$550M in affordable housing welcomed JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com
With vacancy rates hovering at less than one per cent and skyrocketing rents fast outpacing what many people can pay, housing advocates are hopeful that a provincial funding injection for affordable housing will see tangible results on the North Shore.

This week, the province announced it will earmark $500 million towards affordable rental housing in B.C. The money will go to creating 2,900 new rental units to be built in partnership with non-profit societies, local governments and the private sector. The money is in addition to $355 million for rental housing announced earlier this year to create 2,000 rental units.

Foreign-buyer real estate deals plunge
JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com
Figures released by the province on Thursday appear to confirm what many local Realtors already knew – that interest from foreign buyers in the real estate market has fallen significantly since the province imposed a 15 per cent tax on deals involving foreign citizens.
According to data released by the government, real estate transactions involving foreign buyers made up about 13 per cent of the total number and 16 per cent of the total value changing hands between June 1 and Aug. 2 in Metro Vancouver. Following imposition of the 15 per cent tax, sales to foreigners fell dramatically, making up less than one per cent of all real estate deals in Metro Vancouver between Aug. 2 - 31.
Data shows drastic drop in home purchases by offshore buyers since tax imposed in August
The data also points to an astonishing number of deals being registered on July 29 – the last business day before the tax came into effect. Government data points to more than $850 million in residential property transitions involving foreign buyers in Metro Vancouver being registered on that single day – equal to over half of all real estate transactions in Metro Vancouver on that day and half of all foreign investment in real estate between June 10 and Aug. 1. Data provided by the Landcor Data Corporation, which analyzes real estate data – showed more sales for single detached homes were registered for West Vancouver during
July than in any other month going back to January 2013. “Everybody had that last week to rush and get their deals done,” said Brent Eilers, a West Vancouver Realtor. Since then, however, sales of detached homes in West Vancouver have dropped massively. “It’s the top end of the market that’s being significantly impacted (by the 15 per cent tax),” said Eilers. The foreign buyers tax, combined with the luxury sales tax and the crackdown on “shadow flipping” by the province have all combined for a significant cooling in West Vancouver’s recently white-hot real estate market, said Eilers. Sales of detached homes in West Vancouver during June, July and August are down 44 per cent over the same period last year, he said – although down only 28 per cent over the 10-year average.

TREVOR LAUTENS: TEARS FOR A CHAMPION LIMPING TO THE FINISH LINE PAGE 8
Charities threatened by deal gone bad Non-profits on hook for costly leases for office equipment BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
A host of non-profits on the North Shore are on the hook for tens of thousands of dollars after leases for office equipment went badly awry.
The North Shore Multicultural Society, the North Shore Women’s Centre, Family Services of the North Shore, the North Vancouver branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association and the North Shore Schizophrenia Society have all been left holding hefty contracts after the business that brokered their leases shut down and the owner disappeared. Each had leased printers and photocopiers through a Burnaby-based business called Docusystems Integration Inc. The societies allege Docusystems owner Ryan Peek encouraged the non-profits to sign leases with two other companies De Lage Landen Financial Services Canada Inc. and GE Commercial Distribution Finance Canada. GE Commercial was later purchased be Wells Fargo Equipment Finance. The non-profits said Peek convinced them to sign up on the promise that Docusystems would issue post-dated “rebate” cheques covering much or all of the lease payments. The system worked for years but, starting in June, Docusystems cheques started bouncing and Peek disappeared, according to the groups. In July, the non-profits received a letter
Michelle Dodds of the North Shore Women’s Centre with a photocopier they can no longer afford. from Docusystems saying the business was closing, in most cases with the charities having preauthorized payments being automatically debited from their accounts. “We’re paying almost $1,200 a month for this machine,” said Michelle Dodds, executive director of the women’s centre. “That’s about eight per cent of our annual budget. If we have to pay that money every year … it’s going to affect our programs and our staffing and our services that we provide in the community. We’re in a little bit of a desperate situation.” Next hardest hit is FSNS, which still owes $21,000 over the next three years. The schizophrenia society is out $12,000. The CMHC branch fared better than the others and owes just $3,752.
All are now trying to figure out how to deal with holes left in their budgets. “We can absorb a little extra but our budgets are extremely tight, as are any non-profit’s,” said Vivian Martin, director of finance for Family Services. “Any extra, unknown operating expense that we’re going to be suddenly saddled with means money will be taken away from programming to the community. That’s the bottom line.” The loss is particularly disheartening, given how hard it is for non-profits to raise money, said Nancy Ford, executive director of the Schizophrenia Society. “Fifty per cent of our revenue comes from families’ donations. These are families dealing with serious mental illness – schizophrenia, bipolar

