City of NorthVancouver all-candidates debate

Density and development heat up debate JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

ote

A jam-packed Lucas Centre crowd watched the City of North Vancouver’s prospective mayors and councillors duel over density and development at an all-candidates debate Tuesday. Mayor Darrell Mussatto touted his vision of a walkable community benefited by development. Mussatto urged the audience to support a public transit referendum scheduled for next year, which may lead to the first transit upgrades in the city since 2007. Competing mayoralty candidates Kerry Morris and George Pringle both took aim at the mayor. The pace and scale of densification is beyond what the city’s infrastructure can absorb, according to Morris. “We’ve been growing because every developer that is walking in front of council is owed something, principally because they’ve made a magnificent donation to get members of council on council.” During questions from the audience, Mussatto was asked if there were

N. Shore MPs react to Parliament Hill shooting

JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

North Shore MPs recalled hearing semi-automatic gunﬁre outside the caucus meeting room before Parliament was locked down Wednesday following a shooting in the nation’s capital. But despite the dramatic events,West Vancouver MP John Weston said it’s important for Canadians not to be intimidated and to stand on guard for Canada’s democratic institutions. Both Weston and North Vancouver MP Andrew Saxton agreed, however, that Canada’s age of innocence on security threats is likely changed for good. See Shooting page 9

Affordable housing options debated From page 1 any development projects he’d opposed over the previous term. “Off the top of my head I can’t think of too many that I haven’t supported,” he said, explaining applications go through a lot of work with staff before being presented to council. The City and District of North Vancouver should amalgamate, streamlining services and lowering costs, according to Pringle. “Some people in the city, the mayor in particular, looks at the people in the district as, ‘They’re the enemy.’” The city should make a bid to ease traffic congestion by working with other North Shore municipalities to establish a construction schedule, according to candidate and councilwatcher Amanda Nichol. The city also needs an enhanced partnership with the North Vancouver school board.While the school board leaves density decisions with council, city council washes its hands of the board’s sale of school lands. “To me, that’s a discrepancy between the messages and a lack of communication,” Nichol said. When discussing traffic jams, Coun. Don Bell discussed the need for collaboration. “We have to work with the District of North Vancouver because all the roads of the City of North Vancouver go through the District of North Vancouver,” he said. Dorothy Bell, who is running alongside her husband Bill, defined herself in contrast to the other Bells. “I’m the third Bell, and in case you’re wondering what the difference is, I don’t have a moustache and I didn’t vote for a skyscraper at the Safeway site,” she said, taking a dig at Coun. Don Bell’s support of the Onni project at Lonsdale Avenue and 13th Street. Densification will

Craig Keating. While ushering in less than one per cent annual growth, the city has accrued approximately $500 million in community beneﬁts, including a library and 600 units of social and rental housing, according to Keating. Bill Bell, who referred to himself as Dr. No when discussing development, challenged Keating’s ﬁgures on population growth. During his previous council reign, Bill said the maximum population for the city was set at 42,000 residents.

“Now we’re well above 50,000.” Bill, who has staunchly opposed candidates accepting developer dollars, faced a question about taking developer donations when running at the federal level. “When I ran for the Liberals . . . I was not in charge of zoning,” he said. “I didn’t have to sell anything.” Coun. Pam Bookham took issue with Keating’s comments about the community beneﬁts funded by development. “We are looking to developers to provide all kinds of amenities within the community and we play a game regularly called Let’s Make a Deal.” The density does nothing to remedy the dearth of ground-oriented family housing in the city, according to Bookham. Candidate and bookkeeper Kathy McGrenera

emphasized the importance of affordable housing, saying increasingly few can enjoy homeownership. Council must guard against both crowding and urban sprawl, according to Coun. Linda Buchanan. “I believe we need to look at single-family residences and taking some of that density, creating affordability for people to age in place or allow young people to come back to their community,” she said. Risk manager Tony Valente called for balancing growth by facilitating different forms of development. “We need to look at getting threebedroom (homes) back into this community so families have somewhere to go when that two-bedroom is just too small,” he said. The city’s growth needs to be accompanied by urban gardens serving as gathering places.

“We need places where we can sit and talk to each other . . . and that’s what’s going to keep our community really healthy and strong,”Valente said. Business owner Joe Heilman promoted more turf ﬁelds and slowing the proliferation of condos. “Let’s keep something like what we’ve got,” he said. “Transportation will be the key.Transportation is a result of densiﬁcation.” Keating and Coun. Rod Clark sparred over the Harbourside development. Council’s decision to support residential development on the Harbourside waterfront is a blunder that will haunt the city, according to Clark. “We need to have jobs on the North Shore,” he said. “We’ve already cut our throat on that one.” Keating disagreed. “We did not eliminate any job uses at Harbourside, we added residential uses to it,”

he said. Via Fearnley also branded the Harbourside rezoning as a misstep. “They have rezoned Harbourside from being an industrial land, a job incubator, to become another residential project. That should not be.” The city’s prosperity is due to responsible development and the nurturing of small businesses, according to candidate Iani Makris. Council suffers from lack of cohesion and an inability to move forward, according to Makris. “Harry Jerome should have been done years and years ago.That place was a dive when I was nine playing hockey, and it’s a dive now.” Matt Clark echoed Makris’ call for co-operation on council. The current council is split, which sometimes means residents are left in the lurch, according to Matt. “Think about the six that are going to work the best together,” he said. Both Matt and Holly Back discussed the need for affordable housing. “We can create smaller lots that would bring your cost down on your housing because the biggest price is the land,” she said. Halting growth and “pulling up the drawbridge,” is not the answer, according to Back. Communist candidate Ron Sostad said he favours both amalgamation and a ward system. “I call my campaign: touch of COPE,” he said.

While more than 70 local candidates are battling it out for the hearts and minds of voters in the current civic election, for two veteran politicians the campaign is already over. But both West Vancouver Mayor Michael Smith — acclaimed for the second time — and District of North Vancouver Mayor Richard Walton, who was also acclaimed, say that doesn’t mean democracy’s been cheated in their communities. Smith said he was expecting an election for mayor.

“There was one councillor who I thought had been running for mayor for the last three years,” he said — and Smith added he was ready to take on a challenger with a big group of supporters “An election is good,” he said. “I’m certainly not afraid of defending my record and talking about my vision for the community. But nobody chose to run, so that’s it.” Smith said he owes his acclamation to the support he has in the community. “I think people who were interested in running went out and tested the water and found that was true and they chose See Smith page 5

Smith campaigns on voter turnout not to run,” he said. “I’m not saying my record is perfect or there aren’t people in West Van who wouldn’t be happy if I dropped off a cliff,” he added. But “the majority of West Van residents are reasonably satisﬁed with the job I’ve done.” Walton is also happy to be continuing as mayor in the District of North Vancouver. “I love my job and hopefully it radiates in the hours and the care I put into it,” he said. Walton said he’s made no secret of the fact he’d be seeking another term and acknowledged, “It’s tough to knock off an incumbent unless there’s an overwhelming issue facing the community.” He added running for mayor isn’t something most people do out of the blue — candidates often (although not always) have served in other political roles on council or school board or be prominent in other community service groups before they throw their hat into the ring. “When I ran for mayor 10 years ago, it was part of a long pattern of working within the community,” he said. The cost and stress of election campaigns can be off-putting for some candidates too, said Walton. “It’s hundreds of hours. It’s a huge time commitment. It’s stressful.” Even an incumbent in an area like the North Shore can spend between $15,000 and $20,000 on a campaign, he said. Smith said the most he has spent on a campaign is $6,000. Walton added although the public tends to be more interested in mayoralty races than council elections, almost all of a mayor’s authority comes from council. “I really can’t do much without council,”

he said. Acclamations for mayor aren’t that unusual, said Patrick Smith, professor of political science at Simon Fraser University. In the last round of civic elections, mayors in 12 out of 160 municipalities were acclaimed, he said. Over the long haul, he said, acclamation isn’t desirable. “Democracy’s about choice, about people being able to work out political differences.We don’t think the same way all the time.” Urban municipalities are also big business, with control over large budgets, he said. So “it should matter” who is elected. Incumbents almost always have the advantage, said Smith — a lot of that through name recognition. Any challenger would probably need to have built a base of community support, he added. Michael Smith said even though his own election is over, he’ll be taking part in the campaign as much as possible to encourage voter turnout. “I’m doing absolutely everything I can to get people out to vote,” he said.

