RESCUE

Lost hiker plucked from WV cliff face JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

A 30-kilometre stroll through the North Shore backcountry turned dangerous Wednesday afternoon when a hiker needed to be rappelled out of a gorge by North Shore Rescue.

The hiker, a San Diego woman in her mid-20s, was attempting to trek from Cypress Mountain to Deeks Lake when she lost the trail in the snow.

“She was not prepared for snow at all,” said North Shore Rescue team leader Mike Danks.

With no GPS and limited knowledge of the Howe Sound Crest Trail, the lost hiker sought safety by sliding down a cliff face.

“She actually wore her pants out on the left side,” Danks noted.

WEST VANCOUVER: TRANSIT TROUBLES

Loss of bus stops a hardship for seniors

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

A West Vancouver senior says she and others with mobility challenges are being left behind as TransLink cuts several stops from its bus routes.

The transit authority is planning to eliminate the last three stops on the 257 express route in Horseshoe Bay prior to the B.C. Ferries terminal, including the accessible stop outside Libby Lodge, a seniors’ residence on Nelson Avenue.

Wheelchair-bound Libby Lodge residents impacted by changes “There are a lot of people in this building with medical issues. They’re on disability pensions. They’re in wheelchairs – I’m in a wheelchair – and they’re incapable of walking that distance from the ferry terminal to here,” said Pamela Best, a 17-year resident of Libby Lodge. “It’s the

whole width of Horseshoe Bay. It’s right from one side to the other.”

TransLink arrived at the decision to cut the Horseshoe Bay stops, as well as several others downtown, at the Lions Gate Bridge and in Ambleside after conducting its Transit Network Review 2015.

The only alternative would be to take the 250 along Marine Drive, which is much slower and subject to delays

Tax breaks on tap for microbrews Provincial mark ups cut to help craft breweries

JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

A Richmond man accused of first-degree murder in connection with a man found dead in North Vancouver Sept. 28 has been denied bail by a B.C. Supreme Court justice.

Hops are up and taxes are down for craft breweries this summer.

With every litre of suds sold in B.C., most microbreweries pay 55 cents to the province’s Liquor Distribution Branch, but that levy will drop to 40 cents as of July 3.

The 27 per cent savings could add up to $5,000 a month, according to Deep Cove Brewers and Distillers founder Shae de Jaray.

“It’s going to give the smaller guys a little more breathing room,” he said.

Most mid-size brewers ferment about 3,500 hectolitres (350,000 litres) of beer annually, according to de Jaray.

“You multiply that by a savings of 15 cents a litre, you’re going to come up with a pretty nice looking number,” he said.

While calling the move, “a plus for all of us,” Black Kettle president Bryan Lockhart said the extra money – which he guessed might add up to $25,000 a year – wouldn’t allow his brewery to make any new hires or drop prices.

“You have to keep your margin,” he explained from his Copping Street location.

“There’s a constant increase in (the price of) raw goods.”

Black Kettle is one of 64 breweries to open its taps in B.C. since 2010. A reason for the rising tide of foam in the beginning may have been near parity with U.S. currency, Lockhart said.

But now, “Even with that 27 per cent helper, it doesn’t bring us back to where we

North Vancouver-Lonsdale MLA Naomi Yamamoto gets a tour of Bridge Brewing from owner Leigh Stratton following a provincial announcement about tax relief for craft breweries. The break could give small breweries a better chance to meet the rising demand for craft beer, according to author and lager-head Joe Wiebe. PHOTO KEVIN HILL were (before the Canadian dollar dropped),” he said.

“We get killed on the dollar.”

Just about all the company’s raw goods, from hops to bottles, are bought in U.S. dollars, Lockhart said.

The change in provincial mark-ups could mean B.C.’s purveyors of craft pints have a better chance of capitalizing on rising demand, according to Joe Wiebe, the author of Craft Beer Revolution: The Insider’s Guide to B.C. Breweries.

The mark-up drop also repairs the damage breweries suffered when the province overhauled the wholesale pricing system in 2015, according to Wiebe.

“Despite the success of the industry and high growth, the profit margin … has been very, very slim,” he said.

While some onlookers expressed concerns big beer corporations might scoop up brew boutiques, Wiebe said he didn’t expect many young brewmeisters to cash out.

“This is the pinnacle of what they want to do,” he said.

The close ties of craft breweries to their communities also make them a poor fit for international corporations, according to Wiebe, referring to Bridge Brewing, which boasts offerings like Ambleside Pale Ale and Hopilano IPA.

The author noted that small brewers who have struggled to get their bottles into government shops have benefited from the burgeoning mix of public and private liquor stores in B.C. The 27 per cent mark-up reduction applies to breweries bottling less than 15,000 hectolitres (1.5 million litres) of booze annually. That includes 99 out of B.C.’s 118 small breweries, according to government spokesman Marc Wang.

Bigger craft breweries are in for a bigger break, with their mark-up dropping from $1.02 per litre to 46 cents, according to Wang.

All told, the reduction in

taxes should create another $10 million for the craft beer industry, according to a release from the province.

Asked about a short-term loss of tax revenue, Wang said benefits to the industry mean everything should “come out in the wash.”

Craft breweries have gained ground on big companies in recent years.

While still B.C.’s biggest brewery, Molson Coors Canada saw business drop eight per cent from 2013 to 2014, down to $260 million in sales. Labatt breweries dipped a little more than nine per cent over the same span, according to a report from Business in Vancouver.

WV police warn public after alleged indecent exposure BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

West Vancouver police are warning the public after an elderly man allegedly exposed himself to a teenager.

The 16-year-old was

Bail denied for man in NV murder case

walking on 15th Street at Fulton Avenue around 4 p.m.

Tuesday when the suspect allegedly drove by her slowly in heavy traffic with his pants down, touching his genitals.

The suspect reportedly called out, “Want to join me?”

The teen didn’t respond

and the suspect sped off southbound on 15th. The teen then called police.

Officers sent patrols to the area immediately but could not find the suspect vehicle and the teen did not get the licence plate number.

The teen described the

suspect as being white, in his mid-60s or 70s, with short white hair that was slightly longer in the front. He also had a distinctive pot belly.

At the time, he was wearing a white short-sleeve T-shirt and white and green or blue plaid shorts. He was

driving a newer model Honda or Toyota minivan, police say. Anyone with information on the suspect or the vehicle, or who noticed any suspicious activity in the area is asked to contact West Vancouver police at 604-325-7300.

Tianyi Zhang, 23, is charged with the murder of Peng Sun, a man in his early 20s, whose body was found in North Vancouver Sept.

29 – possibly inside a white Bentley that was the focus of police investigation in the 900-block of Wellington Drive.

A B.C. Supreme Court justice rejected Zhang’s request to be released on bail May 18.

