Winter isn’t coming to the North Shore Mountains. It’s here. Grouse Mountain and Cypress Mountain both ﬁred up their ski lifts Wednesday and Mt. Seymour operators are hoping to have the hill open in a week. “The last couple of days had been just fantastic for snowmaking, in particular (Tuesday) night because it was so cold. It was -6 C up here and the production was really great,” said Joffrey Koeman, Cypress’s spokesman. “It allowed us top-to-bottom skiing down Upper Maelle Ricker Run to Lower Panorama.” But that is just the beginning of operations and the resort hopes to have even more of the mountain open in time for See Stay page 3

including assault with a weapon, aggravated assault, threatening death and careless storage of a ﬁrearm. Under a publication ban protecting the identities of his former wife and daughter, the man cannot be named.The couple has since divorced. According to information presented in court, the attack — described by a judge earlier this year as

“horrifying and sadistic” — started after the family attended a Chinese New Year’s party in West Vancouver. By about 10:30 p.m. that night, the man was drunk and told his wife he wanted to leave the party. Once parked inside the garage at their home, the man ordered his daughter See Man page 5

A West Vancouver businessman who held a gun to his wife’s head while telling her “Let’s die together,” will serve an additional seven months

in jail, a North Vancouver judge has decided. The 42 year-old man has already served nine months in jail since police arrested him Feb. 23 following the violent assault at the couple’s British Properties home.

After threatening to kill her, the man used the butt end of a riﬂe to hit his wife in the back of the head, knocking her to the ﬂoor semi-conscious and bleeding. Authorities were eventually summoned after the couple’s 10 year-old daughter called 9-1-1. The man was sentenced this week after pleading guilty to four charges,

During the assault, the man dragged his wife into a basement room described by Crown prosecutor Lori Ashton as “the gun room” where he kept a “signiﬁcant number of guns and ammunition.” According to information in a judge’s decision to deny the man bail earlier this year, he legally possessed 16 long guns and 12 pistols at the time of the assault.

Stay in Shelter adds cold weather beds bounds

Emergency program adds up to 20 places

urge rescuers From page 1

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

It may be chilly this week, but you don’t know cold until you’ve had to sleep in it. With the temperature dropping below freezing for the first time this winter, the Lookout Emergency Aid Society has made room for more beds in its emergency weather shelter. “We’re full every day and normally when we’re full, we turn people away. But when an extreme weather response is on, we don’t turn people away. We’ll put up to 20 mats on the floor and if that fills up, we can put 20 additional mats in North Shore Neighbourhood House,” said David Newberry, Lookout’s community liaison. Lookout has the licence and funding to expand its regular 45-bed shelter anytime the mercury hits 0 C, or if there’s snow or freezing rain, or if rain persists for more than three days. The only other option, Newberry said, is for homeless people to sleep outside in the elements, most commonly camping in the North Shore’s wooded areas.

Resource worker Nathan Chudrick prepares a bed at the Lookout Emergency Aid Society’s North Vancouver Shelter Wednesday. On freezing nights, the shelter adds up to 20 mats on the ﬂoor to take more people in. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD With the start of winter weather, Lookout staff contact all of the North Shore’s service agencies and put up posters in public places letting anyone who doesn’t have a place to go to escape the biting cold know that they are welcome inside at the shelter. “It takes a little while for the word to get out that the program has restarted. We just had two people last night but we’re expecting more tonight,” Newberry

said on Wednesday. Once at the shelter, clients can be connected with services aimed at getting them help with addiction, health or employment. Lookout also operates 25 suites of transitional housing where clients can stay for up to two years as they transition back to independent living. While the shelter gets some funding from the province as well as the North Shore’s three municipalities, staff and

clients also depend on donations from the public. “At this time of year, we’re always in need of donations of warm clothing. The main things are gloves, toques and boots, practical things like underwear and coats,” Newberry said. Beyond offering a warm bed and three healthy meals, the Lookout workers and volunteers also try to see that every client they meet has a merry Christmas as well.

“We know it’s a particularly difﬁcult time of year for people who are struggling. We try to make that a little bit brighter by providing everybody with a gift on Dec. 25. In order to do that, it all needs to be done by donation,” said Newberry. For that, donations of items that would be appreciated or useful for someone without housing can be dropped off at the shelter at 705 West Second St.

N. Shore will pay more for sewage

Treatment plant could triple N. Shore sewage bills JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

The North Shore will end up paying more to ﬂush toilets in the future following a recent vote of MetroVancouver directors. A number of other Lower Mainland politicians refused to approve sharing 70 per cent of the full costs of the new Lions Gate sewage treatment plant across the region. The cost of the project is estimated at up to $700 million. Instead, under the funding formula approved by politicians, North Shore

taxpayers alone will have to pay for the ﬁrst $75 million of the project, designated as going towards primary treatment.The rest of the cost will be split according to formula recommended by staff, with the region as a whole paying 70 per cent of the costs, while the North Shore pays the remaining 30 per cent. In a worst-case scenario, that could see sewage bills for homeowners double or even triple on the North Shore by 2030. Local government leaders describe that as an extraordinary ﬁnancial pressure facing

local taxpayers. The critical issue remains how much money both federal and provincial governments will be willing to contribute towards the project, said District of North Vancouver Mayor Richard Walton. Historically, similar large infrastructure projects have relied on Ottawa coming up with about one-third of the costs, while the provincial government has paid another third. Walton said securing that will require some dedicated lobbying on the part of the North Shore’s two MPs. “They would be happier if the numbers were smaller,” he said, but added, “The numbers are driven by federal legislation. It’s the federal government that has

said we have to do that.” The regional government has until 2020 to get a new secondary treatment plant on the North Shore up and running, in order to meet current environmental regulations.Vancouver’s Iona sewage plant must also be upgraded soon after. Darrell Mussatto, mayor of the City of North Vancouver and chairman of Metro Vancouver’s utilities committee, said he has no reason to think funding won’t be coming from senior governments. Informally, “We’ve heard from the feds and the province that they’re going to cost share,” said Mussatto. “The challenge is how much?” Both Mussatto and Walton said if funding

wasn’t available to cover the traditional two-thirds of the cost, Metro Vancouver may have to consider putting the project on hold. “It’s too big of a hit,” said Mussatto. Walton said the North Shore faces unique challenges because of the small population base paying for the treatment plant compared to other plants in areas like the Fraser Valley, where costs are spread among a population base two to four times larger. Metro politicians also recently approved a preliminary design for the North Shore’s new sewage treatment plant, which will include a “state of the art” odour containment system and generate electricity from methane gas.

weekend skiers. “All 37 of (our snow guns) are running 24 hours a day right now,” Koeman said. Grouse fans got their first tracks on the Paradise Bowl after the resort began running the Greenway Chair Wednesday afternoon. “It’s like Christmas morning. It’s the first day of winter.Winter has truly arrived when opening day comes,” said Jacqueline Blackwell, Grouse spokeswoman. “The first response from our guests has been tremendous. All the avid skiers and snowboarders are always pumped about opening day so the enthusiasm that’s around here today is infectious and it’s something we want to build on.” There is a similar air of excitement atop Cypress, Koeman said. “Opening day is a lot of fun.You see your regulars, people who ski 60 times a year, standing in line for first chair. It’s always good to see them back,” he said. Unlike Grouse and Cypress, Mt. Seymour only uses natural snow and while it has been coming down, there’s still not quite enough for skiers and snowboarders, said Seymour’s Emily Brunt. But that could soon change. “There is a weather system coming in just after this weekend.We’re hopeful that will give us enough snowfall to open shortly,” she said. “We’re very excited and we’re also very happy for Grouse and Cypress, but we’re waiting on Mother Nature.” Regardless of which mountain you choose, the start of the ski season comes with a warning: Going out of bounds isn’t just dangerous for you, it’s dangerous for the ski patrol, and North Shore Rescue volunteers who will come after you. “The ski patrols are very aggressive at monitoring people going out of the controlled areas.That will initiate a call to the police and then we’ll be called,” said Tim Jones, NSR team leader. “People should understand that immediately out of the ski area, it becomes steep avalanche terrain.”