disorder, anxiety, depression, suicide, etc. They come to us. We support them and give them information,” she said. “How do we look after our non-profits? A big chunk of their time is just trying to find funding. It’s always the biggest challenge.” Docusystems is now in bankruptcy proceedings. Wells Fargo learned that Docusystems had closed only when its disgruntled customers began calling, according to documents filed in court by Wells Fargo’s lawyers. “Some of the photocopiers in the possession of the (customers) have serial numbers that do not match the model of the photocopiers actually described in the leasing agreements and in many of these cases, the monthly rental payment that was being made
by the (customer) was for an amount significantly higher than the market value of the photocopier actually delivered,” the claim states. “To make up for the monthly payments that were grossly inflated or for equipment that was no longer in possession of the clients, the respondent appears to have established a scheme where some retail customers were receiving full or partial ‘donations’ and/or ‘rebates’ from (Docusystems). In some cases, retail customers were authorized to proceed with automatic monthly debits in the respondent’s bank account in order to ‘top up’ inflated rent payments or to cover the fictitious rent payments to be made in connection with nonexistent units.” Docusystems appears to
have targeted charities and religious organizations under the auspices of being “philanthropists who wish to give back to the community,” the claim continues. The RCMP executed a search warrant and seized all of the books, records and computers related to the case. Reached for comment, Cpl. Scott Schumann, Surrey RCMP spokesman, said “the investigation is still ongoing.” “There’s a tremendous number of interviews that they’ve taken already and they’re sifting through those,” he said. As of late July, 61 customers with a total of $2.4 million in outstanding lease obligations have contacted Wells Fargo about the irregularities. A group of 35 of them have hired a lawyer and are threatening a class action lawsuit against Wells Fargo. “As appears from the foregoing and unbeknownst to (Wells Fargo), (Docusystems) was engaged in highly questionable and most likely illegal business practices,” the claim states. The Burnaby office was found vacated with only a few older photocopiers left behind and the cellphone number Peek provided to clients had been disconnected. While the inner workings of Docusystem’s business remain confounding to the non-profits, it’s less important than how they’re going to deal with the leases. Dodds and the others have pleaded their cases to both companies. De Lage Landen offered to lower the women’s centre’s monthly bill – but then also lengthen the contract. “So really in the end, we’re paying exactly the same amount,” Dodds said. Peek’s lawyer declined to comment. Wells Fargo and De Lage Landen did not respond to a request for comment.
Passenger train with stop in Squamish needed: mayor MICHAELA GARSTIN / SQUAMISH CHIEF michaela@squamishchief.com
The possibility of a passenger train once again linking North Vancouver and Prince George – with a stop in Squamish – has been discussed for years but is now a priority for the council and mayor of Squamish.
Mayor Patricia Heintzman and all six members of council are attending the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Victoria next week to put forward a resolution for the return of passenger rail service through Squamish, which was stopped in 2002. “We need to start thinking of trains again due to climate change and the environment,” Heintzman told The Squamish
Chief. “They have less emissions per person than a car.” The end of passenger train service between North Vancouver and Prince George caused serious damage to community life, tourism and the economy of the communities on the route, including Squamish, according to the resolution that will be debated at the convention next week. The provincial government
provides written comments after the debate takes place. Transporting people by train would also free up space on the Sea to Sky Highway, Heintzman said. “If we can take, say, 20 per cent of the traffic with an alternative, we can extend the life of the highway,” she said. “There has been no interest at the provincial level to discuss this. Instead there is a focus
on bigger highways and not alternative options. The UBCM will get this discussion out there.” In the past, UBCM members have supported expanding rail networks in B.C., including the creation of an electric rail network that would provide passenger and freight service between urban centres. Local government from all
regions of the province will gather at the UBCM convention, which runs Sept. 26-30. The goal of the convention is for communities of all sizes to come together, share their experiences and take a united position. Their concerns are brought to other orders of government and organizations involved in local affairs. The ultimate result is supposed to improve the communities.