Zhang and another Richmond man, Casey James Hiscoe, 21 – have both been charged with kidnapping Sun between Sept. 27 and 29 in North Vancouver. The two men also face charges of kidnapping Sun with intent to hold him for ransom during the same time period. They also face charges of interfering with a dead body.

The two were among four men who were arrested by police officers when they converged on Wellington Drive around 3 a.m. Sept. 29 in response to an investigation involving several jurisdictions across the Lower Mainland. Zhang has been held in custody since his arrest.

Hiscoe has been released on $25,000 bail and must abide by conditions that include living with his mother in Richmond, obeying a house arrest curfew and handing over his passport to authorities.

Charges against the two other men arrested were later dropped.

Few details have been released about the case, including whether there is a connection between Sun and any of the accused.

A preliminary hearing – held to determine if there is enough evidence for a trial – is scheduled for December in North Vancouver provincial court.

TRANSIT: IMPASSE CONTINUES

Dueling plans to fund TransLink still far apart BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

The province and the Lower Mainland’s mayors are continuing to pitch ideas to end the TransLink funding impasse and get access to millions in time-limited federal transit infrastructure funding.

The newly elected federal Liberal government has pledged to fund up to 50 per cent of costs on transit projects. But the province and mayors don’t appear to be much closer on how to fund TransLink than they were in the wake of the 2015 failed .5-per cent sales tax plebiscite.

The Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation and Peter Fassbender, the minister responsible for TransLink, issued dueling press releases on Thursday.

The mayors’ new proposal to raise TransLink’s 17-per cent share of the $7.5-billion, 10-year transportation plan includes a two-per cent transit fare increase in 2018 plus additional revenue from expanded service, selling off surplus TransLink properties, a new regional development cost charge paid by developers at a “fair, affordable rate” bringing in $15 to $20 million annually, an average $3-per-household increase in property taxes, a $400-million

portion of the region’s gas tax over 10 years, and the introduction of some form of tolls for drivers by 2021 to support road and bridge improvement projects. In exchange, the province is being asked to return control over TransLink to the mayors plus $50 million in the provincial carbon tax from outside the region.

Fassbender’s release suggested the mayors address both affordable housing and transit funding by ushering in development along transit hubs and capturing some of the increase in land value from developers.

“We believe public transit investment leads to increased property values near stations and that the public should share in the rise in property values through increased support for transit and affordable housing options,” Fassbender stated in the release.

The lack of common ground between the two plans doesn’t bode well, according to District of North Vancouver Mayor Richard Walton, who was among a group of five mayors who developed the new plan and submitted it to the province more than a month ago.

“I think the intent was that there be significant negotiations… with the minister. I think it’s safe to say the negotiations didn’t really happen,”

he said. “We’re disappointed that what we thought would be constructive meetings talking about the detailed contents of our letter has not been responded in the manner we hoped.”

The combination of different funding mechanisms was meant to “spread the pain” and not penalize one region or group of people more than any other, Walton said.

“The information feedback I’ve seen on the North Shore is that our residents are a little bit more resilient than most of the regions of Metro Vancouver in terms of which source or sources of funding are used. I think the theme on the North Shore is ‘We just need to get it done,’” he said.

The mayors would likely be open to using more density to help fund transit, Walton said, but it would be limited to areas with rapid transit already in the works.

And cities already negotiate with developers to fund amenities and upgrades to infrastructure, he added.

As for putting the mayors back in charge of TransLink, Walton said that change doesn’t appear to be on the table.

“I spoke with the minister yesterday and he didn’t indicate any particular shift in the governance structure that exists there now,” he said.

Request to keep stops fell on deaf ears: WV mayor From page 1 thanks to construction, traffic and cyclists on the narrow, winding route, Best said, making it much harder to connect with other buses headed to Lions Gate Hospital or Vancouver General Hospital.

“It can be a real nightmare. You miss the connection to the 255,” she said.

TransLink did not respond to a request for comment by the North Shore News deadline Thursday but a letter sent to Best responding to her grievances said the change will benefit the majority of 257 riders who want to connect with a ferry.

“Given our funding situation, we are doing our best to meet growing demand within current resources – this requires difficult choices throughout the region.

We will implement the 257 change as proposed as it will yield travel time and reliability benefits for the majority of customers. We realize that this has local impacts to you and your neighbours and I assure you we have not made the decision lightly.

We will be monitoring the situation through ridership analysis, TransLink customer feedback and through the feedback that West Vancouver receives,” it read.

In light of the lack of progress, Best questioned the value of West Vancouver having its own Blue Bus contract service.

Pamela Best says a decision to cut stops in Horseshoe Bay will hurt residents of Libby Lodge. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH “What responsibility are they taking? I’ve been fighting with West Van transit over various things for 15 years,” she said.

West Vancouver Mayor Michael Smith said he personally lobbied TransLink to keep the Horseshoe Bay stops but had no luck convincing them.

“I wrote last October a personal letter to the acting president (of TransLink) saying we were very concerned.

We were opposed to the

changes. And TransLink, in their wisdom, chose to make changes anyway so really there’s nothing, unfortunately, we can do for the residents,” he said.

TransLink did, however, hold off on plans to eliminate the 258 UBC express bus entirely following

consultation with the public and West Vancouver, Smith said, something that likely wouldn’t have been possible without the Blue Bus contract.

“It’s just unfortunate that the Libby Lodge residents are going to be inconvenienced but they still have access to a very fine bus service,” he said.

For Smith, the problem is indicative of the wider dysfunction with the way TransLink operates, with decisions about service being made by unelected bureaucrats and board members.

“It’s been four and a half years for me and the unfortunate thing is in four and half years, there’s been zero meaningful progress on TransLink. It’s still a mess where nobody really is in charge. There’s the province, the mayors, the TransLink board. It still goes around in circles and transit is too important to leave like this,” he said, noting Metro Vancouver is expecting another million people to inhabit the region.

“How can you do all that regional planning when you don’t have any control over transit planning? It just doesn’t make any sense for the residents of the region.”

In-transit-gence

T

ime may soon be running out for the Lower Mainland to get its share of billions of federal transit infrastructure funding.

The feds have already sweetened the deal by upping their portion of funding to 50 per cent and the province long ago committed to paying one third. That just leaves the mayors to find their 17 per cent, which they can’t seem to do. But it’s not for lack of trying.

Every attempt to raise the money has been quashed, either by the province or by the voters.

The mayors have put forward yet another new proposal suggesting a swath of funding sources including fare increases, a $3-hike in property taxes, gas taxes, mobility pricing, selling surplus properties and development cost charges.

But the province hasn’t budged at all, insisting the municipalities, which still

only collect eight cents of every tax dollar in Canada, find their millions from pots of money already in their grasp. The minister responsible for TransLink has said the answer is high-density development and lots of it for cities to raise cash.