Woman, 88, hit at intersection in rain, darkness BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

For the second time in a week, a North Shore senior has been run down while crossing the street. Emergency crews responded to Lynn Valley Road and 27th Street just after 6 p.m. Tuesday when a southbound driver struck the 88-year-old North

Vancouver woman as she was in the intersection. “Basically, he admitted his windows were kind of fogged up because it was raining,” said Cpl. Richard De Jong, North Vancouver RCMP spokesman. “He slammed on the brakes but struck the pedestrian, causing her to fall. He was going between ﬁve and 10 kilometres per hour, so obviously speed wasn’t a factor.” B.C.

Stand on guard T

wo Canadian soldiers dead on Canadian soil in one week and a shootout in Parliament. It’s certainly not what our good-natured citizens are used to seeing in the news. There’s no denying the drama of events that saw a gunﬁght erupt inside the halls that symbolically stand for the democracy we value. But rather than treat this as an all-out assault on the foundations of our society, we’d like to take a slightly more narrow view. The question to ask isn’t how are we to live in this new Canada. Our institutions and our values are sound. And the more we learn about what happened Wednesday the clearer that becomes. The questions to ask are what led to this and what can we learn to prevent it from happening again? The gunman in this case lived on the

fringes of society, with meagre means and few attachments.There’s no indication he was following orders from a larger terror cell. If he was a self-radicalized Islamist, it’s less likely a cause of his actions than a symptom of what was wrong with him to begin with. We must examine what happened and consider reasonable measures to prevent its reoccurrence. But there are no absolute guarantees of safety, particularly against irrational and unforeseeable acts. Broad policies based on a narrow risk threaten overkill. We must refuse to fundamentally change the open nature of our democracy.We must keep our wits about us. That would be the Canadian thing to do.

Wheels of progress roll over us all You can’t stop progress. Oh, you’ve heard that? Very disappointing. I thought I’d had a brilliantly original thought for a change. What’s seldom mentioned in stories in the media, and doubtless even less in the developers’ boardrooms and in-camera council meetings, is just exactly what and whom the wheels of progress roll over on the way to a bigger and supposedly better future. Giuseppe the Roman Tailor has been in business in a tiny West Van store at 1348 Marine Drive for an astonishing 44 years. There’s no front counter. Giuseppe works alone over his sewing machine in back. Customers — and they include some smartset people — come in and move closer, past rolls of cloth and a rack of ready-

made clothes, to shout over the machine’s hum if they want Giuseppe to hear them. He tells them to wait a minute. Giuseppe still has a rich Italian accent. He is short on banter. He listens and responds with a few words. Some customers want made-to-measure suits. Others only alterations. He takes measurements

CONTACTUS

with the air of long-honed familiarity. When Eaton’s was in business in Park Royal you might be quietly advised in the men’s wear department to go to Giuseppe for alterations. Faster. Next door, at 1348A, is Mr. Rea’s Cleaners (“serving North Shore since 1978” says the business card).You are greeted by Mr. Hera. So I’ve known him for many years. He writes his ﬁrst name on the card for my ediﬁcation, Rakhshandeh. Like Giuseppe, he too has an accent, Iranian. He is a hearty man with a big, welcoming voice. In the back of the shop is a space, seemingly barely shoulderswide, where alterations are made right on site. Recently Mr. Hera told me of a sadness in his life. His son, a rock musician

who performed under the name Rasul, real name Ali, died at age 32 four years ago. Mr. Rea’s had to move out of its long-time 16th Avenue store a couple of years ago to make way for Fresh St. Market. Now it will have to move again. If it continues. Like Giuseppe and all the other 1300-block’s south-side businesses, Mr. Hera was given notice a few months ago to vacate at the end of this month. Among others, after 35 yearsYoko’s Haute Couture and Spa is moving close to the Pinnacle Hotel in North Vancouver. Rainbow Nails, a “newcomer” of 11 years, has moved to Hollyburn Plaza. Station & Post is closing, its quaint furnishings stored until a new site can be found, so I was told.

I recently met Giuseppe on Marine Drive, one of those surprises you have when you see people out of their normal habitat. He was looking for a new location. A couple of weeks later he told me he couldn’t ﬁnd a place. “Too expensive.” Giuseppe is 70. Mr. Hera is 72. Maybe he could get a job elsewhere in the business, I suggested. Mr. Hera roared with laughter. “I never worked for anyone!” He has always run his own businesses. Mr. Hera and Giuseppe are being ousted to make way for Grosvenor America’s development, which will occupy the whole south-side 1300block. Of course glossier, up-market shoppes (fancier spelling) for Grosvenor’s tonier clientele will replace

them. When Giuseppe and Mr. Hera and their tiny businesses are gone, West Vancouver will suffer a distinct loss of character — and of characters, in the kind meaning, to describe Giuseppe and Mr. Hera. Fair enough. That’s progress, right? The bigger/ newer shall absorb the smaller/older, and in turn will be absorbed by the bigger still. I doubt if the Duke of Westminster, who owns the choicest chunks of central London, and his family, the Grosvenors, have ever heard of Mr. Hera and of Giuseppe. Or maybe not even of West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. ••• She’s more irresistible than Cleopatra — who, to See Christie page 12

VIEWPOINT

Public/private divide evident in B.C. Fed The two candidates running to replace Jim Sinclair as president of the B.C. Federation of Labour says a lot about the state of organized labour these days. Both candidates are former longtime public sector union activists. Amber Hockin was a CUPE staff member, while Irene Lanzinger is a former president of the B.C. Teachers Federation. The fact they are both from the public side of labour, rather than the private sector, is a crucial distinction. Organized labour’s relevancy and inﬂuence has waned considerably in the private sector. Just 16 per cent of the private sector workforce in Canada is a member of a union; this compares to more than 70 per cent of public sector workers. It’s notable that, as of this writing, only public sector unions had endorsed either candidate. I assume that eventually some private sector unions will back their candidacies, but clearly

View from the Ledge

getting the backing of the more powerful public sector unions is more important. To the best of my knowledge, the B.C. Federation of Labour has never been led by someone from a public sector union (Sinclair was from the old United Fisherman’s Union, while his predecessor, Ken Georgetti, was from the United Steelworkers and, before him, presidents Art Kube, Jim Kinnaird and Len Guy were all private sector union activists). As a result, will a schism form within the Fed itself, one that pits the interests and priorities of public sector

workers against those in the private sector? I’ve heard grumbling from private sector labour activists who feel Sinclair was pushed aside by public sector union interests. And will either Hockin or Lanzinger continue to work — as Sinclair and Building Trades Council president Tom Sigurdson did — with Premier Christy Clark in a quasi-partnership to boost skills training efforts to get more people into the trades to work on natural resource projects? Or will they fall back into a more antagonistic relationship with the government? Whichever one of them wins, however, will mark a turning point in the history of organized labour in the province. Its glory days — when it could literally shut down the economy of B.C. — are clearly over, as it has largely become a government workerdominated organization.

not to give the Site C dam the green light, but there is an emerging impression that any enthusiasm the B.C. Liberal government may have for the project is perhaps slowly waning. That’s the impression I got after receiving an outof-the-blue phone call last week from Energy Minister Bill Bennett, a guy you can usually count on to display

strong support for anything that puts shovels in the ground and creates jobs. Bennett phoned to dispute my earlier on-air characterization of him as being the chief cheerleader for Site C. Not so, Bennett told me. In fact, he said he was genuinely torn about whether the project should be built, and recounted to me the validity of all the

opposing views he’s heard along the way. More telling, perhaps, was his disclosure to me that the government caucus was “split” on whether the dam should be built. Earlier that day, he acknowledged to the media that the project lacked any support from First Nations, See $8 billion page 9

MORRIS FOR MAYOR

Did you know that the City of North Vancouver has an ‘Election Signage Policy’? Did you know that the policy states, amongst other things, that: “Election signs are not permitted on City streets, vacant City-owned lots, parks, and boulevards except as hereinafter provided…” Did you know that section 2.6 of the Election Signage Policy states “…Signs must be more than 5 feet from the curb.” Did you also know that the incumbent Mayor has purchased advertising in all the key bicycle topper advertising spaces throughout the City, all of which are located within 5 feet of the curb, and on City owned streets? How’s that possible you ask? Good question. Apparently the City’s Chief Election Officer granted a waiver to the Mayor’s campaign.

