LynnValley town centre

Affordable housing issue aired at public hearing JEREMY SHEPHERD newsroom@nsnews.com

The fate of Mountain Court Apartments and its approximately 200 residents is in the hands of District of North Vancouver council following Tuesday’s public hearing. Council is mulling the prospect of a four-building, 321unit development on East 27th Street that would wipe Mountain Court from the face of Lynn Valley. “We are providing needed homes for North Shore

residents,” said Hugh Ker, vicepresident of development for Polygon. But while the developer may be providing the “next generation of rental homes,” the demolition of Mountain Court will cost one community dearly, according to several residents who attended Tuesday’s meeting. “I’m not opposed to development unless it is displacing families with nowhere to go,” said Wesley Pifer. The lack of control over his family’s fate is “heartbreaking,” See Few page 3

Cap University censored professor, report concludes BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Capilano University’s leadership is being called to apologize for censoring a former studio arts instructor or risk becoming a pariah institution among academics. George Rammell created Blathering on in Krisendom, a caricature of university president Kris Bulcroft and her poodle Margaux and displayed it on campus as an act of protest against his and a host of other programs being cut from the school in 2013.

Then-board of governors chairwoman Jane Shackell ordered the statue removed, later saying it was personal harassment against Bulcroft. When the administration eventually returned it, it had been cut into pieces. The board was later found to be in violation of the University Act for botching its consultation process with the university senate before cutting the classes. A committee struck by the Canadian Association of University Teachers, which See Recommendations page 5

Five arrested for late-night construction crane climb BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Few rental options nearby, tenants say From page 1 according to Pifer, who said his sons may end up leaving behind friends, schools, “and everything else that they’ve ever known.” Also standing in the path of the wrecking ball is Karolina Francis. While acknowledging the apartment building is in need of repair, Francis said the monthly rent of $1,300 can’t be matched in Lynn Valley. “There is no affordable housing on the North Shore,” Francis said. “We should not be told to move to make room for newer and better . . . just because we can’t afford to pay premium market prices.” In order to assuage the hardship of moving, Polygon is offering Mountain Court tenants a compensation package. According to a formula

based on how long they’ve lived in the apartment building, tenants will receive an average of $4,400 to help cover costs and ﬁnd new housing, according to Ker. However, that offer is hollow if there’s no place to go, countered Don Peters. “Where does one go if the vacancy rate is 0.5 per cent?” Peters asked. Peters suggested several methods to combat the lack of affordable housing, such as establishing a number of units where rent is tied to the median district income. While several speakers lamented the loss of community, other residents celebrated the emergence of new housing options. Real estate agent David Goodman beseeched council to support Polygon’s project, particularly in light of the lack of new rental

units throughout Metro Vancouver. “Rejection will defy the universally accepted planning premise of densification next to a developed town centre,” he said. Goodman also characterized the 47year-old Mountain Court structure as outdated and inefficient. That assessment was echoed by Ian Graf, a partner in a law firm representing Mountain Court’s owners. The wood-frame building is in need of new plumbing and electrical systems and likely needs to be torn down, according to Graf. Even if the buildings weren’t demolished, a major renovation would necessitate the eviction of tenants followed by new, higher rents, according to Graf. Polygon’s development will usher greater vibrancy

The development could allow many young renters to “settle in the place we love,” he said. New development like the Polygon project is the antidote to “existing suburban gentriﬁcation that is threatening to turn North Vancouver into a large-scale retirement municipality for the rich and/or the lucky,” according to Sigston. Council is tentatively slated to debate the project’s approval — and

the fate of Mountain Court apartments — on July 6. The project, composed of 75 rental units and 246 condos spread through a quartet of ﬁve-storey buildings, split council this spring. Couns. Lisa Muri and Jim Hanson voted against the development, citing trafﬁc concerns and unmanageable construction. The rest of council supported the project. The new development features studio units and three-bedroom apartments ranging from 491 to 1,234 square feet. Rent for a twobedroom unit will be an estimated $2,000. Mayor Richard Walton did not attend Tuesday’s public hearing.

Five people have been arrested after being caught climbing Onni’s construction crane on Lonsdale’s old Safeway site. A witness called 9-1-1 just before 1 a.m. Saturday after she saw what she thought were teenagers on the crane at 13th Street and Lonsdale Avenue. North Vancouver RCMP responded and North Vancouver City Fire Department members assisted five adults down. “Alcohol was involved,” said Cpl. Geoff Harder, North Vancouver RCMP spokesman. “All five were arrested and released on promise to appear for a court date in August — for mischief.” Harder said three of the five people arrested were employed as contractors on the worksite. Of the climbers, two are from North Vancouver, one is from Maple Ridge, one is from Coquitlam and one from Vancouver. WorkSafeBC has also started its own investigation and Onni is co-operating, Harder said.

NorthVancouver court

Seaspan chairman handed driving ban

JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

KyleWashington, the executive chairman of Seaspan Corp., has been handed a three-month driving ban but avoided a criminal record after pleading guilty to a charge of driving without due care and attentionThursday in NorthVancouver provincial court. The plea Thursday stemmed from a bizarre incident on the night of Dec. 23, 2014, when Washington smashed his pickup into a wall while leaving the West

VancouverYacht Club, then ended up driving into a ditch at the nearby Gleneagles Community Centre. Crown prosecutor Sunny Bains said a member of the public called police after seeing Washington drive into the wall, damaging the front axle of his truck.When that person tried to ﬁnd out if Washington needed help, he refused to speak or roll down the window, she said. Police were then called to the Gleneagles Community Centre, by witnesses who saw Washington drive into the ditch, then continue to rev his engine.

The police ofﬁcer who attended described Washington as “stumbling all over the road” after he was asked to get out of his truck. Washington was taken back to the West Vancouver police detachment, where he blew breathalyzer blood alcohol readings of .110 and .100.The legal limit is .08. Washington was originally charged with impaired driving and driving with a blood alcohol level over .08. Under an agreement between Crown and defence lawyers, those charges were dropped and Washington pleaded guilty to the less

serious Motor Vehicle Act offence. Matthew Nathanson, Washington’s defence lawyer, said his client’s unusual behaviour that night was caused by a reaction to a prescription sleeping pill he’d taken that night. Nathanson said Washington had never taken the drug before and didn’t know how it would affect him. He added some of Washington’s “bizarre behaviour” that night was “totally inconsistent with alcohol” but consistent with a reaction to the sleeping pill he’d taken. He added

Washington has very little recollection of what happened. Nathanson noted Washington does signiﬁcant work in the community, including being involved in foundations that work with at-risk youth and adults and has already completed 20 hours of community work service. “This behaviour is not typical of his character,” he said. Judge Doug Moss handed Washington a $2,000 ﬁne in addition to the threemonth driving ban. “In my view, your driving was quite dangerous,” he said.