It looks a lot like labour negotiations, which, when they’re going badly, happen via the media. The two sides continue to play chicken, waiting for the other to flinch first, hoping the public will rally to their side. If any real progress were being made, it would be behind closed doors.

And much like in a strike, it’s the service’s users who suffer.

The message from the province for those wanting an improved transit system in Metro Vancouver is clear: It’s our way or the highway, perhaps literally.

We’re sure the other Canadian cities who swallow up those federal transit dollars will thank us for our intransigence.

Fort Mac offers lessons for our ’hoods

I

’ve always loved that Joyce Kilmer poem first encountered in elementary school.

You know, the one with the killer line: “Poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree.”

That used to crack up my nine-year-old mind, mainly because I liked hearing an adult call himself a fool and would like to see it happen more often.

I also liked the idea of this old guy who looked like Santa Claus merrily making trees. Ho ho ho. Much better than the God of Sunday school who went around smiting things.

And I’ve always liked trees. As I write, here near the bank of the Capilano River where I live, I’m surrounded by a leafy canopy of oaks, maples and a couple dozen varieties of conifers.

Joyce Kilmer would have loved it here — more trees than fools.

I’ve always thought that was a good thing, but in the wake of the Fort McMurray fire, I’m not so sure. As Crawford Kilian put it recently in the Tyee:

The North Side Paul Sullivan “Hundreds of thousands of us live on the dangerous interface between forests and houses made of forests.

If a blaze on Mount Seymour or Cypress started dropping firebombs on the million-dollar homes downhill, would we respond as calmly and decisively as the people of Fort McMurray?”

Good question, Crawford.

One I ask myself every morning as I inch painfully slowly toward the Lions Gate Bridge in a ribbon of designer traffic. What if we North Shore forest dwellers had to get out of Dodge in a hurry to escape the aforementioned fireballs?

And in the reflection that happens in the wake of an event of such magnitude, as perennially hot and dry conditions make the North Shore forest increasingly vulnerable to a wildfire, people are wondering: Can it happen here?

Hard to imagine, but the volatile combinations of trails, fools and cigarettes just enhance the possibility. According to a recent Vancouver Sun story, last summer there were 28 fires in West Vancouver; 27 of them were caused by tossed cigarettes.

You gotta ask yourself: who would toss a cigarette into a hot dry forest? There are already enough natural hazards such as heat and lightning, but never underestimate the foolishness of a fool.

It’s good to know that the District of North Vancouver is clearing the so-called interface between the forest and the fools, trying to prevent the sort of thing that happened in Fort McMurray.

Perhaps the best thing we can do is understand that for fire safety purposes, it’s not

forest, it’s fuel. Funny how “fuel” rhymes with “fool.”

All you have to do is walk through any trail anywhere on the North Shore to check out all the fuel. Not so long ago, it was an exercise in poetic communion. Now it just makes my palms sweat.

Unfortunately, that’s about the only moisture in the vicinity. There’s something eerie about dust in May. I never thought I’d be eyeing my friendly forest with such fevered distrust.

I also never thought I’d be praying to the tree god for rain. But all this sunshine in a rain forest is creepy. So far, I don’t have much to show for my efforts other than a few sprinkles.

I think the problem is simple: We’ve never had a forest fire, at least not in living memory. Just like we’ve never had an earthquake.

And all the warnings in the world aren’t the same as a live demonstration. In fact, all the warnings in the world just add up to a cry of wolf.

So, we spare a few moments (honestly) for our unfortunate neighbours in Fort McMurray. Some of us even go so far to think that it’s a judgement from Joyce Kilmer’s tree-planting God, who has just let us fools know what he thinks of the oil sands.

But really, we should be thankful that they were able to evacuate the city cleanly and with no loss of life.

And we should be thankful that we got a lesson in what to do when life becomes a living hell.

Queensbury traffic needs to be tamed Dear Editor: Re: Cap Detours Not a Speedway, May 18 Mailbox.

We in the lower Queensbury area have the same issues. With the completion of the Third Street hill/Low Level Road upgrades, homeowners on Fourth, Fifth and Sixth streets have to play dodge the speeding cars every night.

When traffic on Low Level and Third St. hill are at a standstill, cars try racing down our streets between Queensbury and Heywood.

Lots of complaints have been made to the city powers but, to quote: “The volume doesn’t warrant us to take any steps to prevent traffic.”

Perhaps I should move closer to the nice quiet street the mayor lives on with its traffic calming intersections and lots of speed limit signs – probably warranted.

Are you concerned about house prices?

St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York was built in 21 years.

Saving for a down payment on a Metro Vancouver house now takes 23 years.

Back in 1976, when that first Trudeau was prime minister, saving for a down payment took five years. Do we need government intervention to ferret out foreign capital that is apparently lifting housing prices to levels largely unrelated to the local economy? Or is this evidence the suburbs were a misbegotten idea that needs to be done away with?

Local buyers displaced by overseas real estate money Canadians appreciate what the future brings if our governments are short-sighted enough to not step in now and stop overseas buyers entering our real estate market.

Six months ago, housing costs were rising at 20 per cent per year, three months ago it was 30 per cent and today the typical house price in West Vancouver is $2.4 million, up 11 per cent in the last quarter or 33 per cent in the last year.

No one around here can compete, or wants to, against this cash inflow, except perhaps real estate agents who are flogging our land overseas, so the simple inevitability is that we will be displaced along with commercial businesses.

Please provide an article or articles telling local Canadians where this insane market is leading us.

Wheelchair assistance heartening Dear Editor: On Sunday, May 15 at 8:15 a.m., I set off to church in my power wheelchair.

I was on the sidewalk heading north up Mountain Highway.

As I reached Emery Village, my wheelchair came to a grinding halt. It couldn’t move.

I looked down and realized that a metal hoop had wound itself tightly around the two front wheels. I was stuck and sat there feeling helpless. I tried to wave down some cars, but they

Dear Editor: While it is interesting to read all the figures and problems about housing in the media today the key issue is: where is this scenario going?

Cannot some forecaster (at the Urban Land Institute or university, say) examine the future result of the continuing increase in prices and its effect on who will live here in Vancouver and its suburbs.

It is vital that local

sped on.

Eventually, I saw a man walking along on the opposite sidewalk. I yelled for help and he came running across the street to assist me.

He was able to see that the hoop needed to be untangled from the wheels.

I tried to inch my chair forward and backwards as he pulled at the hoop. With every pull, his fingers were cut by the sharp metal.

Just when he thought he couldn’t do it without a metal cutter, another young

man approached to offer his help.

After twenty minutes of struggle and strain, they were able to yank the hoop out. Their hands were bleeding and covered in oil.

I wish to thank these two men for their kindness, perseverance and great effort to help me.

I feel blessed to know that there are such caring people within our community. There are angels, indeed!

