Senate, electoral reform discussed
Candidates talk Red Chamber reform, proportional representation BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
North Shore candidates from the four major parties are all promising their own brand of spitshine when it comes to reforming Canada’s
democratic institutions. Thanks to the Mike Duffy scandal, the Senate is operating to the satisfaction of pretty much no one, and the first-past-the-post electoral system is frequently criticized as being unfair or wasting Canadians’ votes.
But, while tweaking the electoral system is relatively simple, the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled reforming the Senate (or doing away with it), would require reopening the Constitution. Both times that’s been tried with the Meech Lake and Charlottetown accords, it failed and provoked a national unity crisis. Ontario and Quebec’s premiers have
already said Senate abolition is a non-starter. North Vancouver Liberal candidate Jonathan Wilkinson, who worked as a constitutional negotiator during the Charlottetown Accord, said his party’s compromise is to make Senate appointments of eminent Canadians based on merit and expertise, not party loyalty. “We’re trying to put
people into the Senate on the basis of a non-partisan approach where we will get that chamber to effectively be the chamber of sober second thought that it was intended to be, so that it’s not a political body,” he said. The electoral system would also change under a Liberal government, See Greens page 9

West Vancouver police are investigating a would-be armed mugging in Ambleside Park. Police say a couple in their 20s were in the park around 11 p.m. Tuesday when two young men emerged from the bushes wearing black hoodies and black bandanas over their faces. “The males presented what appeared to be a handgun and demanded all their stuff in some more vulgar terms,” said Const. Jeff Wood, West Vancouver police spokesman, adding that one of the suspects appeared nervous. When a car approached, he shouted “car” and the two fled north. Police found nothing in a search of the area. Police say the suspects are white, about 18 years old, with slim builds. It’s not known whether the gun was real. Anyone with info is asked to call West Van police.

River Woods co-op residents return home
Some Parkgate co-op families settle back in after devastating fire, longer wait for others MARIA SPITALE-LEISK mspitale-Leisk@nsnews.com
It was a long summer for dozens of residents displaced by the River Woods Housing Co-op fire in May, but now 10 families are back home. Anne Lerpiniere is among the lucky ones who were able to return at the beginning of September to the River Woods complex in the Parkgate area; the remaining 16 families will have to wait until April at the earliest. “I’ve got my patio lights on and everyone says what a welcome sight,” says Lerpiniere, a founding member of the 30-yearold co-op, speaking to the News last Friday. The inviting atmosphere is a far cry from what Lerpiniere experienced the evening of May 7. “I was lying in my bed at 8:30 at night and a pounding came to the door. And it was my next-door neighbour and she dragged me out of my apartment,” recalls Lerpiniere. She remembers standing in the middle of the courtyard in her pyjamas and seeing a tiny bit of the roof on fire. “And within seconds it just erupted and the whole roof was ablaze,” says Lerpiniere. The 69-year-old, who suffers from acute asthma, was treated by paramedics at the scene for smoke inhalation and later transferred to Lions Gate Hospital.
The next four months were chaotic for Lerpiniere whose living arrangement changed a handful of times. But now she’s back in her apartment, which escaped the fire mostly unscathed, with a fresh coat of paint on her walls. Lerpiniere is looking forward to getting back on her feet again. The greater community has played a special role in the homecoming for the River Woods’ residents, jumping into action immediately after the fire and donating everything from food to toiletries to gift certificates. “I could sit and cry just thinking about how good people were,” says Lerpiniere. The $13,000 raised from a crowdfunding campaign (fundaid.ca/ riverwoods), which is still active, was distributed recently amongst the 26 River Woods’ families affected by the fire, according to co-op president Diane Bennett. The money will be put towards the fire victims’ insurance deductibles or used to buy some necessities for their homes. As for the stilldisplaced residents, they have found temporary accommodations that are fairly local to River Woods, said Bennett. Between April and June is what Bennett said she is hearing for when those families can come back to their homes.
Anne Lerpiniere, along with 10 other families, returned home two weeks ago to the Parkgate-area River Woods Housing Coop that was ravaged by a fire in May. The remaining 16 families will have to wait until spring to go home. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH She is also praising the community for rallying around River Woods. “The donations from the community and the local businesses were just unbelievable,” said Bennett. Looking around River Woods, Bennett said the complex is starting to look like its former self again. “It’s a very different picture than it was I would say even 60 days ago when it was missing a roof,” said Bennett. The cause of the fire was undetermined.
Hikers rescued next morning after wrong turn on Seymour JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com
A middle-aged couple from Richmond spent a cold night on Mount Seymour Tuesday after taking a wrong turn on the way back down the trail. The 51-year-old woman and 55-year-old man had planned to go for a day hike, but didn’t tell
anyone where they were going, said North Shore Rescue team leader Mike Danks. That turned into an overnight ordeal after they became disoriented on the trail. “Instead of coming back to North Vancouver, they were going to Squamish,” said Danks. North Shore Rescue was called out around
10:30 p.m. Tuesday after a friend the hikers were supposed to meet for dinner that night called RCMP. Sleuthing on the couple’s home computer showed they were likely heading up to Third Pump. Ground search crews spent much of the night scouring on See Hikers page 5
Crown wants more jail time for pimp who preyed on teens JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com
A Crown prosecutor has asked a B.C. Supreme Court justice to lock up a violent pimp for 17 more years. Crown counsel Kristin Bryson asked Justice Catherine Bruce to consider the lengthy prison term for Reza Moazami, 31, who preyed on teenage girls in a prostitution ring he ran across the Lower Mainland, including on the North Shore. Moazami was convicted a year ago of 30 charges, including sexual
interference, sexual assault and living off the avails of prostitution. He is also the first person in B.C. to be convicted of human trafficking and has been in jail since his arrest more than three years ago. Bryson asked for back-to-back sentences for Moazami’s crimes, saying “crime must not get cheaper by the dozen.” She noted that in the past 10 years, the Criminal Code has been changed to bring in tougher sentences for sexual crimes against children, which should mean a stiffer sentence for Moazami.
Moazami’s victims – who testified during a lengthy trial – were between 14 and 19 when they worked for him as prostitutes at a series of condos and hotel rooms between 2009 and 2011. As their pimp, Moazami used both psychological and physical threats to force the girls to work for him. He took their photos to post on websites advertising sexual services, took calls to arrange their clients, pocketed the money and gave the teens drugs to keep them dependent on him.
Moazami forced some of the girls to have sex with up to 10 men or more in a day. At least three of the girls Moazami forced into prostitution were either from the North Shore or worked out of North Vancouver hotels. One girl was 14 when she got a call to help a friend who was at a North Vancouver hotel. When she got there, however, Moazami met her and told her she would have to work for him as a prostitute. She did that for several months, seeing customers
Moazami arranged either at the hotel or at homes in North Vancouver. The girl said Moazami took all the money she made, kept her high on drugs and didn’t let her out of the hotel room except to meet clients. She described working for him as “hell.” Another girl who had a troubled background in West Vancouver and was in foster care described how Moazami lured her into prostitution with promises of money and a glamorous lifestyle. In court this week, defence lawyer Jeremy
Fung asked the judge to reconsider her decision on the charges of living off the avails of prostitution, noting that law has since been struck down by the Supreme Court of Canada. But Bruce disagreed, saying the law was valid at the time of Moazami’s conviction. The sentencing hearing ground to a halt on Tuesday, however, after Moazami fired his lawyers before they could present legal submissions to the judge. The sentencing hearing has now been adjourned until the end of October.

In response, MacIntosh held out a pocket knife to the girl in front of other students and said, “Here, use this to erase your life.” In another incident, during a Halloween party for grade 7 and 8 classes, students asked MacIntosh if he was going to wear a costume. MacIntosh replied that he was already in costume, as he was dressed up as a pedophile.

