KINDER MORGAN: NEB DECISION

Energy board approves pipeline plan Final decision now rests with federal government JENNIFER MOREAU, BRENT RICHTER AND JEREMY SHEPHERD brichter@nsnews.com

The Kinder Morgan pipeline plan just cleared a major hurdle.

The National Energy Board is recommending the federal government approve the company’s plan to twin the Trans Mountain pipeline as long as 157 conditions are met. The announcement came down Thursday afternoon, after more than two years of hearings and a record number of intervenors participating. “The board is of the view that overall, with the implementation of Trans Mountain’s environmental protection

procedures and mitigation, and the board’s recommended conditions, the project would not likely cause significant environment effects,” said Robert Steedman, the NEB’s chief environment officer in a pre-written statement read to media via teleconference from Calgary. Steedman went on to note the board found “significant effects” in relation to increases in tanker traffic associated with the expansion. Tankers are expected to increase from five per month to 34. However, marine shipping is outside the NEB’s jurisdiction. In the NEB’s 533-page report, the board stated the decision was a “difficult one” and noted that many of the benefits are national or regional, yet the burdens rest with local, regional and Aboriginal communities. The board’s approval means the pipeline’s fate

Police chief plays game with would-be scammer JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

Attention online scam artists: the mark responding to your “great investment offer” may be the chief of police.

Like a fisherman with time on his hands and a bite on the hook, West Vancouver Police Department Chief Len Goerke

played with an online scam artist recently over a series of increasingly preposterous emails. After a would-be fraudster purporting to represent a Russian investor willing to sink $50 million into Goerke’s company recently emailed him, the police chief decided clicking the spam button would be too easy.

“I get lots of these kind of emails,” Goerke said, explaining their abundance is evidence they’re likely working. Writing under the name William T.F. Amor Decosmos, Goerke replied that after years of watching others have all the luck raising money, he was “overjoyed that it is FINALLY my turn.” The second email assured

Goerke – who hadn’t asked – that “we are not involved in terrorist act,” before requesting his name, address and investment plan, along with a “police clearance letter.” By the fourth email Goerke was masquerading as a retiree with a dream to build a combination curling rink/donut shop. “Nobody sells donuts around here and many people love

them,” he wrote. “There’s a certain amount of satisfaction from just wasting a scammer’s time,” he said. “If a person is spending time trying to figure out how to get money out of me, they’re not spending time trying to figure out how to get money out of someone else.” Despite a limited grasp of grammar and spelling on the

part of the scammer, reading the emails was instructive, according to Goerke. The scammer sent “faux, legal documents” in an attempt to appear legitimate. “They’re really just about walking you down the road where eventually … what you give them is enough personal

TREVOR LAUTENS: WEST VAN’S WATERFRONT PLAN PAGE 8

City to highlight tax deferral

Fraudsters try to gain information From page 1

JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

Death and taxes may be certain, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to postpone them.

Many cash-strapped parents pay property taxes they can’t afford because they don’t know about a provincial program allowing young families to defer those annual bills, according to City of North Vancouver Coun. Linda Buchanan. City council voted unanimously Monday to publicize the oft-neglected Families with Children Tax Deferment program. Homeowners who support children or students are eligible for the deferment, which comes with 2.7 per cent interest. The family program allows B.C. residents to put off part or all of their property taxes on their principal residence so long as they have a 15 per cent equity of the house’s assessed value and aren’t in arrears on property taxes or municipal utilities bills. With property values rising and many young families financially stretched, Buchanan called on the city to make the program better known. The city is planning to include information about the deferment program with this year’s tax notices and promote the option via the city’s website and e-newsletter. While Buchanan was keen to let homeowners know about the deferment, she also suggested the provincial government consider dropping the interest rate. While young families pay 2.7 per cent interest on their deferred tax bill, homeowners 55 and older pay only 0.7 per cent. “I think it would be wise to at least look at families being charged at the same rate as the 55-plus program,” she said. Parents who don’t live with their children but pay child support and parents of children with disabilities may also be eligible. Homeowners need to carry fire insurance to get the deferment. Houses on First Nations land as well as homes registered under a business or estate are ineligible.

information that they can take money from you,” he said. Canadians reported being cheated out of more than $37 million in 2014, according to the Canadian anti-fraud centre. The report recorded 7,334 Canadians who were defrauded through scam websites or emails. Those are just “the tip of the iceberg,” Goerke said. “The vast majority of people who are victimized in this way don’t report it for a number of reasons including embarrassment.” While he wanted to bring awareness to online fraud, Goerke had two words of advice for people who receive suspicious emails: “Just delete.”

LIONS BAY: DECORATIVE MEDIANS QUESTIONED

Highway barrier safety challenged Paramedic calls for fixes on dangerous stretch of road BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

A North Shore paramedic who has attended numerous serious collisions on the Sea to Sky Highway is attempting to resuscitate a campaign to increase safety on a troubled stretch of the highway.

Tyson Lehmann was on scene on May 4 when a Vancouver man was killed on the highway near Brunswick Beach Road just north of Lions Bay. Police say the victim’s black Mercedes crossed into the oncoming lane and was struck by a southbound SUV. “Over and over again, that’s where the accidents happen,” Lehmann said. The accident closed the highway in both directions for hours. Although he’s been called to many collisions there, Lehmann is pursuing the matter as a private citizen. The May 4 collision wouldn’t have been so catastrophic had there been a proper barrier instead of

A stretch of Highway 99 north of Lions Bay showing the current tree-lined median. A North Shore man has called for concrete barriers to be installed. PHOTO SUPPLIED a median of trees planted between the northbound and southbound lanes, Lehmann said. “I’d like to see the decorative barriers disappear and actually put a concrete divider in on all these corners where accidents have happened along the Sea to Sky corridor,” he said. It will only become more important as Squamish grows and becomes a commuter town for Vancouver workers, Lehmann added. Lehmann has been recirculating an online petition started in 2015 by West Vancouver resident David Tompkins. The petition gains signatures every time there is

a serious collision on the Sea to Sky. It is now has almost 3,100 supporters. West Vancouver-Sea to Sky MLA Jordan Sturdy said he would support replacing the trees with a barricade – but that design decision was made at the behest of Lions Bay council before the 2010 Olympics. “That was their requirement, their demand essentially, to allow us to widen and upgrade the highway,” he said. “We’ve been in discussions with Lions Bay about this. There’s no real objection to removing (the trees) from what I understand, and putting in a concrete median but it would take

the agreement of Lions Bay, essentially.” Though safety is the primary concern, lengthy highway closures are also an issue, something Sturdy’s constituents remind him of when the highway is blocked for hours at a time. “It has an enormous, enormous economic impact on the whole corridor,” he said. “The general thought is, as time goes on, those trees are just going to get more problematic.” Lions Bay Mayor Karl Buhr was out of the country and unavailable to comment but the village’s chief administrative officer Peter DeJong issued a statement.

