N. Van City council divided over OCP

Density caps hotly debated as draft plan moves toward public hearing MARIA SPITALE-LEISK Contributing writer

As City of North Vancouver council painstakingly scrutinized the document that will dictate the next 30 years of planning and development for the municipality, one thing was certain: there was hardly a consensus on

what should be done. Council plodded through each neighbourhood in the draft ofﬁcial community plan, during the 90-minute debate Monday night, targeting mainly density. Perhaps the most contentious piece of the planning puzzle is the East Third Street area. A group of Moodyville residents joined

neighbour Trevor Gorety, who lives on the north side of the 700-block of East Third Street, to support six-storey midrises with commercial storefronts at ground level. But Coun. Guy Heywood moved a wholesale change for East Third — suggesting density only take the form of townhouses. “It’s unfortunate, but most of our OCP process seems to be taken up with the periphery of our concern,

which is really the kind of style of housing in the Third Street area — as opposed to the core, where we are accomplishing the city’s main goals for affordability, density, potential amenity,” said Heywood. He further explained, it would not be prudent for the city to allow a 350 per cent increase in density along that stretch of East Third Street, without ﬁrst seeing how the area takes shape after the Low Level Road

construction is completed and traffic patterns are normalized. Coun. Don Bell brought up traffic safety concerns in the area. “My concern about having commercial on this is, where Third Street turns, it becomes a more hazardous turn in terms of traffic. And to try and provide parking for commercial at that point may be a problem,” he said. Mayor Darrell Mussatto and Coun. Linda Buchanan, however, were not on board

with lower density. “I don’t think it’s consistent with what we are proposing along that transit corridor,” Buchanan said. “It’s far too low of a density. The slope in those areas is signiﬁcant enough that the kind of density on that street won’t be a problem for those below.” During an OCP presentation earlier in the evening, the city’s director See City page 9

Some Windsor Park neighbours have found themselves tangled up in blackberry bramble and red tape. A strip of districtowned right-of-way that runs between Barbara Phillips’ and Beryl Cheetham’s fences on Fairﬁeld Road has become overgrown with blackberries, which are attracting bears. Phillips’ husband spent 50 years knocking down the nasty plant, but with his death three years ago, the bushes have grown unchecked. Since then, they’ve had annual bear visits to her See Berries page 5

District nixes Braemar homes School district out $2.4M BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

District of North Vancouver council has said “non” to a proposed redevelopment of a wooded area at the edge of école Braemar elementary school. Wedgewood Developments was seeking to buy the unused plot of land from the North Vancouver school district for $2.4 million and build seven single-family homes. But council shot the pitch down in a 4-3 vote Monday night. The project found condemnation from Calder Avenue residents who argued the area was already inundated with trafﬁc as parents drive their kids to and from the school each day. Other opponents in the neighbourhood fought the development on principle that lands in the public trust shouldn’t be sold and that the homes would be too close to the school. While all of council was sympathetic to the school board’s need to raise money — with most of the blame heaped on the province and decisions by previous school boards — the majority on council found it was just not the right project for the community. “Maybe we can come up with something on the site that is a little smaller and moved a little farther away from the school board for the site but it’s tough. It’s just not a great piece of

Z8T^22 property to be developing and attempting to divorced from the day-to-day operations of the school,” said Coun. Mike Little. But Little also had some words for some of the neighbours who came out to argue against the project on the grounds that public land is sacrosanct. “The neighbours were all coming out and saying they supported this as a park use. ‘It was public property. Defend the public. Defend, defend, defend’. And yet when I look at the satellite photos, I can see how many of those neighbours are encroaching on the park, extending their backyards by digging out trees and roots and spaces and

extending their backyards into the park and are really just genuinely getting a private beneﬁt out of it. It’s very frustrating to see. If you are committed to that being a public space, get off it.” The population of school-aged children will begin to go back up at some point, making school lands too important to sell, argued Coun. Doug MacKay-Dunn before casting his “nay” vote, “Believe me. It will come, as the night follows the day,” he said. Others, however, spoke highly of the proposal and the developer, who has an impeccable record of community consultation. “It’s an excellent

proposal. It really is. As far as quality of proposals that come before this council, it’s first rate,” Coun. Roger Bassam said. School board vicechair Cindy Gerlach called the council vote “disappointing” and said it leaves a lot of unanswered questions — like where the school board is going to find another $2.4 million to help fund the rebuild of Argyle secondary. “Because that money was earmarked, we’re now going to have to look at finding other ways to raise that money,” she said. The board is still in talks with Wedgewood about whether there could be another proposal. That portion of the

_iaEa MIKE WAKEFIELD

property is untended, making it off-limits to students at the school, Gerlach said, adding the school board is now looking into whether neighbours are using the land without permission, as Little suggested. Gerlach also expressed frustration the school district must clash with residents when it has a duty to provide education for students across the district. “I totally get how communities value what’s going on in their neighbourhood. I totally understand that, but we also have to look at it in the bigger picture. It’s all of North Vancouver for us. It’s not just one community,” she said.

North Van axe murderer loses appeal JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

The B.C. Court of Appeal has upheld the first-degree murder conviction of a NorthVancouver man who was founding guilty of killing a fellow drug dealer with a hatchet. In a decision handed down Wednesday, a panel of three appeal court judges rejected Babak NajafiChaghabouri’s appeal of his conviction, ruling there was “sufficiently reliable evidence” that NajafiChaghabouri was the person who killed Ronak “Ronny” Wagad on Feb. 23, 2009.

Land sales delay Argyle rebuild

Justice Daphne Smith wrote she was satisfied “his intended actions in striking the victim on the head and neck with a hatchet were an essential, substantial and integral cause of the victim’s death.” In 2012, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Barry Davies sentenced NajafiChaghabouri to a mandatory term of jail for life with no possibility of parole for 25 years after finding him guilty of the murder. Davies sentenced a second man, Charles Anthony Leslie, 34, to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 16 years after

finding him guilty of seconddegree murder in the killing. The sentences follow a lengthy trial in which both men pointed to the other as responsible for the gruesome killing. Davies ruled both men were ultimately responsible for Wagad’s death, but Najafi-Chaghabouri was the one who wielded the hatchet for the fatal blows after Leslie refused to go through with the killing. Najafi-Chaghabouri killed Wagad with a hatchet at a remote site near the Fraser River just one week after winning an appeal of a deportation order.

