Drive at Lloyd Avenue, just west of Capilano Mall. This is my first “foot maintenance,” as they call it. My usual foot regimen consists of trimming my nails when the lady friend points out that they are starting to resemble hooves. Even though I’m surrounded by professionals, I’m still a bit sheepish about having someone not just stare at but get intimately close with my feet because, well, they’re my feet. I have thousands of years of Western civilization telling me they’re ugly and they stink. “That’s the whole point of this place,” says Candice Schultz, Man Up esthetician. “We don’t do treatments in back rooms. A man can come in here and not be judged.” And it turns out, my feet aren’t so bad after all — nothing like the 90-yearold woman she once referred to a podiatrist. The treatment starts with a footbath using a grapefruit body wash and a spray of callous softener. You then have your nails clipped and filed. Nothing came as a surprise to a first-timer until the scraping back of my cuticles — not because it hurt, I just didn’t know that was something you could/

I’m sorry,” I blurt out when Candice begins digging under my toenail with a pick, which I was not expecting. I certainly hadn’t been doing it. “Don’t be. It’s the funnest

part,” Candice says to my relief. “In this work, you have to be a bit of a foot fetishist.” After she goes to town on the soles of my feet with a pumice paddle, Candice ﬁnishes the treatment with an exfoliating massage that

goes up to my knees. The scrubbing, scraping and washing has eliminated much of the bacteria that are the source of foot odour, though I’m pleased to say, for all of my faults, that isn’t one of them.

foot maintenance runs $45 and takes about 35 minutes. Next on the agenda is what I consider to be one of the great indulgences a man can have as far as hygiene and grooming go — the straight razor shave. Unlike getting a haircut, which is strictly utilitarian, a straight blade shave is the perfect marriage of grooming and experience, and the result isn’t like any shave you can get with your regular razor, regardless of how many blades this year’s model has. After having a base of oil worked into your face, you get the hot towel, which damn near relaxes you into sleep and opens up the follicles. This is followed by a high-end shaving cream lathered up with a brush. The shave takes a while as barber and stylist Janelle Pearce methodically scrapes away every last bristle. When it’s done, you can’t help but touch your face for the rest of the day as you

marvel at how smooth it is. Straight razor shaving is a bit of a dying art as many of the proverbial old Italian or Persian barbers hang up their clippers and razors and no one is stepping up to carry on the practice. The “smooth operator” shave takes about 40 minutes and will cost $45. Man Up is the brainchild of Alison Koch and Sandy Gerber, North Shore entrepreneurs looking to ﬁll a growing gap in the market — men who want high-end foot, hair and face care, but don’t want to be treated like a lady in the process. “The light went off and we thought ‘This is so what Vancouver needs. There’s nothing like this out there. It handles the in-between of a women’s salon and Supercuts. Men want the service of a salon, but they don’t want to sit scrunched between other women or in a feminine environment,” Koch said. With sports or action movies on the big screen TV, rock music on sound system and nothing pink in sight, they’ve achieved that.

Production sung in Italian with English surtitles

From page 17

Dives made his music direction debut with Opera Mariposa’s first fully staged opera, Mozart’s The Impresario, and this weekend’s production marks the finale to the company’s inaugural season. The Pergolesi work is a fun, but seldom staged opera, Dives says. “People don’t really perform it very often because it’s only two singers so it doesn’t really have the draw to a lot of opera companies.” La serva padrona (or, The Maid Turned Mistress) began as a comic intermezzo meant to entertain audiences at intermission during a longer opera. It grew so popular that it started to be performed as a standalone piece and typified a new style of Italian comic opera known as opera buffa. The 50-minute performance tells the unlikely love story of bossy maid Serpina (played by soprano Allison Cociani) and her master Uberto (played by baritone Damon Morris). It will be sung in its original Italian with English surtitles so audiences can decipher the humorous libretto. Dives, a former Collingwood school student, started playing piano and singing in choirs at an early age. He always had an interest in music, he says, but it was watching a production of Turandot in Grade 12 that really ignited his love of opera. He attended Capilano University and, after two years pursuing a science degree, switched to the subject he really loved. “Science wasn’t working for me but music was and I just graduated this May with my arts degree,” Dives says. During his time at Capilano he also earned a one-year conducting certificate and sang in the bass section of the Capilano University Singers, a gig that took him to France, Spain and Italy. It wasn’t long before he connected with the founders of Vancouver-based Opera Mariposa. Robin Eder-Warren, 21, and her fellow soprano Jacqueline Ko