“Village of Lions Bay council is very concerned about life safety issues regarding Highway 99 through Lions Bay. While the safety of the highway, including configuration, signage and policing, is beyond the jurisdiction of the village, the municipality is working with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to find effective solutions to increase safety and prevent further loss of life,” it read. Between 2009 and 2014, the four-kilometre section at Lions Bay had 91 collisions, with 34 involving injuries, and one fatal incident, according to the province. Those numbers don’t meet the province’s definition of a “high collision” corridor, according to the ministry. Driver error, like excessive speed and inattention, were the cause in 64 per cent of accidents. About 36 per cent were due to other factors like road conditions, dodging wildlife, illness or impairment. “The current planted median area with curbing is designed for the safety of the travelling public at the posted speeds,” read a statement from the ministry, adding the province is currently discussing further options to improve safety on the highway.

WV heroes recognized for saving a life Trio raced to help woman pinned by van BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

A West Vancouver retiree and two contractors have received commendations from the West Vancouver Police Department’s chief constable for their role in saving the life of a badly injured woman.

Yuan Wang was working in his garden on May 6, 2015, when a woman driving a minivan down his steep Piccadilly South driveway lost control. She hit a retaining wall and the van rolled onto its side, pinning her arm underneath. “There was a big banging, several times, and crying,” Wang said. “I rushed over there. Then I saw her car was there on a 90-degree angle on the driver’s side. It just skidded down there… I saw the blood running over the stones. I didn’t know what to do.” Father and son contracting team Michael and Charles Frass, who were working next door, heard the commotion and hopped the fence. The three tried to muscle the

The men received police commendations for their actions this week. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD minivan up onto its wheels on their own but had no luck. “Remember seeing in the movies that in extreme circumstances, you get super-human strength and you can lift it? It doesn’t work,” Charles said.

Thankfully, Wang happened to be keeping a forklift in his garage at the time. He used it to lift the van up off the woman’s arm and then cut the seatbelt with a pair of scissors. Michael and Charles pulled

the woman out. “Michael got under the lady. She was shocked. We were trying to get her name to talk to her and make sure she didn’t pass out. She was conscious but really incoherent

because of the shock,” Charles said. He then rigged a tourniquet to stop the flow of blood. They called 9-1-1 and firefighters and an ambulance were soon on the scene but

West Vancouver Const. Jeff Palmer said the amateur heroes likely saved the day. “She suffered a really quite critical injury of the arm. She could have bled out in not a very long time,” he said. Michael said the official commendation was nice to receive, but he really was happy just to be in a position to help. “I didn’t expect it at all. It’s just something you do and you’re thankful you could help someone. It’s not that you think you’ll get an award,” Michael said. “It just shows that everyone can do something to help someone in need.” The group received their commendations at the West Vancouver police board meeting on Thursday afternoon. Several West Vancouver constables received police commendations last month for their heroic actions in several incidents: Rescuing a mother and children from a vehicle flipped over a steep embankment, a nick-of-time seizing of a distraught person who was attempting to jump from the Lions Gate Bridge and tackling a man who had doused himself in gasoline and was attempting to light himself on fire.

Tsleil-Waututh vow to halt expansion From page 1

now rests with the Liberal cabinet, and the final decision will likely be announced in December. The NEB’s main task was to determine whether the project was in Canada’s best interests. In justifying their decision, the NEB members listed their main reasons: That the pipeline increased access for Canadian oil, hundreds of long-term jobs and thousands in construction, development for Indigenous communities, benefits from spending on pipeline materials and considerable government revenue. Burnaby North-Seymour Liberal MP Terry Beech said he was not surprised by the NEB’s recommendation and his role now is to make the riding’s concerns front and centre with the decision makers in Ottawa. “When it comes down to this issue, I have a voice. All MPs have a voice. But I don’t have a veto,” he said. “I’m going work with all my stakeholders who live in the community and around the community and are impacted by this pipeline and encourage them to participate in this process wholeheartedly.” Beech said he is planning a number of open forums and meetings with community groups in the coming months. He said that will be an opportunity for people who feel they weren’t heard during the process so far, acknowledging the NEB process was “inadequate and flawed” “I will make sure to pass on our community’s views to my caucus, the cabinet, the prime minister and everyone else in Ottawa,” he said. During the 2015 election campaign, Justin Trudeau said that “governments grant permits, communities grant permission,” Beech acknowledged. But he could not say whether that permission had been granted. “I hesitate to answer that right now because I don’t want to pre-empt the sevenmonth process we’re about to undertake. Certainly looking at what was submitted on behalf

of our relevant community members, the municipalities, the MLAs, the province, the local First Nations, and certainly the letters I’ve received in my inbox, I would have to say our local community has not granted that permission yet,” he said. The announcement changes nothing for Rueben George, manager of the TsleilWaututh Nation’s Sacred Trust Initiative, which has been opposing the project since its onset. “I’m not surprised. For us, it’s work as usual. We have a plan that we haven’t been shy about, sharing on how we feel about the project and what we’re doing to stop it,” he said. The Tsleil-Waututh Nation is currently waiting on a ruling from the federal court, alleging the National Energy Board and federal government failed in their constitutional duty to consult the First Nation. The Tsleil-Waututh produced their own 1,200-page assessment of the proposal and found “100 per cent” the pipeline would be a bad idea, George said. “It’s clear and apparent that we have the best interest to protect the land and the water, which we’ve been doing historically for thousands of years. When we do this work, everybody benefits. Everybody,” he said. The NEB’s approval may be a step towards pipeline approval, but it’s certainly not the last step, cautioned North Vancouver Liberal MP Jonathan Wilkinson. “That’s the NEB’s approval, that’s not the government’s approval,” he said. When asked about the challenges of meeting climate change goals should the pipeline be approved, Wilkinson stressed that any emissions would have to fall below Alberta’s cap. “They’re not direct emissions because pipelines typically don’t leak,” he said. If the project is approved, it will be because the government believes there is sufficient spill response in place, according to Wilkinson. “We are Vancouverites, but we’re also British Columbians

and we’re Canadians, so there has to be a national look at this as well as a local look at this,” he said, discussing the economic benefits of expansion. When campaigning for office in 2015, Wilkinson told voters: “We as a country cannot say ‘no’ to everything.” Describing her reaction as disappointed but not surprised, environmentalist and NOPE founder Janice Edmonds characterized the pipeline’s economic benefits as inflated. “When you compare them to the risk of an oil spill and

the billions of dollars that cleanup would cost and the cost to our economy in B.C. … the benefits that they’re talking about don’t stack up at all.” Edmonds emphasized that there are still seven months to go to a final approval. “We knew that right from the very beginning (the NEB) were going to approve it,” she said. “We haven’t lost yet.” Discussing proposed public hearings on the pipeline, Edmonds had three words of advice for her fellow environmentalists: “Pack the hearings,” she said.

Common behaviour

t’s not what most Canadians think of when they hear the words “bench clearing.” But the allegations are that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “manhandled” a Conservative MP and elbowed an NDP MP in the House of Commons Wednesday. We turned to social media and CPAC video and found ourselves watching the donnybrook in slow-mo replay like NHL referees reviewing a challenged play. Almost all agree the elbowing was unintentional – but also that it never should have happened in the first place. Justin Trudeau apologized, and rightly so. We don’t need a display of his wellknown pugilistic talents in the House. It was an embarrassing and distinctly unparliamentary moment. Following the Westminster tradition, the government and Opposition benches

in Parliament are 3.96 metres apart – said to be two sword lengths – the idea being the two sides will debate the issues of the day without ever resorting to violence. Of course, if we’re entirely fixated on the bad behaviour of the PM, we’re missing the bigger picture of what happened in this sorry display. At issue was the Liberals’ controversial legislation on doctor-assisted dying. It deserves a full debate – something the Liberals had tried to limit. And the NDP appeared to be obstructing a Conservative MP from returning to his seat to stall a vote. Perhaps if all parties showed a little more respect for democracy, stunts like this wouldn’t escalate in the first place. In the meantime, we advise JT to take a deep breath, remain in his seat and get on with the serious business of the nation.