Key evidence in the trial came from Travis Winterlik, an accomplice of NajafiChaghabouri and Leslie, who helped lead police to Wagad’s remains and testified in exchange for immunity from prosecution. But Winterlik did not witness who had actually carried out the killing. Ali Reza Alandari, who was Najafi-Chaghabouri’s roommate in North Vancouver, testified that Najafi-Chaghabouri confessed that he’d killed Wagad, saying he had “hit the man in the head with an axe.” Another witness, whose identity is protected by a

publication ban, described how Najaﬁ-Chaghabouri said he’d made Wagad kneel on the ground in front of the car before taking the hatchet to his head. In appealing his conviction, lawyers for Najaﬁ-Chaghabouri questioned the reliability of testimony given by those witnesses, noting all were drug-addicted and had credibility problems. In upholding the conviction, the appeal court ultimately found the critical parts of their evidence were backed up either by independent physical evidence or other testimony.

The sometimes-lengthy process of weighing development proposals in NorthVancouver and uncertain outcome of those decisions is one of the factors that’s leading to delays in a rebuild of Argyle secondary. The school district is counting on cash from several land sales to provide about $9 million needed for the project to go ahead. Those sales agreements are contingent on developers winning approval of their projects from the District of North Vancouver council — which this week nixed a development plan for the former Braemar school site. (see story this page) Before the province will even consider letting the school district borrow money for the project, the school district must also pay back a remaining $6.2 million of debt to ﬁnance rebuild projects of Sutherland secondary in 2007 and Westview elementary in 2009. The ability to do that is tied to a $5.1-million land sale contingent on approval of another development proposal — for the site of the former Ridgeway Annex in the City of North Vancouver. “The ministry is watching very carefully how we proceed through our land management strategy.That will be key,” said Georgia Allison, secretary-treasurer for the school district. Allison said she’s not worried that the school project is in jeopardy, but added the public process involved in the development deals means “everything takes time.” A seismic upgrade for Argyle was announced prior to the last provincial election. Last fall, North Vancouver school trustees opted to ask the province for authority to completely rebuild the school instead — at an additional cost of anywhere from $9 million to $15 million. Since then, however, there has been no formal agreement to proceed. With 18 to 24 months required to complete a design and a further two See New page 9

yard, including one that ended in a bear plowing through Phillips’ fence to get at the blackberries. Cheetham too had a recent run-in. “It was actually, pardon the expression, taking a dump just a few yards from where I was sitting,” Cheetham said with a laugh. When Cheetham stopped at District of North Vancouver hall to pay her municipal taxes, she asked if staff could remove the bushes and was told no, because there are simply too many of the unused rights-of-way and not enough staff members to maintain them. When Cheetham and Phillips suggested hiring a contractor to remove the bushes at their own expense, they were also told no — because it was on district property. As a compromise, Phillips and Cheetham were told they could trim any parts of the brambles that cross over their property line and put the trimmings at the end of their driveway for municipal staff to pick up.

“There’s no way we would phone them and have them come out, making a special journey just to pick up a few branches that have come over the fence. The problem is behind the fence,” Cheetham said. “I just don’t understand the idea that we can’t touch it; they don’t want to.” Phillips, meanwhile, said she’s more concerned for the bears than her own fence. “I understand that this is bear territory. We are the ones who encroached on their land, so I don’t want any harm to come to the animals — but the thing is, I think with having all these bushes, it just encourages them and they’re the ones that suffer in the end because they have to shoot them. I don’t like that. It’s their habitat,” she said. Following inquiries from the North Shore News, a district spokesperson said residents can call municipal hall to request permission to cut nuisance bushes on district land. “If they want to hire somebody to clear that away, what they’d ﬁrst

need to do is meet with the district so that a district staff person could have a look at what vegetation is there … before allowing it to be removed,” said communications ofﬁcer Jeanine Bratina.

Capital F

hat’s it take to get a school built? If it’s in North Vancouver, apparently these days it involves selling off land of former school sites to raise the money. This pits the school board and the interests of students against neighbours who don’t want to see more residential development. District and city council ﬁnd themselves in the middle, having to make zoning decisions in their jurisdiction that impact whether or not students have adequate facilities. We saw this ﬂawed process fail this week when District of North Vancouver council gave the school district plan to rebuild Argyle secondary a $2.4-million setback by turning down seven singlefamily homes on a wooded corner of Braemar elementary.

responsibility to fund school capital projects but the trend from Victoria in recent years has been to put up the bare minimum amount of funding, schedule a photo-op and leave the school districts to “be creative” in finding the cash to finish the project in a way that makes financial sense. The latest, let-them-eat-cake idea from the province is funding capital projects out of operating budget surpluses — as if school districts’ bank accounts are overflowing with money.This essentially punishes boards for being financially prudent. North Shore homeowners who paid their annual municipal taxes have all likely noticed a sizable amount on the line labelled “school taxes.” Unfortunately, that money goes directly to the province. If this is how schools are made, we give the process an F.

Gambier logging delay welcome Property tax changes Dear Editor: Re: Gambier Island Woodlots Put on Hold, July 2. I am writing on behalf of the Consulting Foresters of BC to support the B.C. governments’ decision to “delay awarding the woodlots (on Gambier Island) for a few weeks in order to help people with concerns better understand the woodlot process,” as published in your paper. As forest professionals engaged in the ongoing management of B.C.’s natural resources, we believe that the government is committed to striking a balance with the multiple resource values on the Island, including management of

the working forest, and to address public input that has been requested and received for this area. Gambier Island is part of B.C.’s working forest and we are proud to be a part of B.C.’s sustainable forest sector. The survival of forest consulting businesses and the local jobs we generate are dependent on Gambier Island as well as the many other working forests across B.C. It is disappointing, however, to see the misleading rhetoric by Peter Scholeﬁeld that states “combined with an existing woodlot, if the new woodlots are approved, it would see 25 per cent of the island under active logging,”