PROTECTING WEST VAN’S TREES BYLAW #4892. 2016 | SPRIN G 2016

WE NEED YOUR INPUT

Trees are important to the residents of West Vancouver. They bring positive ecological and environmental benefits as well as community, social, economic and personal benefits. Council is now addressing the fact that there has been no bylaw in West Vancouver to protect trees on private lands.

The District is now consulting the community regarding a long-term strategy for tree protection on private lands. Until then, an Interim Tree Bylaw has been put in place to protect identified trees. Your input will help staff develop recommendations for Council as they consider changes to the Interim Tree Bylaw.

TLC not BIA is what LoLo needs now and North Vancouver Aikikai. That didn’t give us clean gutters.

All 12 businesses on our end of the block signed a city-sanctioned petition and after years of trying we got regular street sweeping two years ago.

Dear Editor: Re: Reporter Jeremy Shepherd’s May 15 article on a BIA in Lower Lonsdale.

As business owners on East First Street in Lower Lonsdale we are against the BIA counter-petition which proponents claim will fund a LoLo beautification.

Our commercial taxes for last year were $19,000 for the three businesses we house — Yoga with Corrie, Two Daughters Bakeshop

run-down, abandoned look and started to look well-kept and inviting.

Sadly for us, and confusing as to why our petition was ultimately discounted, city workers just took away the street cleaning signs a month ago, and now we are back to where we were six years ago.

We will keep our eye out for that BIA counter-petition as we are not in favour of paying another tax if the

city cannot keep our gutters clean with our $19,000+/ year.

We have good festivals.

What we need is clean gutters so that our clients will come here and not feel uneasy. Let the city use our high taxes to provide the most basic enhancement of a business-friendly environment — a garbage-free, well cared for street.

Feeling the parking squeeze Dear Editor:

Re: Big Worries About Small Lots in Upper Capilano (May 1 news story) One of the issues with in-fill lots is parking, and it’s a big issue. Lesley Midzain correctly notes that this is a car-dependent neighbourhood. On top of that, people often have boats, campers and recreation vehicles. On an evening walk

tonight we saw homes with boats parked in driveways and on boulevards in contravention of bylaw setbacks. This problem will increase with added density, and neighbour will be pitted against neighbour in a situation created entirely by planning that ignores reality.

Hiker hoisted with helicopter long line From page 1 After making it down the cliff near the summit of St. Mark’s peak, the hiker was stuck, according to Danks.

“She couldn’t go down, up, or to the side.”

With no provisions to get her through the night except a can of Chunky soup, she used her dwindling cellphone

power to call the West Vancouver Police Department.

Knowing the hiker’s battery power was down to eight per cent, North Shore Rescue scrambled a helicopter.

During a quick reconnaissance flight, rescue team volunteers spotted the stranded tourist, who looked “like a speck on this cliff,” Danks said.

Strapped to 200 feet of long line, rescuers gingerly climbed over cliff bands and between waterfalls to reach the hiker.

The rescue was complicated by the uncertainty of the terrain, Danks said, explaining a misstep could send rocks hurtling at the hiker.

The outdoor enthusiast was in “relatively good condition” when crews reached her

two hours before sunset. Had it been later, she might have been in trouble, according to Danks.

“It would have been really challenging to find her,” he said, explaining the gorge is an unusual spot to find a lost hiker.

“She got really lucky,” he said. “This was a real eyeopener for her.”

Setting it straight

The May 22 story, Status Quo School Board Budgets Passed, erroneously stated the North Vancouver school district cut an average of $1.8 million per year over the last five years.

The district actually cut $9 million between 2008 and 2011.

North Vancouver school district has not made additional cuts since.

BRIGHTLIGHTS! by Paul McGrath Readymades opening The Gordon Smith Gallery of Canadian Art held the opening night reception for its latest show, Readymades, on the evening of May 5. Gordon Smith, the gallery’s namesake, was on hand to greet gallerygoers and talk about the inspiration for the show. Smith recently saw Marcel Duchamp’s exhibition in New York featuring Bicycle Wheel, an early readymade, dating from 1913. Smith selected 11 B.C. artists for the show that operates on the basic concept that just about anything can be a work of art if the artist so chooses, resulting in a commentary on art, culture, mass media and even how viewers react to pieces. The show continues until Aug. 27 at the gallery, located at 2121 Lonsdale Ave., in North Vancouver. gordonsmithgallery.ca

North Vancouver Museum exhibit looks into Burrard Inlet’s history

On the waterfront

! Water’s Edge: Stories from the North Shore of Burrard Inlet, North Vancouver Museum and Archives at Presentation House, 209 West 4th St. , North Vancouver (Thursday-Sunday noon to 5 p.m.).

JOHN GOODMAN jgoodman@nsnews.com

For decades artists Al Neil and Carole Itter lived in the “Blue Cabin” on the North Vancouver waterfront surrounded by the flotsam and jetsam of life on Burrard Inlet.

Malcolm Lowry, who also lived on the shoreline in the ‘40s and ‘50s, called the area “Paradise” with “Hell” literally visible on the south shore when the “S” flickered out on the Shell refinery sign.

For Neil and Itter the Inlet was a “West Coast Lokas,” a special place where there was room to breathe and create.

Some of their artwork was left in situ in the forest and on the beach where it was made while other pieces were shown in galleries and art spaces worldwide.

Neil’s free-form music was a seminal part of Vancouver’s counter-culture scene for many years and in books like West Coast Lokas (1972), Changes (1975), Slammer (1980) and Origins (1989) he further refined his singular vision living off the grid on the water’s edge of Burrard Inlet.

That world is featured as part of a new interactive exhibit currently on view at Presentation House focusing on the history of Burrard Inlet from 1850 to the present. The exhibit was put together by a North Vancouver Museum and Archives team including writer Eve Lazarus, archivist Janet Turner and Juan Tanus’ Kei Space design company.

“The exhibit is all about showing the changes to the shoreline on the waterfront over the last couple of hundred years,” says Lazarus, a North Vancouver writer who specializes in historical narratives. “ We particularly researched the last one hundred where it’s really dramatic and looked at how it changed and why, including changes in industry, infrastructure, development, transportation and environment. We ended up looking from Indian Arm to just beyond Ambleside at Reardon Point and mainly that was all part of North Vancouver until 1912.”

Lazarus was responsible for shaping the initial framework of the Water’s Edge project. “It was kind of like putting a book together,” she says. “I fit it into a framework and looked at where the chapters were going to fall.”

Burrard Inlet stories accessed through interactive maps From page 13 The exhibit has been divided into 10 geographical regions: Indian Arm, Maplewood, Dollarton, Second Narrows, Moodyville, Lonsdale, Mission Reserve, Harbourside Pemberton, the First Narrows/Capilano area and Ambleside.

“We sliced the whole thing up into six time periods from precontact to the present,” says Lazarus.

“The fun for me was finding some of the quirky stories that I’d never heard before.

