Name that alley in the name of more fun Christine Lyon clyon@nsnews.com

GASTOWN has Blood Alley, Chinatown has Shanghai Alley and soon Lower Lonsdale could have a uniquely named lane of its very own.

ROMA Wilson believes alleys can have character and has founded the More Fun Alley Association to name the one between Esplanade and First Street east of Lonsdale Avenue In North Vancouver. Scan with Layar for more photos and information.

Last spring, North Vancouver resident Roma Wilson founded the More Fun Alley Association, which aims to turn alleys into cultural and community spaces. The association is now launching a contest to name the stretch of lane between Esplanade and First Street east of Lonsdale Avenue. “It would be nice to give it a descriptor because sometimes it can be a little bit tough to refer to an alleyway just by street names or by landmarks,” Wilson said. “By naming the alley, we hope to also create a connection between the alley and the residents and small business owners who call the alley home.” See Intent page 3

Keating made himself the ﬁrst to declare a bid for the job on Thursday morning. “It was a decision that came over the course of the summer talking to hundreds of members and supporters of the NDP who

were as shocked as I was about the loss we suffered in May and who are as dedicated as I am to making sure we put in the hard work right now that we need to win in 2017 — so we don’t lose a ﬁfth consecutive election and that we can begin to win on a regular basis in the 21st century politics that we have now,” Keating said. Party presidents oversee how the party raises funds and uses its resources, manage the party’s paid staff and work with the leader and caucus to keep everyone on the same page. Speciﬁcally, Keating said the NDP needs to be doing a better job

of “articulating bold policies” and seriously revamping the way the party conducts voter identiﬁcation intel. “We need to get in touch with some of the latest methods of organizing and using data in modern elections. We’ve seen this in the states. The Democratic Party, with low resources, has been able to withstand the onslaught of the hugely funded Republican machine by doing modern forms of organizing, data collection and using it in elections,” Keating said. That will be a long-term project on which the NDP can’t waste any time, added Keating. “It’s only three-and-a-half years until the next election,” he said.

CITY of North Vancouver councillor and former candidate for North Vancouver-Lonsdale Craig Keating is hoping he can help steer the provincial New Democratic Party to a win in 2017 as party president.

A new machine is making water availability possible even in the most remote areas around the world.

The atmospheric water harvester creates drinkable water from the air through a process similar to a regular dehumidifier. “In dehumidification, you’re extracting moisture from the air and then disposing of the water,” said Phil Fraser, vice-president of Splash Water Canada and creator of the machine. “In my technology, we extract the moisture from the air, we store it, then purify it and make it into drinking water.” The machine, which is NEWS photo Cindy Goodman on display in a showroom at 113 East First St. in North PHIL Fraser, executive vice-president of Splash Water for Life shows off his company’s Atmospheric Harvester Vancouver, operates through units in a North Vancouver showroom.

The Name That Alley contest runs Sept. 2 to 5. Residents are invited to enter as many name ideas as they please on the More Fun Alley Association’s Facebook page, or in person at the Café for Contemporary Art on Esplanade. “The only criterion for the names is that they be fun and creative,” said Wilson. A team of judges will pick a name on Sept. 6. Two Daughters Bakeshop and Rayne Longboards have donated prizes for the person who submits the winning entry. While the new alley name may not show up on Google Maps, Wilson hopes it will find its way into the community’s collective geographical vocabulary. “The contest is more of an unofficial, fun contest. Eventually if the name catches on and gets popular then I guess there could be a small ceremony down the road to acknowledge the name.” Wilson said she was inspired to start the More Fun Alley Association after seeing successful alley improvement projects in Seattle, Wash., and Australia. “I thought, ‘Why not try to do something like that here in North Vancouver?’” she said, explaining that alleys needn’t be thought of as crime-ridden, graffiti-laden places. Earlier this summer, Wilson and a team of volunteers built a “tire garden” out of colourfully painted rubber car tires, which they decoratively placed in the same lane Wilson is now hoping to name. “One of the core values of the More Fun Alley Association is reducing and reusing stuff,” she said, adding, “Next year I’d like to do urban gardens in alleyways.”

NV coal, grain drive increase in port exports Brent Richter brichter@nsnews.com

PORT Metro Vancouver is on its way to posting a record year for handling cargo, owing largely to increased output from North Vancouver’s coal and grain terminals. PMV released its mid-year report on Tuesday, showing six-per-cent growth over the same period last year. “The drivers of growth for the bulk exports in particular are coal, grain and potash. Of course they’re all quantities handled on the North Shore. Coal is up about nine per cent overall. Grain, ﬁve per cent and potash, 26 per cent,” said Robin Silvester, PMV’s president and CEO. “The two grain terminals, (Richardson

International and Cargill Canada) and Neptune Terminal must be having a good year, which is good news.” Silvester attributes the growth to continuous demand in the Chinese market and slight increases in capacity at the North Shore’s terminals. “Even with talk of China slowing down a bit, it’s still a big economy and it’s still growing at a pretty strong rate and thus the metallurgical coal and grain and potash are all in demand,” he said. But with Neptune and Richardson already having applications to expand their operations approved by the port, and the Low Level Road project making room for more rail lines, the real growth in shipping from the North Shore is yet to come. Richardson is in the engineering phase of a $120million expansion of its grain

another 80,000 tonnes of grain. Neptune is planning to double its coal handling.

While the approval process at council and the construction impacts of the Low Level Road project have left many North Vancouver feathers ruffled, the tangible benefits beyond increased economic activity will soon be plain to see, Silvester said. “I think once it’s finished, the community will see the benefits of the project much more clearly with the Spirit Trail and bikes lanes and obviously that potentially dangerous slope being fully stabilized,” Silvester said. In the last year, the port has drawn protests from environmental activists who accused PMV of being a handmaiden to climate change for its role in expanding coal exports destined for boilers in Chinese factories. But it is unfair to put the blame on the port, Silvester said, as it has no role in deciding what

commodities Canada trades with other nations. And the port’s own environmental record is stellar, Silvester added. “We operate a carbonneutral organization. We have had a lot of accolades for the work we’ve done to improve theenvironmentalperformance of the supply chain and reduce environmental impact. So we are absolutely doing our part, in fact doing it much more than many individuals and organizations,” Silvester said. And when it comes to problem of rising sea levels and unpredictable weather that climate change brings, no one is without sin, he added. “Lets face it: things like carbon emissions and climate change are down to everyone. It’s everyone driving cars, going in airplanes just as much as it is the export of coal,” he said.