Stranded hikers air-lifted Duo completely unprepared for conditions

North Shore Rescue members have performed what is likely their ﬁrst life-saving operation of the year in winter conditions after they plucked two Ontario hikers from a cliff ledge in the backcountry. The couple were on a day hike to Coliseum Mountain Tuesday but got turned around in the Needles area and wound up stranded on a cliff face in Lynn Headwaters. After a frantic call for help around 2 p.m.,

North Shore Rescue members load rescue equipment into a Talon helicopter Tuesday before looking for 2 stranded hikers. NSR members set out by helicopter to ﬁnd them. With their phones giving inaccurate GPS coordinates, it took searchers more than half an hour to ﬁnd them in dwindling light and longline them to safety. The couple had

meant well but they were completely unprepared for a night in the wilderness, said NSR team leader Tim Jones. “They were a very nice couple.They totally realized they were in deep, deep trouble and had they not been able to get out on

cellphone, no one knew where they were. It was not a trail they were on. It was a true alpine situation,” he said. “The girl was already in the beginning stages of hypothermia. She would not have lasted the night.” Anyone heading into backcountry trails now needs to be prepared for full winter conditions, Jones said.That means wearing appropriate boots and a winter coat and carrying an emergency bivouac sack in case of you are forced to spend the night outside. — Brent Richter

Man faces deportation after jail

From page 1

into the house, then hit his wife twice in the face. Once outside the car, he hit her again in the face, leaving her with a bleeding black eye. He then pulled her into the “gun room,” in the basement, where he picked up a long gun and put it to his wife’s head. Ashton said while the attack was going on, the couple’s daughter tried to dial 9-1-1 but misdialed, hitting 9-9-1 several times before giving up. Alarmed by what she heard, the girl ignored her

father’s warning to stay away and went downstairs where she saw her mother lying face down on the carpet. Her father then told the girl to call 9-1-1. Speaking in the man’s defence, lawyer Jeff Campbell said the man came to Canada from China, where he’d been a partner in a mining business, in 2010.The man has a previous head injury and a long history of alcohol abuse. Campbell said his client has already suffered serious consequences for the attack, including losing all contact

with his daughter and much of his ﬁnancial savings. As a permanent resident, but not a citizen of Canada, the man will also likely face deportation proceedings once he is released from jail. Judge John Milne handed the man a sentence of 18 months jail, with credit for time served. He will also be put on probation for two years, with conditions banning him from consumption of alcohol and ordering him to stay away from his daughter and former wife except as allowed through family court orders.

VIEWPOINT PUBLISHED BY NORTH SHORE NEWS A DIVISION OF LMP PUBLICATION LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, 100-126 EAST 15TH STREET, NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C. V7L 2P9. DOUG FOOT, PUBLISHER. CANADIAN PUBLICATIONS MAIL SALES PRODUCT AGREEMENT NO. 40010186.

Death of a dream F ifty years later the life and death of John F. Kennedy continue to engage historians and conspiracy theorists alike — the guesstimates on the number of books on the topic run as high as 40,000. To those aged 16 to 45 who may not empathize with the emotions at play today, we ask:Where were you on 9-11? Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas was like that — an event so incandescent that its memory remains hard-wired; adults remember exactly what they were doing the moment they heard the news while children recall the effect the news had on their parents. Why? In a single word, Kennedy stood for hope.The New Frontier he invoked in his 1960 acceptance speech, was seen as attainable by Americans — not as Obamalike rhetoric.

Kennedy’s administration attacked poverty, increasing social security beneﬁts, minimum wage, expanded unemployment beneﬁts and aid to farmers. Housing, city infrastructure and transportation were improved. Yet we remember the man not for how he constructed his vision, but for how he painted it. A generation of Americans reimagined public service because of his words, while a generation of Germans imagined the end of the Cold War before it happened, and a generation around the world turned their eyes to the skies to imagine the possibilities in space. Media created the image of the Kennedy Camelot, but such a naive view of politics would never have held if somewhere inside of us all we didn’t want to believe politicians could be knights in shining armour defending the weak. His murder began the Age of Cynicism.

I come to praise Caesar, not bury him In this world of arithmetic-challenged senators and celebrity mayoral sinners, we should be proud of three North Shore politicians of exemplary character. As this paper’s Brent Richter reported, City of North Vancouver council narrowly (4-3) passed a motion this month strongly urging future council candidates to not take contributions from developers or trade unions. Mayor Darrell Mussatto and Coun. Linda Buchanan have been pressured to recuse themselves from voting on motions affecting big developers Pinnacle and Onni. Both — Onni through its parent company RPMG Holdings — donated $5,000 to the Mussatto and Buchanan 2011 election campaigns.

Trevor Lautens

This Just In

They, and Coun. Craig Keating, newly minted president of the B.C. New Democratic Party, also received donations from the Canadian Union of Public Employees. Suspicious? Don’t be. Said Mussatto: “ . . . People think that there’s some sort of return favour implied, and that’s just not the case,” and asserted he’d voted against developers

CONTACTUS

who contributed to his cause in earlier campaigns. “I think I’ve been very principled.” Keating declared: “The implication here of course . . . is that votes at this council table are for sale by campaign donations and that, quite frankly, is incorrect.” The third councillor, Buchanan, sat silent — maybe because the dastardly insinuation was unworthy of response? All three voted against the motion, moved by Coun. Guy Heywood. Well, let me heap praise on these nobly principled politicians. Because, you see, I’m a sinner. And I know it. My heart is wicked. I have never been offered a bribe. But I am certain I can be bought. It just hasn’t been offered. Clearly nobody

thinks I have anything worth buying. So I haven’t been tested. I have no doubt, though, that if the price were right, I could be corrupted. If, say, the Bank of Horsefly gave me a $5,000 grant to write a series on reasons for the 2008-10 recession, I might avoid implicating the Bank of Horsefly. Friends? I’d favour ’em. If I had the power. Give them the best seats in the house. Enemies? I’d punish ’em. The three North Van city councillors are about such human frailty. Weakness of character, weakness of the flesh. I once interviewed a thennationally prominent New Democrat. She sat down and showed a bit of leg. Inadvertently, I’m sure. I pulled my punches and wrote a much kinder story than if she had been,

say, Ed Broadbent. (PS: Actually I liked Broadbent, not least because years after we met he remembered a huge woolly suit of mine that moved as if it had a life of its own.) But I digress. The good, those with pure lives and wholesome thoughts, readily accept that sizeable campaign contributions don’t inﬂuence our elected representatives. They would accept that Keating and Mussatto, principled by their own admission (and are they not honourable men?), and the silent Coun. Buchanan, unhesitatingly erected a virtuous wall between the money donated and their votes at council vitally affecting the donors’ bigdollar interests. I couldn’t. That is why I hold in highest esteem those who can — who can’t

be bought or influenced. Nor, beyond doubt, were the donations tainted by the donors’ hope of preferment. They must have been objectively given to candidates deemed to be worthy councillors. No benefit expected. No winks exchanged. We are indeed fortunate to have such principled representatives on our North Shore: Neighbours, long serving the community, well known, respected. Because we know that in some distant places any politicians who denied that large campaign contributions influence them — well, I’d guess they were uttering some of the most gol-darned, bulldroppings, fork-tongued stretchers that ever came out of the mouths See more page 9

