Teachers ruling ‘bittersweet’

Court restores teachers’ rights to bargain class size JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

North Shore teachers were applauding a B.C.

Supreme Court decision this week that struck down a decade-old provincial law that took away teachers’ rights to

bargain class size and classroom supports for special needs students. Presidents of both the North Vancouver and West Vancouver teachers associations, who represent about 1,500 teachers in the two school districts, said they were pleased with

the ruling, which ﬁned the province $2 million, but added it was bittersweet after a decade of court ﬁghts on the issue. “It’s been a long battle,” said Rob Millard, president of the West Vancouver Teachers Association. Since the province

stripped the teachers of the ability to set limits on class size, those numbers have been rising, as has the number of special needs students in each class. The impact has been “signiﬁcant,” said Daniel Storms, president of the North Vancouver Teachers

Association. “You didn’t notice it right away but it’s been cumulative.” Storms said over the past decade, teachers have been dealing with more students who have complex needs in the classroom at a See Gov’t page 5

The North Shore’s only member of the Senate says she was surprised by Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s announcement that all Liberal senators will sit as independents — but not upset. Senator Mobina Jaffer, a Blueridge resident appointed to the red chamber by Jean Chrétien in 2001, learned only minutes before Trudeau issued his statement Wednesday morning that 32 Liberal senators were no longer part of the party caucus and would no longer be expected to vote along partisan lines. “Mr.Trudeau and the head of the senate caucus came and told us what he was going to read to the media and left,” she said. “We were surprised but after two hours of reﬂection, we were all feeling very liberated.This is what we wanted.This is what

Councils query pipeline expansion North Shore municipalities concerned about Kinder Morgan JEREMY SHEPHERD AND BRENT RICHTER editor@nsnews.com

All three of the North Shore’s municipal governments have taken a critical stance on Kinder Morgan’s application to twin its pipeline to Burnaby. Following council meetings this month, the City and District of North

Vancouver are applying to the National Energy Board to have intervener status when hearings into the pipeline expansion begin later this year. City council members voted unanimously Monday night on a motion from Coun. Pam Bookham to apply for intervener status to make sure Kinder Morgan has “adequately accounted for the potential

social, environmental and economic impacts that their proposal could have on the City of North Vancouver.” Kinder Morgan is seeking to twin approximately 981 kilometres of its Trans Mountain pipeline, which runs between Edmonton and Burnaby. The expansion would allow the energy giant to nearly triple the amount of oil exported, from 300,000 to 890,000 barrels a day. Trafﬁc in the harbour would also increase, with 34 tankers hauling oil each month.

Currently, only ﬁve vessels typically carry oil out of the harbour each month. Coun. Craig Keating expressed pragmatic concern. “I’m not one to say that all pipelines are bad. If they are, we should rip out the ones that exist and see how far we get on our next drive. Having said that, I’m deeply opposed to the notion that we’re sending abroad raw bitumen without processing it here in Canada. We’re shipping jobs overseas. I think that needs to be an economic

impact we discuss,” he said, adding that expanding pipelines through urban areas is also troubling. Citing the potential for environmental devastation, District of North Vancouver council voted unanimously to oppose Kinder Morgan’s proposed pipeline expansion at a meeting Jan. 20. “We’re in a situation where we have all the risk and no reward,” said Coun. Doug MacKay-Dunn. Despite the chances of a spill rising exponentially with the expansion, there

has been no compelling study on how heavy oil such as diluted bitumen reacts in the region’s marine environment, according to MacKayDunn. The statistical risk of a spill is too great to be ignored, said Coun. Robin Hicks, adding the response from the Western Canadian Marine Response Corp. could be “entirely inadequate.” When discussing the issue last November, See Maplewood page 5

Senate Liberals form own caucus

From page 1

Canadians want — that we act independently.This is what we’ve been hearing and so I feel really, really happy today.” While the senators have typically had more autonomy than members of parliament, Jaffer said she had many disagreements with the party line over the years. “Senate business has never been like the House of Commons. It’s been pretty independent but now I can do what I hear British Columbians want and I’m independent to decide on my position,” she said. Most recently, Jaffer rejected the party leader’s request that Liberal senators abstain from the vote on whether to suspend senators Patrick Brazeau, Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin before a complete investigation into their misspending of public funds had been done. “I worked very hard to see that every Canadian deserves due process so I didn’t agree with him and so I voted according to my conscience,” she said. Similarly, Jaffer has wanted to put up more of a ﬁght in the Senate when it came to reviewing the Prime Minister’s tough-oncrime bills, which included mandatory minimum prison sentences that take away a judge’s ability to decide what sentence is appropriate. “Before Trudeau, often, we supported what the House of Commons wanted because that’s what they thought was important,” said Jaffer, also a former criminal lawyer. “I’m absolutely against mandatory minimums and now I can ﬁght really hard against that,” she said, noting it was a hot topic of conversation

dX+]3-U F]S-183 c8+XS- f-\\]3$ ^h`E` FD^^dg79

during a recent trip to the United States. “People were saying ‘What’s the matter with Canada?’We know mandatory minimums are wrong.We made the mistake. Why are you doing this now?” Trudeau’s exile of Liberal senators doesn’t restrict them from being party members or supporting party legislation.They remain the ofﬁcial government opposition in the Senate and late Wednesday, somewhat perplexingly, the senators declared they would be known as Senate Liberals. Even with the change, Jaffer said the Senate is still badly in need of reform that goes beyond one party casting its senators out of caucus. “I truly believe that there needs to be reform. When people have no more respect for an institution, it’s hard to be part of that institution,” she said. “I’m absolutely a believer in reform but I don’t want piecemeal reform.” Ultimately, that will involve amending the constitution, a difﬁcult process requiring the support of the government and the provinces. “You’d have to. Otherwise, we’re just tinkering, right?”

North Van traffic stop nets forgery lab JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

North Vancouver RCMP conducting a traffic stop in lower Lonsdale recently hit the jackpot when they discovered a mobile forgery lab inside a white cube van. When officers stopped the rental van, the driver gave them identification in someone else’s name.