“FOR A BETTER TOMORROW”

Do you think the Mayor should be granted the right to breach the ‘Election Signage Policy’? I don’t.

$8 billion price tag a concern From page 7

and he told me he didn’t expect that to change any time soon. A lack of First Nations support (indeed, there is instead considerable opposition to the project from that constituency) is just one of the factors stacking up against Site C. Bennett admitted to me that Site C’s estimated price tag of $8 billion would add hugely to the province’s debt load, and that was a concern. He also admitted other, smaller energy projects may just as easily answer the need of the province’s future energy demands. In summary, he listed a lot more reasons why the dam shouldn’t be built than why it should. And remember, Bennett isn’t the kind of politician who “spins” things and sticks to a government message box. He can be counted on for bluntly telling you what he really thinks and, for now at least, he doesn’t seem to be on the Site C bandwagon. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Shooting a ‘wake-up call’: Saxton From page 1

“It’s a wake-up call,” said Saxton. “We’re not immune to what’s going on out there. It has come home.” Weston said he was in a Conservative caucus meeting Wednesday morning, expecting to discuss a national health and ﬁtness bill, when “suddenly there were two large bangs.” Both MPs said the sounds caught everyone’s attention.Then there was the sound of “this rain of bullets — they seemed to be coming on both sides of the room,” said Weston. “It was right outside the door,” said Saxton. “Everybody hit the deck.” The MPs said they later found out most of the shots they heard were ﬁred by Parliament Hill security forces going after the man who shot his way into the building after killing a military guard at the national cenotaph. But at the time

that wasn’t clear. “We were thinking there were a number of gunman who might be shooting at security . . . and we were their ultimate targets,” said Saxton. “We thought multiple gunmen were trying to take down the government.We absolutely felt if there were numerous gunmen they were going to kill us.” Several members of the caucus with backgrounds in the RCMP and military service quickly jumped into action, saidWeston, throwing chairs against doors in the room to act as a barricade and grabbing ﬂag poles to use as weapons against a possible attacker, he said. “We were certainly at one point expecting the worst.” Prime Minister Stephen Harper was with MPs in the meeting room during the early moments of the drama but was quickly whisked away by security to “a safe place,” said Saxton,

while the caucus remained under lockdown inside the building. By that point, the gunman — identiﬁed as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau — had been shot and killed by House of Commons Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers near the Library of Parliament. But police and security took several hours to search the Parliament buildings to make sure there was no second gunman. As the incident continued, MPs were able to contact their families and assure everyone they were safe, said Weston.They were also able to follow the unfolding events over the Internet. The showdown in the Centre Block of Parliament followed the fatal shooting of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, a soldier standing guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a short distance from Parliament Hill.The gunman then reportedly

drove a short distance to the Centre Block of Parliament and exchanged gunﬁre with security there before walking past the room where the Conservative caucus was meeting. He was then confronted by Parliament Hill security and RCMP ofﬁcers and shot by Vickers. Weston said it was important for MPs to go back to Parliament on Thursday and show that Canada’s democratic

institutions are still functioning. Both MPs said the incident means Ottawa will have to consider new measures that balance citizens’ freedoms with greater security. Both Weston and Saxton praised the security response. “I have great admiration and gratitude for security people on the hill,”Weston said.

Stop Uber, cab drivers ask City council urged to block ridesharing app from setting up shop

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Web-based vehiclefor-hire company Uber can expect bylaw enforcement if it opts to start up in the City of North Vancouver without a licence. Council passed a motion Monday night calling on the province to maintain its regulatory regime that makes the tech giant’s business model incompatible with B.C. laws. The motion followed a request from Gurdip Sahota, general manager of North Shore Taxi and Paul Gill, manager of Sunshine Cabs, the two taxi companies on the North Shore. Uber hires drivers to use their own vehicles to pick up and drop off fares after being dispatched through a smartphone app. All payment is prearranged through the app with the user’s credit car. Since its inception, Uber has spread to 250 cities around the

world and tech investment speculators have pushed the company’s value to $18 billion. Uber has posted ads looking to hire drivers in the Lower Mainland though it hasn’t had to jump through any of the same hoops the heavily regulated taxi industry has, Sahota said. “Uber’s modus operandi so far has been to try and get local municipal staff or regulators to change the rules to fit their transportation business model rather than to adhere to existing requirements. Our concern here is they are going to do the same thing,” Sahota said. Under provincial law, taxi drivers must be licensed by the Passenger Transportation Board in Victoria and they must carry a minimum $5 million in liability insurance, attend five days of courses at the Justice Institute of B.C in safety and dealing with customers with disabilities. Drivers must also hold a Class 4 or higher licence and obtain a chauffeur’s permit form the local police after a criminal background check. Beyond that, taxi companies must also provide vehicles accessible to people with disabilities and their cabs must be fitted

with a security camera and GPS computer and face inspection by the province every six months. And unlike an Uber driver’s personal vehicle, taxis must be properly identiﬁed on the outside with a company name and vehicle number. The lack of oversight puts Uber’s drivers and passengers at risk, Gill said. “It is an illegal taxi operation.They do it in a way where you don’t know who is driving the cabs, what vehicle it is, where the person was picked up, where he was dropped off, what happened to them on the way and where they took them if, god forbid, something happens to them,” he said. Though much of the discussion was based on the regulations and public safety aspects of Uber’s business model, their threat to the monopoly of vehicles-forhire wasn’t ignored.Taxi ridership is down 65 per cent since Uber came online and ﬂooded the market with drivers, Sahota said. “It would present an existential threat to our business,” Sahota said. Coun. Craig Keating put forward the motion urging for the status quo when it comes to drivers on demand. “I get how Uber as a ride-

share program sounds nifty. I get how adding consumer choice sounds nifty and a good thing to do, but in an entirely unregulated way, that is not healthy for anybody. It’s not healthy for safety. It’s not healthy for the taxi industry and at the very least, it’s unhealthy for the principle that vehicles for hire ought to be licensed . . . for everyone in the province,”he said. Coun Rod Clark agreed, saying he was put off by a pages-long list of news stories about Uber drivers being arrested for crimes they were accused of committing on the job. “It’s not about the monopoly. It’s about community safety,” Clark said. Jeff Weshler, Uber’s general manager in charge of expansion in Canada, brieﬂy addressed council at the meeting’s start, requesting his company be allowed a formal delegation as well to share its side of the story. “Our primary goal is to provide a balanced perspective to many of the unsubstantiated, factually inaccurate statements you’ll hear later today,” he said.