Did you know that we had the only floating post office in Canada? For 62 years we had a floating post office that went right up Indian Arm.

With no roads water was the only way to go anywhere.

“In 1947, Madge Winfield, a piano teacher, came out from Saskatchewan and took over as skipper of the Seabisquit, which was a floating grocery store. She had no experience whatsoever.

Never been on the water – she just sort of let the wind blow her into the wharf. She visited 25 different wharves, five days a week in summer and three in winter. Just so many great stories.”

French actress Sarah Bernhardt brought a company of 50 and five carloads of scenery for her performances of two plays

by Victorien Sardou, Fédora and La Tosca, at Vancouver’s

Opera House on Sept. 21 and 22, 1891.

“The Divine Sarah also brought her own rifles and went duck shooting up Indian Arm,” says Lazarus.

“We found a picture of Sarah Bernhardt. Janet Turner did an amazing job finding all the photos. You tap on to Indian Arm (in the interactive exhibit) and several stories come up on a scroll, including Sarah Bernhardt.”

There are a total of 92 stories from the 10 geographical regions of Burrard Inlet included in this initial iteration of Water’s Edge.

“When you look at the maps in the exhibit you can see how the shorelines changed then you tap on to

a story,” says Lazarus. “You can access the area you want interactively and the time period. The stories can be added on to like an ongoing project. They want to do more of this interactive work in the new museum. It’s a bit of a pilot in some ways of what can be done.”

The concept of the readymade is contested territory, but the idea itself has had a liberating effect on art ever since a bicycle wheel was mounted upside down on a stool in 1913. Whether it was a new genre, a new category or a new playing field, the readymade has been a foundational spice in the stew that has been 20th-century art.

including found objects, found images, assisted readymades and assemblage.

This exhibition was catalyzed by Gordon Smith’s recent viewing of a Duchamp exhibition at the Gagosian (New York) in 2014. The exhibition will provide an opportunity for viewers to reconsider the state of the readymade, assess its increasingly large role in contemporary art, as well as assay the particular methodologies eleven BC artists have ‘chosen’ to use in their practice.

That Local’s Pass Feeling.

SOUND Al Neil (who lived in the Blue Cabin on the North Vancouver waterfront for many decades, paying the rent by working as a night watchman for McKenzie Barge shipyard next door) first came to prominence on the local jazz scene playing bop piano. He was one of the original founders of The Cellar jazz club in the ‘50s and later formed a trio which featured North Vancouver teen Gregg Simpson on drums and Richard Anstey on bass.

The free-form jazz group opened for the likes of Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead as well as maintaining a local presence. A two-CD release on Blue Minor Records, Al Neil Trio, Retrospective 1965-1968, documents those heady times. Other Neil recordings include Boot and Fog, released on Music Gallery Editions in 1980 and Kenneth Patchen Reads With Jazz in Canada, originally released on Folkways in 1959 and rereleased on Locust Music in 2004.

WORD Al Neil’s published works – including West Coast Lokas (1972), Changes (1975), Slammer (1980) and Origins (1989) – capture what UK writer Bill Shoemaker of Wire Magazine called “a Canadian original, whose passionate abandon blurred the line between genius and goof.” Carole Itter, coedited with Daphne Marlatt, 2011’s Opening Doors, In Vancouver’s East End: Strathcona, considered one of the best books ever written about Vancouver history.

VISION Carole Itter is an accomplished assemblage artist whose work, Grand Piano Rattle: A Bosendorfer for Al Neil (1984), is included in the permanent collection of the Vancouver Art Gallery. Both Itter and Neil filled the landscape around the Blue Cabin with their found art assemblages.

Busy maestro takes audiences on journey Edette Gagné leading Vivaldi Chamber Choir in season finale

! Vivaldi Chamber Choir: Classical Cabaret, Saturday, June 4 at 8 p.m. at St. Helen’s Anglican Church, 4405 West Eighth Ave., Vancouver.

Pre-concert chat with Edette Gagné at 7:30 p.m. Tickets: $22/$18, visit classicalcabaret. brownpapertickets.com.

ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com

Conductor Edette Gagné is a strong believer in the transformative power of performances.

“The arts change people’s lives. They change people’s lives who are on the stage, they change people’s lives who are in the audience and they need our support in order to continue that incredible journey that they’re on,” she says.

The West End resident, who mans the podium for a number of different

local ensembles, therefore strongly encourages community members to attend as many concerts as possible as well as make donations to groups in need of financial support to assure their continued music making.

“You never know how music is going to touch lives.

You never know in a show how one particular piece might speak to somebody in the audience and just completely transform their day, or their moment, or their week, or their mood. We just don’t know,” she says.

With such potential power at her fingertips, or baton so to speak, Gagné remains committed to helping facilitate a certain type of experience for people – performers and audience members alike each time she commands a performance.

“We are on a journey together and if we can take you on this journey and take ourselves on this journey, that’s something special,” she says.

The busy maestro has many opportunities to do just that in the coming weeks

as she’s involved in a number of upcoming concerts with her various ensembles.

One is with the British Columbia Boys Choir, which is gearing up to leave June 26 on a three-week tour of Croatia, Slovenia, Venice and Scotland. Gagné has been with the organization for the last nine years and currently serves as associate conductor.

Prior to heading abroad, the choir will present a Bon Voyage Concert, June 12 at 4 p.m. at Vancouver’s Ryerson United Church.

“It’s not just a Bon Voyage Concert for the boys who are going on tour, which gives everybody at home a chance to see the show, it’s also our farewell concert for (artistic director) Tony Araujo.

After 16 years, he’s retiring … from the Boys Choir so that he can pursue some of the other opportunities that have become open to him.

It’s going to be a very emotional, of course, show on June 12 because of the fact that not only are the boys getting ready for this big

Choir presents season finale in cabaret format From page 17

tour, but also the fact that it’s our chance to honour Tony and say our farewell to him,” says Gagné, who will be taking over Araujo’s role.

Another major performance on the horizon that Gagné is involved with is the Vivaldi Chamber Choir’s season finale, Classical Cabaret, set for June 4 at Vancouver’s St. Helen’s Anglican Church.

Gagné joined the group at the beginning of the current season as artistic director and conductor.

“I was ecstatic to come out and audition because it had been a very, very long time since I had conducted an adult-voiced choir and that just opened up a whole world of repertoire to my musical brain and programming and everything else that I hadn’t really tapped into because it doesn’t work with young voices, it doesn’t work with boys. … It gives me a chance to explore a whole world of music that I haven’t touched since I was singing. It really appealed to me in terms of the possibilities,” she says.

Classical Cabaret’s format and flow will be different than a typical choral concert, aiming to offer a wide variety of music in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere complete with food and beverages.

“I like to do things a little outside of the box,” says Gagné, going on to explain the show has been designed to be “more like a party that

we’re entertaining you at.”