He was arrested for impersonation. But it turned out, that was just the tip of iceberg. Inside the van were bags of stolen mail and identiﬁcation, including passports, driver’s licences and social insurance cards, along with sophisticated forgery equipment. Police also seized bags of identiﬁcation in the process of being altered

as well as completed fake IDs. There could be as many as 500 people whose identiﬁcation was stolen and used to create fake ID, according to Corp. Richard De Jong of the North Vancouver RCMP The stolen identiﬁcation is believed to have come from break and enters, and thefts from vehicles and mailboxes

around the Lower Mainland. Police also located what they described as a “robbery kit” in the van, including zap straps, a balaclava, pepper spray, handcuffs and knives. A 27 year-old Surrey resident, Benjamin Best, is in custody. His next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 11.

Maplewood mudflats flagged From page 3 WCMRC representative Mark Johncox said the spill response team could not treat a spill if the weather makes their job lifethreatening. “We can’t respond in a full-on hurricane,” Johncox said. WCMRC could respond to a spill in the port within one hour and can handle a maximum spurt equivalent to 175,000 barrels, according to a district staff report. The capacity

of an Aframax tanker is approximately 450,000 barrels. An oil spill in the district could go untreated for as long as six hours, according to Johncox. Maplewood mudﬂats was judged to be especially susceptible to harm from a spill because of its proximity to the terminal, according to a staff report. The community has very little trust in spill response, according to Coun. Lisa Muri, who cited “grave concerns” over the ﬁnancial

and ecological costs of bitumen cleanup, which would damage the ﬁshing and tourism industries. “The Alberta and Canadian government will tell us at the end of the day that we are rich, our economy is strong. I ask them at what expense?” she said. Applying to be heard by the National Energy Board won’t cost the city and district anything but staff time. But following through and making a formal

presentation will cost “signiﬁcant” dollars, city Mayor Darrell Mussatto said. Metro Vancouver has also applied and intends to follow through, representing the interests of Lower Mainland municipalities, Mussatto added, so the city can still have a say without the high cost. District of West Vancouver council also voted to voice opposition to the project in the form of a letter but is not seeking intervener status.

Gov’t tried to provoke strike: judge From page 1

time when “resources are getting fewer and fewer.” According to Ministry of Education statistics, there are 629 classes in North Vancouver schools with four or more special needs students. Six years ago, that number was 209. A total of 662 classes have assigned education assistants compared to 439 six years ago. In West Vancouver, 191 classes have four or more special needs students, compared to 101 classes six years ago. A total of 236 classes have assigned education assistants compared with 265 classes

six years ago. The court decision this week essentially restores the teachers’ contract provisions to what they were in 2002 when there were stricter limits on both class size and the number of students with special needs that could be placed in each class. How to achieve that in practice will not be simple, said Storms, adding the cost has been estimated provincewide at between $200 million and $300 million. In a district the size of North Vancouver, the cost could run up to between $8 million and $10 million, he said.

Both the province and the BC School Trustees Association have been studying the lengthy legal decision. Earlier in the week, Premier Christy Clark said the province might consider an appeal. In a summary of her ruling, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Grifﬁn concluded that “the government did not negotiate in good faith with the union” after its legislation limiting teachers’ bargaining powers was struck down the ﬁrst time. She said the reason was government negotiators were occupied with a strategy of putting pressure on

the union to provoke a strike. “The government representatives thought this would give government the opportunity to gain political support for imposing legislation on the union,” wrote the judge. North Vancouver political commentator and former NDP MLA David Schreck said that was particularly shocking. He said the ﬁnancial consequences of the court ruling are huge, but added, “the government has no one to blame but themselves.” “A government cannot simply ignore the constitution and do whatever it wants to.”

Failing grade I

n one of the bluntest decisions to hit the parchment in a long time, this week a Supreme Court justice struck down a provincial law that had twice tried to do an end-run around teacher’s collective bargaining rights in name of political expediency. It started over a decade ago, when the province decided it could unilaterally ignore terms of work written into teachers contracts. After teachers challenged that in court and won, the province reproduced the same provisions in the guise of new legislation. Essentially, the province decided it was above the law. That’s a scary position for any government to take. Even more dumbfounding, the justice ruled that the province was never interested in reaching a negotiated deal with teachers. Its strategy was to push

the teachers into a strike so it could legislate a settlement. Rarely have such Machiavellian machinations been laid quite so bare in a legal document. The province had the hammer. And they planned to use it. As the justice wrote, “Any student of history . . . recognizes that a natural tendency and desire of any political force is to attempt to consolidate and gather more power and to seek to diminish any restraint on that power.” This week, the courts acted as the “safeguard against tyranny” and put the brakes on that. But not before the government spent most of the past decade pummeling the teachers. That’s an unnerving reminder of the long game that’s involved in seeking justice for a wrong. Now we will all pay mightily for the government’s hubris.

Fresh thinking needed in Ambleside Are Ambleside and other West Vancouver merchants doing enough to fight back at Park Royal, the behemoth on their doorstep? Pay attention to the idea of Leslie Plommer, who is both an insider and outsider: Born in West Vancouver and still closely in touch, she began as a summer reporter for The Vancouver Sun, moved to The Globe and Mail, London Times, and then for many years was an editor with London’s left-wing Guardian. In a Christmas letter, Leslie wrote: “One of the many images that flash before my eyes at this time of year, as I pound the pavements of (London’s) West End trying to find presents for people who have everything, is the ridiculous saga of trying to buy a single, simple item in

Trevor Lautens

This Just In

the Dundarave-Ambleside shopping area: A Christmas gift voucher.” On a stopover in 2011 she worked her way through West Van seeking a gift voucher for her dying dad, prominent lawyer Robert Plommer, “who by that time was enduring nursing home cooking and (as a long-time lover, and cook, of Japanese food) was pining for a reliable source

CONTACTUS

of prawn tempura. But not a single sushi place had gift vouchers! “Only when I finally reached tiny, immaculate Yanaki Sushi in the 1400block of Marine Drive did I find staff with the business instincts to find a solution, instead of just saying ‘We don’t do that.’Yanaki had no vouchers either, but what they could do was give me a payment receipt that would act as a voucher. “I found this little episode both sad and annoying, given the perennial lament from Ambleside businesses who supposedly love the old shopping areas, and those who supposedly want to preserve their low-rise character, yet do much of their spending at the likes of Park Royal, or online,” Leslie wrote. “Why don’t they get together on a Shop Ambleside card — and load

yourself with however much credit you want, and send to friends and family as gifts, or use yourself, maybe with special offers?” Well, merchants, what d’you say? Any fresh thinking? I see no evidence that our businesses make any collective attempt to imprint on citizens that these are their shopping areas. ••• Word-people praising their editors are naturally suspect.They are assumed to be sucking up to those who have their sad little lives in the powerful palm of their hands. Freed from such ugly suspicions, I can now state emphatically that Martin Millerchip, who retired as editor of this paper Dec. 31, was in the very top tier of my superiors in the 60 years, ﬁve months (but who’s counting) of paid journalistic fun and games.

