Teachers strike as contract talks stall Teachers ﬁght lockout at LRB, parents brace for more strikes

JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

Students in North Shore public schools had an extra day offThursday while teachers walked the picket lines in a steady drizzle. Teachers were joined by unionized school support workers as rotating strikes hit North Vancouver and West Vancouver schools May 29.The scenario will be repeated on Tuesday, June 3, when schools in both districts will be behind picket lines again. Outside Sutherland school, social studies teacher Norm Nichols said, “I’d rather be teaching” than on the picket line. But he said the decision by government to cut 10 per cent of teachers’ wages has angered many educators. Before the rotating strikes began, teachers were not working any less, said Nichols. “The only thing we’ve done is miss a half-hour staff meeting,” he said. The pay cut has prompted some teachers to withdraw from taking part in extracurricular activities. “I had been planning to give a speech at grad,” said Nichols. “I won’t be doing that.” Daniel Storms, president of the North Vancouver Teachers Association, said the pay cut has been an “extreme irritant” to teachers, most of whom got their ﬁrst cheque with the reduced pay this week. “They haven’t actually reduced their work,” he said.

Three years since she was last seen boarding the SeaBus, the family of Angeline Pete is holding out hope someone has information about her whereabouts. Joined by members

of Pete’s family, North Vancouver RCMP held a press conference Thursday morning, renewing a plea for information about the First Nations woman. “It’s been very emotional and stressful. It’s heartache. There are days I can’t even sleep, wondering where she is

was being sought by police for breaching a condition of probation, according to her family. After spending three months trying to track her down through the travelling carnival company she had worked See Too Many page 5

Museum sure of its ‘Pipe’ dream City to shoulder half of $10M cost of museum at Pipe Shop

N. Van contractor on trial for fraud JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

STEFANIA SECCIA Contributing writer

The group in charge of reinventing the North Vancouver Museum and Archives is confident it can raise the necessary cash to open the new museum’s doors in just three years. Last year, the City of North Vancouver gave the go-ahead for a new waterfront location for the museum, which would be located in the Pipe Shop on Lot 4 of the old shipyards site — if the museum’s task force can raise half of the $10 million needed to build and develop a business plan.

A North Vancouver contractor charged with defrauding homeowners by taking their deposits and not completing the work went on trial in B.C. Supreme Court this week. Don Nelsen has pleaded not guilty to three charges of fraud under $5,000. The charges relate to two skylight installation jobs — one in West Vancouver and one in Vancouver — which were never completed. Crown counsel Shelley Hulko said Nelsen took deposits of almost $4,000 for that work but never intended to ﬁnish the jobs. Hulko said outside the court that in both cases, the homeowners repeatedly tried to reach Nelsen, but were given excuses about why he couldn’t complete the work, or were ignored. Nelsen was originally charged with a fourth count of defrauding a North Vancouver homeowner out of about $25,000. Crown elected not to proceed on that charge as there was not a likelihood of conviction. Earlier this week,West Van homeowner Kerry Chutter testiﬁed that after a contract was signed and a deposit paid, four glass panes were delivered to her Horseshoe Bay home, but Nelsen never showed up to work on the repairs. She eventually received a money order returning $2,300 — over 18 months later. Testifying in court in his own defence Wednesday, Nelsen said he originally told Chutter’s contractor, “I was way too busy to take care of anything like that right now.” But Nelsen said the contractor talked See Deposit page 9

Fate of year-end activities remains unclear

From page 1

Board Thursday to argue over whether the pay cut was legal. No decision had been made by press time. Meanwhile, the fate of many extracurricular and year-end activities remains unclear. A North Vancouver district-wide elementary school track-and-ﬁeld meet scheduled for Swangard

Stadium next Tuesday has been cancelled because teachers will be striking that day.The event requires considerable advance planning, making it impossible to reschedule, said school district spokeswoman Victoria Miles. In Lynn Valley, Jessica Stanley, the parent of a Grade 1 student at Ross Road elementary, organized a rally of about 25 parents

supporting teachers outside MLA Jane Thornthwaite’s ofﬁce. Stanley said she thinks most parents support the teachers so far, even though, “I have heard our ﬁeld trips are going to be cancelled.” Some assemblies and special events for Grade 7 students at her school may also be cut, she said. “Yes (teachers) are allowed to volunteer their

time, but they’re getting a pay cut so I don’t expect them to do that,” she said. She said issues like class size are a concern for her. “I don’t know how we can expect teachers to manage the numbers they have in their classrooms.” Martin Stuible, a Grade 5 and 6 teacher at Upper Lynn elementary, who was on the picket line Thursday, said he feels “enough is enough.

“We need to ﬁght for what’s right in the classroom,” he said. Stuible said teachers now have many more special needs students in their classes than they did in the past, without enough support. “It’s way beyond what should be a manageable amount.” He said he thinks most parents understand that. Besides issues of class size

and composition, teachers have asked for a 13.7 per cent wage increase over four years.The government has offered 7.3 per cent over six years. The North Vancouver School District has estimated it would cost $13 million to return class sizes to 2002 levels — before the government stripped those provisions from teachers’ contracts.

Too many missing women: aunt From page 1 with during the summer months, her family reported her missing to police. Since that time, police have followed up on more than 150 tips and done lie-detector tests to rule out false leads but the ﬁle remains a missing person case. Pete’s bank accounts and social media proﬁles have remained dormant since she disappeared, police said. Pete has been particularly missed by her 10-year-old son, said Pete’s grandmother Eileen Nelson. She disappeared just days after celebrating his seventh birthday. “He sent out a text to you earlier, on the Internet. He wanted you to come home for his birthday,” Nelson said. “If someone’s holding her against her will, please allow her to come home. Her son is lost without her and all of us are too,” she added. Pete’s aunt Cary-Lee Calder urged other First Nations to spread the word among their people. The RCMP revealed last month that it has as many as 1,000 unsolved cases of missing or murdered Aboriginal women. “I want to call out all nations chiefs across Canada to please forward this information to your people. We’re a close people, us Indians. Our First Nations people are strong and I’m pleading with anybody to please, please share the word of our niece missing and let’s bring her home. We’ve lost enough aboriginal women,” she said. “Three years is too long. She belongs at home. She belongs to the nation. She belongs to her people and

Barnyard byproduct

core one for the cynics who dismiss politicians as being only self-interested and concerned with clinging to power. In a chain of emails revealed by the Globe and Mail this week, we saw two B.C. Liberal cabinet members making comments that could charitably be described as not befitting their office. Or any public office, for that matter. Pat Pimm and Bill Bennett lamented that they had been unable to successfully lobby the Agricultural Land Commission to redraw agricultural land reserve boundaries so their constituents’ redevelopment proposals can go ahead. Pimm chastised those involved for wasting a chance to “muster up some support for our team” and were instead going to “ignore it and go out and find some way to give the Indians more money which doesn’t get me one vote!”