“It’s not a come to a church or a theatre and sit in a chair and watch the concert go by and maybe get a stretch in intermission and then a glass of whatever.

We’re presenting it in a cabaret format,” she adds.

The evening’s program will be divided into three sets with refreshment breaks in between.

The first set will feature songs sung almost entirely in French about beauty, nature and love. The second set, while also focused on nature, moves in a different direction, featuring songs about yearning and unrequited love sung in English, German, Japanese and Chinese.

“The final set of music is praise, so beauty in praise of God, in praise of art, in praise of music and with a very, very fun piece, a Canadian piece called ‘Feller From Fortune’ arranged by Harry Somers,” says Gagné.

The following evening, June 5, the Vivaldi Chamber Choir will present a reworked version of the show, entitled Beautiful and Bright, adhering to a more traditional concert format, in Sechelt.

Gagné has enjoyed working with the talented choir members over the last year.

“They come from all different levels of experience.

We have everything from basically professional level singers to incredibly strong amateur singers who clearly love to be singing. The work ethic is so high and the pride

in performance is so high. ...

I think that I’ve pushed some of them out of their comfort zones with some of the challenge of the music and also what I’m asking from them musically but they’re just eating it up and they’re just really rising to the occasion,” she says.

With her first season nearly under her belt, Gagné is already looking toward the next and is beginning to brainstorm ideas.

“The choir has been around for 27 years so I’m carrying on a really rich tradition with this group. I don’t want to lose the thing that they started with, which was early music, but they’re happily branching out into all time periods, including brand new compositions,” she says.

For example, at the upcoming season closer, they’re going to be performing high school student Joshua Yang’s “Song of Nature,” which was a firstplace winner in Vancouver Chamber Choir’s 2015 Composition Competition.

“We’re only the second choir to perform ‘Song of Nature,’ which is really cool. That’s exciting,” says Gagné.

Gagné is also at the helm of the North Shore Light Opera Society’s current production of The Merry Widow, on now through Sunday, May 29 at Presentation House Theatre. This will be her fourth show with the society though her first in the role

REVIEW: TERENCE DAVIES’ SUNSET SONG

Scots classic laments a lost way of life ! Sunset Song. Directed by Terence Davies. Starring Agyness Deyn, Peter Mullan and Kevin Guthrie.

Rating: 8 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD Contributing Writer

Perfectly poised amid the current madness for period dramas and all things Scottish – slainte, Outlander – comes an elegy to Highland life from polarizing English director Terence Davies.

Fans of Davies’ work are full of praise for his painterly technique, his reliance on natural light and shadow and the way he can frame almost any scene like a modern master. Critics say the lack of action in Davies’ narratives is more like watching paint dry.

Similarly, Sunset Song is a slow, pastoral, historic snippet of Scotland that is punctuated by occasional bursts of violence and joy.

Based on the 1932 seminal Scottish novel by Lewis Grassic Gibbon – the first in a trilogy, A Scots Quair – the film follows the challenges faced

by Chris Guthrie (Agyness Deyn) as she weighs her love

Based on the 1932 seminal Scottish novel by Lewis Grassic Gibbon, Sunset Song follows the challenges faced by Chris Guthrie (Agyness Deyn) as she weighs her love for the land against opportunity in a foreign city. PHOTO SUPPLIED for the land against opportunity in a foreign city. “Foreign” needn’t be in a distant land, run, as most Scottish cities were, by the English: “the English words: so sharp and clean … she knew they could never say anything worth the saying at all.”

Chrissy is studying to be a teacher; she is on the cusp of womanhood, a dangerous

place to be, given her pious and abusive father (Peter Mullan). In a house overbrimming with siblings it’s not Chris but her poor mother Daniela Nardini) and her brother Will (Jack Greenlees) who take the bulk of the beatings: in a lengthy whipping scene worthy of the flogging scene in Passion of the Christ, the victim looks straight at

the camera, as though the audience is complicit.

Tragedy strikes, as it is wont to do, and Chris is left taking care of the family farm with her father, all dreams of escape dashed. It’s not all grim: she meets the antithesis of her father in Ewan Tavendale (Kevin Guthrie) just in time to have a brief window of happiness until the

Great War descends on them all, bringing dark complexity into their simple corner of the world.

There are hints of Hardy in the way farming the land slowly changes and Chris is a perfect Hardy heroine. As the land changes, so does Chris: she vacillates between a country-girl’s love for the earth and anger at being so

inextricably tied to it. But after seeing what the First World War does to the men who survive, Chris concludes: “Nothing endured but the land… The people who lived there were but a breath. At that moment she felt that in the gloaming, she was the land.”

Good performances all around, particularly by Deyn, a former model whose credits include Clash of the Titans and Hail Caesar! This is her most substantial role to date. Guthrie brings a brief gust of joy into the otherwise sombre proceedings; poor Mullan, go-to brute, is all-too terrifying in his role.

But back to those paintings: a scene of ladies in mourning looks like the work of Sir James Guthrie (complete with a “do you want to see him before he’s screwed down?” practicality); there’s a lovely extended scene of villagers silently filing to church through a wheat field. Anything framed near a window is pure Vermeer.

It’s studious beauty but not without basis, anchored nicely into Chrissy’s grounding in the land.

CAPILANO UNIVERSITY 2055 PURCELL WAY, NORTH VANCOUVER

Language of Bollywood dance transcends words Locally trained dancer Natasha Nazerali working with L.A. troupe ! Natasha Nazerali dances Saturday, May 28, 5 p.m. at the Vancouver Convention Centre East, 999 Canada Place, Vancouver, as part of the Art! Vancouver fair. Visit artvancouver.net for more information.

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

Just a week after Natasha Nazerali graduated high school, she was on a plane to New York to further her dance training at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy.

“I didn’t want to waste any time, I wanted to go right out there and do it,” says the ambitious 19-year-old. “I just knew from a really young age that it’s what I wanted to do.”

Born and raised on the North Shore, Nazerali attended West Vancouver’s Sentinel secondary and was in the Super Achievers program, which allows elitelevel athletes and performing artists to get their high school education while still making time to train. Outside of her academics, she studied at North Vancouver’s Shift Dance Academy where she took private ballet lessons every day, and also trained in contemporary dance, jazz and hip hop.

Nazerali had always considered herself a technical dancer first and foremost, but everything changed when she had the opportunity to perform for Indian choreographer and director Shiamak Davar, known for his work with Bollywood stars.

Nazerali had never tried Bollywood-style dancing before, but was quickly hooked.

“It was definitely a challenge for me

Natasha Nazerali shares her passion for Bollywood dance at Art Vancouver this weekend.

at first,” she says, explaining the style demands intricate handwork, right down to the fingertips. While the steps may not be as technically challenging as classical ballet, she says there’s a host of other precise movements to master, from the tilt of the head to the expression in the eyes.

