B.C. teachers dispute escalates
Government threatens lockout, BCTF warns of disruptions BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
Graduation ceremonies, extracurricular activities, exam marking and final report cards may all be in jeopardy under a teachers
lockout threatened by the province, local unions are cautioning. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association announced Wednesday evening that, starting Monday, teachers would
be barred from doing work more than 45 minutes before the start of class or 45 minutes after the end of the school day, during lunch hours and recesses. Beyond that, the province will be locking out all secondary school teachers on June 25 and 26, and all teachers on June 27. The lockouts come with commensurate reductions
in pay. But limiting teachers’ working hours or barring them from school grounds will make it impossible to have teacher-run events, or do work that requires overtime, said Daniel Storms, president of the North Vancouver Teachers’ Association. “Teachers are working their butts off all day long,
before school, at school and at night taking their work home with them. For extracurricular, that’s all off the clock. I don’t know how you do it when you’re not allowed to do things off the clock,” he said. “I don’t think the interests of students are being served by this whatsoever . . . I don’t know what they’re going to be telling parents of Grade
12 students who are going to be graduating and they don’t get a report card they may need for university entrance.” The lockouts come in response to teachers announcing earlier this week they would be staging oneday rotating strikes, which will affect North Vancouver See Strike page 11

Experience it to believe it. The transformation is complete.
A mysterious underwater disease that has caused a massive die-off of sunflower sea stars in the waters of Howe Sound appears to be taking hold in another starfish species — the common purple or ochre starfish found in most local tide pools. The news is disconcerting for scientists who have studied the starfish “wasting syndrome,” which appears to be caused by some kind of waterborne virus or bacteria. “We thought it had stopped,” said Jessica Schultz, a research co-ordinator for the Howe Sound Research and Conservation Group at the Vancouver Aquarium. But in the last few weeks, divers have been seeing sick starfish again, she said. Divers at Whytecliff Park first reported the problem to aquarium scientists last See Sea page 3 Park Shore BMW

Sea stars lose limbs, turn to goo From page 1 fall, when they noticed large populations of previously healthy starfish seeming to liquefy on the spot.The die-off spread quickly, with thousands of the multiarmed sea stars disappearing from waters off Bowen, Hutt and Popham islands. The phenomenon has been tracked in pockets up and down the West Coast, as far south as California. The wasting syndrome causes a particularly swift and nasty death for the sea stars, in which their limbs fall off, their body wall ruptures and their organs drift out into the ocean. The process has been happening so quickly that it has been difficult for researchers to get samples — by the time a starfish in trouble has been spotted, it has frequently turned to goo.
`369V_ 54065 VYW_ 4[_5_ YT j;1_ G;3T* 06_ 53^^_6YT] ^6;U 5_0 5406 1054YT] *Y5_05_% `jbFb GE``fi:< VANCOUVER AQUARIUM Adult sunflower sea stars in the affected areas of Howe Sound have already died, said Schultz. But baby starfish of the species seem to be surviving. “So that’s good news for them,” she said. But purple sea stars in areas of Howe Sound — such as near Boyer Island
— are now succumbing to the syndrome in larger numbers. Researchers are still waiting for official word on a cause of the wasting syndrome. “It looks like it’s probably a virus,” said Schultz. One theory is that warmer-than-usual ocean temperatures may have
played a role in its spread. So far, the syndrome appears to only be affecting sea stars. “There’s not many things that eat sea stars except other sea stars,” said Schultz. But even that can change the ecological balance in the area. Green sea urchins, a common prey of sea stars, can now be found in especially large numbers, said Schultz — likely because of a lack of predators. If the syndrome continues, “we might see other ecological shifts as well,” she said. Both sunflower and ochre sea stars are considered dominant species in their ecosystems. Researchers at the aquarium are still interested in information divers can provide on local starfish populations, said Schultz — whether they’re spotting healthy or sick ones.
An 80-year-old hiker injured in the backcountry is convalescing, thanks to his use of satellite technology. Members of North Shore Rescue, North Vancouver RCMP and District of North Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services all responded to a sparsely travelled portion of lower Mount Seymour Tuesday afternoon, after RCMP received a notification from an American call centre that a Spot Satellite emergency locator beacon had activated in the bush. NSR members used the GPS device to pinpoint the location about 200 metres off Mount Seymour Road near the Baden Powell Trail crossing. “What they found there was an 80-year-old hiker who had injured his ankle and deployed the beacon when he couldn’t get out on his own,” said Doug Pope, North Shore Rescue search manager. NSR volunteers and police members carried the man out to the road via stretcher where ambulance paramedics were waiting. Typically, North Shore Rescue members find themselves responding to subjects who have gotten lost or injured in the backcountry after making some amateur mistakes.That’s not the case with the octogenarian geocacher from Burnaby, Pope said. “It’s hard for any member of North Shore rescue to really criticize this guy. He was doing what we all aspire to do when we retire — continue to tromp around in the North Shore forest,” Pope said. “He was very well prepared. Ideally, you should travel with a friend, but he was well equipped with his satellite emergency beacon.” With cellular reception spotty in many areas of the backcountry, Pope said anyone who ventures past the treeline should consider getting a GPS beacon, and not relying on their smartphone alone. “I carry one myself. They’re becoming a lot more prevalent for backcountry users, especially in areas where there isn’t cell reception. It’s a good way to both check in with your friends and family that you’re OK or you can send an SOS,” he said.

carpentry program and an automotive program, for example. “So there are a number of students there with an academic interest in trades training,” she said. In a B.C.Teachers’ Federation press release sent out late last month, BCTF president Jim Iker said he was concerned that, in the provincial government’s rush to maximize potential profits from LNG it may be limiting educational opportunities for the upcoming generation of students. “We believe that all students, no matter where they live, should have access
to the full range of academic courses as well as applied skills, including trades training,” said Iker. “When I look back on the range of options in arts, sciences, and technical programs that students used to have, it’s a sharp contrast to today.We need to build those choices again for our students.” Cameron said that trades training for students should be done in a technical manner, not towards a particular effort, such as LNG. “Our kids need to be global citizens and they need to get information on what’s going on everywhere,” she said.

his week, 49 Democratic members of the U.S. Senate sent a letter to the National Football League, urging it to find a new name for the Washington Redskins. No need to check your calendar. It is actually 2014 and we are actually discussing a professional sports team called the Redskins. The team’s owner defends the name on the grounds that it is part of the team’s tradition.The NFL continues to shamefully sit on its hands because the name is intended to “present a strong, positive and respectful image.” Never mind that the Redskins’ first owner, George Preston Marshall, was an unapologetic racist who led the charge to keep black players out of the NFL. Never mind that the term redskin was never meant to be anything but a slur to dehumanize and put down a group

already the target of institutional racism, forced migration and genocide.That isn’t a tradition or intent worth preserving. Critics will point out that many pro and amateur sports teams have names borrowed from First Nations — Chiefs, Indians, Eskimos, Braves, Blackhawks and others. Should they too change their names as the winds of “political correctness” blow?Yes. Opposing the supposed tyranny of political correctness is largely the rallying cry of racists who sulk that their oldworld, ignorant views about race are no longer accepted. All of these names have the effect of taking a people and reducing them to a caricature for the purpose of entertainment without a degree of respect for those affected. Racial slurs belong in the dustbin of history, not on sports jerseys.