Political left no longer a labour movement The passing last week of a former B.C. labour leader was a reminder of how much both the labour movement and the socalled “political left” have changed in this province. Jack Munro was a colourful and powerful leader of the most powerful union in this province. He led the IWA (the primary forestry workers union) for decades and was one of the most influential labour or political figures in the entire province. Governments of all stripes (NDP and Social Credit) were wary of taking him on. A prolonged strike in the forest industry could cripple the provincial economy, and Munro was mindful of the power he wielded. His influence was wide within the B.C. Federation

View from the Ledge

of Labour, and he was often seen as the face of unionized labour, competing over time with other notables such as Len Guy, Art Gruntman, Jim Kinnaird, Art Kube and Ken Georgetti, to name just a few. In those days (the 1970s to the mid-1990s) organized labour wielded a major sword. At ﬁrst, that sword

was held by private sector unions, but over time public sector unions wrenched it away to become the main power bloc in the labour movement. That is one of the crucial differences that have evolved in the House of Labour.The days of private sector union domination are over, and therefore so are the days of a private sector union leader like Munro having huge inﬂuence, either on labour or government. For years, private sector strikes, some of them quite lengthy, were regular events in all kinds of industries. Now, public sector strikes (or the threat of them) are the main characteristic of any labour strife in this province. Another change from Munro’s heyday is the collapse of the forest

industry.The IWA is gone, and so are many mills that provided many communities with thriving local economies.The forest industry, and its unionized workforce, no longer has the political clout it had when Munro was one of industry’s main players. Then there is the political left in B.C. For years, during Munro’s time, the left was dominated by private sector union leaders but gradually, over time, their inﬂuence was matched and then exceeded by social activists, environmental activists, and public sector union leaders. Several key episodes in the

last 20 years or so show this shift. During the 1983 Solidarity crisis (brought on by the Social Credit government’s punishing restraint budget of that year) it was Munro who essentially ended an escalating protest that was headed to a province wide general strike. Munro had no interest in taking private sector union workers off their jobs to appease social activists itching to topple an elected government, and he made that very clear. As a result, he was viliﬁed by many of those activists, who viewed his actions as a form of betrayal.

A decade or so later, a left-wing government was in power but the environmental movement caused the NDP administration to back down on its forest policies, constituting a landmark win for the greens in the party. During Gordon Campbell’s term in power, most of his opposition came from public sector unions, many of whose contracts he was trying to tear up or change.The private sector remained relatively quiet, and the environmental movement seemed to be biding its time.

Meters hurting entertainment at Evergreen House Dear Editor: I wish to add my voice to the protests about the parking meters around Evergreen House and Lions Gate Hospital. I have a group of entertainers called the Londoners and we have been performing at Evergreen House for eight years. Parking has always been a problem, and I have to pay for close parking because I bring a car full

of equipment to our gigs including ﬁve music stands, an ampliﬁer, bags of music, song books, microphones and funny hats. My singers have often complained of having to park blocks away, but now they will also be expected to pay for parking in the area. I am reluctant to do any more gigs at Evergreen House because I don’t expect my singers, who are all seniors,

to have to pay for parking as well as walk many blocks. Many homes where we sing have their own parking area, and no one expects us to pay for parking. Please remove these parking meters so that the seniors in Evergreen House can continue to have visits from friends and entertainers. Marny Peirson West Vancouver

Lamenting suburban affordability Dear Editor: Your Nov. 17 editorial, Green Acres, suggests the rationale of the provincial government is that “while the ALC (Agricultural Land Commission) is a good idea, maybe the market has something more lucrative in mind in the short term, say, a gas ﬁeld or another sprawling suburb.” I, and most of your readers live in sprawling suburbs called North Vancouver and West Vancouver. Many would

argue that these suburbs could be deﬁned as “sprawling” due to the low density resulting from the high proportion of large lots and single-family dwellings. These suburbs have been around for more than one hundred years, which, in my opinion, is not short term. If it is the opinion of the North Shore News that demand for dwelling units should go unheeded on land that may have some agricultural use, that’s ﬁne. But, if so, please, if and when

••• Ran into Russ Fraser the other day. Fraser was a Social Credit attorneygeneral and latterly the most effective member of the West Vancouver Police Commission, whose contract wasn’t renewed by then-new commission chairwoman Mayor Pamela Goldsmith-Jones — a closet Liberal who early on insisted her party sympathies were a private matter. Fraser and I discussed

the scandal of Agriculture Minister Pat Pimm’s repeated leaning on the Agricultural Land Commission to cut 70 acres of constituent Terry McLeod’s land for a rodeotype operation — which McLeod is building anyway in deﬁance of the ALC (he scorned its members as “meatballs,”Vaughn Palmer reported). I asked Fraser:When should Premier Christie Clark drop Pimm into the deepest political black hole, when should she make absolutely clear the power and independence of the ALC?

Munro would not approve From page 7 Then, of course, there was the NDP’s sudden reversal on the Kinder Morgan pipeline project in the last election campaign. It was done to appease the environmental movement, but the move has revealed a breach in the party’s relationship with so-called blue-collar workers, the ones championed for so long by the likes of Munro. The NDP, the party of the left, is now almost shut out of the IWA’s old turf, as mills have closed and workers have disappeared. Its support is more concentrated in urban centres, and away from many of those blue-collar workers in resource industries. One has to wonder what Jack Munro would make of this ongoing shift in the party and movement he was once so active in. I can’t see him liking where things seem to be headed.

Man robbed in Kirkstone

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

North Vancouver RCMP are hunting for two suspects after a man was mugged at knife-point in Lynn Valley during the early hours of Saturday. The 24-year-old man was walking through Kirkstone Park around 2 a.m. when two unknown suspects accosted him and forced him the ground, according to police. The attackers held a

knife to the victim’s throat while they robbed him of his wallet, cellphone and passport. Police describe the two suspects as being about 20 years old, with tan or olive complexion. The ﬁrst suspect stood about ﬁve feet eight inches (172 centimetres) tall and weighed roughly 160 pounds. He was wearing a white zip-up hoodie with a diamond pattern on the hood, blue jeans and black running shoes. Police say

he had facial stubble. The second suspect was about ﬁve feet ﬁve inches (165 cm) and 140 pounds. He had long, dark scruffy hair and was wearing a white hoodie (possibly Adidas), blue jeans and black running shoes. Anyone with information about the mugging is asked to contact North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-3511 or remain anonymous and call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

Military to train in Indian Arm Indian Arm’s residents should not be alarmed if they hear gunﬁre and see uniformed soldiers and military zodiacs zipping across the water this weekend, Reserve soldiers from the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada and other 39 Canadian Brigade Group units, along with sailors from HMCS Discovery will be training north of Croker Island from Nov.