CONTACTUS

suggesting that it will all be logged immediately. This is simply not true as only a fraction of any woodlot area is logged on an annual or periodic (harvesting every ﬁve years) basis. It’s time to acknowledge that some people will never be happy with forest resource development despite the efforts our members and the B.C. government have put into ensuring sustainable resource development and striking a balance with B.C.’s many stakeholder needs. The forest industry and a big piece of the B.C. economy relies on the entire working forest. If we continue to reduce our sustainable working forest, B.C.’s coastal communities

will be giving up real jobs and lose millions of dollars of government revenue that pays for hospitals, doctors and teachers (yes, the ones that are on strike due to a lack of funding from government). We strongly encourage the residents of Gambier Island and the Gambier Conservancy to engage with government while the award of woodlots is delayed, to fully understand woodlot management and in the end to support local jobs by allowing the Gambier Island woodlots to be awarded. Bruce Blackwell President The Society of Consulting Foresters of BC

not ‘families ﬁrst’

Dear Editor: In response to the July 6 letter to the editor Rising Taxes Wreck Dream, I’d like to point out that the average tax increase on a residential property in 2014 in the district is 2.25 per cent, which includes one per cent dedicated for deferred infrastructure maintenance. The signiﬁcant overall tax increase that some residences are experiencing this year is due to the eligibility threshold for the $570 Home Owner Grant having been lowered by the provincial government. Over 1,650 district residences were negatively affected by this arbitrary decision, which resulted in more than

$940,000 in additional school taxes being paid by district residents to the province.We have expressed our frustration to the province that this has had a signiﬁcant impact on a number of our residents and that it is unclear to us how this decision supports the province’s “families ﬁrst” agenda. One of the greatest challenges for municipalities is that the single property tax notice each residence receives includes taxes collected on behalf of the province, regional district and other agencies.

VIEWPOINT

Will ruling lead to investment chill?

Anyone who has been paying attention to the evolution of First Nations rights and powers in B.C. over the past 20 years or so should not be surprised by the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision that recognized a specific aboriginal title. Nevertheless, given the dire warnings from some of the economic chaos that will result from the historic decision, there is reason to be concerned about its impact on B.C.’s economy. The high court resolved what started out in 1983 as a dispute over a logging license but which evolved into a landmark case about the aboriginal title rights of a specific First Nations, in this instance the Tsilhqot’in Nation in the Chilcotin region of the Interior. The concept of aboriginal title was first established by the Supreme Court of Canada more than 40 years ago, in the Calder vs. B.C. case. The recent decision represents the first time in history the high court has formally declared aboriginal title to exist in a specified area. The decision potentially gives First Nations that establish title (not an easy task) a veto over activities on their land.

View from the Ledge provide an escape clause of sorts for governments. If a government meets a three-pronged test, it can override the lack of First Nations consent. The test is a potentially rigorous one: a government must fully show it has consulted and accommodated First Nations’ interests, the proposed action must be “compelling and substantial” for the good of the public (which includes First Nations), and that the government is consistent with its ﬁduciary obligations to First Nations. But the court also referenced a previous decision (Delgamuukw) in citing speciﬁc activities that can potentially infringe on aboriginal title, and they include forestry, mining, infrastructure, environmental protection and “the general economic development of the interior of British Columbia.” So while the decision provides clarity and,

eventually, certainty over issues pertaining to First Nations rights and powers, it didn’t vastly reshape the landscape on this matter. An analysis by the Osler law firm’s aboriginal law group (entitled: The Sky is Not Falling) notes this: “Despite the significant media attention that the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision has received, it represents a reiteration of established law regarding aboriginal title that has been developed over decades,” it said. Another prominent law firm, MacMillan LLP, had this to say: “With the exception of clarifying what is required to establish occupation, the decision does not make significant changes to the law of aboriginal title as it has come to exist over the last several decades.” In B.C., the reality on the ground for the past decade or so is that First Nations have had a de facto veto over many significant activities on land claimed as ancestral. Increasingly, both the provincial government and private sector companies have realized this, and have had to ensure that First Nations support is secured - not ignored - before proceeding with a particular development. And, really, what is the problem with that? Not having First Nations support can frustrate or

the provincial economy arise. It may well be that an investment chill may develop in this province, as potential investors nervously wonder whether it’s safe to invest in a project where the backing of the First Nations concerned is not secured, or not certain. It seems likely that the investment world may be unsettled for a period of time, as many things ﬂowing from this decision sort themselves out. There are outstanding questions: what happens to overlapping land claims when it comes to establishing title is an example of just one.

However, while the B.C. government and many companies doing business here are aware of this, the trouble is that many outside interests are not, and they (i.e. potential capital investors) may well be thinking that the sky has indeed fallen, particularly if they pay more attention to media coverage than legal analyses.

In the meantime, it may be wise and prudent for any natural resource developer to secure the support, if not the outright partnership, of First Nations before proceeding - which is often the case today anyway. While there’s no doubt the Supreme Court decision is historic and signiﬁcant, British Columbia has been moving in the decision’s direction for some time now. The sky is not falling folks, but it may have some storm clouds for a while.

City council discusses hospital plans LGH looks to future as city forecasts population growth

MARIA SPITALE-LEISK Contributing writer

Vancouver Coastal Health is looking to keep pace with the aging population, pledging to increase capacity, possibly through a new acute patient tower, at Lions Gate Hospital over the next decade. Short-term plans include enhancements to surgical and outpatient programs at the hospital, Andre Kroeger, director of strategic planning for VCH, told North Vancouver city council Monday. “In the next coming years you are going to see further advancements within what we call our most critical areas,” said Kroeger. LGH is entering “quite a different realm,” added Kroeger, explaining how the hospital is transitioning into a health-care and education hub not only for North Shore residents, but also the entire coastal community up to Bella Bella. But there are some growing pains that Lions Gate and VCH are contending with. “So this

is all part of a two-way sort of struggle. One, in that we have a number of facilities that are challenged with aging infrastructure,” said Kroeger. Cascading waterfalls on the exterior of the buildings, along with a host of other operational problems including electrical issues and elevator outages have become commonplace at the hospital, according to VCH. The campus’s cramped facilities also do not allow for technology upgrades. Looking towards the future, the plan is for Lions Gate to accommodate a population density increase projected for the city in the ofﬁcial community plan to be approved later this year. Coun. Rod Clark questioned VCH on how it plans to address a need for more hospital beds on the North Shore. Leanne Appleton, LGH’s acute care services director, who was also on hand Monday, said more beds, including privates ones, will be needed. “But also a shift from acute to community,” added Appleton. “More and more