Recommendations include public apology From page 1

represents 68,000 postsecondary academics and staff, concluded that seizing the sculpture amounted to “institutional censorship,” which has contributed to a “culture of mistrust and fear at Capilano University.” “Very seldom do I get a case that’s so clear cut as this one,” said David Robinson, the association’s executive director. “It’s absolutely clear there was a very ﬂagrant fundamental

violation of academic freedom.” Rather than being just an ivory tower job perk, the ability to teach, research and criticize society and their own institution without fear of professional reprisal is necessary for professors to push the boundaries of knowledge for the good of society, Robinson said. Beyond issuing a public apology, the association is recommending that Cap compensate Rammell, and review its respectful

workplace policies to make sure they don’t inhibit expressive rights. If Cap doesn’t follow through on the recommendations, the association could formally censure the university — a form of boycott urging professors not to accept jobs or attend conferences there, and asking journals not to publish research from the school. Rarely do universities ever reach that point, Robinson said. “In almost every

case, the administration backs down because the administration recognizes this would be a terrible step for its reputation within the academic community and amongst students and alumni,” Robinson said. But it looks like there’s no apology coming. Current board chairwoman Shelley McDade issued a statement following the report saying the issue was dealt with through a union grievance process in 2014. “The matter relating to Mr. Rammell was settled almost a year ago, and the University considers it closed. The Canadian Association of University Teachers is an association that has no relationship, authority or jurisdiction relating to Capilano University,” she stated. “Academic freedom is enshrined in the university senate policy. The university remains committed to cultivating and protecting a respectful workplace, in accordance with its policies.” The association’s academic freedom committee will meet in August and discuss whether the school should be formally censured. Rammell welcomes the report vindicating what he had being saying all along. And while Blathering on in Krisendom was successful in drawing the public’s

Rammell continues to work on a new body of sculpture, including incorporating the broken pieces of the old Blathering into a larger, more expressive one called Margaux and the Monarch, which is now on display at the Nutter Glass Studio on Granville Island. Rammell also contends the destruction of his art was illegal and he plans to pursue it with the RCMP.

Cap and frown

t’s been a rough few years for Capilano University, its employees and students. Program cuts, student protests, court battles, labour disputes and now most recently, a damning report concluding the university violated art instructor George Rammell’s academic freedom. Rammell’s satirical sculpture depicting university president Kris Bulcroft was seized by the university board and returned to him in pieces. It’s true that as a society we’re much more sensitive to the issues of harassment and bullying now than we once were, and rightly so.The sculpture was grotesque, mean spirited and we’re sure, very hurtful for its intended target. But, as a piece of protest art, that’s what it was meant to be and people in positions of power have to accept that criticism of their leadership comes in many

forms, whether it’s a nasty editorial or an unflattering, quadruple-chinned, acrylic polymer effigy. Whether it was fair to Bulcroft or not, it accomplished its goal of provoking reaction and focusing attention on the issues at hand. Now the school faces a choice: Apologize to Rammell or face censure and further damage to its already-bruised reputation. We urge Cap’s leadership to apologize — for the good of the school, its faculty and students who haven’t yet enrolled. This is an opportunity to help cap off an acrimonious chapter in the life of the North Shore’s only post-secondary institution. Perhaps when we’ve done that and the infighting is behind us, we can all refocus efforts on trying to answer why Capilano University remains one of the worst-funded schools in B.C.

Regendered Jenner faces feminist critiques Hold on — is it possible that those demanding social tolerance are themselves harshly intolerant? The news elites have chosen as our times’ biggest story the transformation of former male Bruce Jenner to female Caitlyn Jenner, with the triumphant media epiphany of a cover photo in Vanity Fair magazine. You can’t buy that kind of advertising. But in the tsunami of media coverage, of course all zealously positive — who dares dawdle in the leftist/ progressive parade? — I’ve found no comment on a simple question pertaining to the regendered Jenner: Will women accept him as a woman? Above all, will Jenner pass muster with the only women who really matter in the court of media opinion — radical feminists — as

This Just In

one of their own? Michelle Goldberg’s article last August in The NewYorker anticipated this question, or rather effectively raised it. In all its compelling nuances, the article should be read in full. Goldberg begins with a quote from Robin Morgan, the keynote speaker at the West Coast Lesbian Conference in

CONTACTUS

1973, scorning transsexual (terminology then) folksinger Beth Elliott: “I will not call a male ‘she’; thirty-two years of suffering in this androcentric society … have earned me the title ‘woman’; one walk down the street by a male transvestite, ﬁve minutes of his being hassled (which he might enjoy), and then he dares, he dares to think he understands our pain? No, in our mothers’ names and in our own, we must not call him sister.” Detect any tolerance? That was 42 years ago, but such hostility remains. Few feminists now share this view, Goldberg writes, but she found some prominent ones. Their view is that gender is a caste position: A transgendered male “has a choice … he can never understand what

being a woman is really like.” One declared at a 2011 conference that the transgendered wouldn’t have access to women’s sleeping spaces or bathrooms — less “progressive” than the Downtown Eastside’s Carnegie Centre in Vancouver. ••• The replacement of the leafy glade that was the West Vancouver Memorial Library’s courtyard by a blaring white tiled deck, furnished with black post-modern metal chairs and computer tables, is an unbelievable stupidity, a secluded environment’s desecration. That its opening was marked by a proud ofﬁcial ceremony beggars belief. It deserved a wake for what it replaced. This is not a personal

hobby-horse.The undersigned was in it only once or twice.The courtyard was not well known, or, past the ﬁne pre-Raphaelite-style stained glass window, even readily noticed.That was its value. It was a quiet retreat inviting reﬂection over, or without, a book, or for writing a few notes or, who knows, a sonnet. Now the computer empire has overrun it. Where the hell is plain good taste among this town’s presumed elites? Ah, right, the elites also wanted to tack a hideous addition onto the Ferry Building Gallery — even turn it to kneel worshipfully toward the lordly Grosvenor building. Canada’s wealthiest town, but, beyond the natural bounty are the monster homes and the lust for views.What crass blindness to charm

and beauty. ••• Short years ago, Capilano University grad Bria Skonberg played hot-jazz trumpet with her combo at one of the paywhat-you-can jazz concerts at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church in West Vancouver. I lingered to bestow my shy praise and get her business card, which one day may be a collector’s item. Dal Richards, Vancouver’s amazing living legend (is he sick of that phrase?), now a stripling of 97, hired the young graduate of Capilano University’s music program for his orchestra. Dal became a big mentor, as he was of singer Michael Buble. Bria moved on to NewYork in 2010. Now

VIEWPOINT

LNG proponents should hold off celebrating Waiting for the liquefied natural gas industry to finally set up shop in B.C. has been like watching an excruciatingly slowly played football game where the score has remained 0-0 since the opening kickoff. But it now appears one of the largest players may be about to finally cross the goal line and score, thus setting in motion what could end up to be several “touchdowns” by LNG companies in this province. Or will it? A consortium led by the Malaysian governmentowned energy giant Petronas has made what it calls a “conditional” final investment decision to build a $11.4-billion LNG terminal near Prince Rupert. One of the conditions (approval by the B.C. legislature) is a foregone conclusion.The other — federal environmental approval — has so far proven to be elusive, although it may still be granted before long. But there’s a third “condition” the consortium (Pacific NorthWest LNG) so far hasn’t addressed or included in its official explanation of its decisionmaking process: approval of relevant First Nations bands in the area where the terminal is supposed to be built. B.C.’s Natural Gas Minister Rich Coleman insists the deal is basically done, but his endless

Keith Baldrey

View from the Ledge optimism about all things LNG is part of his job title. The news release that Paciﬁc NorthWest LNG issued, heralding its conditional approval of the project, is not legally binding. In fact, one has to wonder whether, given the intense competition that rules the worldwide LNG industry and markets, whether this latest announcement is simply part of the strategic maneuvering that occurs among these energy giants. In any event, back to the conditions. The B.C. legislature will reconvene sitting sometime this summer (likely late July) to pass legislation authorizing what’s called the “project development agreement” to build the LNG terminal. Given the B.C. Liberals’ strong support for the LNG industry and the fact they enjoy a majority in the house, the vote outcome is automatic. The federal environmental assessment

review is a bit trickier.The project has been in the review process for more than two years now, and there is no end in sight. The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, which is conducting the review, stood down earlier this month and told Paciﬁc NorthWest LNG to provide more details about the project’s potential impact on local salmon habitat. Where things get a bit hazy about this “condition” is the approaching federal election campaign. If there is no decision handed down by the CEAA before the campaign begins in September, the next government may be charged with signing off on approval. If the ruling Stephen Harper Conservatives win the election, the chances of the project getting federal approval will presumably be quite good. But what might happen if the federal Liberals or the federal NDP win power, or form a coalition government to block the Conservatives? Support for an LNG industry among NDPers is spotty at best (a huge segment of the party strongly opposes the practice of fracking, which is used to extract natural gas from deep in the ground), so a federal government led, or partly led, by that party would presumably cast a cloud of uncertainty over any LNG project.