Pimm’s comments at once capture everything an MLA should not be — encompassing an apparent contempt for First Nations, a complete lack of understanding as to why we have arm’s length agencies to begin with and naked self-interest in how he can wield government power to make sure he’s elected again. Sadly, with the ALC due to be neutered by legislation crafted by Bennett so oil and gas development will receive more flexibility to operate in the ALR, we see that administrative power apparently needs to be placed even further from the reach of politicians. Too often the words uttered behind closed doors or buried in email chains belie the official press releases. If leaks are the only way we get to learn what our politicians really believe, we’ve got some buckets ready to be filled.

Few stories as compelling as a survivor tale The “survivor story” is a staple of the news business. A sure-ﬁre read, or mesmerizing clip on the television news. A shaken mother who survives a still-smouldering house ﬁre — holding the hand of her small daughter, who, thumb in mouth, gravely clutches a doll, while faithful dog Homer, whose barking woke the family in dark of night, wags his tail at mom’s feet and is puzzled and slightly nervous about the praise bestowed on him — that’s a smash segment for the Six O’clock News. Though it’s in tough if it competes for space with the story of a survivor of a bear attack, interviewed from her hospital bed, exhausted, heavily bandaged, just able to speak — but she whispers that she doesn’t blame the bear, a mother and cub that she stumbled on, and says she hopes they weren’t

tracked down and shot. That story is guaranteed to make you look up from the crossword — even from the latest enchanting T. Lautens column. If those items happen to coincide with yet another classic, the surviving pilot yarn.The news hour team will scarcely contain their joy at their abundance of riches — the anchor putting on his Concerned Face that

endears him to an audience who really think they know him as a friend. That would be the story of the survivor whose light plane crashes in deep forest, the wreckage eluding searchers, then staggers out six days later — weak, tattered, dazed, grasping a broken arm that miraculously is his only injury — but alive, mercifully, alive. (Hold on, let’s lighten up:When a plane really did crash on a road in Richmond in 2011, a driver saw it coming and jumped out of his car and into a ditch. Wait, here’s the punch line. CKNW reported: “He said he wasn’t religious but he thanked God he wasn’t killed.”) Yes, there are few stories as compelling as the survivor story, and the media jump all over a good one. But here’s a survivor story that I

can conﬁdently predict the media will jump — to get out of the way of covering. It’s an abortion survival story. And I see the usual suspects are instantly heading for the exits. So sorry to upset their tum-tum. Kindly, I’ll avoid the sickening techniques of abortion that the pro-choice triumphalists strive, with much success, to suppress — not just in the media but notably in those citadels of truth and free expression, the university campuses, where students’ anti-abortion images are savagely shut down, usually backed by trembling administrations. This survivor’s name is Melissa Ohden. She spoke Monday at the Hyatt Regency at a sold-out fundraiser for Signal Hill, a pro-life organization (prochoice, pro-life — I’d use other terms if there were

any). Signal Hill measures the growing sophistication and depth of the movement. Melissa is alive because of bungling. Her abortion went wrong.Weighing two pounds, she was found crying in a pile of … oops, I’ll spare the squeamish of the unpleasant details. That was in 1977. Her teenage birth mother was a university student. Melissa was adopted. At 14 she learned the facts of her birth. Later she formed an abortion survivors network. She tours speaking about her experience. She lived to have a child in the same Sioux City hospital where her abortion failed. She is a beautiful woman. Radiant. Consult the Internet for more. Or check the local media.They’ll cover Melissa’s speech as conscientiously as they cover pro-life marches.Which is not at all.

••• We don’t have much “old” on the North Shore. So treasure the North Shore Light Opera Society, founded in 1948, the oldest continuously performing musical theatre organization in B.C. There’s still time to see the NSLOS’s “21st-century imagining” of Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Gondoliers at Presentation House, closing tomorrow night. The librettist and composer had bitterly quarrelled, sulkily reconciled, and the production was insanely rushed — Sir Arthur Sullivan’s overture and even choosing the title were madly late in the process. Allowing that W.S. Gilbert’s rapid-ﬁre wit, word gymnastics and obscure references are hard to follow, you’ll enjoy the energy, See Light page 10

Lack of trust means more melodrama

The B.C. Liberal government has largely shed the labor relations headaches it helped create when it ﬁrst took power in 2001, with one glaring exception. That would be its tumultuous, antagonistic and befuddling relationship with the union that represents B.C.’s public school teachers. Watching the B.C. Teachers Federation and the government engage in a seemingly never-ending struggle to determine who wields the power in schools and classrooms is akin to viewing a soap opera in which you’re never really sure which character is in charge. In recent years, the government has established an impressive record in negotiating collective agreements with a host of public sector unions, with rarely a peep of unrest and without draining the public treasury as well. Not so its dealings with the BCTF, which have been characterized by strife, suspicion and almost a

Keith Baldrey

View from the Ledge complete lack of success. The fractious relationship is played out in public, with dueling news conferences or protest rallies, and it’s getting rather tiresome. Yet here we go again. The government and the union are on yet another collision course, which will almost certainly end in a way that pleases neither party.The gap between the two sides on so many issues is so vast, it will take a miracle to close it -- and it would involve shifting hundreds of millions of dollars from one side to another. As I write this, the

union is looking for a salary increase of almost 16 per cent (compounded) over four years, while the government is offering over seven per cent over six years. Given that a one per cent pay hike is the equivalent to about $25 million, that’s a gap of about $75 million a year and that doesn’t include an improved beneﬁt package and other improvements the BCTF is looking for. On the important issues of class size and class composition, the union is seeking a return to contract language and stafﬁng levels that were in place in 2002. That would cost about $300 million a year over what is currently spent, while the government is offering to top up its Learning Improvement Fund by $75 million this year.The gap: about $225 million. Add it up and the difference between the two sides’ position is a whopping $300 million, and as I noted, this does not include a raft of other expensive cost items. But deeply embedded in

this dispute (well, actually, the never ending dispute) is something that appears to cripple any chance of a successful, negotiated outcome: a mistrust and a lack of respect of each other. The government poisoned the well when it arbitrarily stripped language governing class sizes from the collective agreement back in 2002 and things have never really got back on track ever since.The union has won two court challenges on this one issue, and the government won’t give up the ﬁght and is appealing the ruling to a higher court (and depending on who wins there, the loser will no doubt try to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada). The BCTF doesn’t exactly have clean hands in this little ongoing drama either. I ﬁnd teachers, for the most part, to be

a passionate, committed bunch (many dip into their own pockets to pay for their students’ needs, including food) but their union is another story. It is an ideologically hidebound organization that doesn’t really ﬁt into a labor relations model, which makes its efforts at collective bargaining feeble and ineffective at times. Unlike other public sector unions, it refuses to take into account the government’s ﬁscal position or ability to pay and exhibits an often maddening sense of entitlement, as if the interests of its membership trumps everything else public tax dollars fund. But it has also proven to be a resilient foe of the B.C. Liberal government, and has tripped it up on more than one occasion. It may not win at the negotiating table very often, but it has posted big

victories in court and at the Labor Relations Board. When both sides won’t trust or respect each other, they make mistakes and misread each other’s moves. That’s been happening in the current breakdown, even though bargaining continues (without much progress being made, it seems). This current contract impasse may be headed for a legislated resolution, or perhaps if the two sides can get at least a little closer to each other’s position some kind of meaningful mediation can take place. In any event, until a mutual trust and respect ﬁnds its way into the picture, we’re going to see a replay of the current melodrama as soon as the next contract expires.