We had our disputes, but Martin handled my abject bitching and whining as the tolerated eccentricities of geniuses (you are urged to laugh hysterically). I can now go to supper with him without guilt. ••• Put not your trust in princes (Psalm 146:3, if you care to know). Or modern counterparts. By a 5-2 vote West Van council welched on a promise to restore three tennis courts, temporarily converted to a parking lot while the Westerleigh Retirement Residence was built.Temporary, as often happens, hardens into maybe forever. Owners of abutting Stonethro suites at 21152133 Gordon Ave. are livid about their diminished view and property values. Mayor Mike Smith verbally

shrugged: “We have to make decisions based on the facts at the time.The facts now have changed.” Unimpressed, Stonethro strata council secretary Paul Stott wrote me: “The champions of council were Mary-Ann Booth and Nora Gambioli; with ‘$-signs in their minds’ were the mayor and Michael Lewis.” As Jeremy Shepherd reported in the Jan. 17 News, Booth explained her nay vote: “In an election year, this may come across as self-serving.” A most signiﬁcant remark, since, as Constant Reader will recall, I’ve predicted a Lewis-Booth mayoral battle in November if Smith retires. ••• If there is such a thing as good death,Tim Jones had it.

Transit tension mounting in region The increasingly serious game of chicken between the provincial government and the mayors of Metro Vancouver over transit funding shows no sign of ending. Last week, I wrote that the transit referendum scheduled for the fall faced a rocky road before actually being held. Now, however, the standoff casts doubt on whether that referendum will actually be held at the same time as the upcoming municipal elections. Transportation Minister Todd Stone now insists he wants the mayors to craft a “vision” of transit priorities, and plans to use that to frame the question to put to voters in the fall. Good luck with that. Historically, the mayors have displayed little evidence of agreeing on how to pay for transit improvements. For example, proposals like a parking tax or a vehicle levy have been kicked around from time to time, but various mayors have balked at those ideas. Then there is the question of transit priorities. This is where searching for that elusive consensus really breaks down. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson wants a rapid transit line down

Keith Baldrey

View from the Ledge West Broadway out to the University of B.C. But Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts (whose municipality is the fastest growing of them all) insists three light rail lines are needed in her town. Then there is New Westminster. The first capital city’s ancient network of roads can’t handle much more traffic, a fact cemented by the recent influx of cars and trucks avoiding the Port Mann Bridge toll in favour of the Pattullo Bridge, which feeds into the city. And so New Westminster doesn’t want an expanded Pattullo Bridge, which is what Surrey favours. Can’t everyone just get along? Stone (and Premier Christy Clark) is adamant the referendum will be held. But given the apparent unanimous opposition of the mayors

affected, it is hard to see the point of carrying through with it. If the mayors don’t deliver that “vision” of transit priorities that Stone is looking for, what kind of question would he put on the ballot? Does he ask voters to approve some kind of tax or levy that isn’t supported by the mayors, only to watch as it is voted down? Because the referendum was a campaign promise in the B.C. Liberal platform, it’s hard to see the government bailing on it entirely, even though the Opposition New Democrats are calling for it to be scrapped. Part of the sensitivity here is the painful lesson learned from the HST debacle: don’t spring a new tax on voters without getting their approval ﬁrst, or before at least spending a long time educating them about the need for it. A possible compromise here would be to hold the referendum at a later date. As I noted last week, a number of mayors are spooked at asking voters to approve a new revenue measure in a referendum at the same time they are seeking re-election. A better, and more workable option may be to hold the referendum next spring or even next fall. After all, even in CITY COUNCIL:

COUNCIL WORKSHOP VISION FOR CENTRAL WATERFRONT AREA

the unlikelihood of a referendum question being approved by the voters in the fall, no new transit project is going to be built anytime soon. Whether it’s the UBC rapid transit line or a Surrey light rail line or a further extension of SkyTrain, any such project won’t begin being built for at least a year anyways. So there is no urgent need to have the referendum in the fall. The premier says she favors the fall vote because voters will be more focused, and she argues that an election is the

perfect time for a debate to occur around issues and policies. She may be right about that, but voter turnout in municipal elections is usually quite low. Given what’s at stake regarding potential transit improvements (there are about $20 billion worth of projects on various drawing boards) surely the best scenario is to hold a referendum when there is more enthusiasm for it. The provincial government needs the mayors to buy into this scheme. And the mayors

need to put aside their parochial positions and come up with a regional plan (however difﬁcult it may be to achieve that). The government, having been elected with a transit referendum as part of its campaign platform, can legitimately argue the voters have endorsed such a thing. But the mayors can also argue they are beholden to their constituents — and not the region — at election time. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Grind record holder suspended

ANDY PREST aprest@nsnews.com

The fastest man to ever run the famed Grouse Grind trail is now serving a two-year suspension for an anti-doping rule violation related to his day job as an elite cyclist. On Jan. 20 the Canadian

Centre for Ethics in Sport announced that Vancouver’s Sebastian Salas received a two-year ban from sport because of a “tampering with doping control” violation that occurred during an in-competition test July 10, 2013. Salas is famous on the North Shore for his

incredible times on the Grind. He set the ofﬁcial record for the BMO Grouse Grind Mountain Run at a blistering 25 minutes and one second in 2010.That same year he also set the unofﬁcial Grind record — for times recorded outside of See Records page 11