And then we come to something governments at both levels and the industry itself have much less control over: the support of First Nations for this industry and this particular project. The Lax Kw’alaam First Nations, which claims the land where Paciﬁc NorthWest LNG hopes to locate its terminal, has already turned

down a $1.15-billion beneﬁt package from the consortium in exchange for its support for the project. Since then, talks have quietly been taking place with the First Nations band and it may very well revisit its initial decision.We’ll see. But for now, for all the high-ﬁving and backslapping the B.C. government is doing

over this “conditional” investment decision, the fact remains that Petronas and its partners have still not carried the ball over the goal line. Until they do, any end zone celebration dance should remain on hold. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC. Keith. Baldrey@globalnews.ca

INQUIRING REPORTER The province has launched an online survey that asks residents if they think current distracted driving laws — a $167 ﬁne and three driver’s licence demerit points — are tough enough. Distracted driving behaviour, such as talking on a cell, is the second-leading contributing factor in motor vehicle deaths in B.C. Last year, police handed out 55,100 tickets to drivers caught using an electronic device; however, it’s estimated 9,500 drivers in B.C. are using these devices at any given time. Ontario recently introduced the stiffest distracted driving penalties in the country: $1,000 is now the maximum ﬁne there. Should B.C. follow suit? - ,+#'+ (%'.+$*)!*'"&

Byron Schlegel North Vancouver “Yes.The demerits are a huge deterrent. I think that’s (a $1,000 ﬁne) a little much.”

Do you think stiffer penalties would deter distracted drivers?

Ed Dunn North Vancouver “Yes. I think it could be double that ($167 ﬁne), but I’m not sure there is a way to stop people from breaking the law.”

Katie Titosky North Vancouver “Yes. I think it would be more of a deterrent. I know my friend in Alberta got a ticket for $260 (for distracted driving), and that makes me not want to do it.”

Suzy Wilson North Vancouver “No. I don’t think it should be stiffer because it won’t deter people. Sadly, everybody does it (distracted driving).”

Ranald MacDonald North Vancouver “No.The onus is on them (the drivers) to not be distracted. It’s just common sense.”

Hot-jazz trumpeter coming home to play From page 6 her name crops up in Manhattan media. She’s received heady praise and multiple awards. She’s coming home to play at the Vancouver International Jazz Festival next Friday at Performance Works, Granville Island, with her quintet, including fellow Cap students Evan Arntzen, scion of a family of Vancouver jazz aristocrats, and Sean Cronin. Local girl makes very good. Not to overlook that Pierre Aderne performs tomorrow and Sunday at West Van’s Kay Meek Centre, also part of the jazz festival as well as the North Shore Jazz Series. •••

I wish to report the driver of Blue Bus 994, No. 250, which left Horseshoe Bay at approximately 10 a.m. on June 10. He was a model driver. He radiated conscientious attention to the job. He waited before starting forward until frail riders sat down. Some Blue Bus drivers do.You were expecting a complaint? ••• Wrong ﬁgures blundered into my last column: Overwaitea tea in the 100th anniversary tin box at Save-On-Foods stores is 510 grams — or, for those still wedded to avoirdupois measure, 18, not the 16 ounces (i.e., a pound) common a century ago. Got that straight?

Skonberg, a graduate of Capilano University’s jazz program, grew up in Chilliwack where her budding musical talent was

nurtured at home, at school and in the community. “My parents weren’t musicians, but we were kind of musical hobbyists. We always had a lot of instruments around the house,” she says. She ﬁrst picked up a trumpet in Grade 7 band, drawn to the brass instrument, in part, because her father played it in high school and the family had an old trumpet lying around the house. “I just took to it,” she says, lauding the instrument’s big, bright sound. Today, she plays a

• Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles

By now you know. Adding body collagen directly reduces wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, and adds vital moisture to your skin. Indirectly, collagen thickens and strengthens your hair. You may also know that collagen production slows by 1% per year after the age of 21. Can you gain it back? Yes. But not by eating collagen. You see, collagen is a protein. When you ingest it, your body breaks it down, like any other protein, and uses it as food. When you want the real beauty benefits of collagen, you have to generate it.

Inside Out takes viewers on an emotional rollercoaster

n! li lio M

Inside Out should be required viewing for the parents of pre-teens, just as those embarrassing “What’s Happening To Me?” books are mustreads for growing minds and bodies. The ﬁlm explains, better than any Jungian therapist and in simplistic yet marvelous detail, how children transition from irrepressible balls of positive energy to oftenmoody teens with the weight of the world on their shoulders. The Disney PixarStudio Ghibli partnership is a strong one, and Inside Out begins in much the same way as Miyazaki’s Spirited Away, with a girl leaving everything she knows and relocating with her family to a new city, carting along the requisite anxiety that accompanies big change. Helping 11-year-old Riley (voiced by Kaitlyn Dias) make the transition are the ﬁve emotions inside her mind: Joy (Amy Poehler), Disgust (Mindy Kaling), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith). Joy rules the roost, for the most part, until one day she and Sadness are mistakenly bumped out of HQ and hurtled to the far corners of Riley’s mind, taking some of Riley’s most vital memories with them and leaving Disgust, Fear and Sadness in charge of Riley’s moods. Thus the quick switch from happy-go-lucky child to

Meanwhile, Joy and Sadness are forging their way through new realms of Riley’s brain: Imagination Land, Abstract Thought (where things briefly get Cubist), Dream Productions (cleverly designed like a Hollywood backlot), and Long Term Memory. The film switches easily between Riley’s daily struggles with friends and a rickety new home and the behind-the-scenes crisis management in her brain. The real-world scenes, in particular, are beautifully rendered and a counterbalance to the lovely lunacy of her inner brain terrain. Big concepts for little viewers, to be sure. But not so confusing, say, as Tomorrowland, a big-kids’ movie in a PG package. The necessary exposition early on in the film soon gives way to the sheer — well — joy of watching

in your home. Joy has to relinquish some of her power to sadness: it’s a melancholy and crucial truth, but one that Inside Out imparts beautifully.

a fresh concept so deftly executed. It’s only a little reminiscent of Herman’s Head; Joy and Sadness’ odyssey reminded me more of Harry Nilsson’s The Point, and young Oblio’s journey through The Pointless Forest, bizarre landscapes that provided wise insight into the point of things. And it’s not overstating the fact to say that we the viewers have been on a meandering journey of joy and sadness by ﬁlm’s end. In the same way that Pixar’s Up wrought tears in the ﬁrst minutes, so too does Inside Out — which is about emotional manipulation, after all — put us through the emotional wringer. (I wouldn’t have bet that a character called Bing Bong could reduce grownups to tears.) This is a poignant tale, particularly if you have a pre-teen of your own and are watching the transition from carefree, joyous childhood to doubt-tinged early adulthood play out