Time to rally on ludicrous waterfront plan

t’s the classic solution looking for a problem. There is nothing wrong with Ambleside beach that West Vancouver town hall can’t screw up, permanently, irrevocably – starting with the core surrender of delightful Argyle Avenue to the Spirit Trail bicycle lobby and its enablers. To appease the politically correct bikers and hikers, West Van bureaucrats plot destruction of the Silk Purse, Music Box and Lawson arts buildings – claiming they’re threatened by (rare) high tides, ludicrous in the case of the Lawson – and insanely prohibiting motorized traffic and precious parking on Argyle Avenue.

On the contrary, ripping out parking spaces on Argyle’s 1300-1500 blocks would hurt Ambleside’s struggling businesses. Duh!

Should alcohol be sold at the beach? The City of Vancouver is considering letting beachgoers have suds in the sand this summer. While a beer on the beach sounds refreshing, the prospect of sloshed swimmers is offputting. Liquid confidence might be OK on Facebook, but it’s troubling when we consider the risk of drowning. Would you like to see bartenders on the beach, or is it a bad idea to let people work on their glow while they work on their tan? — Jeremy Shepherd

“It’s OK to sell as long as it’s well supervised.”

“No. There’s a time and place for everything. They can (drink) at home or elsewhere, they don’t need a public spot.”

Pedestrians, cyclists face confusing mix of traffic rules Dear Editor: Sunday, May 1 was a glorious day and families were out and about enjoying the weather. We were happily walking our dog at Ambleside when a close call happened. A family of five, cycling eastbound on Argyle Avenue at 14th Street, nearly had a nasty collision with a car, when their son cycled into the path of the oncoming vehicle. Fortunately, the driver was cautious and the boy was not hit. The point of this is that while cars travelling along Argyle between 13th and 15th streets must travel one

Jonathan Wilkinson

way (west), cyclists seem to think they can travel in both directions. If this is true, and currently there are no signs that say otherwise, this has the potential to cause accidents. Firstly, there are drivers backing out of parking stalls looking east to see if there is any oncoming traffic, they are not necessarily looking to see if cyclists are coming from the west. Pedestrians walk both ways, which may be the saving grace for cyclists, but they can and do stop. Secondly, the current road is narrow and so on a sunny day there can be a lot of

congestion. If pedestrians are expecting the road to be one way, it comes as a bit of a shock to find cyclists coming in the opposite direction. May I respectfully request that the District of West Vancouver makes a decision as to whether cyclists must obey the motoring rule on that street which is one way, or permit cyclists to travel as pedestrians, in which case look to provide a cycle lane. This might help all parties, pedestrians, cyclists and motorists alike Anne Savill North Vancouver

SOCIALMEDIA NSN STORY: WV Owners Chop Trees to Beat Bylaw (April 22) Carl Linnaeus: When did the city become the expert on what people should do with their greenery and landscaping? We should all take pause before we tell people what to do within the confines of the expensive urban land they own. While I agree with the conservation of trees, I don’t agree that the city has any mandate to enforce the preservation of them on people’s house lots. I hope those that made this bylaw reconsider or get chopped down the next election. Instead, I suggest they crack down on owners that let their shrubberies overgrow half of the sidewalk in front of their houses

Note to reader: A group of North Vancouver friends have made it their good-natured mission to ensure I do not become too “Ottawized” while serving as your representative in our nation’s capital. Recently, I was heard saying to a member of this group, “I did an SO31 before QP on Don Mavinic.” My friend’s bafﬂed gaze conveyed that I had inadvertently lapsed into a foreign tongue known as Ottawa Babel. It’s a mysterious language of countless acronyms, abbreviations and made-up words. My initial immersion was disorienting - like your ﬁrst visit to Starbucks where people are speaking in tongues yet somehow manage to get their coffee. But you get the hang of it. Trouble is it’s not particularly helpful outside of the Ottawa bubble. So please permit me to translate “I did an SO31 before QP on Don Mavinic” because it relates to what this column is about. “SO31” is parliamentary shorthand for Standing Order 31 of the House of Commons procedural rules that allows MP’s to rise before Question Period (QP) to make a one minute statement on just about anything they want. Dr. Don Mavinic is a North Vancouver resident and a world-renowned waste water treatment expert who just won a prestigious Gold Medal Award from Engineers Canada. As I stood in the House recently to recognize Don’s achievement and have it recorded in Hansard, I thought his story of achievement would make a great focus for a column about innovation. So here it is.

North Vancouver’s Innovation Inspiration It’s often said that innovation is the key to Canada’s future competitiveness and economic growth. If that’s true, then the future holds some challenges. The World Economic Forum ranks Canada at just 26th for business innovation. Canada remains near the bottom of its peer group on innovation, ranking 13th among the 16 countries tracked by the Conference Board of Canada. The Conference Board deﬁnes innovation as a process through which economic or social value is extracted from knowledge—through the creating, diffusing, and transforming of ideas—to produce new or improved products, services, processes, strategies, or capabilities. Countries and provinces with robust and successful innovation activity see improvements in productivity, economic growth, and job creation and have more resources available to support spending in education, health, infrastructure, and other areas.

Incredibly complex Enhancing innovation from a policy perspective is complex. I’ve been spending a considerable amount of time with my colleagues in Ottawa helping to develop this government’s innovation agenda. An effective innovation agenda is critical if Canada is to sustain and grow its prosperity as a nation. The good news is innovation is part of our national DNA. It was innovation that carved this country out of the wilderness into the social, cultural and economic envy of the world that it is today. Which brings me to Don Mavinic and all the Don Mavinics out there. Because their stories provide the inspiration and

the example that Canada, with focus and determination, can be a worldleader in an ever more innovation-based global economy. Don’s a civil engineering professor at UBC who decided to take on a signiﬁcant environmental challenge: marine dead zones caused by phosphorus pollution from run-off and sewage treatment. An inventive invention Don’s team invented a system that extracts phosphorus from sewage and transforms it back into valuable fertilizer. The road from invention to commercialization was not easy but they eventually succeeded. Vancouverheadquartered Ostara Nutrient Recovery now sells the technology around the world. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is on the Ostara board of directors: “This technology provides an elegant solution that beneﬁts the environment at all stages, and truly exhibits the new shift that we are seeing towards closed looped and sustainable technologies.” So I asked Don Mavinic for his best advice on this subject: “Have faith in what you are doing and believe in. Do NOT be discouraged by temporary setbacks. And all stakeholders MUST be patient and be prepared to invest for the long term success.” In recognition of his award, what say we give Don Mavinic the last word: “Canada is way too risk-adverse compared to other countries. To be an innovation leader we need to be bold.” Sponsored by the Electoral District Association of North Vancouver, Liberal Party of Canada.