2 BMX cyclists ride over fallen man, 57 Jeremy Shepherd jshepherd@nsnews.com

POLICE are looking for a witness after an incapacitated 57-year-old West Vancouver man was run over and beaten by bicycles ridden by two young men Wednesday night The West Vancouverite had collapsed in the 100-block of Whonoak Road shortly after 10 p.m., according to police. A witness was moving to help when he saw two BMX cyclists ride across the fallen man. One of the suspects allegedly returned, picked up his bike, and used it to hit the victim in the head. The man suffered superﬁcial injuries to his upper body and head. He was released from hospital the next morning. “Fortunately his injuries aren’t going to be life-altering,” said West Vancouver Police Department spokesman Const. Jeff Palmer.

The case is complicated by the victim’s limited recollection. “He recalls falling . . . and then recalls nothing after that,” Palmer said. Police have been left with several questions to answer. “What we don’t know is: How long was he lying there?” Palmer said. There is no indication the man was targeted for any particular reason, according to Palmer. “We have nothing to indicate motive. Nothing said that was heard,” Palmer said. “(This) may just be an ugly crime of opportunity.” The suspects are described as being between 20 and 30 and wearing black hoodies and jeans. Palmer is hopeful police may gather a more detailed description from any witnesses who saw the duo leaving the area. “We have relatively little to go on at this point,” Palmer said. West Vancouver Police are asking anyone with information to call 604-925-7300.

Incumbent Moe Sihota yet to state his plans From page 1 “It’ll go by in a ﬂash unless we’re doing hard work right now.” The NDP is scheduled to hold its convention in November, at which time delegates from constituencies around the province will meet to vote for their president, a paid position, and executive. Current president Moe Sihota, who was elected in 2009, has not stated his plans yet.

“I think Moe’s done some great work but the members I’ve talked to this summer have been very keen to see some substantial change in how we move in the party. Arguably that means the personalities that are involved,” Keating said. As for whether that also means New Democrats ought to be selecting a new leader, Keating said it’s too soon to say. “I think we need to give Adrian (Dix) the opportunity

to make up his own mind on his future. . . . I think, quite frankly, leadership is almost immaterial to the challenges we face right now,” he said. “If I’m successful as party president, I have to work with whomever the leader of the party is and it has to be a close relationship. I think it would be inappropriate at this stage to get out and say, ‘favourites, not favourites, whathave-you.’” If elected, Keating will

remain on city council and he intends to run again in 2014. If his workload becomes too heavy, Keating said he will likely cut back the hours he puts in as a political science instructor at Langara College. “Bruce Ralston. . . for many years served as a Surrey city councillor, was a practising lawyer and was party president as well,” Keating said, “I think it’s something that can be done and has been done.”

On the record

OMEOWNERS in West Vancouver should pay attention to the latest point longtime council-watcher George Pajari is attempting to make with district council and its planning staff. Why? Because the answer might possibly affect how much property tax they pay over the next few years. When a property is rezoned, for example from single-family to multifamily, its value increases in proportion to what can now be built there. That increase in value is referred to in West Van bureaucratese as “uplift.” InWestVancouver,themunicipality’s share of the uplift proﬁt is 75 per cent — but it is calculated purely on the increase in base land value, not the “improved” or built-out sale price. Obviously for the formula to be meaningful, a current and accurate land

value must be assessed on the property in question and a value calculated for the new zoning. Pajari has questioned the valuations West Vancouver has used on two recent developments and argues that the municipality — and its taxpayers — are being shortchanged. He points out that when it comes to calculating the municipality’s percentage on the Grosvenor deal in the 1300-block of Marine Drive, millions of dollars are involved. We are in no position to judge whether the district has received the correct uplift contributions in the two developments that Pajari has questioned to date. But one thing is crystal clear: in the interest of transparency, the appraisal documentation should be part of the public record and not require an FOI application to ferret it out.

Liberals need to meter Nestlé’s water tap

STEWART Phillip and the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs aren’t the only ones who should be outraged by the Swiss behemoth Nestlé sucking free water out of its well near Hope. All British Columbians should be furious that this many-tentacled corporate octopus — domiciled in a nation that deserves far more hard-eyed criticism than it ever gets — is drawing 265 million litres of water every year from the well. And sells it. In little bottles. Doesn’t have a permit. Doesn’t need one. Know of any other enterprise that pays zero for its raw product and without the annoyance of fussy permits? How can other bottlers compete with that? Anyone for a level playing pond? How this can happen in a country with bureaucratic regulatory agencies to the sky, and grossly over-governed — we need more MPs and MLAs like we need more privilege abusers like Pamela Wallin

This Just In

Trevor Lautens and Mike Duffy at the Senate trough — beggars belief. Grand Chief Phillip, president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, unsurprisingly supports the Chawathil First Nation, which claims the well is in its traditional territory — a concept, as an aside, guaranteed to screw up B.C. forever except for enriching band councils, lawyers and bureaucrats. But the groundwater issue concerns all. So deploy some of your famous moxie, Christy Clark, to put revisions to the B.C. Water Act scheduled for

2014 right at the top of the priority list for the legislature fall session. And make Nestlé pay big-time — somewhat more than the cost of a driver’s licence — if it wants to continue the business. Might this caricature of competition haughtily get up and leave? I’d personally hold the door. Not likely, though. Nestlé deﬁnes corporate obesity. It’s the biggest food company by revenue in the world. It’s No. 1 in the FT (Financial Times) Global 500 and the Fortune Global 500. If you tried to boycott Nestlé-linked products, you could starve, or die for lack of medicine, or even from ugliness. Wikipedia lists just some of the 8,000 companies it owns, co-owns, has big shares in, or has distribution or other deals with. You’ll recognize some past and present names: Kraft, Carnation, Pﬁzer, Gerber, Libby’s, Ovaltine, Crosse & Blackwell, San Pellegrino, Perrier (water for those connoisseurs who eschew some of the best tap water from on and below the earth).