CNV could use more buildings to admire Dear Editor: City council and staff fully deserve congratulations for the award-winning city hall — it is a gem and as your article (City Hall Nabs Design Kudos, May 2) notes will be enjoyed by the community for generations to come. This got me to wondering why so many of the other
new buildings in North Vancouver are such bland architectural efforts since our council and staff clearly know good design when they see it. Most of us believe that we live in a unique place, so it is disappointing to see so many of the few available sites sprouting such underwhelming buildings which will outlive most of us.
The Wallace & McDowell building promises to be a notable exception while the Lonsdale face of the Versatile building and the Blue Shore/ Prescott are also worthy of their sites. Architecture is the most visible art form in a city, and it’s no substitute to place a token bit of public art in front of yet another beige stump.
The reality of most new developments is that streetfront units are mostly only affordable to banks and healthcare-related outlets, which don’t contribute to a vibrant retail scene. I hope that CNV can find some creative ways to address this before Lower Lonsdale is as bland as Marine Drive is becoming.
I suspect much of the opposition to densification would be lessened if we had more buildings to admire and a variety of small shops to visit as we walk around our city. If that means taking a bit more time in the approval process that’s fine with me. William Clark North Vancouver

VIEWPOINT
Lessons from election 2013 stunner This past week marked the one-year anniversary of the B.C. Liberals’ stunning re-election win, and it’s worth revisiting some of the lessons we can take from that historic event. 1. Voter demographics are key. Election outcomes are determined by people who actually vote, not those who respond to polling firms. According to Elections B.C. data, the voting turnout among age groups varies greatly.Those under the age of 35 have a turnout rate of slightly less than 40 per cent, while those aged 55 and older have a turnout rate of 66 per cent (and those over the age of 65 have a turnout rate of almost 75 per cent). The implication of this is crucial for our two main political parties, and greatly explain why the B.C. Liberals proved victorious last May 14th. The NDP’s support is skewed by the disproportionately high support it enjoys by those under the age of 35. Simply put, many of its supporters don’t actually vote,
Keith Baldrey
View from the Ledge while older, B.C. Liberal supporters do cast ballots. And this situation is likely going to worsen for the NDP in the years ahead. Our population is getting older, not younger, and that bodes well for more conservative political parties (older people are generally more conservative than younger folks). 2. Beware of polls. A series of polls by some of Canada’s top pollsters all suggested the NDP had a big lead among voters at the beginning of the election campaign and a smaller edge near the end, but was still poised to take power. However, the pollsters did not sufficiently take into
account the fact many of its younger respondents in their on-line samples didn’t actually intend to vote, thus skewing the results of the polls. It’s unlikely in the next election campaign that media coverage will be driven by pollsters. The polls created a false narrative last year (that the B.C. Liberals were tremendously unpopular and that voters wanted a change in government) that shaped all media coverage, and the media will be much warier next time around. 3. The televised leaders debate matters, and not for reasons you might think. The debate featuring B.C. Liberal leader Christy Clark and NDP leader Adrian Dix (and other leaders) was watched by a record-high audience and most postdebate analysis suggested it was a tie or that Dix somehow enjoyed a slight edge. In fact, later research showed Clark won the debate hands down.While it is true that Dix’s answers to questions were more detailed and specific, the average voter watching was
impacted more by the two leaders’ appearance and presence on television. Clark came across as a positive, likable and competent leader, while Dix looked angry, uncomfortable and shifty. It’s a reminder that the image, more than the content, often counts for more in politics. One need only recall the famous debates between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon.Those listening on radio thought Nixon, the veteran, experienced vice-president who knew volumes about all topics discussed, was the winner. But those watching on television were captivated by the handsome, younger Kennedy. 4. Election campaigns themselves also matter. Clark ran a masterful campaign that had an easily defined message that was constantly communicated. Always mindful to wear a hard hat at an industrial site each day, she talked about jobs and building an LNG industry that
would generate tremendous amounts of money for the government. Dix and the NDP, on the other hand, ran an unfocused, hodgepodge of a campaign that lacked a central theme. It was
almost as if they were mailing it in, thinking they had victory in the bag. A top NDP strategist told me after the campaign that he went back and reviewed See Economy page 10

Donations support Novaco rebuild
Community rallies to fund fire-destroyed childcare centre CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com
After suffering a devastating fire late last year, Novaco Childcare Centre now has the money in place to rebuild thanks to a major fundraising push by the North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce. The chamber’s annual Governors’ Gala on May 15 raised a total of $160,000 in support of two local organizations — North Shore Neighbourhood House, which operates the daycare, and Presentation House Theatre. Of that, $110,000 will be put towards
rebuilding Novaco.The remainder of the estimated $200,000 construction cost will be covered by insurance and other contributions. “I’m really pleased and excited at the response that the community has had to this issue,” says Jim Belsheim, president of Neptune Terminals, which sponsored the gala. “It’s a bit of a magic moment for the North Shore.” Belsheim says that 10 companies — mostly waterfront businesses — donated $5,000 or more each and another 14 companies donated between $1,000 and $3,000 each. Additionally, 125 companies donated items to the silent and live auctions. NSNH executive director Lisa Hubbard says the organization is already in talks with Britco to rebuild Novaco on its same site on Redwood Street.The daycare had been open since
1973 until a suspicious fire in the early morning hours of Dec. 28, 2013 resulted in the total loss of three modular buildings. All the children had to be relocated. “Losing the childcare was devastating, obviously,” Hubbard says, adding, “I was so thankful that no one got hurt and there was no other damage to the neighbours’ homes or the (Norgate elementary) school, so that was something we were very grateful for.” The new facility will maintain the same capacity with space for 25 threeto five-year-olds and 12 preschoolers. Since much of the building fabrication can be done offsite, Hubbard is hopeful work can begin quickly. “I would like to think it could happen within the summer so that we could be open for September.That’s our goal,” she says.

