More homeless seniors, youth on our streets

Results of homeless count show rising number of unsheltered young and old BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

There may be fewer people bedding down each night without a proper home on the North Shore, but seniors and youth are becoming bigger portions of our homeless population. Those are some of the troubling ﬁndings in the ﬁnal report of the 2014 Metro Vancouver homeless count released last week. Every four years, volunteers from a number of social service agencies fan out over the Lower Mainland looking to count and interview people staying in shelters or on the streets. The count done in March this year found 119 people on the North Shore, down slightly from 122 in 2011 but

still a big step up from 90 in 2005. Twenty-four were under the age of 25 and 31 were over the age of 55. But the numbers in the count are probably much lower than the reality as it relies on volunteers physically meeting people who may be hard to ﬁnd. “Did we get everyone across the North Shore? No way. No how. That’s the reality of it but the count has interesting trends,” said Lynne Henshaw, co-ordinator of the North Shore Homelessness Task Force. “When you look at vulnerable populations like seniors and youth, that’s quite alarming.” While roughly half of those deﬁned as homeless are able to get some form of shelter, seniors still are worse off, according to the report. “This is a rising number and the most alarming thing about that is 23 of those 31 seniors were unsheltered so they were living in the bush or living somewhere that isn’t appropriate housing,” Henshaw said.

WV may have erred in call for LNG tanker ban: mayor JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

West Vancouver council was overly eager and at least a little confused in unanimously calling for a ban on liqueﬁed natural gas tankers July 21, according to Mayor Michael Smith. After a delegation warned that an LNG terminal in Squamish could turn Howe Sound into a “marine desert,” council deviated from their usual routine by petitioning the

federal government to bar LNG tankers from Howe Sound. Council ordinarily waits for a staff report before acting on a delegation’s request. “All blame lies at the feet of the chairman of the meeting,” Smith said. “My legendary impatience sometimes gets the better of me after over an hour of going around in circles on a debate.You get desperate to call a question, any question.” SeeWeston page 3

Why is Sterling Silver

Juicy Goodness!

Beef superior? Let us count the ways.

It’s the best of the best

Handpicked from the best of the highest grade of beef, Sterling Silver beef has more flavour than lower-quality beef, providing exceptional tenderness, juiciness and taste in every bite.

It’s Beautifully Marbled

Marbling is the white flecks of fat within the muscle that melt into the meat as it cooks, giving it succulent flavour and texture. Sterling Silver beef is highly marbled for superior taste and texture.

It’s aged just right

Sterling Silver cuts are aged no fewer than 21 days to maximize tenderness and richness of flavour.

BCTF, gov’t get back to bargaining

Teachers hopeful today’s talks will be turning point in months-long dispute

continues in September. The announcement came on the heels of the BC School Trustees Association requesting the government put all money saved in the strike into the Learning Improvement Fund. The BCSTA also called for the BCTF to bring their request for beneﬁts into the range of other public sector unions. Millard said he was in a state of disbelief when he heard about the $40 stipend, particularly during the calm of summer. “That money is a blank cheque,” he said. “Doesn’t necessarily have to go to daycare, doesn’t have to go to tutoring, it’s just a cheque.”

The move also evidenced a tough negotiating stance, he said. “It’s an indirect way of the government saying, ‘If you think any of the money we’re saving by you guys going on strike in September is going to be plowed back into the system to help you out, you’re wrong,’” he said. If Friday’s negotiation bears fruit, the BCTF bargaining team will bring the deal to teachers at a summer conference scheduled for Aug. 22 in Kamloops. Acknowledging the negotiation might “blow up in our faces,” Millard remained hopeful. “As long as they keep talking, there’s an opportunity,” he said.

Weston chastises council for motion

Double rescues keep NSR busy

Whether B.C. teachers are carrying pointers or picket signs on Sept. 2 may hinge on negotiations with the province scheduled for today. With less than a month before the ﬁrst day of school, West Vancouver teachers association president Rob Millard said he’s “cautiously optimistic” a deal can be reached. Both bargaining teams are slated to attend the meeting, which may be a sign of thaw in the frosty

relationship between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, according to Millard. “I don’t think they’d be meeting if there wasn’t some sort of understanding,” he said. The new deal needs to address the “big deterioration” in student resources over the years, according to North Vancouver Teachers’ Association President Carolyn Pena. “For teachers in North Van, really we want to know that there’s going to be supports in the classroom, that we’re not

going to see further and further cuts,” she said. Those cuts have resulted in fewer resources for students learning English as well as children with learning disabilities, according to Pena. Class size and composition are “the big money ticket,” according to Millard. “Even Minister of Education (Peter Fassbender) acknowledges that composition is a problem. He hasn’t quite got the class size thing down yet,” Millard said. What were homogenous classrooms 20 years ago have become a complex “mixed bag,” according to Millard. “It’s a constant struggle to make sure that nobody’s

falling behind,” he said, citing dozens of West Van educators who assess the current situation as “unsustainable.” There may be “creative options” to alleviate teachers’ composition concerns, according to Pena. “Class size and composition demands are negotiable,” Millard said. A “reasonable salary increase” is also important for many teachers, according to Pena. “Especially for teachers in North Van, we face a really high cost of living,” she said. Last week, the province rolled out a plan to pay $40 to parents with children under age 13 for each day the strike

From page 1 Council passed the motion unanimously, but there was some bewilderment as to what was being debated. “I didn’t know what we voted for,” said Coun. Craig Cameron. “This is probably the only vote that I’ve been embarrassed about in three years on council.” Smith, Cameron and Coun. Trish Panz said there was confusion regarding the motion. Prior to the meeting, the plan was to request West Vancouver take part in any environmental assessment or working group related to the LNG terminal. During the 30-minute debate that followed the presentation, the resolution grew to include voicing concerns to the Environmental Assessment Ofﬁce and requesting the federal government for an LNG tanker ban in Howe Sound. “We ultimately didn’t follow due process,” Cameron said, discussing the charged atmosphere in chambers that evening. “These are billion dollar projects and we can’t be (making decisions) based on emotion,” he said. Council is slated to revisit the issue Sept. 8 or 15, following a presentation from Woodﬁbre LNG — the company seeking to liquefy and export 2.1 million tonnes of LNG per year by 2017.

The company, part of Paciﬁc Oil and Gas, would annually ship 40 doublehulled tankers hauling LNG from the former pulp mill site southwest of downtown Squamish to Asia. The $1.7 billion facility has not yet entered its environmental assessment. Council’s decision raised the ire of John Weston, MP for West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country. “I disagree with the motion, the way it has been passed, and its timing,” Weston wrote. In an editorial that marks the ﬁrst time Weston has challenged one of West

Vancouver’s decisions, the MP chastised council for passing a motion based on assumptions rather than science. “It’s one thing to say, ‘No, not in my backyard.’ However, it’s something else to say, ‘No, not in someone else’s backyard,’” he wrote. Council likely overstepped their bounds, Panz agreed. “I wanted to caution everybody that the jurisdiction in Squamish is not ours to comment on,” she said. LNG is an alternative to coal that will bring economic growth to British Columbia, according to

hF=]gf; WOODFIBRE LNG

Weston. “If we are to pay for our teachers, our medical services, or welfare . . . we do need some level of economic growth,” he wrote. Council’s decision was rooted in legitimate concerns and strong community sentiment, according to Coun. Michael Lewis. While he is not adverse to more information, Lewis said bringing the topic back to chambers does not undercut council’s previous motion. “If anything, I think it will validate and re-enforce our resolve,” he said. The recent tailings

pond dam breach near Quesnel that resulted in billions of litres of mining wastewater seeping into waterways underscores the importance of strong environmental stewardship, according to Lewis. “How much traffic can you put in Howe Sound?” he asked. “Virtually every designated mooring spot for container traffic is full every night.” Panz also voiced reservations about LNG tankers in Howe Sound, mainly due to concerns about conflicts with recreational boaters and the navigational risk inherent in a long, inland waterway.

