HORSESHOE BAY

‘Locals first’ plan pitched for Sewell’s condo project JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

A major development proposed for the West Vancouver waterfront in Horseshoe Bay will come back before the public on Monday, two months after developers pulled their application at the 11th hour. But this time, there’s a twist.

The Sewell’s Landing proposal – a megaproject that includes 159 condo units in six buildings of up to 11 storeys – is essentially unchanged from what longtime owners of Sewell’s Marina and development partners Westbank previously proposed – except for one important difference. Facing blowback from municipal decision-makers who learned in the summer the project was being

actively promoted overseas, developers say they’ve pulled their offshore campaign and will ask anyone buying into the project to sign a declaration that they or their family intends to live in the unit they buy – not leave it empty or flip it for investment. “It’s an extremely rare thing for a developer to do. I don’t know any other developer doing it,” said Michael Braun, sales and marketing director for Westbank, who spoke about the project at a developerhosted information meeting at the Gleneagles Golf Club Wednesday afternoon. “What you’re doing is you’re reducing your market.” The plan, described as a “localsfirst initiative,” is an about-face from the scenario in June, when marketing

Young habituated black bear shot in Blueridge BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Conservation officers have shot and killed a black bear in Blueridge, less than a week after warning the public about keeping their yards clear of attractants.

Officers had been looking to trap that young male bear since last week, eventually locating the bruin in a backyard on Belloc Street on Tuesday evening where it had been hanging out all day, according to Sgt. Todd Hunter. They first tried to haze the bear out of the yard but the animal proved totally habituated and

unintimidated by people. Officers then hit it with a tranquilizer dart and the bear moved into a nearby ravine. “He was put down,” Hunter said. “It was extremely habituated to unnatural food sources, going from yard to yard to yard, which was quite a concern for people. … A bear like that could become dangerous to people, for sure, if it got cornered by somebody coming home or startled.” Hunter characterized the neighbourhood as being “just a mess” with bear attractants including garbage and unpicked fruit.

Y. Franks Appliances – Standing behind quality products for 120 years!

ON BUSINESS

ccustomed as we are to seeing businesses come and go, it is hard to believe that Y. Franks Fine Appliances Ltd., was founded in West Vancouver a full nine years before the municipality was incorporated and that it has ﬂourished there ever since.

That’s 120 years of superb customer service and of standing behind the quality brand name appliances the company chooses for its customers. So what’s the secret to such a successful record? When the question was put to Manager Julie Hale, she had no difficulty providing a list of retail fundamentals that most customers would welcome in any business, retail or otherwise: Hand-Picked Products No matter the appliance, Y. Franks pays close attention to the product’s quality, need-for-service record and customers’ feedback about the product’s reliability, ease of use and value for money. Then, bearing all of that in mind, the company selects the brands and appliances to be displayed in the company’s boutique showroom. “As with any other product you could name, even the best quality brands may have a model that doesn’t quite match the standards we’ve set, so we’ll choose not to carry it,” Hale explained. Most Reliable Brands When you visit Y. Franks, you will see many familiar, hand-picked brand-name products and a few you may not yet have known about. Bosch, Jenn-Air, KitchenAid, Miele, Sub-Zero and Whirlpool are but a few. Although listed here in alphabetical order, they are all of excellent quality and at different prize points. Your own experiences and preferences with a given product will always be factored in to the recommendations by staff. In-House Extended Warranties In addition to the warranties that come from the manufacturers, Y. Franks takes pride in owning its own Extended Warranty company. “That gives us first-hand knowledge of a product’s repair and reliability history which, in turn, influences our own showroom choices and recommendations to our customers,” Hale explained. Appreciation of Costs and Budgets Y. Franks carries both premium and affordable brands. But whether the appliance is small or large, a base model or top-of-the-line, the company’s in-house experts will work with customers to carefully consider their needs and budget to find something that’s just right for them. Remaining cost-competitive in the market benefits everyone – customer and company alike. Non-Commissioned Expert Sales Staff Unlike many other retail endeavours in any field, Y. Franks decided from the outset to structure its business with non-commissioned sales people. “The company wanted its sales staff to base their appliance recommendations solely to fit our customers’ needs, preferences and budget. That way, a client can be comfortable in the knowledge they are not being ‘upsold’ to a product with features they don’t need just so the salesperson can gain a few dollars more commission,” Hale said.

“We want our customers to know that regardless of price-point they have chosen quality appliances that will be the best ﬁt for their kitchen and lifestyle.” One of the side-effects of this type of marketing structure is that it fosters teamwork rather than competition among the sales staff. Consultants are freed up to work together with only the customer’s best interests in mind. In-House Delivery Team Delivery of your appliances is also managed in-house. To complete what the company hopes will have been an exciting and positive purchasing experience for its customers, the company decided long ago to forego the use of third-party delivery companies. Instead, it uses its own dedicated in-house personnel to effect delivery and setup according to the customer’s most convenient schedule. A Carefully Crafted, Intimate Customer Experience Each of the foregoing attributes has been essential to the enviable and successful reputation Y. Franks Fine Appliances has had and continues to enjoy in the North Shore community. Manager Julie Hale summed it up best by reminding us of the company’s philosophy: “To give our customers the best possible experience, we knew we needed to stand out in all respects from other retailers. We want our customers to know that no matter how small or large their purchase might be, they will always have our support on use and care of the products we sell long after those appliances are in their homes or ofﬁces.

PAUL SULLIVAN: BEARS VS. HUMANS - CAN WE ALL JUST GET ALONG? PAGE 8

Condo project affordability questioned

From page 1

partners of Westbank advertised the project at a two-day open house in Hong Kong. Braun described the promotion – both locally and abroad – as “gauging the market.” But at least some members of West Vancouver council weren’t amused when they heard of it. At the time, the municipal council was preparing to pass a motion asking local governments to demand the province take action to discourage speculation by foreign buyers in the real estate market. The offshore marketing of a project previously pitched as a local initiative “raised concerns among council about affordability and who was going to be buying the units,” said Coun. Mary-Ann Booth. Booth noted the concerns were raised prior to the province bringing in a 15 per cent tax on real estate purchased by foreigners, imposed at the beginning of August. Although other development projects have likely been marketed offshore in the past, “the times have changed,” she said. “I think the issue has really come to a head for many people in the metro region. It’s been percolating and percolating.” Booth said it’s hard to justify asking communities to absorb impacts of construction and traffic for developments if they aren’t receiving the benefits of the housing being built. Dan Sewell, who spoke on

Horseshoe Bay resident Robert Ferguson and Boyer Island residents Eoin Finn and Graham Parkinson look over the model for the proposed Sewell’s Landing project at a developer-hosted open house Wednesday at the Gleneagles Golf Club. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH behalf of the Sewell family Wednesday, said when he found out about the overseas promotion, and council’s reaction to it, the project proposal was pulled immediately. He added he thought it would be better to delay the public

hearing than take the project forward when concerns about foreign ownership were reaching a fever pitch. Sewell said he thinks the new 15 per cent tax has put a damper on foreign investment, so it’s less of an issue now.

Braun said he thinks the locals-first plan can work. The company previously partnered with Vancity to do a similar “locals only” project in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, said Braun, which required all of the buyers to

live, work or volunteer in the area. “This isn’t a ‘400 units at Metrotown under $400,000’ that you’re selling on a weekend to whoever shows up with a chequebook,” he said. “You really get to know each of your buyers.”