Museum explores modernist ethos Exhibition highlights unique era on North Shore

■ From the Inside Out: Integrating Art and Architecture on theWest Coast, June 27-Aug. 29 at theWest Vancouver Museum. Opening reception: June 27, 2-4 p.m.The 10th AnnualWest Coast Modern Home Tour, 11 a.m.-4 p.m., July 11. Tickets: $130/$120/$100. westvancouvermuseum. ca. ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com

A new exhibition at the WestVancouver Museum is celebrating the efforts of staff over the last decade to showcase local examples of and contributions toWest Coast modernist art and architecture. “This exhibition brings

together a lot of research that we’ve done over the years for our exhibitions, publications and programs,” says exhibition curator KirikoWatanabe. “The people who were involved in the development ofWest Coast modernist art and architecture in this region were absolutely amazing for their energy, enthusiasm and design innovation.The exhibition will show the rich art and architectural history in our community that we can be proud of.” From the Inside Out: Integrating Art and Architecture on theWest Coast, is slated to open Saturday, June 27 and remain on display until Aug. 29.The show will feature a number of projects along with artworks and photographs by artists representative of the period, marked from the late1940s to the early-1980s. “This exhibition is not just about the past when these featured houses were built. It’s also about now and the future of our architectural heritage. The preservation of our architecturally signiﬁcant

homes is constantly at risk from redevelopment. Hopefully, this exhibition helps raise awareness of our city’s modernist heritage and enhances the recognition of the North Shore as a centre ofWest Coast modernist architecture,” saysWatanabe. From the Inside Out comes on the heels of a recent donation of photography archives from two acclaimed Canadian architectural photographers: Selwyn Pullan, who currently resides in NorthVancouver; and John Fulker, a former WestVancouver resident now based on Salt Spring Island. From the mid-’40s to the mid-’70s, Pullan shot projects for a host of leading B.C. architects — Ron Thom, Fred Hollingsworth and Arthur Erickson included. Fulker photographed projects locally and beyond and his photographs ﬁrst appeared in publications showcasing modern design in the ’60s. While the announcement of their donations, comprising 30,000 negatives

Modern Home tour returns in July

and transparencies and more than 200 photographic prints, was made June 3, Watanabe says the museum has long maintained working relationships with both men. She recalls meeting Pullan for the first time while working on a 2006 exhibition, entitled Living on the Edge:WestVancouver Modernist Homes 19401970, which explored the emergence ofWest Coast modernism. “That’s when I first contacted Selwyn and we went to see him at his studio. That’s when I saw some of his photographs for the first time, actual prints,” she says. “Fascinated” by his work, Watanabe has continued to work with Pullan over the years, including curating two of his solo exhibitions, the latter of which was timed with the publication of a book, Selwyn Pullan: Photographing Mid-Century West Coast Modernism, produced by the museum and published by Douglas & McIntyre in 2012.

“That took me about ﬁve years . . . . going through all of his (negatives), scanning, editing each one of them with him, because they were highly deteriorated, colors were distorted and a lot of reconstructing certain parts of images needed to be done. He wanted to work on these every step of the way with us instead of hiring technicians,” she says. Watanabe ﬁrst met Fulker

related to a solo exhibition of his works, entitled John Fulker: Images of Architecture, which opened in 2011. The show marked the ﬁrst exhibition of his photographs in more than 30 years. From the Inside Out: Integrating Art and Architecture on theWest Coast features a number of works by both artists, in addition to other local, as well as American photographers.

The decision to present aWest Coast modernist themed exhibition this summer was timed with the 10th anniversary of the museum’s annualWest Coast Modern Home Tour, set for July 11. Several of the North Shore residences being featured in the exhibition have been either part of past year’s tours, or will be included this time around.

“(2006):That’s when we first took our program participants to some of these houses. And 10 years later I’m doing the opposite: I’m bringing contents of the houses to the museum, along with photos and plans to describe (these houses).This is a different experience and I’m hoping people will walk away, taking a different set of information,” saysWatanabe. One featured home and related interior artwork being showcased in the exhibition is that of The Pratt Residence, by Ned Pratt in 1951, and renovated by his son and fellow architect Peter Pratt in 2010-2012. The museum will be displaying a fibreglass panel, lit from behind, on loan from the home’s living room. The concept for the piece was the result of a project worked on by Pratt, Ron Thom and B.C. Binning, the B.C. Electric Head Office, built at Burrard and Nelson inVancouver in 1957. At the time, the use of fibreglass panels as a viable architectural material was emerging. “Ned Pratt and Ron

Thom got together and experimented creating ﬁbreglass panels, using a colour scheme set by B.C. Binning for the B.C. Hydro building. It’s got translucent colour and it’s got geometric patterns and it creates beautiful diffusing light coming through from outside to the inside of the house. Ned Pratt installed that in his living room,” saysWatanabe. In addition to the ﬁbreglass panel, a photograph of the Pratt family in the living room, the panel visible in the background, taken by Pullan, will also be displayed in the museum, along with a Jack Shadbolt painting that hung elsewhere in the home. “A lot of people who attend our tour are repeaters. So there are many people who have seen this house and the panel.When they visit the house, there is so much to see and these items are an integral part of the house. But I’m bringing this over from the house to the museum, which I think will change people’s way of looking at these pieces,” says Watanabe.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE

to FASHION & STYLE

The right look for the office Dear Mattie: What can I wear in the ofﬁce? Looking for new trends in Capilano

BOOKS FashionVisionaries by LindaWatson page 33

Dear Capilano: Office looks depend on how conservative or casual your work environment is. I believe that it is important to look professional in your workplace. This season, there are many individual pieces in fashion that can be co-ordinated to create an office suit. How you match these pieces depends on your professional needs. Professionalism is a look. Let’s start with tops. Polo shirts have made a comeback. They are the perfect tops and can swing from casual to professional. Choose the colour based on how conservative or fun your needs are. Pastels are in fashion and dark colours, such as red, navy, purple and khaki, are great middle-of-the-road options. When you match the top colour with your pants or skirt, you have created a casual suit. Shirts can be dressed up or down with a pair of darkerwash jeans. White shirts should be a staple in every woman’s wardrobe. If you want a bit more flair, stripes and patterns are trending this season. Blouses with ruffles and detailing bring your outfit up a few notches. A new trendy piece this season is the tunic. It is a sleeveless dress that you wear with a shirt or blouse underneath. Add a belt and you have created a trendy office look with three interchangeable pieces. I am a fan of skirts in the spring and summer as it is nice to change your wardrobe for the new season. Skirts are awesome this season. The silhouettes range from a narrow pencil skirt to a billowing midi

skirt to a flowing maxi skirt. Skirts now have a midrise waist, enhancing your shape. Feel free to add a belt. Scalloped and lace-trimmed hems are trendy this season. Many skirts have modern prints which allow room for your personality. One colour or tone-on-tone has a neat and lean look. Don’t worry if skirts aren’t your taste. Pants work too. They are pretty simple this season and range from narrow cropped-at-the-ankle plants to longer flared trousers. Both are high-waisted. Pants this season are a versatile staple. Go for a basic pair that will match your trendier pieces. If you are allowed to wear jeans to the office, then a darker or midwash rinse is a better option than faded, torn boyfriend jeans. Save those for your own time. Blazers are optional, depending whether or not your job requires you to wear one. If it does, then a style and colour that matches your outfit is good enough. If you prefer an extra layer for warmth or style, then have some fun with this lightweight outerwear piece. Crotchet cardigans are all the rage with the music festival crowd. Trendy blazers have a utilitarian look and resemble a shirt with military detailing. Pockets are placed in the front and lapels on the shoulders. Some are long enough to add a belt. Both these pieces add flair to your outfit as you come and go. Choose trendy pieces that co-ordinate with each other. This way you can dress up or down as your day requires.