Where there’s smoke, there’s a lost hiker who should’ve called North Shore Rescue earlier. It was a busy weekend for NSR as teams scrambled a helicopter Saturday to give a lift to a hiker who’d made an unfortunate equipment choice. A pair of thin shoes with individual toes left the backcountry adventurer sore and possibly suffering from a sprained ankle, according to NSR spokesman Mike Danks. “He was in rough shape,” Danks said. “He was wearing those (barefoot sports shoes) and he was having a real tough time on the trail.” The shoes have been criticized by rescue agencies for not providing enough grip or stability, potentially leading to ankle injuries. North Shore Rescue managed to lift the tenderfoot and his friend out of a trail near Elsay Lake just before dark, but they didn’t have to wait long for their next call. While walking the Lynn Loop in Lynn Headwaters Park Saturday afternoon, a 38-year-old hiker feeling particularly exuberant decided to head north, losing his way at Norvan Falls. See Lost page 5

Lost hiker rescued near Norvan Falls From page 3 Unable to get a cellphone signal, the discombobulated rambler started scaling Coliseum Mountain. With afternoon fading, the Burnaby man called his brother and requested his family search for him if he wasn’t home in a few hours. After scouring Lynn Headwaters proved fruitless, the hiker’s family called the RCMP, who contacted NSR. With no solid information about the hiker’s whereabouts, NSR deployed teams along Lynn Loop and in the Seymour Demonstration Forest. “The one good thing he had was an additional battery for his phone, but that did not last very long because he was using (the phone) as a light,” Danks said. After two cellphone batteries burned out, the hiker started a campﬁre on the north side of Norvan Falls. It was about 2:45 a.m. when a NSR volunteer smelled the smoke and the

team reached him.The squad guided the man to safety shortly afterward. He had a sore knee but was otherwise OK, according to Danks. The hiker made the mistake of not calling NSR until the sun went down — which meant a more challenging search and more manpower, according to Danks. The incident is part of a troubling trend, according to the NSR spokesman. “We have these people going out and doing these hikes and they’re not registering at the trailheads,” Danks said. “It’s been happening a lot lately.” When there’s no trail to follow, NSR members end up questioning friends and family to ﬁnd out the errant hiker’s intended route, according to Danks. Hikers heading into the backcountry should pack a map, compass, phone, headlamp, matches, pocketknife, thermal tarp, ﬁrst-aid kid, food and water, according to NSR.

he short-term problems are horrible. The long-term problems are worse. The breach of a mine dump (re-branded a “tailings pond” for reasons that elude us) sent a 10-billionlitre torrent of water and sludge seeping into the waterways of the Cariboo. Despite Imperial Metals’ claim the liquid in the spill is a tad less refreshing than spring water, the residents of Quesnel and several other towns were skipping showers and buying bottled water this week. Imperial Metals knew its wastewater level was rising, but this is not our main concern. Asking an industry to self-regulate is like asking an addict to self-medicate. Our main concern is the Ministry of Environment saw the rising tide, issued a warning, and apparently were ignored. Instead of taking action that could

have averted a crisis, the company ﬁled an application to discharge more wastewater — and while the wheels of bureaucracy ground sluggishly, disaster struck. We are told the dam never failed before, but as we look at the future of B.C.’s economy, this fails to assure us. There’s a plan afoot for a liqueﬁed natural gas terminal in Squamish that would put huge tankers through Howe Sound.The company’s sales pitch includes the microscopic odds of a tanker going aground. It’s true that LNG tanker disasters and oil pipeline ruptures — much like wastewater dam breaches — are rare. But they can happen, and as long as our government ministries are treated like underlings rather than overseers, our future is as murky as Quesnel’s drinking water.

Diatribe lacks compassion

Dear Editor: Re. Burkas Pose Unsettling Questions, Aug. 3 Viewpoint Several aspects of Trevor Carolan’s latest diatribe against virtually “all things wrong in the west” reveals a limited knowledge of world events, both contemporary and historical, coupled with his evident rancour at issues that exceed the simple reductive solutions he appears to favour. His revisionist comments on the First World War attempt to place the rallying cry of universal freedom over top of a war itself set solely within the imperial ambitions of “old tyrannies.” The war “to be over by Christmas” was begun not to bring freedom to anyone anywhere, but simply to

enforce hegemony of rival empires of Germany, Britain, France and Turkey over other countries, few of whom experienced the actions or participation of those main players as being directed to their freedom and liberty. At its height, none of the main belligerents could themselves arrive at an understanding of why they had actually begun the blood-drenched futile sacriﬁce of their own young. The solution mandated by Britain and France (overseen by American naivety) and forecast by T.E. Lawrence (of Arabian fame), saw the outcome of the 1919 Paris “peace talks” that guaranteed there would be another, and even bloodier, replay twenty years later. Carolan’s attempts to now equate the First World War

CONTACTUS

debacle with freedom at its core, is to misidentify folly with design. Of more concern, in the contemporary context, is Carolan’s aversion to the appearance of a burka-wearing new immigrant.While advocating for “rocking in the free world,” Carolan appears ready to dictate the boundaries of that freedom to only that which is familiar to him. Surely the same ideals of freedom that Carolan maintains are at the core of his culture — I’m not sure it is the same as mine — has sufﬁcient capacity to anticipate the personal uncertainty and vulnerability that any immigrant experiences. It has been repeatedly shown that immigrants (aren’t we a nation of immigrants?) demonstrate

high degrees of adaptability, and in Canada at least, quickly meld into the broad fabric.That transition is accelerated when the immigrant is greeted with acceptance and compassion, rather than being shunned and isolated. Carolan needs to remember that while we may get the immigrant, it is Canada that gets their children.Who do we want those children to be? Such sentiments can be found in the lyrics of a ’60s ballad that Carolan, as a child of that era himself, should be able to identify with; “Teach your children well, their father’s hell did slowly go by, and feed them on your dreams, the one they ﬁx, the one you’ll know by.” Douglas Curran North Vancouver

Campfire ban is in place for good reason Dear Editor: I felt I needed to respond to a recent letter to the editor about not being allowed campfires in B.C. parks (It’s Not Really Camping Without a Campfire, July 27). For the past 11 years my family has camped in a jewel of a state park in Washington State, where indeed, there are campfire bans.We know that due to the risk of wildfires, we cannot have a wood campfire. Hence, this year, we purchased a propane campfire so we can enjoy the evenings in front of the flames (and roast marshmallows) without the threat of a wildfire. Unfortunately two weeks ago we were evacuated

from our beloved campsite due to a severe fire storm, caused by lightning. As we drove away, we saw the massive fire envelope the surrounding area.Two hours later, the campground was in flames, and almost completely destroyed, along with many homes in the area. Perhaps the writer should do as the Ministry of Forests has done, and carefully consider the potential for wildfires in our parks, and respect the decision to put a fire ban in place. Once a fire starts, for whatever reason, it’s potential for devastation is extreme. Sherry Heard West Vancouver

VIEWPOINT

B.C.’s teachers don’t deserve to go 20 weeks without pay How many people reading this column could go 20 weeks without a pay cheque, without seriously depleting your savings account or cashing in a significant amount of RRSP funds? I suspect not many people could, but that bleak scenario is precisely the one facing many teachers in B.C. as the summer progresses. The teachers were last paid in mid-June, or thereabouts.They may not see another pay cheque until mid-October, unless their union moves significantly off its bargaining position in contract talks. And yes, I say “union” quite deliberately.That’s because there is no way to pressure or force the government to accede to what the B.C.Teachers Federation is demanding at the negotiating table. This is not to say that what the BCTF is asking for is not warranted in some respects.Teachers have made a strong and compelling case, for example, that more funding is needed to address issues such as class composition. Hiring more specialist teachers, to pick just one area, would have a huge and positive impact on many classrooms. But for all the validity of some of the BCTF’s arguments (these don’t include the ones involving their demand for a greater benefits package) there is no reason at all to expect the provincial government to suddenly fork over almost a quarter of a billion dollars, which is what the BCTF is seeking to address class composition. I’m not the only observer to point out that in this poker game, the government

Keith Baldrey

View from the Ledge holds all the cards. Not just the best cards, but all of them. The government’s ability to legislate an end to the dispute and to impose a new contract gives it the whip hand.The BCTF may well challenge such a move in court, but that will take some time to play out if the union chooses to go down that route. The BCTF may eventually also ultimately win that ongoing court case

about contract language governing class size (it has won in the B.C. Supreme Court, but the government is appealing and a potential further appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada may mean this won’t be resolved for perhaps two more years). So unless the BCTF leadership crawls back from the edge of the cliff it has been sitting on for months now, the only question becomes one of timing. As in: when will the government impose that contract? In past disputes, the government has moved relatively quickly to end a strike by teachers, using the legislature to do so. Not this time. The government now realizes it has the BCTF just where it wants it. For the ﬁrst time ever, the union’s membership are paying a huge personal ﬁnancial price for staging a strike. And the teachers are paying that price

at the worst possible time. The fact the two-month summer break has landed smack in the middle of the strike exacerbates the cash ﬂow problems that can arise from going potentially more than four months without an income. Government House Leader Mike de Jong is adamant he won’t call the legislature back earlier than its Oct. 6 scheduled start, just to impose a contract. His surprise announcement of a $40-per-lost-schoolday-per-student rebate for parents would seem to buttress that point. If he sticks to his guns, the earliest date for an imposed contract to take effect would be Oct. 9 (it takes a minimum of three days to pass a bill into law). If teachers went back to work that day, presumably they wouldn’t be paid for two more weeks. It all adds up to about 20 weeks without a teacher being paid.The unfortunate