Crash knocks out power in Ambleside BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

WestVancouver police are investigating after an elderly driver was involved in an accident in Ambleside Friday afternoon, knocking out power to the 1300-block of Marine Drive. The collision happened just after 3:15 p.m. when the 92-year-old NorthVancouver woman was in the parking lot of the 1300-block’s north lane. According to police,

the woman’s Mercedes SUV suddenly accelerated and crashed into a BC Hydro substation box.The resulting power outage knocked 44 customers off the grid, including the West Vancouver Police Department, which had to switch over to emergency power. “At this point it appears accidental,” said Const. Jeff Palmer,West Vancouver police spokesman. The driver’s injuries appear to be just minor abrasions from the airbag

being triggered, according to Palmer. Investigators will check to see the vehicle was not malfunctioning at the time of the crash. “Subject to how the investigation proceeds, we may look at the issue of whether the request for a retest should be submitted to the superintendent of motor vehicles,” Palmer said. BC Hydro planned to have power restored to the block by 5:30 p.m. that evening.

Invasive plants are a major problem in the Lower Mainland. These non-native plants out-compete native vegetation and some are a threat to infrastructure and human health. The District of West Vancouver is developing a strategy to address this problem in our community, and we need your input.

INQUIRING REPORTER Russia’s president welcomes gay people to the Sochi Olympics, provided they “leave the children in peace.” Homosexuals can face two weeks in jail under Russian law. However, reports that tourists will be ﬁned based on the number of Elton John songs on their iPod are unconﬁrmed. Doctor-on-TV turned Twitter muckraker Hugh Laurie recently called for a boycott of Russian vodka. Can we spur human rights reform by mixing our orange juice with Polish vodka, or should we show patience for the country that gave us Tolstoy and Smirnoff? Have your say at nsnews.com —Jeremy Shepherd.

New process for LoLo BIA Public meeting now required

JULES KNOX ContributingWriter

Property owners and business operators will now have the opportunity to voice their opinions if the Lower Lonsdale Business Improvement Area is revived. At its Jan. 20 meeting, council decreed future consideration of a LoLo BIA bylaw will include a public meeting. Plans for the BIA were put on hold earlier this month in anticipation of the city’s report on the central waterfront, which is expected in late February. Council watcher Kerry Morris collected

142 signatures of Lower Lonsdale business representatives opposed to the BIA, including IGA. He estimated that approximately $1,000 and 300 hours were spent collecting signatures and said more businesses would have signed if the Lower Lonsdale Business Association hadn’t withdrawn its petition. Coun. Pam Bookham voiced concerns about the LLBA’s failure to receive support from the businesses it is supposed to represent. “I think we need to reset the clock on the BIA,” she said. “I want to challenge the LLBA to do the kind of work that Mr. Morris was able to do with a very limited budget, a lot of energy and very little time,” she said. The LLBA should be able to provide signatures from struggling businesses

if it wants to move forward with the BIA, she said. “We approved a grant of $120,000 to the LLBA to do just that, and one year later they came before us asking that we set in motion this bylaw process without being able to demonstrate that level of support,” she said. The BIA was previously headed for approval unless a majority of area business owners opposed the association.The process leaves the decision up to landlords, not the businesses that will shoulder the tax through triple-net leases, Morris said. Coun. Rod Clark called the negative petition process distasteful. “We need to pull the plug on this, and quick,” he said. “I ﬁnd it amazing that we spent $120,000 and roughly 400 phone calls couldn’t be made,” he said.

Coun. Craig Keating said the BIA was an opportunity to put resources into the hands of the business owners and operators to improve their neighbourhood. BIAs are able to put time and money into parking, signage and landscaping issues, said Mayor Darrell Mussatto. Instead of asking businesses if they are in favour of increased taxes, it would have been better to approach them about making Lower Lonsdale a better business district. “The Lower Lonsdale Business Association are volunteers, and they’re not out there getting paid,” he said, noting that there is one salaried employee. “They’re trying to make it better and offer a solution to the change that’s happening in Lower Lonsdale,” he said.

Records set before doping control violation From page 8 the annual run — at 23:48, beating the previous record by more than 30 seconds. The CCES release states that Salas “fully explored his rights under the Canadian Anti-Doping Program and

eventually chose to admit the doping control violation, waive his right to a hearing, and accept a two-year sanction ending August 1, 2015.” When contacted by the North Shore News, Grouse Mountain public

relations manager Jacqueline Blackwell said they were previously unaware of the violation but they would not be changing their records because Salas set his marks years before the violation occurred. “As we have so far not received information

suggesting Mr. Salas’ violations date back to 2010 or prior, the record set in our recreational race will stand as a formal Grouse Grind Mountain Run record,” she said. “If further evidence comes to light we will certainly examine it.”

Other LEC Advantages

→ LEC’s rates are signiﬁcantly lower than the cost of using electric baseboards or stand-alone boilers. LEC has recently increased its rates for the ﬁrst time in a decade.

How District Energy Works

→ LEC encourages conservation. Developers and users are charged on the basis of their capacity requirement and consumption. Developers that invest in energy conservation beneﬁt from a lower connection fee.

Innovation and Flexibility

→ Hot water heat reduces demands on electricity and greatly increases the efﬁciency of energy supply. One small miniplant can serve many buildings.

Through a network of underground pipes and mini-plants installed strategically throughout the City, LEC circulates hot water to heat the buildings that are connected to its system. The system capacity and network is built to follow demand, which minimizes costs. More importantly, it allows for the integration of alternative energy sources as they become available.

LEC ensures that buildings are heated with the most appropriate source of energy, whether it is available now or in the future. LEC’s miniplants currently use a combination of high efficiency natural gas boilers, ground source heat pumps, heat recovery from building cooling and solar thermal panels to heat hot water. While high efficiency natural gas boilers presently provide heat for a significant part of LEC customers, solar panels and heat pump geo-exchange technology are used in priority whenever available. Compared to using stand-alone conventional boilers, centralized district energy systems like LEC provide significant energy and emissions reductions. LEC is continually exploring ways to use alternative and renewable fuels.