created the company as a platform for up-and-coming artists to gain stage experience. For new music school graduates, it’s tough to break into the small Lower Mainland opera scene, Eder-Warren says. “You can be a phenomenal singer and you might end up spending an entire year performing not at all because there just aren’t enough slots or enough roles that suite that voice,” she explains. Opera Mariposa wants to help budding vocalists beat the catch22 of the job search. “There are so many incredibly talented people in Vancouver looking to emerge into the opera world, which can’t really be done in Vancouver without moving to Europe, but you cannot move to Europe without the experience ﬁrst.” So, when Dives expressed an interest in music direction, the founders of Opera Mariposa were happy to hand him the reins. “Ian has a unique energy about him that I’ve never seen in any other conductor. He is so enthusiastic and so committed to creating the best experience possible,” Eder-Warren says, adding that his baroque chamber orchestra will produce a “brighter” sound than a normal full orchestra. “The tradition of having those instruments is really the only way you can perform a true baroque sound,” she says of Dives’ decision to incorporate a harpsichord and string quartet. “If you used a more traditional orchestra, you’d be using the wrong kind of instruments for that kind of music, because it’s written to be played in that way.” Opera Mariposa’s fall 2013 production of Don Pasquale will also feature a fresh-faced cast and crew. In addition to awarding sought-after roles to recent graduates, the company also provides an affordable opportunity for young opera fans — and there are plenty of them, Eder-Warren says — to catch a live performance. “On average our audience is incredibly young, which is a boon and it’s a great gift for us.”

VICTORIA’S RBCM HOSTS RACE TO THE END OF THE EARTH

The icemen cometh

■ Race to the End of the Earth, Royal BC Museum until Oct. 14. For more information on the exhibit visit explore. royalbcmuseum.bc.ca.

Neville Judd Contributing Writer

WITH the benefit of a century’s hindsight, it’s clear only one man could have reached the South Pole first and made it back alive. In 1911-12, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen made his 1,660-mile roundtrip with 52 dogs, four sledges, five men and a single-minded focus on being first. British Navy Captain Robert F. Scott made his final push for the Pole with 10 ponies, 22 dogs, 12 sledges, two motorized sledges, 16 men and a determination to log as much scientific data as possible. The Brits wore cotton; the Norwegians fur. The Brits brought 35,000 cigars and a pianola. The Norwegians did not. Hindsight doesn’t diminish the enormity of what both men set out to accomplish, or the sacrifices they made. Their decisions drive the compelling tale of Race to the End of the Earth, the feature exhibition at Victoria’s Royal B.C. Museum. The noise of howling winds greets visitors to the exhibit, which recreates an epic story of triumph and tragedy through original artifacts, photographs, letters and authentic re-creations. Scott’s Terra Nova Expedition had set out to be the first to reach the South Pole, a feat Scott and four companions thought they had achieved Jan. 17, 1912, only to discover that Amundsen’s team had beaten them by 33 days. Trapped in a nine-day blizzard without food or fuel, Scott and his party died on their return. The Norwegians made it back to

BRITISH Navy Captain Robert F. Scott in hut during 1912 Terra Nova Expedition to the South Pole. His team died in a blizzard during their epic journey. their ship and a heroes’ welcome in Hobart, Tasmania, where their triumph was made public on March 7, 1912. The exhibit is divided into seven sections, which chronologically tell the story of the men and their shared goal. Amundsen’s binoculars, chronometer, shotgun and sledge are on display, complemented with letters and photographs. A sledge pennant owned by Cecil H. Meares, Scott’s dog handler, is also among the original artifacts. True to the British tradition of Arctic exploration, sledges featured colourful silk ﬂags to be spotted during blizzards. Meares’ pennant is one of only a few that has survived from the era and is locally signiﬁcant because Meares moved to

Victoria in the late 1920s. Meares isn’t the only connection to Victoria. Scott himself visited the city in 1889/1890 as a Royal Navy Lieutenant. He developed a friendship with a local family and corresponded with them during the next 20 years. A Canadian member of Scott’s team, decorated scientist Charles S. Wright, worked at the Paciﬁc Naval Laboratory in Esquimalt, and at UBC and Royal Roads before retiring to Salt Spring Island. He died in Victoria in 1975. The life-sized reconstructions of Scott’s living quarters and Amundsen’s underground workrooms are impressive. So, too, is an Emperor penguin diorama, vividly recreating

‘the worst journey in the world,’ an apt description of a five-week scientific expedition undertaken in winter by three of Scott’s men to collect Emperor penguins eggs. The three barely made it back alive. Another of the savvy Norwegians’ decisions, that of building underground quarters out of the extreme wind and cold, is dramatically realized in a life-size re-creation But it’s the smaller details that are memorable; the sepia photos of both men in their living quarters, on their skis and hauling sleds (the Brits felt hauling their own sleds showed strength of character); and the farewell letters written by Scott, in which he urges, “for God’s sake, take care of our people.” The British public was inspired to raise more than $75,000 ($7 million today) for those widowed and orphaned by the expedition. In 1913, King George V attended a standing-room-only memorial service for Scott’s team in St. Paul’s Cathedral. The Royal B.C. Museum includes interactive and hands-on educational activities, allowing visitors to see how scientists live and work in Antarctica today. “Touch-this” stations are a nice addition, too, encouraging visitors to feel reindeer fur and an emperor penguin’s egg, among other items. RBCM’s conservator Jana Stefan recently returned from her second visit to Antarctica, where she’s been helping to restore Scott’s expedition base camp – still standing after more than a century! Her work preserving more than 10,000 of the camp’s artifacts is presented on video. For film on a more epic scale, IMAX Victoria in the RBCM is screening Shackleton’s Antarctic Adventure. British explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton’s 19141916 Antarctica Expedition is an extraordinary story of survival — beautifully filmed, and narrated by actor Kevin Spacey. The RBCM is the only Canadian stop for Race to the End of the Earth, which runs See Lecture page 31