Nescafé, Stouffer’s and Belgian chocolate and Greek ice cream makers you’ve never heard of, not to overlook Haagen-Dazs. Also Rowntree Mackintosh, Aero, Cheerios, Shreddies, Coffee Crisp, Kit Kat, Smarties. Not to forget the pets: Purina, Friskies, Dog Chow. For the body healthy and the face beautiful: ColgatePalmolive, Novaris, Jenny Craig, L’Oreal’s many brands, The Body Shop. With clout like that, Nestlé deﬁnes the gulf between market-makers and markettakers. Nestlé’s homeland, Switzerland, is an anomaly, for sure. There’s something to be said for a neutral country as the clearing house for back-channel diplomacy, wartime refugees, spies, and art contraband and safekeeping. Shrewdly, the Swiss took 57 years to join the United Nations (2002) and never seem to help anyone but themselves. The government ofﬁcially described its peacekeeping contribution:

“In early 2012 the number of Swiss citizens deployed abroad totalled 265. However, the Swiss government plans to increase the number of Swiss soldiers available for peacekeeping missions to 500 by 2014.” Wow. What a helping hand. (Or, to be fair, a model for all countries?) Its banks are dragged kicking and screaming into lifting secrecy on US$2.2 trillion stored by international tax evaders — isn’t that laundering the proceeds of crime, hurting the honest in the democracies and the world’s poor? Arguably there’s a better reason for invading Switzerland than Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries where it’s getting late in the year for the “Arab spring.” ••• Further solving the world’s problems, concerning the allegation of the use of nerve gas by the Syrian government and the reaction: I don’t trust Russia. I don’t trust the West. I don’t trust media coverage. I don’t trust the Syrian government, knowing little

about it except as reported by (especially American) media. I don’t trust the Syrian rebels, knowing little about them except as reported by (especially American) media. I trust Voltaire: “In the case of news, we should always wait for the sacrament of conﬁrmation.”

••• I’d claim that Horseshoe Bay’s Troller Pub serves Vancouver’s ﬁnest salmon burger, except that now I rarely try others. It’s that good. Troller has moved one block into the former Japanese restaurant and rebranded itself as the Troller Ale House. No doubt the burger will be just as succulent, but, oh my, the loss of the pub’s character. ••• Increasing the number of Commons seats is stupid. The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission’s creation of the riding of Burnaby NorthSeymour is the triumph of idiocy over stupidity. rtlautens@gmail.com

Dix looks like he’s alone with the NDP sharks WHEN then-premier Mike Harcourt’s government was engulfed in scandal and controversy in the mid-1990s, speculation began to build on whether he could hang on as leader. There was mounting tension within the NDP caucus over his leadership, but no one was speaking out publicly about that elephant in the room. At the time, an NDP cabinet minister told me: “There’s blood in the water, but so far no sharks.” Well, there is blood in the water once again when it comes to an NDP leader’s hold on the job, and there are indeed sharks in the party who smell that blood. Ironically, Harcourt is now one of those sharks. Harcourt has become the latest in a growing crowd of NDP notables calling on

embattled NDP leader Adrian Dix to step down. He told the Globe and Mail’s Gary Mason it was time for him to go, and his public criticism puts even more pressure on Dix to throw in the towel. Former NDP cabinet ministers Ian Waddell and Bob Williams (both once close to Dix), ex-party president Sav Dhaliwal, and former MLAs David Schreck and Guy Gentner preceded

Harcourt in calling on Dix to quit. Interestingly and perhaps more telling is that no NDP notable, past or present, has publicly called on Dix to stay on as leader. His own caucus has offered only tepid support for him, with members saying they are conﬁdent Dix will “reﬂect” on his situation and “come to a decision.” Even one of his closest associates, MLA John Horgan, would not say out loud that Dix should stay as leader in a lengthy scrum with reporters at the end of the recent legislature session. While Horgan didn’t exactly throw Dix under the bus, he parked it close by. Now Harcourt has moved that bus even nearer. Unless key people in the party start issuing public calls for Dix to continue, it won’t be long before he pulls the plug himself. Dix’s leadership is

bleeding, and sharks like Harcourt and others are starting to ﬁll up the NDP pool. ••• The board of directors at B.C. Ferries has once again displayed a key ﬂaw in the model the B.C. Liberals came up with to govern the company soon after the 2001 election. The board has approved large salary hikes and bonuses for senior executives, even though the provincial government is about to reduce service levels on many of its routes while at the same time increasing the taxpayer subsidy to the company. The strange private/public hybrid that is B.C. Ferries is trying to have it both ways: insisting on operating as a private entity, yet sticking its hand into the public trough, looking for more cash. The board has long argued it models the company on

private sector companies, and not Crown corporations. Yet no other “private” company gets a subsidy of close to $200 million a year from the provincial government. Without that subsidy, the company would have to make massive service cuts or it would, on paper, suffer a huge monetary loss. So the board’s directors (who also created controversy a few years ago for paying themselves much higher fees than any other Crown’s board) have made a politically tone-deaf decision that many frustrated ferry users will undoubtedly unfavourably contrast with constantly rising fares and looming service cuts. The company’s private/ public model has made Transportation Minister Todd Stone look weak, as he’s expressed dissatisfaction with the bonuses yet appears powerless to do anything

about it (which is a bizarre situation for a cabinet minister to be in when you consider how much money his government gives to that company each year). If the B.C. Ferries board keeps making decisions that blow back politically on the provincial government, don’t be surprised if that government changes the model for the company yet again. The current model was created on Gordon Campbell’s watch. Premier Christy Clark has shown a willingness to revisit other Campbell legacies (raising both the minimum wage and corporate taxes, for example) and she may take another look at this one as well.