NSR hikes out lost mountain biker

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

North Shore Rescue is issuing a warning about afternoon trips to the backcountry after hiking a lost mountain biker out of the bush in the dark. North Vancouver RCMP paged the team of volunteers around 4 p.m. Sunday, alerting them to a man stuck on the edge of Mosquito Creek on Grouse Mountain. The subject was riding the Executioner and Dream Weaver trails when he lost his way. Making the search somewhat easier, the mountain biker was armed with a cellphone and GPS system and North Shore Rescue members got to the area quickly. “Although we had voice contact, it did take quite a bit of effort to actually locate him because he was in very thick forest and he was in very steep terrain,” said search manager Doug Pope. “He had taken a fall in his ordeal and he was well off-trail and lost but otherwise he was in good shape.” The team loaned him a pair of hiking boots and

helped him carry his bike out, straight up the creek bank to the base of the Cut ski run. From there, Grouse staff helped the man back to civilization. But by the time they made it out at 6:30 p.m., the sun had already set, requiring the last 30 minutes of hiking to be done with the aid of headlamps. Backcountry adventurers need to pay closer attention to the earlier sunsets before heading out, Pope said. “It is getting darker, quicker. Make a route plan and let people know where you’re going. Part of that route plan is looking at what time sunset is and planning your hike accordingly so you can get out before dark,” Pope said. “That’s the most frequent type of call we’re getting this time of year — people starting their hike too late and then getting stuck in the dark.” Headlamps and ﬂashlights are highly recommended for anyone going into the backcountry. Night searches are more challenging and put rescuers and subjects at more risk, he added.

Cecilia String Quartet stretch out on theWest Coast

Music on Main

ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com

Members of the Cecilia String Quartet are continuing to seek out opportunities for innovative collaborations, particularly those helping to attract younger generations to the classical music genre. Celebrating their 10th anniversary as an ensemble, their passion for the form is undeniable. “The music for a string quartet is the ultimate expression. It’s the most revered form of musical conversation. I think the four of us all agree: It doesn’t get any better than this,” says MinJeong Koh.The quartet’s ﬁrst violinist spoke to the North Shore News Wednesday after ﬂying from her home base inToronto to Vancouver for the ensemble’s upcoming string of seven local performances that got underway Thursday. With the exception of their performance on Sunday, Oct. 26 at 4 p.m. at West Vancouver’s Kay Meek Centre, the quartet’s upcoming local appearances are all part of Music on Main’s Modulus Festival, Oct 23-29.

I don’t want them to think that it’s stuffy, I want them to think it’s approachable, it’s cool. . . . An opportunity like this couldn’t have been missed, so we just jumped at it,” she adds. The Cecilia String Quartet will be part of a three-night run of Dances for a Small Stage 31 at Vancouver’s Ukrainian Centre.The ﬁrst show was last night and they’ll repeat the program tonight and tomorrow at 8 p.m. Dances for a Small Stage seeks to showcase dance in an unconventional venue, offering a unique, intimate and cabaret-style atmosphere.

Wainwright plays with his muse Brilliant singer/songwriter performs tonight at Cap U

■ LoudonWainwright III,The BlueShore at Capilano University, Friday, Oct. 24, 8 p.m. JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

God and Satan, sad clowns, city dogs and dry counties abound in the newest album from singer/songwriter and notable parent LoudonWainwright III. Haven’t Got the Blues (Yet) features 14 tracks from Wainwright, 68, whose playfulness with the pen belies his more than four decades on the fringe of the spotlight. Now perhaps best known for children Rufus and Martha, Wainwright’s career dates back to being one of a few unfortunate talents branded the New Bob Dylan. Played mainly over spare arrangements,Wainwright’s new release touches on ennui, parking spaces, love and Zoloft. Speaking to the North Shore News from a bed and breakfast in Portland, Oregon,Wainwright, describes the journalistic clarity of his lyrics. It’s a craft he inherited from his father, longtime Life magazine columnist Loudon Snowden Wainwright. “He was a big influence on all levels, as most parents are,” he says. That influence can be seen in his recent concerts, which feature recitations from his father’s column, TheView From Here.The columns are about life and family and include one story about having to put down the family dog, “which kills people,”Wainwright says with a laugh. “It adds a dimension to the show which is quite unusual and makes it special. It sure makes it special for me,” Wainwright says of marrying his father’s columns to his melodies. “He died over 25 years ago, but we’re connecting now better than we ever have.” While most of Wainwright’s new songs featuring twanging guitars that could’ve been recorded on a Chapel Hill porch, the album opens with the up-tempo frenzy of “Brand New Dance,” which bursts with life and tilts at death. “You’ve got a brand new dance and it goes like this, you wake up in the morning and look into the abyss,”Wainwright sings. After hearing a demo for the song with voice and guitar, producer David Mansfield opted to “rock it up a little,” adding piano and horns, according toWainwright. As someone who grew up listening to “so-called novelty songs,” like ‘Poisoning Pigeons in the Park’ and ‘Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh,’Wainwright’s tunes are rarely without comedy. ‘Brand New Dance’ features lyrics like: “I’ve got a new smell and it’s called the old man, a new taste sensation I’d say it was bland. But that senior discount, that’s my kind of treat, and when I get on the bus, you’ve got to give me a seat!” Comedy is a way to lighten a bleak path and unsettle the audience,Wainwright explains. k5/TTc >0/5)&0XSSXS\ T24X+X/S f:2):S B/XS05X\Z3 iii 5_U_/4_) ZX4 U/3_43 /U-2T' A8RNC2$ “I like to goof around a little bit and then get serious and B,$ $KN 0E"N% OPN$;' :S `5:8_5 G_+:5)4 XS h2Uc% `jbEb FD``fi9; then go back to goofing around.” Goofing begets seething satire on the sleepy tune, “I’ll Be KillingYouThis Christmas,” which sounds like something Bing Crosby might’ve crooned in an psychotic stupor. “Santa’s packing heat this Christmas,”Wainwright sings, accompanied own misery. Depression is universal, but when he asks if you’ll, “re-read some by a mellow guitar and a hiss that gives the track a feel like old vinyl. “In old fan letter, or head to the nearest barroom to stay drunk until it gets better,” your school, your church and your department store.The evidence is hazy, it’s difficult to imagine he’s singing about anyone but himself. background checks can’t kill the crazy.We need firepower that can win a war.” The album’s autobiographical bent takes a surreal turn on “Harlan The song features bells jingling whileWainwright informs the listener County,” a bluegrass ballad about a thirsty man on dry land. they can’t pry his fingers from the 100-round clip guaranteed by the second The song was written five years ago as a potential theme song for the amendment and lobbied for by the National Rifle Association.

Nic Harrison remembers with haunting clarity the day he was brutally attacked in an alley. It was Dec. 7. He was in Grade 5. Two kids, one of them a teenager, knocked him to the snowy ground and proceeded to kick him repeatedly with steel-toed work boots. “They basically left me there for dead,” he says. Sadly, this wasn’t the ﬁrst time Harrison was beaten and it wouldn’t be the last. As an overweight child growing up in Prince George, Harrison says he was a favourite target for bullies — and not just school-aged bullies. In his earlier years, he attended a Catholic school where he says he was the victim of physical and sexual abuse at the hands of his authority ﬁgures. Fearing God’s punishment, Harrison says he did not admit the abuse to his parents until one warm day when he could no longer hide the marks left on his skin from an electrical cord lashing. “(My mother) made me put on a shirt and shorts

The truth came out. Harrison’s mother pulled him from the Catholic school in Grade 4 and enrolled him in a local public school. The sexual abuse ended there, he says, but he continued to be physically and emotionally bullied by his peers until well into his teens. Even so, that Dec. 7 attack did mark a turning point of sorts. “When I recovered from

that, my parents decided to put me into martial arts to learn how to defend myself because I never struck back, I would just take it.” He started learning selfdefense and karate. After high school, while studying drama at the London Academy of Performing Arts in England, he discovered kendo, a Japanese form of fencing that allowed him to fulﬁll his childhood fantasy of being a light-saber-wielding Jedi, and became a member of the British kendo team. Today Harrison is a professional stunt

performer, fight director and director for theatre, film and TV. He is also a veteran improviser and teaches theatre at Capilano University. Currently, Harrison is serving as fight director for Vancouver Opera’s world premiere of Stickboy, which runs until Nov. 7 at the Vancouver Playhouse. Composed by Neil Weisensel and with libretto by spoken-word artist Shane Koyczan, the opera tells Koyczan’s real-life story of being bullied in school. SeeVictims page 19

Victims respond to the abuse in different ways From page 18 Harrison jumped at the chance to be part of Stickboy. “This is the kind of show I would work on for free because I really believe in getting the message out about how kids are bullied,” he says. As ﬁght director, he is responsible for choreographing the violent and active moments in the story and, at Koyczan’s request, has given the simulated ﬁghts a realistic look. “It actually makes it quite shocking when some of these moments happen,” he says. Unlike Koyczan, who, after years of torment, says he himself turned into a bully, Harrison became withdrawn in his youth.