Mailbox

thing for teachers is that it is more than likely the imposed contract will contain pretty much what’s on the table now from the government, which means teachers will have given up thousands of dollars for nothing. I still think a negotiated deal is possible: the two sides are close on wage proposals, and if the BCTF staggered its argument for funding for class composition over several years, dropped most of its beneﬁts demands and agreed to put off any grievances until that court case is ultimately settled one way or another, a deal might be in sight. It might not be totally fair, and it may not give the teachers and their classrooms everything they deserve. But not many labour disputes end up giving everyone what they deserve, and in this case no one deserves to go without an income for 20 weeks. Keith.Baldrey@globalnews.ca

Moodyville letter skews the facts Dear Editor: Re: Moodyville Issue Not About ‘Cashing Out,’ Aug. 1 Mailbox (by letterwriter Suzanne Richardson) Some relevant facts: 1. Ms. Richardson does not live in Moodyville and is related to the chief proponents of a special interest group calling for a 300 to 400 per cent density increase in Moodyville. 2. I did not support the city’s purchase of a property on East First Street. 3. I will never apologize for added community consultation. As a city councillor, I have always made factbased decisions for the beneﬁt of the community as a whole. I am open, honest and forthright in those decisions. I will continue to be.

Youth safe house full From page 1

Teens and seniors face unique challenges when they’re homeless, said Nanette Taylor, executive director of Hollyburn Family Services, which does outreach for both groups. Youth should be spending their time developing life skills and getting an education to ensure they can support themselves in adulthood but those on the street often ﬁnd themselves just trying to survive, usually after running away from an abusive home,Taylor said. “At the youth safe house, for example, we increased the

beds but they’re full all the time.We’re turning youth away.” Even seniors who live comfortably in a home tend to seek out services, but connecting people with no ﬁxed address to those services they badly need is much harder. Taylor said it is shocking how many of the seniors she encounters had previously led comfortable, stable lives but were then knocked off course by circumstances out of their control. “A lot of those people are people who didn’t expect to ﬁnd themselves in those situations. Somebody dies.

Cougar sighted in Dollarton area BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Tsleil-Waututh Nation members andWindsor Park residents are being asked to keep an eye out and exercise caution after several recent cougar sightings. Band management first posted signs warning of the cougar last week. It has since been spotted as recently as early Wednesday morning near the park on Takaya Drive. Conservation officers have confirmed the sightings but say, since the cougar isn’t showing any odd or threatening behaviour, they won’t be setting up traps or hunting the cat just yet. “There are no previous reports alleging any threatening behaviour or anything like that…” said Sgt.Todd Hunter, conservation service spokesman. “Stuff that we would respond to and react

to remove the cougar from the population. Nothing suggests that at this time. We’re monitoring it closely. If something should happen and it provokes a response from us, we’ll definitely ramp it up.” In the meantime, the conservation officer is advising residents to walk in groups and keep children and pets close by. If you run into a cougar, make yourself look big by putting your hands above your head. Slowly back away and let the cougar know you know it’s there, telling it to keep away. “Never turn your back and run from a cougar. It invokes that flightand-attack response from cougars.Their normal prey is deer and deer run, right?” Hunter said. If you spot a cougar in a populated area, call the Ministry of Environment’s hotline, Hunter said. The number to call is 1877-952-7277.

Somebody leaves.They ﬁnd out where they thought they were covered, they weren’t,” she said. Taylor recently came across one senior who was diagnosed with cancer and then promptly evicted because the landlord “didn’t want them dying in their suite,” she said. “They ended up living in their truck.They had all kinds of medical expenses.Those kind of stories just knock me right out of the water.” Taylor said it is a myth that the North Shore is only home to welloff professionals who would never be at risk of

homelessness. “The reality is it isn’t true,” she said. “We’re humans and we are prone to screw our lives up.” Henshaw and Taylor agreed, one of the biggest exacerbating factors is the ever-increasing cost of housing in the Lower Mainland. Of the 1,831, people surveyed, “rent too high” was the second most commonly listed barrier to ﬁnding housing, at 42 per cent. Despite a boom in development across all three municipalities, very few of the new housing units are subsidized for low-income people, Henshaw said.

You can visit any one of West Vancouver’s beautiful beaches this sunny weekend, but don’t go in the water as E.coli counts remain at unsafe levels for human contact. That’s the latest message from Vancouver Coastal Health, which reviewed the latest batch of water samples taken from Ambleside, Dundarave, Eagle Harbour and Sandy Cove on Thursday afternoon.

Coliform counts have all gone up since VCH issued a warning on Aug. 1. Meto Vancouver has investigated and found “no anomalies” at the Lions Gate Wastewater Treatment Plant that would explain the high counts. The suspected cause is fecal matter being washed into the water with the previous week’s rain. Going in the water runs the risk of contracting gastrointestinal illness. Water quality testing is ongoing.

The nation has seen its fair share of sporting events but is the only G8 country that has not hosted a men’s world cup. When it comes to enthusiasm for the sport, British Columbians were not shy about donning their favourite team colours for the 2014 World Cup, and BC Soccer is the third largest provincial sport organization in Canada. Should Canada take on another large-scale sporting event? Have your say at nsnews.com. ( %""& $')!#"

Workers deserve a living wage Dear Editor: Re. Market Controls Workers’Wages in Our Economic System, June 22 Mailbox I would respectfully disagree with letter-writer Mr. Alan S.Wilson. In reality, this argument is about whether our adult children can afford their own place in today’s economy. There must be something wrong with our society when someone with a university bachelor of arts degree has to toil at fast food restaurants for a $7 minimum wage. It is nonsense of course if Mr. Wilson suggests, for the government to legislate a $30 per hour wage. However, if we cannot pay our young people a “living wage,” which would mean their own apartment, only the rich children get jobs in their parents companies and trust me their salary will be a lot more than minimum wage. There exists legislation in Seattle,Wash. to create a “living wage” to $15 within a number of years.This delay will hopefully give time to help businesses to set adjustment strategies. I can see a lot of positive signs will happen for the local businesses due to this change. First sign probably will be people moving out of ones parent’s home. Second, and the apartment industry would likely get a huge boost from this, is people will move into apartments, and because of that, will be able to buy furniture,TVs, maybe a car, etc. Even the government will beneﬁt from this with higher taxes

from everywhere where this policy is in effect. As it stands right now, that’s not going to happen, because none of these dreams are affordable for the regular university student with $30,000 student loans on his neck. It appears the ﬁnancial industry is interested in keeping students indebted instead of paying higher salaries. Most people understand how our market economy works, Mr.Wilson; however, it is totally irresponsible when we give executives gazillions of dollars. Don’t tell me anybody is worth $100 million annual salary. Nobody is! That is just plain greed, which will eventually destroy the North American economy. University of Kansas research assistant Arnobio Morelix found that if McDonalds were to double the salaries and beneﬁts of all of its employees, from the CEO down to the minimum wage cashiers, it would still only cost an extra 68 cents for a Big Mac, according to a new report. If I were to buy a McDonald burger, I would gladly pay 68 cents more if that helps to get our adult children into their own apartments. McDonalds leadership has tried to frame itself as a charitable “above minimum wage” employer. However, they are taking Seattle to court challenging the wage hike. Michael Stichnoth North Vancouver Editor’s note: Minimum wage in British Columbia is $10.25.

One might say it was providence that brought a little known opera to the attention of soprano Heather Pawsey. She was preparing for the Eckhardt-Gramatté National Music Competition in 1995 when The Lake literally fell into her presence. “I wanted to sing an aria from an opera so I went down to the Canadian Music Centre and I spent days just pulling scores off shelves,” says Pawsey, a music instructor at Capilano University. “One day this very big, handwritten score by Barbara Pentland, who’s a British Columbia composer, hit the desk and I opened it and I honestly can’t say why but I looked at the first page and I went ‘this is it and I’m going to have a really long history with this work.’” She went on to win the competition. The Lake was written in 1952 by Barbara Pentland and Dorothy Livesay, and is based on the real life story of Susan Allison and the events surrounding the first sighting of Ogopogo, or N-ha-a-itk. Allison and her husband John were the first Europeans to settle in the SimilkameenValley. Pawsey says the opera has never been performed, other than a radio debut in 1954 on CBC, and a student version in the 1990s by teacher and mentor, Phyllis Mailing. Astrolabe MusikTheatre is presenting the opera Aug. 15 to 17 at the Quails’ Gate Winery, with Pawsey in the role of Susan, who is nineSeeWinery page 22

Sexual abuse is one of the five areas of focus for Family Services of the North Shore’s Youth Leadership Advisory Board (YouthLAB). These 12 dedicated youth volunteers work with the Agency to learn about mental health issues and create effective outreach strategies for their peers, including YouTube videos, school presentations and a new grassroots “Stars and Sticky Notes” messaging campaign – like the star addressing the fear children suffering from abuse feel – that appeared in North Shore high schools this past year. With the help of YouthLAB more North Shore kids suffering from sexual abuse can reach out to get the help they need.