EZ^ ia6^ :^S13^' eji#2 -*01^ T^S1-U Z^-U1Z ]-*XUX1b' S^-32 *8T6U^1X8S2 we will be wrapping our arms around patients and putting more emphasis on services in their own home, and trying to keep them in their home as long as possible before accessing acute services.” At the meeting, Clark encouraged VCH to continue talks with Lonsdale Energy Corp. about providing heat to the hospital, before broaching the perennial

parking problem on the streets around Lions Gate. “The parking situation at Lions Gate with respect to employees impacts a very great area ... so anything you can do to keep your own employees within the campus during the day would be welcome,” said Clark. Coun. Don Bell asked about the advantages of being a hub hospital. Kroeger said Lions Gate

_iaEa MIKE WAKEFIELD

would be able to retain doctors, specialists and qualiﬁed nursing staff in the community. Coun. Pam Bookham queried if there were plans to replace any of the 60-yearold buildings. Kroeger revealed there are ongoing capital planning discussions within VCH, with respect to Lions Gate. “As you can appreciate, there is a provincial process to prioritize those

investments because there are hospitals all over the province competing for those sort of large multimillion dollar investments,” he said. As for the possible redevelopment of Evergreen House — a long-term care facility adjacent to the hospital — Kroeger said it is an area being reviewed. “It’s still very formative. In fact,Vancouver Coastal Health is just in the process of putting out a request for qualiﬁcations and expression of interest on residential care renewal across the North Shore,” explained Kroeger. Bookham concluded council’s LGH discussion by asking: “So is it fair to say that for the next decade you will be renovating the existing building, but not undertaking any major new construction? “We certainly hope there will be major construction during the next decade,” responded Kroeger, using the example of a new acute patient tower, subject to provincial approval. Lions Gate recently received signiﬁcant upgrades, including a new endoscopy clinic.The $62-million HOpe Centre for Mental Health and Addictions is set to open this fall.

New school 4 yrs away From page 3 years for construction, a new school is at least four years away — after it’s approved. School trustee Barry Forward said he’s not happy about delays in getting the project off the ground. “Someone entering Grade 8 (this year) will never see a new school,” he said. Forward added that since earthquake risk is one of the compelling reasons for the new school, every delay means “another year we’re putting (students) in a substandard facility.” Another potential stumbling block for the project is a provincial policy announced this spring requiring all school districts running a surplus to contribute up to half of the cost of new capital projects if they have cash.

Up until now, the province has funded major school capital projects. Since then, the North Vancouver Board of Education has written to the province, asking the Minister of Finance to repeal that decision. Allison said she doesn’t know if the province will be asking the school board to come up with more cash under that policy. Forward said the policy amounts to the province penalizing school districts that have been ﬁnancially responsible instead of properly funding projects. “We are one of the ﬁnancially sound school districts in the province,” he said. “When’s the province stepping in? “This is about public education.You either fund our infrastructure or you don’t.”

City staff recommend densification along transit routes From page 1 of community development, Gary Penway said staff are recommending places to add densiﬁcation along transit routes, consistent with Metro Vancouver’s regional plan and TransLink’s area transit plan, which envisions rapid transit for the area. Bell countered that the city should be focusing that growth elsewhere. “I really think that we need to sort of slow down on growth and focus it where we know transit is now, not where it’s

going to be. For me, that’s Lonsdale corridor, that’s Marine Drive,” Bell said. When the dust settled, council — with the absence of Coun. Craig Keating — approved the low-density, mixed housing for the area. Mike Wise, who lives south of East Third Street, told the News he was disappointed with council’s recommendation, given consultation and support for density in the area. “Some members of council are not listening to the people that participated

in the OCP process,” he said. Council also reigned in growth prospects in the central Lonsdale area with the potential to only build to six-storey buildings approved on the east and north side of East 15th Street near Lions Gate Hospital. “There have been a number of changes in the neighbourhood — and I think we need some breathing room, and this achieves that,” said Coun. Rod Clark. Looking at proposed OCP changes for Lonsdale between 17th and 21st

streets including the London Drugs site, Mussatto said he wanted to see allowances for up to 15 storeys instead of eight. That area is adjacent to the Harry Jerome Recreation Centre property, which has sat in limbo in recent years, awaiting redevelopment plans. Coun. Pam Bookham said if council decides that a tower is the best way to fund the redevelopment of Harry Jerome, it makes sense that the adjacent London Drugs site be considered for a

similar form of development. However, Bookham did not want council to commit to a higher height designation in the interim. “I don’t want to write into the OCP at this time until we make that decision about Harry Jerome,” she said. Council also eliminated the potential for singlefamily homeowners to build both a secondary suite and a coach house. The 100-block of West Esplanade, known as Site 8, will be a special study area with a proposed height

Impawsibly Fun

restriction of eight storeys, though Mussatto and Buchanan argued the lot could handle 13. “When we are sitting one block from the water I think some people would prefer to go perhaps a bit taller and slimmer to keep those view corridors,” Buchanan said. The draft OCP is expected to be in front of council for ﬁrst reading on July 21. A public hearing has been tentatively scheduled for Sept. 29, with adoption of the OCP anticipated by the end of October.

Rich Hope asks ‘Are you ready for the country?’