Booth said the question of how developers will screen buyers to ensure they keep their promises to live in the units will be “the million dollar question.” Prices of the units also remain key to affordability, she said. At the meeting Wednesday, Rhiannon Mabberley, project manager for Westbank, told residents who attended that average prices for the Horseshoe Bay apartments would be $875 per square foot – adding that is lower than the prices in both the Evelyn Drive and Grosvenor projects. Mabberley said the project offers needed housing options for West Vancouver, adding owners of local single family homes who want to move to a smaller space could sell their homes for $3 million and still downsize to a $1-million 1,300-square-foot condo in the project. “It really is an affordable option for West Vancouver,” said Mabberley. Not all of the approximately 50 people who attended the presentation were convinced. Horseshoe Bay resident Lorilee Malleck said she’s still concerned about the impact a development of that scale will have on the village atmosphere and worried about construction and traffic disruptions. She also questioned whether a condo selling for $900,000 could be considered “affordable” for most people. The public hearing for the project takes place in West Vancouver District hall Monday night.

REGIONAL HEALTH SURVEY

North Shore folks healthier, wealthier than most

JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

North Shore residents enjoy some of the best health in the Lower Mainland, with 73 per cent of residents in upper West Vancouver rating their health good or excellent – twice the rate of the region’s residents generally.

North Shore residents “do better in almost everything,” said Dr. Mark Lysyshyn, medical health officer for the North Shore. “Almost every indicator you look at (North Shore residents) are at the top.”

That’s not terribly surprising, added Lysyshyn. North Shore residents are also comparatively wealthy and well-educated and have access to good food, a pleasant place to live and good social supports – factors that tend to favour good health worldwide. “It’s what we would call the social determinants of health,” said Lysyshyn. Among those factors, more people on the North Shore are employed than they are region wide (except in West Vancouver, where many people are retirement age) and more people (80 per cent in

West Vancouver) tend to own their own homes. Between 58 and 71 per cent of North Shore residents who responded to a Vancouver Coastal Health survey in 2013 rated their mental health excellent – above the regional average of 56 per cent. But there are also some significant differences between communities on the North Shore, said Lysyshyn. Residents in the more urban City of North Vancouver, for instance, tend to be less well off economically than their neighbours in the districts of North Vancouver and West Vancouver. While

61 per cent of those in upper West Vancouver reported a household income of more than $100,000 a year, on the west side of the City of North Vancouver, 36 per cent of respondents said their household income was less than $40,000 annually. The disparity translates into city residents being less healthy than their suburban counterparts in some areas measured by the survey, as shown on a recently released detailed interactive map of survey results. For instance, city residents were far less likely to get more than 150 minutes of exercise a

week than their counterparts in upper West Vancouver and more likely to report indulging in sugary drinks. In contrast to the rest of the North Shore, smoking rates in parts of North Vancouver City were also higher than the region’s average of 10 per cent. Despite the North Shore’s generally good health, Lysyshyn said one area where locals get a failing grade is their car-dependent lifestyles. With the exception of residents in the city, more North Shore residents (up to 81 per cent in some areas) commute regularly by car and fewer take public transportation than

residents in the rest of Metro Vancouver. Getting out of cars more often sets patterns in childhood for behaviour later in life. Taking public transit and walking more also promote social connectivity, he added. The interactive map of the health survey results is meant to be a resource, both for decision makers and the general public, partly because “there wasn’t a lot of health data collected at the federal level for 10 years previously,” Lysyshyn said.

RICHARD FLORIDA AT KAY MEEK

Closing the wage gap key to community, urbanist says ANNA DIMOFF Contributing writer

Creating a livable community and closing the gap between the “elite creative class” and the “sinking service class” were key themes presented by internationally recognized urbanist Richard Florida, who spoke at Kay Meek Theatre Sept. 8.

Florida’s presentation wrapped up a speaker series that brought three distinguished urbanists to West Vancouver as part of the Cypress Village planning process. The event was sponsored by British Pacific Properties and Hollyburn Family Services Society. Florida is the director of the Martin Prosperity Institute at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Business and has authored eight books, with his latest work, The New Urban Crisis, coming out in 2017. The speaker series is part of a BPP-led public engagement process with the goal of developing three to four conceptual plan options for the mixed-use development above the Upper Levels Highway. The project is aimed at attracting residents aged 20 to 49. Florida’s theories on how to cultivate more livable communities that attract young,

creative thinkers explore the demand for innovation in today’s urban economy. He paralleled these ideal communities to factories at the height of industrialization. Those factories brought about innovation by focussing the attention of employees on the common goal of improvement. “That creativity doesn’t come from individual geniuses; that’s something that we do together,” said Florida. “It’s a social process, it’s a process of us being together and linking together and forming communities that optimize and create that creative impetus,” he said. Florida noted the shrinking percentage of laborers in the working class, saying that for the first time in human history, our economy is not vitally linked to strength, labour, and processing natural resources. The rise of the service industry that now employs about 40 per cent of Vancouver’s work force, according to Florida, is the large population pocket that needs to be supported most. “We forget that we made factory jobs good jobs. We decided as a society that we would create a middle class, the factory workers, by paying them more. We could do the same thing for service workers,” said Florida. His philosophy is to embrace the creativity of each

individual and catalyze innovation, but to do that, he said, companies need to support employees financially and incentivize creative thinkers to contribute. That’s a challenging task, said Florida, when many employed in the service industry report spending up to 70 per cent of their income on housing in Vancouver. “How do we develop a good job strategy that can make those service jobs better jobs? How do we tap the creative impetus into the people who work at our food shops, in our restaurants?” he asked the audience. Florida said that removing the commute is a large part in creating successful, concentrated communities. “This attempt to overcome the divide between where we live, where we work, where we interact, is really important,” he said. “The more we can create more organized, concentrated, clustered communities where people can live and work, the more we have places for them to congregate ... the better off we’ll be.” BPP and the working group will continue to collect public input on the future of the Cypress Village Area Development Plan and hope to have the project adopted by council by 2018.

Blueridge residents to face fines From page 1 homeowner where the bear was discovered kept unsecured food in a backyard fridge. “Being in North Vancouver, you should know better. Having an outdoor fridge is just asking for trouble,” Hunter said. The bear had a history with run-ins with humans since it was an orphaned cub. In 2015, after its mother was struck and killed on Highway 1, officers took the bear to Critter Care Wildlife Society when it was spotted rummaging in the Beach House restaurant’s dumpster and grease traps. “When I saw the ear tag, I had kind of a gut feeling it was one of the bears we sent to Critter Care,” Hunter said. “We did everything in our power. It’s just that it didn’t have any opportunity.” While many residents are diligent, it just takes one to teach bears bad habits. “When you leave (attractants) out… that bear has no hope at all at making these decisions that we hope they make. They don’t have that reasoning ability,” he said. “They need to put calories on. That’s all they know.” Officers have been busy

going from call to call but Hunter said he’s planning to send members back to a few “key residences” in Blueridge to start enforcing provincial laws against people who attract bears Officers can issue a $230 ticket on the spot. For people who haven’t complied with previous warnings or orders, that climbs to $575. In the most serious cases, it could go to court and result in a fine in the thousands of dollars. There are other habituated bears in Blueridge, Hunter said, and the District of West Vancouver has also issued a warning regarding a family of bears spotted around Caulfeild. “These bears keep looking for food in this neighbourhood, and they keep finding it,” said senior bylaw officer Paul Reece. “If this continues, these bears are likely to remain here, and if there is conflict between people and the bears, the most likely outcome is that the bears will be destroyed.” Hunter said that is the last thing conservation officers want to see. “You feel terrible. People are looking at you like you’re a killer. It’s not the case. It’s a case of ‘I have to, to maintain public safety,’ ” he said.