Thievery Corporation explore roots Electronica duo return to bossa nova on latest tracks

n SquamishValley Music Festival, Aug 8-10. For complete schedule go to squamishfestival.com. STEFANIA SECCIA sseccia@nsnews.com

Electronica is only limited by one’s own imagination, according to a band that’s been around almost as long as the genre itself. Thievery Corporation, comprised of Rob Garza and Eric Hilton, are among the worldwide performing artists who will take one of the four stages at the fifth annual SquamishValley Music Festival from Aug. 8 to 10.The duo will take the Stawamus Stage on Aug. 10, starting at 8:30 p.m. But it won’t be the first timeThievery Corporation has come to B.C. to perform their tracks, influenced by Jamaican dub reggae, punk, vintage film soundtracks, psychedelic space rock and everything else electronic. Garza and Hilton have had shows inWhistler,Vancouver andVancouver Island throughout the years. “We’re looking forward to heading up to B.C.,” Garza says. “We love it up there. We just love that part

But it was almost 20 years ago when Hilton and Garza met in a lounge and bonded over their mutual inclination for Brazilian bossa nova. “Right around that time

I was buying a lot of older Brazilian records and things like that when I met Eric Hilton,” Garza recalls. “We were just into talking about Brazilian music, jazz music, dub and reggae and music from India and incorporating it with electronic sounds.” It was 1995, and the two decided to open up their own studio to “see what happens,” Garza adds. Their own label, ESL

Music, and 20 album and EP releases later —Thievery Corporation has continued to explore the imaginative realm of electronica. “It’s been mainly mutual respect in terms of just (being) artists and individuals, you know?” Garza says about how the two have continued to make music through two decades. “It’s easier to come together in some ways because we’re

not four guys and we’re not doing the same thing all the time — each record we just look at it as a new project, as a new chapter — there’s always a new cast of characters. It keeps it more inspiring, in a way.” The latest album, Saudade, which is Portuguese for a “longing for something or someone that is lost, a contented melancholy, or, simply, the presence

of absence,” wasThievery Corporation bringing it back to its roots of bossa nova Brazilian music that they originally bonded over. “I think it’s a way of getting back to the records me and Eric were ﬁrst talking about when we ﬁrst met,” he notes. “The style we really appreciate. In a way, it’s a palate cleanser at this point. Whatever we decide to do next, we’ve cleared a lot of expectations and now we have a blank canvas.” For Garza, he’s always been attracted to electronic music since he took a course on it when he was a teenager in high school. “You’re really only limited by your own imagination with electronic music,” he says. “You don’t have to be a virtuoso instrumentalist or something like that, but, if you can imagine sounds and how they create the music with electronic instruments than it’s actually very liberating because there’s so much you can do.” Garza grew up in a household where a lot of old soul, Motown, rock and Latin music played on the airwaves. And he was always attracted to the sounds of synthesizers, sequencers, analog synths and drum machines. “When I was in ninth grade, I started studying piano because I wanted to learn more about music and have a little background,” See Squamish page 21

Bill Henderson’s reasons for performing at the upcoming Salish Sea Summer Gathering were personal, among others. “I was raised inYellow Point, which is onVancouver Island, it’s between Nanaimo and Ladysmith, it’s right on the Salish Sea,” says Henderson. “And I live on Saltspring Island now and I lived inVancouver most of my life when I wasn’t in the Southern Gulf Islands area, so it’s a part of my blood.” The lead singer of the legendaryVancouver band Chilliwack will be performing at the third annual event, hosted by theTsleil-Waututh Nation SacredTrust at Cates Park/Whey-ah-Wichen on Aug. 10.The event, which runs from noon to 8:30 p.m., will feature three stages with more than 30 artists and speakers, including Chilliwack, Holly McNarland, Chief Maureen

Thomas,VinceVaccaro and RexWeyler, co-founder of Greenpeace International. The festival was organized by theTsleil-Waututh Sacred Trust to raise awareness about Kinder Morgan’s planned expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline, which would see an increase in capacity from 300,000 barrels of bitumen per day to 890,000 barrels, as well as almost seven times more tanker trafﬁc per month in Burrard Inlet. Henderson says the kind of tanker trafﬁc expected with the expansion of the terminal in Burnaby would be “a horrible thing for this area.” “And of course the pipeline I’m not in favour of that, I’m not in favour of the whole thing,” he says. “It all links into generally how humans are dealing with the planet.” Henderson says people are on some kind of “automatic ride.” “We believe that our technology is probably the most important thing in our lives and that we have to continually have more of it, more convenience, more goodies, all that kind See Salish page 31

he says. “Then I made it in the school for visual and performing arts in the small town where I’m from. And from there, I’ve been putting out records since I was 19 years old.” Garza was quite into punk music, and then when techno music started its upswing in the late 1980s and early ’90s, he fell in love with multiple genres – especially Brazilian music. Although Squamish fest goers can anticipate hearing samples of Thievery Corporation’s whole catalogue — the band’s latest album featuring elements of bossa nova — including “warm, soulful and melancholic vocals” — will deﬁnitely be a highlight. From Friday night to Sunday, thousands of people will occupy the ﬁfth annual festival on the Logger Sports Grounds and Centennial Fields in Squamish.

Winery hosting production From page 13 months pregnant. “They had a ranch called Sunnyside,” she says. “She (Susan) raised her 14 children, she helped John with mining and ranching, she was also a writer and she was keenly interested in Aboriginal culture, the culture of the people that surrounded her.” After the Eckhardt-Gramatté, Pawsey was in the Okanagan at the Quail’s GateWinery, looking through a scrapbook of material, she says, relating to the property in what was then their tasting shop. “What I didn’t realize was the log structure I was standing in was John and Susan Allison’s 1873 house,” says Pawsey, while the winery is the former Sunnyside ranch. “I had chills. Immediately I thought ‘this opera needs to be performed and it needs to be done here.’” Pawsey andTurning Point Ensemble performed a small concert version at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts in 2012. “That was our first opportunity to really hear the work performed with professional singers and orchestra,” she says. About two weeks prior to the show, Pawsey says they held a public symposium calledThe Lake Speaks with Jordan Coble, curatorial and heritage researcher at theWestbank First Nation Sncawips Heritage Museum. “(He) spoke to us about the Syilx Okanagan people, about N-ha-a-itk, about it’s meaning to them as a metaphor for sustainability and its deeply spiritual significance,” says Pawsey. After the second performance, she was approached backstage byWestbank First Nation elder Delphine Derickson. “’She said, ‘I’m a singer and, in our nation, I own all the songs to do with the lake and the creature in the lake,’” says Pawsey. “She said ‘I have a N-ha-a-itk song I’d like to share it with you,’ and my heart stopped because that is such a huge honour to be gifted with a song.” A collaborative relationship soon formed. Pawsey describes the final product as “a fully integrated 90-minute program with contemporary Syilx Okanagan culture and a brand new world premiere work byVancouver composer Leslie Uyeda, which is based on that song that Delphine Derickson offered to us.” Uyeda orchestrated the piece forWestern instruments for theTurning Point Ensemble and Derickson and Pawsey will sing in both their languages as well as Gaelic. “We’re trading each other’s vocal styles, we’re trading languages, Delphine will play her drum and we’ve been work shopping withWestbank First Nation for the last year,” says Pawsey. Corrine Derickson, Delphine’s daughter, also choreographed a dance that will be inserted into the opera. “We have all kinds of contemporary Syilx Okanagan cultures and all these new works that will be performed before, during, in the middle and after,” says Pawsey. “Its sort of looking at history moving back, moving forward, in the present in this sort of continuum of what was and the relationships that were established during contact and the relationships that are still maintained.” Pawsey approached Quail GateWinery ownerTony Stewart about using the vineyard grounds as a venue. “It’s a huge grassy area that’s on a bluff overlooking the lake, which actually Susan Allison talks about in the opera,” she says. “So the audience will be looking out over the lake to the mountains beyond.” Preparation for the production has taken some time, from the first concert in November 2012 to February 2013 when the project was given the green light. “We’ve had a number of trips to the Okanagan over the last year, every two months or so we’ve gone and spent days — workshopping, talking ideas, figuring out our relationship,” says Pawsey. “It took a good year to come up with the script that we now have and the shape of the show and how everything fits and we’re absolutely thrilled, we can’t wait to share this with people.” Pawsey founded Astrolabe MusikTheatre in March 2010. She says she goes with her instincts and heart when choosing productions, not only for Astrolabe but also for herself. “It has to be something that I find compelling, I’m very drawn to things that haven’t been done before or maybe have been done but need to be seen again or heard again,” she says.