“When I was abused, instead of lashing out and becoming a bully myself, I completely turned inward and got into hiding within books and hiding within pop culture and things like that. That was my escape,” he says. “Because of the extent of the abuse that happened to me, and especially the sexual abuse, I think it made me more afraid of any kind of interaction with people, adults and children, so I isolated myself more.” One pop culture phenomenon that Harrison credits with helping him survive school is the movie StarWars. In fact, he describes just how the ﬁlm inﬂuenced him in an essay published at starwarssavedmylife. wordpress.com. Today, with two

children of his own — a 12-year-old son (who has been practising martial arts since he was three) and an eight-year-old daughter — Harrison admits he can be an “overly cautious” parent because of his own past. But his wife keeps him in check, he says. Although Stickboy is Koyczan’s autobiographical tale, Harrison believes the story will resonate with anyone who has ever been bullied, been a bully, or witnessed bullying — regardless of gender. “Just because it’s a male character that this happened to, there’s no boundaries about the extent of bullying and how it affects people, male or female, so it’s something that I think everyone will be able to ﬁnd a relation to one way or another.”

Participating merchants will all have door posters, and coloured navigational balloons will be throughout the village to guide your children.

■ We Animals by JoAnne McArthur, Lantern Books, 206 pages, $44.66 Jo-Anne McArthur’s photographs are beautifully composed but not always easy to look at. Animal’s lives in captivity, their treatment and ultimate deaths are where she trains her lens. Many pictures we see in support of animal wellbeing are taken with the best intentions but by activists not photographers. McArthur is both, and she does both well. After discovering her love for photography McArthur was encouraged by her mentor, LarryTowell, to ﬁnd out what her point of view truly was and to explore it. At that moment her passion for picture taking and animal rights joined perfectly and soon afterwards the We Animals project was born. Her images promote the position that we are all animals, ‘sentient beings with a will and desire to live free from harm and fear.’ McArthur takes the hard photos, the ones that we don’t always want to see, but through her talent with a camera, she presents them so artistically that we are drawn back to see both the image and the message. The photographs in this

book all tell a story and beside each one she provides the location and date the picture was taken, then goes on to talk about what is going on.We often assume that the abuse happens elsewhere but her captions will force you to rethink that.The bald eagle trapped behind its wire outdoor enclosure can only look at the blue sky beyond as its days are spent at an Ontario Safari Park. As challenging as her photos of animals kept in tiny cages their whole lives are, the ﬂip side of animals who’ve been rescued and lived out their remaining years in peaceful surroundings are as rewarding. Her call is not that we all become vegan but rather that we accept responsibility for the way we treat the animals that sustain us. We have a moral obligation to the creatures we share this planet with to act in a See Outstanding page 21

DEVELOPMENTS

URBAN MEETS NATURE AT THE NORTH SHORE’S X61 At the gateway to one of nature’s biggest playground is where you will find X61 - a stunning contemporary building. Vivagrand Development unveils its new lowrise in the North Shore – a four level mixed use boutique building encompassing 41 condominiums, in the heart of the North Shore’s reenergized Marine Drive district. The North Shore is blessed with an abundance of natural beauty – from the majestic Nor th Shore Mountains, to spectacular ocean views and seemingly endless hiking trails. These are the reasons so many young professionals and outdoor enthusiasts choose to live here. Now they have another reason – X61. In this vibrant metropolis, X61 is located close to everything an urbanite wants and yet minutes from the best Mother Nature has to offer, including Mosquito Creek with the Trans Canada Trail. “You are walking distance from Capilano Mall, close to the Trans Canada Trail, the Lion’s Gate Bridge and the Seabus. Buyers who live here won’t have to choose between urban living or a natural location” says Lindsay Maciver, marketing manager at X61. “Where else can you get the best of both worlds starting from the mid-$200,000?” The collection of West coast inspired residences, one, two and three bedrooms condominiums (with townhomes off the second level), range from just under 500 square feet to just over 1300. The contemporary open concept floor plans feature finishes such as elegant laminate flooring, plush carpeting in the bedrooms and sheer weave window roller shades on all exterior facing windows for privacy and to allow for lots of natural light. The gourmet-inspired kitchens feature polished Quartz countertops, glazed tile backsplash, contemporary laminate cabinetry, a premium Fisher & Paykel stainless steel appliance package, including a gas cook top, and laminate open cubby kitchen island for extra storage. During balmy evenings, head out onto your spacious balcony and patio (on most homes) or the generous landscaped courtyard with a public walkway through an internal courtyard. Perhaps its most stunning feature is the West Coast landscaped second level rooftop deck, which takes in panoramic views of the cityscape, mountains and ocean. Imagine entertaining your family and friends on this outdoor oasis? X61 comes from a developer Vivagrand who is professionally invested in building quality, well-designed homes throughout the Lower Mainland, as well as 22 years of development

experience in China. With contemporary architecture and a city centre location, X61 offers the best of North Shore living at an incredibly affordable price. Nestled in a community within walking distance to hiking and biking trails and unlimited recreational opportunities, these homes will go fast! Don’t miss this opportunity to buy in arguably one of the most desirable districts in the Lower Mainland, minutes away from abundant social activity and services. Mark your calendars: X61 is hosting an Neighborhood Open House on Saturday, Oct. 25 from noon to 5 p.m. at its Presentation Centre. They invite neighbours and prospective buyers to come and discover what X61 offers. “There will be delicious food, a chance to view our beautiful two-bedroom display home and exciting incentives,” adds Maciver. The X61 sales centre and show home, located at 1061 Marine Drive, North Vancouver, is open every day, except Fridays, from noon to 5 p.m. For more information, call 604-971-3181, email at info@ x61living.com or visit www.x61living.com. Tentative occupancy is slated for fall 2016.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to FASHION & STYLE

Pop tops reborn as accessories Products made in artisan co-operatives in Brazil

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

BEAUTY SPOT Halloween nails and lashes page 28

Pull tabs, pop tops or “the aluminum doohickeys that open soda cans” — call them what you may, but those ubiquitous little pieces of metal that seem to exist for only one purpose have a life beyond the beverage container as far as Barbara Aylesworth is concerned. Aylesworth, a North Vancouver resident, recently launched Eco Design Chic, a new business through which she sells handbags and accessories made from recycled pop tops. The idea for this venture was planted four years ago when she was on vacation in the U.S. and purchased a handbag made of pop tops from a shop in Atlanta, Ga. “I’d never seen anything like it before. If I’m going to spend money on anything, I want it to be unique and different from everybody else,” she says. When she returned home and started carrying her new acquisition around town, it quickly became clear that she wasn’t the only one who had never before seen a pop top purse. “I brought it home and whenever I would wear it people would come up to me and say ‘Where did you get your bag?’” Aylesworth saw a business opportunity. So she tracked down the San Francisco-based company

that designed her bag and started bringing pop top accessories across the border for sale in North Vancouver. This past spring, she began holding regular trunk shows in her home where she could display the imported change purses, wallets, evening bags, handbags, totes, messenger bags, belts, necklaces, earrings, broaches and bracelets. Each piece consists of some 200 to 1,000 post-consumer pull tabs. Though the accessories are designed in California, they are manufactured in Brazil by more than 100 artisans, most of them women, in three different co-operatives. The artisans bind the tabs together using a traditional Brazilian crochet technique. For a personal touch, each piece comes with a tag signed by the person who made it. Prices for the accessories range from $20 for a pair of earrings to $415 for a large hobo bag. Aylesworth says her target market includes just about everybody — from the 16year-old girl who wants an edgy addition to her outﬁt, to the mature woman with an adventurous sense of style. In fact, Aylesworth’s 86-year-old mother owns a pop top necklace, bracelet and messenger bag. “Wherever she goes, people comment on it. So it’s for anybody who is fashion forward and who wants to make a statement with their accessories.” Since 1997, Aylesworth

Working in an industry that requires frequent trips to muddy construction sites, she says the idea of hosting

cookies was appealing. Her next trunk show is Sunday, Nov. 16, 1 to 4 p.m. Email info@ ecodesignchic.com for more info or to RSVP.