The real deal ■ Rich Hope and His Blue Rich Rangers perform free outdoor show tonight in EdgemontVillage from 7 to 9 p.m. STEFANIA SECCIA ContributingWriter

Rich Hope and His Blue Rich Rangers are heading to EdgemontVillage tonight, and they’re “not particularly polite about their country” music. “It’s the full country experience,” Hope says. “It’s really a whole lot of rock’n’roll.We come from theWaylon Jennings school of playing country music, which is let your hair down and have some fun.” Hope is part of the Summer Concert Series unfolding at EdgemontVillage, Panorama Park in Deep Cove and LynnValleyVillage every Friday from 7 to 9 p.m. this summer. And for tonight’s show, he says the audience should expect a whole lot of fun. “You always want it to be intimate in the sense that even if it’s outdoors and big, or in a club and

small, that people are just responding to what you’re doing,” he says. Hope’s band, His Blue Rich Rangers, is comprised of honky tonk players such as Scott Smith, the “hottest pedal steel man around,” Ben Laborie, on rhythm guitar, Erik Nielson on bass, and Adrian Mack, Hope’s drummer for the last 15 years. “We wanted it to be organic,” Hope says about his team of musicians. “It’s really, for all intents and purposes, a cover band because we just wanted to play old country music because we love it.” But after playing together for long enough, they ended up writing their own new material as well. “We’ve got a bunch of originals we do now, but we never really wanted it to be a thing where we had to get together two or three nights a week because no one has that time,” he says, noting the band will get together right before the show or a few days before. “It’s just to keep everybody together, but mostly it stays pretty organic like that, and that’s what also keeps it really fun.You hardly ever get sick of songs.We’ve got at least two shows worth of songs now.”

The band’s influences aren’t from too much of a bygone era either, but Hope says the first things he ever remembers hearing is from his dad’s car, which pumpedWillie Nelson andWaylon Jennings. “You naturally just eventually find your own voice more and more as you keep going, both literally and figuratively,” he says about his band’s musical influences. “You learn to be yourself and obviously you evolve in a culmination of your influences as you listen to music and different music.You might find yourself getting into different things.” As for Hope’s sound, he says his taste for country has come full circle. “It’s always been a part of me,” he says. “And for years, when I was in my 20s, I don’t know that I shunned it, but I sure was kind of tired of it. I listened to a lot of different music and I’ve been going back to that now for the last 10 years for sure.” The concert series is put on by the North Vancouver Recreation and Culture Commission, See Concert page 25

Begin Again sticks close to formula ■ Begin Again.Written and directed by John Carney. Starring Keira Knightley, Mark Ruffalo and Adam Levine. Rating: 7 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD ContributingWriter

Once was the 2006 surprise hit ﬁlm that netted Oscar nominations for best song and a Broadway stage production, despite the fact that it starred relative nobodies in the lead role and was so mellow that it made you wish you’d brought that crocheted afghan from home into the theatre. Director-screenwriter John Carney is aiming for the same vibe with Begin Again, which features a similar storyline about lost souls who ﬁnd each other through the power of music. Even the movie posters look similar: long shot down a city street; couple gazing at each other; guitar case, hipster cross-body messenger bag. See NewYork page 29

PREVENTING EATING DISORDERS AMONG YOUTH IN OUR COMMUNITY Have you ever looked in the mirror and not liked what you’ve seen? You are not alone. We all have days when we feel uncomfortable in our bodies and feel the pressure to measure up to the way celebrities and models look. About one-tenth of the population is thought to be living with an eating disorder and research tells us that 81% of 10 year olds are afraid of being fat and 98% of females are unhappy with their bodies.

THEATRE

Firecracker Fiona not like the others Strong character a positive role model for princesses everywhere ■ Theatre Under the Stars presents Shrek: The Musical and Legally Blonde:The Musical, July 11 to Aug. 23 at the Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park. Tickets: $20-45 at 604-696-4295 or tuts.ca. CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

When the ﬁrst Shrek movie hit theatres in 2001, Lindsay Warnock was 10 years old and an instant mega-fan of the green ogre and his fairytale friends. She was especially fond of the feisty leading lady, Princess Fiona, who has a very un-princess-like temperament and who, like Warnock, is a natural redhead. “I really connect with

Princess Fiona personally. She was always my favourite princess growing up because she wasn’t like all the other ones,”Warnock says. So, to have landed the role of Fiona in this summer’s Theatre Under the Stars presentation of Shrek: The Musical is an exciting opportunity for the 22year-old North Vancouver resident. “It’s really special for me to represent a red-headed princess that is kind of a ﬁrecracker,” she says. This season,TUTS presents Shrek and Legally Blonde:The Musical — the latter back by popular demand after a successful 2013 run — at the Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park. Directed by Sarah Rodgers, the musical version of Shrek is based on both

the animated DreamWorks ﬁlm and the 1990 children’s picture book by William Steig.The story follows a green swamp-dwelling ogre named Shrek (played by Matt Palmer) and his loyal sidekick Donkey (Ken Overbey) as they embark on a quest to rescue Princess Fiona from a dragonguarded castle. “Princess Fiona does everything,”Warnock says of her character. “She sings, she dances, she plays the damsel in distress, but she also kicks butt at the same time. She goes through such an amazing journey throughout the show and it’s so fun to show that and make it come alive for the audience.” Fans of the movie can expect to hear many familiar gags and one-liners, with the addition of plenty of singing and dancing.Warnock says the musical also offers some extra back story. For example, the audience will ﬁnd out why Lord Farquaad

is so small and will learn more about Fiona’s life before her rescue. “They can expect all the same laughs they had during the movie, plus even more,” she says. “There are hilarious bits that they have added to this musical that really make it just a blast.” One of her favourite numbers to perform is “I Think I GotYou Beat” in which Fiona and Shrek try to one-up each other in comparing their unhappy childhoods — an exercise that eventually devolves into a fart-off. “It’s so funny and so much fun to do,”Warnock says. Beneath all the jokes, Warnock says the show conveys the same point as the children’s book and the movie: “Everyone is different, and it’s OK to be different.” “It has this really heartwarming message,” she See TUTS page 17

In addition, she says Fiona is a positive role model for both girls and boys.While strong-headed female leads are becoming much more the norm in kids’ movies (think Brave and Frozen),Warnock believes it was Fiona who really kicked things off. “I feel like she was the one that really started that new wave of ﬁery, doesn’ttake-no-for-an-answer kind of princesses.” Warnock completed the three-year musical theatre diploma at Capilano University and just graduated this spring from

the subsequent bachelor of performing arts program. She made herTUTS debut in 2011, playing keyboard in the orchestra pit for Bye Bye Birdie.The following season she played EthelToffelmier in The Music Man — a role that earned her the E.V.Young Award for Most Outstanding Performance. Despite being vulnerable to inclement weather and hungry mosquitoes, she says being on the outdoor Malkin Bowl stage is like no other acting gig. “It’s totally worth it to perform in front of the sunset,” she says. “It truly is a beautiful experience to have everyone there with blankets — and sometimes ponchos for the rain — and enjoying a night of theatre outside.”