HANES VALLEY

Hiker rescued after overnight ordeal BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

A hiker’s missed turn in the backcountry led to an impromptu slumber party with North Shore Rescue members Wednesday night.

A black bear – seen here as a cub at the Critter Care refuge in Langley in 2015 – was shot in North Vancouver this week after becoming habituated to humans in Blueridge. PHOTO SUPPLIED

The RCMP called NSR’s search managers for help just before 7 p.m. after a 30-year-old North Vancouver woman reported being lost somewhere in the Hanes Valley. Because of her remote location, cell coverage was too spotty for police to triangulate her location. With little daylight left, two NSR volunteers headed for the backcountry, knowing it would likely be a

one-way trip for the night. “Our priority was to get a machine up in the air as fast as possible,” said Mike Danks, North Shore Rescue team leader. “We fired up the aircraft right away, picked up two of our members and they flew straight in.” The hiker was intending to go from the Lynn Headwaters trail to the top of Grouse Mountain but rescuers had reason to believe she missed the Hanes Valley trail and continued north to the very remote Lynn Lake. The volunteers spotted her just as darkness fell. The uneven terrain made a

Bears repeating

nother black bear is dead in North Vancouver after becoming badly habituated to human food and shot by conservation officers. It’s the second one killed this season and we completely expect we’ll have to write this kind of story again at least once or twice more before the snow flies. Why? Because either people aren’t getting the message about keeping their properties free of attractants, or they are and simply don’t care. Conservation officers say they’ll be back in Blueridge soon with their ticket books, and rightly so. It’s not just the bears that are in danger. It’s also the bipeds. Predictably, when we run these stories, our suburb-dwelling population gets angry at conservation officers, and throw around pejoratives like “bloodthirsty” and “killers,” which is totally unfair. Relocation and

rehabilitation are nice thoughts, but they are nowhere near as effective or humane as we like to tell ourselves. In fact, this bear was orphaned as a cub and taken to a rehabilitation shelter for a year before it sauntered back into a residential neighbourhood to eke out a living, courtesy of careless humans. Instead of directing our anger at the COs, we might want to make sure our yards and garages are spotless of anything that may tempt the easily tempted bears. And further, we ought to start taking this up with our neighbours. It only takes one person ignoring the rules to ruin it fatally for a bear. Every time we write a story about bear conflicts, we prominently push the message that it’s us who are responsible for these bears being shot. It’s a message that, evidently, bears repeating.

Bears vs. humans: Can we all just get along?

was hoping we’d make it through the summer without a bunch of dead bears scattered across the landscape, but it was a faint hope. The main problem (or excuse) most often given is that the bears have developed a taste for people food, and if the people get in the way, tough. Or mother bears see a threat to their cubs and attack. The most recent victim of its own appetite, the Capilano Canyon bear, was shot on Sept. 3. It was one of more than 145 bears taken out so far this year across B.C. by conservation officers, police and private citizens. Yes, these are big, dangerous A-list predators, but in a world where big, dangerous A-list predators are increasingly rare, there has to be another way. Here on the North Shore we may not realize it, because

CONTACTUS

The North Side Paul Sullivan we have incredible access to one of the world’s last great wildernesses, but humans have pretty much wiped most of the A-list predators off the face of the planet. Lions, for example. There are about 40,000 left in the world. That’s in the world. There are plenty of domestic pussycats, about 600 million, but the king of beasts is mainly a Disney artifact. Hakuna matata.

And it doesn’t stop with predators. This is an equal opportunity holocaust. A World Wildlife Fund study issued in 2014 maintained that half the world’s wild animals have simply disappeared in the last 40 years. That’s half, as in 50 per cent. Of all the animals. In the world. That’s not enough for the United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Service, which is busy reducing that number by 7,400 wild animals a day. The service, dedicated to “resolve wildlife conflicts to allow people and wildlife to coexist,” terminally resolved 2.7 million wild animals by various means for various reasons in 2014. It would be interesting to know how they define “coexist” at the USDA. Yet, the USDA has nothing on our own conservation services. The USDA euthanized 570 black bears for the

entire year across the entire U.S. Our own conservation service sent 146 black bears to the big salmon stream in the sky this year between April and June. That’s three months, just in B.C. I’ll admit there are more black bears than lions, about 120,000-150,000 in B.C. alone. So many that people get to kill 4,000 a year just for fun. So what if half the animals in the world are gone? But if you’re a fan of the wild, and I am, it’s galling to watch these magnificent beings sacrificed for doing what comes naturally — looking for food and protecting their young. Before we exterminate what’s left of all God’s creatures great and small by 2050 we need an attitude transformation. We need to think about what it will be like in a world where we’ve killed everyone else. Pause for thought.

Time’s up. Then we need to call off the hunt and start doing what we can to encourage the revitalization of the wild. On the North Shore, we have a unique opportunity as the last sentinels of the frontier to lead the way. We can begin by implementing a policy that reserves killing as a last, instead of the first, resort. It may be inconvenient for the conservation service to drive all those hungry bears around the province over and over again, but after killing 4,000 of their brothers and sisters just for fun (er, sport) every year, it’s the least we can do. If it were up to me, I’d eliminate the bear hunt too, but one voice crying at the edge of the wilderness doesn’t amount to much against the firepower of the hunting hobby lobby. The thing is, eliminating the hunt

makes good dollars and cents. A few years ago, an organization called Center for Responsible Travel figured that bear viewing in the Great Bear Rain Forest created 12 times more economic activity than bear hunting. I suggest that gap will spread as B.C. becomes, by default, one of the last, if not the last, wild places on earth, where you can still watch Baloo and Akela do their thing. So while we still can, let’s stop killing bears (and all their fellow woodland creatures) as a solution. There are other, better ways to coexist with the animals. Ways that emphasize “exist.”

Is 40 cents the right minimum wage hike? On Wednesday, B.C.’s minimum wage was the lowest in Canada. On Thursday we zoomed to the middle with a new bottom of $10.85. Whether that boost is a boon or burden for the economy depends largely on whether you’re waiting for the economy to trickle down or you’re one of the lucky few doing the trickling. For the middleout school of thinkers, B.C.’s economy is akin to an Oreo: the more you put in the middle, the better it is for everyone. Weigh in at nsnews.com. — Jeremy Shepherd

First past the post has faults but is better than alternatives Dear Editor: Having been over some decades a reporter and editor in a number of countries where there are different electoral systems, I would like to add my two cents to the present debate about the proposed changes to the ways we elect our members of Parliament and other legislatures, apparently meant to improve our input in the process. To start with, no system is perfect, but, to quote Winston Churchill, “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.” The same applies to the present system, which, for its faults, is still far superior to the suggested alternatives. The second observation is that wherever I observed the electoral systems available, no party coming to power ever complained about the unfairness of the process, only those who lost, no matter if in previous elections they also benefited from the results. Even your reader, Rafe Mair – once an MLA and

minister with the former Socreds, now clamouring in a recent letter for major changes – never complained in the past when his party obtained a huge majority in 1975, the year he was firstly elected, not reflective of their share of the popular vote. While the party obtained a bit over 49 per cent of the popular vote, they ended with an absolute majority of 65 per cent in the legislature. I understand the frustrations of those looking for a system of proportional representation, rather than the present first-past-the-post system, but not everything appearing to be equitable is also democratic. The main point being: who decides the fate of the elected officials? The people in the riding where they live and possibly work, or the party leaders and bureaucrats somewhere in Ottawa, Victoria or Toronto? Under the much touted proportional representation, every party’s candidates are placed on a list, often established far away from

us, and, based on the position on the list, the chances of being elected are either guaranteed, or practically nil. And the people living in the riding have more often than not, no input. A potential MP might live in Surrey and be not very liked by the people there, but if a loyal “soldier” to the party boss in Ottawa, who puts the person on the top tier of the list, he/she have a very solid chance of being elected based on the obtained percentage. For those with a good memory, while we have had on numerous past occasions prime ministers, premiers, top ministers defeated because their constituents did not like their policies and performance, under the proportional representation, the chances of this happening are zero – unless the entire party drops under an established threshold. To paraphrase Winston Churchill’s words, the present system is the worst, except for the suggested alternatives. Jack Chivo West Vancouver

The key to Canada’s long-term economic growth can be summed up in a single word: innovation. This country was built by innovators. But the need to up our game is urgent because we are in a global race. Technology is reshaping the way the world accesses information, buys goods and services, generates and uses energy and builds communities. It is creating an open playing ﬁeld among countries, giving their citizens new-found ways to collaborate and compete globally. Other countries are moving fast to equip their economies to lead. That challenge was not lost on a group of nearly 30 successful business innovators and organizations I had the privilege to host at a roundtable discussion last week organized by the Vancouver Economic Commission at the request of Canada’s Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development.