NOTICE TO THE RESIDENTS OF LIONS BAY RE: PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF RURAL AGENCY STORE The Liquor Distribution Branch invites community input on a request to establish a Rural Agency Store (RAS) at Lions Bay General Store & Cafe in the community of Lions Bay. The intent of a RAS is to provide liquor service in rural communities and tourist destination resorts, in order to give people in these communities better, more convenient access to beverage alcohol products. RAS’s are established in rural communities where it is too small to operate a Government Liquor Store. RAS’s will be established, where there is a suitable business i.e. an existing independently-owned full service general grocery store. Only one Rural Agency Store authorization in a community is permitted. Written comments will be accepted until June 6, 2016. Your submissions may be used by the LDB in the decision process.

A BRIDGE TOO FAR GONE Demolition workers begin disassembling the 70-yearold Keith Road bridge after it was lifted out of its original position and placed at the side of the road. The District of North Vancouver has reduced Keith Road to single-lane alternating traffic at Mountain Highway between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. while the old bridge is cut apart and removed. That is expected to last until mid-next week. Once it is removed, construction work will begin on the remainder of the new bridge, which will ultimately have five lanes plus wider sidewalks and bike paths. The project is expected to be completed in the fall. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH

Rescuers pluck two hikers from cliff near Howe Sound Crest Trail

North Shore Rescue is again warning hikers not to expect an easy helicopter ride home if they go into the bush unprepared. A group of Richmond hikers wound up scattered in treacherous terrain on Saturday evening when they strayed from the Howe Sound Crest Trail near St. Mark’s Summit. The group split up and two young men found themselves stranded on a cliff band. With dwindling daylight,

the team called in helicopter support. “These guys were wearing runners, tank tops and shorts. They didn’t have any extra clothing or equipment with them so they weren’t well prepared for that hike at this time of year,” said team leader Mike Danks. Volunteers long-lined the men back to the Cypress Bowl parking lot but Danks said he was tempted to make the men walk out, escorted by rescue team members.

On Monday night, the team walked a young man and woman off Mount Seymour after they lost the Mystery Lake trail in the clouds. Danks said the couple, who were also not well prepared, were smart to call for help and stay put, despite being “really, really close” to the chairlift. Danks sent in a team to help so the couple wouldn’t get stuck overnight without any means of communication. –Brent Richter

Coastal City Ballet presents the Canadian premiere of choreographer Irene Schneider’s interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake at the Vancouver Playhouse tomorrow night.

Dancer Lucila Munaretto makes every moment count in Swan Lake

Rite of passage ! Coastal City Ballet, Swan Lake, May 21, 8 p.m. at the Vancouver Playhouse, 600 Hamilton St., Vancouver. Tickets: $25-$45 at vtixonline.com.

Last summer, Lions Gate Hospital became somewhat of a second home for Li Yaming.

The artistic director of Coastal City Ballet, and the whole company for that matter, were frequent visitors of Argentinian dancer Lucila Munaretto, who was hit by a vehicle while roller

skating in Upper Lonsdale in August. The serious accident left the promising young ballerina with shattered bones, including her jaw and pelvis, and she spent two weeks in a medically induced coma to ease the swelling in her brain. At the time, Yaming never thought Munaretto would be able to dance again. But, despite her severe injuries, she made rapid progress with her recovery and returned to the stage, albeit in a small role, to dance in a holiday show just four months after her accident. This weekend, Munaretto is excited to be performing in front of an audience once again. The 21-year-old landed a character role in Coastal City Ballet’s production of Swan Lake, which runs May 21 at the Vancouver Playhouse and June 10 at the Surrey Arts Centre. “For us it’s a miracle,” Yaming says.

Russian composer Pytor Tchaikovsky’s 1876 work is perhaps one of the best-known classical ballets of all time. In Coastal City’s full-length production, created by German choreographer Irene Schneider, Prince Siegfried dreams of his true love, Odette (the white swan), but in reality is faced with the prospect of an arranged marriage to Odile (the black swan). In an email interview, Munaretto says the intensive rehearsals have been challenging, but she’s thrilled to have a small role in the show. “It is the dream of almost every dancer to perform Swan Lake, and of course it was not different for me,” she writes.

J.G.BALLARD’SHIGH-RISE The fourth book in J.G. Ballard’s quartet of dystopian noir – following in quick succession The Atrocity Exhibition (1970), Crash (1973) and Concrete Island (1974) – has finally been made into a movie by U.K. director Ben Wheatley. Producer Jeremy Thomas (who made Crash with David Cronenberg) and director Nicolas Roeg (Performance, The Man Who Fell to Earth) were originally eyeing Ballard’s classic for the screen shortly after it came out in 1975. Joy Division’s Ian Curtis was a big fan of Ballard’s books. High-Rise, starring Tom Hiddleston, Sienna Miller and Luke Evans, opens tonight at Vancity Theatre.

Sound BARNBURNER Barney Bentall and the Legendary Hearts, Odds, Tom Taylor (from She Stole My Beer) and special guests perform at The Pipe Shop on the North Vancouver waterfront on Thursday, May 26 at 6:30 p.m. All proceeds go towards building a new Youth Mental Health Unit at Lions Gate Hospital’s Hope Centre. The new unit, called The Jack and Leone Carlile Centre, will be the first Youth Concurrent Disorders Unit in British Columbia and will address a critical gap in care for 13-to-18 year olds facing mental health and substance use challenges.

Dancer getting chance EDGEMONT VILLAGE to correct her ‘cheats’ From page 13 “Now that I am having the chance to relearn everything I am just learning Swan Lake the best way possible and it just makes me happy every time that I even think about it.” Practising for the show has been a form of physiotherapy for her, she adds, and since returning to the studio, much of the pain associated with her injuries has subsided. Looking back, she says her accident was a blessing because it has allowed her to see every moment as unique. And when it comes to dance, she’s been learning the movements anew and correcting any “cheats” she may have been guilty of in the past. Yaming says Swan Lake is often considered a rite of passage that all young dancers must perform before entering the world of professional ballet. He began his dance career in China and estimates he performed Swan Lake some 200 times over the course of five years. It’s a demanding piece, he says, particularly for the two dozen swan dancers who are on stage for much of the two-hour show and must maintain perfect synchronized formation during the famous group dance in the second act. Saturday’s performance will mark the Canadian premiere of Irene Schneider’s Swan Lake. Her first commission for Coastal City

Swan Lake remains intact, Yaming says the costuming and storyline will be more relatable to modern-day audiences. “Our version is a little bit more contemporary,” he says. For more on Lucila Munaretto go to nsnews.com/ entertainment/search-results7.6424?q=lucila+munaretto.