22 to 24. The exercise is designed to give reservists experience of training in a remote and challenging environment while practising the core skills needed to respond to a domestic or expeditionary operation, a press release from the Highlanders states. “The soldiers will be using blank ammunition as part of their training, and

the public should feel free to approach the soldiers with questions or concerns at any time during the exercise. Every effort will be made to minimize disturbance to the local land users,” the release states. Questions about the exercise can directed to the Highlanders’ command at 604-3156515. — Brent Richter

BRADAMANTE

Bradamante is the sister of Rinaldo, and one of the heroines in Orlando Innamorato by Matteo Maria Boiardo and Orlando Furioso by Ludovico Ariosto in their handling of the Charlemagne legends. Bradamante is depicted as one of the greatest female knights in literature. —Wikipedia More online at nsnews.com/ entertainment twitter.com/NSNPulse

Elinor Frey, one-half of cello duo Bradamante, named after a legendary female knight, laughs when she’s asked about the line in her group’s bio: “The bows are our swords.” “It’s just kind of cute. It’s not aggressive but it’s nice to think of just getting out there and ﬁghting the world with beautiful music. It’s a lot of fun and I hope that comes across with the group that

it’s really for entertainment and enjoyment.” She and partner Shirley Hunt’s project name, which translates to “wild lover,” is taken from the Italian epic poem Orlando Furioso, by Ariosto, dating back to 1516. “Every culture has their epic story and this is an important one in Italy,” says Frey, a Seattle,Wash. native, who’s currently based in Montreal, Que. The poetic tale tells the story of Christian knights at the time of Charlemagne ﬁghting the Saracens, whose army was attempting to invade Europe. “One of the top three characters is named Bradamante, who is a female knight, and she falls in love with this Saracen knight named Ruggiero,” explains Frey.

A further reason the duo chose the strong female character as its namesake was Bradamante’s connection to the cello. Orlando Furioso was written under the patronage of the d’Este family, her descendants. “That was the ﬁrst family that was a very important patron of the cello when the cello ﬁrst emerged. So there’s some strong connections in history, literature, arts and patronage, and Italy, all come together,” says Frey. During performances, she and Hunt read excerpts from the story of Bradamante’s life, interspersed with Italian cello sonatas, heightening the story with their music. Frey and Hunt, who’s based in Boston, will present their program, featuring

“I recommend Vitamin C and Lysine for Heart Health” W. Gifford-Jones, MD

Fourteen years ago following my own coronary attack I decided to follow the research of Dr. Linus Pauling, Professor Williams Stehbens and Dr. Sydney Bush and take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine. I am turning 90 soon and I am glad I did! Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Nobel Prize winner, claimed it takes a mere 10 milligrams of vitamin C to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Dr. William Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Auckland University in New Zealand emphasized that coronary arteries are under more pressure than any other arteries in the body. They’re under constant pressure while the heart beats 100,000 times every 24 hours, or 37 million times a year, and 2.2 billion times if you live to 70 years of age. Without sufﬁcient vitamin C and lysine this constant pounding causes minute cracks in collagen, resulting in blood clots and possible death, or a weakened artery can break, causing a stroke. Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C and lysine can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later new pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries.

THEATRE

Arts Club Poppins not just for kids Sara-Jeanne Hosie introduces super nanny to next generation ■ Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins, playing until Jan. 5 at the Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage, 2750 Granville St., Vancouver.Tickets: $29$70, available at artsclub. com or by calling 604687-1644. CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

A word of warning for those attending the Arts ClubTheatre production of Mary Poppins this holiday season: don’t expect a reincarnation of the magical nanny Julie Andrews made famous in the 1964 Disney movie. This Poppins is a hybrid. The titular character in the Broadway musical was inspired by both the rosycheeked, crowd-pleasing Disney creation and the harsher, more disciplinary literary character from the original children’s book series written by P.L.Travers in the 1930s. Sara-Jeanne Hosie, a veteran of the Arts Club stage, is tasked with balancing these two personas.When director

Bill Millerd ﬁrst cast her in the lead role, she promptly re-watched the Disney movie and read the book series — both of which centre on an English nanny who sweeps into a household on Cherry Tree Lane to take charge of the unruly Banks children. “Mary on the page, when you read it, she can seem quite cold,” Hosie explains. Her challenge was to look beyond the literary character’s fearsome veneer and develop her own rendition of the moral and mysterious Mary Poppins. “You know how much she loves the children and you know that she’s there for them, but her way of loving them is through discipline and through showing them that they can ﬁnd strength in their imagination,” she says. “And they want discipline, you know, children rebel because they aren’t being given the attention and the discipline that they want and I think that’s what Mary understands.” The musical production fuses story elements from the books and the movie and audiences can expect to hear some familiar Disney songs,

such as “Spoonful of Sugar,” “Chim Chim Cher-ee” and “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” as well as a few new numbers. Though the popularity of the 1964 film had interested Broadway producers for years, their offers were all rejected by Travers, who was not a fan of Disney’s adaptation. It was not until the early ‘90s that English theatre producer Cameron Mackintosh persuaded Travers to allow Julian Fellowes (creator of the period drama Downton Abbey) to revisit her original novels, as well as the movie, and write a new book for the stage.The musical premiered in London in 2004. One of the biggest challenges in staging Mary Poppins is finding creative ways to present the magical aspects of the story in front of a live audience. “It is a massively technical show,” explains Hosie, who spends much of the production strapped into a harness. It took a bit of practise to maintain her prim composure and rigid posture while flying over set designer Alison Green’s London rooftops, but it’s something she now looks forward to. “Every night, just holding that umbrella and that bag and soaring up into the air, See Poppins page 26

scripted variety show featuring holiday songs from the 1940s through the 1960s. “They always wanted to focus around the music of that era. . . . Because that’s when radio was live,” says Mary EllaYoung, the show’s director and a member of The Hot Mammas “It’s an idea that stems from the days when you could go in and be part of a radio show,” Robinson agrees. “I was around for those days, you could go into a radio station, they’d have a theatre holding maybe 100, 120 people, and put on a radio show.” For Robinson the show is both a whimsical trip into the joys of yesteryear as well as a rebuke to the foes of holly. “I don’t think you can even mention the word ‘Christmas’ in school now but it was all part of our heritage the way we grew up,” he says. “Christmas is something we should protect. They say, ‘Oh, it may offend the people coming in.’Well then ask yourself: ‘Why the hell are they coming here?’ I mean, c’mon, that’s part of our tradition. Otherwise you’re saying Canada had no tradition, which is crap.” When asked about his own memories of Christmas, Robinson invokes a line from the holiday classic, A Christmas Story: “You’re gonna put your eye out, kid,” he chortles. “That’s the era

that I grew up in.” Robinson recalls pressing his nose to the glass of a Vancouver department store and dreaming about wielding his own Red Ryder BB gun. “I still have mine, by the way,” he adds. Christmas on the Air is an attempt to recapture the mood of that period. “It’s fun, it’s light, it’s entertaining, it makes you feel good,”Young says. The Arkansas native who now makes her home on the North Shore was reluctant to take a seat in the director’s chair. “Never directed. Never really thought I would direct, but they had a conﬁdence in me I probably didn’t have in myself,” she says. Following “a lot of nudging” from Carole Robinson, the show’s producer and Red’s wife, Young accepted. However, it turned out the cast didn’t need many pointers. “They really know what they’re doing so they don’t need a lot of direction,” she says. Much of the show’s ad-libbing takes place in the interplay between Robinson and the CBC’s Rick Cluff. “As we’ve done more shows they’ve become closer and so they take more liberties with one another and it gets more and more fun,” she says. “They tease