A teacher and former principal at a North Vancouver Waldorf school has had his teaching certificate suspended for two months after showing a knife to an autistic student and telling her to “use this to erase your life.” Gerard MacIntosh, a Grade 8 teacher at Vancouver Waldorf School in North Vancouver received the suspension after several incidents of professional misconduct during the 2013/2014 school year. According to a notice posted online by the B.C. Commissioner for Teacher Regulation, in early 2014 a girl in MacIntosh’s Grade 8 class who had been

he autopsy report on the DOA TransLink funding plebiscite are in. Cause of death: Apathy. Of the 1.5-million ballots issued, less than half came back. Another 38,000 were sent to the bin because the well-intentioned voters didn’t follow the instructions. Only 36 per cent of voters age 24 to 35 (the blasted millennials) bothered to cast a ballot. This is particularly baffling, as this is the demographic that’s most likely to be taking transit. The 55-plus crowd was the only demographic to crack the 50 per cent turnout; the 60-per cent No vote likely reflects that. The whole futile effort cost Elections B.C. about $5.3 million and we have absolutely nothing to show for it. Our transportation minister seriously misjudged Lower Mainland residents’ appetites to vote on funding an
organization they don’t trust or like. But transportation infrastructure projects outside of TransLink’s reach roll on. With a so-called Massey Bridge in the works, and study now underway into whether the sleepy Sunshine Coast needs a billion dollars of concrete and highway to plug into the Lower Mainland’s road network, our provincial leadership has made clear their priorities: encouraging more cars into the same space. No mention of a plebiscite for those projects. How about a study into the costs and benefits reforming TransLink into an organization both the Yes and No voters alike can agree is accountable? Meanwhile, we’re left with the same traffic headaches and no more confidence in our transit agency. The government has offered TransLink some Band-Aid fixes. We say take it to the morgue.
There’s more sailing club speculation afloat Yes, at some point the present Hollyburn Sailing Club will be evicted. Yes, relocated elsewhere. And favoured use of the site? A restaurant. Not likely a fast-food joint. Mayor Michael Smith made this clear in a statement that dispels – or confirms – rumours swirling around the sailing club, smack in front of the uber-high-end Grosvenor building that the mayor sees as the centrepiece of his vision of Ambleside’s Marine Drive rejuvenation. Let me be equally clear: In 20 years, or fewer, when present disputes have dissipated along with memories of Ambleside/ Dundarave when it was a friendly, human-scale “village” – and, some will say, never was, certainly not in their lifetime – Smith may be celebrated as the visionary catalyst of West Vancouver’s business

prosperity and a livelier streetscape.

are in fact disappearing – certainly out of the price range of ordinary mortals. And Smith seems perfectly OK with that. What price charm? With no shortage of speculation afoot, including my own – my perfect logic in my last column foundered in the tangles of the sailing club’s lease – I asked Smith: “What is your personal wish regarding whether the sailing club stays where it is or is moved? As CEO your personal wish – informed of course by your take on community or any particular or special interests of the district – is the most important, if not the only one that ultimately counts.” The mayor’s response, in full: “I support a sailing club on our waterfront. Sailing, boating, kayaking, and other water sports are
key to our community. We proudly refer to West Vancouver as the waterfront community. “I also support sensible use of municipal assets and this is why all district land assets are being looked at for opportunities that would benefit residents. “The current site is large and extremely valuable and is a key part of Ambleside. Maintaining a sailing club has always been part of any discussions. The current building is old and does not serve the community well and councils for decades have considered what should happen there. A new sailing club building offering more rentals and lessons and other services could allow for many more residents to enjoy and use this beautiful site. “A restaurant as part of the redevelopment of this very prime location could provide funding for the
project instead of relying on taxes to build it. A facility like this would be enjoyed by all residents and visitors, sailors or not. “District staff will continue to develop plans for this and other waterfront sites which have been purchased over the years at great cost by our taxpayers. All proposals will, as is always the case, go out to the public for full feedback and input before any decisions are made by council.” That’s it. Read carefully. The club premises are, he believes, old – and it seems the mayor is not a fan of old. And he’s long favoured a restaurant right on the beach. When he speaks of renewal of Marine Drive businesses, plainly he hasn’t present businesses, mostly small ones, in mind: restaurants, tiny cafes, chain coffee shops,
vegetable markets, florists, beauty salons, clothing. He likes new, and bigger, and generating more money including tax money. His record as CEO and in council votes shows he’s indifferent to the (quite toothless) official community plan restricting height and bulk. And monster houses? Give him credit, seriously: No politically stroked, mealy-mouthed phony bow to preserving neighbourhoods and so forth. He’s truly honest. When asked about the huge edifice taking hotel-sized shape beyond Lighthouse Park and easily visible on Marine Drive from a kilometre away, Smith shrugged. It’s a free market. End of story.

VIEWPOINT
Economy emerging as defining electoral issue What was not considered even a remote possibility by many just a few months ago now has to be taken seriously: Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party may yet win this federal election. His political opponents and much of the public have long been ready to put Harper and his folks on the political scrap heap. That may still happen, but the fact is there appears to be more life in the ruling Conservatives than many had thought possible. The Mike Duffy scandal has come and gone, at least for now. Harper has been beat up in the media for various other controversies – the Syrian refugee crisis, dumb candidates who’ve had to resign, a sluggish start to his campaign, hiring a ruthless political advisor from Australia, to name just a few – yet he has persevered, at least in one opinion poll after another. How on earth could this have happened? How could someone who is so vilified by his opponents even stand a chance of winning an

election? Several factors are working in Harper’s favour, and they won’t disappear from view before the Oct. 19 vote. First and foremost it is clear that the economy is emerging as the defining issue with the electorate. Traditionally, this is an issue that works better for the Conservatives than the other parties. Older voters (who vote in far greater numbers than younger voters) are usually more cautious about wanting a government to make major moves that may risk the economy’s health.
They generally favour a go-slow approach that doesn’t involve spending huge amounts of money on something. For the most part, Harper fits that bill nicely. In contrast, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has boldly come out in favour of running deficits to pay for infrastructure projects and NDP leader Tom Mulcair also wants to spend a lot of new dollars (albeit while balancing the budget) on pet programs like a $15 a day daycare initiative. Trudeau and Mulcair also want to make various tax changes. Those changes make their base of voters happy, but likely firm up Harper’s support as well. Harper insists he alone can provide economic security for the country. He is also playing another related card - national security. While it was at first thought that the Syrian refugee crisis would somehow hurt him with the electorate, the precise opposite seems to have happened. One can even

argue that Harper has exploited the issue by leaving the impression his two opponents would open the country’s floodgates to refugees without proper security checks (a claim without any foundation, but this isn’t the first election campaign that features overheated rhetoric or downright misleading claims against an opponent). Harper has managed to
fire up his base of voters on issues like these. He has been accused of playing fear-based politics, but that accusation has been laid before and likely has little traction with most voters. Finally, as the campaign draws to the its final weeks, voters start to pay more attention to it. The voters know Harper and likely have their minds made up one way or another about him

North Van biologist saves records from Harper landfill
When the invitation came through in July, North Vancouver resident Ken Ashley told me he was dumbfounded. An experienced aquatic biologist and currently Director of the BCIT Rivers Institute, Dr. Ashley had become accustomed to the deep cuts to environmental science under the Harper government. But he was unprepared for what was offered. “Thirty-seven boxes containing nearly 1500 documents representing the entire historical scientific record on the state of the environment in Burrard Inlet and the Fraser River estuary,” he said, sitting at a table in my campaign office. “Those documents were headed to the landfill, so I retrieved them and they’re now sitting in my office for safekeeping where I plan to create a library for my students and academics to use.”
Treasure trove How such a treasure trove of irreplaceable environmental data nearly ended up in a landfill is another chapter in the sorry saga of the Harper government’s contempt for science and its disregard for the importance of evidence-based decisions in developing government policy. For 28 years, the Burrard Inlet Environmental Action Program and Fraser River Estuary Management Program were models of inter-governmental collaboration monitoring important local aquatic ecosystems. But in 2013, the federal government suddenly pulled the plug on its participation and the programs were shuttered entirely on March 31st of that year.

already. But they don’t know Mulcair or Trudeau, to anywhere near the same degree. Many people are only taking a hard look at them for the first time (most people don’t watch or care about question period in the House of Commons). The fact that neither Mulcair or Trudeau have
The not-for-profit environmental organization overseeing the closure reached out to Ken Ashley when it appeared the documents were destined for the landfill. Dr. Ashley later learned that roughly 200 of the 1500 documents had been digitized.
Ignorant or calculated? “There was no direction from the federal government on what to do with the
documents,” Dr. Ashley said. “Why would anyone do that? Is it ignorance or a calculated way of wiping clear the data baseline? Without it, there’s no way of tracking changes in our local aquatic ecosystems at a time of accelerating climate change and concerns about new and persistent pollutants entering aquatic food webs.”
Let’s not forget, we’re talking about the Fraser River estuary – one of the world’s greatest salmon rivers, migratory bird flyways and near-shore habitat of the endangered southern resident orcas. Dr. Ashley believes this is part of a pattern. Since 2012, the federal government has closed 16 science libraries, enacted arbitrary policy changes when it comes to data and shut down world-leading facilities such as the 40 year old Experimental Lakes Area in Ontario. “Under the guise of austerity, I believe the Harper government has systematically and strategically gutted scientific endeavours that government considers inconvenient to its economic agenda and ideology.”
Reversing the damage Justin Trudeau announced in West Vancouver recently that a Liberal government will reinstate the $40 million cut from the federal government’s ocean science and monitoring programs, and restore the scientific capabilities of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. We will rebuild the federal government’s capacity to deliver on evidence-based decision-making. And reverse the Harper government’s assault on science and the free flow of information - which poses a serious threat to a functioning democracy.