tough, because the band was built on the chemistry of the initial five people,” McBean admits. “It was depressing to not play together anymore, but for him, he’s always wanted to front a band and write the songs.” Wryly, the frontman adds, “Not everyone can be in a van together for seven years.” Once the band members reconvened, they worked gradually, drawing together material from an assortment of sources: Webber penned the psych-folk dirge “Line Them All Up,” and McBean transformed a live Pink Mountaintops cut into the looming electro-rock scorcher “You Can Dream.” Eight-and-ahalf-minute opener “Mothers of the Sun” was based on an unreleased cut from their archives, and it features one of their heaviest, ‘70s-inspired hard rock licks. “We all knew we didn’t want to lose that riff,

another record,” singerguitarist Stephen McBean offers in regards to the long span between albums. “I think the time away was good. Less pressure. Finding everyone’s strengths and weaknesses.” During the break, all of the members kept busy with side projects. McBean bounced between a handful of stylistically varied bands while living in Los Angeles (quirky rock with Pink Mountaintops, hardcore with Obliterations, self-described “death folk” with Grim Tower). Singer Amber Webber teamed up with Wells for an electronic pop album as Lightning Dust, and she launched the folk project Kodiak Deathbeds. Keyboardist Jeremy Schmidt released a synth soundtrack as Sinoia Caves. Longtime bassist Matthew Camirand left the group and has since been replaced by Colin Cowan. “The thing with Matt was

especially as we get older and softer,” McBean says with a self-deprecating laugh, crediting Schmidt with resuscitating the song during a Sinoia Caves performance. The keyboardist explains, “The riffs dry up. It was my way of trying to trick the band into looking at that song again because I didn’t want it to go to waste.” Recording sessions took place at Avast! studio in Seattle with returning producer Randall Dunn, with additional tracking done at Black Mountain’s local Balloon Factory space. IV’s title was an easy choice: not only is it the band’s fourth album, it’s a tribute to similarly titled LPs by Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and the Stranglers. “And Beyoncé,” adds Webber. “I just put that together the other day.” With IV out now, the collaborators have booked an extensive tour of Europe and North America that will keep them on the road until at least July. “It’s exciting to go on tour with a new record, because we’d done a lot of touring,” McBean enthuses. “We could tour for a bunch more years without a new record, probably, but then you run the risk of — what is it, ‘heritage act’?” This comment provokes elicits chuckles from the bandmates around the table. “Red Robinson showroom, here we come,” Schmidt jokes, referring to the Hard Rock Casino’s theatre. “We laugh about it now, but it’s just two years away.” – Alex Hudson writes for our sister paper the Westender.

Queen Mary elementary students, including Deema Tomizeh (left photo) and Ewan Anderson (right), rehearsed with performers Holly Arntzen and Kevin Wright for the Rock to Salish Sea concert at Centennial Theatre on May 19.

Environmental arts project inspires Queen Mary elementary students

Now’s the time to save the Salish Sea JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

Hundreds of tiny hands stretch skyward and turn into fists.

The reason elementary students with faces unmarked by cynicism have adopted the clenched fist salute is twofold: they want their watershed protected and also, it goes with the song. The Rock the Salish Sea tour – a series of concerts in which elementary students join professional musicians in performing songs about preserving the environment – is

the brainchild of singers Kevin Wright and Holly Arntzen. “There’s so much at stake in our inland ocean right now,” Arntzen says. The singer seems as comfortable strumming a mandolin as discussing dropping numbers of salmon in the Strait of Georgia (chinook and coho numbers are one-tenth the levels recorded in previous years, according to the Pacific Salmon Foundation). “Now’s the time, let’s save it!” Arntzen says. Last night’s concert was set to feature 360 singers from Queen Mary elementary

singing along with Arntzen, Wright, bassist Owen Veber and guitarist Arnt Arntzen. The shows are a fusion of music and ecology as well as a marriage of folk and rock, Arntzen explains. “I bring in the Joni Mitchell influence, (Wright) brings in the Bon Scott and we meet somewhere in the middle.” Some of the concerts feature call-and-response portion where Arntzen yells “Water!” and the throng of young voices hollers: “For life!” The kids generally spend months learning the lyrics and corresponding movements

before rehearsing with Arntzen and Wright in the week before the performance. “If you hear them backstage just before the concert, that’s a sustainable source of energy that could run jet engines,” Arntzen laughs. The singer jokes about one day writing a manual entitled How to Work with 400 Kids and Never Have to Say ‘Be Quiet.’ Part of the kids’ cooperation is due to their appreciation of the music, she says. “Kids love rock ‘n’ roll, they just do.”

what you think

Loud music has often represented a chasm between generations and political points of view. In 1956, a Baptist reverend judged Elvis Presley “morally insane.” Last February, a republican congressman declared Beyoncé’s Super Bowl performance “anti-police.” For Arntzen, music is a way to inform the young and inspire the old – or maybe it’s the other way around. “Not only are children learning about nature, they’re sharing and celebrating that knowledge with the adult

members of their families,” she says. “We’re trying to give people many different ways to connect to their children, to their schools, to their communities, to their watersheds.” Much like pop musicians use their concerts to drive fans to consume more, Arntzen uses the stage to push her audience to consume less.

Dress your peepers in fashionable frames

Oversized sunglasses and aviators as popular as ever CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

Fashion trends are famously fleeting, but when it comes to sunglasses and eyeglasses, styles tend to have a bit more staying power.

“Every season there are some things that become more popular,” explains Rozita Taeidi of West Vancouver’s Look Optical. “For example, oversized glasses might become rounder one season, they might become bolder one season, but it doesn’t change too drastically.” Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Look Optical was opened by Rozita’s father, Mike Taeidi, in 1996 at Marine Drive and 15th Street in Ambleside. Mike and his wife are neighbourhood residents and licensed opticians and work at the family-run business with Rozita, who handles the administrative side of things. “I’m a fashion consultant as well,” Mike notes, explaining that people have preferred styles and favourite designers, but also want sunglasses and eyeglasses that suit their face and complexion. For example, someone with a round face might choose narrow frames to create the appearance of wider eyes and a longer face. Fortunately, most popular styles, like the classic aviator, come in a host of colours and sizes so people can still replicate their favourite celebrity

look, with minor variations to suit the individual. Below, Rozita shares some of the eyewear trends she’s noticing for 2016. Made in the shade Oversized sunglasses have been popular for a few years, but recently they’ve taken on a cat-eye shape, creating a look that blends a retro vibe with modern art and global pop culture, Rozita says. “Because they’re oversized, they provide a lot of coverage, and they’re also really stylish because it’s the cat frame.” Meanwhile, gradient-tint lenses are also in vogue. These lenses might be dark brown or dark grey at the brow and transition to a lighter shade toward the cheekbone. “These are really cool because they offer an alternative to classic onecolour tones,” Rozita says. “They’re fun, but they’re not overbearing.” For men, aviator sunglasses, with their signature teardrop-shaped lenses, have been popular for a while and remain in high demand. “The nice thing about aviators is that they work with almost all faces and they come in so many colours,” Rozita says, noting the unisex style is also popular with women. This spring and summer, designer brands like Ray-Ban, Gucci and Prada have released aviators with darker lenses and reflective lenses.