“It’s all the specific details that go into Bollywood dance that make it so difficult.”

She also had to get used to choreography that incorporates veils, finger cymbals, pots and other props, all of which help to convey emotion and tell a story.

“And it makes it more theatrical and more entertaining for the audience as

well,” she adds.

Nazerali is half Indian on her father’s side, so learning a type of dance that fuses classical Indian and contemporary pop styles has been educational.

“Half of my heritage comes from India and I never was familiar with that side,” she says. “Most Bollywood dancers have a very intense background in classical Indian dancing, like Kathak or Bharatanatyam. I had none of that going into it, so it was like learning a whole entire new vocabulary that I was totally unfamiliar with.”

Evidently, she was a quick learner because she is now a member of the Los Angeles-based Bollywood dance company MKM Bollystars. The troupe performs at events around the L.A. area and has appeared in music videos. While Nazerali may not fully understand the lyrics she’s dancing to or the instructions of visiting Indian choreographers, who often speak Hindi, she finds that the language of Bollywood dance transcends words.

“It’s just something that’s so universal and it’s something that’s so different that is now being acknowledged within the media which is really nice,” she says, referring to the growing presence of Bollywood flavour in Western movies and music.

Nazerali is excited to share her passion for Bollywood dance with her hometown at Art! Vancouver, a four-day art fair May 26 to 29 at the Vancouver Convention Centre East. She’ll take the stage to perform a solo number Saturday, May 28 at 5 p.m.

“I’m just really excited to showcase something different,” she says. “I don’t think we have a lot of showcases going on of Bollywood dance in Vancouver, or not as many as we should.”

Following her Vancouver visit, Nazerali has accepted a position with international dance company AATMA Performing Arts and will join the world tour of their show, Mystic India, set to travel to South Africa, Europe, Australia, and throughout the U.S. later this year.

Haberdasher brings back the bow tie Collection of men’s accessories incorporates repurposed shirts

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

A wedding, a birthday party, a Monday. As far as Jessica Heward is concerned, any occasion is a good occasion for a man to sport a bow tie.

The North Vancouver resident is the creative force behind Whisky Cove Haberdashery, a line of dapper handmade men’s accessories.

One of her specialties is bow ties made from reclaimed men’s plaid button-down shirts.

“They’re cotton as well, so the fabric I think really lends itself to day-to-day wear,” she says.

Heward decided to hone in on haberdashery after noticing a gap in the apparel market.

“I feel that it’s harder for men to find really cool stuff. My husband

has a lot of trouble finding really interesting, unique shops. There’s tons of places that women can buy things, but not so much for men,” she says.

In addition to bow ties, Heward also makes toiletry bags and pouches using waxed canvas, a durable and waterproof fabric she discovered a couple of years ago and orders from a supplier in the U.S. “I just thought it was the most beautiful, masculine, wonderful fabric. It’s great for women too, but I just felt it was a really neat thing for men,” she says.

Her bags and pouches are lined with repurposed men’s shirts, which she sources from North Vancouver thrift shops, and they

Shop also sells vintage finds From page 29 incorporate other reclaimed fabric elements, such as leather zipper pulls.

Heward launched her Whisky Cove Haberdashery online Etsy shop in January 2015. In addition to her own creations, she also sells a variety of vintage finds that complement her handmade collection, such as metal cigarette tins, photographs and postcards, and wood and bristle shaving brushes.

“I think that really ties

in and goes along with the trends that I’m going for,” she says.

A skilled sewer from an early age, Heward picked up the craft from her grandmother. She went on to study fashion design at the University of the Fraser Valley and worked for a time at a North Shore company that designs and manufactures search and rescue safety equipment for helicopters. There, she drafted lots of patterns for gear bags – an experience

that gave her a solid foundation when it came time to sew her own pouches and toiletry bags for gents.

“I’ve really just found a love for making men’s accessories – I don’t know why,” she says.

Heward’s Whisky Cove Haberdashery products are available online at etsy.com/ ca/shop/WhiskyCove, and, for a limited time only, at The Gift Box at CityScape Community Art Space, 335 Lonsdale Ave., North Vancouver.

“It’s got something for everybody. The humour operates on multiple levels, the music is exquisite, the leads are unbelievable,” she says.

Other conducting roles Gagné holds include conductor of the Coast Symphony Orchestra, which is one of the four ensembles of the Sunshine Coast Community Orchestra Association, an organization she’s been with for eight years, as well as choir director with the Kids Sing Chorus. “It’s a wonderful organization. They provide a high quality choral program at no charge to the singers for young children in East Vancouver … when else can you do the hokey pokey when you’re at work?” she says.

Gagné also serves as vice-president of the Vancouver Women’s Musical Society, which is celebrating its 110th anniversary this season and works to support young, emerging professional musicians from B.C. with scholarships and bursaries to help them further their education and careers.

“I feel incredibly blessed that I do what I love and what I’m passionate about and I get to call it work.

Granted I do have five jobs because that’s how you make a living as a freelance musician, however, the reason why the energy level is there is because it’s what I’m passionate about. I think if everybody was as lucky as me, wow, what a happy place the world would be. I tell people even a bad day is a good day because I get to make music,” she says.

The X1, BMW’s smallest SUV, gets a complete redesign for 2016, losing some of its spirited nature but gaining a bunch of useful interior space without a drastic increase in overall size. The X1 also boasts an impressive level of practicality and a driving nature fitting of the BMW name. It is available at Park Shore BMW in the Northshore Auto Mall. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD

BMW X1 does a lot with a little BMW’s smallest crossover SUV (or SAV, for Sport Activity Vehicle, as BMW likes to call it) is all-new in 2016.

Like its larger siblings, the X3 and X5, the X1 combines the versatility and higher ride height of an SUV with the fun dynamics of a BMW sedan.

It’s the way it drives that separates it from rivals like the Audi Q3, Mercedes-Benz GLA and Volvo XC60.

Behind The Wheel David Chao

Now in its second generation, the 2016 BMW X1 loses some of its spirited nature, but gains interior room and more advanced features. The North American lineup has also been trimmed down to just one model.

DESIGN As mentioned, the BMW X1 has been completely redesigned for 2016. Now, it is slightly larger on the outside,

but it is significantly roomier inside.

Retaining its conventional layout with four doors and two rows of seats, the BMW X1 can still carry five passengers.

The restyled dash is sleek and angular, and the soft-touch materials and wood accents give it a premium feel.

The 2016 X1 stands 1.7 inches taller, but ground clearance has only increased slightly, allowing the cabin

to provide more headroom.

And while overall length is a little shorter, the wheelbase is longer, creating more legroom for rear seat passengers.

The previous generation X1 was based on the 3 Series Touring. This allowed the X1 to be either rear-wheel or permanent all-wheel drive.

This new X1 is built on the Mini platform, which is a frontwheel drive architecture. This means BMW can no longer

offer the X1 as RWD or with a V-6.