Innovation gaps The business leaders at last week’s meeting were already well-versed with Canada’s innovation gaps: Among 34 of the world’s most advanced economies, Canada ranks 22nd in business spending on research and development. Canadians are good at starting businesses - more than 70,000 new companies are established every year. However, we have less success in developing companies to a global scale. We heard that Canada’s immigration system needs to be more responsive and better aligned with the actual skill needs of industry. One roundtable participant in the high tech sector said his firm has 70 open jobs he simply cannot fill. There was discussion of the need for a strategy focused on growing regional clusters of innovation excellence. There was consensus that Canada must be highly strategic in focusing on economic sectors where: We have, or believe we can develop, a sustainable competitive advantage globally There will be significant global demand growth in the coming decades – such as clean tech. Our country’s clean technology exports presently represent only about 1 percent of the global market share – a significant decline from the almost 2% share we held 10 years ago. There have been several such roundtable conversations across the country over the summer as the Federal

Government invited Canadians to share their thoughts and ideas on how to build a country where innovation is ingrained as a cultural characteristic and as a key driver of future growth. The result of these consultations will be Canada’s ﬁrst Innovation Action Plan.

North Vancouver well positioned As the Federal government moves forward this fall on its vision to build Canada as a global centre for innovation, North Vancouver is very well-positioned to be a pace-setting contributor. Locally, the North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce has taken a leadership role in preparing for the launch of an Action Plan later this year. Working with a $1 million grant from the federal Western Economic Diversiﬁcation program, the Chamber has been busy fostering an innovation network with synergistic events like the ﬁrst North Vancouver Tech Forum held in the Pipe Shop in July. “We had no idea there’s such a high level of tech activity in North Vancouver, says the Chamber’s energetic CEO Louise Ranger. “There’s already a very strong innovation base on the North Shore.”

Lifestyle a talent draw According to the most recent census data, the third largest employer in North Vancouver is the professional, scientific and technical services sector – a key driver of innovation. “What’s more, our outdoor surroundings are precisely the kind of talent draw successful high tech clusters in the U.S. have been using for years,” says the Chamber’s CEO. North Vancouver is also culturally diverse with a regrettable number of immigrants trained in science and engineering who are under-employed. They add tremendous potential bench strength to North Vancouver’s potential as an innovation hub. As the roundtable drew to a close last week, the final question from the business audience confirmed both the wisdom of the government’s consultative approach and the presence of an essential ingredient – the spirit of collaboration. The question was: “How can we help?” Sponsored by the Electoral District Association of North Vancouver, Liberal Party of Canada PO Box 38585 Metropolitan PO, N. Van. V7M 3N1

DNV seeks non-profit affordable housing partner District-owned land near Phibbs Exchange earmarked for rental units JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

The District of North Vancouver is looking to turn a non-profit this fall.

Council voted unanimously Monday to scour Canada’s non-profit sector

for a partner that could collaborate with the district in building and running familyoriented affordable rental housing on the 1500-block of Oxford Street. The $2.45-million site – comprised of five lots on Oxford and Orwell streets – is owned by the district but could provide a “meaningful step” to offering affordable housing for North Vancouver families, according to Coun. Jim Hanson. The district is aiming to capitalize on the provincial government’s plan to

allocate $355 million toward affordable housing over the next five years. If the districtowned land were rezoned, it could accommodate 126 units, split fairly evenly between two- and threebedroom rentals. While the vote was unanimous, Coun. Robin Hicks had a few misgivings about how council will move forward. “We are disposing of an asset that belongs to our residents,” he said. But while the district might cede some control of

the land, they could retain ownership of the property through a 60-year ground lease. Besides the parcel, Hicks was also worried about how the non-profit partner will choose tenants. “I just have some concerns about somebody acting as Solomon and deciding who gets it and who doesn’t.” Coun. Lisa Muri expressed similar concerns, declaring the units should be earmarked “in perpetuity” for District of North

OFFER ENDS OCTOBER 10th!

Vancouver residents. Couns. Roger Bassam and Mathew Bond differed on whether the housing mix should include a four-bedroom unit. Bassam said a fourbedroom unit should be required, given their looming scarcity in the municipality, while Bond suggested it shouldn’t be a “hard requirement.” The plan received praise from Coun. Doug MacKayDunn, who lauded the “excellent” location, due in part to its proximity to a

town centre. The site is also adjacent to Phibbs Exchange. The district would likely provide the land for a nominal price and waive certain municipal fees to “leverage the provincial dollars,” according to a staff report. The plan would follow the model used at district-owned sites including Hollyburn’s youth safe house as well as the Turning Point alcohol treatment centres. Staff is expected to report back to council with possible partners in November.

In their minds, it was just not worth the risk of trying to hike her out that whole way,” Danks said. “They made a decision to set up the tent and sleeping bags, have a fire to keep warm, they made some food, had some drinks and just waited to first light.” The helicopter was back at 6:30 a.m. on Thursday to fly them back to civilization. The call could have been prevented if the subject was carrying a GPS system, satellite locator beacon or, at the very least, a map, Danks said. “She would have had a very, very cold night last night.

BRIGHTLIGHTS! by Paul McGrath Tactile Forest Representatives of CityScape Community Art Space held an opening reception for their latest exhibition, Tactile Forest, on the night of Sept. 8 with the seven exhibiting artists in attendance. The show, which runs until Oct. 1 at the Lower Lonsdale gallery, embraces the theme of botanical life and brings it indoors into a gallery environment. The natural palette of greens, browns and blues of the forest are interpreted by the artists in a variety of techniques, including acrylic and oil paint, embroidery, mixed media photography, fibre and ceramic sculptures, and even preserved plants. The gallery is located at 335 Lonsdale Ave., in North Vancouver. nvartscouncil.ca

Christie Grace blends modern jazz with pop, folk and R&B influences on her new album, Golden Thread, recorded with producer Chris Gestrin.