Taking tango out of the box

Jeremy Shepherd jshepherd@nsnews.com

THE jarring notes of the cello rise like the onset of paranoia. Cymbals clash and the sound sharpens like shards of a broken melody. The guitar enters the fray, dissolving into the melody and sweetening the song like sugar in your coffee. The track holds a mercurial balance between cello and guitar until the disagreements are forgotten and the tango takes flight. “Oxydo” is one of the most intriguing tracks from Postango, the newest album from Quebec tango quartet Quetango. In his first English-language interview, double bassist Frederic Vermette discusses the formation of the unique group. “When I entered college we were obligated to play double bass,” he explains of his days at Laval University. The obligation turned into a joy, and before long Vermette crossed paths with Daniel Finzi, an Argentinean musician who had come to Quebec to study with a cello teacher. Vermette eventually recruited childhood friend and guitarist Jonathan Hains as well as his cousin, percussionist Simon Boudreault. “Daniel at first wanted to do a more traditional kind of tango, but since me and Jonathan had a lot of different influences, and we compose a lot also, it kind of gets into the music of the band,” he says. “We all have a different approach.” Vermette serves as the band’s circulatory system, pumping out deep rhythms by sawing the plastic strings with a bow, plucking

them with his fingers, and sometimes adding percussion by knocking on the wooden frame. Formed in 2002, the band has rarely left Quebec, straying below the border only to play for a crowd of tango fans at a festival in Buenos Aires, Argentina. “When we play tango in our town . . . or in the province of Quebec sometimes people would say that the music we’re doing is not tango, but when we went there, (Buenos Aires), people were saying that we were doing tango,” he says. Quetango does not feature a bandoneon, a wind instrument that bears a passing similarity to an accordion and is often seen as integral to tango. “At first, since we do not have this instrument, some festivals or venues think we are not doing tango,” Vermette says. “The vision of the tango is more traditional. People have a conception of tango that is more in stereotypes. More like tango is love, passion, and we see that in movies. But tango at first is a music that is not always about love. It’s the music of the street.” In his book, Slavery and beyond: the African impact on Latin America and the Caribbean, editor Darien J. Davis traces the first stirrings of tango to a 1455 decree from Pope Nicolas V that gave Portugal licence to enslave any Africans who resisted Christianity. Approximately 400 years later, the promise of newly freed lands made Argentina the destination for a wave of approximately six million immigrants. Many Portuguese, Spanish and Italian travellers ended up on the outskirts of society, dancing in the bars and brothels of Buenos Aires, according to author Susan August Brown. It was in those dance halls that African rhythms met a fast-paced waltz known as milonga music, giving birth to the tango. The sons of slumming oligarchs may have made the dance smoother and safer while transmuting the music to high society, according to Brown. The word tango may stem from the African word ‘tambo,’ meaning “drums” and “noisy gatherings,” according to research included in Rise and Fall of the Cosmic Race: The Cult of Mestizaje in Latin America by Marilyn Grace Miller.

From page 24

In the early 1800s, as much as one-quarter of the population of Buenos Aires consisted of Africans. During special events such as the festival of Saint Balthasar, both slaves and free Africans danced to drums and marimbas in rituals known as candombes. Many Argentineans gathered to watch the ceremonies, including dictator Juan Manuel De Rosas, whose spectatorship granted the ceremonies an acceptance across cultures and races. Within those ceremonies, Miller argues, were the seeds of the tango. The music continues, Vermette says, noting that many Buenos Aires tango groups share a similar bent toward exploration with Quetango. “My songs are more of an almost rock-driven or progressive rock. It’s also blended with every other influence like jazz, classical music,” he says, discussing his apprecation for bands like Gentle Giant and King Crimson. Hains, described by Vermette as a jazz aficionado, tends to lean toward improvisation. “Jonathan is the more cerebral guy with a lot of harmonic ideas,” he says. Finzi has also composed for Quebec orchestras, according to Vermette. “We still see (Daniel) as the bandleader. It’s more democratic now. Everybody says what he thinks,” he says. “Since everybody’s an expert on their instrument we change things on our own.” Quetango exists because the members of the quartet can each find enough work as professional musicians, both teaching and playing, to keep the group together. When it comes to their live show, Vermette promises an unorthodox tango. “It’s not traditional tango. Sometimes it’s almost rock music, sometimes it’s more a jazzy feel. There’s a lot of different textures, a lot of different sounds. I think energy is a good word to describe a Quetango live show.”