Above, Rozita Taeidi, sporting a pair of semi-rimless eyeglass frames, surveys the collection at Look Optical in Ambleside. At right, aviators come in a range of shapes and colours and continue to be a popular unisex sunglasses style year after year. PHOTOS PAUL MCGRATH Optical flair Semi-rimless optical frames feature a frame at the top of the lens, but not the bottom. This subtle style is popular with women this year, Rozita says. “They have a minimalistic look, they’re really thin, they’re lightweight,” she says,

noting that titanium frames with spring hinges are incredibly flexible and strong. “They just look very clean, effortless. It’s more like a natural, simple look – it’s great for work.” In plastic frames, there’s

plastic-rimmed frames. “It creates this really nice subtle contrast and the combination isn’t overbearing,” Rozita says, explaining these frames appear to be one colour from the front, but reveal a second colour when viewed in profile.

asking people to take your tires to Northshore Tire on May 21 because it gets those tires out of vacant lot and stream beds and off beaches and out of backyards.” Asked about her decision to marry environmentalism with music, Arntzen laughs. “It was a very organic

evolution,” she says. The granddaughter of a fisherman and the former wife of the late scientist and activist Stephen Foster, Arntzen started writing songs with environmental messages in the late 1980s. She regularly absorbed lectures from environmental

activists whose speeches provided some of the content for her songs. These days, Arntzen is trying to spread the word about global warming’s effect on the ocean. While the ocean has only warmed by a tenth of a degree, a recent National

Geographic article suggested even that miniscule change results in stronger storms and higher sea levels, as well as wreaking havoc on coral and thereby jeopardizing barrier reefs. For Arntzen, the great hope is that if she does her job well, more people will

think about how they live and for whom they vote. “We really hope people go away having been touched by the children singing,” she says. “That’s what we, people on land, can do.” The tour continues in Victoria and Campbell River this June.

REVIEW: THE MAN WHO KNEW INFINITY

Formulaic story leaves a black hole ! The Man Who Knew Infinity. Written and directed by Matthew Brown. Starring Dev Patel and Jeremy Irons. Rating: 6 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD Contributing Writer

Following in the footsteps of Oscar-nominated film biographies about Stephen Hawking and Alan Turing comes the untold story of math prodigy Srinivasa Ramanujan, a largely self-taught mathematician who went from poverty in India to a fellowship at Cambridge during the First World War. However, this film’s tooconventional treatment of its extraordinary subject – and lack of emotional focus – equates to less potential for success during awards season and at the box office. Without a degree, Ramanujan (Dev Patel) is more or less unemployable in his native Madras, despite letters of reference and notebooks full of brilliance. He finally gets a job as a lowly clerk who has no need of his abacus, which catches the attention of his boss, the first to encourage him: “You have been alone in your mind your whole life.” Stuffy colonial overseer Stephen Fry recommends an acquaintance at Trinity College. It takes some time before famed professor G.H. Hardy (Jeremy Irons) takes Ramanujan’s letter and sample theories seriously: he initially

Jeremy Irons and Dev Patel star in The Man Who Knew Infinity, Matthew Brown’s biographical drama about mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, based on the 1991 book of the same name by Robert Kanigel. PHOTO SUPPLIED writes them off as a hoax, a prank played by his colleague Littlewood (Toby Jones). But once convinced, Hardy sends for Ramanujan immediately. His new wife (Devika Bhise) is heartbroken but understands: “I was told you love numbers more than you love people.” His mother points out that Brahmins are not permitted to cross the sea. It is 1914. At Cambridge Ramanujan encounters the very tree under which Newton discovered gravity. He also bumps into the insidious racism of the British academic system of the time, not to mention

dietary restrictions and new, uncomfortable shoes to replace his sandals. Most irritating to Ramanujan is the fact that Hardy has him spend all his time attending facile classes and making proofs, the legwork of math, instead of expanding on his theories and realizing his dream of publishing. As letters from home fail to make the ocean journey and the First World War takes hold of the college, things start to fall apart. Jeremy Northam is philosopher/political activist Bertrand Russell, whose quote “Mathematics, rightly viewed,

possesses not only truth but supreme beauty,” introduces the film. Ramanujan is the presumptive hero, but this is Irons’ film. He gets the best lines and the lion’s share of audience interest, from the moment that his character, a confirmed bachelor, calls his collaboration with the young genius “the one romantic incident of my life.” Patel’s character is less fleshed-out, despite having all sorts of variables to deal with, including violence on campus, racial slurs from his professors and fellow students, a crumbling relationship back home and

a strained working partner in Hardy, not to mention a potentially life-threatening condition. Emotionally, Patel barely scratches the surface. Writer-director Matthew Brown keeps it simple, but even those of us who barely skated through high school math are left wanting more explanation of Ramanujan’s influence: a line at the end of the film mentions pioneering theorems about black holes, but his character only hints at patterns and beauty in mathematics and the relationship between equations and god. A little more math magic and less by-the-numbers, please.

BILN, Gurdev (Dave) S. September 24, 1923 − May 17, 2016

Gurdev Singh died peacefully with his family by his side on May 17th at Evergreen House North Vancouver, following a short illness. He was 92 years old, surviving his wife of over 75 years, Swaran Kaur, by 40 days. The last of his birth family, he was predeceased by his parents, sister and three brothers. Also predeceased by his son Kalwant Singh (Bill) Biln in 1998. He is survived by daughters Jessie Maan (Rajindra), Kallie Biln and son Jaswant Singh Biln (Marion). "Naana" will be remembered lovingly by his 10 grandchildren and 15 great−grandchildren. Gurdev was born in the village of Ferozepur, Punjab, India. He was schooled by Moslem scholars in nearby towns and completed 10th grade, which was quite an achievement for a villager in that era. He attained proficiency in Urdu, Hindi, Farsi, Punjabi and English. After marrying in the late 1930’s, Gurdev worked as a bank clerk until moving to Lahore (now Pakistan) in 1945 to oversee the finances and payroll of the Lahore Police Force. An astute businessman, he and Swaran Kaur joined his father in Fiji in 1948 to operate a general store. After the birth of 3 of his children, he and Swaran Kaur returned to India in 1956 and emigrated to Canada in 1959, soon after the birth of son Kalwant. Gurdev worked at various mill towns in the Cariboo and moved to Squamish in 1963 to work at Empire Mills as a lumber grader until his retirement in 1988. After 43 years in Squamish, Mom and Dad moved to North Vancouver in 2008 and were lovingly cared for by Kallie and Jessie. Funeral services will be held at 1PM Sunday, May 22nd at Forest Lawn Funeral Home, 3789 Royal Oak Avenue, Burnaby. A prayer service will be held afterwards at Akali Singh Sikh Temple, 1890 Skeena St, Vancouver. Family and friends can contact Jessie at 604−817−3098 for more information. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to your local food bank. The family thanks Dr. Eric Briscoe and the staff at Evergreen House for their compassionate care of our beloved Naana. www.forestlawn−burnaby.com

DERKSON, Florence Georgina January 8, 1932 − April 10, 2016 In Loving Memory... Born in Prince George, BC, she was the first of eight children in an active rural homestead. The first of her five children was born in 1950, the last in 1967. As well as a mother, she was an employee, volunteer, crafter, gardener, angler, camper and explorer. She and her husband, Stan, were avid outdoors people and explored much of BC. Vancouver Island and the Cariboo were their favourites. Many friends were made in the communities they lived in and the places they went. Always puttering, the sound of her busy hands and humming always meant delicious meals, meticulous crafts and bountiful gardens. Many thanks to the staff at Ridge Meadows Hospital and Greystone Manor who provided tremendous support and comfort during the past year. Mom, you are forever in our hearts!