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

FASHION FILE Our weekly roundup of fashion and beauty events and activities. page 20

West Vancouver resident Kjaer Pedersen has been an artist and a clothinglover her whole life, but it was only four years ago that she decided to focus her creative talents on fashion. “I didn’t know I could sew. I had no desire to sew previous to that,” she says. While she had little experience with a needle and thread, she was certainly no stranger to the garment business. Her mother, an accomplished seamstress, and her father, a master tailor trained in Denmark, owned a clothing store when she was growing up. Pedersen went out and bought her first sewing machine because she wanted to create clothing that would flatter women of all shapes and sizes. She was first motivated to launch a collection of ladies’ wear when her own body unexpectedly transformed after she quit smoking and she could no longer shop in all the same stores she once had. “To be honest, I had gained some weight and I just wasn’t finding the joy of clothing as I once did and that’s when I thought, ‘You know what, I think that I could do it.’ And lo and behold I could, and I did.” The result of her efforts is K-O.ME (pronounced

Pedersen cuts her fabrics freehand — experimenting with shapes, angles and draping to achieve the most flattering fit — and sews everything herself in her home studio. Her collection includes jackets, tunics, dresses and more, which range in price from $59 to $189, depending on the fabric used and the

labour involved. “If I had my way, it would be almost all silk and bamboo and natural ﬁbres, but I do a lot of polyester too because there’s some . . . fabulous fabrics out there on the market, plus I can make the price a lot lower,” she says. Ultimately, Pedersen wants women to look and feel their very best when they slip into a K.O.-ME original — and based on

customer feedback, that seems to be the case. “They really do feel fabulous,” she says. “I get a lot of returning customers, I have people that are always writing me and telling me how wonderful they feel.” Her predominant market is women aged 40-plus, but sales are not limited to that demographic. “I still have 20 and 30 year olds, and even

sometimes teens, so, I mean, it does appeal to everyone because there’s such a variety. Everything’s different.” Today, Pedersen’s personal wardrobe consists mainly of her own creations, so she’s a walking billboard for her brand when she’s out and about. “I ﬁgure if I’m going to walk around and get See Designs page 21

Scarves add flourish 50 Ways to Wear a Scarf by Lauren Freidman (Chronicle Books, 128 pages) $18.95 TERRY PETERS tpeters@nsnews.com

Once banished to the winter wardrobe only to be pulled out to warm the neck on a cold day, scarves have made a comeback. The modern wardrobe will include a variety of them in different sizes that will transport your look to another level. Author Lauren Friedman says in her introduction, “a scarf is the last ﬂourish, the exclamation point to the daily narrative of getting dressed, and it has the ability to truly make an outﬁt.” Using colour illustrations that are as elegantly presented as the scarves themselves,

Fashion File BOUTIQUE ON THE MOVE After 10 years in the Village at Park Royal, Kiss and Makeup beauty and fashion boutique will close its doors on July 31 and relocate to 1760 Lonsdale Ave., North Vancouver as of Aug. 1. Fans of the shop will ﬁnd many of the same brands, plus a few new ones. The boutique will mark its move with a warehouse sale at its West Vancouver shop July 24 to 31. Stay in the loop at kissandmakeup.ca

Friedman offers a description and how-to lesson for 50 different looks. Each one is shown with an appropriate wardrobe choice and then on the facing page is featured in a series of step-by-step drawings with instructions to how to create that look. Classic styles named the

square, the ascot, the drape and the easy breezy all offer a bright and accessible link to reinvented looks. Other techniques bring an uptown look to simple outﬁts. Friedman has done an exceptional job at both the beautiful illustrations and the easy-to-follow instructions for each one.

Designs will be featured at Lady Gaga after-party From page 19 compliments, it might as well be for my clothing,” she laughs. Pedersen spent 30 years teaching in the public school system and, as an artist, she has worked in a number of different mediums, including charcoal and clay. She was the artist-in-residence in Maple Ridge for several years, but her current focus is on cloth and her K.OME designs.

The garments are sold at select craft markets (including the upcoming Circle Craft outdoor summer market, July 24-27 at Jack Poole Plaza in Vancouver), as well as home parties, pop-up shops and on Etsy (etsy. com/shop/kayohme). Looking ahead, there is big excitement on the horizon for Pedersen. She is one of four designers who have been selected to showcase their fashions on the runway at the ofﬁcial

Lady Gaga after-party when the popstar comes to Vancouver in early August. Pedersen has also been asked to design a piece for both Lady Gaga and her famous friend Lady Starlight. In the meantime, the designer is hoping to exhibit her pieces in more fashion shows, and says she’d love to help charities in the process. “There’s so many women’s groups that are trying to raise money, so if

they’re having a luncheon, they could invite me and I would give them part of my proﬁts for their fundraising,” she says. The second annual Bikes Against Bullies rally in honour of Amanda Todd is set for Sunday, July 27 and Pedersen has donated a silk jacket for the fundraising auction. She will also donate part of her proceeds from her Circle Craft sales that day when customers mention the name Amanda Todd.

From page 13 which is in its 22nd year in Deep Cove, 16th year in Edgemont and seventh year in LynnValley, according to Anne Rodgers, communications specialist for the commission. “One of the strengths of the program is that there is great support from the communities and the businesses in the areas,” Rodgers says. “They often do displays and add some more excitement to the events.There’s always lots of dancing.There’s 800 to 1,400 people at each event, so it’s really high energy.” Rodgers says Edgemont Village has a new feature this year, as well, which is in the event of rain, instead of being cancelled, the show will move to Highlands United Church. “(It’s) right in the heart of EdgemontVillage,” she notes. “It’s really nice to have that plan in place.” Rodgers says the key message is that there’s plenty to do in NorthVancouver this summer. “It’s the community’s favourite thing to do on a Friday night,” she adds about the annual concert series. Hope is also playing the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival Aug. 9. For more information visit richhope. com. For more info on the concert series go to northvanrec.com.