Milestones in fashion history Fashion Visionaries by Linda Watson (Laurence King Publishers, 312 pages) $55 Fashion designers who have left the biggest mark are the ones who have been able to deﬁne a moment and through the understanding of social and economic trends have created something at exactly the right time. The miniskirt is iconic because it sums up an era, but it wouldn’t have come about if youthful rebellion hadn’t been on the rise. Other designers have created classic items that are constantly being revamped, making them

forever current. Linda Watson takes a look at modern designers and traces back to their earlier inﬂuences by including notables such as Thierry Hermes and Thomas Burberry. Each of

the more than 70 featured designers are presented with a one page writeup and three pages of photographs. Pierre Cardin,Yves Saint Laurent, Gianni Versace, Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs are just a small sample of the designers who are included in this exemplary group, but all of the designers listed have influenced the fashion world with their creations. Photographs from their ground-breaking fashion shows, significant photo spreads and catalogs fill the pages, providing a visual history of pivotal moments in modern fashion. — Terry Peters

gave her and other Fraser Valley youth the opportunity to interact with professional musicians and play in public. Skonberg moved to NewYork in 2010 and currently resides on the Lower Eastside after living in Brooklyn for a few years. The transition to the Big Apple was a relatively easy one, she says, because she had already forged so many connections with artists in the scene. At the time she graduated from Capilano University in 2006, she was already managing two bands, working as a solo artist and playing festivals across North America. “By the time I got (to NewYork) I had some invitations to go places and sit in with different groups and that’s really how to get your foot in the door around here.” To date, Skonberg has released three albums: Fresh (2009), So is the Day (2012) and Into Your Own (2014). A fourth is currently in the works with an anticipated release date next spring. Since moving to New York, Skonberg has headlined major events, toured internationally and

collaborated with a number of well-established jazz artists. Perhaps her most memorable gig to date is playing in the backyard of Louis Armstrong’s houseturned-museum in Queens as part of a concert series. She is also co-founder of the NewYork Hot Jazz Festival, a day-long marathon of live jazz music from its early beginnings in New Orleans, through the Prohibition years and into the Swing era. “There’s been a bit of a renaissance revival happening in the last couple of years and this is a way to pull all that together,” she says, attributing the resurgence of hot jazz to the popularity of 1920s vintage pop culture (think HBO’s Boardwalk Empire and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jay Gatsby). While her sound is certainly inﬂuenced by this style, Skonberg says her music represents a unique mix of subgenres that is rooted in New Orleans jazz and blues with some world music and danceable swing mixed in. “It’s kind of a fusion at this point and I think a melting pot of all the things I’m interested in,” she says.

Whether it’s sprinkling Latin spice over a country blues tune, or infusing gypsy fervour with a rockabilly standard, the group’s goal is to keep the audience guessing and well entertained. Frontman Petunia is an acoustic guitar-slinging, modern-day Johnny Cash, or maybe Jimmie Rodgers, complete with those high and lonesome lyrics that cut to the heart of the matter. The North Shore News caught up with the veteran musician — where else — on the road, just outside of his hometown in the rural Ste-Dorothée district of Laval, Quebec. Petunia’s mom Carol is also in the car, on speakerphone, and he suggests asking her a question. Carol compliments Petunia by saying she enjoys her son’s shows, but politely adds the

When asked if his sometimes-mournful music ever weighs heavy on him, Petunia offers a pensive response. “I asked the same question about Hank Williams, and I said, ‘Do you think he sang himself to death?’ And my friend, who’s a bit older and wiser said, ‘Yes I think he did.’ So, it’s probably true: if you overemphasize the bad things in life it feels like your life is getting worse,” says Petunia. A common theme running through Petunia’s lyrics relates to living life on one’s own terms

— fearlessly and without regret. And he practises what he preaches. Petunia cut his teeth as a musician busking every major street corner, subway station and park bench in Canada and NewYork City. “I don’t think I’ve been as good a guitar player as I was then, just playing three or four hours a day,” says Petunia “And you have to play loud to be heard. It’s often been said: if you can play for one person and keep them entertained, then you can play for thousands. Playing on the street gives you those lessons.” Petunia even wrote a song — on a napkin, no less — inspired by busking on

the streets of Toronto, called “The Ugliest, Bitterest, Coldest, Dreary Place I’ve Ever Seen.” You would think putting that song out there would incite anger in Torontonians and perhaps have him blacklisted, but they actually request the song at Petunia’s shows. “All the time.They love it, because it’s true. The words in the song ring pretty true,” explains Petunia, who deep down truly likes Toronto. Petunia put together the Vipers in 2004 by repurposing some musicians that backed great Canadian rockabilly singer Ray Condo before

he died.The band then paid homage to Condo by recording a song for him called “Rock on Down the Line.” Petunia, who once opened for Condo during a NewYear’s Eve show in Vancouver, said it was a thrill to play with the worldclass musician. These days there are about 30 different Vipers, with their own set of musical talents, across the country that Petunia can call on when he travels to a town for a show or to record an album. “It’s fun, as long as you are open to new things happening,” explains Petunia of playing with

different artists. “It’s always a different set of ingredients, like you making a new cake every time.” Petunia, however, will be playing a one-man show while he is back at home this week, which he says will be a more liberating experience because he can sing off the cuff. And not that Petunia’s bragging, but he knows upwards of 600 songs. “Sometimes, you just open your mouth and the whole song comes out, and sometimes just one line; it’s all muscle memory,” he says. One song Petunia won’t soon forget is his personal favourite, “Mercy” from the Vipers 2011 self-titled vinyl release. Sophisticated and straight to the point, the essence of “Mercy” has been described by the band as sensual, romantic and very danceable.The song captures the timeless human struggle to live a good life and presents an overriding theme of redemption. “We all need a little bit of redemption,” says Petunia. But when pressed for more details on what he needs redeeming from, Petunia is coy with his response: “Life’s a long road — there’s a lot of things that come up.” Next up for Petunia is a performance at Capilano University on Tuesday as part of the North Shore Jazz 2015 series and in partnership with the TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival.Then Petunia will hit the road again for awhile, playing shows in Los Angeles, the Prairies and Europe — where he will undoubtedly ﬁnd inspiration for a new album.

Vancouver jazz festival builds on 30 years of passionate musicmaking

JOHN GOODMAN jgoodman@nsnews.com

Sound and vision

The TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival celebrates its 30th anniversary this year with a lot of fond memories of what’s gone down and a sense of excitement for what’s still to come. John Orysik, marketing and promotions director and one of the co-founders of the jazz fest with Ken Pickering and Robert L. Kerr, talked to the North Shore News about the formation of the Coastal Jazz & Blues Society back in the mid-’80s and how it’s all played out over the years.

and

John Orysik

North Shore News:You’ve known Ken Pickering since you were both in Grade 2? John Orysik: It’s true we had Mrs. Jones for our elementary Grade 2 teacher at Sir Matthew Begby. It’s been a long time. North Shore News: Have you been friends and worked together ever since? John Orysik: We’ve been friends but we didn’t start working together until we started Coastal Jazz.We’ve been passionate devotees of the music since our teenage years. Talked about it a lot, went to concerts a lot, developed a real passion for it over the years and one thing led to another and we decided to form an organization that could stage concerts year round, inject some real strong musical drive into the city and have an annual summer festival to culminate the year round activity.