Greens want referendum on Senate
Don’t bury Harper yet
From page 1
From page 7
Wilkinson said. “We have made the commitment that this will be the last election run under the first-pastthe-post electoral system, which is a system that grossly distorts the preferences of voters.” Upon being elected, the Liberals would establish an all-party parliamentary committee to review the pros and cons of alternative systems and come up with a new method, whether it be proportional representation, single transferable votes, or run-off elections. “It behooves us to have a conversation with the other parties and with a variety of other experts to make sure we air all of these things in front of Canadians before we make a decision,” Wilkinson said. West VancouverSunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country Conservative John Weston too has expertise in constitutional matters, having worked as a lawyer for the B.C. government to patriate the constitution. Weston said he favours
having a credible upper legislative body, but could not say how it ought to be reformed. “Prime Minister Harper has done everything he could to reform the Senate and was rebuffed by the Supreme Court of Canada in a surprising manner,” he said. “He’s continuing to look for ways and I vehemently support that. We do need a reformed senate and if it can’t be reformed, Harper’s said he’s prepared to see it be abolished.” When it comes to the electoral system, Weston supports the status quo, citing the results of the failed 2009 BC-STV referendum, which only got 39 per cent support. “I have to be governed by British Columbians in that regard and so far, I’ve seen little appetite for proportional representation,” he said, “It was a fairly hefty rejection.” Burnaby North-Seymour NDP candidate Carol Baird Ellan’s position leaves little room for ambiguity. “It’s been clear all along. We want Senate abolition. It’s our view it’s wrong
to have an unelected, unaccountable body making laws for Canadians and we’ve seen how it’s worked over the years. It’s past its best-before date” she said. Baird Ellan said she believes the constitutional process can be carried out without getting into provoking another crisis. “You have to deal with the Constitution in order to abolish the Senate. There’s no question about that but as far as I’m concerned, it’s one item that needs to be dealt with and it doesn’t necessarily have to lead to a full discussion of things that will take years to deal with,” she said. Canada’s voting system is also “badly in need of repair,” Baird Ellan said, and an NDP government would rejig Parliament so a portion of the seats will be filled on a proportional representation system. The NDP are also promising to repeal the Unfair Elections Act. When it comes to the Senate, the Green Party would like to hold a national referendum on the subject.
Lawson was a real-estate tycoon From page 6
has very little history, little beyond nature’s gifts worth preserving: The father of the town, if there is one, is John Lawson – who sold real estate, whose eyes lit up when he looked across the water and saw the possibilities. Nor did the Guinness family
build a bridge to the North Shore in the 1930s to serve a population but to create one, possibly the most fabulous $75,000-real-estate investment in Canada’s records. It may seem a puzzling paradox given the aforementioned, but I like and admire the mayor as a person.
I’m less sure I like him as a mayor. But then I may be classifiable as transitioning into oldtimer-hood. Oh, fresh rumour: That restaurant that could appear on the sailing club site in the next few years – a Cactus Club. Just talk. rtlautens@gmail.com

been able to pull away from each other, or from Harper, suggests they haven’t caught on with the majority of voters. To beat Harper, one of them has to establish himself as the clear alternative and so far neither has. It may remain a tight three-way race until the end. And if that’s the case, the one who benefits most from that scenario is the guy currently in the Prime Minister’s Office. There are still more than three weeks to go, but don’t bury Stephen Harper just yet.

welcomes the debate around senate reform, but she cautioned that changing the Senate will not be simple or easy. “I’m also not deaf. I can hear that people are not happy with us at the moment, which is very fair. But I think we need to really look at how we want to be governed?” she said. While scandal may have obscured its real role, the Senate still effectively reviews and improves legislation through its many committees, Jaffer said. She has sat on 16 committees including ones dedicated to human rights, international trade, national security, terrorism, criminal law and drug policy.

“Hopefully we end up with a referendum-type question that says ‘Do you favour the reformation proposal or abolition?’ and there will be no option for status quo,” said Claire Martin, North Vancouver Green candidate. “Sadly” that would require a constitutional process, which Martin conceded would be a “minefield.” Any Green MPs will make their support of a minority government conditional upon the government bringing in some form of proportional representation, Martin said. Senator Mobina Jaffer, who hails from North Vancouver, said she

INQUIRING REPORTER The B.C. government announced last week it plans to study a highway link to the Sunshine Coast. One aspect the study will examine is if building a road or a series of bridges would bolster the Sunshine Coast’s economy. Critics of the proposal say it will only add to traffic congestion. We hit the streets to ask: Would you rather drive to the Sunshine Coast than take a ferry? What are your thoughts? Weigh in at nsnews.com. - Maria Spitale-Leisk
Rebecca Gehman North Vancouver “I guess I would like to drive. I do like the ferry, but only if you have lots of time and aren’t commuting.”
Would you rather drive to the Sunshine Coast than take a ferry?
Bob Mussio North Vancouver “A road would make sense, but I don’t think they will do it; it’s low on their priority list.”
Rebecca Schatz Nanaimo “I think so. It might open up housing options for people.”
Kristian Baxter Nanaimo “Yes. When we take the ferry from Vancouver Island to Vancouver it’s expensive and quite empty a lot of the time.”
Michael Leslie North Vancouver “No, for its costs. They (the government) will never do it. It sounds to me like a great realestate proposal.”

New York City trio take vintage sound to the limits
Musette Explosion Musette Explosion, Saturday, Sept. 26, 8 p.m. at Kay Meek Centre, 1700 Mathers Ave. Tickets: $35 each, or $100 for a table of four, available at kaymeekcentre.com. CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com
At 18-years-old, Will Holshouser was playing piano in his college jazz band when, one day, a friend gave him a quasigag gift that would change his life. “It was this musty old accordion, probably from the ’40s, and it was not in good shape, but right away I loved the sound. There was something magical about it. I picked it up and
I felt like I was suddenly in a circus.” The portable instrument was small enough to take on the subway. It sat against his chest when he played, allowing the bellowing sound to vibrate through his body. And it opened a door to a world of folk music Holshouser had never before explored. “It was such a different feeling from playing the piano.” After college, the Arkansas native focused on the accordion. At first, he learned by ear from recordings, but started taking proper lessons when he moved to New York in the early ’90s. Today, the Brooklyn-based musician, composer and improviser tours regularly with jazz violinist Regina Carter and
her band, he is a member of a couple of trios and he has played with clarinetist David Krakauer, the New York City Ballet, the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra, and many others. As an accompanying artist, it’s difficult to explore the range his instrument is capable of. That’s one of the reasons he formed Musette Explosion, a trio consisting of himself on accordion, Matt Munisteri on acoustic guitar, and Marcus Rojas on tuba. The group’s repertoire is based on traditional French musette, a dancehall genre that puts the accordion front and centre. They play musette waltzes written in the ’20s through to the ’40s in addition to some of Holshouser’s own
compositions that use the Parisian musette style as a reference point. The group was born after a serendipitous meeting on a subway platform in the late ’90s. Holshouser and Munisteri were both headed home from gigs with different bands and Holshouser stopped to jam with a busker who was playing the accordion. “Matt heard us playing and he had been thinking he’d like to play with an accordionist, so he and I exchanged info and got together,” Holshouser says. As it turned out, they shared a mutual affection for French musette. “He’s a master of vintage acoustic guitar styles,” Holshouser says of
Munisteri. “The French musette tunes, for me and for Matt, were a good way to learn about what sounds our instruments could make.” The pair teamed up with a few different bassists, “but we felt like the low-end role in the band needed to be a little bit more flexible.” Holshouser knew of Rojas through the New York music scene and was a big fan of the classically trained tuba player who had worked with some of the biggest names in avant-garde jazz. “We didn’t want to just get a tuba player in the band because we thought it was cute. We wanted to play with Marcus because he’s a very special