so much, the combination of instrumental colours and just working together, so we decided to form a group and put on a full concert.” They entered the Early Music America Baroque Performance Competition in NewYork in October 2012, and came out on top as grand prize winners. “That really encouraged us and helped us get going pretty intensely,” says Frey. She and her collaborators in both ensembles share a passion for sourcing out material that’s not widely known, requiring extensive reading, research and trial. “We’re committed to doing both, known and lesser known as long as it’s great,” she says. “We have to really believe that the audience is going to connect to it before we put it on the program,” she adds. They also share a passion for early music, feeling it leaves a lot of space for the performer’s involvement. “There’s a lot of choices that the performer makes that really make a difference in the music and that’s exciting,” says Frey. “A lot of the articulations, dynamics and expression is really left to the performer to ﬁgure out and add. Also, it’s really amazing how it sounds when you use an instrument that’s the same construction as was used when the music was written.When you have the right tools and equipment it changes everything of how the music sounds and what you can do with it. It’s beautiful, a lot of colours and interesting things that you don’t get if you use the modern version of the instrument.That was just really appealing, I think, to all of us. And also, it’s really fun to learn about history and to bring what you learn into the interpretation.” Pallade Musica has just recorded its debut album, featuring 17th century Venetian music composed by Dario Castello, Giovanni Legrenzi and Tarquinio Merula, in September and Frey anticipates its release on the ATMA label in April 2014. In addition, she’s celebrating the release of her new solo album, released this summer in Europe and this fall in North America, entitled LaVoce delVioloncello: SoloWorks by the First Italian Cellist-Composers.

each other, they joke around, jabs here and there and they’re not as polite as they were the first go-round.” Robinson agrees. “Rick Cluff and myself just really enjoy it because we’re the narrators. And why do we love it? Because if it was a play . . . we’d have to memorize all the lines and go to rehearsals. Not this way. You’ve got the script in front of you and you cup your hand over your hear and go into it.” WhileYoung oversees technical details ranging from lighting to microphone placement, she defines herself primarily as a performer. “I, first and foremost, am a Hot Mamma. I mean the group,” she adds hastily. Featuring Julie Brown and Georgina Arntzen, the trio deals in tight harmonies and short, peppy tunes like “Mr. Sandman” and “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.” “I did not come up with the name,”Young stipulates, smiling as she tells the story.

The moniker grew from an argument about whether an audience would go to see three old ladies. “We’re not old ladies. We’re hot mammas!” Julie Brown allegedly replied. “They call themselves The Hot Mammas — that’s because they’re having ﬂashes, but that’s OK,” Robinson says, laughing. Featuring swing dancers, vintage footage of Robinson introducingThe Beatles and Elvis Presley, and songs like “Run Rudolph Run,” “’Zat You, Santa Claus?” and “The Man with the Bag,” Christmas on the Air is a genuine variety show. “It gave you that variety feeling that you don’t get on television anymore.There’s hardly any variety shows. I know why, because they’re expensive,” Robinson says. The storied DJ speaks in glowing tones about the variety shows personiﬁed by AndyWilliams, Perry Como, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. “You’ll leave going: ‘Why don’t we do this anymore?’”

Poppins character demanding on stage From page 18 how could you not enjoy that at work? It’s awesome.” Combine flying with singing, choreography and pronouncing supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and Hosie says this role has her stretched in all directions. “It’s vocally demanding, it’s physically demanding, it’s demanding from a dance perspective and it’s demanding from a risktaking perspective.” Not just for kids, Hosie says this Arts Club production will appeal to those aged five to 95. “The spectacle and the magic, the Disney aspect of it, is really geared towards children, and the heart of the piece and the lessons are really there for the grownups.” The story extols family values, she says, as overworked father George Banks learns to put his wife and children first. And though it may not be traditional holiday theatre fare, Hosie says Mary Poppins will leave audiences with warm, fuzzy feelings fitting for the season. “I think it’s a great Christmas show because whenever I finish a show I want to call a member of my family and tell them I love them or that I appreciate them.” Thrilled to have landed the part of Mary Poppins, Hosie is also excited to introduce the venerable nanny to the next generation. At a matinee performance during opening week, the actress spotted two young girls in the crowd — both dressed up in matching blue skirts, blue blouses and Poppins-style hats — and realized just how endearing her character is. “I love children, I have nieces and nephews that I’ve dedicated this show to, and just knowing that I may be their first introduction to a character who affected me so much as a little girl, that’s a real gift to get to be that person and to bring that to life for them.”

BOOKS

Tracking the art of Brit rock

■ The Art of British Rock by Mike Evans, Frances Lincoln Publishers, 212 pages, $32. Fifty years of British rock art are celebrated in this colourful collection. Mike Evans presents a look at how concert posters, album covers and posters evolved into a unique art form. Early rock ’n’ roll shows were promoted in the same manner as any other events of the day with blocky type and bright colours to catch your eye. As the ’60s went along and the impact of pop culture grew the art began to have a bigger role in how the bands were presented. The medium now reflected the message and art was now an important factor in the design. Album covers became a vehicle to display art that made a statement about the musicians and a number of the prominent artists are identified. Roger Dean who created the otherworldly images for theYes albums and Storm Thorgerson who formed Hipgnosis that produced one of the most recognizable album covers ever for Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon are just two of the noteworthy designers. The punk era burst onto the music scene full of raw energy and the artwork was wildly varied but defiantly presenting with a do it yourself style that rejected a more polished approach. Evans follows through to hip hop and techno then onto a selection artwork from recent festivals that show the current work being done. — Terry Peters

Operation Christmas Child Grade 12 Argyle secondary student Emma Lee (left) and Katarina Cookson display some of the more than 20 shoeboxes they have ﬁlled with gifts for Operation Christmas Child. The items for the boxes were collected with friends and members of Argyle school’s S.T.A.N.D. club. The shoeboxes are distributed to kids around the world by the Christian organization Samaritan’s Purse.

anta will soon start popping up in local malls and the tradition of sitting on St. Nick’s lap will begin for another holiday season. For older kids who are eager to report what they want for Christmas, visiting Santa can be a fun experience. For younger kids who usually don’t understand what’s going on most of the time anyway, and especially in a crowded mall sitting with a stranger and surrounded by elves, it can be a little intimidating. Each child will react to the experience in their own unique way based on their personality, and while “Santa fail” photos can be amusing the following tips may help parents secure a less hilarious photo. 1 Be realistic about your child’s ability to wait in line. Some lineups for Santa photos can be long, especially during peak times, such as on weekends. If you can, ask one of Santa’s helpers when the lines might not be as long and try to get the photo taken then. Consider asking an older family member or friend to wait in line for you and your child if the wait is particularly long. You can then join in when the lineup gets closer to Santa. 2 Bring plenty of snacks and even a toy or two to keep your child busy if the line is long. Take naps into consideration when scheduling your trip and make sure your kids get plenty of sleep the night before. Hungry or tired kids get cranky very quickly and won’t be well behaved during their visit. The same rules apply to parents. 3 Clear your calendar for the morning or afternoon you plan to take the photo so you can relax and enjoy the experience with your child. Being anxious about having to get somewhere else or do something else will

only add to the stress of the situation. Visiting Santa can be a wonderful outing for the whole family. Don’t rush it. Since kids are somewhat unpredictable, you can’t control how fast the lineup will move, so just relax and enjoy the show. 4 If you have multiple children, consider getting their photo taken together. Sitting with siblings may help younger children deal with the uncertainty of the experience. 5 Although dressing for the occasion may call for some fancier attire, consider your child’s comfort first. Forcing children into uncomfortable clothes will only make them miserable. 6 Having something to give Santa, such as a letter or a drawing, may help break the ice during the initial meeting and make the child more comfortable sitting on Santa’s lap. 7 Consider whether or not your child is ready to sit on Santa’s lap. Take them by the mall just to have a look at the set-up, and let them watch other kids get their photos taken. Gauge your child’s reaction and ask them if they also want to get a photo with Santa. Depending on how they react, you may decide you want to wait another year. 8 If you are desperate to get a photo despite your child’s hesitation, it might be time for the parent-and-tot photo. This will require you to sit on Santa’s lap with your child and may be a bit uncomfortable for both you and Santa. But it may help you secure a holiday memory that you and your child can cherish for years to come, or laugh at for years to come. SANTA’S COMING . . .