Pawsey has taken audiences underground at the Britannia Mine Museum, through the grounds atVanDusen Botanical Gardens and even to a crematorium. “I look at venues as to whether or not they would be appropriate or interesting for an audience because I want it to be an immersive experience,” she says. “I want an audience to have as many connections to the work as possible.” Everything is done with a lot of thought so the music is primary, says Pawsey, “it’s an organic fit,” and not just something layered on the music. Pawsey is also a private music instructor at Capilano University, teaching singing lessons twice a week. She offers one piece of advice for her students that want to pursue singing professionally. “You have to want to do this more than anything else because it’s hard, it’s hard work to be a professional singer,” she says. “But if you do, you put in the work that you have to put in. It’s like flying, there’s no other feeling in the world like singing.” Her commitments as an artistic director, a teacher and professional singer can be a balancing act, she says. “You just make it work, you just find the time, you get really focused, you have really good support around you,” says Pawsey. “I couldn’t do it without my husband and I couldn’t do it without amazing partners likeTurning Point and Westbank and Quails’ Gate with this project.” Pawsey’s next project is creating roles forVancouver Opera’s commission of Stick Boy, written by Shane Koyczan and composed by NeilWeisensel, starting in late October at the Queen ElizabethTheatre. “I’m really, really excited about that,” she says. “I’ve known Neil for a number of years and just love his music, and then of course Shane Koyczan, I’ve been a fan forever.” Pawsey also has a number of projects in mind for Astrolabe. “There are some big ones that are going to take a couple or three years to develop,” says Pawsey. “And there’s a couple that I’m thinking of specifically for next season.” And as for whether or not Pawsey believes in Ogopogo? “Yes I do, I completely believe in N-ha-a-itk, in the spirit of the lake, absolutely, in a more profound way than I ever would have known had I not met my incredible colleagues fromWestbank First Nation, who have just opened my eyes,” she says. “It’s been a humbling, incredibly rewarding rich experience to learn and I’ve just started to learn.”

VISUAL ARTS

VERMILION SANDS Vermilion Sands, designed by Matthew Soules Architecture is a temporary space installation that will transform Millennium Park into an engaging spatial environment during the Harmony Arts Festival. Vermillion Sands, comprised of a canopy of living plants, will filter the August sun, providing cool shade while animating the park with dynamic and dappled shadows. The canopy is composed of a series of repeating shapes that collectively form a geometric pattern that is akin to a landscape. The project is influenced by the early days of West Coast Modernism when innovators like BC Binning created dazzling patterns that were inspired by the landscape. This work was proudly supported by the BC Arts Council, the West Vancouver Museum, TerraStar Solutions and MEC Systems.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to FASHION & STYLE

Boutique retains independence Store shelves stocked with small, niche product lines

ANNE WATSON awatson@nsnews.com

FASHION FILE Our weekly roundup of fashion and beauty events and activities. page 26

Kiss and Makeup boutique has said goodbye to West Vancouver and relocated to neighbouring North Vancouver. The store officially closed its doors in the Village at Park Royal location on July 31 and opened up the very next day at 1760 Lonsdale Ave. Heather Huntingford, owner of Kiss and Makeup, says after 10 years at Park Royal it was time for a change. “We’re really excited for this, it’s going to be good,” says Huntingford. “It’s going to be a good change.” Huntingford says they realized they were heading in a direction that was not their own. “We’re definitely looking at the national, bigger chain and want an independent store and really want to keep that independent feeling,” she says, adding that her boutique was one of the first tenants in the original Village. “We feel like we’ve sort of found a new area that we can come in because we see there’s going to be a lot happening on Lonsdale I think in the next few years. We’re hoping that we’re going to start a trend, that there’ll be more boutiques

with our clients, you know, passing on feedback.” The boutique has even developed a “family feeling” in the store, says Huntingford. “We know all of our clients that come in, we know their names, we know their husbands, we know their kids, so that for us is really important,” she says. “We have clients coming in two or three

times a week to say ‘hi.’” The close relationship with clients also resulted in a strong reaction about the relocation. “There’s a lot of disbelief and shock,” says Huntingford. “Some of the clients are wanting to picket outside of the store.” But clients have also been incredibly supportive, she says.

“We just talk through what’s happening, and what’s happening in the Village and why we needed to move out and once that’s established they’re like ‘OK, we understand where we’re going,’” says Huntingford. “The space we’ve found being in upper Lonsdale, we thought was really convenient for See Emphasis page 26

people to get to, just right off the highway and so that was important.” Huntingford says they are working hard to return to West Vancouver as well, with plans in the works to operate two small stores. “It’s probably going to be the Grosvenor development, which we’re just trying to get negotiated,” she says. “Their whole development is going to be small and boutique and independent, so that’s why it actually ﬁts in really well with us.” Although they have vetted their product lines, Huntingford says they are taking along some of their staples, including skin care lines Tata Harper and Sjal, jewelry by Shereen De Rousseau, Becca Cosmetics and clothing by Monrow. “We’ll have Linacare, which we’ve carried since we opened, we love Linacare,” she says. “We’ll have Principessa, Ilia and RMS Beauty and those are all local makeup lines.” Clients can also expect

to see a variety of new brands, including Verso, a retinol eight complex line, and Soleil du Jour, a mineral-based sunscreen. “There was a period of time that I couldn’t ﬁnd any new sort of makeup lines and skin care lines that were small,” says Huntingford. “And over the past few years there have been a lot of new ones emerging on the market. So lots of niche, small, independent, upand-coming lines.” Huntingford says she ﬁnds her clients are more loyal to the local brands, buying two or three containers of the same product to avoid running out. “We love the stories, we want a good story behind the line,” she says. “Like who are we supporting so that we do talk about the brand and the creators and why it’s in the store.” Kiss and Makeup will also be carrying new brands of clothing, including Cotton Citizen, which is a line of sweatpants, and All Things Fabulous, which includes

raccoon and squirrel prints Huntingford describes as “really cheeky.” “We’re sort of switching our focus away from dresses and wedding and all of those kinds of things and focusing more on day-to-day, sweatpants, Tshirts, jeans,” she says. Using local, organic products is something Huntingford can relate to. She ﬁrst got into the makeup business after suffering from severe allergies. “I couldn’t wear any makeup,” she says. “I would literally react to it.” Huntingford was working as a cashier at Capers at the time and noticed customers with different skin care products. “It was expensive back then and I was at UBC and I was wanting to go into medicine,” she says. But after a year of thinking it over she decided there was something she could do. “So I went into the venture program at BCIT and wrote my business plan in six months and opened the store.”

Malcolm Lowry made himself at home on the waterfront

QA and

SHERYL SALLOUM

Dollarton days JOHN GOODMAN jgoodman@nsnews.com

Like Baudelaire, Malcolm Lowry was a remittance man. His family kept him on a financial string, tenuous at best, especially after the Second World War started and the flow of money slowed to a trickle.The funds were distributed in dribs and drabs by a third party who reported back to dad in the U.K. Under theVolcano, completed at Dollarton and published in 1947, is set in Cuernavaca, Mexico, where Lowry and his first wife Jan Gabrial

lived out at least some of the story in real time. The experiences in the novel have been ﬁltered through many prisms, including second wife Margerie Bonner who collaborated on the book as Lowry’s chief typist, editor and bottle washer after he split with Gabrial. Initially Lowry didn’t want to be in Vancouver but the writer was stuck here after he came north to renew his visa and the Americans wouldn’t let him back across the border due to a lack of anything resembling independent means. A perfect storm of circumstances (alcohol abuse, disapproving family, onset of war) left him stranded and he eventually settled

in Vancouver, living mainly on the Dollarton waterfront, for 14 years. Sheryl Salloum launched her book Malcolm Lowry:Vancouver Days (Harbour Publishing), during the Malcolm Lowry Symposium held at UBC in May 1987. Based on interviews with Lowry’s wife Margerie Bonner, as well as friends and neighbours who knew the writer during his 14 years as a squatter on the shores of Burrard Inlet, Salloum recreates his life and times with immense detail. She spoke to the North Shore News about Lowry and her research into See UBC page 30