Comics back in vogue at Word Vancouver Cartoonist Julian Lawrence represents part of a renewed resurgence of the art form Word Vancouver: On now through Sunday at various venues in Vancouver culminating with Festival Day, featuring readings, panel discussions, workshops, entertainment and a marketplace, Sunday Sept. 27, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. at Library Square, in and around the Central Branch of Vancouver Public Library. Free. For more information visit wordvancouver.ca. ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com
“I decided to be an artist when I was in kindergarten,” says Julian Lawrence. Reached Wednesday by the North Shore News, the Vancouver-based, award-winning artist and illustrator who specializes in comic books recalls the pride experienced when, at that age, he painted a picture of Peter and the Wolf that had impressed his teacher so, it was deemed worthy of being hung up for all to see. “It just felt really nice to see my artwork hanging on the wall,” he says. His future was further cemented when he got to Grade 4. While the Lower Mainland has been home for the last 26 years, Lawrence was born in England and raised in Québec. He recalls another supportive teacher then, after seeing that he could draw, encouraged him to submit assignments in comic form. “Growing up in Québec there were comic books everywhere in the
classroom all the time. I was reading Tintin, I was reading Asterix and Lucky Luke and all these other Belgian and French and European comic characters. In France, comic books have always been seen as the ninth art, as this great medium, this great language of expression. And that kind of came over to Québec as well. . . . They weren’t seen as something that lazy readers would gravitate towards, they were seen as important as any other books. I could sign comic books out of the library, I could do book reports on a Tintin book. I could hand in homework as a drawn comic,” he says. That early exposure and support translated into a life-long love affair for the craft, and Lawrence is continuing to produce his own work as well as educate people of all ages about the medium, advocating for its possibilities as an art form for self-expression. This year has been a busy one for the artist, having released a graphic novel on Conundrum Press in May, The Adventures of Drippy the Newsboy Vol. 1: Drippy’s Mama, with its follow, The Adventures of Drippy the Newsboy Vol. 2: The Red Drip of Courage set for release next month. Lawrence will offer insight into his work at this week’s Word Vancouver, an annual free festival of reading and writing that kicked off yesterday, Sept. 23, and is offering a variety of programming through
Julian Lawrence’s new graphic novel series The Adventures of Drippy the Newsboy adapt the works of American author Stephen Crane. PHOTO SUPPLIED KAT THORSEN Sunday, the main Festival Day, running from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., at Library Square at the Vancouver Public Library Central Branch. Festivities will include readings, panel discussions, professional development workshops,
entertainment and an exhibitor marketplace. This year’s festival is offering an increased focus on comics and Lawrence is pleased to be returning, having been part of Word Vancouver during its early days, which go back to

1995. “Now there seems to be a resurgence of interest in comics, which is kind of a roller coaster thing that’s been affecting comics since they started in 1934, the sort of up and down . . . ride of where they hit
a peak of popularity, and then they crash again, and then they come back up again, and then they crash again. It’s a whole series of things that seem to affect them. Now it seems like comics are back in the mainstream and we’re seeing a lot of movies being made out of comics and that’s trickling into an interest in some of the more alternative comics that are happening. That’s what I appreciate about Word this year, is that they really seem to be putting a focus on alternative comics and doit-yourself comics too,” he says. On Sunday, Lawrence will give a presentation on his own work at 4:10 p.m. As well, he’s participating in a panel as part of the festival’s Underground Words + Art programming, entitled Comics: DIY and Self-Publishing, at 2 p.m., joined by David Lasky, Leonard Wong and moderated by Ed Brisson. Examples of other comics events include a Comics Workshop for Beginners with Lasky at 12:30 p.m. “The comics that I draw are meant to appeal to a wide range of ages. I’m not just drawing books for kids or books for adults. The books I draw, I’m trying to appeal on various levels. My books are for kids aged seven to 107,” says Lawrence. His new graphic novels The Adventures of Drippy the Newsboy Vol. 1: Drippy’s Mama and The Adventures of Drippy the Newsboy Vol. 2: The Red Drip of Courage are the first in a three-part series seeing him adapt the works of prolific American author Stephen Crane. Vol 1 is based on Crane’s George’s Mother and Vol 2 See Drippy page 17

I believe in a strong democracy. But our democracy will only be healthy and strong if we as citizens participate in public life. One important way we can participate is to vote. It is the way we remind the Prime Minister and our elected representatives that their power comes from the people. And it is to the people that they must answer – on election day and between elections.

Drippy conceptualizes an imaginary place
From page 16
on The Red Badge of Courage. Lawrence had heard of Crane - his face appears on The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover - but he’d never read any of his work until one day he randomly picked up an anthology of his writing at a thrift store. “I loved his writing style. He writes narration in this really beautiful, poetic way. But then when it comes to people speaking and dialogue it’s written in this very rough, early Bronx accent. He was writing in the 1890s, he died when he was 29, but he wrote tons of books. He was a reporter, he travelled the world and just wrote all the time and put out quite an amount of work for the short time he was alive. His work really speaks to me. What I’ve done with my adaptations is to maintain that dialogue but then to try and, instead of having that poetic narration, to have really nicely detailed artwork to go with (it),” he says. Vol. 1 sees naive Drippy get pulled into the world of the Forbidden Zone and in Vol. 2 prepare to go to war with the enemy. The character emerged in 1999. Lawrence had been working as a comics editor at a local weekly publication called Terminal City. When Terminal City closed, Lawrence and a couple of other ex-employees rallied to put together their own monthly newspaper, The Drippy Gazette. “It was conceptual in the sense that we imagined Vancouver, which is very rainy, as being Drippytown and Drippy was the mascot,” he says. The mandate of the monthly publication was to feature artist interviews and events, and keep the Vancouver comics scene together. While the newspaper lasted 12 months, Drippy
A self-portrait of the artist as a young goat. GRAPHIC SUPPLIED JULIAN LAWRENCE lived on in Lawrence’s work. Apart from focusing on his own comics, Lawrence is currently enrolled at the University of British Columbia, working on a masters exploring comic books and education. He’s also continually busy teaching and leading workshops on the art, seeing a real value in hand drawing. Lawrence works with the North Vancouver Community Arts Council, ArtStarts and Emily Carr University of Art + Design where he has a Continuing Studies course, The Contemporary Comic, running Sept. 28Nov. 23. Lawrence will unveil Vol. 2 of The Adventures of Drippy the Newsboy at Word Vancouver and will launch it officially at the Short Run Comix and Arts Festival in Seattle Oct. 31. He plans to work on Vol. 3 this summer with a potential release in fall 2016. His books are available on Amazon.ca, at Lucky’s Comics or RX Comics on Vancouver’s Main Street, or North Vancouver’s Lonsdale Avenue Big Pete’s Collectibles.

Performing live improv comedy is hard; adding improvised songs to the show is even harder. What happens when another huge challenge is thrown into the mix? North Shore audiences can find out on Sept. 25, when Will Shakespeare’s
Improv Musical plays for one performance as part of Lynn Valley’s successful Friday Night Live series. “Improvising a musical is one of the most difficult things a theatre company can do,” says Alan Marriott, who does double duty as improv performer and Friday Night Live artistic director. “Why not up the ante by making it
a Shakespearean musical? All of us at Friday Night Live love the Bard, and it’s great fun to create a show on the spot that focuses on his works.” While the show will feature Shakespearean language, themes, and characters, all other aspects of the night’s performance are the result of taking suggestions
from the audience at the beginning of the evening. “We have no clue before we start what song is going to come out,” Marriott says. “We don’t have prerehearsed or pre-written lyrics, melodies, chord structures, plots or lines. It gets a bit wild but that’s what makes it fresh and funny.”

struggle is constant. Bringing his perspective, author and director of the UBC Museum of Anthropology Anthony Alan Shelton examines the broad mix of Portuguese art and presents this companion book to the exhibit of the same name. Drawing from works ranging from historically significant paintings all the way to contemporary graffiti art, Shelton looks at both the means and the method of these artistic expressions. Folk art appears alongside the works of professionals and the interweaving of the rural and urban esthetic is apparent in both. The eclectic collection presented
offers a broad sampling of ceramics, carvings, paintings, puppets, and more. The exhibit at the MOA’s Audain Gallery continues until Oct. 12. – Terry Peters