In court Wednesday, Nelsen said Loewen was the one who cancelled several installation dates. “We’d been prepared for quite some time — months in fact,” he said. “The weather

started to turn,” he said. “I knew a big rainstorm was coming.” Nelsen said after that, he left it up to Loewen to get back to him, and assumed “there was no emergency” because “I didn’t hear back from her again.” Nelsen said several months later he got a call from a Vancouver police ofﬁcer, saying his customer had complained about him. Nelsen said the police ofﬁcer suggested he return the deposit and he agreed.

He said he had an employee hand over the cash next time they were in the neighbourhood. “Did you wish to complete this contract?” asked Nelsen’s defence lawyer Morgan Fane. “Absolutely. A hundred per cent,” said Nelsen. “Did you intend to take Ms. Loewen’s $900 and not complete this contract?” he asked. “Never,” said Nelsen. — with ﬁles from Keith Fraser,The Province

Rick Mercer has had a few adventures in his day. Spending his time crisscrossing the country to ﬁlm segments for his CBC TV show, the award-winning comedian and political satirist has gained a unique perspective on what it means to be Canadian. Having just wrapped the 11th season of the Rick Mercer Report, he’s still travelling, but this time for a series of theatre shows,

That’s just the nature of the business. So it gives me a chance to expand on some of those adventures.” Having just arrived home

from a trip to Saskatoon and Kenora for performances of his one-man show, Mercer is scheduled to headWest next week to take the stage at Kay Meek Centre. He is the featured performer at the WestVancouver arts centre’s annual gala fundraiser set for Friday, June 6, with proceeds supporting the expansion of youth-focused programs, artistic development and community outreach. “My happy place is sitting in a theatre as the lights go down and there’s that moment where you don’t know what’s going to happen,” says Mercer, whose performance roots are in the medium. “That’s why I love theatre fundraisers, I just think it’s so spectacular. . . .

It is what it is and there’s nothing that matches it.” Vicki Gabereau will serve as the evening’s MC. “She is one of those people who gave me a number of breaks early in my career,” says Mercer. The Rick Mercer Report has just been renewed for three more years, the ﬁrst time Mercer has had a multipleyear contract. “I’m obviously very happy because it’s only the CBC that is interested in doing a show that is truly as national as my show is. I think everyone, when they make television, they want to appeal to a large audience and they hope that people all over the country watch the show. But there’s very few

shows that travel the country as much as I do, and show off the country as much as I do, and get outdoors as much as I do. It makes for some very cold shooting days,” he laughs. The show also gives Mercer an opportunity to experiment with comedy and political satire, as well as speak his mind. “It allows me to do my rant, which is something I’ve done my entire life. And I consider that the biggest privilege of all because I think most Canadians are ranting somewhere, whether it’s in the car or on the bus or in the privacy of their own home.” “I talk about what I’m passionate about and one See Mercer page 24

Children walk through the winding streets of Creston, B.C. as though drawn by the Pied Piper’s song.They move toward the barn atop the Hutton acreage, but none of the children really see it. They see the big top. Before Pascale Hutton won recurring roles on Arctic Air, Flashpoint and Fringe, she was a child of the circus. On those days when it felt right to send in the clowns, Hutton’s mother would spread the word through the neigbourhood and the neighbourhood would come. Once inside the Hutton’s barn, the children transformed into acrobats, ringmasters, and much to young Pascale Hutton’s dismay, the king of the jungle. “I was the lion, and I don’t think I was that pleased about it,” Hutton recalls, laughing. A tightrope walker would

For the ﬁnale, the crowd was treated to a trapeze artist who’d do her best tricks while clinging to a piece of pipe hung on a length of rope, once more the work of Hutton’s father. “It sounds ridiculous to me that you would allow your child to do it, but . . . when I was 8 I got to be the trapeze artist,” Hutton says. Over weak and rotted out

barn floorboards, Hutton would fly. “I would sometimes do my big dismount and then my leg would go through the floor,” she says. The barn was eventually padded with mattresses which Hutton believes were claimed from the town dump. “That sort of theatricality and performance was just always a part of my childhood,” she says.

From page 15 latter — colour, texture and particularly pattern found in the natural world — that provides the foundation for the work of both artists, and inspires this exhibition. Love’s medium is usually fabric — fabric that has been dyed, printed with a myriad of different techniques, and then layered and fused, or stitched and cut away and stitched again. Layering — of colours, of patterns and textures, of fibres and stitches, of images and cultural references — this is at the core of Love’s art practice. She is particularly interested in intersections, disruptions and reversals where positive and negative space, natural and manmade patterns, order and randomness have an opportunity to coexist and interact. Ainscough works with a variety of different media, including the technique of stencil casting, finishing with natural oxides, oil and acrylic paints. She also works with textiles and handmade papers, creating mixed media works using digital image transfer, mono printing and stenciling with dyes and paints. Rivers and tributaries, branches of trees, the nervous system of humans all have patterns in common as do the planets in the solar system and cellular structures of plants and animals. Nature’s worlds — from microscopic to cosmologic — contain infinite inspirations and play a vital role in this creative expression.