Common sense needed in WV cell tower debate

Dear Editor: I write regarding the cell towers proposed for West Vancouver. I am a retired independent telecommunication engineer, with more than 60 years experience working with and around radio transmission equipment and associated antennas. I have never been employed by a cellular telephone service provider and have no financial interest in any such company. Recently, after attending an event at the Harmony Arts Festival in West Vancouver, I found a flyer on my windshield produced by the West Vancouver Cell Tower Action Group (CTAG). I commend them on publicly identifying themselves as a group. The flyer expresses concern about the supposed harmful effects of radio emissions from the proposed cellular antenna sites, and urges people to protest against those installations. Much has been published regarding studies of the possible harmful effects of radio emissions — many by persons having apparently little knowledge or understanding of the basic physics involved — most of which have concluded that “more study is needed.” My own conclusion, based on my years of experience and years of exposure, is that there is no harmful effect at the power levels permitted by Safety Code 6 — the Health Canada guideline for radio-frequency exposure, which Industry Canada uses in regulating and licensing all radio transmitter installations

in Canada. However, science will never completely resolve this issue; science can only establish degrees of certainty, or uncertainty, always searching for new and more revealing information. In the end, this can only be adjudicated through a political process. My concern is that the political process will work properly only if the politicians involved educate themselves properly, using reason and common sense, not letting themselves be unduly swayed be emotions and the loudness of the voices championing one position or the other. One final comment: If the protesters truly are concerned about the effects of radio emissions, they need to recognize that the radio field power density falls off as the square of the distance from the source — doubling the distance reduces the field power density to one-quarter. Therefore, a higher tower will result in less exposure than a short tower, for a given source of radio-frequency energy. You can’t have it both ways — if you want less exposure, accept higher towers; if you want shorter towers, accept more exposure. Bill Tracey North Vancouver

Editor’s note: The District of West Vancouver is hosting a town hall meeting to discuss the three cell tower applications currently before council on Wednesday, Oct. 2 at 7 p.m. at the Seniors’ Activity Centre, 695 21st. St.

INQUIRING REPORTER WITH the race underway for a new International Olympic Committee president, many might be wondering if there will be changes in the way the organization is run. The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi are fast approaching and Russia’s stance on homosexuality has some calling on the IOC to take a stand. But the organization has its own Olympic Charter, including a code of ethics that governs the way the Games are run. In the case of the human rights issues surrounding the Sochi games, is the IOC really adhering to it’s own charter and making its stance known? — Anne Watson

r us o f k Loo

Robert Wire North Vancouver “It would be nice if they could, but I think it’s impossible with the circumstances.”

Should the IOC remain politically neutral on human rights?

Chris Atkins Lions Bay “I think its possible but it’s a pretty tall order with what’s at stake.”

Maricris Negrana North Vancouver “They have to be neutral to a point but they also have to listen to the political leaders because they have to get approval of the country it’s held in.”

David Deresh Surrey “No, because they’re the ones that host it and they have to stand on some kind of ground.”

WEST Vancouver Fire and Rescue came to the aid of a 21-year-old Gibsons man who found himself stuck amid the steep cliffs overlooking Horseshoe Bay as darkness fell Tuesday.

The man took a short hike while waiting for his ferry but got lost in a precarious spot on his way back, according to WVPD spokesman Const. Jeff Palmer. “Had he slipped and fallen, he could’ve been looking at some pretty serious injuries,” said Palmer. West Vancouver police were called shortly after 9 p.m., but found the terrain too steep to walk the disoriented ferry passenger to safety, necessitating a call to West Van Fire and Rescue. “Fortunately the firefighters and their rope rescue training was close at hand,” Palmer said. The Fire and Rescue crew completed a rope rescue just before midnight. The man missed his ferry. Police caution that even a short hike in unfamiliar territory can be dangerous, and advise hikers to pack proper equipment and make sure they can finish their trek before the sun goes down. — Jeremy Shepherd

THERE are shows where your favourite characters might be brutally murdered at a wedding for no particular reason — and then there’s Debbie Macomber’s Cedar Cove. It’s an enclave where longtime friends can watch snowﬂakes drift past a windowpane while trading love stories over piping hot cups of mulled cider. Inspired by the series of novels penned by Macomber, the tiny northwest hamlet is a place where basketfuls of puppies are mysteriously left on doorsteps. The show is largely ﬁlmed in North Vancouver, where producer Connie Dolphin shoulders the task of bringing Macomber’s world to life. “I was born in North Vancouver so I like returning,” Dolphin says. “I think it’s comfortable. It’s like a really nice cashmere sweater,” Dolphin says of the show’s appeal. “You’re learning about these people and there’s not darkness and death and violence. . . . It’s a really refreshing respite from everything else that’s available for viewers nowadays.” In keeping with the author’s Christian beliefs, Cedar Cove’s residents never veer too deeply into the sensual or sexual. “It’s much more emotionally based,” Dolphin says. Starring Andie MacDowell as Judge Olivia Lockhart, the show is something new for the Hallmark network, which tends to focus on talk shows, feel-good reality programs and re-runs. However, Debbie Macomber’s Cedar Cove blends well with the Hallmark esthetic, according to Dolphin “Things are gentler and more delicate and I think that Cedar Cove epitomizes a Hallmark show in the sense that it’s beautifully shot. Nice sweet stories. There are bumps along the way . . . but it’s a nice drive,” she says. A Vietnam war veteran commits suicide in one of Macomber’s books, but that storyline was dropped for the show.

“That was too heavy for Hallmark,” Macomber says, discussing the story change with the Seattle Times. “The books, because there’s so many of them, there’s way more storylines and she has more depth, but really I think it comes down to relationships,” Dolphin says. “It’s relationships from a female’s perspective whether it’s with a mother, a daughter, a lover, an ex-husband or a husband, it’s relationships of all sorts.” Dolphin is the show’s on-the-ground producer, meaning it’s her job to make sure Cedar Cove looks as good as it should look. While the director and actors are focused on the show currently filming, Dolphin meets with the editor to talk about last week’s show and casts actors for next week’s broadcast. “Every day is different. That’s why I like it,” she says. “You have two responsibilities: your one responsibility is logistically to make sure that all the components and all of the spokes to the wheel all turn at the same time. . . . Your other responsibility is on the creative side to make sure that the quality is maintained, that the production value makes it to the screen and that you’re true to the stories.” For Dolphin, the key to the new show’s longevity is in unearthing new characters and finding new depth in the old ones. “No different than The Beachcombers in its day,” she says. “Each person has their own story. And so even if you just focus on one person, it’s how their story interacts and intersects with other people.” Since first finding a readership for her brand of romantic restraint in 1988, Macomber has averaged approximately one novel or novella every two months for a quarter of a century. She has sold more than 100 million books and been translated into nearly two-dozen languages. The Cedar Cove series includes 15 titles dating back to 16 Lighthouse Road, which kicked off the collection in 2001. The show airs Sundays on the W Network in Canada.