MUSIC

X Factor star says ‘success best revenge’

Jillian Jensen performing this summer on Pop Explosion tour Nicholas M. Pescod Contributing Writer

JILLIAN Jensen wasn’t bullied because of her looks, the singer/songwriter was bullied because of who she was.

When the Massachusetts native was in seventh grade another student asked her if she wanted drugs. Jensen refused the offer and informed the school’s staff about the situation. Shortly after the incident Jensen found herself being bullied on a regular basis. The bullying continued throughout much of her time in school. Eventually the harassment got so bad for Jensen that she switched schools and attempted suicide multiple times. “I shouldn’t be alive,” Jensen says. “There were nights when I overdosed and I don’t know how I woke up.” On June 11, Jensen released her latest single titled “I Am Whole” to iTunes. She says the song was inspired by her realization of how important music has been to her in her life. “The song is called ‘I Am Whole’ and basically a couple months back I got the opportunity to sing with my inspiration Ed Sheeran, and that night went home and I thought about how important music has been to me in my life,” she says. “Music means everything to me.” “I Am Whole” is just one single in a series of singles that 20year-old plans on releasing before putting out an album. “I’ve been releasing all singles,” she says. “They’re actually all planned for when they are going to come out. I have another one coming this year called ‘Keep Going’ and another one called ‘Breaking You’.” Jensen released her debut album, Reflections, in 2007 and her second album, Green Light Go in 2008. The former Bishop Stang high school student says after releasing a series of singles she will be ready to release another album sometime next year. “I want to take my time and release something that I am proud of,” Jensen says. “I think it is a little bit easier and more time efficient.” On July 13, Jensen will be making her Canadian performance debut at the Opera House in Toronto as part of the Pop Explosion Tour. “I am excited,” she says. “I am super-stoked to finally perform in Canada.” Jensen’s musical journey began when she was two years old. By the time she was eight she was writing her own songs. “Growing up music was already around the house,” she says. “My mother is a vocal coach.” Jensen was influenced greatly by artists such as James Taylor, Alanis Morissette and Johnny Cash. “I think that those influences definitely influenced my style and the way I sing,” she says. “I want to be able to write songs that literally take the person and make them feel like they are not the only person that feels the way they do.” Not only has Jensen written more than 100 songs but she can also play a number of instruments including the guitar, saxophone, violin, drums, ukulele and bass. Jensen is no stranger to performing in front of large audiences. In 2010 she performed for U.S President Barrack Obama and opened for James Taylor. The following year she performed as a backup singer for former Pussy Cat Doll Nicole Scherzinger on Regis and Kelly. She has also performed the U.S. national anthem at Boston Red Sox, Boston Celtics and New York Mets games. Last fall Jensen made headlines with a memorable and emotional audition on X-Factor USA. After sharing her emotional story, she performed Jessie J’s song “Who You Are” and won the approval of the judges Simon Cowell, Britney Spears, L.A Reid and Demi Lovato. “Being on X-Factor was super cool. Ever since the first season of American Idol, I told myself if I could ever get the approval from Simon Cowell then my life will be complete,” Jensen says. Although she was eventually eliminated her X-Factor audition has more than 16 million views on YouTube. She was able to bond with Demi Lovato, who has publically spoken about her experiences as a victim of bullying. “That was an amazing achievement to be able to look her (Lovato) in the eye and say thank you for doing something I am a passionate about too,” Jensen says. Since appearing on X-Factor Jensen has become a bigger role model for thousands of girls worldwide. Jensen is the facilitator of Magic of Music Scholarship Program, which provides musical scholarships to children who cannot afford music lessons. She also does speaking engagements in schools across North America about bullying. “It’s a really amazing feeling,” she says. “Whenever I go to a different school and speak it is definitely one of those moments where I say to myself this is what made it all worth it. This is what made all the nights struggling and crying myself to sleep

By the time Jensen reached high school she tried to fit in as much as she could but was still bullied. Not only was she abused physically and verbally but she was also consistently harassed online. “There was a Facebook page that had this yellow rubber duck that said I bet this page could get more likes than Jill Jensen,” she says. On one of the nights she attempted suicide Jensen wrote a song called “From the Outside,” which she says explains her situation. “I think music has a way of expressing itself and helping others,” she says. “I think, truthfully, the only reason I survived was to take my experience and help others going through the same things.” “I truly shouldn’t be here now,” she adds. Despite appearing on X-Factor there have been people who have criticized Jensen about her recent weight gain. Jensen says she was bulimic at the time of her audition and has since gained 30 pounds. “I think the definition of perfect should be happiness,” Jensen says. “I am much happier now than I was when I was throwing up every single meal. My body is my own personal definition of perfect. I think that everyone is perfect in their own way. I think that self-worth and self-happiness is the most important aspect that you could ever pertain.” After her performance on X-Factor Jensen is looking forward to the summer. She will be performing in a handful of cities including Chicago, Los Angeles and Orlando. “I am actually going to be in California for two of the Pop Explosion Tour dates,” Jensen says. “After doing those two shows in San Diego and Los Angeles my plan is to drive back home to Massachusetts and do shows the entire way going back.” Last year Jensen was awarded Humanitarian of the Year at the 2012 Boston Music Awards. The Massachusetts singer has no shortage of advice for anyone who’s going through similar experiences. “I am firm believer that those who bully others are only bullying them because they’re below them. I think that when someone sees something that they want in someone else, that is why they are trying to knock them down and I experienced a lot of that,” Jensen says. “Success will be your greatest revenge.” For more information on Jillian Jensen visit jillianjensen. weebly.com or follow her on Twitter: @ItsJillJensen.