Christie Grace releases new jazz album

Golden Thread ! Christie Grace Golden Thread album release concert, Sept. 17, 8 p.m. at the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s Pyatt Hall, 843 Seymour St., Vancouver. Tickets: $25/$20/$15, available at the door or online at christiegrace.bpt.me. CHRISTINE LYON CLYON@NSNEWS.COM

It would be devastating news for anyone, but learning she needed immediate reconstructive jaw surgery came as a particularly serious blow to singer-songwriter Christie Grace. The longtime Bowen Island resident had just started

recording her third studio album when an abscessed root canal on the left side of her mouth derailed her plans. The condition required she undergo seven surgeries, two of them major. “For a singer, all the trauma that happened around my jaw joints, around my tongue, around everything, it was profound because it just put me in such a vulnerable place,” Grace says. Doctors couldn’t guarantee how she would fare vocally after the surgeries, so she had to trust that she would be able to sing again. In spite of the medical hurdle, Grace continued plugging away at her jazz-infused album. “It wasn’t that I stopped working on the album, because I did not. We continued on,” she says, explaining she had to take long breaks, spending sometimes three to six months away

from the studio. “On those breaks I would just inhale the songs,” she says. All the down time spent recovering was a blessing in a sense, she adds, because it allowed her to refine and rewrite her work. “I just was so happy to have that time to connect even deeper to what it was I was trying to say and why I was saying it.” Officially released on Sept. 14, Grace’s new album, Golden Thread, took more than five years to complete. It was originally inspired by a solo road trip she took down the coast in 2010 to Big Sur, California, where she attended a healing retreat.

Gaza Surf Club making waves just off the Strip JULIE CRAWFORD ContributingWriter

Another week, another few hundred groundbreaking, illuminating new films, many making their world premiere in Canada at the Toronto International Film Festival (Sept. 8-18). Here is another short-list of films to watch: Gaza Surf Club (Germany) All that Westerners hear of Gaza, that beleaguered Palestinian strip of land between Israel and Egypt, is of bombings and explosives smuggling. It’s of great surprise, then, to learn that there is a burgeoning surfing community comprised of young men – and a few brave women – seeking to escape it all on the waves of the Mediterranean. Documentarians Philip Gnadt and Mickey Yamine introduce us to several characters, most notably 23-year-old Ibrahim, who dreams of opening up a surfing school and meeting place for Gaza’s youth. He’d like to go to Hawaii for proper training but is consistently denied permission to travel. Young Sabah, 15, continues to surf despite disapproval from the community at large, though she does have one strong advocate: her father. Through these interviews Gnadt and Yamine show the tragedy that something so basic as recreation should be so fraught with risk, but demonstrate that getting

Laura and younger sister Kate (Lily Rose Depp) find some manner of success on the nightclub circuit but seize an opportunity

As Laura finds fame in film, Korben seeks answers with Kate, all while fascism and Nazism seep slowly into the party. The film is rich and luxe to the nth degree, including a plot that

TIFF RISING STAR: JARED ABRAHAMSON

Jared Abrahamson didn’t know what to expect when the director of his latest film, Hello Destroyer, suggested he apply for the Toronto International Film Festival’s Rising Star program: “I thought it might just be Hollywood kind of fluff… but a good way to promote the film.”

After he was selected (along with fellow honourees Grace Glowicki, Mylene Mackay and Sophie Nelisse) and made the pre-presser rounds, however, the

Vancouver resident said he realized that “it’s an artist program, made by artists. It’s got soul to it.” The TIFF Rising Star “pregame stuff” included a shopping spree (“I don’t even own a suit, I’m as blue collar as it gets!”), and a sit-down for some industry advice from super-agent Michael Levine. The main event taking place during the festival consists of seminars with casting directors, media training and one-on-one meetings with directors: valuable networking in a tough business. TIFF runs Sept. 8-18, showcasing films large and small from 83 countries. So

far the experience has been amazing, says Abrahamson. “It just solidified this path that I’m on.” That path began in Flin Flon, Manitoba, a mining town of 5,500. Abrahamson was working in the mine, had spent two years in the ground. A friend headed to Vancouver first to pursue acting and told Abrahamson he should try it. “I love working in the mine, I got nothing against it,” says Abrahamson, “but I just had to do something.” Flin Flon is the home of hockey Hall of Famer and former Philadelphia Flyer Bobby

Carol Shields’ Unless debuts at Toronto fest From page 20 is overstuffed with too much potential. “Abandon yourself, stop being wary, disappear!” is a director’s instruction to Laura. The film is best enjoyed if the viewer can stop trying to make sense of things and do the same. Unless (Canada/Ireland) One of two movies based on Carol Shields novels at the Toronto International Film Festival, Unless is the story of a woman whose college-aged daughter Nora suddenly and inexplicably decamps to a spot on Toronto’s streets, virtually catatonic and holding a cardboard sign on which is one word, “goodness.” Catherine Keener plays Reta Winters, who resists the urge to simply drag Nora into a waiting car – that comes later – in favour of solving the mystery of why her daughter (Hannah Gross) would choose such a silent and demeaning form of protest. Poor director Alan Gilsenan, who has to contend with both ardent fans of Shields’ final novel and the fact that he turns Downton Abbey’s Brendan Coyle into a bad guy. “Happiness isn’t goodness, I know that now,” says Reta. Part mystery, part drama, and Keener’s finest role to date, bar none. The Duelist (Russia) You can almost smell the muck and blood in Alexey Mizgirev’s The Duelist, even more so now that it’s coming to an IMAX screen near you. In 19th-century Czarist Russia, only a nobleman is permitted to restore the honour of a nobleman, and boy, do these guys get peeved a lot. But nobility can be bought, as our hero Yakovlev (Petr Fedorov) discovers. A professional duelist with an uncertain history -- and a death wish, apparently -- Yakovlev kills five

Catherine Keener and Hannah Gross star in the new film version of Carol Shields’ Unless. PHOTO SUPPLIED men in St. Petersburg in four months alone, trying to earn enough money to restore his family name. “You are a death machine, and you and I will make millions,” proclaims his German procurer. It is surprisingly violent: clearly a single shot at 40 paces is not the only way to honourably murder a man. The plot thickens after Yakovlev discovers that he’s a pawn in a bigger game, and with the introduction of a princess-in-distress (Julia Khlynina). Superb costuming and set pieces offset Mizgirev’s tendency to underestimate his audience. In The Blood (Denmark) The characters in Rasmus Heisterberg’s In The Blood long to break out of Copenhagen and get away. Far away. After exams, medical student Simon (Kristoffer Bech) has plans to take off to the Amazon in Bolivia and work in a field hospital there, dragging along best friend Knud (Elliott Crosset Hove), who was recently dumped by his girlfriend of three years. “We’re going to have a great summer!” feels like a doomed prophecy, not a proclamation. There are too many weekends spent drinking surgical spirits and picking up women in between now and

then: it’ll be a miracle if brilliant, entitled Simon makes it. Or if his friendship with Knud and two other flatmates can survive Simon’s bouts of petulant game-playing. Known primarily as writer for A Royal Affair and the film adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s novels, Heisterberg shows his skill as a director as he maps Simon’s journey in monthly chunks, while the viewer feels the effects of the men’s partying with every discomfiting close-up. Park (Greece/Poland) Spectator sports of a different kind take place at Athens’ abandoned Olympic village, where troubled kids and teens hang out in between scrounging for food and dealing with their dysfunctional families. These lost boys and girls spend empty, aimless days, the next generation to face joblessness and economic despair in Greece. Summer love, of sorts, blooms between Anna (Dimitra Vlagkopoulou) and timid Dimitri (Dimitris Kitsos), Director Sofia Exarchu proves a master with the small moments that make these kids who they are. There is no small measure of bravado, but an equal dose of pain/shame written on their faces as these kids grow up far too fast.