Closed Circuit depicts life under surveillance Julie Crawford Contributing writer

IF you think we have Big Brother trouble on this side of the Atlantic, stay away from London, which by one estimate has almost half a million closed circuit TV cameras: one for every 14 people in the city. Before the opening credits are through, these cameras document a suicide bombing at a London market that claims the lives of 120 people. It’s an immensely relevant thriller; a smart one too, which makes it a breath of fresh air after all that summer silliness (how many times can we watch the White House blow up, anyway?).

Six months after the bombing defense attorney Martin Rose (Eric Bana) is assigned to the high-proﬁle case after the previous counsel takes a leap from a very tall building. Also assigned to Martin’s team is Claudia SimmonsHowe (Rebecca Hall), but as special advocate she is privy to secret evidence that may threaten national security, to be argued behind locked doors. Under British law the two may not chat, meet or have tea and crumpets. Too bad they’ve already slept together. The attorney-general (Jim Broadbent, playing the baddie for a change) promises that the proceedings will be “open and transparent” but what he really wants is neat and tidy, a scapegoat on which to hang a quick conviction. They try and build a defense for their client, a Turkish national named Farroukh Erdogan (Denis Moschitto) who isn’t particularly cooperative. Martin delves deeper only to discover

Gunplay absent in Crowley’s stylish thriller From page 19 that the real responsibility for the act of terrorism lies elsewhere, and a journalist (Julia Stiles) implies that the original lawyer may have been pushed from that ledge. The two deduce separately that they are being followed and watched, by an MI5 agent (Riz Ahmed, very good), by taxi drivers, and by those ubiquitous CCTV cameras. Right when they are ready to concede defeat and wave a white ﬂag, the stakes are upped when it is discovered

that Farroukh’s teenage son (Hasancan Cifci) could blow the whole thing open. If you sat through some of the movies that boomed through theatres this summer, you may be unused to the fact that, other than the dramatic explosion at Closed Circuit’s beginning, there is a dearth of pyrotechnics and — gasp! — no gunplay at all. There are plenty of bobbies walking around in SWAT gear, however, and the bad guys have quieter methods for ofﬁng their victims. A love story may seem unlikely and contrived under the circumstances but

director John Crowley makes it work: no torrid bedroom scenes here, just a flashback to happier times intercut with the miserable present (the affair clearly destroyed Martin’s marriage). Despite spending much of the film working separately, Bana and Hall make a convincing pair. This isn’t a particularly twisty thriller, and you won’t have to work very hard to keep up — it is still officially summer, after all — but Closed Circuit is a stylish and admirably acted film that taps into jitters about our surveillance state.

MUSIC

Electro-pop artist lights up the PNE stage n Lights performs at the PNE Sept. 1 at 8:30 p.m. Concert is free with fair gate admission. Reserved seats start at $15. Visit pne.ca for info.

Nicholas M. Pescod Contributing Writer

WHEN Valerie Anne Poxleitner was a little girl and felt scared at night, she often sought comfort from the sounds of her father’s guitar.

“I grew up in the Philippines for a number of years and if I was ever scared at night my dad would play his guitar downstairs and it made everything go away and feel OK.” It was her father’s musical teachings that led Poxleitner, better known as Lights, to create her own sound of music. On Sept. 1 Lights will be making her ﬁrst ever performance at the Paciﬁc National Exhibition in Vancouver. “I am excited about it, I’ve actually never been to the PNE before,” she says. “I know we’re going to have a full band set.” Following her performance at the PNE, the electro-pop musician will embark on a small university tour, which will see her perform at the University of Alberta, University of Waterloo, McMaster University, Mount Royal University, and Algonquin College.

In November, the 2009 Juno Award winner will be opening for American rock band Paramore at their Toronto and Montreal performances. “That’s going to be awesome, I love getting to share the stage with other female fronted acts, or all female acts,” Lights says. “It’s not as common as you think. We just got off a couple of dates with Tegan and Sara, which was another great feeling.” Lights was born in Timmins, Ont., but spent the majority of her childhood living in the Philippines and Jamaica, due to her parents work as missionaries. She also lived in Surrey and Langley, B.C., for a short time. The Ontario native’s musical beginnings started to light up around the time she was 11 years old. “Probably the ﬁrst thing that got me into music was my dad teaching me how to play the guitar when I was 11. He had been playing for as long as I had been around,” Lights says. As a teenager Lights spent a large portion of her time writing songs in her bedroom and experimenting with musical production. When she was 18-years-old, she moved to Toronto and legally changed her name to Lights. “I think I recognized the power of music,” Lights says about her involvement with music. “There is some kind of magic that is there and I wanted to get involved with that and learn how to use that craft, and I am working on that every day.” Growing up Lights listened to music

by artists such as Björk, Supertramp and Genesis. She says that Björk has had a very big influence on her. “Just her efforts and her whole genre that she has created. She’s Björk and she’s very recognizable for who she is,” Lights says. “I think that is so important, you do things differently and there are rules. You see that with somebody like Björk and I’ve always thought that was cool.” During her youth, Lights was often times a victim of bullying. There were incidents where her car was keyed, or people wanted to fight her. She says her own personal goals and aspirations helped her get through the tough times. “I think my own strength and ambitions kept me through that. I knew that I was going to do great things and that is part of the vision of becoming who you are,” Light says. In 2007, Lights spent one week writing and recorded songs at Centennial College’s Centre for Creative Communication in Toronto for the fourth season of CTV’s Instant Star. Since then, she has released three studio albums and three EPs. Her albums The Listening and Siberia were both gold certified by the Canadian Recording Industry Association and both Juno nominated. Lights explains that she is constantly trying to improve and grow with each album that she releases. See Lights page 26