Stop Heartburn

and Reflux Naturally

Prevent reflux by having an alkaline balanced stomach with the Bell Acidic Stomach & Alkaline Balance #39. You may not need more chemicals or drugs ever after. Many millions suffer needlessly. Read the guarantee. Truthful actual experiences from real people: !Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC !Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief with noside effects and no antacids needed anymore. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA !Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking antacid products. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL !Burning in my stomach, bloating, headaches all stopped! For 20 years I was tortured with stomach acid, reflux, belching, even my brain was affected. Within 2 days after taking Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline balance I had relief of all my health problems I suffered with for so long. Floyd D. Davis, 89, Denham Springs, LA !Heartburn, acid reflux, stomach trouble for many years. Doctors gave me different pills, but I had no lasting relief. Had every test known to man. I finally talked to my health food store and they said Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance really works. It sure does. I had my husband and son take it and they all had the same results. I can now eat even spicy food with no problems. Verna Conti, 80, London, ON.

CONTROL WEIGHT

= CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD. Long term weight control without controlling blood sugar is destined to fail. This is why we have an epidemic of obesity. How it works: Stops the “roller coaster” of cravings and appetite to eat foods like sugar and starches that cause high blood glucose levels, which then brings on your pancreas to automatically pump insulin into your blood stream. Subsequently the high level of insulin precipitates low levels of blood glucose and cravings for more sugar and starchy carbohydrates (breads, noodles, crackers, cereals, french fries) which you don’t need and therefore it goes into unwanted fat storage and being overweight. Experts now recognize these basic facts.#40 Bell Blood Sugar Imbalance helps to stop this vicious cycle and puts you in control. Dr. Hammond says this natural product works 10 times better because it reprograms our brain and pancreas to release insulin in a controlled manner. Helpful non-fattening eating suggestions in the box. Fibers and exercise like walking are beneficial and help after you control the underlying basic blood sugar imbalance. ! Working in a health food store I heard people saying how well #40 works. I tried it myself. Finally a product that controls my blood sugar much better than what anything else we had in the store. Thank you for helping people around the world. Irene M. Urdialez, 43, Brynton Beach, FL ! My medical indicated prediabetic. I took #40. When re-tested readings were fine. This helped my metabolism and my weight is down 25 lbs. I am grateful to the health food store people for their advice. Michael O’Brien, 60, Rutherglen, ON ! I finally found the right #40 NPN 80040208 approach to lose weight. I tried for 3 years to lose weight. After starting #40 my blood sugar is stable now. I was able to stop overeating and lost my excess weight. Sara John, 40, Kitchener, ON ! I was struggling for 15 years with weight gain in spite of diet and exercise. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. I will forever be grateful to the store manager that explained to me to take #40 and read suggestions to avoid fattening foods. I lost 70 lbs. My fasting blood sugar is now 92. My 2 hour post meal glucose level is now 92 as well. My new shape raised my self-esteem and gave me immeasurable peace of mind. Karen Maples, 55, Clarksville, TN !Diabetic eliminated high blood sugar levels with #40. My readings were 140 to 200 and are now 99 to 122 range where I want it to be. Before I bought about 10 different supplement that were more expensive and didn’t work as well. I also lost some weight. A great improvement in my health and daily living.

Calming Stress

Helps to promote healthy mood balance, relaxation, use as a sleep aid and mental stress. Stress is one of the main causes of high blood pressure. Truthful experience by people: ! I am calm now in stressful situations! In the past 10 years I had a very short fuse, because my job is quite unpredictable. After I started Bell Calming Chronic Stress #66 the difference was amazing. My reactions to stressful situations are totally changed. I also have more energy, too. I don’t yell at others. I have more patience and I am much happier as well. Thank you. Mary-Anne Thompson, 61, Lasalle, ON ! It truly made me feel calmer. I was able to better cope with stress and was not afraid to deal with stressful situations head-on, instead of avoiding them as I had done in the past. Consequently I was also able to sleep better at night. No more waking up hyperventilating from stress of the day. Peter Armbruster, 48, Waterloo, ON. ! I have a very high stress career in the film industry. There was no time for relaxation or meditation as you are on demand for 12-15 hours a day with no breaks. Since using Bell #66I am able to focus on the tasks at hand with more patience. Thank you for your help! Christina Ollson, 36, Burnaby, BC !It’s exactly one year since we began using Bell Calming Chronic Stress #66 for our two #66 NPN 80041855 sons. Our local health food store recommended it. Both of our sons suffer from anxiety disorders. Our older son (14) was going through puberty and had become quite unmanageable, because he is much larger than I am. We are delighted with the immediate results. Our older son became his former sweet self and our younger son’s (12) anxiety is dramatically reduced. Thank you so much.

Whiplash cuts to the beat ■ Whiplash.Written and directed by Damien Chazelle. Starring Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons. Rating: 9 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD ContributingWriter

There have been plenty of films about artistic torment and the rocky mentor-student relationship that often leads to success. But it has been some time since we’ve seen a mentor as maniacal asTerence Fletcher. Fletcher (J.K. Simmons) is maestro of an elite jazz ensemble at the lauded (fictional) Shaffer School in Manhattan. He plucks 19-year-old Andrew Neiman (MilesTeller) from the obscurity of his college class to participate in his band. Andrew starts out by turning pages for the “core” drummer, but it isn’t long before he gets his chance. First, Fletcher gives him a little pep talk in the hall. “You’re here for a reason, you believe that, right?” setting him up for a huge come-down.The insults start flying, immediately: Fletcher introduces Andrew, the youngest member of the band, with a sarcastic “isn’t he cute?”; he uses information about Andrew’s family, told in confidence, to

belittle him further. Fletcher “motivates” his musicians by calling them names.There are religious slurs, fat jokes and sexual insults extending to places we can’t print here. All in the name of pushing his artists to be better. Fletcher’s theory, that kid gloves never produced great artistry, has merit. “There are no two words in the English language more harmful than ‘good job’,” he says. It’s the reason ballerinas, gymnasts and Heisman-trophy winners have historically put up with behaviour the rest of us would ﬁnd intolerable. But Andrew takes it, getting demoted and promoted, and enduring physical and verbal abuse beyond limit. He wants to be like his idol, Buddy Rich. “I want to be great,” he says, before correcting himself. “I want to be one of the greats.” To that end, relationships — with a would-be girlfriend (Melissa Benoist) and with his only friend, his dad (Paul Reiser) — just get in the way, as far as Andrew is concerned. The put-downs continue at home over family dinner. Dad is a failed writer teaching high-school English, an indignity that Andrew refuses to repeat.The boys at the table — third-tier football players and school debaters — all get more

kudos round the dinner table than Andrew, whose chosen career is seen as a hobby and a certain path to heroin addiction and early death. The band makes the rounds of jazz fest competitions, playing Hank Levy’s “Whiplash” and, memorably, the entirety of JuanTizol’s “Caravan,” first performed by Duke Ellington in 1936. There are blood blisters and open wounds accompanied by copious bleeding on the drum kit, and gallons and gallons of sweat. Andrew hits rockbottom and Fletcher gets his due. Fletcher’s revenge is a sweet surprise, as is Andrew’s last-act solution. Unrealistic? Maybe. But we are mesmerized by the symbiotically destructive relationship between teacher and student, nonetheless. The film is based on Damien Chazelle’s 18minute short (also starring Simmons) which won the Short Film Jury Prize at last year’s Sundance.This year, after the feature was rushed into competition, it earned both the Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and the Dramatic Audience Award. It’s a magnificent character study in a perfectly trim 106 minutes. (Editing byTom Cross is fantastically efficient, often cutting to