Clarke. That history weaves nicely into Abrahamson’s role in Hello Destroyer, written and directed by Kevan Funk. Abrahamson stars as Tyson Burr, a junior hockey player whose life is shattered after an incident of on-ice violence. The coaches who hollered for results, his teammates, and his host family all kick him to the curb amid the media scrutiny, leaving Tyson alone and with dwindling options. The film will have its world premiere at TIFF. Abrahamson’s own hockey career was brief: “All’s I wanted to do was fight.” So his dad took him out of hockey and put him in taekwondo. Abrahamson did a little bit of wrestling in school, he says, and some boxing in the backyard with his buddies. But it was all leading to mixed martial arts (MMA): Abrahamson had three amateur fights and two professional bouts under the name Wolfblood; it’s a career he stuck with even while he was attending Vancouver Film School and after he started booking regular acting gigs

and Fear The Walking Dead followed. In addition to Hello Destroyer Abrahamson has Netflix series Travelers, plus feature films Gun, Hollow in the Land, Detour, and Never Steady, Never Still, coming out. His dream opportunity? Working with Martin Scorsese. “Eventually I gotta get in with Marty,” Abrahamson says, “even if it’s a longshot, I’ll keep calling … maybe eventually he’ll hear me!” Now Abrahamson calls Vancouver home. When he’s in town he likes to head to Lynn Canyon, his favourite spot in the city. “Where else are you able to step right outside the city and get lost in the woods?” Back when he was training for fights he’d jog nine kilometres from the SeaBus terminal up to Grouse Mountain and then tackle the punishing Grouse Grind. But the actor is grounded; he still has one foot back home and talks to his friends back in Flin Flon every day. “All the guys working in the mine, they love this,” says Abrahamson. “It’s rare, it doesn’t happen to us … they’re just laughing all the way.”

(the actor says he never had injuries to the face, luckily). “The plan was to keep fighting, do a movie, a show, fight … cycle it,” he says. As his acting career took off he found he had to choose. Friend and mentor Sal Ram, who runs an MMA program out of Port Coquitlam and who “moulded me as a man,” pointed out that Abrahamson could do more for himself and for his family by pursuing acting. “He just said ‘look, you got this opportunity: you could be a fighter, it’s an honourable life but it’s not a glamorous life’… there’s no longevity.” What would Abrahamson say to kids who want to play hockey, football or MMA, with the risks of serious injuries? “I say go for it, 100 per cent… you can’t double up if you don’t roll the dice.” Contact sports are hard on the body but great for the character, he says, pointing out that it prepared him well for the cutthroat world of acting: “How could I be nervous going into an audition if I could go into a cage in my 20s and fight men in their 30s?” Roles in TV movies and shorts, Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Designer takes a shine to amber and gems Keepsake pieces honour deaths, births, milestones

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

When Kami Fasan’s daughter, Claire, was a baby, she wore an amber teething necklace.

Used as a natural remedy for centuries in Europe, the beaded necklaces have caught on in North America in recent years. Proponents believe the beads release minute amounts of naturallyoccurring succinic acid, which has an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect when absorbed by the body. One day, Claire’s necklace broke and Fasan says she noticed a difference in her daughter’s level of discomfort. Being a crafty person, the North Vancouver resident ordered some amber beads and made a new necklace. With the leftover materials, she made herself one too. “I wore a necklace wrapped around my wrist as a bracelet to bed for a few nights in a row,” Fasan says, explaining she had pain and swelling in her wrists from doing a lot of sewing at the time. “The more I wore the amber, the better my wrists felt.” Fasan soon started making amber necklaces for friends and local moms. Five years ago, she launched Full Moon Mothering, a line of Baltic amber and gemstone jewelry for adults and children. All her amber is sourced from family-run businesses in Lithuania, since the Baltic variety contains a high concentration of

succinic acid, she says. “It’s kind of like nature’s homeopathic Advil.” Many of Fasan’s jewelry designs incorporate other gemstones that are thought to have their own healing properties. “Amethyst, for example, is traditionally associated with calming the mind so it balances both sides of the brain and promotes a very calm meditative state,” she says. “Turquoise has a very long history of being used for arthritic pain.” In addition to her amber and gemstone creations, Fasan also makes custom DNA keepsake jewelry to commemorate births, deaths, and important milestones. This side of her business was inspired by her grandfather’s death. “His passing brought together members of my family that hadn’t been in the same room together for more than a decade and I wanted to do something that honoured that,” Fasan says. She asked the funeral home to set aside a small amount of his ashes and used resin to preserve the ashes in colourful beads, which she gave to her relatives as mementos. After that, Fasan started making keepsake jewelry for moms. Examples of organic material she has turned into jewelry include dried umbilical cords, dried and encapsulated placentas (known as placenta pills), and dried pieces of the amniotic sac. She uses resin

North Vancouver resident Kami Fasan creates Baltic amber and gemstone jewelry for adults and children under her Full Moon Mothering label. She also makes custom keepsake pieces that incorporate organic materials such as the ashes of a loved one or a baby’s dried umbilical cord. PHOTO CINDY GOODMAN to preserve the material as beads, pendants and rings, adding colour and sparkle to her customer’s liking. For a more discrete look, she might place the keepsake material inside a vial or locket. It’s a way to reinvent something that might otherwise live inside a baggie at the back of a mother’s drawer for years.

“It just kind of sits there, along with baby’s first tooth and baby’s lock of hair and all of these things that, let’s face it, they’re kind of macabre and they’re kind of gross, but the memory is still special.” Creating custom keepsake jewelry isn’t a process Fasan takes lightly. “The stories that I get with the custom orders, they’re

very special, and I’m often quite honoured at how open and truthful people are with me,” she says. For that reason, she makes a point of working on only one keepsake item at a time. “It’s what I call sacred work and I want to be respectful of the person’s ashes that I’m working with

or respectful with the brand new little baby,” she says. “Only when that one is done, packed up, shipped, and reached its new owner do I move on to the next piece.” Fasan’s jewelry is available at fullmoonmothering.com. She also sells her designs at craft fairs and will be a vendor at PumpkinFest in West Vancouver on Oct. 2.

It’s Time to Get Serious About Your Future Do you know if you will outlive your money in your retirement? Mr. and Mrs. V were uncertain about what they could expect for their retirement. We worked with the V Family to determine the range of retirement outcomes they could expect and helped them put a retirement plan in place – a road map for their future. We’ve conservatively invested their funds for 11 years, and tracked their progress against the plan. We provided advice about Individual Pension Plans, corporate structure, real estate investments, and their business plan. We understand the volatility of the markets, the ravages of inflation, and the challenges of planning and investing on your own. Contact us for a complimentary meeting!

DEVELOPER’S INFORMATION SESSION Ankenman Marchand Architects is holding an information session where interested members of the public are invited to learn about our revised application to rezone and subdivide 910 Grand Boulevard into three lots, each with a single family dwelling and secondary suite. The heritage building would be legally protected with parking access from East 9th St. Two lots would front East 9th St with parking accessed from the lane. As part of the revision, there is no longer an accessory coach house nor a detached art studio being proposed. Meeting Location: 910 Grand Blvd. Date: Thursday, September 22, 2016 Time: 6:00-8:00pm

“It was a very life-changing week,” Grace says of the experience. “I was able to really address some ghosts.” On the long drive home, songs started pouring out of her. She had to pull over, sometimes for a couple of hours, sometimes for a whole day, to jot down all her ideas. “I didn’t write all the songs on the road, but I wrote over half of the album,” she says. On her return to B.C., Grace connected with her producer Chris Gestrin and the creative process continued. She recorded the album of self-healing at his home studio in Coquitlam. Golden Thread is undoubtedly her most personal album to date. Blending modern jazz with pop, folk and R&B influences, the 13 confessional songs recount true tales of

love, loss, forgiveness and redemption. Accompanying Grace’s vocals, 20 notable local musicians are featured on the recording, including Gestrin, James Danderfer, Daryl Jahnke, Joel Fountain, André Lachance, Malcolm Aiken, Liam MacDonald, Rod Murray, Shannon Scott and Juhli Conlinn. “We achieved what we set out to do which was to really make this a high-quality sounding album,” she says. “This is a real celebration.” Today, Grace is fully recovered from her jaw surgery and says she came through the experience a stronger singer. “I’m so lucky because I feel like I’m an even better performer now because of what happened,” she says. “To be able to share these songs is really meaningful and fulfilling.”