MUSIC

Lights expects to release new album next year From page 22

“It is a constant challenge and I think that’s how it always will be. It will always be harder and harder to one-up yourself and evolve and find inspiration in a different way than you did before,” Lights says. “As far as I want to take my career, I don’t want to do the same thing over again.” “I would have said Siberia was the hardest record before I started recording this new one. It’s definitely challenging making it to find out where you want to go and make it something you’re really proud of,” Lights adds. Lights is currently hard at work on a new album, which she hopes to have out sometime

next year. “It’s just writing at this stage,” she says. “It could go anywhere in terms of the way it could get produced. I’m still just searching at this point.” When it comes to writing music, the Juno nominee says she often writes on the road or at a friend’s place in Fort Erie, Ont. “One thing that I do like to do is get out of my house. It’s one thing to write and stay at home but it is easier when you’re not there.” According to the electro-pop singer, her biggest challenge throughout her career has been maintaining her integrity. “There are so many options along the way to sell out, and I don’t mean sell out in the way

of working for a big corporation or anything, I mean letting your sense of self slip away,” she says. “It is important not to falter because of that. Stick to who you are, take your vision. There always has to be a vision that you chase or else you will become like everyone else.” “Be who the artist that you’ve created yourself to be,” she adds. Earlier this year Lights travelled more than 4,000 kilometres from Toronto to Inuvik, NWT, to perform songs from her album Siberia at Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church, which is also known as the Igloo Church. “The people and the surroundings were out of this world. You really felt like you were on another planet,” Light says. “It just made me

realize that there is so much about Canada that I have never seen and don’t know. There are some fans up there, which blew my mind. I guess that’s the power of the Internet.” Although Lights has played across North America and received three Juno nominations, taking home one trophy, she says performing at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto was one moment in her career that stands out for her. “There are lots of different moments that are special,” she says. “One that I remember being really special was playing the CNE in Toronto. That’s what I hope for at the PNE. It is a great vibe. People are happy and it is summer. I’m looking forward to it.”

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to FASHION & STYLE

Editors share their fall favourites Christine Lyon clyon@nsnews.com

TREND followers ﬂocked to the new Loblaws City Market on Lonsdale Avenue mid-month to hear two Canadian style experts weigh in on what’s hot for fall 2013.

Erin McLaughlin, editor-inchief at Style at Home magazine, and Jennifer Reynolds, editorin-chief at Canadian Living magazine, ﬂew in from Toronto to discuss fresh fads in food, fashion and home decor. According to the pair, here’s what’s in vogue for the upcoming season:

Fashion

Expect to see the “preppy look” everywhere, says McLaughlin, who attended the trend event sporting her own interpretation of the classic student style. In black corduroy pants with a cuff, nude pumps, a patterned top layered beneath a jean jacket and topped with multiple necklaces, McLaughlin said she was trying to blend preppy and Parisian esthetics to create a more personalized ensemble. When it comes to colour, she said she is loving ink blue — a grey-blue shade and contemporary alternative to navy. “We’re looking at navy right now in a whole new way. Navy used to be that safe colour,” McLaughlin says, explaining it’s no longer a fashion faux pas to pair dark blue with black. Animal prints are also popular, she says, but expect to see the typically loud motifs take a more subtle turn this fall. Meanwhile, Reynolds showed up to the trend event in timeless black and white: a white collarless long-sleeved blouse, slim-ﬁtting black pants and black and white pointytoed pumps. She added a burst of colour with a pair of pink chandelier earrings. “It’s interesting that pink keeps creeping up, even in the

STYLE at Home’s Erin McLaughlin and Canadian Living’s Jennifer Reynolds see what’s in store at Joe Fresh on Lonsdale. The Toronto-based magazine editors were in town recently to chat trends in food, fashion and decor for fall. Scan with the Layar app for a video clip of their presentation. fall,” Reynolds says, noting pink is now especially prevalent in the world of high fashion. Both editors agree the best way to save money and avoid falling out of fashion in a matter of months is to invest in highquality basics and experiment with trendy accessories. “It’s all about personal style and pulling together your favourite pieces and rocking them,” Reynolds says. “If you walk with the right swagger you can put together any outﬁt.”

Home decor Preppy pieces and ink blue aren’tjustpoppingupinclothing stores, they can also be found in the home, says McLaughlin, adding that harvest-inspired hues such as rusty red are also hot for fall. When it comes to interior

decor, expect to ﬁnd more non-traditional materials on the market. “We’reseeingalotofmixtures of modern and contemporary lines in more interesting natural materials,” McLaughlin says. “We’re seeing a lot of bamboo now, which is great because it’s more environmentally friendly.” She encourages people to play around with decor trends — without breaking the bank. “Inexpensive things like toss cushions or even picture frames or a ceramic vase in different colours or patterns that you want to experiment with aren’t a huge ﬁnancial commitment,” she says. McLaughlin reminds people: “The most important thing is to buy what you love, not what people tell you to buy.” As with fashion, Reynolds says it’s OK to splurge on

timeless essentials. “In your closet it’s that great black pair of pants and that really nice structured jacket and in your home it’s that killer couch, it’s those really good armchairs,” she says.

Food Look for protein-packed Greek yogurt and the South American super-grain quinoa in your local grocery store this fall. According to Reynolds, these healthy and versatile foods are still riding a wave of popularity. In the produce department, check out the baby vegetable selection. They’re nutrient-rich, fun to cook and kid-friendly, Reynolds says. “They always look so pretty on the plate as well,” she adds. Pulled pork is a popular and

economical family dinner. “It’s a cheap cut of meat,” Reynolds says, explaining the shredded pork can be prepared in the slow cooker and added to pizza, burgers or even tacos. McLaughlin, meanwhile, is noticing a health trend with grocery stores stocking more organic products and guilt-free snacks, such as kale chips. “You used to see these things only in tiny health food stores so it’s really great to see grocery stores bringing those things in because that’s what people want,” she says. When it comes to holding dinner parties, Reynolds and McLaughlin both agree that today, the host needn’t do all the work. “We’re deﬁnitely seeing a lot of ultra-chic potlucks,” Reynolds says, “which is a really nice, refreshing way to entertain.”