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE
to FASHION & STYLE
Pipe Shop hosts vintage market More than 30 vendors to sell goods and gifts CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com
STYLE SHOWCASE Vancouver Fashion Week kicks off on Monday. page 35
North Shore vintage junkies rejoice. After three years of setting up shop at Wellbrook Winery in Delta, the Déjà Vu Vintage Market is heading to the North Vancouver waterfront. On Saturday, Oct. 3, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Pipe Shop at Shipbuilders’ Square will fill up with more than 30 vendors from across the Lower Mainland selling an assortment of vintage furniture, jewelry, home and garden decor, antiques, collectibles, home baking, handmade and vintage-inspired gifts. Market organizer Maris MacDonald is excited to bring her event to the restored North Shore heritage building. “It’s a good fit for a vintage market,” she says, adding that Déjà Vu isn’t your typical craft fair. “This one’s unique because it focuses on vintage, on repurposing, restyling, saving things from the landfill. It’s about creating and reusing.” Many of the items for sale will be upcycled — for example, handcrafted clocks made from discarded cable spools, and bracelets and pendants made from silver-plated cutlery — but shoppers will also find new vintage-
A sampling of some of the items treasure-hunters will find at the Déjà Vu Vintage Market on Saturday, Oct. 3 at the Pipe Shop in North Vancouver. PHOTOS SUPPLIED SHELLEY NIEMEK inspired goods and some genuine antiques too. The old-timey esthetic has been a trend in fashion and home décor for a few years now, but MacDonald says that for some people, vintage is a way of life. “They’re changing the way they think about buying new. They prefer to buy something that saves the planet rather than just spending money and replacing things.”
And for many treasurehunters, the appeal of vintage comes from owning a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture or jewelry as opposed to a massproduced clone. “They come with history, they come with a story, and I think people love that,” MacDonald says of vintage goods. “They love the idea that it’s been around, it’s got character.”
Most of the participating vendors don’t have their own dedicated retail space, so this market gives them a chance to dress up a 12-by-12-foot booth however they please. “It’s a great opportunity for them because they get to create a little store within the market and display all their items.” North Shore vendors include home furnisher ReStory, which has a store
at 101-399 Mountain Hwy., North Vancouver, and vintage décor purveyor Not2Shabby, which has a store at 1175 W. 15th St., North Vancouver. MacDonald says the Oct. 3 market will have a fall harvest theme, complete with hay bales and pumpkins. Admission is $5 (children are free). For more information visit dejavuvintagemarket.com.

MUSIC Trio bring Jazz band fires up for Cannonball in a lot of Louis Hayes leads ensemble in tribute to alto sax legend
different influences From page 12
Louis Hayes & The Cannonball Adderley Legacy Band, as part of the Cap Jazz Series, Saturday, Sept. 26 at 8 p.m. at the BlueShore Financial Centre for the Performing Arts at Capilano University. Tickets: $35/$32, 604990-7810, capilanou.ca/ centre. MARIA SPITALE-LEISK Mspitale-leisk@nsnews.com
A member of the exclusive club of American jazz greats, Louis Hayes is as humble as he is talented. Just consider who Hayes’ contemporaries and collaborators were during hard bop and modal jazz’s pioneering era: Horace Silver, Canadian jazz pianist Oscar Peterson and John Coltrane. “It was a very important time in my life,” recalls Hayes, in a phone interview with the News from his hotel room, ahead of his gig in North Vancouver on Saturday. Hayes’ tribute to the music of the great Cannonball Adderley Quintet takes place at Capilano University, home to a nationally acclaimed jazz studies program. During his formative years in 1940s Detroit, Hayes absorbed the music through osmosis. His father, a big Duke Ellington fan, would play the drums and piano, while Hayes’ mother also knew her away around an upright. “When I was coming up that was before TV so (living rooms) definitely had pianos in them,” says Hayes. The drums were a natural fit for the teenage jazz prodigy who knew it was a passion because nobody forced him to practise. “You learn and grow on your own; it’s up to you. After you learn a certain amount, you are your own - pretty much after kindergarten,” says Hayes. Earlier this week he imparted that wisdom on some elementary school students, while touring some schools in Vancouver.
The Cannonball Adderley Legacy Band, featuring drummer Louis Hayes, pays tribute to the hard bop music of the jazz legend Cannonball Adderley in a special concert at Capilano University on Saturday, Sept. 26. PHOTO SUPPLIED “They are just like kids all over the world where you go, they barely know what a trumpet is or a bass is,” observes Hayes, noting how key it is for parents or educators to introduce instruments early in life. Looking back Hayes acknowledges he took some risks to get the ultimate reward: making it in New York as a part of a top-billed jazz act. “New York is the Mecca,” he says. Before he reached the Big Apple, and the big time, an underage Hayes was playing the club circuit in the fertile music ground of Detroit. “It wasn’t fine, but I was doing it anyway,” says Hayes of his stealthy moves back then, with a chuckle. An 18-year-old Hayes got a call in 1956 from Silver, an influencer of hard bop jazz, asking if Hayes
would join the great Horace Silver Quintet. Hayes figures he was championed for the slot by fellow Detroit son and jazz musician Doug Watkins. “Whatever he said (to Silver) I have no idea,” says Hayes, his humbleness showing through again. Clearly it was the opportunity of a lifetime for Hayes to jump in and join Silver while he was up and coming. “He was at the time one of the main young artists that was making history in the world, and a prolific writer of music,” recalls Hayes. “So, it was a wonderful beginning for me and him.” The art of improvising and making the music your own through chord changes, at the core of bebop jazz, resonated with Hayes. In 1959 Hayes moved on to join Cannonball
Adderley, propelling the quintet to jazz musical heights and timeless recordings through 1965. “It was very creative, we did a lot of travelling,” says Hayes, reflecting on that time in his career. “It was a very warm and close relationship we had as a group. That’s why it latest so long.” As for his two-time collaboration with Peterson, Hayes sings his praises. “Oscar is one of the major forces in this art form and he’s a Canadian,” says Hayes. “It was a wonderful experience travelling and recording with who we used to call OP.” In leading the The Cannonball Legacy Band, Hayes pays tribute to alto sax legend Adderley and a great era for jazz music. “It’s an honour. And it’s wonderful to be born at a time and come together
playing with one of the great artists in the world, and puts you on a level yourself that makes you a bigger person,” explains Hayes. The Cannonball Legacy Band features Hayes on drums, Grammy Award winning Vincent Herring on alto sax, preeminent young trumpeter Jeremy Pelt on trumpet, acclaimed pianist Rick Germanson and multitalented Dezron Douglas on acoustic bass. At 78 years old, Hayes is showing no sign of slowing down. As for what keeps the Riverdale, N.Y. resident energetic, Hayes says, “Now that’s a difficult question for me to answer.” “I’m not a person that has purposely tried to stay youthful and go to the gym and workout and all these things. I just try to live my life. Luckily I’m this age and I feel fine pretty much every day.”
musician. He’s a master of his instrument, but he’s also a brilliant improviser,” Holshouser says, describing Rojas’ expert ability to coax a range of textures and sounds out of his horn. “It might sound like the wind blowing or a bird or a whale or something like that.” The Musette Explosion trio is unquestionable unique in its instrumentation. “The organism that we make together is sort of a shape-shifter. It can do a lot of different styles and take on a lot of different forms, just with these three goofy little instruments,” Holshouser says, quickly adding, “I say goofy, but it’s not a joke and it’s not a gimmick.” The three members all have busy careers backing up other artists. Musette Explosion gives them the freedom to test the limits of their respective instruments. “One reason we like playing together is we like to explore all the possibilities of what all our instruments can do.” Holshouser explains that French musette was heavily influenced by early-20thcentury American jazz, so although it emerged in a foreign country, it has always felt somehow familiar to his ears. “Apart from just the sheer beauty of the tunes and the fascinating tambours and expressive sounds that the players on those recordings could get out of acoustic guitars and accordions, there’s also this double-layered familiarity, yet newness,” he says. “Musette is kind of like the French cousin of jazz.” His own compositions explore and expand on the traditional French dance music. “One of the tunes that we play is a minor key waltz, but we slowed it down and I used more jazz harmony in the chords. I still try to make the melody a very whistleable, engaging melody in the way that a musette melody would be,” he says. “It’s sort of a little love letter to the musette style, postmarked in Brooklyn, New York.”