Libraries expanding digital presence Hoopla service allows users to access collection 24/7 CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

North Vancouver library cardholders can now access thousands of movies,TV shows, audiobooks and music albums absolutely free. NorthVancouver City Library launched Hoopla digital in mid-March and NorthVancouver District Public Library went live with the service on Monday. By downloading the free Hoopla app, library members can stream or temporarily download a virtual collection of audio-visual materials on their computers and mobile devices. “There’s more and more demand for digital and we’re meeting that demand,” says Jacqueline van Dyk, NVDPL’s director of library services, who explains that about a third of the library’s offerings are now digital. With Hoopla, there is no wait to borrow titles and there are no late fees. Downloads are automatically returned at the end of the borrowing period (three days for movies andTV shows, seven days for music albums and three weeks for audiobooks).

get the same titles in both formats because some things are more accessible digitally and some things are more accessible in physical media,” she explains. “Depending on what it is, we’ll just make smart choices about which format things are offered in.” Since launching last summer, hoopla has partnered with more than

200 library systems across North America and is now live in 15 libraries in Canada. “With our platform we’ve taken out the biggest disadvantage of the physical world, which is one user-one copy,” says Jeff Jankowski, the founder of hoopla and vicepresident of parent company MidwestTape. All titles are available

24 hours a day, seven days a week, and multiple users can borrow the same title at the same time.There is a monthly per-user borrowing cap, depending on the library. Hoopla currently has content agreements in place with Hollywood studios and record companies, but is also conscientious to focus on educational and non-fiction materials. So, in addition to The King’s Speech and My WeekWith Marilyn, users will also find a selection of homeschooling and yoga videos. “Eighty per cent of the videos that we carry are not on Netflix,” Jankowski says. When it comes to music, hoopla carries albums on their release date, meaning users can listen to Coldplay’s Ghost Stories or Sarah McLachlan’s Shine On — both out this month. “You can get the album and borrow it for a week, the same day the retail stores have it, before you decide whether you want to own it or not,” Jankowski says. Libraries do not pay a subscription fee for hoopla, but instead follow a payper-use model. According to NVDPL, charges per download range from $1.09 to $3.39, depending on the item. A benefit of this model is that the library can offer many titles to its patrons, but only pay for those being used.With physical media material, the library may See Library page 40

of the things that I fear most when I have any fears at all for the country is complacency, whether that’s reflected in low voter turnout.That’s something that I talk about it and hope to change or be part of the change. “It’s not like I feel like I have a responsibility, I just feel like so many people, we’re just passionate about certain things and that comes through in my work,” he adds. Despite how keenly attuned Mercer is to the country’s political workings and issues of the day, as well as continuing to see for himself some of the challenges facing everyday Canadians, he’s managed to fight cynicism. “I have a very positive outlook right now but there was a time when I was more immersed in the Ottawa bubble, the politics bubble, where I wasn’t feeling so positive. And the more that I stopped spending time inside the bubble of Ottawa and spending more time with lobster fishermen and more time with regular folks who have a festival in their community, the more positive I felt and that’s something I touch on very much in the show,” he says. Mercer has also been able to incorporate humanitarian initiatives into the show, most notably through his relationship with Spread the Net, which works to protect children and pregnant women by delivering malaria-preventing bed nets to families in Africa. Mercer’s face is currently appearing on cartons of Chapman’s ice cream with proceeds from sales of RMR Blueberry Pie Ice Cream supporting the non-profit. When asked what he’s most proud of, looking back on his incredibly successful career to date, Mercer says being able to continue working for one, as well, “I love the fact that when I started out and I was travelling around the country with The Mercer Report, kids would say to me, ‘What are you doing here?Why would you come here?’ And now they say, ‘I knew you’d come!’ So that’s pretty good,” he says.

Keeping a Hero’s Dream Alive

PHOTO KEVIN HILL

Tim Jones’ mountain rescue story began in 1989 when, as a trained paramedic, he participated in his first helicopter rescue on Mt. Seymour. By the time the injured hiker had been returned to safety, Tim knew he had discovered his passion. He loved the North Shore back country, from Lion’s Bay to the headwaters of Indian Arm. He believed that it was there to be explored, but safely, and he knew that with proper training and equipment, this was possible. Yet time and again, North Shore Rescue gets called to rescue those who are ill-prepared. It was this challenge which drove his extraordinary commitment to North Shore Rescue.

THE FOUNDATION HAS ESTABLISHED A LEGACY FUND IN MEMORY OF NORTH SHORE RESCUE’S TIM JONES

shelters situated in the City of North Vancouver works yard, had been recently upgraded to a beautiful new facility at 61 Bewicke Avenue, affectionately referred to as “the Embassy”.

Yet Tim himself would have been the first to say how much work there was left to do. North Shore Rescue will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary in 2015, and Tim and the team planned to launch a major fundraising initiative. A single longline helicopter rescue kit costs $35,000 plus steep annual recertification fees for the team. North Shore Rescue also provides important educational resources to the community. And all its services are This is your chance to provided free of charge. Half of North Shore honour the years of Rescue’s annual budget comes from public donations, the remainder from government personal sacrifice sources, so that every year brings financial by Tim Jones uncertainty which erodes the team’s focus on its core mission: mountain rescue and safety.

When Tim passed away suddenly earlier this year at the age of 57, the community was in shock. Flags flew at half-mast. Hundreds of mourners lined Lonsdale Avenue for the funeral procession and crowded Centennial Theatre to pay their respects. The man who had volunteered so selflessly at North Shore Rescue for more than 25 years, and had become its beloved public face, had accomplished so much. With his team he caused the longline helicopter rescue to be officially recognized and available across British Columbia, allowing North Shore Rescue, still a team of just forty volunteers, to do five times the work it did back in 1980, when the team responded to only twenty calls a year. That number is now ninety to a hundred calls yearly. And North Shore Rescue headquarters, for years no more than a heated shed and tent

The West Vancouver Community Foundation has backed North Shore Rescue since 1998. Now our new North Shore Rescue Tim Jones Legacy Fund has been created to address their need for stable funding into the future. This is your chance to honour the years of personal sacrifice by Tim Jones, and to do your part to support the demanding work of the North Shore Rescue’s team of brave volunteers. Please give generously to the new North Shore Rescue Tim Jones Legacy Fund.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

“Through philanthropy, we build a better West Vancouver.”

Such was the vision of a small group of community leaders 35 years ago, when the West Vancouver Community Foundation was established. How proud they would have been on May 15th of this year, when the Foundation announced the receipt of $3,608,400 from the estate of community builder and business leader Howard Martin. Part of a $27,000,000 bequest given to the Salvation Army, the Central City Foundation, and the University of British Columbia, this is the largest single donation in our history.

being able to use the income derived from this bequest to support many more requests in the year ahead.

All of this was announced at our Annual General Meeting, attended by representatives of the Martin family. Following the meeting we received a short letter from one of the family members, a portion of which follows: “It was enlightening and encouraging to hear what a wonderfully well run organization you represent and to know that we can rest assured that the money has been put into good hands. It is my sincerest wish that others in the community are spurred into recognizing the West Vancouver Community Foundation to assist in not only reaching your goal of $10,000,000, but to far exceed it”.