the beat.) No extraneous personal-history scenes: we don’t require a complete background on these characters to appreciate their motivations and the people they become as soon as they set foot in the rehearsal studio. The performance is a triumph for Simmons, who will never be called “the dad in Juno” or “the Farmer’s Insurance Guy” again. And if The Spectacular Now wasn’t enough to announce Teller’s graduation from comedic roles (21 And Over, Footloose), Whiplash screams that the actor has arrived. Amazingly,Teller reportedly did all his own drumming in the film. Chazelle and Director of Photography Sharone Meir even manage to make the mundane intense: reed preparation, case locks snapping, bloody band-aids all carry weight and menace when shot in close-up. That’s nothing compared to the tight shots of Fletcher screaming inches away from his student, spittle flying, and Andrew drumming as if his life depended on it. The title is fitting. I walked away from Whiplash with a headache. Not because of all that pounding on the drums but because of the tension, which never lets up, not for a second, not for a paradiddle.

CALENDAR

Quartet supporting dancers on stage From page 13 with MovEnt, and in addition to being entertained by the collaborative contemporary dance and musical performances, guests are encouraged to sit back and enjoy drinks, perogies and kielbasa. Doors, bar and Ukrainian dinner will open at 7 p.m. “We’re actually playing Tchaikovsky’s ﬁrst quartet but each movement has been choreographed with a different type of dance and a different type of dancer,” says Koh. “The ﬁrst movement — the ending sounds very similar to his ballet, The Nutcracker, so we always envisioned it playing as more the back up orchestra to a group of dancers, so it’s really exciting that we get to perform the work with live dancers on stage,” she adds. Koh has thoroughly enjoyed getting an insider’s view into the dancers’ and choreographers’ creative process, noting the vast differences from the classical music world. While obviously a lot of work has been put into the choreography, the pieces are ultimately still worksin-progress, a refreshing concept. “As we were rehearsing yesterday and the day before, they were changing so many things on the spot,” says Koh. “They’re just so inspirational and in-themoment type of artists. We’re doing the same show three times with them this week — Thursday, Friday, Saturday — and I bet you

;/S+_5 C/S_44/ k::)T/S 8_5^:5T4 0X3Z 3Z_ <_+XUX/ F35XS\ H2/53_3 /3 ;/S+_4 ^:5 / FT/UU F3/\_ R!% `jbEb FD``fi9; any money they’ll probably change it every night . . . . That’s really exciting because being classical musicians we don’t do that. I mean there are things that we will do that are a little bit different every night, but the notes are ﬁxed, it’s not improvisatory,” she adds. The second act of Dances for a Small Stage 31 will showcase the work of composer, provocateur, and plunderphonics inventor John Oswald, who will be in attendance. The

Cecilia String Quartet will serve a supporting role in the performance, also showcasing Toronto-based choreographer and dancer Holly Small. Other artists featured over the course of the evening include host Billy Marchenski, choreographer Karissa Barry, dancer Makala Wallace, choreographer and dancer Stewart Iguidez, and choreographer and dancer Vanessa Goodman. The Cecilia String

Quartet will perform three additional shows as part of the Modulus Festival at Vancouver’s Heritage Hall, two of which are also collaborations. At Machines Think Love on Tuesday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m., they’ll perform a work by Canadian composer, Michael Oesterle.They’ll be joined by fellow Torontobased soprano Carla Huhtanen for the piece, entitled Sweat and Mirror notwithstanding. “She is wild. The piece

that we’re doing with her has her making all sorts of peculiar sounds — some retching, some screaming,” says Koh. Later that evening at 9 p.m., at a performance called Transﬁgured Night, they’ll perform as a sextet, joined by an additional viola player, Tawnya Popoff, and cellist Rebecca Wenham, who was a founding member of the Cecilia String Quartet, having left the ensemble four years ago after moving

to Vancouver. “We haven’t collaborated with her since so it’s going to be an amazing event,” says Koh. Together they’ll play Arnold Schoenberg’s 1899 classic Verklärte Nacht, or Transﬁgured Night. The ﬁnal festival concert the quartet will play features them only and is set for closing night, Wednesday, Oct. 29 at 9 p.m. Their program includes works by Franz Schubert and Felix Mendelssohn. At the Kay Meek Centre on Sunday, the group plans to perform: Ludwig van Beethoven’s String Quartet Op. 18 No. 1: Tchaikovsky’s String Quartet No. 1, which they’re performing at Dances for a Small Stage 31; and Leoš Janá ek’s String Quartet No. 1. It’s nicknamed “The Kreutzer Sonata” because it’s based on Leo Tolstoy’s novella of the same name, says Koh, adding the sonata was featured on their last album, released on the ANALEKTA label in 2013, entitled Amoroso: Janácek, Berg,Webern. The Cecilia String Quartet is planning to record its next album in April 2015, focusing on Mendelssohn. The following year, they hope to record a series of pieces they’ve commissioned by four Canadian female composers. “It’s exciting because they’re going to be written just for us, but also we’re using this opportunity to celebrate Canadian women composers,” says Koh.

2015 Porsche Cayman GTS

Meet the Porsche you want If you ﬁnd the sea of models and options swirling around the 911 to be too much to fathom, then the rock to cling to bears three little letters: GTS. Where Porsches are concerned, these are always the best of them. Not the most hardcore, not the most luxurious, but the best blend of both. Of course, we’ll have

to wait a while to see what the new 911 GTS is like, but in the meantime the Panamera GTS is a hoot despite the heft, and the Cayenne GTS is the spiciest SUV Stuttgart makes. Now, there’s this, a GTS version of the Cayman. I already quite like the Cayman. On paper, it’s not much more than a Boxster with a ﬁxed roof,

but climb behind the wheel and everything just sort of ﬁts. It’s leaner than the 911, more compact, defter-feeling. The former is a grand tourer, but the Cayman and the Boxster have grown to be the true sportscars in the Porsche range. With a GTS version, Porsche expands the choice available to Cayman customers — well actually,

that’s not really true. What they’ve actually done is make the choice simple. Trust me, this is the one you want.

Design From certain angles, the old Cayman didn’t quite have the cohesive feel it does now. The drive was there, but the Boxster See Hit page 56

Nissan lets loose tiny track terror

A biweekly roundup of automotive news, good, bad and just plain weird:

Nissan’s Micra race car I love you Nissan. No, not because of the GT-R. Not because of the 370Z, or the Juke R, or even because of the wacky Pike Factory cars like the Figaro (although those are pretty good). I love you because you decided to turn the cheapest car in Canada into a race car. Meet the Micra racer, a Nismo-tuned pocket rocket with exactly no more horsepower than the standard street car, but a beefed-up suspension and tons of attitude. It’s got a roll cage. It’s got a ﬁve-point racing harness. It’s a fullﬂedged racing machine for about the same price as a Sentra with air conditioning. Now, some of you may be saying, “No more power? Doesn’t that thing have like 109 h.p.?”Well yes, it’s no ballistic missile. However, just imagine 25 of these things entering a corner at full speed, banging wheels and trading paint, and struggling for position like an explosion at the Ikea ball pit. It’d be the most fun ever. The inaugural Micra Cup kicks off in Quebec in May of next year.Where’s my old French high school textbook? Je vais courses!