North Shore News: The research in Vancouver Days is quite extensive. It must have been a massive undertaking. Sheryl Salloum: It was. I actually didn’t know what I was doing when I started because I’d never written a book before but it was quite extensive and a great deal of fun. I had my book launch at the symposium but when I was writing the book I didn’t know the symposium was being held. It was an incredible event. There were about 100 local and international scholars in attendance and we had a guided bus tour of all the Lowry sites in Vancouver

which are now for the most part gone and then we went to Cates Park and had a ceremony and an unveiling. I don’t know if you’ve seen the rock? That was unveiled by Dr. Sherrill Grace and David Markson, who’s an American writer who’s sadly now passed away, and he was a friend of Lowry’s. It was quite an experience and all the scholars walked down the beach to near the site of where Lowry’s cabin was and eventually some shots of Tequila came out. Later we went to a banquet and everyone was given tequila to toast Malcolm. North Shore News: The perfect occasion to launch your book because a lot of the information didn’t exist anywhere else. Sheryl Salloum: Yes it was really wonderful to be launching it with all those scholars there.The reason I wrote the book was because I had been

working as a teacher and I returned to Simon Fraser to finish my Bachelor’s degree — at the time you could teach with three years of university and a year of teacher training. I returned to finish my degree and took a course that was titled ‘Canadian Literature.’ given by Dr. Peter Buitenhuis and it was all dedicated to Malcolm Lowry. He took us on a field trip out to Cates Park on a really cold blustery November day.We were running around with our Under the Volcano books trying to locate sites. It struck me as being pretty pathetic and rather embarrassing that international scholars who came to UBC to study Lowry would always go out to Cates Park and there was absolutely nothing there — no markers, no tribute in any form.The one book that had been written at that time, by Douglas Day interviewed local people that had known Lowry but they really didn’t feature in the book at all.There was a lot of information from those people that had known him that needed to be recorded and it was just going to be a recording initially. I was going to interview these people, just to document their stories and quickly realized that it should be a book. Most if not all of the people now have passed away that I interviewed. One or two are still alive I think but it was sort of the last time to record those stories. North Shore News: How did you track them down? This was before email.Was it just footwork? Sheryl Salloum: Footwork and some serendipity I guess.When I finally realized I was going to write a book I thought I better immerse myself in everything and Peter Buitenhuis who I’d taken my course from was giving a night course at Simon Fraser downtown and I thought well I will just go and sit in on it to keep myself fresh with the information. It turned out that William McConnell, who had been a very good friend of Lowry’s, was in attendance so I introduced myself to him and came to know him. He told me to contact a few people and then research led me to a few people and I eventually located people and of course UBC has a marvellous archive — boxes and boxes and boxes of

not just manuscripts but memorabilia and his book collection and just all sorts of interesting things, bus tickets. North Shore News: Everything that they left behind in the shack? Sheryl Salloum: A large part of it comes from that. When his second shack burnt down a big trunk of material went to Phil and Hilda Thomas and they kept it under their kitchen table for the longest time.They eventually thought this had to go somewhere and took it to UBC and since then the collection has just grown. People come from all over the world to study Lowry’s work there and I couldn’t count the number of books that have been written about him in many languages. North Shore News: Apparently Lowry hated Vancouver at first and he only stayed because they wouldn’t let him leave. He couldn’t cross the American border with no money to his name.What did Margerie think of Vancouver? She was devoted to Lowry but the shack in winter must have been no fun at all and very different from her California roots. Sheryl Salloum: Yes I think she had mixed feelings. She loved it there in the summer. She was married to a man who was an alcoholic and may have had other issues as well but living out there worked very well for him. I actually think he died because he left North Vancouver. I think he could never find another place that was as restive for his problems. He may have had mental health issues as well as alcoholism and even though it was stimulating for his writing I think she eventually said we have to leave in winter. It was just too difficult. So they did that and of course he drank more and was a little more out of control — it really was a wonderful place for them. North Shore News: There was at one time as many as 90 shacks on the waterfront? Sheryl Salloum: Yes that’s what my research told me. North Shore News: And the Lowry’s were one of the few that lived there yearround for a couple of years anyway.Was it royalties See Bonner page 31

Salish Sea fest maintains pipeline not worth the risk From page 19 of stuff,” says Henderson. “And this requires this kind of energy, it’s very expensive energy and I think there are a lot of people who are trying to come up with means of sustainable energy solutions and that’s fantastic. It may never be the level of energy that we would like to have and I think that’s just fine too, that we can live easily without so much of what we think we need.” The bottom line, says Henderson, is the coastline is incredibly beautiful territory. “I was raised in this coastline and I’m just not going to stand by and allow it to be potentially ruined,” he says. Henderson liked the concept of the Gathering. “Its not just a bunch of fist waving and protesting. Protesting is good and important but this is more, I get the feeling, it’s more of a family thing,” he says. “It’s more of a reinforcement of the values that we believe in and the beauty of life and the beauty of the Salish Sea and this beautiful place that we live in and kind of affirming that and remembering that and that way we will be sure

not to ruin it.” The event will also feature traditional canoes, a salmon barbecue, green energy zone, artisan market, the Dragonﬂy Children’s program and more. The stages are all powered by eco-friendly energy, including solar power, biodiesel fuel and the bicycle-powered Chief Dan George Poetry Stage. Stephen Collis, poet and professor in the faculty of English at Simon Fraser University, says he, along with fellow poet Christine Leclerc, was contacted by the Tsleil-Waututh Nation Sacred Trust and asked to read George’s works. “They know us, they know we’re activists as well as poets and that we know people in the community, so (it’s) easy for us to ﬁnd people,” says Collis, who was in charge of circulating George’s poems amongst the group of 10 poets that will be reading. Though he hasn’t decided yet as to what he’s going to read, Collis says a couple of lines in one particular poem caught his attention. “I’d love to write something in response. I

see that as part of the way poetry works in general, as kind of a response genre, you’re always responding to some other piece of work out there rather than just sort of originating something out of the blue,” he says. “I love working that way, so I will deﬁnitely write something in response to some of Chief Dan George’s lines to read that day.” Rita Wong, a poet and associate professor in the faculty of culture and community at Emily Carr University, will also be reading George’s work. “One of the poems that really stuck out for me, it’s a very short one and it’s not actually titled, it’s in his book My Heart Soars,” she says. “It basically is this idea that we don’t own anything, that what we have is borrowed, in a sense we have a debt to it or a responsibility to life and that just really resonates for me.” Wong says she has been very active and concerned about protecting the coast and will choose her own poem to accompany George’s work based on that. “I know that Chief Dan George was very adamant

about saving and protecting the land that he lived on,” she says. “So I will choose poems that relate to love for the coast and the land.” Wong says the festival has “filled some very big shoes,” referring to the site’s previous event, Under the Volcano, which celebrated its 20th anniversary and final festival in August 2010. “I’ve really enjoyed this festival a lot,” she says. “I think its very important not only because of the celebration of the Salish Seas but it also for me fills a little bit of a hole that’s left with the passing of Under the Volcano, which was one of my most favorite festivals.” Irwin Oostindie, production coordinator for the Tsleil-Waututh, says the event is about bringing together neighbours who live along the Burrard Inlet. “To basically deepen their understanding and connection to the Salish Sea, to the ideas of environmental stewardship and the shared responsibility between the First Nations and the general population,” says Oostindie. It’s an opportunity for those attending, he says, to learn about each other cross culturally.

pipeline expansion, “we should remember the words of the captain of the Exxon Valdez: ‘shit happens’. He’s right, and it’s not worth the risk.” Tickets are $10 for regular admission, $5 for youth and free for seniors and children and can be purchased ahead of time at eventbrite.ca, or at the door.