YOUNG, Roger May 4, 1948 − August 21, 2016

BILLY, Richard ‘Richie’ Moses Sunrise: August 28, 1970 Sunset: September 6, 2016 It is with great sadness we announce the unexpected passing of Richard ‘Richie’ Moses Billy. Richard descends from the Billy/Charlie and Joe/Peters families of Squamish and Lil’wat First Nations. He was born to his late mother Anna (nee Joe) and his father Richard JD Billy on August 28, 1970 in Squamish, BC. Richie can best be remembered for his many years working with youth at North Vancouver Outdoor School and Big House in Paradise Valley (Squamish) where he made many friends and acquaintances over the years and will be deeply missed. Dicky had a giving spirit and even in his passing provided the gift of extended life. His family honored his final request and followed through with his commitment to be an organ donor. He will be deeply missed by his loving father Chief Richard Jack Douglas Billy; sisters Roberta Jacqueline Williams (Henry) and Barbara Lyn Louie (James); sister in law Bernadine Ann Billy (nee: Phillips); and many nieces, nephews, loving relatives and dear friends. As requested by family a private funeral service has been held. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to one of the following charities: Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, Kidney Foundation of Canada, or the Canadian Diabetes Association.

KYLE, Victoria ‘Vikki’ (Nee Nahanee) May 24, 1951 - September 11, 2016 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother, sister. Vikki was born to her late parents Violet (nee Antone) and Arnold Nahanee at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, BC on May 24, 1951. Following a lengthy battle with cancer, surrounded by love of family and friends, she passed away peacefully at Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver. Victoria was raised on Mission IR #1. She attended St. Thomas Aquinas and Capilano College where she received her accounting certificate.

LONGHI, Karen (Kiki) April 16, 1927 − September 11, 2016

WILLIAMS, Priscilla Joan 1925 - 2016 It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Joan Williams. She passed away quietly on August 29th, at the Inglewood Care Centre in West Vancouver. She enjoyed her long life, met its challenges with amazing resilience and equanimity, and felt sincere gratitude for her many blessings. She will be remembered by everyone who knew her for her kindness, generosity, and community contributions. She took great pleasure in her many years of volunteer work with the Vancouver United Ostomy Association and the West Vancouver Seniors’ Activity Centre, working with the wonderful friends she made. Joan was predeceased by her devoted husband of 51 years, Ivor Gordon Williams (d. 2004). She is survived by her two sons, Paul (Merry) and Evan (Val), and their families. She also leaves behind many close and caring extended family members. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

It is with great sadness family have said their final good byes to a wonderful mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and auntie. Predeceased by her loving husband, Eric; sister Lilly and brother− in−law Torlive in Norway; brother Jimmy and his wife, Grethe in Skagen and many good and dear friends. Survived by her three sons − Peter (Sue), Michael (Corinne), Thomas (Georgina), her grandchildren − Sean−Christerfer (Christina) and Nikole, great grandson − Harrison and three step−great grandchildren − Mackenzie, Amy and Jack. Karen had an adventurous and amazing life! Born in Shanghai, China where she spent 14 years, then returned back to Skagen, Denmark with her mother and siblings where Kiki completed her schooling. Artistically gifted, Kiki also found employment as a children’s nurse for the Danish Royal family until upon meeting her husband to−be, Eric. They then immigrated to Canada in 1951 moving first to Richmond, BC and then to Deep Cove, North Vancouver. Eric and Kiki enjoyed many wonderful years together experiencing the North Shore beauty, beaches, forests, and their peaceful settings where they shared afternoon coffees on the back deck. They truly loved their new life in Canada. Kiki’s wishes are for family and friends to enjoy each day with laughter, love and always music to soothe the heart and soul. Family would like to thank West Vancouver Care Centre for their excellent care. Although Kiki’s final eighteen months at the Centre were very health restrictive, she met each day with a smile and kind words for all. Forever our Love − Your Family

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved father, grandfather, and husband, Roger Stephen Young. Roger passed away peacefully on August 21, 2016. Roger spent a happy childhood in Edmonton with his predeceased parents, sister Janet and brother David who survive him. In Vancouver, Roger met and fell in love with his wife of 28 years, Cynthia, and her two children, Samantha and Richard. Together, Roger and Cynthia had three sons, Stephen, James, and Robert, and 6 grandchildren, all of whom survive him. He will be remembered as a dedicated, loving father and grandfather; a devoted husband; and a passionate leader of his family. He will be dearly missed.

The exterior of the 2017 A4 doesn’t look all that much different than the outgoing model, but underneath that outer shell lies high-tech options, a more powerful engine and many other innovations that let you know Audi put a lot of work into their redesign. The A4 is available at Capilano Audi in the Northshore Auto Mall. PHOTO CINDY GOODMAN

High grades for redesigned A4 While it may not be obvious at first glance, Audi’s most popular sedan – the A4 – is allnew for 2017.

Behind The Wheel David Chao

Packed with cutting-edge and class-exclusive technology, the new Audi A4 is more than just a worthy competitor in the luxury sedan market. Rivals such as the BMW 3 Series, MercedesBenz C-Class and Jaguar XE should feel nervous about

the improved Audi. Despite being all-new, the 2017 A4 looks quite similar to the previous generation. Put it another way, the styling took a risk-averse approach – but what’s really important is what it has underneath: advanced high-tech options, a more powerful engine, and many other innovations that will make it a contender for best-in-class.

DESIGN The 2017 Audi A4 is built on the Volkswagen Group’s new large car platform. It shares this architecture with the Audi Q7 and the new, ultra-luxurious Bentley SUV, the Bentayga. The result of using this new structure is that it can offer more space inside the cabin. Wheelbase is a little longer, creating more rear seat legroom and headroom;

the A4 isn’t any taller but the new body design allows the rear seats to be mounted lower. It is also slightly wider, improving the rear seat shoulder room and allowing the A4 to accommodate three adults more comfortably. It is fair to say the exterior design is a little unadventurous, as it’s certainly evolutionary rather than revolutionary. However,

upon closer inspection, it’s apparent no detail was left unchanged. Overall, the character lines are sharper and more angular. The accent along the side boldly runs the entire length of the A4 and the grille and headlights are more defined. The styling changes were not purely cosmetic either.

Turbo engine does not mean magic

Just released this week is the new Nissan Sentra SR Turbo, which takes the regular SR trim of Nissan’s compact sedan and adds on a supercharger. No, wait: a turbocharger.