CHARETTE (HOLM), Signe Apr 04, 1952 - Apr 11, 2013 Signe passed away suddenly, in her home, surrounded by her beloved animals. Signe is survived by her mother Edna M. Holm and was preceded in death by her father Oliver S. Holm. She touched the lives of many people with her nursing care having been an LPN at Lions Gate Hospital for 40 years. Signe was a potter, an avid gardener and a terrific cook who loved to decorate and entertain. Her "casa" in Puerto Vallarta was her favourite place to holiday and she made many friends there over the years. She will be remembered with love by her goddaughter Sarah L. Boyd, her close friends Kathryn Harrop, Delores Gall and Nell McIldoon as well as the Charette, Dorsey, Lefevre and Hunt families. No service at her request, please consider a donation to the Vancouver SPCA or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

CLYDE, Aileen Dec 28, 1924 - Jun 21, 2013 Aileen was born in Barnsley, Yorkshire, England. She came here as a War Bride in 1946 to join Ned, the jaunty young Canadian soldier who stole her heart those many years ago. Now she leaves us after 67 years in Canada, to join him again. She leaves behind the four sons she worked so hard to tame (Michael, Ian, John and David), their wives & children. We’ll miss you Mom, Granny, and Great-Granny; miss the family dinners, picnics and story time. A memorial service will be held at St.Catherine’s Church, 1058 Ridgewood Dr. North Vancouver, on Sunday July 14th, at 1:30pm. Refreshments will be served following the service.

LEWIS, Dolores Barbara (nee: Wilson) Sunrise February 14, 1929 Sunset June 25, 2013

We were deeply saddened to announce the loss of Dolores Lewis who passed peacefully in her sleep. She is predeceased by her husband William ‘Willie’ Doran Lewis, children James ‘Christopher’ Lewis, Ruth Mavis ‘Donna’ Lewis & Barbara Ann White. Dolores is survived by her children Doran Lewis (Julia), Karen Lewis (Gerry Smith), Lynn Lewis, Brenda Lewis, Barry Lewis and grandson Christopher ‘Chris’ Lewis, who was raised by his grandparents. She is also survived by 18 grandchildren, 16+ great grandchildren, sisters June Hamilton, Gloria Wilson, Debra Joe, brothers Richard and Wilfred Wilson. Dolores was a proud citizen of the Squamish Nation and will be missed by the community. Mom was a generous soul and was always helping and thinking about others no matter what. She worked throughout her life and her greatest legacy to the Squamish Nation was working for the Taha Lodge and over time had bonded with many Nation members with lifetime friendships. Dolores was always there for her family and friends, she watched many of the children on the Capilano reserve grow up and raise their own families. She was fondly known to many as ‘Auntie Dolores’, her friendly nature and her beautiful smile lit up the room. Mom had a gentle, loving and kind heart. Her pastime was playing bingo and rounding up those who enjoyed spending an evening together to socialize and share stories. A Catholic Prayer and Funeral Service will be at St. Paul’s Indian Catholic Church 424 West Esplanade, North Vancouver, BC on Friday, June 28th at 7:00pm and Saturday, June 29th at 10:00am.

Obituaries

LOVE, Lloyd Jun 28, 1916 - Jun 22, 2013 Clifford Lloyd George Love died peacefully on June 22, 2013, in the company of his loving daughter Sue, in the palliative ward at Lions Gate Hospital after a brief period of ill health. He was born on June 28, 1916 in Medicine Hat Alberta. He was predeceased by brothers Max and Stan and his wife of 69 years, Irene. Lloyd is survived by daughters Sue and Linda, grandsons Jay (Grace) and Rob (Meghan) and their children, Alayna, Bryce, Mylie and Kaiya and nieces and nephews. Special thanks to the Churchill House staff and residents where he and Irene spent several happy years. Lloyd lived a long, happy and honourable life. He proudly served in the Canadian Army during World War II as a heavy-duty mechanic in forward positions in Europe and received medals after the war. Upon his return home to wife Irene and daughter Sue he re-joined Canadian National Railway as a yardman and coach carpenter. In character, he was proud of his profession and was known for his exceptional workmanship and attention to detail. His career at CN spanned 42 years. Upon retirement Lloyd and Irene had a happy life, enjoying travelling to many destinations around the globe. A gathering will be held to celebrate Lloyd’s life at 2:00 pm on June 28th at Churchill House - 150 W 29th Street in North Vancouver.