AN EAST SIDE STORY “In 1947, Jerome Robbins approached Leonard Bernstein and Arthur Laurents about collaborating on a contemporary musical adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. He proposed that the plot focus on the conﬂict between an Irish Catholic family and a Jewish family living on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, during the Easter–Passover season . . . Bernstein wanted to present the material in operatic form, but Robbins and Laurents resisted the suggestion. They described the project as ‘lyric theatre,’ and Laurents wrote a ﬁrst draft he called East Side Story.” —Wikipedia More online at nsnews.com/ entertainment twitter.com/NSNPulse

Production tweaksWest Side Story for modern audiences

Street smart ■ Broadway Across Canada presents West Side Story, Feb. 4-9 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, 630 Hamilton St.,Vancouver.Tickets start at $35, available at ticketmaster.ca. CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

Those foreign-language opera lessons MaryJoanna Grisso took in college are ﬁnally coming in handy. In her role as the lovestruck Maria in the North American touring revival of West Side Story, she is required to sing in Spanish from time to time. In fact, about 10 per cent of the dialogue and lyrics in this touring production have been loosely translated from their original English into Spanish.

“But it’s nothing that everyone can’t understand,” Grisso assures, explaining the actors use body language to keep the audience up to speed. Director David Saint has said the inclusion of Spanish is meant to add authenticity to the well-known story, which focuses on two rival street gangs on Manhattan’s Upper West Side: the Polish-American Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks. In reality, new immigrants from Puerto Rico would be likely to speak amongst themselves in their native tongue. Translating bits and pieces of the musical is just one tweak that sets this version of West Side Story apart from the original 1957 Broadway hit created by Arthur Laurents (book), Leonard Bernstein (music)

and Stephen Sondheim (lyrics). “It’s a little more honest, it’s a little more truthful,” Grisso says of the production, which stops off at Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Theatre Feb. 4 to 9. She says it’s a “harsher” take on the tragic tale of starcrossed lovers Tony, one of the Jets, and Maria, the sister of the Sharks’ leader. For example, the duelling street gangs are more intimidating than their often-spoofed ballet-dancing, ﬁngersnapping predecessors. “These characters are a little more scary, I think, and it makes them a little more truthful because they’re gang members.” The director sought to remove much of the coy musical comedy theatre jargon of the 1950s, making it easier to take the

characters more seriously as troubled youth. “Before, the Jets kind of seemed like the good guys and the Sharks seemed like the bad guys and now everyone seems equal, everyone is violent, everyone is mean,” Grisso says. In this revival, choreographer Joey McKneely has reproduced and rejuvenated the original choreography work of Jerome Robbins, but he’s also made the dance moves edgier, harder and more passionate. “Instead of it being beautiful and pretty, it’s infused with this acting behind it and with this energy behind it that’s hatred and violent.” The gritty nature of the production also affects Maria’s character and her relationship with Tony.

BAD MONKEY ^<i7 jO

“It makes it that much harder for love to survive in a world of bigotry and hate and violence,” Grisso says, explaining that over the course of the two-hour show, Maria transforms from an ingénue into a mature woman. “It’s an incredible journey for her to go from being this sweet young little girl who falls in love — and that in itself can make someone grow up a lot — but then to someone who has to ﬁght for her love, literally.” Despite the changes, the essence of West Side Story remains and fans of the original Broadway musical can still expect to hear all the same catchy tunes. “It’s those iconic songs and the iconic story — the Romeo and Juliet story — so See Grisso page 15

New Arrivals for Spring!

Grisso dreamed of playing Maria From page 13 many people can relate,” Grisso says. “It’s something that people are just going to have so much fun seeing.” Grisso has been on tour for two years with close to 300 shows under her belt, but says performing “I Feel Pretty” and “Tonight” never grows tiresome. She had her sights set on the role of Maria ever since she ﬁrst watched the 1961 movie adaptation of West Side Story

in elementary school — at which time she says she bore a resemblance to leading lady NatalieWood. A few years later, while working as an usher at a theatre in her hometown of Morgantown, WestVirginia, a touring production of West Side Story came through town. “I remember standing and taking everyone’s tickets and then watching the show and thinking ‘I could do that someday, I really think it could do it.’”

Four days after graduating from West Virginia University with a BFA in vocal performance, Grisso relocated to NewYork to pursue her career. Just last year, she returned to the same Morgantown theatre where she used to rip tickets, this time to play Maria in front of her family, friends and former teachers. It was, without a doubt, “the most spectacular night of my life,” she says.

“Love the show, love the samples. Absolutely fantastic. Educational and entertaini ng!”

MUSIC

Royal Wood cuts to the chase on CD Emotionally charged and honest work set for release in March ■ Royal Wood, part of the Cap Global Roots Series, Friday, Jan. 31 at 8 p.m. at BlueShore Financial Centre at Capilano University.Tickets: $30/$27. capilanou.ca/ ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com

For his new album, The Burning Bright, Royal Wood made a concerted effort to write from his heart rather than his head. Wood’s last record, 2012’s WeWere Born to Glory, was very much a “pop experiment,” he says, reached Tuesday from Prince George where, as part of his current Western Canadian tour, he was set to play a sold-out Cold Snap Festival show that evening.

The Juno-nominated WeWere Born to Glory was essentially “a boutique homage” to the pop records Wood loved when he was a kid — by The Beatles, Tom Petty and the Traveling Wilburys included. “It was a fun experiment, but I didn’t feel artistically fulﬁlled,” he says. “Even though it’s the most successful record I’ve had and it led to a lot of great things for me —and it’s not that I regret making it — but I just knew that the next record, I had to go back to making art for art’s sake, and no other reason.” Wood, who when he’s not on the road, splits his time between Toronto, Ont., and the farm he grew up on outside of Peterborough, took off to Ireland in May 2013. He rented a little

cottage in the middle of nowhere, the nearest village, Slane, was about six kilometres away, and spent ﬁve weeks alone and completely unplugged — no phone, Internet or TV. “It was just myself and a piano and a guitar, and basically a ﬁreplace. Each morning I’d wake up and some days I’d feel like writing and other days I’d just want to take a walk or go have a pint in the town,” he says of his sojourn, which proved to be a rather meditative and introspective experience. The solitude proved fruitful and Wood was able to coax out close to 40 songs by the time he headed back to Canada. “It was a question of having to be still. I wasn’t thinking about, ‘Is this good for radio? Is my label going to like this? Is my band going to like this? Are the See Wood page 20