North Shore News: How did you get interested in jazz? John Orysik: My mother got me an accordion and I got lessons as a youngster so I’ve always had an ear for music. Ken went out and bought himself a saxophone and started working out on that instrument. Later on I became Vancouver correspondent for Coda Magazine, which was the Canadian jazz journal out of Toronto that was published and distributed around the world. Ken formed Black Swan Records in the mid-’70s to distribute jazz and blues recordings to the public. Whenever we got together it was always around listening to music. Going to each other’s homes and playing new releases for each other and going to concerts. A lot of times we would drive down to Seattle and check out concerts that were happening. When I was 19 I had the opportunity to go to New York City for the ﬁrst time and experience music on a level that I’d never envisioned before.There was so much music going on. I just absorbed and soaked it all up and went to as many concerts as I could.The Newport Jazz Festival was happening at that time. George Wein had moved the festival from Newport to NewYork City in 1972 and the musicians who weren’t invited to his festival staged a counter festival so it was double the music that you would expect during a normal week or two in NewYork. That was also the time of the loft scene where musicians were involved in a kind of do-it-yourself project where they would rent loft spaces and organize their own concerts. Sam Rivers was an integral part of that scene. He had a place called Studio Rivbea. He and his wife Bea ran it and there was music going on there all the time. I had the good fortune of listening to it.You can imagine as a 19-year-old my head was on a swivel. I was meeting all these musicians. I went to the Jazz Composers Orchestra Association which was run by Michael Mantler and Carla Bley and I got to meet Charlie Haden and Roswell Rudd and Gato Barbieri. All these great musicians and writers like Nat Hentoff. ESP Records owner Bernard Stollman

was there —just a who’s who of musicians. That just got me more excited about the music and I would come back and regale people with tales about who I saw and where I saw them.These were just sign posts in our lives as we got older and the fascination with the music grew stronger and stronger.When I look back on it now it seems like it was almost inevitable that we would form Coastal Jazz and the jazz festival. Everything seems to have led up to it. North Shore News: Were you in NewYork as a correspondent or as a jazz aﬁcionado? John Orysik: Well, both. I was a Vancouver correspondent but I wasn’t really writing about my visit to NewYork. I did mention it in my column that I had been there and I was quite thrilled with the experience. I got to meet people and create associations that later on became very useful. Fortuitously, too, in the late ’70s and early ’80s I joined CJAZ as a broadcaster, as a Jazz DJ.That was a 24-hour, 100,000-watt radio station where you could play the music you loved and get paid for it. I would pinch myself. I was sitting there playing Charles Mingus and John Coltrane and Miles Davis. Then the station morphed after a number of years into just another pop music station but at the time there was a transition happening.There was already talk about forming Coastal Jazz, forming a society from which we could then present single concerts which would lead to an annual jazz festival. In 1985 we created a small regional festival which was essentially self-ﬁnanced and contained musicians from Vancouver, Seattle and Portland.We had one international ringer — Hungarian bass player Aladár Pege. It was essentially a success and basically broke even. Staging that festival I think had a great deal to do with attracting major corporate sponsorship for the following year which was 1986, an Expo year.We launched a major international See Festival page 40

North Shore News: Did you have much experience at this point or did you just jump in and do it? John Orysik: We were green, John.There’s no such thing as jazz festival school — you can’t go and learn how to present concerts and learn how to market festivals and learn how to attract sponsorships. It was the passion for the music that drove everything. We didn’t see obstacles, we just saw opportunities and we just motored ahead and did what we had to do. Sometimes what you did failed, other times you had great success but there was always that belief that what you were doing was what you should be doing. North Shore News: From ’86 had you already established late June, early July as the dates for the festival? John Orysik: That’s a very good question.Yes and no, just let me back up: in 1985 the festival dates were in late August, essentially around the same time as the PNE. After having gone through that time frame we thought it would have served us better to kick off the festival at the beginning of summer.That seemed the optimum time to start the festival.We would be the ﬁrst out of the gate, we would be the festival that launched the beginning of summer activity in Vancouver. From the ’85 experience we decided to stage the festival starting with the third Friday in June and we’ve always kept those dates since then. It proved to be the best time plus there were other festivals around that time we could connect with and ameliorate costs of travel and booking so it became the optimum time to do it for a lot of reasons. North Shore News: Where did you hold the festival in the early years? John Orysik: In ’85 we held it in clubs like the Savoy, the Town Pump, the

The free element has always been part of the festival.The idea to make the festival accessible was with us from Day 1.We wanted people to access this music and not have any obstacles to it.Whether those obstacles were economic or whether they had a stereotypical view of what jazz was and so they weren’t willing to spend any money. Here was an opportunity by presenting free concerts where you could just go and dabble without any obligation. There was something like a dozen venues that we had during that ’85 festival mostly small clubs around the city clustered in Gastown and then Expo Centre outside. See Many page 41

MUSIC

Many memorable shows over the years From page 40

North Shore News: How did a brand new festival get people like Ornette Coleman and Miles Davis to show up? John Orysik: You offered them contracts. Ornette Coleman performed at the New York Theatre on Commercial Drive that ﬁrst year with his band. The Miles Davis, Wynton Marsalis and Bobby McFerrin concerts were co-presented with Expo. That’s why we were able to put Miles and Wynton Marsalis at Expo Theatre. We did a blockbuster blues bash featuring Albert Collins, Koko Taylor and John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers. We did a triple bill with Bobby McFerrin, Tony Williams and Tito Puente. Those four Expo Theatre concerts were co-produced with the folks at Expo. We were able to use their pull as a world’s fair to draw those musicians in. Our festival in ’86 was Bill Frisell’s coming out party. He wasn’t doing live concerts, as a matter of fact he was so shy at that time we literally had to push him out from backstage to go out and play. So many memorable moments — seeing Ornette playing at the New York Theatre with his band Prime Time. It was just extraordinary. We presented Ornette almost back to back — we presented him in the ’86 festival and then in 1988 at the Commodore Ballroom. All of his shows were memorable. He’s just one of those singular artists. There’s nobody else like him on the planet. The last time was not in the jazz festival but as part of the Cultural Olympiad during the leadup to the Olympics. We presented him at the Chan Centre at UBC and that was an amazing show too. North Shore News: What were some of the other highlights over the

30-year stretch? John Orysik: The showdown. It wasn’t so much the show but the showdown between Miles Davis and Wynton Marsalis at Expo Theatre (where Davis told Marsalis to get off his stage) that comes to mind right away. Fast forwarding over the years Caetano Veloso’s one and only performance at the Vogue Festival in I think ’97 was just extraordinary. We had a lot of jazz critics who were covering the festival for different magazines like Down Beat and Jazz Times and The Wire, out of London, England, and there was all this other activity going on but everyone of those critics was at the Caetano Veloso show because they knew that was the concert not to miss. He’s an amazing musician and it was a hugely memorable show at the Vogue Theatre. The one and only time we presented Sun Ra and his Arkestra was in the late ’80s at the Commodore. That was an incredible concert. He was such a legendary ﬁgure in music and he had a philosophy, kind of a cosmological look at life and music. The band dressed up in these costumes and Sun Ra claimed that they come from Saturn. He had little pithy phrases like, ‘We came from nowhere here, let’s go somewhere there.’ And away we would go somewhere through his music. His music would transport us. It was extraordinarily fascinating. You can have a philosophy like that but if the music isn’t compelling it’s just a gimmick. Dutch master drummer Han Bennink’s many performances here have always been fantastic. He’s back again this year. He’s one of the elder statesman now after all these years. The great thing about Han is he’s such a collaborative artist. He’s willing to put himself in situations that are new and are challenging and

b6U_44_ =;W_V0U @1[; 9055_* 010c _06WZ_6 4[Z5 V;U4[) 9_6^;6V_* 1Z4[ `6ZV_ HZV_ 04 4[_ Y0aa ^_54Z20W& 8;6 0U ZU4_62Z_1 1Z4[ g04[_WZU k60c ;U I[Z6W_c =W06X_#5 ='CL$$LF >63L HC 1DL'H46 2Z5Z4 [449L$$.Z4&Wc$!f[`9hH& `jbHb IG``fi:< so we have been able to put him in one-of-a-kind combinations. This year he is going to be performing with Dave Douglas on trumpet, Peggy Lee, of course, from here, on cello and Han on drums. That will be an incredible international trio. Dave Douglas is another highlight. We were presenting Dave back in the early ’90s when nobody knew who he was. This young trumpeter who was so versatile and so curious about putting himself in all kinds of different musical situations. And he hooked up with Dylan van der Schyff and Peggy Lee here too. He was just knocked out by their musicianship and they created a band called Mountain Passages. The Dedication Orchestra, all those wonderful musicians, that was a highlight. There’s been so many highlights over the years.You could