Bonner published three mystery novels From page 30 from Under theVolcano that allowed them to move to the city in winter or was it just out of necessity? Sheryl Salloum: I doubt it. He really didn’t get much in the way of royalties. I think Margerie put her foot down. ‘I’m too old to sleep on a ﬂoor here on a mattress.’ I think Lowry would have happily stayed out there. I’m not sure exactly what they survived on. I mean he was a remittance man and some money did come from his father for awhile but during the war years it was hard to send money to Canada and he did make a little money initially on royalties but the book was more of an academic success than a ﬁnancial success.They did take some royalty money and go to Europe on a big trip so I don’t think there

was much left for living in Vancouver. I’m not sure how they managed to live but Margerie herself became a writer and she had some royalties. She wrote three mystery novels that sold quite well in the States especially. (Did she sell more than him?) Good question. I have no proof of that so I don’t know but initially she may have. (She had Max Perkins as an editor at one point).They’re mysteries written in that era.They are quite good. I think they probably worked quite well together.They probably helped one another and I can see phrasing and description in Lowry’s writing you just know no man wrote that and vice versa I’m sure he helped her. They worked well as writers and of course she dedicated herself to typing up his manuscripts. Sometimes she

would have to sit quietly for maybe up to an hour as he fussed and got ready and had to go into this zone. She put up with quite a bit. Bonner and Lowry’s connections with Hollywood ran deep. Her sister Priscilla was a silent film star in the ’20s and she herself acted in a series of films, mainly westerns. When Malcolm met Margerie in Los Angeles in 1939 she was working as an assistant to Penny Singleton who starred in the Dagwood and Blondie Bumstead series for radio and film.After Gabrial left Lowry she also settled in L.A. and found work in Hollywood answering Jimmy Stewart’s mail among other jobs. Lowry and Bonner were members of the film society in Vancouver regularly making the bus trip between Dollarton andWest 10th to catch the latest offerings in world

cinema. During their years in NorthVancouver they not only completed Under the Volcano but also worked on a mammoth unpublished, unﬁlmed script for F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Tender is the Night. North Shore News: What was the extent of Margerie Bonner’s acting career in L.A. before she met Lowry? Sheryl Salloum: I don’t really know, I just know that she was part of the Silent Era. She and her sister Priscilla. She was quite ﬂamboyant which was problematic for a lot of people in stodgy old Vancouver. North Shore News: During some periods of his life in Vancouver Lowry was incapable of looking after himself whereas at other times he functioned quite well.

Sheryl Salloum: He was a man of many contradictions and it depended on how well he had his addictions under control.When they lived out in the Dollarton area Margerie was very smart —they would work all day and then they would have their little hour around supper time and have a little drink or two. In some of the latest research on alcoholism they get drinks everyday but they are restricted to how much they have. And that was enough to prevent him from drinking too much. It kept him where he should be — well and working. And he wasn’t distracted by things that caused him to drink. He was very uncomfortable with a lot of people. He was uncomfortable in crowded places. Being isolated was really good for his psyche. It was a tonic for him and

when they moved, when they were forced to leave he couldn’t ﬁnd a spiritual place again.When they lived in England the pub was just down the road and I think he was eventually kicked out of the local pub and he lost control of himself sadly. North Shore News: Did Lowry swim back and forth across the Inlet? Sheryl Salloum: I don’t know if he did. Some people may have said he did. He was certainly a strong swimmer and if you look in the book and you see the pictures of him he has a huge upper body. And he rowed. He once rowed David Markson all the way to Port Moody and back. That would be quite a long row in a rowboat. He was quite powerfully built and See Squatting page 34

Foodie flick tickles tastebuds ■ The Hundred-Foot Journey. Directed by Lasse Hallstrom. Starring Helen Mirren, Om Puri, Manish Hayal and Charlotte Le Bon. Rating: 6 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD ContributingWriter

If ever there was a ﬁlm that begged for the rerelease of Mike Todd Jr’s short-lived Smell-OVision technology, it’s The Hundred-Foot Journey. Like this year’s other food porn ﬁlm, Chef, The Hundred-Foot Journey treats its dishes like a main character, with plates of food so bold you wish they were scratch-and-sniff. But there are humans along for this journey, too: Helen Mirren and Om Puri play rival restaurateurs separated by a mere 100 feet but whose cultural gap is much wider.

Get the Key to Exclusivity

Cultures clash in Provence

From page 32

Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France and promptly makes plans to open a family restaurant serving Indian cuisine. “People here don’t eat those things” protests a family member. Unfortunately the Maison Mumbai just happens to be adjacent to a Michelin-starred restaurant run by the formidable Madame Mallory (Mirren). Soon the neighbourhood is ﬁlled with the smell of curry, a breath of fresh air to some, an offensive aroma to Madame. “If your food is anything like your music,” she sniffs, “then I suggest you turn it down”. Culinary and personal spats ensue, and both Papa and Madame stomp across that hundred feet several times. Son Hassan (Manish

Dayal) crosses the divide, too. He is something of a cooking prodigy who develops a curiosity and a passion for French cuisine, not to mention an instant attraction to Marguerite (Canadian actor Charlotte Le Bon), Madame’s sous chef. “Is he as good as I think he is?” asks Papa. “He’s better,” Madame admits. Love between the young is a pretty thing, but it’s the discourse between Mirren and Puri that really gets the pots boiling. Both are trapped in their own emotional cages: Papa is a stubborn man who has never recovered from the death of his wife; Mallory is a headstrong big ﬁsh in a small pond who has spent decades striving for another Michelin star, to the exclusion of everything

else including love. They grow to an understanding, and then to something more. The ﬁlm is based on Richard Morais’ novel and directed by Lasse Hallstrom. Hallstrom has used food to invade small French villages before, in Chocolat, so he knows the territory. As if the food weren’t sumptuous enough, shots of the idyllic French countryside will make you want to spend your own Year in Provence. Mirren’s not championing a great ﬁlm here, just an enjoyable one. And whether you’re inspired to stay home and whip up a masterpiece of your own or to dine out and let someone else tickle your tastebuds, The Hundred-Foot Journey is sure to whet your appetite.

Squatting developed out of necessity From page 31

when he was healthy he was physically ﬁt, chopping and hauling wood. He loved doing all those things and he swam fairly often in the summer months even though that water’s cold. North Shore News: The Shellburn terminal seem to have given him a lot of grief. Sheryl Salloum: I think he loved the symbolism of that. He was a man who loved symbols so when the S sign went out yes he did not like it — apparently it was quite

noisy and it wasn’t the nicest view but he was a man who wrote about heaven and hell so I think he actually loved having it there. North Shore News: You mentioned 150 years of squatter history. Is that the timeline? Sheryl Salloum: I think it’s over 150 years but I think the ﬁrst squatters that we know of were sailors who jumped ship and married aboriginal women and lived near Brockton Point. They are the ﬁrst I have been able to track

down and that dates back to 1862. Finn Slough (at the south end of No. 4 Road in Richmond) and Belcarra are really the last of a long history. There were squatters on both sides of Burrard Inlet for a long time. North Shore News: Finn Slough, like Dollarton, was started by ﬁshermen. Sheryl Salloum: It grew out of necessity. After those shacks were there a lot of Vancouverites would row over and use them as vacation huts.

North Shore News: Eviction seems to have been something they were always worried about. Sheryl Salloum: That’s an ongoing saga for squatters everywhere. Eviction notices would come and go and most people ignored them but eventually they were enforced.You’ve heard about what’s happening now in Belcarra. They are the last in Burrard Inlet. I think it’s a great shame they can’t leave a few of them as a historic legacy. I guess developers always have their eyes on these places. I think

it’s wonderful that Cates Park came about because otherwise all the history that is there now would be lost.What’s nice is Cates Park still has things that Lowry wrote about. They still have heron’s nests, they still have the Malcolm Lowry walk through the trail that he probably took. I don’t know if you’ve read “The Forest Path to the Spring?” It’s in his book of short stories published posthumously, called with the impossibly long title, Hear Us O Lord from Heaven Thy Dwelling Place.

All of those stories are set in the Vancouver area and I think “The Forest Path to the Spring” is the most beautiful and it is set in what is now Cates Park. He talks about the spring where he went to get water and he talks about the ﬂora and fauna and it really is a very beautiful story quite different from the dire symbolism and the dire places that you have to go to in Under theVolcano. It’s a celebration of the spirituality that he felt he lived with there. It’s really a lovely tribute to Cates Park.

2014 Honda Accord

Honda hits the gym

There’s no denying that Mr. Soichiro Honda was a genius, but he also nearly ran his company into the ground. Obsessed with perfection, he backed up the production line time and again with new innovations and insights — the engineers eventually set up a desk for somebody to ﬁeld all his brainwaves. It was no way to build a car, even if the car in question was actually pretty good. The Honda 1300 was the ﬁrst proper Honda

passenger car, and it had any number of clever tricks; sadly, it wasn’t a

sales success. The next car to come along was the Civic, and we all know how that went. However, this time Mr. Honda was forced to allow his engineers to stop pulling their hair out in frustration and work together in a more harmonious fashion. Little wonder than they’d soon produce a vehicle called the Accord. But then something happened. The svelte little Hondas of the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s ballooned into huge machines that were

somewhat spongy. The Accord grew so much it crossed from mid-sized to full-sized; comfy, sure, but where’s the personality? Happily, a proper Accord returned last year and the harmony is back.