As this new model has Turbo right in the name, you’d expect some worthy amount of thrust when you stomp on the accelerator – maybe even with some anime-style speed lines and lens-flares. “Turboooo!” you shout as your shiny red Sentra rockets towards the freedom of the weekend. Slow down there SuperSaiyan. The SR Turbo gets essentially the same engine

Grinding Gears Brendan McAleer as that found in the current Juke, a 1.6-litre direct-injection four-cylinder with a turbo bolted on. It makes 188 horsepower and 177 footpounds of torque, and while those are pretty sprightly figures for a small car, they’re

hardly likely to pin you back in your seat like a moon rocket launch. The SR Turbo sounds like a tuner special, but it is in fact just one more turbocharged car in a sea of machinery that’s adopting small-displacement forced-induction engines everywhere you look. The Ford Escape has two turbocharged engine options, and you can get a turbo’d V-6 in your F150 instead of a V-8. The ubiquitous Honda Civic comes with a 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine. The fullsize Mazda CX-9 crossover doesn’t offer anything but a turbocharged four-cylinder

See Turbos page 54

The new Nissan Sentra SR Turbo is one of the latest automotive offerings to get pulses racing with a promise of turbocharged power. In this week’s Grinding Gears column, Brendan McAleer explains exactly what it means to go turbo. PHOTO SUPPLIED

Small changes add up to big improvement

From page 44

Audi claims the A4 is the most aerodynamic in this class, which helps with efficiency and cuts down wind noise. By moving the side mirrors a few inches rearward and mounting them lower, the new design allows the air to pass smoothly along the side of the car and not make any of the whistling sounds that hamper some cars in this segment. While all these details may seem small when taken individually, they all add up to make a big difference and set the Audi A4 apart. PERFORMANCE

The first thing you notice when you start driving the new Audi A4 is how calm and composed it is. While the old A4 wasn’t great at dealing with road imperfections, this new one is much better and smoother. In standard trim, the suspension strikes an excellent balance between comfort and sport. Audi’s drive mode select allows the driver to customize the ride further. If you want the best system, however, the adaptive damping suspension is highly recommended. This system makes the A4 glide over bumps. The shock valves are controlled electronically in accordance with road conditions, driver

control inputs, and the Audi drive select setting. If spirited, sporty driving is more your style, the new A4 is also better in this regard. Steering feel is sharper and more precise, and while some of its rearwheel drive rivals may be more thrilling, the Audi A4 has buttery smooth feel. There’s only one engine option for the 2017 A4, but it is great one. The 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four produces 252 horsepower and 272 foot-pounds of torque, making it capable of accelerating to 100 kilometres per hour in just 6.0 seconds. Power is routed through

TODAY’S DRIVE | A49

Audi A4 interior stylish, comfortable, and loaded From page 46

a seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission, which is world class. The widespread ratios between first and seventh gear reduce fuel consumption. Providing a nice balance of dynamic handling and confidence-inspiring character, Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive system is as good as ever. It is standard fitment on the A4 and distributes torque between the front and rear axles based on driving status, road conditions and driver style. The available adaptive cruise control is a technological wonder. Integrating GPS and other sensors, the system can anticipate corners and slow down for turns if necessary. The only complaint I have is that the test unit came with Hankook tires (a

relatively unknown Korean brand) that were noisier and somewhat bouncier in comparison to the more prestigious Pirelli, Michelin, and Continental tires. ENVIRONMENT The inside of the Audi A4 is stylish and loaded with futuristic technology. The dash has been simplified and the main controls are all easy to use. Starting with the basics, the front seats are highly comfortable and material quality is first rate. As mentioned, the larger exterior dimensions improve rear seat comfort, and the A4 is now possibly the best in this class in this area. Trunk space is also very good, and the wide opening and low floor height make it easy to load and unload. Audi didn’t forget about incar storage either, as there

are many convenient options throughout the cabin to place your everyday items. In the new A4, the centre display screen has been moved higher up on the dash and the rotary controller is now in front of the shifter. The infotainment system has been improved as entering commands is a breeze and the processor is very quick. Surprisingly, the

Audi moved the centre display screen up in the new A4, providing an infotainment system that is easy to use and very quick. PHOTOS CINDY GOODMAN

“start engine” button is a bit of stretch in terms of its location – at least for me. Standard on the A4 is an analog gauge cluster separated by a screen that displays the basic info a driver needs to know. If you want to take a massive leap into the future, however, you can upgrade to Audi’s impressive virtual cockpit. This system makes all the gauges digital and the instrument panel fully customizable. One example of what is possible is the ability to minimize the gauges and allow Google Maps – complete with satellite view – to take over the entire display. Not only is the new Audi A4 highly comfortable, the available tech makes every drive an exciting experience. FEATURES The 2017 Audi A4 is available in three trim levels with

starting prices ranging from $43,200 to $50,600. Standard equipment includes push-button start, automatic climate control, heated front seats, heated exterior mirrors, autodimming interior mirror, rain and light sensor, Bluetooth, a power glass sunroof, and a start/stop system. Additional features, available as options or on higher trims, include heated steering wheel, rear-view camera, top-view camera, front and rear parking sensors, autodimming exterior mirrors, foot-activated trunk release, LED headlights, and a Bang & Olufsen sound system. Fuel economy numbers (litres/100 kilometres) are 9.8 city, 7.7 highway, for 8.8 combined. THUMBS UP The 2017 Audi A4 is an improvement over the

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2016

Turbos have pros and cons like any other engine From page 45 engine. Luxury makers like Mercedes and BMW hardly offer any model that doesn’t include at least a couple of turbos. Everybody gets turbos these days, and I’m not so sure that’s a good thing. First, a little lesson as to what a turbocharger is, if you’re sitting there saying, “But my accounting software is called TurboTax and it seems OK.” Turbocharger is actually a contraction of turbosupercharger, a term used to describe any device that is capable of force-feeding air into an engine by using a turbine mounted in the exhaust stream. Hot gases flow out of the exhaust manifold, spinning a bladed fan. That fan is connected by a shaft to an impeller, the impeller rams more air into the engine. Add more fuel to match the increased amount of oxygen you’ve managed to compress in there, and stand well back: power! Why would you want to do such a thing? An engine is essentially an air pump, so packing more air and fuel into a cylinder before you ignite things with a sparkplug means you’ll get more power from the combustion. Because a turbocharger spins up as the throttle is pressed down, that means you can get away with a smaller displacement engine when you’re just cruising along. Smaller displacement is more efficient. Stricter fuel economy standards that are on the way require more efficiency, hence goodbye naturally aspirated BMW inline-six, and hello turbocharged BMW four cylinder. However, that’s how things work on paper, not in the real world. In the real world, you aren’t just asking your engine to make power for the onramp, you’re speeding up and slowing down with the ebb and flow of traffic. That means you’re likely dipping into the boost zone more than the current fuel economy testing methods measure, and that means you’re using more fuel. Further, turbocharged cars are often tuned to run rich as the boost pressure rises. Cramming all that air in there can lead to pre-ignition,

or knock, and spraying a little extra fuel both combats the effect and reduces cylinder temperatures as it evaporates. If you rev up a naturally aspirated engine, things are a little more tightly controlled. While annoyances like turbo-lag (the hesitation while the turbine spools up to provide power) have been greatly reduced, the tendency of turbocharged cars to drink more fuel than the figures on the window sticker would indicate will be a problem for many consumers. The person who’s interested in an SR Turbo might not mind – they might be after the sportiest version of a roomy compact sedan, and won’t mind burning a little more fuel. If you’re in the market for a WRX or a Golf R, you probably won’t care either. Power trumps efficiency. However, if you’re just looking for a regular-grade family car that’ll handle the daily commute and return both good economy and better efficiency, the new age of turbocharging comes with a few asterisks attached. Not only will real world fuel consumption differ from official measurements, and depend heavily on driving style, but there’s also the question of reliability. While your turbocharged car isn’t going to explode spontaneously (hopefully), it’s a more complex powerplant than a simple four or six cylinder. That means potential turbine replacement down the road – hopefully after you’ve traded it in, but if you keep your cars for ten years or more, it’s something to be aware of. Turbo means fast, sure. It’s what the marketing teams want you to think. However, as the technology becomes ever more prevalent, just remember that there’s no magic going on here, just manufacturers trying to jump through regulatory hoops. It might be a new dawn for the prevalence of turbocharging, but it’s the same ol’ game behind the curtain.