New York subs in for Dublin From page 15 This time around, however, the formula has been tweaked to feature A-list stars (Keira Knightley, Mark Ruffalo), a more U.S. audience-friendly locale (NewYork City instead of Dublin) and a bigger production budget, none of which results in a markedly superior ﬁlm. It’s pleasant, but well short of amazing. Dan (Ruffalo) is a record exec trying to drown out reminders of his very bad day. Half cut at a bar in the East Village, he is one of the only patrons who hears Gretta (Knightley) gamely crooning onstage, trying to drown out ambient chatter and kitchen noises. Pretty brave, actually, for a woman used to singing only for her cat. Immediately Dan imagines how Gretta’s tune could hit big with added accompaniment, not to mention how she might be able to get him his job back. “I was having a nervous breakdown, and then I heard your song — I want to make

records with you.” Gretta is not so easily convinced: she had been plotting her return to the U.K. after her risingstar boyfriend (first-time actor but big-deal musician Adam Levine) cheated on her. But Dan plans to get her song heard, and failing that, convinces her to record a whole album on the various streets of the Big Apple, “every song — in a different location”. As the title suggests, several relationships need new starts or definitive endings, including the ones between Dan and his estranged wife (Catherine Keener), between Dan and his teenaged daughter (Hailee Steinfeld), and between Gretta and her cheatin’ beau Dave. The story is unremarkable and contains few surprises. But credit goes to Carney for once again crafting another “nice” film, one that earnestly believes in the transformative power of notes and lyrics.The original title of the film was Can A Song SaveYour Life (changed after last year’s

presents:

Toronto International Film Festival), which gives you some idea of Carney’s endearing optimism. The film is greatly enhanced by some fine supporting actors, notably Keener (always great), Mos Def in a brief turn as Dan’s business partner, and Brit actor James Corden as Gretta’s wise-cracking friend and saviour. And Maroon 5 fans can rest easy knowing that their frontman Levine is actually pretty great in his first feature film role (his song “Lost Stars” is also featured on the soundtrack). The other big question? Knightley turns out to be a decent singer and guitarist (she was reportedly coached by her husband, Klaxons vocalist James Righton). Too bad her character just isn’t especially remarkable. More character study, story depth and less music montages would’ve made all the difference. Begin Again is a nice film, endearing and easy-listening, but with none of the depth of feeling that made Once a smash hit.

2014 Mini Cooper S

Upscale hatchback stays true BRENDAN MCALEER Contributing writer

My editor will likely change this for stylistic reasons, but all you really need to know about the modern interpretation of the Mini, is that now they spell it MINI. That’s all-caps, bold if

you can, and the largest font available on the toolbar. Park the original 1960s version next to this current new model, and it’s like watching Harry Potter have a chat with Hagrid. Where once the Mini Cooper’s deft, nimble handling came as a direct result of a

stripped-down, deceptively simple mission statement, now it’s a complex bit of engineering, incorporating any number of BMW technologies. Newly redesigned for 2014, the Mini Cooper S is even bigger and more powerful, and you immediately have to ask the question: but does that

really make it better? Are we not drifting ever further away from the roots of what made this car such an icon — the essential character that made it worth resurrecting the Mini as a retro-designed upscale hatchback? Not to worry: while this new car displays a new level of polish and poise,

it’s still got the same bones underneath.You just have to know where to look. Design Don’t start by looking it in the face. While some still herald the Mini’s design as “cute,” the new Cooper S is most See Mini’s page 37

definitely dialling up the style in an effort to lose that very image. It’s still got a recognizable roundeyed gaze, but the blackedout grille and extra venting makes this little car just that more aggressive. To be perfectly frank, I thought the old one looked just fine, and wish they hadn’t messed with it (I miss the hood scoop). Having said that, the new available LED headlights give the Cooper a more modern look, and despite being 114 millimetres longer, 44 mm wider, and seven mm higher, it doesn’t actually seem much larger. Start parking next to cars from the 1960s, and the Cooper looks huge, but judge it against its contemporaries and it’s still fairly small. From other angles, the style will really depend on your own choices. Like Porsche, only at a greatly reduced price, Mini will let you fiddle around with the visual options on your Cooper S until you get a combination that fits your personality. Seventeeninch alloys on this particular week’s tester were a $740 option, but stuff like hood stripes are a bit more reasonable at $130. Make mine British racing green please.

Environment While the Mini’s new exterior can be argued to be a change rather than an improvement, no such quibbles exist about its new interior. It’s more spacious, it’s less cutesy, and there’s a much higher premium feel. The trunk — sorry, the boot — is still quite small, but this is a Mini: what’d you expect? The biggest change is the elimination of

the centrally mounted speedometer, a visual throwback to the original Mini that combined retro-chic style with a total lack of actual functionality. Happily, most previous Minis had a digital speedometer on the steering-column-mounted tachometer, as the dash speedo only really told your passengers what you were up to. Now, that speedometer is replaced by a ring of LEDs that light up just like a tachometer when you turn up the stereo, as well as a large and useful multi-function display. If you’ve optioned the navigation system, you get the same navi layout that you’ll find in a BMW 3series, including the same circular controller with a touchscreen surface that lets you enter character inputs with a touch of your finger. With the tachometer and speedometer now mounted right in front of the driver, the Mini’s ergonomics are now hugely improved, and the fit and finish of all the materials in here is very good. The character’s still there too, with the aircraftstyle switches tucked just under the centre display. With the window controls now moved up to a more conventional place on the doors, the main feature of the toggles is now a bright red starter switch. With a flick, the Cooper S grumbles to life. Here we go!