Stay safe this season

he B.C. Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund urges everyone to consider the following holiday safety tips. HOLIDAY LIGHTS

Inspect all holiday lights for excessive wear, frayed wires and broken or cracked sockets before putting them up. Only use lighting with an approved testing laboratory sticker. Do not overload electrical outlets or link more than three light strands together. Turn lights off before going to bed or leaving home.

CHRISTMAS TREES

Caring Tree Fundraiser Lions Gate Hospital Foundation’s Judy Savage (left) helps hang tree ornaments with David Jung and Sarah Bains for Park Royal’s Christmas Caring Tree. Guests can purchase a paper ornament for $5 or $10 at Guest Services in either the north or south mall, write a wish on the ornament and hang it on the Christmas Caring Tree in Park Royal South. Proceeds will go to the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation. Everyone who purchases an ornament will be entered to win one of four $125 Park Royal gift cards. A tree is also located in the hospital lobby with ornaments for sale at the foundation ofﬁce.

Choose a fresh tree that is not shedding needles. It should have a strong green colour and a noticeable fragrance. Cut about three centimetres off the butt end to open up the tree stem and allow water intake. Place the tree in a stand that will hold two to three litres of water and top it off daily. If water drops below the end of the trunk, the stem may reseal itself, requiring a fresh cut. Keep trees away from all sources of heat to prevent the

tree from drying out. This includes fireplaces, radiators, furnace ducts, televisions sets, and windows with direct exposure to the sun. A dry tree can easily ignite from heat, flame or sparks. The best protection for a tree is moisture so it is important that it receives a continuous supply of water. Discard your tree promptly when it becomes dry. The best way to dispose of your tree is at a recycling or community treechipping centre. Do not leave a dry tree outside. It is a fire hazard. CANDLE SAFETY

Keep candles out of reach of children and pets, and away from any combustible materials. Put candles in stable holders and place them where they cannot be easily knocked down. Never use lighted candles on or near a Christmas tree. Never go to bed or leave the house when candles are burning. The 16th annual Bright Nights in Stanley Park features millions of lights, entertainment and animated displays Dec. 5Jan. 5. It is a fundraiser for the B.C. Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund.

Dear Canyon Heights: Your shoes and handbag can match each other, but they don’t have to. Either your shoes or your handbag should match your outfit. The handbag commands attention this season. No matter what style you choose, the handbag is carried as a clutch, even if it has a handle and straps.The exception is the large tote. The two trendiest bags are the crush bag and the structured bag. Both bags look expensive (but do not have to be). It is a designer look.There are elaborate metal clasps in either gold or silver.The leather can be suede, embossed, soft, as well as, shiny hard leather. The most popular colours are cognac, dark green, deep red, cobalt blue and aubergine.These bags can also have a funky pattern giving it an avant-garde look. The crush bag is worn scrunched or flattened under the arm. It is small to medium sized.The structured bag can stand upright, like a box. Handles add a trendy element, as they have links of chain, a constructed look of a buckled belt or a faux ebony, ivory or bamboo texture. Boots are definitely more popular than shoes this season. Leathers include suede, embossed, soft and hard.The type of leather allows you to match your boot to your handbag. Boot

A bright bag makes a statement. ILLUSTRATION NORISA ANDERSON lengths range from above the ankle to over the knee. All heels are trendy, from ﬂat to high, including the wedge. The most popular style is the ankle boot, which can be worn with skirts and pants. Booties have the look of a shoe, and can be trendy, dressy or casual, with buckles, zippers or lace-ups.

Onelight tapping into the beat of life Indie electronica duo unveil debut album at Media Club ■ Onelight album release party at the Media Club, Saturday, Nov. 23, 8 p.m.Tickets $10. For more information visit themediaclub.ca. NICHOLAS M. PESCOD ContributingWriter

On a rainy night in Vancouver singer/ songwriter Amy Usher and drummer/producer Hamish Thomson met up to discuss music. “We really didn’t know each other very well,” Usher says. “We spent one night in the studio talking about what it is to live a musical life without actually playing anything together.” Instantly a connection was made and the two joined forces to form indie electronica duo, Onelight. “He texted me the next morning and said are you into this? And I said I was,” she says. “The next

morning it was on.” Tomorrow night Onelight will be throwing their album release party at the Media Club inVancouver. “We are really excited because it has been a long time to get the record recorded,” Thomson says. “We’ve done a lot of tours trying to improve on our live show.” “This time we have a great roster of musicians coming in,” Usher says. “It’s going to be a special night for us.” Three days later, Onelight will ofﬁcially release their independent eponymous debut.The duo explains that the 12-track album is beat driven with lots of harmonies. “It is sort of a mix of my inﬂuences from a singer/ songwriter perspective and Hamish’s electronic sound. So it’s a unique sound See Onelight page 39

Onelight toured throughout India From page 37 created from those two things meeting,” Usher says about their upcoming album. “It’s a real mix of electronic music and acoustic instruments,”Thomson, a former Capilano University student, adds. “There are lots of layers.” Usher says they made the album out of love and didn’t have any expectations with it. “The record has really taken shape to part of our own life journey,” Usher says. “It really speaks to the soul of journey and to have that sense of unbridled optimism and opportunity that you get.” Usher andThomson, who both reside on the North Shore, come from musical backgrounds.Thompson, who went under the stage nameThe Hermit, was signed to Nettwerk Records and released three albums. The Powell River, B.C., native says that he decided to leaveThe Hermit after he felt like he was losing focus. “I kind of got to the point where I felt like I was losing focus of what it was I was doing,”Thomson says. “I was making ambient sounding music and then when we would go and play in different places they would want to hear more upbeat music and we started rocking out a bit more.” “I feel like I’ve come back to the beginning in a sense,” he says. Usher, originally from Toronto, has spent the majority of her life travelling the world creating music. For the duo the name Onelight represents the idea that humans are all related in one way or another. The songs on this album really speak to that,” Usher says. “It also speaks to that idea of people who are able to have one foot on the street and remain grounded and

then have one foot up in the milky way.” Onelight have previously performed inVancouver, NewYork State and toured throughout India.The North Vancouver duo says India is a great example of the meaning behind their name. “It seemed to me like everyone was honking and not paying attention to the road signs but at the same time it worked. It was like this organic beauty,” Thomson says about India. “It is this total beat of life there but then everybody is super connected.There are temples at every corner and a real sense of connection to a higher spirit and our higher self,” Usher adds. Thomson says that the clubs in the major cities, such as New Delhi, are similar to bars and clubs in North America. “It could have been anywhere,”Thomson says. “You get your meal, your ticket and there is a sound check. Everything is totally the same in that sense.” While in India, Onelight performed at the Rajasthan Desert Festival in theThar Desert, near the border of Pakistan. “It was totally enlightening and totally exhausting at the same time,” Usher says. “Just getting there was tough.You know how you get stuck in snow drifts in Canada?We got stuck in sand drifts just trying to get to the venue.” “We had camels hauling our gear around. It was amazing,”Thomson adds. Onelight were the only band from North America performing at the festival. The duo played two sets out in the desert, which included a set in the blazing afternoon heat. “It was basically high noon. It was absolutely brutal.”Thomson says. “People had to ﬁnd shade just to watch,” Usher says.