ﬁll a book, they’re all so different and memorable for different reasons. The music is diverse and the personalities and settings are different. It’s been pretty amazing over the 30 years and to be so close to the music and to be able to have all these rich experiences. North Shore News: Speaking about the settings you’ve had speciﬁc venues that the jazz fest has returned to year after year. John Orysik: We consistently had a series at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre in the early years before its renovation. We’ve used the Vogue Theatre as well for a long time. We’ve also used the Orpheum Theatre from the very beginning. Granville Island is our earliest and longest standing partner. They hooked up with us right from Day 1. We’ve had

performances at the Public Market Stage and different venues around Granville Island since 1986. I don’t know if you remember we were at the Plaza of Nations right after Expo as some of the buildings were left standing. When the new community of Yaletown was formed they built the Roundhouse and David Lam Park and we thought ‘This is the place to go.’ We would have a park setting right by the water for the big outdoor stage and then the Roundhouse afforded us an opportunity to have two indoor venues plus we could use a studio for workshops as well and there’s already a kids’ play area there. It just made the most sense plus it’s really easy to access from different directions. It’s become one of the most anticipated events in the festival that weekend in the Roundhouse and David Lam Park. We’ve deﬁnitely kept continuity with a number of different venues both indoor and outdoor.

North Shore News: You’ve had several initiatives you’ve carried out over the years such as the high school intensive program to augment the concert line-up. John Orysik: A big feature of what we do is education and outreach. It’s very important for us to get kids involved in the music, to give them opportunities to learn from professional musicians that they look up to and also have instruction from the highest level. Tomeka Reid this year has come back from Chicago. She brings those charts and she challenges those kids. The kids just get so excited because it opens up so many areas for them to explore that they couldn’t even have imagined in the beginning. And they also have access to scholarships. Dal Richards has graciously offered a $2,000 scholarship for quite a few years now to one high school kid who is aspiring

to become a professional musician. There’s other scholarships that TD provides as well. The workshops are open to everybody. People can come and listen to musicians talk about the creative process and why they play music and how they play music and what they’re trying to do. People have the opportunity to ask questions. It tears down the mystique, the barriers if there are any, between an audience and an artist. You see them on a different level and you are able to communicate with them and see what drives them. The love of the music.

North Shore News: Another aspect you’ve had for a number of years now is the North Shore Jazz component. John Orysik: Absolutely. There’s wonderful things going on on the North Shore, both in terms of the concerts that are being presented at Cap U and Presentation House. Cap U has a highly respected education program and there are many great instructors. To connect with the North Shore and make them part of the jazz festival is a fantastic thing. The ethos of the festival has always been about nurturing creativity and encouraging collaboration and building community and I think we hit on all three by having the North Shore involved in a big way. We cherish that. North Shore News: Thirty years on I guess you’ve got things ﬁgured out by now and everything runs like clockwork. John Orysik: It’s a huge enterprise. There’s so many musicians, so many venues. It takes a lot of planning. Essentially when one festival is over we’re already starting to put the building blocks together for the next one. We’re in heavy marketing mode now letting people know there’s a festival happening and everybody’s invited.

2016 Mazda CX-3

Sporty, with more space

Brendan McAleer

Grinding Gears

The new MX-5 is a brilliant little car, nimble, light, quick; all the appeal of the original wrapped up in a package that meets modern requirements but has the soul of the original. But it doesn’t really matter. No, as good as the new ND-chassis Miata is, it’s not going to save Mazda. It simply doesn’t have the room to carry the company

— and while many have fallen in love with the bestselling roadster ever made, we all have more practical needs to consider. Thus, the need for a crossover.Yawn. Crossovers. Boring. But wait.What’s this? Is it . . . fun? The recipe is all wrong: front-wheel drive, four-cylinder, automatic transmission, and a

needlessly jacked up suspension. It should be dull. But here’s the thing, this little lightly powered crossover manages to be more fun to drive than several so-called sports coupes. It’s a Miata-with-abackpack, and it just might be the saviour Mazda needs. Design First impressions are

excellent. Mazda’s new design language has already produced the great-looking Mazda6 sedan, and turned the stalwart Mazda3 into a sort of Japanese AlfaRomeo. Here, it gives a compact crossover the sort of fresh and modern look the very ﬁrst Mazda3 had when it hit showrooms in 2004. See Front page 48

a bit of a growly character. LED daytime running lights bleed into the chrome surround of the grille, a cue perhaps cribbed from BMW. See Detailed page 50

Porsche snaps Audi’s streak at Le Mans

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

Porsche wins Le Mans Last year, Porsche returned to Le Mans prototype racing with much fanfare and expectation.The company has a long pedigree of winning at the most gruelling and famous endurance race in the world, and after a 16-year absence, they were ready to re-energize the world. Sadly, Le Mans is a place built to break machinery and spirits, and Porsche only just managed to claim completion at last year’s race.The Audi juggernaut steamed onward, crushing the opposition yet again. This year, however, Porsche absolutely blazed back onto the track, taking pole position in qualifying and setting record laps while doing so.They then proceeded to keep that pace for most of the race, ﬁnishing with a dominating ﬁrst and second win. There were other stories at Le Mans too, with Patrick Dempsey coming second

Brendan McAleer

Braking News

in class in his 911 RSR racer and a Corvette taking ﬁrst-in-class in the GTE pro class. But as far as the 2015 Le Mans was concerned, this year belonged to Porsche. Having broken Audi’s streak, next year’s race promises to be even better. Ford GT returns to Le Mans And here’s one car that ensures next year is going to be even nuttier — Ford’s going back to Le Mans, and they’re bringing the big guns. When the Ford GT was ﬁrst unveiled, a racing version was broadly hinted at. However, we’d all seen

that movie before: while the previous-gen GT looked a bit like the original, legendary GT40, it was just a retro-inspired supercar. A marvellous machine, yes, but not one built for the circuit. However, the new, Canadian-built Ford GT was obviously meant to take to the racetrack, and Ford has just announced that they intend to take on their rivals in the GTE class. A red, white, and blue liveried car was just revealed with special aerodynamic tweaks including a huge rear airdiffuser. The GTE class is one of the more interesting to watch in Le Mans racing because the cars actually look like cars (the LMP1 class is basically a spaceshipdogﬁght). Get ready to see the pride of Dearborn take on Ferrari all over again, as well as Porsche, Aston-Martin, and currentchampion Corvette. Rumour: Honda planning Cayman competitor Rumourmills always throw up all kinds of nonsense, especially where

sportscars are concerned. I mean, how many times have you been told there’s a new mid-engined Corvette coming? I’ll believe it when I see it. But here’s something that might have a thread of truth to it. Sources placed close to Honda indicate that the company is planning a small sportscar to compete with the Cayman. Details are slim and prone to conjecture, but the idea would be something like the Toyota MR2, re-born as a Honda ﬂagship. Here’s why this might actually happen.The NSX is going to be hugely expensive, and with a 500+ horsepower twin-turbo V-6, far more of an aggressive machine than the last one. In their arsenal, Honda has a new turbocharged fourcylinder engine that can be found in the ferocious Civic Type R, and they also have a tiny little mid-engined sports machine in the Japanonly S660. They’ve got a compact nine-speed dual-clutch gearbox to work with, experience developing midengined handling, years of

research and development on torque-vectoring clutches and stability control systems, and a desire to give Honda the halo car it might need. The Civic Type R is going to be an amazing machine, but quite expensive for a front-driver. A true Honda sportscar, something that carries the banner of the brand like the S2000 once did — if in a totally different way — might just be more than a rumour.