TRAVEL
Enjoying the view on top of the world
Norwegian cruise takes advantage of 24/7 sunshine MIKE GRENBY Contributing Writer
LONGYEARBYEN, Norway – This was an expedition cruise designed for people who wanted (1) to experience the solitary mid-summer cold and snow of endless Arctic mountains and pristine glaciers, (2) to see a polar bear, reindeer and perhaps a walrus, (3) to go where the sun shines for four months without setting. Few of them expected to also (4) discover a puffin dog with an extra toe, (5) learn how to domesticate an eider duck for profit, and (6) get a whiff of thousands of cod hung out to dry. “It was all amazing,” said Sangeeta Patel, of Mumbai. Why? “Because we got to see and do things most other people never experience.” Indeed, most of the 148 people came on this twoweek Lindblad-National Geographic cruise seeking experiences unique to the very far north – from the Norwegian fjords to Arctic Svalbard and Longyearbyen, the most northerly permanent settlement in the world. Norway’s Svalbard region, covered by the third largest icecap (after Antarctica and Greenland), shares the top of the world with the northern tip of Greenland and a few Canadian and Russian islands in the mostly frozen Arctic Ocean. When the National Geographic Explorer sailed across 80 degrees north latitude, she was a mere 560 nautical miles from the North Pole. And the sun, which rose here on April19, had no plans to set again until Aug. 23. The cruise started in the slightly milder climes of Bergen, a historic port on Norway’s coast at roughly the same latitude as Whitehorse. As we sailed up into the higher latitudes, the temperatures started to go down – and it was time to test the layers of clothing the “to bring” list had suggested: T-shirt, shirt, fleece jacket, parka, rain
At Vaeroya, in northern Norway, the remaining houses in an abandoned fishing village at the base of a steep cliff have been turned into remote holiday cottages. PHOTO SUPPLIED MIKE GRENBY jacket; cap with brim; waterproof gloves; long johns, jeans, waterproof pants; rubber boots. I felt – and looked like – the Michelin Man. But I stayed 100 per cent dry and warm. “This is the best year ever for wild orchids,” said our guide as we hiked across the rocky ground just outside Nes, in the Vega Archipelago – careful not to step on the miniature purple blossoms. “The flowers here consider themselves alpine because of barren terrain, cold and wind.” Back in town we heard the story of how local inhabitants befriend eider ducks for mutual benefit, creating safe nesting places with dried seaweed for the ducks. The locals take half the eggs and when the ducks leave, remove the super-soft down which the female had plucked from her breast to line the nest. The tiny feathers, which have no “spine” like normal feathers, must be very carefully cleaned: buyers shake them thoroughly to see if there is any dirt before setting the price for this super light, super warm natural insulation. (Eiderdown duvets typically sell for up to $10,000.) After crossing the
Arctic Circle we sailed into the Nordfjord arm of Melfjord. The scenery was truly awesome, with sheer snow-covered mountains rising sharply out of the water and waterfalls fed by melting snow cascading over glacially smoothed rocks. Super-buoyant twoperson kayaks were lowered so people could get up close and personal with nature. We went ashore in Vaeroya where the remaining houses from an abandoned village at the base of a steep cliff had been turned into very remote holiday cottages. Still, we could easily imagine how life must have been in the past. “The villagers used to fish but in particular relied on the puffins so much that they bred the Mastad puffin dog,” our guide told us. “These fairly small dogs had an extra toe to help them extract the puffins from their nests in the ground.” That afternoon we also visited nearby Reine, where thousands of cod bodies plus their separated heads, which are prized for cod cheeks, had been hung on outside racks to dry. After several months, workers were cutting down the fish to be shipped to markets
around the world. In the evening, Capt. Leif Skog delicately turned the ship around in its own 112 metre-length in very narrow Trollfjord – edging the bow so close to shore that 19-year-old merchant marine cadet, Nina Demet, could excitedly reach out to pick an overhanging branch. In Tromso, our final mainland port, we learned about the nomadic indigenous Sami people of northern Scandinavia and also the harsh conditions overcome by Arctic explorers like Roald Amundsen. And so we ourselves headed toward the far northern reaches of Svalbard – stopping briefly for a Zodiac cruise along the shores of Bear Island to see both nesting birds on the cliffs above and the surprising wreck of a Russian supply ship on the beach below – surprising that any boat could have managed to run into this dot of land surrounded by thousands of kilometres of open ocean (we were told vodka had been involved). After a lecture on polar bear safety – “stay with your armed guide whenever you are ashore” – we saw our first bear (of 11), a large
male probably weighing about 500 kilograms, walking across an ice floe, pausing to occasionally look in our direction as the captain eased the ship slowly closer. Now the ship was scrunching through the sea ice, with the occasional thump as she hit a larger or thicker chunk. Off we went in the Zodiacs to see puffins swimming in the water, then walruses were spotted off the ship’s bow. And whales. And Brunnich’s guillemots which use open wings to “fly” as deep as 100m under water chasing their prey. All around the ship we marvelled at the endless jagged mountains and valleys covered with creamy or glistening white snow, plus the glaciers – some of them several kilometres across – towering over us if we dared to approach their edges where they met the sometimes frozen ocean. Hikes along the shore or up steep hills to waterfalls and viewpoints, depending on your stamina and inclination; Zodiac cruises to remote coves and caves; sightseeing from the ship – like watching a polar bear with rambunctious cub who fell behind and
then had to scamper to keep up with mum, and a male bear eating a seal kill; daily illustrated briefings about Arctic inhabitants, culture, geography, history, exploration and nature from the naturalists/ guides; fine dining on board with executive Chef Jesper Westermark’s meals focused on sensible portion sizes (you could always have more than one) of healthy food (salads, soups, fish, meat, vegetables, fresh fruit) plus dessert, cheese and other indulgences; reasonably priced laundry services; an open bridge policy: this was truly the best of expedition cruising. We disembarked in Longyearbyen, that most northerly permanent settlement in the world, and caught a charter flight south to Oslo. We had one last look as we flew over the frozen Arctic land/seascape, secure in the knowledge our memories of that unique northern life were tucked safely in our minds and cameras. – News money columnist Mike Grenby is also a travel writer who teaches journalism at Bond University on Australia’s Gold Coast – mgrenby@bond.edu.au

Muybridge’s moving pictures Eadweard. Directed by Kyle Rideout. Starring Michael Eklund, Sara Canning, Christopher Heyerdahl and Charlie Carrick. Screening at the Vancouver International Film Festival. JEREMY SHEPHERD Contributing Writer
“Film is a disease,” said Frank Capra. If the old moviemaker’s diagnosis is correct, then Eadweard Muybridge was patient zero. Because before Capra shot a frame of It’s a Wonderful Life, before D.W. Griffith lionized the Ku Klux Klan and before Thomas Edison strapped boxing gloves on two feisty housecats and had them duke it out in a miniature boxing ring, there was Muybridge. Eadward Muybridge (pronounced Edward Mybridge) is the subject of the historical drama Eadweard, directed by Kyle Rideout. Rideout and co-writer Josh Epstein first became acquainted with cinema’s father (if not father, estranged uncle, at least) while working on the play Studies in Motion, an
examination of Muybridge. “We’d be backstage and say, ‘I can’t believe this isn’t a movie,’” Rideout recalls. After acquiring the rights to the play, Rideout and Epstein began honing the story of Muybridge, a still photographer who couldn’t bear the thought of his photographs sitting still. Muybridge’s obsession – what Capra called a disease – was capturing motion. Back in the 1870s a debate raged about whether or not a horse ever had all four hooves off the ground at once. Unwilling to trust such a matter to a single camera, Muybridge lined up 12 cameras like Rockettes. The cameras flashed in sequence, settling a debate and igniting an obsession. (And for the record, horses do sometimes have all four hooves off the ground.) The movie focuses on the next few years in Muybridge’s life, as we watch him become professionally messianic and personally a mess in his attempt to compose something entirely new: a photographic encyclopedia of movement. His days are spent training his dozen cameras on motion of all kinds (an
attractive woman jumping over a chair, a dog trotting, an attractive woman climbing a ladder, two men wrestling, an attractive nude woman being nude and attractive) and his nights are spent justifying his work to his wife, Flora. Muybridge, despite resembling a shopping mall Santa Claus at four whiskys past quitting time and having the bedside manner of Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood, proves irresistible to young Flora . . . for a while. Their relationship is strained by Muybridge’s work, infidelity, and his tendency to look at her and keep looking; as though he’s having a staring contest with God. Muybridge’s obsessive eye became easier to comprehend during the movie’s 24-day shoot, according to Rideout. “I felt like I kind of became Muybridge myself on set,” the director says. In re-enacting Muybridge’s motion studies, Rideout found himself on the brink of panic when his producer informed him the llamas weren’t going to make it to set as scheduled. (The crew saved the day
by picking up some goats who were willing to work on short notice.) But like all obsessions, Muybridge’s was ultimately alienating. “He started to get very obsessed, more than I can understand,” Rideout says. “He didn’t know when to say, ‘Enough is enough.’” Muybridge also never quite had the notion of using the camera to tell a story. “He was so close,” Rideout notes. But while he missed out on creating cinema, he had no trouble creating a behavioural blueprint for every taskmaster director that would follow. “He would pass out when he was in the middle of shooting and he would have fainting spells and he was sometimes difficult to work with,” Rideout says. “It sounded like a director to us.” His work was largely eclipsed by more famous inventors, but while his name is largely forgotten and often mispronounced when it is remembered, Rideout believes his influence remains. “Every single one of us has a piece of what
Muybridge created.” The movie is scheduled to screen at International Cinemas on Oct. 2 and Vancouver Playhouse Oct. 5.
You don’t have to go very far back in the corporate world to a time when men knew their dress shirt size, and pantyhose for women was mandated in the employee dress code. Since then, Casual Friday has somehow morphed into casual everyday (killing many an upscale menswear business along the way), while mimeographs and rolodexes have been consigned to the past. Seventy-year-old Ben Whittaker (Robert De Niro) is a throwback to that world. Jules Ostin (Anne Hathaway) was thinking college senior, maybe even high school senior, when she agreed to a senior internship program at her successful fashion start-up company. It comes as a shock to learn that her new intern Ben is collecting social security. See Lead page 46