What will it mean for our community? When Governor General Geoff Jopson David Johnson recently issued a call to all Canadians to build FOUNDATION CHAIR a “smart and caring” nation, he urged us to connect the head Gerry Humphries, who for four years has provided exceptional and the heart – to become more nuturing, more inclusive, leadership as our chairperson, described this bequest as a milestone, to look out for each other, and to create opportunities for all, not some. Just and a turning point for the Foundation. As your new chairperson, I am honoured imagine the difference the Martin bequest will make to the lives of the citizens to work alongside a very dedicated and talented board of directors, whose of West Vancouver. Earlier this spring we were able to award just over $100,000 commitment to community service builds on the legacy of Mr. Martin and the to 31 separate organizations who had requested funding in support of their many other generous donors who make our work possible. efforts to build a stronger community. Meals on Wheels for senior citizens, crisis Sincerely, intervention and suicide prevention services for our youth, support to West Vancouver women experiencing difficult pregnancy and postpartum adjustments – these are just some of the services we were pleased to fund. Now, as a result Geoff Jopson of the extraordinary generosity of Mr. Martin and his family, we look forward to a

The 7th Annual North Shore Mayors’ Golf Tournament The 7th Annual North Shore Mayors’ Golf Tournament is giving the first $50,000 raised to Turning Point Recovery Society to support its newest initiative: building the first licensed addictions support recovery house for women on the North Shore. The house will provide residential addiction recovery services to 25 to 35 women per year, allowing them to stay in their community, rather than be transferred or referred off the North Shore. The project is a partnership of Turning Point, BC Housing, the District of North Vancouver and Vancouver Coastal Health. Funds raised in excess of this amount are shared between the West Vancouver Community Foundation and the North Shore Community Foundation, who each year team up to put on this fantastic annual fundraiser. The Mayors’ Golf Tournament is endorsed by the three North Shore mayors, including the Foundation’s own Honorary Director, West Vancouver Mayor Michael Smith. In its first six years, the tournament has already raised over $700,000 to benefit a range of needs for North Shore residents. Each year, a designated charity is identified to receive half of the first $100,000 raised; the balance is shared by the two community foundations, who add it to their endowment funds. In this way, some of the proceeds provide immediate benefit, and the rest are invested to provide benefits in perpetuity. The tournament was held on May 24 at the beautiful Seymour Golf & Country Club. Event Sponsor Darwin Properties (Canada) Ltd. and Dinner Sponsor Polygon, plus over sixty additional corporate sponsors generously donated the majority of funds. We would like to give a big thank you to all of the tournament’s sponsors, golfers and volunteers for an amazing day for charitable causes on the North Shore, and a special thank-you to director Mark Ballard for representing the West Vancouver Community Foundation on the tournament’s planning committee.

Mobilizing Forum

healthy, sustainable North Shore and Sea to Sky corridor is a vital vision shared by environmental stewardship organizations, local governments, funding agencies and engaged citizens. The West Vancouver Community Foundation is working to support this vision. The Foundation’s Environment Committee recently helped these groups to meet and explore opportunities for connection and collaboration, by convening a forum called, “Mobilizing Resources, an Environmental Networking and Partnering Forum”. One hundred and thirty participants attended the January 11 event, which was organized in partnership with

Capilano University and the five other Sea to Sky community foundations. The event was sponsored by Vancity’s West Vancouver branch. David Suzuki Foundation Ambassador Stephen Foster opened the forum with an appeal to think about Howe Sound as our neighbourhood, and to be aware of and engaged in this extraordinary backyard that we all share. The morning also featured displays by stewardship organizations, a panel presentation on financial and non-financial support, and a speed dating session to match Capilano University Earthworks and Global Stewardship students with organizations looking for volunteer support with their projects. The success of the event points to many opportunities for the Foundation’s Environment Committee to act on, and committee members are busy following up on some of these ideas – including holding another Mobilizing Resources forum next year!

Fairy tales are easy pickings for reboots: we already know the villains, can recite their best lines, but we have no idea what makes them tick. Did the kids at school tease Ursula about her weight? Did Cinderella’s stepmother come from a trailer park before moving into the castle? If you don’t want a twist on the traditional tale, don’t see the ﬁlm. And avoid producer Joe Roth’s other fairy-tale remakes: Oz the Great and Powerful, Snow White and the Huntsman,Alice inWonderland. Because while some things are the same as the beloved 1959 Disney classic Sleeping Beauty — a whole scene is almost word for word — there’s a lot to rankle traditionalists. Angelina Jolie plays

A library may be as expansive as a cathedral, like the Central Library in Philadelphia that houses over seven million items or the ornate libraries that Carnegie constructed around the country. They can also be tiny structures modestly built to serve a small community like the trailer set beneath a roof to offer shade from the Death Valley sun. No matter what the size they all serve a common goal of free information.

Eighteen years ago Robert Dawson took his ﬁrst photographs of libraries.The pictures were often taken as a part of another project or trip. Dawson found himself drawn to these community centres and would seek them out whenever the opportunity came up. Family See Dawson page 34

Jolie’s central character dominates every scene From page 30 love-and-revenge-tale, right? Not quite.The three fairies charged with hiding Aurora from Maleficent (Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple, Lesley Manville) prove to be highly incompetent caregivers, forcing Maleficent to take on a mothering role, of sorts. (How confused is Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, by the way? She plays Aurora at age five and mommy keeps calling her a “beastie” and telling her to go away.) She and Diaval (Sam Riley), Maleficent’s raven sidekick, keep Aurora from going hungry and falling off cliffs. Maleficent starts to regret her curse. Even in 3D, the effects, while magical in scope, are not quite as consistent as they ought to be.The tree battle is an effects highlight but feels like an aside that was given too much weight. Ditto a later skirmish where Maleficent tosses soldiers around like a kid shaking her piggy bank. And this while other vital bonding scenes

between Maleficent and Aurora (Elle Fanning) are rushed. If the whole idea is to give Maleficent a backstory, linger there. Scenes of the formative years that turned Maleficent from guardian of the moors to maimed revenge-seeker are too brief, with a voiceover hastening things along. Speaking of haste: Aurora has the shortest sleep ever! This is Sleeping Beauty, not PowerNap Princess. This is the first time directing for Robert Stromberg, an Art Direction Oscar winner (Alice In Wonderland,Avatar). His is a fair film made decent by Jolie’s presence: like a porcelain, reality-TV Mob Wife, Jolie and her prosthetic cheekbones dominate every scene, as do her exquisite costumes. But it’s the gusto with which Jolie attacks each line, the study the actor has put into every cackle, every silhouette, that makes the film about more than the effects.

road trips incorporated side journeys to libraries of all sizes and designs. In 2011 Dawson made the ﬁrst extensive Library road trip traveling with his son for eight weeks through 26 states eventually driving over 11,000 miles and photographing 189

libraries.The following year saw another trip, this time for four weeks, resulted in 10,000 miles and 110 libraries.These trips ﬁlled in the blanks of his project. They saw not just the fabulous architecture of great libraries but also the desolation of closed and abandoned ones, like the damaged structures in post-

Katrina New Orleans. Dawson’s photographs capture the many aspects that a library is to a community. Refuge, study hall, meeting place, a place with a shared history, and a modern structure with a view to the future, these things and more are all there in the carefully composed images.