MUSIC

Fill the Sky captures feeling of live music

From page 32

bachelor of music in jazz studies degree program, is aiming for laughs or societalreﬂection. Their music also offers stories chalk-full with depth and meaning, such as their release entitled “Relapse.” “A shot glass and it’s half full, compliments of some other fool,” sings Severinson on the track, which can be found on YouTube. “With that old look it’s hopeless, I’ve never been able to resist. But I try to remember everything that happened last time. I try, but I forget about it all as she walks by.” Addiction to a venomous love? Dependency on alcohol? Joking about Facebook? No topic is taboo to Dubai. “We run in circles, we all relapse,” sings

Bennett. “Twelve steps forward and 12 steps back.” Listen to them a little while and it’s hard to put the band under just one label. Even their self-described “progressive rock” sound is followed by a brief pause and a “kind of” from Bennett and Severinson. “We love indie music, love modern rock music, there’s a sort of common bond there,” Severinson said. “The music is mostly rockbased, but there’s lots of jazz and progressive rock there as well.” The two laugh as they remember a choir they used for a few songs on their upcoming album, Fill the Sky, as well. While some might think too many chefs spoil the broth, Dubai’s poignant lyricism, harmonious vocals and wide range of sound seem to work like pieces from different

puzzles somehow fitting together and producing something entirely original. Kerrey and Bennett were born and raised in Deep Cove, attending both Cove Cliff and Seycove schools growing up before attending Capilano University. Both Severinson and Bennett point to the Capilano music program as the reason they all work so well together and why they’re not afraid to try new things. “We find it really nice because we have come from the same place and articulate our ideas in an efficient way,” Bennett said. And work they did. Their album Fill the Sky was recorded in two weeks inside Hive Creative Labs in Burnaby with the band working 12-hour days. “We were recording all at the same time,” Severinson said. “We wanted to capture that

live element instead of just playing the drums all by themselves, then the guitars, and then the lyrics. We tracked together to get that energy.” In celebration of all their hard work the band is putting on a CD-release party at The Media Club on Cambie Street in Vancouver on Sept. 1. “All our hearts and minds have been poured into this one, and we couldn’t be more excited for you to get this disc in your hands!” writes Dubai on their Facebook page. The doors will be open at 8 p.m. and the show starts at 9 p.m. on Sept. 1. Cover is $10 and albums will be available for purchase.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to THE ROAD

Cars that drive on their own merging into trafﬁc Brendan McAleer Contributing Writer

photo Brendan McAleer

THE comically overpowered Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT doesn’t make much sense in this age of hybrids and hatchbacks but there’s no denying the joy it brings when you stomp on the throttle.

thing is underpinned by the Mercedes-Benz ML chassis, the ride is very smooth. The exterior of the SRT version of the Grand Cherokee gets a wee bit more wild. Slitted LED headlights give the truck a menacing glower, and the massive, chromed lower intakes look like the ﬂared nostrils of an angry rhinoceros. The hood ripples with horsepower, and is deeply slashed with cooling vents. The fenders bulge to contain massively wide, dark-chromed 20-inch alloy wheels. Out back a pair of vuvuzela-sized exhaust pipes stand ready to trumpet that Hemi V-8 bellow to the world. Environment

Sadly, roughly 2.5 billion other drivers seemed to have had the same idea, and as I approached the city sometimes known as Stumptown, trafﬁc coagulated into the sluggish crawl that’s familiar to any resident of the Lower Mainland. No problem — I set the cruise control, pushed my seat back, cracked open a bottle of water and stared out the side window at the riverside scenery. Now I know what you’re thinking: isn’t this part of some old urban myth about the guy in the Winnebago sticking the cruise on and then going in the back to make a sandwich? In that hoary old tale, the ‘bago leaves the road at speed, and then the lawyers get involved. However, in this case, the Merc’ I’m auto-piloting comes equipped with a selfsteering mechanism that’s fully functional below 28 kilometres per hour. It’s also equipped with an excellent radar-guided cruise-control system that actually monitors two cars ahead to assist with smooth acceleration and braking inputs, and it can stop the car entirely if need be.

WITH the 40th anniversary of American Grafﬁti just past, many people have been telling me, “youngsters these days with their mePads and facetwitters — they’ll never know what it was like to grow up when hot rods were around.”

Grinding Gears

Oh, horsefeathers. Just take a look at this thing. On paper, it’s just the sort of machine that makes me despair about the state of the modern automotive industry. It’s a wildly over-powered SUV that shrugs off the laws of physics by the application of plenty of horsepower, big, sticky rubber, and dinner-

plate-sized brakes. Worse, this monstrosity’s badged as a Jeep — you know, the brand that’s made their name as purveyors of rugged, dirt-clambering 4x4s — and you can’t really take it offroad. It’s almost ridiculously aggressive in appearance,

and even though there are hardly any kilometres on my test vehicle, it appears to be halfway through chewing up its front tires. An entirely stupid behemoth then, some ridiculous ego-machine with no practical application and a vendetta against the environment? Maybe, or at least it would be if it wasn’t so much damn fun. Hulk smash! Design In many ways, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is essentially an American Range Rover. You get clean, reserved styling, a spacious, well-thought-out interior, it can tackle just the same roughness of terrain as its more agricultural cousin the Wrangler and, as the whole