Wood recorded part of the album in Toronto and Hamilton with producer Dean Drouillard (who’s currently touring with him as his guitarist), and in Los Angeles, Calif. Twelve songs comprise The Burning Bright, a “concept album that I’m really proud of,” he says. “While the songs were emotionally charged, the creation of them was so fulfilling in a way that I just missed in my life.This whole process has been cathartic to say the least. I definitely feel like an artist again and I kind of lost that for a bit,” he adds. The Burning Bright’s first single, “Forever and Ever,” is charting on iTunes, is a top 25 hit in Canada and is getting tons of radio play. “That was an anomaly. It definitely is the one respite on the album, of sort of a happier tone. It’s kind of infectious and fun and certainly about love and celebrating love and wanting it,” says Wood. “Forever and Ever” was initially co-written for a film project that fell through. “It does work sonically but, from an emotional tone or undercurrent, it kind of stands alone on the album. But, thankfully, again it’s a breath of fresh air I think. Otherwise you have 12 songs of melancholy heartbreak. It’s nice to have the one happier tone for a moment.” Prior to heading to Ireland last spring,Wood separated from his wife, fellow singer-songwriter Sarah Slean. “The last album was really celebrating life as much as anything else.This album is still celebrating life and it’s still one that’s grounded and life-affirmed but it’s also more about just my place in my life, and within my family. My marriage was basically falling apart by that point, and just a lot of other things were going on. It was just a time that was definitely unsettled and to deal with it, I needed to disappear and figure it out.” “Music has always been the thing that’s got me through everything in my life, be it the most joyous to the most difficult,” he adds. Wood is excited about the pending release of The Burning Bright, slated for March 18. See Recording page 25

44 Dresses for school district 44

Boutique collecting donations for Grade 7 students in need CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

FASHION FILE Our weekly roundup of fashion and beauty events and activities. page 23

In five months, Grade 7 students across the North Shore will say farewell to their respective elementary schools before transitioning into secondary school. Though perhaps not accompanied by the same pomp and circumstance as high school graduation festivities, elementary schools also hold yearend celebrations for their departing students and, much like the Grade 12s, the Grade 7s will often mark the occasion in formal wear. Realizing that not every family can afford a fancy new outfit for their child, Elena Grant, owner of Sofiabella tween clothing store in Edgemont Village, decided to start collecting gently used dresses for Grade 7 students in North Vancouver who could use some extra help. Grant has dubbed her donation drive 44 Dresses — named for North Vancouver School District 44. By word-ofmouth alone, she’s already gathered more than 70 girls’ dresses, a few pairs of shoes and some boys’ button-down shirts. “It was overwhelming,” she says of the quick response. “This community particularly is just so generous.” The very first donation came from her own home. “My daughter’s Grade 7 dress is still hanging in her closet. She’s in Grade 11

now, she’s never going to wear it again, and I’m sure all of her friends are in the same boat.” Grant encourages other parents to take a look in their own closets. “If somebody has a dress that their daughter enjoyed, and if they can pass that along to somebody else and spread that joy to another girl, it’s a win-win for both the giver and the receiver.” Grant says she recognizes a new party dress is a small gesture for a young girl in need, but she also knows the positive effect one’s attire can have on self-esteem. “I’ve never been one of those to subscribe to the idea you are what you wear, but I certainly appreciate fashion and I know how I feel when I wear an outfit that just makes me feel good about myself,” she says. “You walk a little bit taller and you just have a little bit more confidence and I just want every girl to experience that feeling.” Before starting 44 Dresses, Grant first contacted the Cinderella Project, a registered charity that encourages youth to stay in school and collects formal attire for Grade 12 students attending graduation. But the project does not take donations for elementary students, Grant confirmed. She was initially inspired to lend a hand See Every page 23

there’s a greater feeling of isolation and shame.” Dresses, shoes and accessories aside, Upton hopes every Grade 7 feels special and conﬁdent at their elementary school farewell celebration. “It’s not so much the what you wear, it’s the how you feel.” Donations to 44 Dresses will be accepted into the spring and can be dropped off at Soﬁabella, located at 3068 Highland Blvd., North Vancouver.

MUSIC

Frederiksen gives us the low down Basso profondo specializes in self-accompanied lute songs That singer is Joel Frederiksen. Frederiksen is preparing to take the stage at Presentation House Theatre for Orpheus, I Am, a celebration of 17th century music. Born in Sleepy Eye, Minn., Frederiksen wields a basso profondo that was a gift from his contralto mother. Once puberty ﬁnished breaking Frederiksen’s voice and gluing it back together, the Minneapolis-raised performer found he had the lowest sound in his 70singer high school choir. Any singer should keep track of where their voice likes to live, Frederiksen explains. “My voice has always liked to live pretty low,” he says.

■ Joel Frederiksen, Orpheus I Am at Presentation House Theatre, Feb. 4 at 8 p.m. Tickets $30/$27. JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

Orpheus is used to a tough room. The mythical musician took a trip to the underworld and won his wife’s freedom by charming a crowd only slightly less hostile than the beer-bottle launching, Patsy Clineloving gang on the other side of the chicken wire in Bob’s Country Bunker. To conjure Orpheus’ journey for a modern audience, a singer needs to be able to sing a low D that dips into “the depths of hell.”