As U.S. political strategist James Carville once famously said: “It’s the economy, stupid.” Forget all the other issues.When most voters (particularly older ones) cast their ballots, they are thinking about their wallets. The B.C. Liberals and Clark talked only about the economy, both before and during the election campaign. The NDP were all over the map, talking about child
poverty, social services, even selling BC Place. And then there was the famous, critical “Kinder surprise” moment when Dix announced his opposition to the Kinder Morgan pipeline, thus mortally wounding his party’s hopes outside the Lower Mainland. The 2013 election was perhaps the most pivotal in B.C.’s history and one year later, it’s still worth taking a closer look at it.The lessons it offers hold the key to who wins in 2017.

Strike hits N. Shore schools Thursday From page 1 and West Vancouver schools on Thursday, May 29. West Vancouver Teachers’ Association president Robert Millard said this has been the most disproportionate government response he’s seen in 26 years of teaching. “The reality is we’ve only been on that job action for 20 days and the government just seems to be determined to escalate this.Twenty days of a very low-profile job action and they’ve come out swinging with a sledge hammer,” he said. While both sides in the dispute maintain they hope a negotiated settlement can be reached, avoiding the need for a strike or lockout, they appear to be miles apart in the bargaining room. The government’s chief negotiator Peter Cameron held a press conference late Thursday to say the teachers had failed to come up with any reasonable offers.Though they disagree greatly on the numbers, the province says teachers are asking for $630 million in extra wages and benefits plus limits on class size and composition that would amount to $2 billion in extra costs per year.

PAULINE JOHNSON: — Margaret Atwood, OC, a prolific poet, novelist, literary critic, feminist and activist has set her story in 1913’s Vancouver, where Pauline Johnson spent the latter part of her life. Speaking to JessicaWerb of the Georgia Straight, Atwood said Johnson “went all over the country, and indeed many places in the world, where neither Canadians nor women had gone before. She was pretty adventurous. I’ve known about her since 1948, because she was in the school reader. And then somewhere along the way she got dropped out of the school reader .… In 1982, I was editing The (New) Oxford Book of CanadianVerse, and I put her back in.” More online at nsnews.com/ entertainment twitter.com/NSNPulse

Margaret Atwood’s Pauline premieres at theYork Theatre

■ Pauline. A New Opera by Margaret Atwood and Tobin Stokes. City Opera presents world premiere at theYorkTheatre May 23 – May 31. For more information visit cityoperavancouver.com. ANNE WATSON awatson@nsnews.com
Composing the music for Vancouver City Opera’s latest work, Pauline, landed Tobin Stokes in a bit of a competition. “I got a phone call from City OperaVancouver wondering if I’d like to write a piece of music to a little bit of text and so did a few other composers, from what I gather,” says Stokes. “So they had a little bit of a contest going on and they had a

private jury that listened to them all without knowing whose was whose and I guess I won. (It was) the first time I’ve ever done something like that. It was actually quite fun.” The text from which the composers had to create was written by one of Canada’s most famous writers, Margaret Atwood. Stokes is humble as he speaks about Atwood on the phone from Victoria. “It was great. She’s very generous, very gracious.We had a lot of fun too,” he says. “She likes to talk about sci-fi things, a lot. She has her dry wit and so many years of experience storytelling, a lot of wisdom in how to tell a story.” Stokes says he initially read the text and tried to ●
understand where it was coming from and where it was going. “In the libretto, the idea of the music is to help tell the story or be another element of the story,” he says. “So it’s important to understand the story and the characters and to really be in tune with the characters’ evolution from the beginning of the story to the end and support that musically and drive it using music to show emotion or propel a scene.” Pauline is based on the life of Pauline Johnson, a Canadian poet of Mohawk and English descent. Johnson was born in 1861 in what was then Upper Canada and died inVancouver in 1913. Her poetry portrayed the lives of Aboriginal women and children. Stokes says

●
working with a story based on a historical icon changed the way he approached the composition. “It’s important to illustrate what she represents I think, as such a pioneer in such an artist like her,” he says. “It’s great that it’s actually a true story, it adds a real dimension, the historical element adds a dimension, and it’s been fun to research Pauline and get to know her, to get to know the challenges of what it was like to zigzag back and forth the country in trains. Going to big and small, very small communities to recite her poetry.” The opera has been in the works for more than two years, since Stokes got the initial call. He says he was handed a complete but
rough version of the libretto, or text of the opera, and the collaborating began. Both Atwood and Stokes worked with the opera company, trying different things and then took it to workshop. “After I’d written one act of it, it’s a two-act opera, I was given a chance to try that with some singers and go away and make changes and come back and try out the new material,” says Stokes. They also had a workshop for act two, he says, and a bit of a run through before Christmas to see how it was all coming together. “That’s pretty normal for new opera, you get to try stuff out, and some of the material works and some of it doesn’t so you rewrite, See Pauline page 30

Two nations under one thumb No borders, lots of checkpoints in the USNA ■ USNA at theVancouver Comic Arts Festival,The Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre, May 23-25. JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com
The schoolchildren rise and pledge allegiance to the United States of North America. “. . . and the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God . . .” Like a temporary tattoo with a stubborn streak, the border between Canada and the United States left a few traces when it disappeared. From Victoria, B.C. to Venice, Florida, Americans and Canadians constitute a single citizenry toiling under the electronic eye of one government. But there are still those maple syrup socialists who call themselves Canadians, and they’re ready to rebel. That’s the premise of USNA, a graphic novel that feels more like alternate history than science fiction. With a few strokes of the keyboard, the trio of authors behind the black and white comic book did what the Liberals and NDP only dreamed of: they ended Stephen Harper’s reign as prime minister. Instead of MPs and MLAs, former Canadians are at the mercy of a series of checkpoints that dot the highways of the Orwellian wasteland. The dystopian future was the vision of author Davy Longworth, who imagined armored vehicles, combines, threshers and