In addition to the photographs, short essays are interspersed throughout the book from a variety of literary ﬁgures that include Bill Moyers, Barbara Kingsolver, Amy Tan and Ann Patchett.They speak of the signiﬁcance of libraries in their lives and celebrate the spirit of the sharing of knowledge.

plays including a starring turn in The Life and Death of Marie Antoinette, Hutton might have seemed fated for a career in character, but she didn’t see it that way. As she prepares to hand out hardware to the best in B.C. film and TV at the Leo Awards, Hutton reflects on how distant it all seemed from Creston. “I was from a small town. Nobody was a professional actor,” she says. “Honestly, it just didn’t even occur to me that that was something that people did and could happen.” When it comes to escaping a small town, you can do as Meat Loaf suggested and hit the highway like a battering ram on a silver black phantom bike, or you can find a teacher who believes in you. For Hutton, it was her Grade 10 drama teacher. “She really opened my world in terms of what was possible and what I could do,” Hutton says. She took Hutton to theatre workshops in Edmonton and ultimately recommended she hone her skills in the Master of Fine Arts program at the University of Alberta. Once enrolled, Hutton learned to speak the words of the bard trippingly on the tongue and of course practised walking across the room blindfolded with a bowl of water on her head. “That is not a joke.That was a serious, serious and very earnest exercise that they made us do in theatre school, if you can believe it. We very earnestly, earnestly did it. One girl was so earnest in fact that when her bowl of water started spilling over she started crying,” she says. As more water spilled, the young actor’s heartbreak intensified, causing even more spillage until the bowl crashed to the ground and the room erupted in laughter. “So I’m a highly trained

actor, obviously,” Hutton says. When asked about the purpose of the exercise, Hutton turns meditative. “Ten years later we’re all still trying to ﬁgure it out,” she says. Life after graduation proved challenging for Hutton. “Every actor who comes out of theatre school goes through the very brutal realization that the world is not just waiting to hire you the second you graduate,” she says. “I came out and I thought, ‘Oh, every theatre company across Canada is going to be just itching to hire me for the lead in their big production that year,’ and that was not the case.” After settling in Calgary, Hutton snagged a role in HollywoodWives:The New Generation, a TV movie best known for not featuring pop singer Christina Aguilera. It wasn’t long before Hutton availed herself of the greater acting opportunities in Vancouver. After a solid decade of bit parts in big movies like Fantastic Four and big parts in shows like Sanctuary, Hutton came to the attention of Leo Awards president Walter Daroshin. “Walter called me . . . I saw that it was him and I didn’t answer it ‘cause I just had this feeling in my gut,” Hutton remembers. She sensed he wanted her to host the awards show. “I had been there just the previous year where I saw Brent (Butt) and Nancy (Robertson) and they were very funny and very zany and wonderful comedians up there, and I thought ‘If you’re expecting that, I am the wrong person for this job.’” Daroshin assured her he wanted actors who were integrated in the community and able to bring “grace” to the evening. Grace is often open to debate, but for an actor who can cross a room blindfolded with a bowl of water on her head, it’s indisputable.

Portland’s food carts serve up a feast

City’s culinary street culture has developed a unique scene

“Hunger is good discipline.” — Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast JOHN GOODMAN jgoodman@nsnews.com

The difference between Portland’s food carts and Vancouver’s food trucks is more than just semantics — there is an entire paradigm shift of cultural values invested in the process. While the Vancouver food street scene seems to be a highly regulated affair Portland’s cultural feast has developed organically in a somewhat more laissez-faire environment. “It’s evolved over many, many years starting with the Farm-to-table movement back in the ’80s and ’90s,” says Brett Burmeister, owner and managing editor at foodcartsportland.com, a website devoted to the scene. Food carts, loosely organized into pods on private property, began operation in downtown Portland several decades ago, says Burmeister. One of the ﬁrst being at Fifth and Stark which has been

Nobody came along and said, ‘You can’t do this.’ It was a situation

where it was essentially allowed by default.” Burmeister began his website in 2007 just in time to observe a cultural scene kicking into overdrive with a perfect mix of supply and demand. “We really just embrace everything food and the food carts are an extension

of that, “ he says. “We started out with everybody’s standard hot dog cart or bento cart in the ’90s and then in the last ﬁve or six years it has evolved into an explosion of ethnic foods, artisanal cuisine, etc. and it continues to grow from there.” Initially the food

cart pods were all in the downtown core but over the past decade the industry has branched out into other areas of the city. “We’ve expanded over to our east side which is actually where our neighbourhoods are,” says Burmeister. “We have a couple of developers who

have taken under-utilized land and turned them into food cart pods. It’s smaller than what’s downtown where we have lots with 20 to 30 carts per lot — over on the east side it’s much smaller in the range of three to ten per lot but that’s really where we’ve seen most of the growth in the last ﬁve, six years.” According to Multnomah County records between 700 and 800 licenses have been issued for food carts, catering trucks and trucks that transport food. Burmeister estimates that from that total between 500 and 550 food carts operate throughout the city on any given day. During the last decade Portland has seen its fair share of culinary superstars rise out of the food cart world. Perhaps no one has made more of a splash than Nong Poonsukwattana who arrived from her native Thailand and started her business with one chicken and rice dish — khao man gai. “Traditional Thai street food that Nong has been able to turn into an empire,” says Burmeister. “She will even admit that it’s kind of a simple dish in her culture but now she has three locations, two physical food carts (in the Tenth and Alder pod and the Fourth and Hall, Portland State University pod), a See Pods page 36

Interview with a ‘food cart fan’

Writer spreads the word on street eats

JOHN GOODMAN jgoodman@nsnews.com

It took awhile for Portland writer Steven Shomler to turn his attention to his city’s food cart culture but once he did he was hooked. A few years ago he started a website, portlandfoodcartadventures. com, and in April he published a new book, Portland Food Cart Stories: Behind the Scenes with the

City’s Culinary Entrepreneurs. Shomler spoke to the North Shore News about his book and the current scene which boasts as many as 500 carts in operation on any given day throughout the city. North Shore News: How did you get involved with the food carts? Steven Shomler: I moved to Portland in 2004 and in the fall of 2010 a friend of mine Adam made me go to a food cart.We went to the Portland Soup Company and I had a cold gazpacho soup and an incredible sandwich which kind of blew my mind. The very next Friday we went to Lardo — Lardo was