Features Mini’s old sales model echoed their BMW parent company to a fault — you can have anything you want, you’ve just got to pay for it. Sometimes, that meant eyewatering pricetags displaying numbers that would fetch you a very well-equipped rear-drive “proper” sportscar. While the nomenclature of the new options packages might confuse — there are, for instance, several levels above “Loaded” — the options grouping is fairly sensible. Spec an automatic transmission and the navigation package, and you’ve got yourself a great little sporty city car for under $30K. Keep it to just the sport suspension and a couple of stripes on the hood, and you’ve got an enthusiast-pleaser for about the same price. Fuel economy is also good, and note that

zippy, enthusiastic driving experience, and when shod with the optional performance summer tires, it’s a very eager car. A new rev-matching throttle won’t please purists who’d rather rely on their own skills, but it’s at least very unobtrusive. Even though there’s good low-end grunt, BMW’s engineers have done a very good job of taming any front-wheeldrive torque-steer until it’s practically invisible. The Cooper S darts into the corners eagerly, with a quick turn-in that seems unaffected by its new, longer wheelbase, and then scampers out of the other side. It’s still got that puppy-dog enthusiasm, just that the puppy’s been to obedience school. The ride remains very much on the ﬁrm side, but is more compliant than previously. Mini likes to brag about “go-kart” handling, but thankfully this car doesn’t skip over the bumps the way a real go-kart would. Instead, you settle into the nicelybolstered seats and get just enough of a connected feel through the seat of your pants to have a fun drive that’s not exhausting. Hit the highway, and the new Cooper S’s greater low-end power makes it an entirely reasonable

Celebrating B.C.’s Classic Car Day If you’re free this Saturday morning, July 12, pop on over to the Park & Tilford parking lot, and check out some sweet classic rides. Local adventure crew Classic Car Adventures — whose name is a dead giveaway — are hosting a Cars and Coffee event to celebrate B.C.’s first annual Collector Car Day. Actually, this whole sunny month of July is now dedicated to collectible cars, thanks to an official proclamation issued by the B.C. government in April. The mix you’ll see this Saturday is bound to be eclectic and certainly interesting. Not your average touring group, CCA’s events are always a heterogenous affair, with concours-quality 911s rubbing shoulders with ratty old Vee-Dubs. Not to mention the ex-rally Saabs, Mini Mokes, classic Aston Martins and all sorts of other scrumptious delights. This informal event starts at 8 a.m., and no car nut will be turned away. Bring your ride along if it’s something interesting, or just park the minivan a few spots over and let the kids check out a few blasts from the past. It’s the perfect way to spend a cool B.C. morning before whiling away the day in the backyard hammock, dreaming of all the cars you’d fit in your imaginary garage. Volvo Pulls Wraps off 400 Horsepower Hybrid And now, before we get too much into moaning about how modern cars don’t have the spirit and character of the classics, here’s Volvo to show just how good the modern car can be. Never mind the boxy, reliable and safe machines of the past, here’s a clean running hybrid 2.0-litre fourbanger pumping out 400 horsepower and 472 footpounds of torque. Holy Swedish Meatballs! Rumoured to be the drivetrain for the new XC90 crossover, a favourite that was previously propelled by a

relatively thirsty Yamahadesigned V-8, the new engine employs all sorts of technology, including a twin-charger setup that uses both a turbocharger and supercharger to force air into the 2.0-litre engine. Front wheels are powered by the forcedinduction engine, while the rears are propelled by an 80 h.p. electric engine that should allow the XC90 to travel approximately 40 kilometres on electric-only power. Plug-in capabilities should be available, at least overseas, and the new car will likely be equipped with Volvo’s full suite of safety technologies. What’s more, if the drop-dead gorgeous Concept Estate is anything to go by, this XC could lead a revolution in Volvo styling as well. Bring on the future. Sportscar Designers Wanted United States-based Local Motors attracted a great deal of attention and/or scepticism for their crowd-sourced Rally Fighter, right up until the curvy off-roader hit the desert. It lived up to the hype and then some. It was just the ﬁrst step for the company, which has since used the same distributed-intelligence format to come up with less commercially viable (but still fun) ideas like a tricycle set up for drifting, and a tiny futuristic pizza-delivery machine. Now they’re working on a sportscar. The essential ingredients sound very tasty indeed: a turbocharged fourcylinder making 200 h.p., rear-wheel-drive and independent suspension all around. A manual transmission is also on the spec sheet, and two versions are planned: one track-focused example without sheetmetal (like a naked sportbike), and one set up for the street. Given how good the Rally Fighter is, this new machine could be the real deal. Check out Local Motors website to see how you can participate. Most Powerful Mini Cooper Coming See Automaker page 42

Spotted testing at the Nürburgring, the newest version of Mini’s new Cooper is now rumoured to be making 230 h.p. from its 2.0-litre turbocharged engine. Given how much more pep the chassis of the Cooper S I drove last week felt like it could handle, that’s a very good thing indeed. Mini has traditionally reserved the John Cooper Works badge for its most-powerful and mostexpensive variants, the JCW Cooper will likely get even stiffer suspension and a growlier exhaust. Sure, it’s a bit bigger than the old car, but the polish and livability of the new Cooper is about to be tested to its limits. How shall I put this delicately? Um, hooray!

until a half-decade from hence, but BMW recently announced plans for a billion-dollar factory to be built in Mexico. Inexpensive land and labour has already lured VW to invest deeply in their long-standing Puebla plant, and NAFTA trade laws make it even more lucrative for companies to build cars for the United States market south of the border. What’ll they build? Likely, the 3, the 1, and some of the Mini lineup will be hecho en Mexico. How will purists react? With torches and roundel-branded pitchforks, of course, but as BMW strives to become an even bigger automaker producing every conceivable niche vehicle possible, it’s a move towards volume.

New 2014 model is still a proper Mini From page 38 this new Mini is being launched right at the changeover where quoted figures are getting 10 to 15 per cent worse thanks to more accurate testing measures. Officially reported figures from Transport Canada are 8.1 litres/100 kilometres in the city and 5.2 l/100 km highway. More realistically, you can expect to see mid-8.0 l/100 km results in mixed driving. Compared to other small turbocharged hatchbacks, that’s actually quite impressive.

Competitors Fiesta ST ($24,995) When it comes to scrappy little front-drive hatchbacks, the Fiesta ST is the one to beat. Powered by a 1.6-litre turbo powerplant that outmuscles the Cooper with less displacement, the Fiesta offers a raw driving experience that’s even more thrilling than the Mini. What’s more, if you keep the options light, it’s less expensive than the Cooper S — but not by much. The Mini claws back any dynamic advantage the Ford has by being a smoother overall driving experience, with a more premium feel, even if you don’t go nuts with the options list. mcaleeronwheels@gmail.com