He spoke with co-author Allan Stanleigh and the two screenwriters realized they were describing a “heartland revolution.” “We thought, ‘Well, if the two countries were at odds, or if the ideologies were at odds . . . and it just kind of grew out of that,” Longworth explains. The duo turned the story about an insurrection of glowing hearts into a long screenplay, a “great Canadian adventure.” But pushing the
screenplay into production proved problematic. It was too epic for Canada and too unflattering for the United States, Longworth explains. “The Canadians thought it was a good adventure story, but they just didn’t have the budget for something that size,” Longworth explains. “The American producers, they saw the United States being the bad guy . . . so they weren’t really reading it.” The screenplay languished until the writers
noticed comics like Sin City and V ForVendetta making the transition to the silver screen. When it came time to revisit their screenplay, the duo became a trio as Harry Kalensky, the original bass player for Trooper, added his creativity to the mix. Turning their story into a graphic novel was “a great way to go in the back door of the film industry,” Longworth says. Asked about disputes with his fellow writers, Longworth demurs.
“We were grown-ups when we met so we’re able to let stuff go, and it’s all imaginary anyway,” he explains. “We are a benevolent majority democracy.” The story details two nations that ostensibly amalgamated to compete with economic unions in Europe and Asia. However, the military controls more than 50 per cent of the USNA’s economy, giving them more power than the business and political leaders with whom they’re
meant to share authority. As a child, Longworth says he was always aware of Canada’s neighbour to the south. “On their best days, you always sort of thought, ‘Well, why can’t we just be part of the States and then we can all buy cheap Levis.’ And then in the bad times, it was like, ‘Man, am I glad we live in Canada,’” he says. While we might wear the same jeans and drive General Motors products, Longworth recalls feeling it was important to define what distinguishes the two countries. Those distinctions, as well as the difference between being a terrorist and a nationalist, feature strongly in the book. The book’s bright lights and deep shadows are supplied by Dave Casey, who was going to art school in NewYork while completing work on USNA. Casey found his voice while working on the story, according to Longworth. Longworth was originally hoping to create something the Canadian film industry would produce. While that’s by no means a sure thing, there has been some interest in seeing USNA become a movie, according to Longworth. And like all action movies, the sequel is already being written.

Series takes history of art to a new level TERRY PETERS tpeters@nsnews.com
■ This isWarhol by Catherine Ingram Illustrations by Andrew Rae, Laurence King Publishing, 80 pages, $18.95. ■ This is Dali by Catherine Ingram Illustrations by Andrew Rae, Laurence King Publishing, 80 pages, $18.95. ■ This is Pollock by Catherine Ingram Illustrations by Peter Arkle, Laurence King Publishing, 80 pages, $18.95. Art history can be very enlightening when presented properly and when done poorly it can be incredibly dull. Catherine Ingram has taken the concept of artist profiles and turned it upside down to create something brand new. Three recent books look at the lives of some of the
most influential artists of modern times. Salvador Dali, Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol are presented through a collaboration between the words and illustrations to provide a new level of interest in their careers. Ingram looks at the significant events in the artists’ lives and the influences on them. She includes their close friends and the roles they played as well as the major supporters of their art. The illustrations add an air of graphic novels to these books and bring a contemporary feel to the presentation. Interspersed throughout each one are photographs of the artists and their paintings, showing important highlights There are plenty of fascinating details of their careers, such as Pollock’s 1947 decision to paint the canvass on the floor, or Warhol’s 1962 painting of a Campbell soup can that became a pop culture icon and was featured in his first
pop art exhibit. Ingram has managed to include a significant amount of information in a limited space and to do it an incredibly entertaining fashion.We can only hope that she will apply this approach to even more artists in the future.

FILM
Fading Gigolo a bit of an enigma ■ Fading Gigolo.Written, directed and starring John Turturro. Rating 8 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD ContributingWriter
With the multiplex crammed full of monsters and action heroes at present, it comes as a bit of a relief to see a touching little sex comedy tiptoe into theatres. A touching sex comedy? Well, yes. JohnTurturro wrote and directed the film, in which he just happens to star as man with remarkable gifts in the bedroom.The affecting aspect of the tale comes not from his threeway with SofiaVergara and Sharon Stone, but in his romantic friendship with a Hasidic Jewish character played byVanessa Paradis. Paradis, little known on this side of the water for being anything other than the mother of Johnny Depp’s children, plays Avigal, a lonely widow with SeeWoody page 21

Dave Alvin and Phil Alvin with The Guilty Ones June 23 @ 8 pm
Former Blasters leaders aka the Alvin brothers reunite after 30 years.
Woody Allen at his comic best in film From page 19 six children, trapped in the confines of her all-seeing Jewish community.There’s even a neighbourhood police force. “Sometimes we go beyond,” is the vague and somewhat threatening description by patrol member Dovi (Liev Schreiber). Fioravante’s decision to become a gigolo late in life is financially motivated, as always, and suggested by his friend Murray (Woody Allen), a bookstore owner specializing in rare books, about to lose his shop. It’s Murray who sings Fioravante’s praises to a
frisky dermatologist (a sensational-looking Sharon Stone), thus starting a new venture into the world’s oldest profession. He adopts “Bongo” as his pimp name — and christens his pal “Virgil” — and they’re off. “Virgil” wins rave reviews from the dermatologist (“You’re top shelf,” she says post-coitus, “you’re hard to reach”) who soon shares the love with her girlfriend (Vergara). Pictures of the pair in come-hither lingerie are already all over the internet though the actual sex scenes are absent, which only adds to the mystery of what makes Fioravante so potent. He’s a bit of an enigma
SAVE THE DATE!
in general, this florist who agrees to sell himself for cash. He only starts to come alive when Murray introduces him to Avigal.The relationship begins with one touch of a massage, too much for a woman who hasn’t been touched in years. A kosher dinner follows, where the filleting of a fish was never so sexy. Avigal doesn’t know his true profession, of course. “This is what you do: you bring magic to the lonely.” Avigal’s sudden trips out of the neighbourhood raise the curiosity of the neighbourhood watch and of Dovi, who has a crush. Murray is implicated and thrown into a car for
questioning by a bearded Hasidic tribunal. “I think you’ve got the wrong guy, I’ve already been circumcised,” he protests. The film is outrageous, of course, and happy to meander through the streets of NewYork City. Full of pithy advice (“If the blinds are drawn, you’ve got to pull the shades up”) and themes of loneliness and redemption, Fading Gigolo also succeeds because of the comedy of Allen (who reportedly had heavy input into the finished product), the fragility of Avigal, courtesy of Paradis, andTurturro’s performance, spare, but affecting nonetheless.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to FASHION & STYLE
Bag-shoe combos galore
Dear Mattie: Should my shoes and handbag match this season? Trendy in Lonsdale Dear Trendy: Yes, no and maybe, is the best answer that I can come up with.Yes, if you are going for a sleek and minimalist look. No, if you are experimenting with the prints and colour block trends. Maybe, if you are into pastel colours and metallic textures. Whether or not your handbag and shoes match depends on what look you are going for. Handbags and shoes are very exciting this season. There are many trends that can be mixed and matched. Overall, shoes and handbags make a statement. I love all the handbags that are in fashion this season. There is a bag for every occasion. I am going to break handbags down into three categories: dressy, professional and casual. The trends to look out for are colours and prints, structured shapes, and detailing. The detailing includes hardware that is relevant to the size of the bag. Tassels are still in fashion. For a professional look I am suggesting shoulder bags, cross-body bags and a carry-all work tote. All sizes of bags are in fashion, so why not have one bag that can serve all your needs? There is nothing less professional than a lady fumbling through different bags to find a pen. This professional bag does not have to be boring. Bold colours such as red, orange, green or blue will match any business suit. For dressy, I would consider classic, structured shapes. Either clutches or satchels will do nicely, as long as they are small to medium. Evening bags are decorative and may feature
quilting, painted designs, appliques with flowers or jewels and metallic textures. For casual, I will be enjoying the bucket bag and the backpack. They are back in fashion and they are great. They can be as big or small as you like and as trendy as you dare. These two bags are the only bags that can have an exaggerated amount of detailing, especially hardware. There is more variety with handbags than with shoes this season. Shoes don’t fall into categories as the handbag does. The new shoe styles can be worn any way you like. The interesting thing about this spring is that sandals are not the trendy shoe. If you’re into sandals, then metallic is the way to go. Booties are the trendy spring shoe. They have a peep toe. They are a mesh or consist of many thin or a few thick straps of leather. They have a sling back strap and they cover most of the foot, but not all. Flats, chunky soles or wedges will all work as the heel is not the statement this season. Bejewelled flats are very trendy this season, especially in darker bold colours. This shoe is feminine, but not dainty. It is a solid flat that sparkles and shines. Kitten heels with ankle straps and sling backs are a more professional shoe as they look nice with a business suit. This shoe is pointy and may have a metal cap toe. Scuffed-up shoes and stuffing things in your pockets is not in fashion. It is in fashion to make an effort and try something new.