Now living in Munich, Germany, Frederiksen has retained his Minnesota accent, ending sentences with a friendly ‘you know,’ that wouldn’t have sounded out of place in Fargo. To counter the oceanic crust nature of his voice, Frederiksen accompanies himself on a lute tuned about one-third higher than a guitar. It was an instrument he gravitated to after hearing a recital. “The sound was just so magical,” he recalls. “It sounds like glass to me, somehow. It has a clarity, a beauty to the sound.” Luckily for Frederiksen, the lute market in Maryland favoured the buyer, and he was able to pick up a cheap instrument. Once he had the lute, a world of music dating back centuries opened up to Frederiksen. See Legend page 25

MUSIC

Legend of Orpheus fascinates singer

From page 24

Of particular interest was an English lutenist from the Tudor period named Robert Johnson, who composed work about Orpheus, as well as John Dowland, a lutenist who was known as the English Orpheus. “They were writing in a different, more free, more declamatory fashion,” he said. Frederiksen is a student of music dedicated to the mythological Greek musician. “Orpheus just seems to work. Everybody wrote pieces about Orpheus from (Christoph) Gluck to (Claudio) Monteverdi,” he notes. The notion of a singer who can turn rocks into streams is a metaphor for the Greek ideal of reaching the soul through music, he says. Like F. Scott Fitzgerald famously wrote, Frederiksen beats on, boats against the current, ceaselessly into the music of the past.

Recording traces the past year From page 20 “It’s been a long journey and it required a lot of emotional and artistic investments but we’ve now gotten there for sure,” he says. That said, it is a slightly scary prospect due to it being such an honest work. “It really tells the tale of what the last year of my life has been. But at the same time it’s how I deal with my life and it’s why I’m not on a couch talking to a psychiatrist somewhere. I get to get it out in music and then I feel better and move on,” he says. Wood’s current Western Canadian tour will bring him to North Vancouver tonight, Friday, Jan. 31, for a show at Capilano University’s BlueShore Financial Centre, then Whistler tomorrow night, Feb. 1, and Courtenay on Monday, Feb. 3. He’ll then head back to his home province for a slew of Ontario dates in the coming months. For more information visit royalwood.ca.

“Early music was always something of an interest to me,” he says. “I sang in madrigal choirs when I was in high school. I sang ever since I could remember.” Frederiksen admired singer/songwriters throughout high school, and took to penning his own tunes. After studying voice in university, he interned at the Library of Congress, delving into stacks of vinyl and learning about the folk troubadours who crissed and crossed the country, singing about wine, women

and work. “I thought I might really be a folkie,” Frederiksen explains. The world of folk music was surprisingly closeminded, he recalls. It wasn’t enough to sing a song, you had to have lived it. “Obviously I couldn’t go back and grow up again in the Appalachian Mountains,” he says. So he moved further back. He heard lutenist Julian Bream accompany English tenor Peter Pears singing Elizabethan lute music

from 1600. It was love at ﬁrst pluck. “I was totally fascinated and I right away recognized: this is another level of singer/songwriting.” He was also fascinated by the idea of the Renaissance man — a polymath who can speak multiple languages, write poetry, sing, and play an instrument. Bringing Johnson and Dowland’s music to life means knowing its history. “You have to be at least a little bit interested in going to the library and

doing some research,” he says. “We can read a lot about the performance circumstances, think about where they performed and there’s a lot of people writing about music theory and also reﬂections on what things sounded like.” But Frederiksen’s concerts are meant to be more than a re-enactment of music that used to move people. It’s intended as a revival, reaching the audience on a visceral level. “We don’t have a CD of how John Dowland really sounded,” Frederiksen says,

laughing. “I perform for modern day audiences. I’m a person, you know. I live now. I’m interested also in communicating with my audience now.” For I Am Orpheus, Frederiksen hopes to give a performance good enough to free a spouse from the underworld. “I don’t give a lecture at my concerts,” he says. “I’m interested in touching my audience, in moving people, in having that connection and that reaction that you can only have in live performance.”

Bad Monkey thrives in a corrupt world ■ Bad Monkey by Carl Hiaasen, Alfred A. Knopf, 317 pages, $26.95. AndrewYancy’s police career is circling the toilet bowl. An angry assault involving a vacuum cleaner and a girlfriend’s exhusband has found him demoted from detective to restaurant inspector, known as the roach patrol. When an unwanted body part turns up on the end of a tourist’s fishing line,Yancy’s former boss asks for a favour. Ready to do anything to get on the good side of the Monroe County Sheriff, Yancy finds himself with a severed arm in his freezer and a drive to the Miami crime lab in his future. The sheriff wants to have the Miami police deal with the arm butYancy manages to keep coming up with links to it that don’t make sense and finds his detective skills aren’t all forgotten. Murder, real estate scams, voodoo and a slightly deranged monkey go tumbling together as Hiaasen guides us through an unpredictable series of crimes committed

by an unlikely roster of criminals. Moving from southern Florida over to Andros Island the story stays connected to the unattached appendage whileYancy ﬁnds himself a target. Hiaasen manages to touch on his favourite themes of greed, corruption, environmental damage and murder all carried out with incompetent aggression by an odd collection of characters. He wraps it all up with his own version of justice, even for the monkey. — Terry Peters

affe Al Mercato was inspired by the old style Italian Cantinas that Antonio grew up with in Italy. They were the place where the locals would go. It was the place where you caught up with the local news and events.

We have recreated that experience here in West Vancouver, with our Caffe/Gelateria/ Alimentari (or market to those of us who didn’t grow up in a quaint Italian village). Come and join us for an Italian inspired coffee, fresh baked goods, such as breads, mufﬁns, scones, cakes and cookies or a homemade gelato. While you enjoy your coffee, you can shop in our deli section for fresh cheeses and meats as well as all the ingredients you need for your Italian feast at home.

2014 Jaguar F-Type

Jaguar chases a legend David Chao

Behind the Wheel

Scan this page with the Layar app to see more photos and video of the Jaguar F-Type

Over the years there have been many amazing cars that have caught our eyes. But only one earned Enzo Ferrari’s praise as “the most beautiful car ever made.”That car was the Jaguar E-Type. Mr. Ferrari wasn’t the only one to appreciate the iconic Jag’s look. In 1996, the NewYork City Museum of Modern Art added a blue roadster to its permanent design collection. An interesting tidbit, however, is that Sir William Lyons — the co-founder of Jaguar — was completely underwhelmed by the ﬁnished product. He didn’t like the look of the backend and didn’t think it would sell. He couldn’t have been more wrong.When the E-Type was unveiled to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in 1961 it created a sensation. But it wasn’t just its beguiling looks that captivated everyone. Back in the early ’60s, the comparable sport grand tourers came from Italy, in the form of Ferrari and Maserati. No one expected one from England. Despite costing a third of their price,

This instantly made it the must-have-car for the jet-set. Unfortunately, it has been 40 years since the last EType was made. No Jag since (arguably no car) has stirred up the emotions like the E-Type had. Jaguar is hoping to end that with its spiritual successor, the F-Type. Design Ian Callum, a highly respected car designer and current director of design at Jaguar, oversaw the design

of the F-Type. And while the new F-Type is intended to recreate the soul of the legendary E-Type, it is not just a retro re-make of the E-Type — it is a truly revolutionary design that is fresh, aggressive, and simply beautiful. This is a truly modern sports car with an all aluminum body.The long hood and short rear deck give the F-Type proper roadster proportions, and its grille and air intakes are more aggressive than any Jaguar before.