featured on this model. Having said that, you really have to spend some time behind the wheel to get a true sense of what makes the S7 an S7. Essentially, that means better steering feel and ﬂatter handling, to name just some of the upgrades. And of course, there’s the out-of-thisworld power upgrade thanks to the turbocharged 4.0-litre V-8 with cylinder deactivation. This is the same engine found in the Bentley Continental GT but output here is 420 horsepower and 405 foot-pounds of torque

Nissan releases electric LeMans racer With the echoes of last weekend’s 24 Hours of LeMans still ringing around the track, Nissan has just announced a new concept to take the famous endurance race into the future. There is no engine, only ZEOD. Well, that’s what they’re calling their electric-only racer: the Zero Emission On Demand. A bit of a mouthful, and not really very descriptive. Nissan is saying their battery powered machine will be capable of travelling at more than 300 km/h, but they’re not telling anyone just how it’s going to do so. Not to be skeptical or anything: the body is shaped like the Batmanish DeltaWing concept they were involved in last year, and that machine had a tiny 1.6-litre turbo and still knocked heads. Nissan has a history of taking their electric technology to the track with the super-

THE 2013 Audi S7 — the “sports” version of the already impressive A7 — is a car that brings an amazing level of performance, power, and prestige without sacriﬁcing the balance of comfort and convenience. While the cosmetic changes that separate the A7 from the S7 are subtle, the extra oomph that the S7 brings to the table in the form of horsepower is signiﬁcant and impressive indeed. Design

Behind The Wheel David Chao

The 2013 Audi S7 delivers superb performance but it can also help you run your normal chores — thanks to a functionality that can

also impress. Some may not be fans of what could be described loosely as a luxury hatchback (at least in terms of the basic architecture sense), but this is by far the best looking example available. And, while looks go a long way in this segment, a dash of practicality can also sweeten the package. In the looks department, S models are dressed with a unique version of Audi’s single-frame grill, plus aero treatments on the front fascia and down the sides. Black brake calipers, aluminium optic side mirrors, gray rear diffuser, quad polished exhaust tips and V8T fender badges are also

Comfortable S7 ready for racing or commuting From page 39

— slightly detuned from the Bentley version. All S7s feature the most advanced quattro all-wheeldrive system available. It has an active rear differential which not only splits torque to whichever rear wheel is demanding the most traction, but it also shifts power to the outside wheel when cornering to help you get through with less steering input. Bigger brakes and lowered air suspension with variable damping complete the package. Performance When set to Dynamic, Audi’s Drive Select system ﬁrms up the suspension settings and adds more responsive, weighted steering. It also quickens the throttle response, and when the pedal is pushed to the ﬂoor, the S7’s rear biased all-wheel drive system instantly hooks up and propels you forward. It takes only 4.7 seconds to reach 100 kilometres per hour,

which is almost a full second better than the A7 with the top engine. Things are stable the whole way up to its 250 km/h top speed with ﬁrm shifts from the seven-speed dual clutch transmission, accompanied by a ferociously pleasant exhaust note. As fun as all that is, the S7 is just as entertaining to drive at a normal, going-to-work pace. The only complaint? When in full auto mode, the transmission shifting can be a touch irregular under certain circumstances, but nothing out of the normal. The cylinder-on-demand system is virtually undetectable thanks to active engine mounts that quell vibrations. The S7 even has noise cancellation inside the cabin that eliminates any audible clues. The big advantage of this system is it helps improves fuel economy ratings to 12.7 litres/100 kilometres city and 8.3 l/100 km highway. Environment What really stands out about the 2013 Audi S7 is the sheer quality of the interior. It’s just extremely well made and the stunning interior design gives it a unique ﬂavour. It’s the same gorgeous interior as found in the A7, although updates like Valcona leather seats with cross stitching

The S7 is also a highly functional car as well with Audi’s intuitive MMI interface standard along with features like Bluetooth and a DVD player. But you do have to pay a price for such features and the S7 costs $20,000 more than the base A7. Features The Audi S7 is only available in one model and has a starting price of $89,300. The impressive standard equipment list includes a glass sunroof, adaptive headlights, rearview camera, heated seats in the front and rear, BOSE surround sound system, MMI touch navigation system, iPod integration, and Bluetooth Additional optional features are included in packages such as the Driver Assistance package which provides adaptive cruise control with stop and go, and Audi pre sense plus; the Vision package boasting a heads-up display and night vision; and a Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System featuring 19 speakers for 5.1 surround sound. The fuel efﬁciency ratings for the S7 are 12.7 l/100 km city and 8.3 l/100 km highway. Thumbs up The 2013 Audi S7 is one of the most stunning fourdoor coupes on the road. Its interior is exceptionally comfortable and quiet, and