Car shows on the North Shore this weekend Father’s Day brings with it the promise of patterned socks and ties, but also several annual car shows on the North Shore. Skip the novelty neckties and take dad out to a couple of these show and shines instead. In Dundarave village, the local branch of the Porsche Club of America is celebrating the 10th anniversary of their annual show-and-ride, a Porschecentric show that raises money for cystic ﬁbrosis research. If you are a Porsche fan (even if your personal collection only

extends to Hot Wheels), it’s absolutely the place to be. About 100 machines will line the curb along Dundarave, and there’ll be everything there from 911s to a rare Carrera GT and even two 918 Spyders, Porsche’s latest supercar. With Porsche recently winning Le Mans in a historic 17-year comeback, expect a festive mood. Over at Waterfront Park, it’s the annual Italian and French car show. Matter of fact, the local Club Trofeo will be stopping in at the Porsche show to drop off a donation for their worthy cause before heading on over to their own show. The gathered Italian exotics are wonderful, and so too is the French elegance . . . and oddness. As ever at any of these shows, the real stories are with the people more than the cars, so make sure to say hello to one of the proud owners.They’ll be sure to talk your ear off.

Detailed interior unmatched in its class

From page 48

The ﬂoating roof out back is a nice touch, and makes the CX-3 look even smaller than it is. The body lines are two overlapping swooping curves, and give the car a hunchy, just-about-topounce demeanour. Base CX’s get a standard 16-inch alloy, which could maybe beneﬁt from a slightly betterlooking pattern. The GT versions get an 18-inch which looks great, but will cost you more when its time to swap tires. Environment Apart from the iPadglued-to-the-dash look of the infotainment, the look of the CX-3’s interior exceeds pretty much anything in its class, and could go toe-to-toe with entry-level luxury like the Mercedes-Benz GLA. Little details, such as the colour accents throughout the cabin and the single horizontal air vent, give this little crossover an upscale feel. Slide behind the wheel and Mazda’s crossover feels very much a driver’s car. Hands automatically grasp the wheel at the correct nine-and-three

position, and the seat feels nicely bolstered. Rearward visibility isn’t wonderful, but the side mirrors are large enough to handle the issue. Adopting a more relaxed position, I rest my right elbow on . . . nothing. There’s no armrest here, it’s a dealer accessory. Pretty as it is, the little Mazda has a few ergonomic quirks. The cupholders, for instance, are mounted almost exactly where your elbows go. Here, too, the CX-3 is just like its droptop cousin; the cupholders in that are an afterthought as well. Smartphone storage is a bit more of a mixed bag, with a small tray up front that’ll work for most folks, but is too small for larger phones. Still, dual USB outlets are handy. Cabin space in the rear is quite small — if you’re a young parent, stick with the CX-5. The trunk has a two-position ﬂoor, so is narrow but usefully sized.

Performance Under its long hood, the CX-3 gets the same 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine as found in the Mazda3. Thanks to some packaging considerations, it makes a little less power: 146 horsepower and 146 foot-pounds of torque. That’s hardly about to set the world on ﬁre, but paired with the quick-shifting six-speed automatic transmission, the CX-3 feels sprightly

off the line. As an urban runabout, it’s got plenty of scoot. It sounds pretty good too. On the highway, the main impression is that Mazda’s really done a good job in controlling noise, vibration, and harshness. The CX-3 is a smooth cruiser, even with its short wheelbase. As a commuter, it’ll do the job too. But when this little

trucklet really comes alive is on the weekend on a wriggly mountain backroad. It is a hoot, a dive-in-the-corners momentum machine that absolutely loves to dance. Steering assist is electric, so there’s not a ton of feel, but in all other respects, the CX3 drives like a modern interpretation of the Protege5. Remember that useful little wagon? In the

same way, this machine doesn’t have big power, but it makes the most of it. An automatic-equipped crossover that puts a grin on your face? You bet, and with plenty of grip and a faithfully composed chassis, the CX-3 is actually surprisingly quick through the corners. It eggs you on, a willing coconspirator for backroad shenanigans. Frankly, Mazda should

immediately start ﬁguring out how to turn this car into the next Mazdaspeed machine. Add some turbocharging pep and it could really put the hurt on higher-dollar machinery. As it is, it’s a single-serving-sized barrelof-laughs. Features Mazda’s infotainment See A little page 53

Muscle memory The Ultimate Guide to Muscle Cars by Jim Glastonbury, Chartwell Books (441 pages, $28)

The concept was reasonably simple. Take a small to midsize car body and cram the biggest possible engine under the hood, beef up the look with some big tires and you’ve got a muscle car. The mid-1960s kicked off an era of readily available performance cars and the Pontiac GTO is often considered to be the ﬁrst.

their creation — along with those variations that followed — there are pictures of all the important members of this club of thrill seekers. By the early ’70s the tide was turning. Gas prices were rising, critics were demanding greater safety features for all cars, and the car makers were ending their racing programs. In terms of automotive history the muscle cars were a short-lived party, but one everyone remembers and many yearn to relive. — Terry Peters

All of Detroit’s designers were quick to follow suit with their own powerhouses and in short order Chargers, Camaros, Challengers, Novas, Road Runners, Firebirds and many more rumbled up to trafﬁc lights and left in a cloud of burnt rubber. Author Jim Glastonbury offers an overview of the era before focusing in on detailed examinations of many of the iconic muscle cars. Filled with photographs of these cars and the models that lead up to

for highway passing.

system, while not fully integrated into the dash, is actually very easy to use. There’s a single rotary controller, BMW-style, and navigating through the menus is easy. Navigation is a dealer-installed accessory. The entry level GC model starts at $20,690, while my FWD GS tester hit $24,195. The GT model will hover right around the $30,000 mark after freight and delivery. Fuel economy ﬁgures are a claimed 8.2 (litres/100 kilometres) city and 6.7 highway for the front-wheel drive, and 8.8 city and 7.3 highway for all-wheel drive. Observed mileage in mixed driving was right on the money.

The checkered ﬂag Most of the fun of a Miata, but with four doors and a trunk.

Green light Great looks, inside and out; sporty handling; smooth ride; good fuel economy. Stop sign Smallish interior; some ergonomic issues; could handle a little more power

Competition Honda HR-V ($20,690) More practical than the CX-3, but less fun to drive, the HR-V is the CX-3’s direct rival, and you can expect it to trump the little Mazda in overall sales. The comparison is almost exactly the same as between that of the CX-5 and CR-V crossovers, where the former is zippy and enjoyable, and the latter is built for the dayto-day. However, the CX-3 skews younger and is also a more stylish vehicle by far. The HR-V is essentially a crossoverized Honda Fit, and that’s good, but for people who don’t need a lot of back seat room, the CX-3 has the same kind of fresh curb appeal that made the original Mazda3 so successful. mcaleeronwheels@gmail.com