Vancouver International Film Festival kicks off 34th season
A cinematic feast for the senses JOHN GOODMAN jgoodman@nsnews.com
The 34th annual Vancouver International Film Festival returns with a full slate of world class cinema. Over 375 films from 70 countries will be on screens in the Lower Mainland through Oct. 9. As in previous years feature films and shorts are grouped in thematic series, such as Dragons & Tigers, Cinema of Our Time and Canadian Images. Below is just a taste of what’s in store at this year’s VIFF. Jafar Panahi’s Taxi. Directed by Jafar Panahi (Iran, 2015) Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi continues to make his own renegade films despite being banned in Tehran. His latest, Taxi, is part of a strong contingent of Iranian films represented at this year’s VIFF. First screening of the film is at the Vancouver Playhouse on Oct. 1 at 4:15 p.m.
Ixcanul. Directed by Jayro Bustamante (France, Guatemala, 2015) Chosen as Guatemala’s first ever Academy Awards entry, Bustamente’s drama has been described as “downright Herzogian” in its poetically surreal treatment of a Mayan teen and her family living at the foot of a volcano on a coffee plantation. Werner would be proud. Decor. Directed by Ahmad Abdalla. Cast: Horeya Farghaly, Khaled Abol Naga (Egypt, 2014) Filmmaker Ahmad Abdalla brought his last film Microphone to VIFF and this time around he gets a much bigger budget in his black-and-white tribute to classical Egyptian cinema filtered through the Sirkian notion of a “woman’s picture” as a B Movie art form. For an NSN interview with Abdalla from 2013 visit nsnews.com/ entertainment/film/microphone-gives-voiceto-the-egyptian-underground-1.681038.
Haida Gwaii: On the Edge of the World. Directed by Charles Wilkinson (Canada, 2015) Capilano University filmmaker Charles Wilkinson won Best Canadian Feature Documentary at Hot Docs 15 for this look at the otherworldly Haida Gwaii. For a 2013 NSN interview with Wilkinson visit nsnews.com/entertainment/film/manwith-a-movie-camera-q-a-with-charleswilkinson-1.647913. The Forbidden Room. Directed by Guy Maddin and Eve Johnson (Canada, 2015) The latest instalment from Guy Maddin’s unique vision features the likes of Charlotte Rampling, Roy Dupuis Geraldine Chaplin, Mathieu Amalric and Maria de Medeiros moving through his arcane cinematic world. Steeped in film history Maddin’s films (Tales from Gimli Hospital) always maintain a fevered pitch of manic intensity. Brilliant.
Into the Forest. Directed by Patricia Rozema (Canada, 2015) Ellen Page and Evan Rachel Wood star in this speculative fiction about survival on the West Coast. Rozema (I’ve Heard the Mermaids Singing) wrote the screenplay based on the novel by Jean Heglund. The Assassin. Directed by Hou Hsiao-Hsien (China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, 2015) Cast: Shu Qi, Chang Chen, Zhou Yun, Satoshi Tsumabuki. Taiwanese filmmaker Hou Hsiao-Hsien (The Puppetmaster, Flowers of Shanghai, Flight of the Red Balloon) renews his collaboration with cinematographer Mark Ping Bing Lee (In the Mood for Love, Norwegian Wood) in a Tang Dynasty martial arts story. Hou won Best Director at Cannes and the film is the Taiwanese entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards.
Lead actors share genuine chemistry From page 45
Ben is a real relic: a former phone book company executive, his business is completely obsolete. But after traveling, taking classes and far too much tai chi, the widower knows he has more to offer. “Musicians don’t retire,” he says, “they stop when there’s no more music in them.” For her part, Jules could use some sage advice. Her online fashion site About The Fit expanded at such a rapid rate she has scarcely stopped for breath since it launched; her husband
Matt, a stay-at-home dad (Anders Holm), is feeling neglected. To quote another Nancy Meyers film, something’s gotta give. Predictable fish-outof-water moments ensue as Ben tries to figure out Facebook and how not to get fired from a gig where he doesn’t even get paid. In addition to advising Jules, Ben becomes the mentor for a whole office full of adult males who are more boys than men. (Including scene-stealer Adam Devine, Pitch Perfect 2). The boys gradually up their game, wardrobe-wise, and learn to communicate with words
rather than emoticons. Meanwhile Ben’s head is turned for the first time in a long time by Fiona (Rene Russo), the company’s inhouse masseuse. Locations were Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx. Because it’s a Nancy Meyers film, The Intern has generated almost as much advance buzz about its interiors as anything else, with spreads in Traditional Home and pins aplenty on Pinterest. Credit the collaboration between Meyers and production designer Kristi Zea. (Of note: some of the artwork in Ben’s flat is done
by Robert De Niro Sr., the late figurative painter.) Despite some farfetched scripting and sporadically woeful dialogue The Intern nurtures a toorare thing: a believable onscreen male-female friendship. Hathaway and De Niro, Oscar winners both, share a genuine chemistry that breaks through some of the more sophomoric moments in the early part of the film and remind us that not all relationships are of the tildeath-us-do-part variety. If you can hang on for it, the final act packs an emotional punch.
Anne Hathaway and Rober De Niro star in Nancy Meyers’ comedy The Intern. PHOTO SUPPLIED And the film does tackle some of the big issues with ease, issues such as women in workplace power positions and retirement fears. For men of a certain age like Ben, baby boomers, career came first. Held
up against the work-life balance struggle for women more than a generation younger, millennials like Jules, we can only conclude that senior intern and junior mentor are not so different after all.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to THE ROAD
The Escape, a strong-selling model for years, gets an update for 2016 that features technological improvements and sporty driving characteristics that should keep it near the top of the sales chart. The Escape is available at Cam Clark Ford in the Northshore Auto Mall. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD

Grinding Gears
All hail the crossover: king of the sales chart, master of the road, displacer of the stalwart family sedan. Seriously, nobody buys anything with four doors anymore unless it’s got a raised up ground clearance and pseudo-SUV looks. There’s a pretty good reason for this state of affairs, and it’s a near total lack of penalty for
ride height and increased carry capacity. Fuel economy levels are about the same for a crossover as a sedan (or at least, close enough given our still relatively affordable fuel prices); so too, is handling approximately the same. However, not all crossovers are created equal. Some focus on driving efficiency first, some strive to have
maximum practicality, some are filled with clever interior technologies, and some are simply resting on the laurels of the badge out front. A strong-selling model for many years, the Escape could easily fall into the latter category, but here it is updated for the 2016 year. Never mind the battle for sales supremacy, here’s how it does in the quest to
end up in your driveway. Design While not overburdened by a huge grille, as seems to so often be the case with modern crossovers, the Escape can be a slightly ungainly looking thing from some angles. As it’s essentially a raised and embiggened version of the See Escape page 56