Wicked’s Madame Morrible not all bad
Kathy Fitzgerald finds human side of her ‘evil’ character in the touring production of musical ■ Broadway Across Canada presents Wicked, May 28 to June 29 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, 630 Hamilton St.,Vancouver.Tickets start at $35, available at ticketmaster.ca. CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com
The name Madame Morrible is about as subtle as a Kansas tornado. “It rhymes with horrible for a reason,” says Kathy Fitzgerald, who plays the nasty character in the touring production ofWicked. “She’s just awful.” Based on the 1995 Gregory Maguire novel Wicked:The Life andTimes of theWickedWitch of theWest, theTony Award-winning musical adaptation — which flies throughVancouver May 28 to June 29 — is the untold story of the witches
of Oz. Long before Dorothy and her dogToto are blown into the famous fantasyland, two other young women meet at Shiz University. Green-skinned social outcast Elphaba becomes unlikely friends with her popular, blonde roommate Glinda. Respectively, the two students grow up to become theWickedWitch of theWest and Glinda the Good, their divergent paths in life heavily influenced by their headmistress Madame Morrible. “Basically she’s the nemesis to the two witches. She’s the bad guy, she’s the antagonist of the piece,” says Fitzgerald, who played the part for a year and a half on Broadway before joining the touring show. Madame Morrible immediately recognizes Elphaba’s natural magical See Musical page 28

abilities and, believing these talents will be of use to theWizard of Oz, she manipulates the young witch to help advance her own career. But her cruel intentions are not revealed right away. “In the beginning you think she’s just a sweet schoolmarm, you know, and she’s not going to cause any havoc,” Fitzgerald says. “You don’t really know at the top of the show that she’s going to be horrible.You think, ‘Oh, what a nice old lady,’ and it’s kind of fun to do that twist and to go to that dark place.” While performing Madame Morrible’s dastardly deeds, Fitzgerald dons some of the most elaborate costumes in the production. Her Elizabethanstyle gowns are corseted, ruffled, beaded and very heavily — so heavy, in fact, that she has to do regular maintenance on her back. A seasoned stage actress, Fitzgerald usually takes on comic roles, so playing the villain has been a fun change with some unique challenges. “Even though these are completely made-up people, you have to find the humanness and some comedy in them so they’re not just one-dimensional, because nobody’s just all bad or all good.” While she insists she’s actually very nice in real life, Fitzgerald admits she has grown rather fond of the particularly evil scene in
which her character conjures up the storm that brings Dorothy to the Land of Oz. “You feel like it’s really a storm because the sound effects these day are so good. So that’s kind of exciting, I really like that moment, it’s really evil and really powerful.” Though Wicked’s cast of characters and plot are based on Maguire’s novel, Fitzgerald says the musical is “a different beast completely.” “The book is more sexual, frankly, and more political,” she explains. “If you put the book to music, it would be too dark.” The socio-political undertones are still present in the musical, but have been dialed down, making the show appropriate for a wider audience. “You can take a whole family and everyone can enjoy it for different reasons,” Fitzgerald says, explaining it’s smart enough for grown-ups to appreciate, while the visual spectacle and friendship storyline will appeal to youth. She’s not surprised that the blockbuster show continues to fill theatres more than a decade after its 2003 premiere in NewYork. “Everything works together, you know, the story’s interesting, the music’s exceptional and it’s epic to look at,” Fitzgerald says. “Some plays work and some don’t and I’ve been in flops and I’ve been in hits and this one’s definitely a hit.”

rewrite, rewrite,” says Stokes. The two-act opera includes eight singers and a seven-piece orchestra. Stokes says the rehearsals got underway a couple of weeks ago, but rehearsals for some of the workshops were more than a year ago. “The singers have been rehearsing long before that and already know the material, they already have it memorized so by the time they get into staging rehearsals they’re not using their music anymore,” he says. “The tricky part is when I keep rewriting melodies and they have to relearn things as it evolved. It was a lot of work for the singers.” Stokes has composed music for a variety of genres, including film, television, theatre and opera, to name a few. He was born in North Vancouver but grew up in Powell River and studied percussion in university. While at school, he started getting ideas for choir pieces and tried his hand at composing. “The choir in Powell River was very supportive and I would just send everything and they would try everything that I wrote,” he says. “And I just fell in love with writing choir e06]06_4 ?41;;* 0T* ,;U9;5_6 F;.YT G4;W_5 ]; ;2_6 5;U_ T;4_5 04 0 1;6W5[;9 5_55Y;T ^;6 1?!A"<)% `jbFbG GE``fi:< MICHELLE DOHERTY PHOTOGRAPHY music.” Stokes was writing jazz music and improvising at the time. “By the time I graduated from university I’d already done a television series,” he says. “This television producer had found me while I was dabbling in some of the first computers that were used for music at the university, just as a side thing.” All those things came together and when he graduated as a percussionist he started playing in a symphony. “I just thought I would be more satisfied in life if I was actually writing music instead of playing it, so I just set my goal to do that and lo and behold after many years it came to pass.” Stokes says there are hundreds of performing companies and individuals he would love to work with, including the Canadian Opera Company. He says there has been a change in opera over the years “I’ve seen the big companies, these huge companies that usually do the same 30 pieces over and over, the Figaros, major Mozart and the Verdi pieces, all these famous operas.