An end to the naturally aspirated 911? With more and more pressure coming to bear on European automakers to meet emission standards, the turbocharger is going through a second renaissance.There’s no better way to make good power, yet still have low greenhouse gas production, than with a smalldisplacement engine ﬁtted with forced induction. Porsche has been all about turbo technology for decades, from the completely insane RSR LeMans racers to the ultracapable 959. Now, there are rumours that turbocharging is going to spread across the 911 range in an effort to combine power with

Braking News

the demand for greater efﬁciency. So what might that look like? Well, if you scan both the Panamera and Macan lineups, you’ll ﬁnd turbochargers at nearly every level.The Panamera GTS still gets a thundering V-8, but the standard S gets a twin-turbo six with much better economy, and very responsive torque. All Macans are turbocharged (leading to some confusion about why there’s only one Macan Turbo, but I digress), just with varying power levels. The current rumour is that the base 911 would see a bump in power to accompany a downsized displacement, to quell any complaints about reduced performance.With a midcycle refresh coming soon, might we soon see an end to the naturally aspirated cars? The enthusiasts might miss them, but remember, this is the same Porsche that eliminated the stick-shift from the GT3.

The year of total recall If you follow automotive news regularly, you might well be suffering from recall fatigue. It seems like every ﬁfth story this year has been some variation on yet another manufacturer recall, some minor, some major, some terrifying (GM’s ignition woes), some slightly hilarious (Suzuki’s spider woes).Well, I suppose the spider one is hilarious and terrifying, all at once. Apparently, the numbers are something like one in ﬁve cars have been recalled this year. Even Ford’s new

Billboard breasts cause traffic chaos From page 54 Mustang, which is only just barely available, has already had a limited recall. As a result, consumers may be overloaded with information and simply not bother to check in on the status of their car. More worrisome is that manufacturers really have no way of contacting those who have picked up their car on the used market, particularly in private sales. Especially with more serious recalls like the Takata airbag problem affecting some Hondas and Toyotas, it’s vital to check to make sure your car is up-todate. Simply asking your dealership service advisor to run the VIN at your next oil change is worth it. Giant naked breasts cause 500+ accidents in Moscow Heavens, that recall stuff was all very serious. I wonder what’s going on in Russia this week? Ah, there we go — much more entertaining. Huge billboards displaying a set of barely covered breasts were responsible for 517 accidents in the capital city of Moscow this week. Now there’s a sentence you’d like to trot out in front of Lenin’s ghost. The mobile billboards were meant to advertise an advertising company called AdvTruck which — oh, you can ﬁgure out what they do. The text on the strategically positioned bar read (in Russian, of course), “They attract.” Apparently “they” attracted all sorts of attention, turning downtown

Moscow into a session of bumpercars. AdvTruck says they will cover all costs for accidents they caused, beyond what’s already covered by insurance. Ford readying SEMA entrants The Specialty Equipment Marketing Association show is always a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand we have some wild and woolly fabrications that can delve deeply into the realm of silliness. On the other hand, sometimes the manufacturers fall a bit short, choosing to simply slap on a set of bit wheels and call it a day. Ford, however, has been on something of a roll at SEMA of late, with four straight years of taking the Hottest Truck award for having the best hatchback. No, just kidding — for having the best truck. This year’s entry, based on the all-new F150, looks really interesting. Fitted with an air-lift suspension and other goodies, it’s set up to be a dedicated drifter, as well as an off-road racer. It’s also a crew cab, so there’s Recaro seating for ﬁve. Neat stuff, and the idea of doing more than just jacking a full-size pickup into the air is a fresh take on the segment.With the F150 still the best-selling truck in Canada and the United States, it’ll be interesting to see whether the aftermarket embraces the idea.

roots simply looked a little strange when smoothed out into a coupe. No more. These days, with the 911 stretched and widened into quite a large car, the Cayman’s proportions set it apart. It has the look of a miniaturized Carrera GT, that lunatic mid-engined V-10 supercar Porsche unleashed on the world some time ago. To this slippery shape, Porsche has added a dash more aggression in the form of smoked headlights, some unique blacked-out

aerodynamic trim, and 20-inch Carrera-style alloys as standard. Naturally, if you start going crazy with the options boxes, you can have any sort of colour scheme or wheel type you desire, but the basic GTS package looks pretty good. The new exterior is a mild tweak, but one that sets the car slightly apart, even if you opt to have the rear badges deleted. And then there’s what Porsche has done on the inside.

Environment This tester was fitted with Porsche’s horrendously expensive GTS Communications Package. It may sound like a binder filled with descriptions of “increased dynamism” or “greater emotion,” but really it’s just some two-tone seatbelts and fancy floor mats. Along with contrastcolour stitching on everything, the red edges to the seatbelts and embroidered crests on the seats are a nice touch, but for more than $4,000, I personally wouldn’t bother. Instead, the standard GTS interior is just fine as it is, filled with Alcantara from the headliner to the gearshift. Even the standard seats are perfect, though there’s the option to dial in a multi-way power option. The manual adjust will work best for most as you won’t want to be lending your keys out much, and while the cabin isn’t huge, it does have a decent

amount of headroom for most drivers.

Performance Along with the cosmetic stuff, the GTS designation for the Cayman comes with standard Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Sport Chrono adjustable driving modes, a two-mode sport exhaust, and an extra 15 horsepower. That makes a total of 340 h.p. coming from the 3.4-litre ﬂat-six, which in a car with a base price of $85,800, isn’t a whole heck of a lot. So it’s costly, especially with a few options added, but as soon as you crank the left-mounted key and zip off down the road, the Cayman starts earning its price tag. There’s no learning curve, no worrying about sightlines or gear-change oddities, or powerband surges.You just get in and go. Emphasis on go. My tester happened to come with a sixspeed manual gearbox, and although the dualclutch PDK seven speed is better for everything from racetrack duties to commuting, the stick-shift is just great. It’s got short, precise throws and feels even better than the 911’s manual. For the sport chrono settings, Normal is ﬁne for zipping around, Sportplus is racetrack only, and Sport is simply heaven. The exhaust opens up and See Cayman page 59

It was so much fun, I got up at 5 a.m. and drove out to the Fraser Canyon, just so I could whang it through the tunnels near Hell’s Gate. The little Cayman barked and growled and thundered along through the curves, with plenty of grip over the patchily damp pavement and complete confidence coming up though the chassis. The steering isn’t quite as sharp as it used to be on the old hydraulic systems, but the experience as a whole is just thrilling. And the best part of all this is that the Cayman GTS is this much fun without anti-social speeds. Everyone talks about how good the new 911 Turbo is, but it’s essentially unusable on the public road — it’s just too fast. The fierce little Cayman is really fast too, but because you have to wind it out a little, it’s easier to get a grin from a brief onramp blast or a wriggle through some rural twisties. It’s wonderful fun. I’m quite upset they wouldn’t let me keep it. Features And now, the portion of the Porsche review where we complain about the cost of the options. As you do. As a standard car, without Navigation or a premium audio system, the GTS is probably fine as-is. It’d be a great weekend toy,

with just the essentials. Regrettably, this isn’t a mid-$80K car, it’s really a $90,000 or more car when you pick a few options you want. Navigation, heated seats, maybe parking sensors — bam, the sticker on the windshield now reads more than 100 grand. The features are available, but they’ll cost you. Fuel economy is quite reasonable at a projected 12.1 litres/100 kilometres city and 8.9 l/100 km highway (the PDK version will do better). Observed mixed-use real-world mileage was 9.7 l/100 km. Green light Conﬁdent chassis; usable performance; thrilling driving experience.

Stop sign

Slightly noisy ride; options pricing and packaging. The checkered ﬂag The best Cayman yet, and maybe even the best Porsche. Jaguar F-Type V6S ($84,900) For this kind of money, you could look at the Corvette in terms of bangfor-buck, but you could also consider probably the best-looking modern car on the market. Jaguar’s FType is sleek, shapely, and it attracts a crowd. It’s not quite as sharp to drive as the Porsche, but it is sharper looking, so if you’d prefer a dash more standout style, then here you go. A word of warning though, the trunk space is pretty tight. mcaleer.nsnews@gmail.com