FILM

Things get dark in Catching Fire ■ The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Directed by Francis Lawrence. Starring Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson. Rating: 8 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD ContributingWriter

Katniss Everdeen is back safe from the 74th Hunger Games, though she isn’t quite sound: she’s clearly suffering from PTSD from the first games, is more than a little jittery, and has recurring night terrors. “I did what I had to do to survive,” she rationalizes, not believing herself. The annual games culls a teenaged boy and girl from each of Panem’s dozen districts and places them in a televised fightto-the-death gladiatorial survival match, as a reminder that all citizens are at the whim of the nation’s capitol. Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) managed to escape the games intact with Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), an acquaintance from childhood. Her family lives in relative luxury in the victors’ village, alongside Peeta and Haymitch (Woody Harrelson), her occasionally sober mentor. Katniss is torn between her feelings for childhood friend Gale (Liam Hemsworth) and the intense experiences she had with Peeta. But President Snow (Donald Sutherland) is none too pleased. Her and Peeta’s little stunt with the berries in the first film was seen as an act of love by some citizens, but as a call to rebellion by others.There are rumblings about uprisings. Snow makes it clear that the fates of Katniss and her family hinge on her ability to keep the peace. A victors’ tour does little to ease tensions. And so with the help of a new gamemaker (Philip Seymour Hoffman) Snow devises a special version of the “quarter quell” games, with tributes chosen among

It’s a trap designed to silence Katniss, and the mockingjay symbol of rebellion, once and for all. Second films in a trilogy are too often “fillers” that kill time between our initial curiosity and our need for resolution. Director Francis Lawrence (no relation) nicely balances stunts and spectacle with the growth of Katniss, who goes from teenaged girl to young woman with a wider worldview. This time Katniss isn’t just fighting for her own life, but the lives of her family and everyone in her district. Lawrence, once again the heart of the film, is perfect whether she’s playing it strong, despondent, conflicted or kick-ass. Supporting performances are improved from the first film.The boys were a little milquetoast the first time around: here Gale is a little more potent and Peeta a little less annoying. Effie’s (Elizabeth Banks) outrageous outfits are a highlight, and Stanley Tucci’s See Katniss page 46

Trapped in a life he didn’t choose, Marco Silvestri (Vincent Landon) tries to make things better in

French ﬁlmmaker Claire Denis’ new ﬁlm noir Les salauds (Bastards). Like a modern-day Charle Bronson in Paris, Marco aims to set things straight but has come rather late to the game. Landon is surrounded by an excellent cast (including Chiara

Mastroianni, Julie Bataille and Lola Creton) who hinder or help his efforts to understand a corrupt world. Denis, a consummate stylist, based her modern tale on the sense of doom she found inWilliam Faulkner’s Sanctuary. — John Goodman

teeth have never been whiter as over-bronzed TV host Caesar Flickerman. For the first hour the film is less about action than it is about show, the excesses of the Capitol; but soon enough we’re transported into the high-tech games arena. Things get dark in Catching Fire (in case children fighting each other to the death in the original wasn’t dark enough for you): there are executions and public floggings, and discussions about entire

populations being wiped out. Katniss is still famed for her archery skills, as she goes up against rabid monkeys, poison gas and blood rain, and seasoned competitors. Lawrence’s changing expression in the final frame shows Katniss’ readiness for battle of a new kind, and starts the clock for fans anxiously awaiting the third film. If you’re new to the franchise do yourself a favour and read Suzanne Collins’ trilogy or brush up on the first film; otherwise you’ll be lost in the wilderness, too.

Subaru stays on track with new WRX BRENDAN MCALEER ContributingWriter

A biweekly roundup of automotive news, good, bad and just plain weird:

The Volkswagen Golf GTI is getting a little outdated in some areas — its due for a redesign in 2015 — but it’s still the fun-todrive champ of the hot hatchback segment. It is available in North Vancouver at Capilano Volkswagen. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD

2013Volkswagen Golf GTI

GTI offers sneaky fun

Scan this page with the Layar app to see more photos of the Volkswagen GTI

For the 2014 model year, Volkswagen is cancelling their perennial hot hatchback, the GTI. Don’t worry though, they’ll happily sell you a year-old one instead. Actually, there’s a rare bit of honesty going on here. The next-generation Golf is already on sale in Europe, and we know it’ll be coming here in the next year as an all-new 2015 model. The one we get won’t be exactly the same as the European model — likely, there’ll be a slightly softer suspension to deal with North America’s less-than-perfect roads

— but it’s en route, and it’s slightly improved in almost every single way. In the U.S., you can still walk up to your local VeeDub dealership and plonk

down the cash for a 2014 GTI. In Canada,VW’s local management has decided to just order a bigger batch of 2013s and sell down from inventory until the new car arrives. There aren’t any changes for the 2014s the U.S. is selling, so why not simply just tell people what they’re getting? It’s a strategy that seems to be working, and at the same time looks like it might backﬁre, as VW’s GTI inventories might not stretch until the new car arrives. Why can’t people wait? Just how good is this thing? Design

Now in its sixth generation, the GTI could give the Porsche 911 a run for its money in terms of least-changed styling since new. Both cars have been on sale for decades, but park either one next to their ﬁrst-generation ancestors, and (while the modern equivalents are comparatively huge) the DNA is still there. Still just a shoebox with a pointy end, the GTI’s hatchback shape has changed only slightly since the previous generation, and the new model that

New WRX leaks out If you’ve been wondering, as I have, how much the new WRX is going to deviate from the current Impreza, then wonder no longer. Just ahead of its scheduled reveal at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the images are hitting the interweb, and the changes are stupefying. What Subaru’s done this time is so revolutionary, so gamechanging, such a complete about-face, it’s going to blow your mind. See, what they’ve gone and done — wait for it — is put a hood-scoop on a sedan. *crickets* OK, so this is pretty much what the WRX always was, but permit me at least to breathe a sigh of relief. As a family man with the irrational need to get from point-to-point as quickly as possible, the thought that the WRX might get all weird and impractical was a sad one. When my old bucket kicks the, er, bucket, I’m just going to stuff

will replace it runs the ball forward only a few yards or so. Compared to competing compacts, the Golf platform on which the GTI is built is very conservative, and devoid of swooping style lines. Building on this staid shape, the GTI treatment includes bigger alloy wheels — 18-inch here with my tester’s optional Wolfsburg package — a lowered sport suspension, a unique grille and red accents. It’s very subtle, and subtlety is what a proper GTI is all about. Flexibility, too, is

apparent here. If you want a showy pocket rocket, option one of the GTI’s brighter paint schemes. If you don’t want the boss raising his eyebrows at what you’ve got parked in the corporate lot, go for one of the neutral colours and blend right in with the Toyotas and Hondas. The GTI remains one of the few sport compact cars that a grown-up can get away with driving without looking like a hooligan. Environment Inside, the GTI will please purists and disappoint those looking