The Boom Booms tap into an R&B vibe Band performing free concert at LynnValley Days on May 31 ■ The Boom Booms perform Saturday, May 31 from 5 to 8 p.m., under the big tent in Lynn Valley Park, part of Lynn Valley Days. Free, donations supporting the North Shore Disability Resource Centre. For more information visit lynnvalleyday.ca. ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com
On their forthcoming album, The Boom Booms are making a triumphant return to the soul and R&B sounds of their youth. Known for their world-music leanings, the Vancouver-based six-piece band most definitely plans to stay true to what’s earned them a strong international fanbase; however members looked a little closer to home for inspiration this
time around. “It’s definitely an evolution,” says Aaron Ross, lead vocalist, of their upcoming record, Love is Overdue. “When you listen to our first full-length album, Hot Rum, that’s an album that we wrote when we were driving through Central America. So you can hear those Latin and reggae influences. And then now, we haven’t been travelling through Latin America for the past little bit and everybody’s just been digging a lot of the soul and R&B music that we grew up on, so the sound is more in that direction.” “World music experimentation, I think, that’s always going to be in our sound just because we spent so much time doing that, so there’s that kind of feel. Even the spirit that we See Love page 34

Love is Overdue due out in summer
From page 33
bring to the show comes from Latin music energy in a way. But musically it’s much more soul R&B,” he adds. Helping shape The Boom Booms’ new direction is GrammyAward winning producer Chin Injeti, whom they met through Vancouver’s music community. Injeti, co-founder of Bass Is Base, has worked with countless
big-name artists; Gwen Stefani, Eminem, P!nk, Pitbull, Drake, 50 Cent and Dr. Dre to name a few. Typically Ross serves as The Boom Booms’ main writer, coming up with lyrics, melodies and chords, and then taking them to band, and working on arrangements together. On this project, Ross collaborated with Injeti first. “It’s been an evolving process but we’re really stoked to be done
recording,” says Ross. The album is currently being mixed in Los Angeles and they’re aiming for a summer release. When asked about lyrical content, Ross says the tracks on Love is Overdue vary in what they’re about, however the general sentiment is similar to that of gospel music. “We’re not singing about God, but it’s almost got that same community, uplifting vibe that I think that you get

As recommended by Dr. GiffordJones M. D. Helps to reduce the time it takes to fall a sleep. In most cases also stops snoring and gasping for air (sleep apnea) first night. Stops torturing your partner all night. Good sleep prevents being tired next day. Tired people work only at half capacity. What people truly experience: ! I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, #23 NPN 80045172 Hudson, NH ! Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS ! For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS !It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. Try your local health food stores first.

in light of where his musical journey has taken him. Ross became more serious about music near the end of high school, starting to write songs again. He spent a few years travelling and tree planting and eventually got a laptop and recorded a demo of 12 songs that he distributed to friends. “It travelled around to different people and I found myself in Asia with an email saying, ‘Hey do you want to come back to Vancouver and record a proper professional funded album?’ And I said ‘Yeah that sounds great.’That was kind of the beginning of that journey. Each member joined one at a time and so we became the six Boom Booms,” he says. Ross and fellow members, Sean Ross,Theo Vincent and Geordie Hart grew up together in East Vancouver, all students at Hastings elementary.They met Tom Van Deursen and Richard Brinkman at a tree planting camp in Merritt and the band was officially launched in 2008. These days,The Boom Booms are working hard rehearsing, and putting together their new live show, ensuring their songs come to life on stage and on arranging a set that takes
the audience on a journey from the first song to the last song, says Ross. The band is set to perform in Lynn Valley Park as part of Lynn Valley Days, Saturday, May 31, and at the Vancouver Jazz Fest — Art Gallery Stage, June 21. They’re also gearing up for their East Van Summer Jam, a festival they’re organizing in Vancouver’s Strathcona Park, July 5. “What it is, is basically the evolution of the block parties that we’ve been throwing in our alley for the last five years up until 2012,” says Ross. “We started those as soon as we started the band. The first year was probably 50 people, we barbecued some chicken and had some beers. And then, each year it grew until in 2012 we had probably over 1,000 people, six bands, a big stage that we built and we raised $14,000 for charities.” Tickets are $20 and other featured artists include The Rascalz, The Funk Hunters and Injeti’s band,The New Royales. Proceeds will support a number of non-profit organizations, including Saint James Music Academy and Haiti Communitere.
Tanya Tagaq: Animist with a modern twist Canadian album of the week: TanyaTagaq — Animism (Six Shooter Records released May 27). This is not your mama’s throat-singing, far from it. TanyaTagaq, from Cambridge Bay (Ikaluktuutiak), Nunavut, on the south coast ofVictoria Island, has travelled the world honing her traditional F0Tc0 F0]07#5 7<">"%> ;34 vocal skills and adding new e0c lO ;T GY/ G[;;4_6% twists along the way. She’s collaborated with both Björk and the Kronos Quartet on projects over the past decade giving their music traditional cred while extending the reach of her own soundscapes. Animism includesTagaq’s wonderful, otherworldly throatsinging in the mix but within contexts that also feature Western classical music and electronica. A very successful blend of old and new ideas. Beautifully done. — John Goodman New and noteworthy releases: May 27: SharonVan Etten — AreWeThere. June 3: Echo & the Bunnymen — Meteorites. June 10: Chrissy Hynde — Stockholm.

Charlotte Kemp Muhl
JOHN GOODMAN jgoodman@nsnews.com
The old cliché “what happens on the road stays on the road” has little meaning for Charlotte Kemp Muhl. She’s been on the road for much of her life. Early on as a model (working for the likes of Tommy Hilfiger, D&G and Maybelline) and more recently as the member of a rock’n’roll band, Goastt (The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger) with her boyfriend Sean Lennon. The road can be something you use to get from Point A to Point B but it’s also the seamless inbetween where everything happens. Kemp Muhl spoke to the North Shore News from a way-station in Tucson as the band were preparing to make their way north on I-10 to their next gig in Phoenix. North Shore News: You’ve been modelling since you were a teenager — when did music become a focus for you? Charlotte Kemp Muhl: I’ve been doing music since I was very young. My dad gave me a Martin acoustic guitar when I was 12 or 13 and I immediately started writing tons of songs. I was modelling at the time and I was alone a lot.The Martin guitar was my travel companion and I would just write songs in hotels around the world but I never thought it would be a serious profession until I met Sean. Almost a year into our relationship he finally convinced me to play him one of my songs and he really loved the lyrics and the melody. He said we have to write songs together and that day we wrote our first song called “The World Was Made For Men.” It was kind of a joke, our band at first, I mean the name and everything is like a joke, but it slowly became the centre