Chrysler’s infotainment system one of the best From page 43

Inside the Death Star, things are only slightly more reserved. Yes, it’s a Chrysler product, so you might expect a lack of refinement, but the Grand Cherokee is actually surprisingly well stitched together. The dash layout is nicely ergonomic, featuring a large touch-screen display mounted above a set of functional knobs and buttons to handle climate control functions. There’s double-row stitched leather everywhere, and a strangely reserved amount of carbon fibre trim. The chunky steering wheel is far more sensible than you’d find in a Mustang GT,

without a ton of plastic on it, and while the paddle shifters are located a little too high, all the other driver controls are quite intuitive. Mastering the console shifter, with its tendency to skip reverse on the way to park, can make three-point turns a little tricky, but you soon get the hang of it. Front seat comfort is great, and the suede centre sections of the seats do a great job of holding the driver in place without so much bolstering that it’s hard to get in and out of the truck. Chrysler’s UVO infotainment system is one of the best ones on the market (no, really), easy to pair to a smartphone, and capable of deciphering unpronounceable last names. The one niggle is that the satellite navigation locks out the touchpad when you start moving — an annoyance for the co-pilot. Rear seat space and trunk space are both very good. This is a full-size SUV, and while there are bigger, more cavernous options out there, the added performance of the SRT has no drawbacks in the passenger carrying line. That is, apart from your ride-alongs getting crushed by g-forces. Performance Powered by a gargantuan 6.4-litre V-8, the SRT Cherokee is a burly bruiser in the manner of 1960s-era Mopar lead-sleds. It simply growls on startup, the driver getting a little tingle of

anticipation every time you press that lipstick-red starter button. Being a fairly squaredoff design, it’s actually not that difficult to pilot the Grand Cherokee around at city speeds. It’s got decent sightlines and large side mirrors, and if that wasn’t enough, having the road presence of an angry mastiff makes people tend to give way. It’s a bit like being Darth Vader and walking into an Imperial staff meeting — suddenly everyone remembers that they’ve got to be somewhere else, anywhere else, right now. Get this big heffalump out on the highway, and there’s a bit of fidgeting from the steering. With steamrollersized rubber equipped, the truck has the tendency to follow in the ruts left by semis and dumptrucks, and it’s a bit annoying until you get used to it. Dialling back the annoyance, my tester came equipped with radar-guided cruise control, allowing us to follow along in heavy traffic without having to spend a lot of time adjusting the throttle. Most impressively, travelling at highway speed shows some pretty decent numbers for fuel economy. With cruise control on for a run to Seattle, the Cherokee sipped fuel, rather than quaffing it, returning an average fuel consumption of See Launch page 45

Jeep very angry indeed. Then let go of the brake. With all-wheel drive to handle traction, the SRT Cherokee simply dumps all 470 horsepower on the pavement and snaps you forward as though it was attempting to achieve escape velocity. The soundtrack is that of a Saturn V moon

km in the city and 10.7 l/100 km on the highway. Normally, this is the part of the review where I roll around on the ground laughing and saying, “Oh dearie me!” while wiping tears from my eyes, but the thing is, the Jeep actually hit its ofﬁcial highway number without hypermiling techniques or any special treatment. City mileage was closer to — gulp — 20 l/100 km, but for this colossal power to do that well on longer trips deserves a round of applause. Green light Gargantuan street presence; colossal power; nicely appointed interior; easy to use technology controls. Stop sign Terrible fuel consumption in-city; eye watering price tag; fearsome appetite for brakes and tires; not exactly subtle. The checkered ﬂag Like the muscle cars of the past, a machine that exists simply to put a big, dumb grin on your face. Competitors BMW X5 xDrive50i ($75,700) Aside from the silly name, this variant of BMW’s strong-selling X5 lineup has most of the performance of the zany SRT, and delivers it in a far more genteel fashion with a liberal application of torque from its twin-turbo smaller-displacement V-8. Being a BMW, it also handles the corners quite well, and in terms of prestige, is far more likely to get parked out front by the valet. Yes, it’s far more expensive than the Jeep (especially once you start to pile the options on), but strong BMW leasing residuals close the gap quickly. The only complaint about the Bimmer? It’s a far too rational choice. mcaleeronwheels@gmail.com

with mechanical grip and then powering out of them with sheer torque. It’s amazing good fun, as long as you don’t look at the sobering stats on the average fuel consumption readout. Big brakes and massive tires make the Jeep capable of taking on a track day, but there’s more to it than that. On the street, even when you’re only tickling the throttle, the big, burly, muscle car character of the thing can’t fail to put a grin on your face. It’s a bit cartoonish, a bit of an over-muscled Marvel Superhero. The price tag, the power, the entire concept of the thing — none of this will make any sense at all, until you drive it. Features As mentioned, Chrysler’s UVO infotainment package is a stellar solution for most of the controls, and handles navigation and entertainment duties without a hitch. Bluetooth streaming audio is standard, though I suggest you leave the Vivaldi at home and only play Motörhead and AC/DC instead. An upgraded 19-speaker sound system is $995, and is outstandingly powerful. An optional $3,195 Luxury package adds in the leather-covered dashboard as well as adaptive cruise control and safety features like a blind spot system and collision prevention. Expensive, but worth it for the way it improves the interior appearance. Turning to cosmetic options, polished wheels are standard, but the slightly more subtle satin or black chrome ﬁnish will set you back $895. A dual-pane sunroof will bring a little light to the backseat for $1,595. Average fuel economy is ofﬁcially rated at 16.6 l/100

And, after a while, the trafﬁc cleared up, and away we went. After 130 years of the internal combustion, Mercedes has just reinvented the horse. An electronic coachman can’t be far behind.

If you’re stationary for more than three seconds the system kicks off, but in the slowly bunching Slinky making its way into Portland, the car happily drove itself for 10 kilometres. Quite literally, this is the least engaging driving experience I’ve had all year, and simultaneously one of the coolest.

SUPER ALL-WHEEL CONTROL Now transpose the same situation where you’re on a long-haul Greyhound bus and the driver squeezes back through the rows to answer a call of nature. How tightly do you grip your armrests until he Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gets back? Acceptance of these technologies is going to be one Available on of the biggest hurdles for the Outlander GT Outlander GT S-AWC model shown‡ self-driving car to clear. Imagine steeling yourself as a pedestrian at a crosswalk. Naturally, the Vancouverite thing to do is merely stride out without looking as if you were made of depleted uranium, but let’s pretend you at least make the effort to establish eye contact with the driver and receive some sort of indication that it’s OK to cross. How long are you going to be there if everyone’s cruising around reading the newspaper? Then there’s the legislative side of things. While Google trumpets a perfect safety record — only one crash recorded and it was when a human pilot took over the controls — and while human beings seem perfectly satisfied with the current state LANCER RVR SPORTBACK EVOLUTION of affairs where somebody’s getting mowed down every five minutes or so, just wait until the first time a self-driven car kills or injures someone. It’ll happen too, these things are machines and machines are imperfect because they’re built by humans, who are REALLY imperfect.