the design is gorgeous. The power delivery is impressive. Thumbs down The most polarizing aspect of the S7 is its foundation. Not everybody loves the idea of a high performance ﬁve-door design. Also, the base A7 is already a very good car and not every customer will feel the need to pay extra for the S7. The bottom line If you’re looking for longdistance comfort with superb performance edge, wrapped in an extremely stylish and functional package, the 2013 Audi S7 is clearly a great pick. Competitors BMW 650i xDrive Gran Coupe The 6-series Gran Coupe has power output that makes most sports cars blush, fashionable good looks and the nicest interior available. The hydraulic steering makes it a pleasure to drive at speed but it struggles to adequately handle bumps partly due to the run-ﬂat tires. At $99,800, the Gran Coupe is considerably more expensive than its competitors, which also have more standard equipment. Mercedes-Benz CLS550 4Matic The CLS-Class was the original four-door coupe and therefore it is the benchmark. On its own, the CLS550 has See High-end page 43

THE BMW 650i xDrive Gran Coupe has a long name, high price tag and lots of power.

excellent road presence and, like all Mercedes, is a great high-speed cruiser. It may have fallen a step behind the new comers, but its $84,800 starting price keeps it in the market. Porsche Panamera 4S Few names in the automotive world are as prestigious as Porsche. For $110,200 you can bring home a four-door Porsche with a 4.8-litre V-8 and allwheel drive. The Porsche Panamera offers customers a more pure driving experience, but as a result it sacriﬁces some practicality.

THE four-door, all-wheel drive Porsche Panamera is not as practical as some of its competitors but, on the other hand, it’s a Porsche.

A growing part of this community are riding adventure motorcycles, those dual sport machines designed to perform both on the pavement and off of it. Author Greg Baker has had a fair number of two-wheeled adventures and from them has learned much about this type of travel. From those trips and many years of riding and maintaining his own motorcycles, Baker has written this detailed manual that provides instructions for many repairs. Baker starts with an overview of standard motorcycle components then looks at servicing for the most popular adventure motorcycles. He offers valuable advice on preparation for a lengthy tour and suggests some worthwhile accessories and how to install them. The ﬁnal chapter is devoted to roadside maintenance and repairs. These are those real life situations where there is no dealer to call up for help and your only choice is to get on with solving the problem yourself. From crash damage, ﬂat tires, brake failure, chain damage and more, Baker looks at a broad spectrum of concerns that could come up when you leave the pavement and start to explore off the beaten path. — Terry Peters

Has Dodge run out of moves?

car, and VW’s clearly built a highway star. Is Dodge defunct? Chrysler recently released a statement to the effect that their long-running, best-selling minivans will soon be sold under the Town and Country label only — no more Grand Caravan. Not the biggest news in the world, but it’s part of a disturbing trend. The new Viper is now referred to as the “SRT Viper,” rather than the Dodge Viper. The entire pickup truck line has been moved over to sit under the Ram branding. Fiat sales are growing quickly. Glancing over the current product lineup, the Charger is basically a Chrysler 300, the Challenger muscle car is rumoured to be refreshed as the SRT ‘Cuda, and both the Avenger and the Durango are on the way out. Only the compact Dart remains as a new-ish offering, and it could just as easily be sold as the Fiat upon which it’s based, or as a compact Chrysler. Remember Mercury, or Plymouth, or Oldsmobile, or Pontiac? All storied nameplates with years of heritage, none of which matters one whit against the mighty bottom line. Dodge has been around long enough to feature in vaudevillian bad jokes (say friend, my car doesn’t need a horn — it says “dodge” right up front! Wokka wokka.), but that won’t save it if Chrysler is starting the slow, gradual process of phasing it out. Volkswagen builds 30 millionth Golf The venerable Beetle is probably the ﬁrst machine anybody thinks of when they hear the words “people’s car,” and rightly so. With 21 million sold over an unprecedented 65-year run, it’s a huge feature in the automotive landscape. With this milestone, however, its humble hatchback descendant blows it into the weeds.

VW has just built its 30,000,000th Golf in Wolfsburg, Germany. That’s a lot of Golfs. Like, an incomprehensible amount nearly. While the water-cooled front-driver is much more mechanically complicated than the old Beetle, many of both are still on the road, and early performance-oriented GTi models are already collectible. VW will keep this milestone car, a turbodiesel, on display at its factory. While much has changed, with airbags and crash protection and traction control, the basic formula remains the same: a simple box with lots of room and a bit of a fun-to-drive factor. Onward to the next 10 million. Next-generation Mustang Shelby dials back the crazy You’d only need a short-range time machine to blow minds with the current Shelby GT500. How much horsepower does my mustang have from the factory? Try 662 ponies crammed into this rear-drive, supercharged steed. Nice Ferrari — wanna race? That’s a ludicrous amount of horsepower for a street car, and Ford is rumoured to be softening up the new car, as a new-generation Mustang is already on the way. The new badge you’ll see will read GT350, and will lose the supercharging. Not to worry, Ford fans. With the nextgen GT cranking out somewhere in the neighbourhood of 450 h.p., the Shelby model is bound to have a still-silly amount of horsepower. Ford will also doubtless program in a little of that tail-happiness that all the best Mustangs have.