North Shore News: When you were starting out in music who inspired you? Charlotte Kemp Muhl: In the beginning I was mostly inspired by classical musicians: Mussorgsky, Grieg, Liszt, Satie — but now I’m really in a psychedelic phase these days. I sort of had my cliched collegiate awakening listening to Pink Floyd and smoking marijuana for the first time.There’s no going back now — I’ve been heavily into Syd Barrett and King Crimson and a lot of prog and psychedelia. Now I’m leaving my psychedelic ’60s phase and entering a glam-rock early ’70s phase. So it’s going in waves. Right now I’m super into T. Rex and Bowie. I think the next record I do I want to do a glam record. North Shore News: When you first met Sean did you have any common ground musically? Charlotte Kemp Muhl: The common ground is on the first record we did which was Acoustic Sessions — at the time I was still a very acoustic-minded folk nerd listening to records like The Madcap Laughs and dorky stuff like Simon & Garfunkel — and Dylan of course.That was our
common ground at the time because I had not been exposed to a lot of pop or rock or funk or anything. Our common ground was folk music so we made a folk record. Over the course of making that folk record and touring it that’s when I got into psychedelic rock and then we just wanted to rock out but we were stuck touring this acoustic record. North Shore News: The songs on your new album are strikingly different from the earlier stuff. I’ve heard that you consider some of your earlier records more like demos whereas Midnight Sun is a full-blown production. Charlotte Kemp Muhl: Oh yeah, well, La Carotte Bleue, for example, was never meant to be officially released.That was just a bunch of demos we scrounged together in time for a French tour where we needed something to sell. And the Acoustic Sessions were basically demos as well.We recorded them incredibly quickly in a couple of days up at our farm very casually. Midnight Sun we consider our first real record, it’s the one we spent the most time on.We brought in Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, MGMT) to mix it and that made a huge difference. Everything else
we did ourselves. North Shore News: Where did you record the new tracks? Charlotte Kemp Muhl: On our farm.We do everything on our farm. I’ve been to a lot of studios over the last eight years and the greatest studio I’ve ever been to is the one upstate on Sean andYoko’s farm. We have a collection of instruments that the two of us have been collecting for years and it makes it like this magical sandbox of toys and weird s#@t we can get inspired by. And we’re finally getting a board so once we have a board we’ll never need to leave. North Shore News: Who plays what on the tracks? Charlotte Kemp Muhl: We both play pretty much everything ourselves except for a few songs we got our new band members to do overdubs and stuff. For the most part it’s Sean playing a majority of the things and I’m playing the bass tracks when we’re tracking live because sometimes when we do the basic track of a song he’ll do the drums and I’ll play the bass live together. I also play a lot of the keyboards and some electric guitar. North Shore News: How about in a live context do
you stick to one instrument or do you move around a lot? Charlotte Kemp Muhl: Live I play electric bass and he plays electric guitar and sings and then for a couple of songs I play Hammond organ. And we have a full rock band finally — yea! — we have a keyboard player, a drummer, a second guitarist and then me and Sean. North Shore News: Is this the first time you’ve toured with a full band? Charlotte Kemp Muhl: This is the first time we’ve toured with this band. We tried touring with an electric band a few years ago but that was really old material and none of those band members are still with us. North Shore News: As far as the writing process goes how does that work? Who does what? Charlotte Kemp Muhl: Sean and I write everything together. Sometimes I might write a whole verse by myself and he’ll write a chorus or we’ll sit there and eke out every word and note together but it’s a very intensive democracy. We’re both very opinionated and full of ideas and we’ll sit there and bicker about it forever until finally something comes out that is like a
North Shore News: Do you like to write on guitar, keyboards, do you have a preference? Charlotte Kemp Muhl: I used to like to write on piano but I noticed it was making me write more complicated chord changes just because that’s the nature of that instrument and so lately I’ve been writing on acoustic or electric guitar and trying to stick to more barre chords. The main mission of this record, which took us years to do, was to simplify and try to become more pop and that was the hardest challenge for us. It was really easy for us to do weird bizarre jazz odysseys with like five different sections and different time signatures but the challenge for us was doing something that was pop and that’s what took up so much time and we ended up scrapping a lot of our old songs and writing new ones at the last second. North Shore News: Can you tell me a little bit about your label Chimera Music? Charlotte Kemp Muhl: We started that years ago. When I met Sean he was with EMI and he always had dreams to start his own label but I don’t think he add the motivation. I came along like a second stage mother and was like, ‘Sean you’re so good at everything: you can draw, you can play every instrument, you have radical ideas why don’t you start your own label?’ We did it with his longtime friendYuka Honda from Cibo Matto who was also living with us and we did everything in-house. I don’t think we were prepared for how much work it was going to be.We were literally doing everything ourselves down to the CD packaging, mailing out orders to people, all the album photography and album art, and the website design.We were doing administrative stuff and it ended up taking a lot of our time, stealing time that we would otherwise have been using for creativity. It was an amazing learning curve that forced us to grow up — we were no longer children living in this dream See Band page 37

2014 Chevrolet Impala
Impala makes a leap
Scan this page with the Layar app to see more photos of the Chevrolet Impala and its competitors as well as video of the Dodge Hellcat.
The Impala name has been around since 1956. Over that time, the Impala has become a household name when it comes to an all-American family car. Not only has the Impala been around for a long time, but it has also consistently been one of GM’s topselling vehicles. However, in recent years the majority of those sales have come in the form of fleet vehicles (to be exact: rental cars). Chevrolet seeks to inject some excitement back into the flagship with the
interior room and advanced technologies. Safety was also a top priority.The Impala comes with 10 standard airbags along with a range of available safety features including collision mitigation braking, forward collision alert, and lane departure warning.

the Impala hasn’t started this many conversations since the 1960s.The bold new design clearly has a big emphasis on aerodynamics and flow. The new Impala takes some styling cues from the new Camaro — for example, the influences can be seen in the sharp new grille, the aggressive hood and the creases over the rear wheels. It retains the unique Impala emblem on the Cpillars. Top of the line models