He moved to Portland just to have fun with a food cart and it kind of grew from there. Sitting in the food cart pod on that day I said to Adam, See Portland’s page 38

commissary that she serves out of and a restaurant. According to news reports from late last year she was planning to expand to other cities this year so it’s been a whirlwind growth for her in the last ﬁve years.” Last week it was announced that Cartopia, a late-night favourite at Hawthorne and 12th in southeast Portland, will close down later this year to make way for a new apartment complex. Cartopia ﬁlled a niche that will be greatly missed says Burmeister. “There are multiple carts on a lot surrounding picnic tables and a tent. It’a a place to go and stay and hang out with your friends and enjoy food. That’s what makes them so unique.The other vendors that are open late-night don’t necessarily create that community space.They’re traditional vendors serving out to the parking lot.You swing out to the sidewalk you grab your food and move on.That was really

what Cartopia brought to the table, that community space they created.” Despite the loss of Cartopia and a few other pods this year the food cart scene remains a vibrant, continually-evolving cultural feast for the senses. Burmeister has observed

several trends developing so far in 2014. “We’re seeing a few more carts move into restaurants and I hope that continues,” he says. “It’s like the next logical step for these vendors.We’re seeing an inﬂux of Mediterranean cuisine that we haven’t seen in the past ﬁve or six years. I

think in just the downtown alone we’ve added at least 10 Mediterranean vendors with a myriad of different cuisines from that region. We’ve continued to evolve in different ways — ask me that next year and it will be a completely different answer.”

Portland Timbers host food cart vendors during soccer games and at Sunday’s match against theWhitecaps 808 Grinds will be serving their Hawaiian cuisine. Brett Burmeister: “The Timbers have a specific concession stand that is for a food cart vendor and they’ve identified vendors to come in and take over the concession stand for a day.There’s been Hawaiian, there’s been Kow Man Gai, there’s been Big Ass Sandwiches.You know the cost of food at stadiums is always high, like $9 for a hot dog. 808 does a full plate with salad, rice and good portion of their 808 pork or whatever, and it’s $10, $11. It’s the best value of food I’ve ever seen in a stadium where prices are generally higher — and they are one of those vendors who can manage the crowd really well. I have no idea how many plates they serve but most of the whole first half, including all the time before the game starts there are four or five lines of 30 or 40 people in each.They are one of the more popular vendors down there (808grinds.com).”

Portland’s pods offer different experiences

apparently disappearing to development this year. Steven Shomler: Yes they are. Cartopia, a very popular pod here at 12th and Hawthorne, is probably going to close down at the end of October when its lease has run out and it becomes a 27-unit apartment complex. But I don’t think the sky is falling on the Portland food cart scene. I know three pods that are planning to open. I’m very sad to see Cartopia go — I hope they have an amazing summer. Anyone who comes from Vancouver to Portland this summer needs to go on a Friday or Saturday night at midnight — it’s an amazing fun scene.

‘We’ve got to start a food cart website and tell other idiots like me who have lived in Portland for a long time and have never been they need to go.’ Fast forward to a year later I started researching in the winter of 2011 and started the website January 1. North Shore News: You describe yourself as a food cart fan. Steven Shomler: I don’t think it’s really fair to describe myself as a critic — these days I say I’m more of a food writer based out of Portland. Part of the reason I don’t say I’m a critic is that if I don’t like the food that is at a food cart nobody will ever know I was there. I don’t need to ruin what they are trying to do or trying to accomplish.That’s just not who I am. I’m a huge fan of food carts and when I ﬁnd one I love and I think the food is amazing and the stories are great I write about it and I tell my friends and fans to go to this one and check it out because it’s fantastic. North Shore News: How did the book come about? Is that an extension of what you do on your website? Steven Shomler: I tell the stories about the owners of the food carts that I love. It’s more about them as business owners.Why are they here? Why in Portland?Why that menu? How did they get here?Why are these people here doing this amazing food? North Shore News:The food cart culture in Portland is certainly unique. Steven Shomler: A food cart in Portland is a food truck almost anywhere else. We call them carts, they’re actually food trucks, in Austin,Texas they call them trailers. One difference that

In fact one of the challenges that people have when they fall in love with food carts is that they say, ‘Oh I want that truck to come to my wedding.’ The vast majority of Portland food carts are not mobile, they cannot go to your wedding.They cannot be hauled around.They are there 24/7 seven days a week. North Shore News: Your book is a snapshot of the Portland food cart scene now — can you talk about one of the success stories in the book? Steven Shomler: I proﬁle Sean and McKinze, they are a wonderful couple that grew up in Iowa the heartland of America. They wanted to see the world and the best way they could do that

was through the peace corps. They signed up and ended up going to the country of Georgia.They fell in love with the food and the people and when their couple of years with the peace corps was up they recalled visiting Portland on vacation and they’d seen the food carts and decided to open a food cart selling Georgian cuisine. They learned just living in the country and from their host families and opened a food cart here and have done phenomenally well.Their dish khachapuri —

North Shore News: What’s the experience been opening pods in neighbourhoods? Has there been any nimbyism (not in my backyard) sentiment? Steven Shomler: Not that I have ever heard of.When D-Street Noshery closed at 33rd and Division the neighbourhood was very disappointed. Some people went to the hearing a couple of years ago and said, ‘Hey let’s not put in the condos.’ Koi Fusion had a cart at D-Street in that pod just a couple of blocks from where they just opened their ﬁrst brick and mortar on 30th.

up calling themselves the D-Street Natives. I’ve never heard anybody complain.They’re wellrespected, clean and help tremendously with urban renewal. It brings business and a life and vitality to the neighbourhood. North Shore News: What pods would you recommend this summer? Steven Shomler: A pod I really like if you want to check out the neighbourhood experience is Alberta and 23rd — that’s an amazing pod. I tend to prefer the neighbourhood pods because I can take friends and we can sit down and eat.There’s the Cheese Plate PDX there that has amazing cheeses, grilled cheese sandwiches and things for my friends who are vegans and don’t see the beauty of bacon like I do. You’ve got The Sugar Shop which has incredible desserts they bake with booze. I had a coconut porter ﬂoat there on Sunday and it was just amazing.You have the Hoppy Camper which is a food cart that sells only beer. It’s fun, you can sit at the tables in the shade — it’s a great experience.