Pollution scandal a strike against self-regulation
A biweekly roundup of automotive news, good, bad and just plain weird.
VW’s pollution woes: Das uh-oh You couldn’t have missed it – every major news organization has been seething at the discovery that Volkswagen’s socalled clean diesel engines are anything but. Touted as a thrifty alternative to complex hybrid technology, the TDI engine was supposed to be a friend to both the ecowarrior and road-warrior alike. Sadly, while VW’s turbodiesel engines certainly delivered on the fuel economy front, their NOx emissions were much higher than advertised: try 4,000 per cent higher. When university researchers discovered this strange state of affairs, they delved deeper and it emerged that VW had set up their engine software to only produce acceptable emissions during testing. Get the car out in the real world, and all bets were off. A staggering 11 million vehicles are affected by the issue, and the fallout for VW has been huge. Already CEO Martin Winterkorn has stepped down, and the company faces both huge fines and

further penalties for those culpable. Affected customers are already lining up for class action lawsuits, as well they should. Not only are many owners deeply uncomfortable with their cars belching noxious gasses, but a potential fix may well negatively affect fuel economy. VW’s TDI models have always done well in resale, but this blow looks to undo much of that good reputation. Add in a reputation for electrical foibles, the infamous sludge issue from several years ago, and oft-times expensive maintenance, and VW seems to be squandering every last bit of the goodwill its fans once had. But here’s the real takeaway lesson. VW is probably not the only See Porsche page 55

automotive corporation to pull a stunt like this, and this event should silence those who would happily let corporations self-regulate. We need regulatory bodies in the automotive industry, both in safety and emissions, and they need to have the teeth to deal with stuff like this. Will VW’s brand image recover from the tarnish? Maybe. More importantly, will we learn our lesson, and keep a closer eye on those for whom, in the end, it’s clearly all about the bottom line? Porsche Mission E concept takes on Tesla In many ways, the Tesla Model S has already supplanted the Porsche 911 as the Vancouver entrepreneur’s ride of choice. It’s fast, it makes a statement, and while the range would theoretically be restrictive if you had a long highway commute, it’s plenty for the hemmed-in territories of the Lower Mainland. Porsche takes a more global view of sales, but it’s not like they haven’t been paying attention to the way the California upstart has been capturing attention. A dual-motor machine with Ludicrous speed is a dream car for more and more people; and Porsche likes to be the one people dream of. Enter the Mission E Concept, revealed at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt. It’s sleek, slick, and powered by a pair of electric motors
identical to those used in the LeMans-winning 919 hybrid. Total power is 600 horsepower, a little less than Tesla’s most powerful models, but range is an entirely acceptable 500 kilometres. Even better is the Mission E’s crazy 800-volt charging capacity. Given a proper set up, the car could be charged from a dead battery to 400-kilometre range in just 15 minutes. That’s about the same as a gasoline fillup. Porsche 911 range goes all-turbo If the Mission E shows what a far-future Porsche might look like, the immediate future for the brand is turbocharging. Yes, we’ve had a 911 Turbo for years, but this is the dawn of the 911 small-t turbo: both the Carrera and Carrera S will drop their naturally aspirated six-cylinder engines for turbocharged units. The base Carrera now comes with a 3.0-litre engine making 370 h.p., and the S model sees a bump to 420 h.p. from the same displacement. Only the race-bred GT3 model retains a naturally aspirated engine. The good is that emissions and fuel economy are improved – at least under ideal conditions, no? The bad is the end of some of that 911 character. Still, almost every European luxury brand has gone the same route, so why not Porsche? Mercedes-Benz puts turbocharged engines in almost their entire lineup

1,000 REASONS TO MAKE A MITSUBISHI YOUR FIRST VEHICLE
2016 Honda Civic revealed Faith in the German car companies shaken? Not to worry, Honda’s here to woo you back. The Civic is closing in on two decades of being the best-selling car in Canada, and this 10th generation is laying it all on the table. First up is a bold new look, part Euro-Civic and part mini-Accord. The interior is also significantly less plasticky, and there’ll be a proper hatchback variant for those who want it. Under the hood is a standard 2.0-litre engine in base models and an optional 1.5-litre turbocharged four cylinder with more torque and better cruising fuel economy. These will both be paired with CVT transmissions, which while hardly a driving enthusiast’s favourite, do very well in real-world performance (see: CVTequipped WRX). Best of all is the return of the Civic Type-R to North America. Actually, never mind return, we’ve never before got a Civic this hot. Perhaps, after so long on the sales chart, Honda finally thinks we’re ready for the R. I’ll say so!

Escape basically a jacked-up Focus From page 53
Focus hatchback, it’s no longer the simple, boxy machine of the previous generation. That car had a more honest demeanor, where this one is more complex. Still, a few nips and tucks freshen things up a bit, not least the available 19-inch alloys that came on this Titanium trim top model. The big wheels give the Escape a strong-looking profile, and elevate it from humdrum family-hauler to something a bit nicer. BiXenon headlights, part of an optional tech package, also bring equipment levels up to those of a more upscale machine. Environment Like the Focus, the Escape’s interior is more form than function, and lacks interior storage. It’s no minivan replacement, and you have to look hard to find cubbies for all the stuff that everyday living seems to come with. Having said that, it’s also a pretty nice cockpit,
with available heavily bolstered sport seats, a well-trimmed dash, and an update to the Sync infotainment. This last is perhaps the most important upgrade. While the screen remains set back just a little too far, and the redundant buttons placed at an angle that’s not quite ergonomic, Ford’s new touchscreen system is a leap forward that’ll please anyone frustrated by wrestling with the old system. The voice commands still work well – better than many manufacturers’ offerings – but the screen is now easier to read, quicker to respond, and the menus make more sense. Rear passenger room is good, though better suited to kids than adults, and trunk space is just a hair smaller than rivals like the Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4. It totals 971 litres with all seats in place, and a capacious 1,920 l with the rears laid flat. Ford also includes a handsfree tailgate: just wave your foot under the rear bumper to
pop open the trunk.
Performance The Escape comes with several engine options, including a 168 horsepower 2.5-litre fourcylinder, a 178 h.p 1.6-litre turbocharged engine with punchy torque, and the top level 2.0-litre turbocharged engine making 240 h.p. at 5,500 r.p.m. and 270 footpounds of torque at 3,000 r.p.m. Those last are the figures on premium fuel; the 2.0-litre makes 231 h.p. on regular. You won’t notice the 9 h.p. drop from using regular gas, so skip the high-octane stuff. As it is, the Escape with the 2.0-litre option has a surfeit of power, and offers much stronger acceleration than anything else in the segment apart from the similarly turbocharged Forester XT. Add in a chassis that is, as mentioned, heavily related to the fun-to-drive Focus hatchback, and you’ve got a zippy little crossover with excellent driving

dynamics. Mechanical grip is excellent, and when that gives up, the torque-vectoring front end is capable of braking an inside wheel to haul the nose of the Escape deeper into the corner for better bite. If anything, it’s like an all-wheel-drive Focus ST with more comfortable seats and better cargo capacity. There’s plenty of pace here, more than enough for the city street, and only the Mazda CX-5 can really touch the Escape for driving verve; factor in the Escape’s much more potent turbocharged engine, and it’s the quickest mainstream crossover there is. Features As mentioned, the updates to Ford’s Sync system finally bring the Escape’s technological Achilles heel in line. With the brighter screen and larger icons, the satellite navigation and infotainment is far easier

to use. Add in stuff like the handsfree power liftgate, and Ford is providing option levels you’d normally have to step up to a luxury badge to get. In fact, the Escape Titanium makes a pretty strong argument against the equivalent Lincoln model. Not that it isn’t expensive too. This
top-level Escape rang up with options to a heady $40K-plus. That’s just Ford’s business plan – even though the 2016 is just out, there’s already heavy discounting to make it seem like a better deal. Official fuel economy figures for the largest 2.0-litre offering are 8.4 (litres/100 kilometres) on the highway for manualequipped cars, and 11.4 in the city. While highway
mileages can be achieved with gentle driving, the Ecoboost engine will ordinarily be a bit thirsty if you dip into the boost in the city.

CR-V a reliable alternative From page 57
is indeed the perfect car if you don’t want to think about your purchase too much. It’s got a good reputation, strong reliability, excellent fuel economy, and a few nice touches like clever folding seats. From a tech standpoint, the CR-V doesn’t offer quite the same gee-whiz factor as the Escape – though its multi-angle rearview camera is pretty great. Also, there’s only one engine and one transmission on offer: a 185 h.p. four-cylinder attached to a CVT. Still, that’s good enough for reasonable acceleration and strong fuel economy. It’s sensible, and that’s what buying a Honda is all about. mcaleer.nsnews@gmail.com