Despite this change, the overall look of the new X1 is much nicer. Styling is still in line with the rest of the BMW range, with its signature kidney-shaped grille.

The standard LED daytime running lights and optional full-LED headlights make a strong statement. The M Sport

Hinchcliffe headlines historic Indy 500

376 days ago, James Hinchcliffe hit the wall at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

It was the largest recorded impact in IndyCar history; part of the suspension broke away and pierced his upper leg, puncturing the femoral artery. He very nearly bled to death.

But this Sunday, the self-deprecating native of Oakville, Ont., climbs into his race car at the head of the pack, having earned pole position by setting a blistering lap time during qualification. Last year, the Indy 500 nearly killed him.

This year, he’s back for revenge.

It’s the kind of story you can’t help finding at Indy: danger, athleticism, determination, fearlessness. And, because this is a Canadian story, there’s plenty of beer involved too. Hinchcliffe has two of his own beers, Hammerdown Pilsner and The Bricks IPA, both brewed in collaboration with Flat12 Bierwerks in Indiana.

Well, I’m sold. Gentleman, start your sofas. Even if you’ve never watched a single motorsports event in your life, this Sunday’s 100th running of the Indy 500 is the

Braking News Brendan McAleer event you don’t want to miss.

It’s a race steeped in tradition, and this year celebrates a century of some of the best circuit racing the world has ever seen. Actually, it’s more than a century: the first 500-mile race ran in 1911, and we’re only getting around to the 100th running because of inconvenient little things like multiple total world wars.

Those first racers must have been absolute madmen.

The cars ran on a circuit of bricks laid over the original tar and crushed gravel. 3.2 million bricks make a huge oval, with a single lap running 2.5 miles. It’s what gives the track its nickname – the Brickyard – and a metre-wide strip of those original bricks sit exposed at the finish line.

Circuit racing, to the

Canadian James Hinchcliffe rips over the famous brick finish line during a practice run at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Hinchcliffe has earned pole position for the 100th running of the Indy 500 this Sunday. PHOTO SUPPLIED WALTER KUHN/IMS casual observer, doesn’t look nearly as challenging as something like the twisting Formula One circuit of Monaco. Indy cars boast similar big aerodynamics to

the pinnacle of motorsport, but they only turn left: how hard can that be?

Answer: hard. Really, really hard. Where a Formula One race can be down to

how much money the teams have thrown at the car as well as driver skill, the Indy 500 is a sort of blend of high-speed chess and guts and skill. With such long

straightaways, the cars go to 230 miles per hour side-byside, each searching for any advantage in speed.

New X1 is more confident, less thrilling

From page 42

package adds further flair.

The xDrive28i is the only X1 model BMW has made available to Canadian consumers.

PERFORMANCE While the previous highperformance 300 horsepower V-6 is no longer an option, the reality is that most buyers didn’t want the extra horsepower as it was the slowest selling of the bunch. The new X1 is designed to please a majority of the customers.

To that end, the 2016 X1 is powered by a new turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder.

It is rated at 228 h.p. and 258 foot-pounds of torque, and BMW claims it will hit 100 kilometres per hour in just 6.5 seconds and will push on to a top speed of 210 km/h.

Every X1 is equipped with BMW’s intelligent xDrive all-wheel drive system. Also, all X1s use an eight-speed automatic transmission.

While the X1 is confident and sure-footed thanks to its AWD system, it’s not as thrilling at its limits as the old model was. But, the new X1 is still more dynamic than any of its direct competitors.

Steering feel is lighter than

before, which makes the X1 more pleasant to drive in town. Its raised riding position also helps, giving a good view of the traffic. Rear and blind spot visibility is good, too.

Despite its raised ride height, the BMW X1 doesn’t suffer from excessive wind noise. Also, some may find the ride a little firmer than they like in a crossover SUV.

ENVIRONMENT Sitting inside the X1 is exactly as you expect from BMW, which is to say it is very comfortable. Eight-way power adjustable front seats are standard, although, the standard faux leather seats feel a little lower-market.

However, it’s the rear seat passengers who benefit the most from the update.

Nowhere are the changes to the X1’s dimensions felt more than in the back. Knee room is up 1.5-inches, and since the front seats have been raised, there is additional space to put your feet. If you want even more rear seat space, there is an optional sliding second row that can also recline.

It’s not entirely perfect, though, as there are a few minor complaints. The large transmission tunnel and narrow middle seat means the X1

The overall look of the new X1 is much nicer than the outgoing model, with styling that is still in line with the rest of the BMW range. The M Sport package adds further flair. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD will struggle to comfortably accommodate three abreast, especially adults.

Storage space throughout the X1’s cabin is generally

good. There’s a two-tiered centre cubby, large door bins front and rear, and front seatback pockets to hold all your smaller items.

For your larger items, the X1 has a generous and versatile cargo area. A power tailgate is standard and cargo space is larger than before and

bests its rivals. The load floor is completely flat with no lip to lift over.

Near death to pole position in one year From page 43

Just to run a clean, fast lap requires a great deal of bravery, that first banked corner coming at you like a wall. You balance the car against the Gs, making sure to keep it away from the upper and lower parts of the track, where bits of tire are starting to accumulate, creating a slippery surface just waiting to break your grip and send you into the wall.

Thread the tarmac needle, then get back on the power gingerly. Indy cars make up to 700 horsepower and weigh

half as much as a Honda Civic. Coming out of the curve, they rocket forward to max velocity, their 2.2-litre twin-turbo V-6s howling. Now do the whole thing again with 32 other cars trying to clinch victory.

I attended the Indy 500 two years back, almost immediately after watching an F1 race. The comparison between the two was nearly night and day: you could barely see the tops of the F1 drivers’ heads for the crowds, and only the cream of Europe got a chance to get close to the cars. The rest of

us were kept at bay by layer after layer of electronically controlled security.

Meanwhile, for the cost of a ticket that’d barely get you upper bowl seating at a Canucks game, the Indy 500 offered totally intimate access. When the cars are staged and sitting ready to run, the doors are opened and the crowds allowed to march out and see them as close as you like, smell the tarmac, and even kiss that famous yard-wide stripe of bricks.

And then, before the race, there are all the traditions to

be observed. That famous phrase, “Gentlemen, start your engines.” The blessing of the race. The hilariously anatomically correct nude racer atop the Borg Warner trophy. Parties in the infield.

The baking Indiana sun.

The Indy 500 is the pulse of America’s heartland, and it remains totally unpretentious after all these years. Win a race anywhere else, you spray champagne; win the Indy, and you’ll be slugging back a pint of milk.

With the circus pared back, you can see the real stories here, the stories of

gearhead, or a race fan. You don’t even need to like cars.

The Indy 500 waits to weave its tale for the 100th time this Sunday. I’ll be watching. So should you.