Callum aimed to create a car that was as sleek and as smooth as a jet.To that end, there are no protruding door handles or rear wing. The handles are hidden and not revealed until needed and the spoiler remains ﬂush until you reach 100 kilometres per hour. The F-Type is available in four variations, each with unique styling cues.The base model is available as a coupe or convertible.The F-Type S, also available in coupe of convertible trim, is a bit more aggressive with

gloss-black accents, a front splitter, rear diffuser, and 19-inch wheels.The F-Type V8 S is only available as a convertible and the most visible difference is the exhaust tips doubling and moving outward. F-Type R models are only available in coupe form and boast exotic car levels of performance. Inside, the F-Type feels very much like a modern sports car, with a dash angled toward the driver and body-hugging seats.The See Exhaust page 46

centre vents remain hidden and only rise up when you turn the climate control on, a neat feature you would not have found in an original E-Type. Performance While the ancestors of the F-type, the C and DType, were purpose built track cars, Jaguar didn’t want that kind of feeling for this car.They wanted the F-type to be a fine handling car that would still maintain a high level of refinement on the road. And they have achieved just that. If you leave the driving settings in normal mode, it’s surprisingly smooth and comfortable.The hydraulic steering is sharp, but never twitchy, and there’s loads of grip. If you want to play, put the suspension in dynamic mode.Then you can get that aggressive feel right into your hands — it remains completely flat through the corners. Dynamic mode also quickens throttle response, makes steering heavier, and makes shifts from the excellent eight-speed gear box faster. If you’re driving a convertible and get tired of the wind in your hair, you can raise the fabric roof in 12 seconds.With it up, it’s surprisingly quiet — that is unless you turn on the active exhaust.

The sound of this car is phenomenal.The exhaust note is so “raw,” it’s amazing it made it into production. Most modern sports cars are so smooth and quiet, the driving experience is not much different from that of any sports sedan. But the F-Type acts like it has a mission to accomplish. Each of the four versions of F-Type come with their own supercharged engine. The showpiece F-Type R has a 5.0-litre V-8 boasting 550 h.p. and can go 0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds. The V8 S also has a 5.0litre V-8. It produces 495 h.p. and can get to 100km/h in 4.9 seconds, which is plenty fast in a car without a roof. The model most buyers will want is the F-Type S, with its 380 h.p., 3.0-litre V6. It can still do 0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds, but because the V-6 is lighter than the V-8, this car is not as nose heavy so it’s a bit sharper to drive. The least glamorous is the base F-Type and its 340 h.p., 3.0-litre V-6. It’s still fast enough (0-100 km/h in 5.3 seconds), but it doesn’t come with features like the conﬁgurable dynamic mode, active sports exhaust, or a limited slip differential.

display surrounded by raceinspired analogue dials in the instrument panel looks nice in this interior, although a bit simplistic. There are a few notable traits missing — the first being chrome. Not only is it going out of fashion, but it can also be blinding when reflecting all of the sunlight pouring into a convertible. The ignition button, paddle shifters and driving mode toggle switch are finished in a nice anodized bronze colour as a result. Also, the rotary gear selector knob, which rose out the centre console in Jag’s of the recent past, is gone.That was an interesting feature, but the more traditional stick lever continues the sporty nature. It needs to be noted that the F-Type I drove is a roadster and as a result, cargo space is severely limited.The trunk is shockingly small, but then again, this car is meant to be driven for fun and not for hauling a lot of luggage. Features The F-Type is not a cheap car, but when taken into consideration with all its features, it’s quite reasonable. Pricing starts at $76,900 for the base model, 88,900 for the S and $100,900 for the V8 S. Pricing for the R has not been released. Standard equipment includes 8-inch colour touchscreen display, Bluetooth, Intelligent Start/ Stop, keyless start, and rain sensing windshield wipers. Additional features, available as options or on higher trims, include panoramic glass roof (coupe models only), heated windshield, heated steering wheel, heated seats, dualzone climate control, keyless entry, reverse traffic sensor, blind spot monitor, rearview camera. Fuel efficiency numbers (litres/100 kilometres) for the base model V-6 are 10.4 city, 7.1 highway, for 8.9 combined.

Thumbs up Few cars have been as eagerly anticipated as the F-Type.Thankfully, its blend of classic styling and modern performance and features make it worth the wait.The sound of the exhaust alone is worth the cost.

Also, the lack of cargo space means this car can’t even carry golf clubs. The bottom line The 2014 Jaguar F-Type is the embodiment of what a modern sports roadster should be, and no other car on the market matches its emotional appeal. Competitors Porsche 911 No car on the market today can match the FType’s sense of occasion, but the Porsche 911 comes close.The current 911 is the standard by which all other sports cars are measured. The 911 is available in an impressive 14 models and ranges in price from $96,200 to $221,200. Mercedes-Benz SL-Class The SL-Class is all-new and is lighter, faster and more fuel efﬁcient than the previous model.This results in a sharper drive but focus is still on comfort and the SL is the most comfortable two-seat convertible on the market. This luxury doesn’t come cheap as prices start at $123,400. BMW 6 Series The BMW 6 Series is a large luxury car loaded with high tech features.While its bulk makes long trips for front passengers enjoyable, the limited rear legroom in coupe and convertible models restricts its practicality as a four-seater. The 6 Series comes in three models and ranges from $87,900 to $109,900. editor@automotivepress.com