Design Not much has changed for the 2014 year in terms of the Accord’s sheetmetal, assuming you discount the optional Hybrid version with its blue-green enviroSee Trunk page 42

Fiat leaves Italy after 115 years While Fiat never enjoyed a stellar reputation in Canada in its early years, the return has been somewhat more successful. No longer plagued by Fix-It-Again-Tonyism, the company now does a bustling trade in its happy little cinquecento city cars. If only the 500L didn’t look like it had crawled out of a swamp. Part of that success comes from decades of European sales and development, but part is due to the successful merger of Fiat and Chrysler, the latter of which has been on it’s own positive kick of late. However, just as the Fiat/ Chrysler merger has meant change for the pentastar, it marks the end of an era for the Italians too. No longer will Fiat be based out of Turin, moving instead to Slough, U.K. Slough, if it’s famous for anything, was the site of the first fictional The Office series, although it’s worth See Nothing page 43

From page 41

cues. It’s a conservative design, yet the more I look at it, the more there is to like. While slightly smaller, this is still a big, wide car, yet the clean styling avoids it looking cumbersome. You get 18-inch alloys on both the Touring and Sport trims, but the stock 17-inch rims look just ﬁne, and will have cheaper-to-replace tires anyway. There is the slight worry that the LED treatment on the Accord’s front headlights is going to start looking a bit dated as the LED-as-decorative style fades out of the luxury market. However, as an overall effort, the front fascia manages to look distinctively Honda without looking too distinctive. This is a car that should age well on the outside. Environment However, that ageless beauty is only skin deep. While there’s much to like about the interior of the Accord in terms of spaciousness, the

application of technology leaves something to be desired. Just as the split-level instrument binnacle on the Civic has its detractors, the Accord’s twin screen setup is going to puzzle more than a few people.Why’d they do that? The top eightinch screen looks nice, but it’s operated by a rotary control, while a second lower screen handles the audio functions, and is at a lower resolution. It’s odd, but it works — and yet a simpler layout probably would have been better. Having said that, the integrated LaneWatch sideview camera is the sort of clever innovation that only Honda could come up with: every time you put your right turn indicator on, a camera mounted on the right mirror shows a nice clear display down the side of the car, making watching for cyclists easy, and parallel parking a cinch. Other than that, the back seats are simply enormous and ditto the trunk. This Accord might be slightly smaller than the previous generation, but the nips

and tucks don’t seem to have diminished the interior space much at all.

Performance One feature that all Hondas used to have was a fun-to-drive essence that extended right across the range. No wonder kids were hopping up hand-me-down hatchbacks back in the day: those cars had dual wishbone suspension and carved up corners like they were born on a track. While it’s far more reﬁned than the Hondas of yore, this Accord still has a bit of that racing spirit tucked under the hood. The 2.4-litre four-cylinder option makes a reasonable 184 horsepower at 5,000 r.p.m. and 181 foot-pounds of torque at 3,900 r.p.m. The dual exhausts on the Sport model uncork an extra 5 h.p., and the V-6 stomps out an impressive 278 h.p. and 252 footpounds of torque. Honda, bless their hearts, will sell you an Accord with a real six-speed manual if you want, but you’re better off selecting a continuously variable

transmission if you don’t want to wait. I know, I know: a CVT. That can’t be good for driving fun, can it? Truth be told, Honda’s nailed this transmission. Unless you’re brutal with the throttle, it doesn’t whine and rubber-band too much, and is extremely smooth and efﬁcient. Even better, the Accord’s chassis is that of one of the ballerinas the H-badge used to put out, meaning that it’s really quite quick and nimble. The electric power steering is well managed, without being overboosted, and it frankly feels like a return to form. Tackling a curving onramp, the four-cylinder Accord carried enough speed through the corner that little power was actually needed for extra acceleration. That’s just the way an old Honda would have made the most of its power, and the payoff is a great driving experience with minimal penalty at the pump. The V-6 version, with its outstanding power levels, should be an absolute rocketship. However, there

Essentially, under lighter loads, the six can run as a three, which makes for a real highway star. Having said that, the four-cylinder Accord is likely to be the bulk seller, and it’s very good at blending together the space and efﬁciency needed in this segment with a drive that feels interesting enough to be worthy of the badge up front.

TODAY’S DRIVE

Nothing says family car like 700 h.p. From page 41 noting that other automakers have used it as a base — Citroën had a factory there once, for instance. However, it’s entirely less romantic. You’re much less likely to find a gang of gold-stealing Mini Coopers invading Slough than you are Turin. The Slough Job? Sounds like derma-abrasion. It’s a sad day as Fiat has been producing cars in Italy since 1899, and in its glory days was an essential part of Italian culture.With the Italian economy in trouble, the move makes fiscal sense, but hopefully some of that European charm isn’t lost in the move. The family Hellcat approacheth You know what makes a good family pet? A golden retriever. Or, perhaps, a nice goldfish. Or a demure tortoiseshell tabby. Or a Bengal tiger with rabies. Wait, hang on a moment. That rumbling noise you hear on the horizon like approaching artillery fire is the incoming Charger Hellcat. Rumours are swiftly coalescing into fact that Dodge’s four-door family sedan is getting a heart transplant, with mules spotted in shakedown testing and patent applications caught in flagranto delicto. The Challenger Hellcat is still causing echoes throughout the musclecar

end of the market with its outrageous 707 horsepower supercharged V-8. It might not actually be any faster than the loony-tunes Shelby Mustangs, but it’s got bragging rights aplenty and is a frankly shocking car to drive with the traction control off. The Charger, having taken a little stick from Mopar lovers for having the same name as the General Lee but quad-doors instead of welded ones, is boasting a new facelift this year; if a 707 h.p. version drops, it’ll be the most powerful sedan on the market by a long shot. Don’t give dad socks for Christmas, he’s going to need one of these and a lifetime supply of tires. HennessyVenom F5 aims for 290 m.p.h. Is 700 h.p. not enough? How about double that? A new version of the Elisebased Hennessy Venom is coming, and it’s bringing 1,400 h.p. to the table to help crack on to 290 miles per hour (466 kilometres per hour). Power will come from a tactical nuke.Well, no actually, the powerplant is a relatively uncomplicated twin-turbo seven-litre V-8 engine; this has been crammed into a lightweight and slippery stretched Lotus chassis in the hopes of cracking the Bugatti Veyron’s ofﬁcial speed record and, one presumes, not dying

cent bump in those ﬁgures, but the Accord did return very good fuel economy in the real world, particularly the way the CVT worked in the city. Green light Roomy, comfortable cabin; lively driving dynamics; good value from base model. Stop sign Overcomplicated twinscreen infotainment; styling may be too conservative for some. The checkered ﬂag Finds the balance between the practical needs of a mid-sized sedan and the twinkle in Soichiro Honda’s eye.

Competitor Toyota Camry ($23,750) Selling so well it’s practically ridiculous, the Camry remains well out in front in terms of overall North American sales. The previous generation remains a solid buy, made more attractive by the potential for strong discounting with a new version on the way. It’s a softer car in most trims than the Accord, and maybe a tad more comfortable as well. However, the Honda drives with a bit more spirit, something that’s been the case since both cars ﬁrst went head-to-head. mcaleer.nsnews@gmail.com

horribly in the process. Interesting stuff, if not particularly of any use to anyone who needs to drive a car on a public road where the fastest legal speeds are about one-quarter that. However, it does mean that at some point a road car is going to surpass the onceunthinkable 300 m.p.h. mark. I’m not sure what happens then. Everybody gets free Stig-shaped air fresheners or something. General Motors unveils Chinese minivan There’s a good reason that GM no longer sells a

rally-ready version. Dubbed the GT86 CSR3, this new version will be available to customers who want to run a privateer team, and comes with beefed-up brakes and suspension, a six-speed sequential racing gearbox and a power bump to somewhere in the 240250 h.p. range. It all sounds pretty good, as does the potential to see sideways-sliding rear-drive rally cars again, just like the good old days. Moreover, some real racing competition for the FRS could see its character getting honed a little, making it an even better car and taking some of the current rough edges off. mcaleer.nsnews@gmail.com

anyone’s heart aﬂame. And, with a 1.5-litre engine as the base offering, it’s not going to be scorching up the streets either. However, it supplies basic, economical transportation for multiple passengers and has a surprising level of connectivity onboard thanks to a version of Chevy’s MyLink technology. And it’s manual-transmission-only — what a world!

seven-seater minivan in this market: previous efforts were ugly, they weren’t particularly reliable or safe, and the company can make more money selling enormous crossovers.Wait, that’s three reasons. Well, whatever.The point is, in foreign markets, GM has to adapt to local pressures and that means building a car like the Baojun 730. Seating seven and styled with that highsided, tall-but-skinny look that Chinese and Japanese home-market vehicles seem to always have, the Baojun 730 isn’t about to set

Return of the rear-drive rally car It’s pretty well known that the underpinnings of the Toyota GT86, better known as the Scion FR-S in our market, are pure Subaru. As if we needed any more proof, here comes a