CLARK, Margaret L. October 12, 1926 − May 10, 2016 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Margaret Lillian Clark (nee Hampton) on May 10, 2016. She will be lovingly remembered by all who knew her, and for her dedication and love for family, friends, community, physical fitness and Mother Nature. Margaret, a lifelong North Van resident, was born on Doran Road in Lynn Valley on October 12, 1926. Her early years were spent at the Hampton family home on 13th Street. She attended Queen Mary School and Sprott Shaw College. She later worked at Paine and Mc & Mc Hardware Stores on Lonsdale. Married to Frederick Arthur Clark in 1949, she moved to Dempsey Road in Lynn Valley where she lived until 2009. During those years, she raised a family and worked as an Avon Lady and at Hudson’s Bay. She leaves a sporting legacy as one of the founding members of the Lynn Valley Women’s Athletic Club, which brought organized softball for women and girls to Lynn Valley. Many will remember her speed and agility on the ball field. She was the first recipient of the Molly George Sportsmanship Trophy. She whizzed to finish first on many hundred yard dashes at the annual Lynn Valley Day field events. Her sporting life continued into her 70’s as she continued to play softball and attend aquasize classes at the local pools.

GOUWS, Rev. John Colchester July 19th, 1935 - May 7th, 2016

Our beloved John passed peacefully with his wife Joan and son Mark by his side at the Victoria General Hospital on May 7th, 2016 after a long and brave struggle fighting the complications caused by a severe spinal cord injury. John is fondly remembered by his loving Canadian and South African family and many devoted friends. Sadly, John was predeceased by his beloved daughter Bronwen and nephew Greg Hobson. John gave us his unconditional love and will forever be remembered for his caring nature and captivating smile. He was an adoring husband, father and friend. As a man with a deep and enduring faith, he compassionately served his church and community since he began his ministry in 1965. John was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa in 1935 and immigrated to West Vancouver in 1979. Here, he served first as a minister at St. David’s United Church and then West Vancouver United Church. He retired in 2000 as lead minister and continued his service as Minister Emeritus. A celebration of John’s life will be held at the West Vancouver United Church on May 28th, 2016 at 2:00pm, 2062 Esquimalt Avenue, West Vancouver, BC, V7V 1S4. A reception will be held in the church hall immediately following the service. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the West Vancouver United Church or a charity of your choosing. To write a condolence to the family please visit mckenziefuneralservices.com.

Margaret loved being outdoors, whether at beaches, fishing, biking or gardening. Many happy family holidays were spent camping at Rebecca Spit on Quadra Island. She inspired us all to keep active and live life to the fullest. Margaret treasured the many good friends she made over the years in the neighbourhood, on the ball field, at the pool and through her work. Her greatest pleasures in later years were visiting her daughters’ homes, and sharing special times with grandchildren and great grandchildren. Margaret will forever be in our hearts. She leaves behind two daughters: Joan (Don, Wayne) and Laurie (Paul), four grandchildren: Leanne (Jerry), David (Jessica), Melanie and Adam, and two great grandchildren: Kiana and Kaiden. She also leaves two brothers (Frank and David), a brother−in−law, Ron McLeod, and many nieces, nephews, and dear friends.

HARRIS, Marilyn Beth (Frew) January 5th, 1938 - April 18th, 2016 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our wonderful Mother, Nana, cousin, and dear friend, Marilyn Harris. Marilyn was born and raised in Vancouver and graduated from Kitsilano Secondary School. She spent her early adult years working for Air Canada, and later for the West Vancouver School Board. Marilyn raised her family in Eagle Harbour. Over the past 28 years, Marilyn called Bowen Island her home, living most of the years with her partner Al Davidson. Marilyn is remembered for her generous heart and giving nature, her love for fun and laughter, energetic enthusiasm and dedication to volunteering and compassion for others. Her other passions include knitting, sewing, cooking, sports, singing and music. Marilyn was an amazing mother and nana, she loved children and her many pets. Marilyn is survived by her son Bruce, daughter Sandra (Geordie), granddaughter Paige, cousins, family dog Nellie, and pre-deceased by her son Scott. Marilyn is also survived by an extraordinary wide circle of close loving friends. You will be forever in our hearts Mom! A Memorial service and Celebration of Life will be held at the Bowen Island United Church on June 5th at 2:00 p.m. with reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society or charity of choice.

The Toyota Corolla has long been known as a reliable car that is high on functionality and efficiency but low on style and excitement. The 2016 model, however, lets loose a little bit, retaining the old reliability while adding in an upgraded look that elevates it above boring, inside and out. It is available at Jim Pattison Toyota in the Northshore Auto Mall. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH

Reliable Corolla loosens up a bit Are you a reliable friend, or a fun friend?

Grinding Gears Brendan McAleer

There’s often not too much of an overlap there – the guy who likes to wear a lampshade on his head at parties is likely going to forget to pick you up from the airport late at night. Usually, when you really need something to get done, you need your boring accountant friend to do it for you. For a large percentage of

its life, the Toyota Corolla has been most emphatically the second kind of friend. A Corolla with the four-speed automatic in beige was pretty much the pleated khakis of automobiles. Functional, but not very stylish. Efficient, but not much fun. Dependable, but not exciting. However, the S designation on the back of this Corolla is here to change

your mind about what a Toyota can offer. The colour palate is brighter, there are 17-inch alloys on display, the styling is sharp enough to stand out, and there are even rumours of sportier handling. A party animal that’s also reliable? Can it be true? Let’s check it out. DESIGN Where once the Corolla

faded into the background, it now stands out. Well, sort of. The average car on the road these days looks insanely aggressive. Traffic is beginning to look like a Salvador Dali interpretation of Richard Scarry’s Busytown. As a result, the Corolla’s new edgier look is merely keeping pace with the competition. And it does: the baby-Camry silhouette

works well here, and while the large faux front grille isn’t too over the top, it’s a lot better than the Prius’s new catfish face or the Yaris’s weird lucha libre mask. The 17-inch alloys are part of the Corolla’s Technology package and really set the car off. They also show some of Toyota’s

Unique keepsake from Rolls-Royce

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

LAST PHANTOMS INCLUDE PARTS OF PRODUCTION LINE In a rather clever marketing move, Rolls-Royce has just announced that they’ll be inserting a piece of the actual production line into each of the 50 last Phantoms as they are all built. Each of the socalled Zenith Phantoms will receive a chunk of metal in the dashboard which will be numbered and laserengraved and encased in aluminium. The word bespoke is used about 78 times in the press release. From a collectability standpoint, this is a smart move by Rolls. Their wellheeled clientele may now rest assured that their last-of-breed cars will not be replicated. Odds are the next Phantom will have some kind of turbocharged engine too, so maybe there’s a case to be made that these things will hold their eye-watering price tags. But I really don’t think they will. An old Rolls-Royce is a classic, and represents rolling artwork that may be

Braking News Brendan McAleer restored to its former glory. A new Rolls-Royce is a consumable, filled with miles of electronic wiring harnesses and dozens of electrical components all waiting to fizzle out. Also, the Phantom is a bit of an imposing lump of a thing. A colleague memorably noted that it looks like Oswald Mosley commissioned BMW to come up with a staff car for the British Fascist Party. So sure, package up the factory if you want to and line it with walnut burls and polished geegaws. I’d rather have the 1930s version and a butler. NISSAN ABSORBS ONETHIRD OF MITSUBISHI The global fuel-economy falsifying crisis claimed

The last 50 Rolls-Royce Phantoms ever built, known as the Zenith models, will include many quirky luxury touches such as a chunk of metal from the actual production line laser-engraved with an identification number. PHOTOS SUPPLIED ROLLS-ROYCE another victim this week after Mitsubishi admitted to fudging their mileage numbers. Actually, what am I saying: we’re the victims here, not the auto companies. If they’re damaged by

their malfeasance, then too flippin’ bad. Nissan was quick to swoop in as Mitsu’s stock dived, buying up 34 per cent of the stricken Japanese company’s shares. The two

companies already have a strong history of co-operation, with Mitsubishi already supplying several Nissanbadged cars in the European markets. So, while this doesn’t

mean that you soon won’t be able to buy a Mirage any more, it does perhaps mean that there’ll be more overlap between the two brands.