CANADA DAY 2013

›› Happy 146th Birthday Canada! On June 20, 1868, a proclamation signed by the Governor General, Lord Monck, called upon all Her Majesty’s loving subjects throughout Canada to join in the celebration of the anniversary of the formation of the union of the British North America provinces in a federation under the name of Canada on July 1st.

government organization charged with planning Canada’s Birthday celebrations) stressed and sponsored the development of local celebrations all across Canada. “Seed money” was distributed to promote popular and amateur activities organized by volunteer groups in hundreds of local communities. The same approach was also followed for the 1981 celebrations with the addition of ﬁreworks displays in 15 major cities across the nation.

The July 1 holiday was established by statute in 1879, under the name Dominion Day. There is no record of organized ceremonies after this ﬁrst anniversary, except for the 50th anniversary of Confederation in 1917, at which time the new Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings, under construction, was dedicated as a memorial to the Fathers of Confederation and to the valour of Canadians ﬁghting in the First World War in Europe.

On Canada Day join Shipyard Sal and Sam for a dynamic tour of the historic Burrard Dry Dock shipyard site! This year, they will dig deep into the unique lives of BDD employees and reveal the patriotic passion and spirit of workers, both on and off the docks.

On October 27, 1982, July 1st which was known as “Dominion Day” became “Canada Day”.

The next celebration was held in 1927 to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Confederation. It was highlighted by the laying of the cornerstone by the Governor General of the Confederation Building on Wellington Street and the inauguration of the Carillon in the Peace Tower. Since 1958, the government has arranged for an annual observance of Canada’s national day with the Secretary of State of Canada in charge of the coordination. The format provided for a Trooping the Colours ceremony on the lawn of Parliament Hill in the afternoon, a sunset ceremony in the evening followed by a mass band concert and ﬁreworks display.

Celebrate Canada’s History

We are proud of the nation we have built together over the last 146 years. Since the earliest days of our history, Canada has been a land of promise. We have built a society that celebrates achievement and excellence, while at the same time maintaining a strong respect for human rights. Our participation in Celebrate Canada activities brings us together, strengthens our communities, and helps us understand the signiﬁcance of the citizenship we all share.

LYNN VALLEY VILLAGE COMMUNITY EVENTS

UPCOMING EVENTS IN THE VILLAGE JULY 1 CANADA DAY CELEBRATION 11AM TO 4PM Fun for the whole family! Music Bouncy Castle Crafts Carnival Games

This Canada Day, there’s a world of entertainment coming to North Vancouver’s Waterfront Park. This yearly celebration, hosted by the Rotary Club of Lions Gate, includes free performances and live music, features some of Vancouver’s best food trucks and provides an array of fun activities for children and families. While the Rotary Club of Lions Gate has found the perfect balance in creating an environment for community members to celebrate our beloved country, within recent years the Club has also worked to celebrate its green initiatives. The Rotary Club of Lions Gate first teamed up with Green Chair Recycling in 2011 in hopes to find a better method to reduce waste intake and further promote thriving towards a greener community. This partnership continually strengthened making each Canada Day Celebration more eco-friendly. In 2012 the Rotary Club of Lions Gate hosted their Greenest Canada Day yet having diverted 124kg of waste from public landfills and having collected 40kg of compostable materials. The success that the 2012 Canada Day Celebrations had in reducing their waste intake left a lasting impression amongst the Canada Day Planning Committee as they hoped to carry their green initiatives and partnership with Green Chair Recycling when planning this year’s event. With the 2013 North Vancouver Canada Day Celebrations a mere days away, the Rotary Club of Lions Gate is confident that this year will surpass last year’s success in recycling initiatives and that the 2013 Canada Day Celebrations will be the greenest year yet. In fact, the club and planning team is hoping to achieve their first zero waste event and are hopeful they can even achieve a negative waste event. In order to do so, Green Chair Recycling will be attending this year’s Canada Day event, having

recycling stations set up throughout the park; making recycling bins more accessible than garbage bins. A park ban has been set on materials such as Styrofoam, plastics and wrappers; encouraging only biodegradable materials to be distributed by vendors. An onsite Water Wagon will be available to the public, allowing guests to refill their water bottles as much as they please for free! The last Green initiative to achieving the desired goal of collecting no waste is the invitation to Canada Day participants to bring energy saving light bulbs and batteries to the event. As these items are more difficult to properly recycle, the event will have recycling bins specifically for batteries and light bulbs. By guests bringing in additional recyclable products, the Rotary Club of Lions Gate hopes this will work to take our zero waste collection into the negatives. The Rotary Club of Lions Gate invites you to spend Canada Day with them in celebration of our country, all while working to become a greener community!