Dodge Hellcat as wild as it sounds A biweekly roundup of automotive news, good, bad and just plain weird: Dodge unleashes the Hellcat Gas is past the $1.50 mark per litre. Emissions concerns and climate change worries rule the headlines. Auto manufacturers everywhere are turning to small displacement engines, electric power, and hybridization. Well, perhaps not everywhere: here’s Dodge with a 600+ horsepower supercharged version of the Challenger. It’s called the Hellcat, and good grief. Essentially built according to the muscle car bible writ in the late 1960s, the Hellcat takes the Challenger’s already potent Hemi 6.2-litre V-8 See Nismo page 49

available with three engines to appeal to a wide array of customers.These include two four-cylinders and a V-6. The entry level Impala comes with a 195 horsepower, 2.5-litre Ecotec four-cylinder engine. Direct injection and variable valve timing are used to increase efficiency. Later this year, there will be a 2.4-litre Ecotec four with eAssist available.This is a mild hybrid system which provides electrical assistance in certain conditions to save fuel — it will be rated at 182 h.p. Then there is the top of the range 3.6-litre V-6 producing 305 h.p. and 264 foot-pounds of torque, which is the highest rated naturally aspirated V-6 in the segment. Upgrading to the V-6 may be a wise choice not only because it is a smoother powertrain, but it’s just a better matched engine for such a large car. No matter which engine you choose, it will be mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.When merging with highway traffic, it shifts quickly and smoothly; transmission is definitely a strong suit of GM products. On the road, the lighter and stronger structure and reworked suspension delivers a more comfortable and quiet ride than in the previous generation. Not
only is the new Impala more composed, but it also shows a surprising amount of agility for a car of this size. The Impala has a good stability control system and strong anti-lock brakes. They combine to inspire confidence in any driving condition, especially the brakes which offer authoritative stops with firm pedal feel. If there is one complaint, it would be the steering feedback.While the electric stability control system does a good job keeping you safe, the overall feel of the steering is somewhat numb. Environment The interior dimensions in the new Impala have grown; this means there is plenty of room for five passengers, plus 18.8 cubic feet of luggage space in the trunk. From the driver seat, all pertinent information is displayed through two modern-looking analog dials and a four-inch changeable screen in the centre. Heated and ventilated seats are available upfront, as well as a heated steering wheel. Opting for the MyLink infotainment system with navigation and rearview camera brings in one of the easiest-to-use systems on the market. Also, the eight-inch See Spacious page 48

Competitors Toyota Avalon The new Toyota Avalon is not the geriatric snoozer it once was. Currently it is styled progressively, very comfortable to ride in, and offers high tech features. However, while trying to lower the average age of its buyers,Toyota may have tuned the suspension too aggressively for the loyal customer. The Avalon is available in two models with the XLE starting at $36,955 and the Limited starting at $39,050. Ford Taurus The Taurus delivers
good ride comfort, a quiet cabin and adept handling. It also boasts considerable performance from its available engines and high tech handling systems. The Taurus’ starting prices range from $28,999 for the SE up to $45,299 for the SHO.
Chrysler 300 The Chrysler 300 is the epitome of an American Car; big, rear-wheel drive with lots of power, comfort and style.The 300 boasts copious amounts of rear seat room, but surprisingly, trunk space is relatively small. The 300 is available in a variety of flavours with the base model starting at $34,595 and the top of the range reaching $49,695. editor@automotivepress.com

Nismo hard at work on various speedy gizmos from 485 h.p. and pumps it past 600 horses, getting the power to the wheels through either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed transmission. It’s worth noting here that the eightspeed is fairly incredible: in the gargantuan SRT Cherokee, with its whacking great V-8 and titanic curb weight, your humble author managed to hit 10.2 litres/100 kilometres on the highway. Not bad. But nobody’s going to commute in a Hellcat except, perhaps, super villains.You get widened 20-inch alloys with sticky Pirelli rubber that’ll soon evaporate into smoke. The Hellcat also has some neat tricks, like boredout headlights with airchannels to help keep that supercharger cooled. No, it’s not very sensitive, and no, it’s probably not going to out-handle the track-focused versions of the Camaro and Mustang. Even so, it’s the kind of machine where you’d be happy to take transit all week, just to get up early and go for a Sunday blast. Nissan updates Nismo 370Z — but you really want their Micra No more power, but updated looks and the availability of a seven speed automatic transmission. That’s the word on the newly released redesign for Nissan’s sportiest version of its Z-car. If you can’t quite stretch to a GT-R, this 350 h.p. coupe now at least gives you most of the looks of Godzilla. Nismo (Nissan Motorsports) has an interesting history of vehicles, most of which never quite made it to our side of the pond. However, Nissan’s been showing off any number of hot compacts at auto shows, and now has Nismo versions of the Juke, the Z, and the GT-R available in Canadian showrooms. What would I most like to see next? The Nismo Micra. There’s precedent here, as Nissan once built a “Superturbo” Micra for rally homologation. Not only that, but they also currently build a Nismo version of their March
sub-compact, which is essentially identical to the Micra. That car, in Nismo’s
format, gets a bump in power to approximately 115 h.p., sport-tuned suspension, and a few
aerodynamic tweaks. In today’s world of stringent speed limits and highpriced fuel, this is the
backroad bumblebee you really want. Considering how well the relaunched Micra is doing critically, a
sport-tuned version would be simply great. See Rare page 50

Million-dollar Mercedes 300SL meets its maker at the Mille Miglia Hmm.That’s maybe a tad too much alliteration. However, there wasn’t a dry eye in the Mercedes fanbase this week as an iconic Gullwing flapped its angelic doors and soared off to join the automotive choir invisible. A number of 300SLs took part in this year’s Mille Miglia, a historic rally that runs through winding rural roads in Italy. Originally banned for being far too dangerous, the Mille is now possibly the premier historic rally in the world. The 300SL, for its part, is possibly the premier historic Mercedes-Benz, apart from racing specials like Stirling Moss’ 300 SLR. It’s simply gorgeous, with those immediately recognizable gullwing doors, and smooth straight-six power. Built starting in the 1950s, it was a high-water mark for classic Mercedes
styling, grand touring smoothness, and extremely rapid pace. Unfortunately for this particular example, the curvy roads of the Mille proved to be host to a speeding BMW 1-Series. Et tu BMW? The wreck of the car will only drive values up, but thankfully no one was seriously hurt. Even with the loss, the important thing here is that the car was out on the road, as it should be, rather than locked away in a museum. It’s also worth noting that the premier 300SL restorer is based in our own province, and perhaps his expertise can still bring this now-rumpled Gullwing back to life. Sir Jack Brabham passes away If renewed interest in Formula One racing of the ‘50s and ‘60s has shown us anything, it’s that the sport was extremely dangerous. It was a crucible of speed, fuel, and flame, and many drivers didn’t survive.

One champion did, however: the Australian John Arthur Brabham. Born just outside Sydney, he cut his teeth in dirt-track racing, giving him a style tending towards lots of sliding and opposite lock. Sir Brabham went on to win three F1 championships, starting his roll with a stunning win at Monaco in 1959. Founding his own team in 1961, he eventually led it to victory in 1966, becoming the first man to clinch a championship in a car he designed. He received a knighthood for services to motor sport in 1978, and continued to drive and race the cars bearing his name in historic events until about a decade ago. He died in Australia this week, at the age of 88.