Roomy, cushy back seat Corolla’s trump card From page 35

genius here, in that it’s a single upgrade to a basic car that includes almost everything you could want without breaking the bank. Seventeen inches is a good size for a rim too; you can get 18s from the competition for a more aggressive look, but the bigger diameter rims come with a rougher ride and higher tire replacement costs. ENVIRONMENT Let’s start in the back seat, as this is the Corolla’s trump card. Much roomier and cushier than the competition, this is the kind of space you used to get from a Camry not so long ago. Add in a stroller-swallowing 340 litres of trunk space, and the Corolla isn’t just the friend that picks you up from the airport, it’s the friend that’ll help you move. That’s a good friend. Up front, driver and passenger are rewarded with comfortable seats that are excellent on longer road trips, and a wealth of available features (which you’d kind of expect, this being the tech package). Toyota’s touchscreen-based infotainment is rapid enough, yet

also simpler to use than competing systems. Also likable was the ability to customize the home screen to show the icons you use most often. Simple and easy. And considering this is a Corolla, it’s pretty nice in here. If you grew up remembering the horrible mouse-fur surface of a beige seat, the current car’s Softex leather and fake dash stitching are huge leaps forward. This doesn’t look like the kind of car you buy from an entirely pragmatic sense, but because there’s actually a twinge of emotion here.

PERFORMANCE However, at least on paper, there’s little to be emotional about from the Corolla’s powertrain. While the competition offers dual-clutch transmissions and powerplants that rely on high compression or turbocharging for pizzazz, the Corolla gets a continuously variable transmission and a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine making 132 horsepower and 128 foot-pounds of torque. We are officially in the section of the grocery aisle that sells cottage cheese and oatmeal and low-fat

Corolla great for long road trips From page 37

mayonnaise-type-dressing. Sensible country. Still, pop the shifter in D and roll off the line and the Corolla S responds with respectable acceleration. If you’re tackling an onramp, there’s a sense that power is adequate rather than fulsome, but only a gearhead will find much to complain about. Toyota even panders to that demographic a bit by offering a six-speed manual transmission. Once on the move, the real surprise is how balanced the Corolla is through some rolling corners. It’s not a car that encourages pace, the way a Mazda3 feels a bit like a four-doored Miata, but it’s perfectly composed and competent.

The steering wheel is nicely weighted and utterly lacking in feel: this is something we now say about the 3 Series BMW, so maybe we can overlook the numb helm on a compact Toyota. With well-controlled body roll and the CVT’s tendency to keep revs low, the Corolla encourages a sane and sensible pace without the driver having to slow for the sweeping corners. The sense is that this’d be an excellent road trip car, economical and comfortable but not boring.

FEATURES Adding $3,915 for a total of $24,680 before freight and tax, the Corolla’s technology package adds 17-inch

Real-life driving nails economy targets

From page 38

alloys, navigation, a power driver’s seat, semileather seats, a power moonroof, automatic air conditioning, keyless entry, and a push-button starter. That’s good value. Official fuel economy figures for the fourcylinder and CVT are 6.2 (litres/100 kilometres) on the highway and 8.2 city. Good news here: the Corolla relentlessly hits its economy targets in mixed use driving. Granted, it encourages a relaxed driving style, but you can’t argue with good real-world mileage. GREEN LIGHT Dependable, comfortable, and efficient; upgraded look inside and out; delivers on its promises. STOP SIGN No high-tech safety features; powertrain delivers mileage results, not thrills. THE CHECKERED FLAG They’ve done it! A non-boring Corolla!

Competition HONDA CIVIC ($16,155) Offering a bit more style and a bit more zip from available turbocharged engines, the Civic promises more choice for Canadians. They also make a coupe version, if you’re not quite ready to settle for four-doored responsibility. Still a bestseller, the Civic takes a proven performance record and tries to shake things up with new technology. The Corolla’s triedand-tested approach may seem less exciting on paper, but still offers plenty of what buyers are after.

Aggressive styling is all the rage these days, and the Corolla has joined the growling masses without adding too much anger to the design. Things are much cushier inside with big, comfy seats that set the Toyota apart from the competition. PHOTOS PAUL MCGRATH

New bike alarm gives would-be thieves a blast From page 36

Maybe the new Mirage will actually be a decontented Versa, and the Rogue will get Mitsu’s excellent all-wheeldrive system. We shall see. HYUNDAI BUILDS ALIENSSTYLE EXOSKELETON In Korea, factory workers are expected to be punctual, hard-working, polite, and capable of fighting off a Xenomorph invasion. OK, maybe the last is a bit of a stretch, but Hyundai

certainly seems to be taking inspiration from the Aliens trilogy of films. They’ve just come up with a functioning robotic exoskeleton, like that used by Sigourney Weaver to fight the big bad Alien Queen. The wearable robot allows workers to lift hundreds of kilograms worth of heavy components, or carry smaller 50-kilogram bits over very long distances. It also makes the wearer look a bit like a low-budget version of Iron Man.

EXPLODING ALARM WARDS OFF THIEVES The car alarm as we know it is a useless annoyance that almost nobody pays attention to any more. If you hear the whooping of a siren or the honking of a horn, chances are you’ll ignore it. A gun going off? Now you’ve got my attention, and my interest. That’s the idea behind Bike Mine, a simple anti-theft device that incorporates a blank shell and a trigger mechanism. Intended to be strapped to a motorcycle

or a bicycle, if a thief sets off Bike Mine, he or she can expect a 150 decibel blast and a cloud of smoke. Given the amount of thievery of bicycles that goes on in the Lower Mainland, widespread acceptance of Bike Mine could soon mean the North Shore could sound a bit like parts of Afghanistan. Still, if you’ve ever had your bike stolen, the idea that an anti-theft device could give a thief a heart attack is a charming one.

Orders racing in for Ford supercar of people are going to be disappointed, but then again, it’s this limited availability that has kept the price of the previous generation GT sky high. Ford returns to Le Mans this year, which is drumming up interest in the car, but let’s compare the GT to the Acura NSX. The GT is manual only, very limited in numbers, and rear-drive only. The NSX is a much more complex all-wheel drive turbocharged hybrid machine, a bit like a budget McLaren. It’s the former that’s getting all the accolades. That’s a shame for Acura, but not surprising. Even if Ford never makes a dime selling their GT, its popularity elevates the whole brand. They’ll sell a lot of Ecoboost Mustangs off the back of this thing.