for high-tech gadgets. The plaid seat inserts that come with the base cloth seats look great, and pay proper homage to the sprightly Rabbit of the 1970s. They’re also well bolstered and very comfortable. The rest of the cabin is a mix of spartan design and spacious — for a hatchback — layout. The smalldiameter, ﬂat-bottomed steering wheel is a nice touch, and looks similar to the helm you might ﬁnd in a S-model Audi. The dash, on the other hand, is bleak and black, and the centre

another one of these cars in the driveway. They’re safe, they ﬁt the child seat — it’s basically all of that rally car sideways crazy stuff in a nice practical package you can sneak past the Ministry of Finance (i.e. one’s spouse). Details about what’s going on under the hood are still not out yet, but expect the Imprezabased hot-rod to have the ubiquitous Subaru symmetrical all-wheel drive and a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine making around 270 horsepower, with a bit better fuel economy than the outgoing car. I can’t wait to strap in a car seat and start coating the interior with cat hair. Hyundai executives get the axe Embarrassed by two major recalls regarding the braking systems of the Genesis sedan (nothing too major, just internal corrosion), Hyundai’s head of R&D stepped down this week, joined by two other executives. “Resigned” is the word used, though there’s occasionally little choice given in these circumstances. A face-saving measure as the recall expands to include nearly 50,000 vehicles? Perhaps, though there’s something to be said here for a corporate culture that actually presents consequences for quality failures. All too often in the automotive industry, someone’s failures just

Toyota readies rally racing GT-86 Speaking of rally rockets, Toyota’s motorsports wing just revealed their intent to take the rear-drive Toyobaru coupe rallying. Built by Subaru, but with some Toyota DNA in there too, the GT-86 is Toyota’s version of the Scion FR-S. Changes will include suspension toughening and a sequential gearbox, but the GT-86 will remain rear-drive and probably a great deal of fun to thrash through the gravel. The World Rally Championship has a class perfect for this sort of thing, and hopefully the competition leads to some interesting special editions, as it did last time Toyota went rallying in earnest. Mercedes-Benz readies inline-six Think of a Germanmade straight-six, and the image of a blue-and-white roundel immediately pops into mind — you tend not to think of the threepointed star. Even so, MercedesBenz is reportedly in development with a new inline-six-cylinder engine to ﬁt under the hood of the new E-Class. They already have a series of V6s as well as four-cylinder turbodiesels or twin-turbo V-8s, so the obvious question is: why bother? It’s not so much to do with the inherent balance of an inline-six, as much as

Italian police clamp down on counterfeit scooters As far as copyright goes, the Far East is something of a Wild West, with blatant infringements and cheap knockoffs everywhere you go. There’s not much anyone seems to be able to do about it. However, if you have the effrontery to bring a knockoff Vespa to a trade show in the country where the real thing is made, expect some consequences. At the Italian International Motorcycle Exhibition, the financial crime arm of Italy’s police swooped in and started confiscating. At least 11 faux-Vespas were seized, and you can expect some pretty hefty fines to come down the pipelines. Piaggo Group, the company with rights to the original raspy scooter, was understandably delighted by the action.

the potential for a modular engine that can be cut back to four or even three cylinders.

Interior passes mother-in-law test From page 54 section between the seats looks a bit plastic. But here again, the GTI sticks to its mission statement. It passes what I’d like to think of as the Potential Mother-in-Law Test – cram your ﬁancée’s mom into the butt-pinching Recaros of the Focus ST, as a comparison, and there’ll be hissed whispering behind doors. Tuck her into the optional leather-covered buckets of a GTI, and there’s little to ﬁnd fault with.

Having said that, the Fender-branded stereo in the GTI remains a bit behind the times when compared with the advances Korean and Japanese manufacturers have made in onboard infotainment. It’s powerful and the functionality is there, but this is a car that’s been on sale for several years, and you can tell. The trunk space qualiﬁes as usable, but not spacious. The four-door version is entirely workable See Power page 58

Performance Start paper racing the GTI against more powerful competitors like the Focus ST or Mazdaspeed3, and the car’s focus on reserved performance starts looking like an Achilles heel. With just 201 horsepower from an iron-block, aluminiumhead 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, the GTI seems more pocket than rocket. What’s more, my tester for the week was the heavier four-door version, and it had been optioned with the six-speed DSG gearbox. This is a dual-clutch automatic transmission and it both adds weight and isn’t the snick-snick sixspeed manual you sort of want in a hot hatchback. Add in front-wheel drive, and you’ve got what would seem to be a watered-down machine that’s competing in a segment ﬁlled with fullstrength rivals. However, depressing the somewhatsilly square starter button revealed something surprising, and yet at the same time not-at-allsurprising. There are cars that are about numbers, and there are cars that are about feel, and the GTI is one of the latter. It always has been, and it certainly is so here. Despite the weight and the modest power, the GTI is happy to jackrabbit off the line with a generous dollop of turbocharged torque, and then keep things on the boil with the lightning-quick dual-clutch six-speed. Pleasing though VW’s golf-ball shifter manual might be, the DSG

manages to impart the same directly connected feel of a manual with the everyday tractability of an automatic. However, this car is happiest with the shifter cranked over to sport, and the actual shifting handled by the too-small, steeringwheel-mounted paddleshifters. It lets out a “parp” on the upshift and gives a little backfire on the down shift, and generally gives you the feel that you’re driving a car built to make driving fun. The power might not be up to the levels of the Ford, or the Mazda, or allwheel-drive rivals like the Subaru WRX, but none of those cars provide a dualpurpose automatic like this, and the Mazdaspeed3 can feel over-powered in some situations. While more power for your GTI is just a software reflash and a voided warranty away, the driver often feels like more horsies might not actually be needed. Hitting the corners, this nimble little car impresses by not wresting the steering wheel from your hand, and by having what seems to be just the right amount of go. The wrigglier the road gets, the bigger the smile on your face, as finding a rhythm with the GTI is all too easy. It’s great backroads fun. Get the GTI back on the highway and tuck it in the slow lane and, surprisingly, it’s happy here too. The 2.0-litre turbo has excellent low-end response, and even though the DSG gearbox upshifts quickly to conserve fuel economy, it also drops gears quickly if passing is attempted. In fact, the only flaw in the GTI’s do-everything mantra seems to come along when the rain falls. Off the line, even the stickier tires of the Wolfsburg package are See Little page 59

Little change in GTI over the years From page 58

momentarily overwhelmed and they scrabble briefly at the pavement. It’s easier to modulate this behaviour with the manual transmission, but in our wet, hilly city, something to be aware of. Features At a base price of less than $30,000 for the threedoor model, the GTI isn’t a bad deal. Vee-Dub fans looking for the cheapest way into the 2.0-litre turbo promised land should check out the GLI sedan, but the GTI undercuts its mid-$30,000 competition by a significant amount. That is, until you start adding options. The DSG gearbox is an extra $1,600, and while it does improve the flexibility of the car, it isn’t necessarily going to bump the resale as much. The Wolfsburg Edition options on my tester (18inch alloys, sport seats, touchscreen navigation, push-button start) are all bundled together for a reasonable 10 per cent price increase, and qualify as fully loaded. Pretty much the only option left on the table is a leather interior — spec the higher-end interior and you’ve got a bargain Audi. Fuel economy is rated at a scarcely believable 8.7 litres/100 kilometres city and 6.3 l/100 km highway — so don’t believe it. Mixed-use is much closer to the city mileage even if split down the middle in driving; but then, that’s pretty much what you’d expect from a hot hatchback, and a bit better than higher horsepower rivals.