Belmont and 42nd is a fantastic pod. Carts on Foster, at 52nd and Foster, is a great pod with a fun little bar pod Bar PDX — they have taps with really good quality local Oregon brews. A larger fun pod, it’s a different experience, is Cartlandia out on 82nd. They just opened a natural enclosed bar there,The Blue Room, and one of the prominent carts there is Main Street Lobster and you can get authentic lobster rolls right there in Portland. The other thing visitors need to do is make sure they check out some downtown carts: Ninth and Alder is a good one,Third and Stark is a really fun pod — there’s a Pulehu Pizza run by a gentlemen who grew up in France who learned to grill pizzas on a grill in Hawaii and now does amazing Hawaiian grilled pizzas right there at Third and Stark. You’ve got Mama Chow’s Kitchen — Jeff Chow moved December 31 this past year from Oakland, California to Portland to open a food cart which was his culinary dream. He does amazing Chinese food that his mom taught him. It’s just incredible the stuff he does there and literally right next

2014VolvoV60 R-Design

Volvo wagon goes vroom Wagon, hö! It’s nearly the last bastion of the compact wagon, but the European luxury manufacturers still provide offerings that appeal to those who don’t want a crossover like everybody else. Not that there are all that many to choose from. If you want a compact longroof, your only choice is BMW or Volkswagen, and neither

company really offers a hot version.Want a six cylinder in your cargo hauler? Too bad — buy an X3 please. But wait, what’s this on the horizon? Is it that champion of lightspeed labradoodle transport? That Swedish seller of supersonic stow-and-go? That safetyconscious marque also obsessed with maximum bork? Yes it is.The Volvo

station wagon is back, and it’s back with a vengeance. This is the Volvo V60 RDesign, and with all due respect to high-priced rockets like the AMG Ewagons, it’s here to blow all ﬁve doors off its compact wagon competitors. Design Buried deep under Volvo’s sheet metal are the bones of a Ford Mondeo,

relic of Volvo’s past parent company, which paired Aston-Martin, Jaguar, and the Swedes under one company umbrella. Rumour has it that for every dollar Volvo made, Jaguar lost two. These days, however, Volvo’s got a bit more autonomy under the Chinese manufacturer Geely, or at least it appears See Souped-up page 48

TODAY’S DRIVE

Souped-up V60 has serious speed

From page 47

to be making a few lessconservative decisions. One such decision is the new styling seen here. If the corporate grille is a terrible idea for some companies, getting it right nets a recognizable style, and the new V60 has that in spades. It’s just a new grille, fenders, and hood, but it’s an improved look. Integrated LED lighting is part of the package too, as you’d expect. Blessedly, it looks sporty without the imbecilic fury so many manufacturers seem to be building into their cars. “Let’s go drive!” says the Volvo, as opposed to the, “Help me hide this body raaaarrrgh!” you find elsewhere. In profile, well, one does wish a little for the simplistic boxiness of the V70R and the like.The pinched greenhouse looks good, but is not quite as timeless as the old boxwith-some-other-boxesstacked-on-top style. R-Design designation gets you some nice-looking five-

spoke 18-inch alloys, and the silver side mirrors are reminiscent of an S-model Audi.

Environment Inside, the R-Design continues the tradition of hot Volvos having among the best-looking seats on the planet. As a no-cost option, these nicely stitched and well-bolstered thrones come ﬁtted with suede inserts, which help keep up-front passengers planted, and easily display all the detritus of little backseat riders. So, it looks good, but maybe not for long if you have grubby kids. While the outside of the car has been updated, the interior of the V60 is not that much different than its sedan sibling, which has been on the road for a while.The many buttons work better the more familiar they become, but there’s no touchscreen, and the navigation display is really quite small. However, what worked in the past works here as well, and the metallic silhouette formed of

buttons used for controlling the air-conditioning and heating vents is one Volvo quirk that’s really quite handy. All Vehicles equipped with the larger T6 motor now have steering wheel mounted paddle-shifters, and there’s that customary Volvo ﬂoating centre-stack. Really, the only demerits come as a result of the back seats, which are quite tight. Fitting a rear-facing child seat behind the driver required scooting forward into a tight position, and there’s not a lot of legroom for passengers. The trunk, however, is pretty spacious, at 430 litres, although that’s slightly less than the touring version of the BMW 3Series.Volvo’s pop-up cargo divider is certainly worth a mention, with an elastic tie down to help stop the groceries sliding around. Trust me — you’re going to need this.

Performance Volvo rates the 0-100 kilometres per hour time of their highest-trim T6 model at around six seconds.

Secondly, I think Volvo was just making that

number up to keep their safety-ﬁrst image — this thing’s a rocket. The Polestar tuning does make the throttle response quite jumpy, even when the six-speed transmission isn’t in sport mode. If you’re looking for a more

docile Volvo, perhaps look down-range. If you want a Swedish meatball with space for a bike in the back, you’ve found it. Old front-driver hot Volvos always gave you a bit SeeWagon’s page 50

of a forearm workout, but this new car drives more like an Audi.There’s plenty of all-wheel-drive grip, and the instantly available torque is plenty, more than enough shove for the public street. It’s not the 0-100 km/h time that counts, it’s the quick passing response that lets you get up and past pretty much anything,

how quick this car is, then I won’t.

it’s easily up to the task. The paddle-shifters work quite well, but the surfeit of torque will probably just have you leaving it in normal mode. I know Volvo doesn’t think so, but a special-order six-speed manual would probably ﬁnd a home or two, at least here on the wagon-crazy North Shore. Sadly, no stick shift is on offer. And then, on top of the speed, you get all the usual Volvo attributes. It’s quiet and comfortable, and if you don’t buy the bright red version you don’t look like a sociopathic speeder. If you don’t tell anyone just

whether merging onto a highway in a short distance, or, oh I don’t know, zipping past the Ikea parking lot before your spouse can ask you to go in and look at end tables. The handling is really quite good, with the allwheel drive tuned to dispel some of the nose-heaviness imparted by the big 3.0-litre six-cylinder out front. Grip is plentiful. Volvo claims better shifting for the six-speed automatic, and while the transmission is outclassed by the ZF eight-speeds found elsewhere, there’s simply so much power that

Features As you’d expect, Volvo’s little wagon is filled with every safety feature imaginable, including a very sensitive cross-traffic assist, radar-guided blind spot monitoring with slightly longer range than other manufacturers, and even an automatic braking system to assist with the unexpected.

highest Top Safety pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. There’s also a system called City Safety, which is just what it sounds like. Below 50 km/h, the V60 will automatically stop if it’s about to hit a slowing or stopped car. I wouldn’t want to test the technology out, but say you’re shoulder checking for bikes when turning right and the car in front of you stops suddenly for no apparent reason — here, a co-pilot could avoid an annoying fenderbender. Fuel economy for that supercharged straight six isn’t great. Ofﬁcial ratings under the new 2015 ﬁvecycle testing methods aren’t out yet, but U.S. Environmental Protection Agency methods netted 13 litres/100 kilometres city and 9.4 l/100 km on the highway for the S60 sedan, which is very close to observed real-world mileage.

It is, at least for the large price discrepancy between the two — adding in M-Sport options and the like can push the Bimmer to the point where the slightly less advanced V60 quickly starts looking like a bargain. mcaleeronwheels@gmail.com