More condos coming to busy commercial strip Area changing as auto dealers, repair shops relocate JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com
For at least one resident, the concern wasn’t what goes up, but what goes in.
City of North Vancouver council unanimously approved a four-storey 44-unit residential building at 711 West 14th St., bordered by Marine Drive and Bewicke Avenue – but for neighbour Michael Kershaw, the major concern was the building’s commercial component. “We’re kind of a dying community. We don’t need any more furniture stores. We’re really OK on furniture stores within a stone’s throw,” he said. “If I could urge, persuade or suggest … a coffee shop, a gastropub, a neighbourhood pub.” The building’s six commercial spaces could accommodate a coffee shop or restaurant in addition to a variety of businesses, according to city staff. In order to create an economic argument for a pub or a coffee shop, the area may need to become slightly more populous, according to Coun. Craig Keating, who suggested a loosening of the city’s rules. “The tragedy here I think is the restrictive character of our zoning,” he explained. “This is a residential zone and thou shalt not sell anything

in residential zone, because it could lead to card playing and dancing, I guess.” Kershaw’s urgings seemed to resonate with council, with Coun. Don Bell discussing the drawbacks of an abundance of furniture stores and financial offices. “They can kill a street sometimes if there’s too many of them.” With car dealerships relocating and repair shops permanently lowering their hoists, the thoroughfare is “evolving into a vibrant, mixed-use neighbourhood,” according to a city staff report. But while Marine Drive has been about moving cars to and from car-oriented businesses, Coun. Linda Buchanan was optimistic the area could be revamped, citing examples of “car dominant” cities that managed to
“pedestrianize” themselves by creating a public realm and slowing traffic. Marine Drive’s residents are still primarily drivers, according to Kershaw. “I know it’s council’s objective to get us out of our cars … we’re really not there. We’re close, but we’re not there.” The developments consist of 20 studio and one-bedroom units, 21 two-bedroom units and three three-bedroom units. Rezoning the site from service commercial to comprehensive development would mean the developer would pay the city a density bonus of $456,049, with 80 per cent of the money earmarked for the civic amenity reserve fund and the rest going to the city’s affordable housing reserve fund. The developer has also agreed to pay $76,000 to the city’s public art program. At just a shade less than 50 feet tall, the building’s 4,674 square feet gives it a floor space ratio of 2.0, which measures the area’s total floor space against its lot size. Coun. Pam Bookham lauded the developer for designing a “very attractive building,” as well as not seeking the “maximum possible density.” “I think it’s the right place for the density,” said Mayor Darrell Mussatto, mentioning the site’s proximity to the soon-to-be completed Spirit Trail. The project needs one more vote to be officially adopted by council.

Adapted housing, student rentals a priority in NV
From page 1
Projects will be targeted at low to moderate income rents, seniors, students and adults with development disabilities among other groups. The province wants projects approved by March 2017, with construction completed three years after that. “On the face of it it’s a wonderful thing,” said Don Peters, chairman of the Community Housing Action Committee for the North Shore Community Resources Society. That amount of
money “packs a pretty good wallop,” he said. But he added the devil will be in the details, especially including convincing municipalities to donate land towards the projects. “The trick is always the magic piece of land,” he said. “If there’s no land it’s almost unreachable.” Peters said sometimes municipalities are loath to give up their land. “They seem to feel they should be saving it for a rainy day,” he said. Average people earning
median incomes of between $35,000 and $55,000 are a critical demographic in need of help finding affordable rentals, Peters added. “We need a workforce that can live here and who don’t clog up our roads (with long commutes),” he said. District of North Vancouver Mayor Richard Walton agreed. “The service sector doesn’t pay that well,” he said. “Now the rents are beyond what a lot of people can consider.” Housing for Capilano University students and
provision for adults with disabilities are also priorities on the North Shore, said Walton. “They are a group that is extremely vulnerable to the rising rents in this community.” The District of North Vancouver council recently moved forward on a plan to create affordable rental housing on a five-lot parcel of municipally owned land on Oxford and Orwell streets, asking staff to start looking for a partner in the non-profit sector. Peters said he hopes the
funding announcement will prompt other local governments to step up with more proposals. “West Vancouver is sitting on a nice piece (of property) at 22nd and Marine,” he said. Citizens who took part in a dialogue session on the future of the Delbrook lands in the District of North Vancouver also identified non-market housing as an option to consider there. The province has indicated it wants to create the rental housing by a combination of purpose-built
affordable rental projects and buying units in existing market developments. West Vancouver Capilano MLA Ralph Sultan said he favours projects that integrate low income housing into the rest of the community. “We have low income housing in West Vancouver that people don’t know about,” he said. Projects targeting low to moderate income earners would include anyone with a household income of less than $96,000 a year, according to B.C. Housing.
Buyers take ‘wait and see’ approach, Realtor says
From page 1
Average prices on single-family homes in West Vancouver also dropped about 20 per cent between July and August, he said. Jason Soprovich, another West Vancouver Realtor, said the market has definitely cooled – something that began before the 15 per cent foreign buyers’ tax was brought in. Buyers are waiting to see what happens, he said. “It definitely put the brakes on people purchasing immediately.” West Vancouver MLA Ralph Sultan said he’s received well over 100 emails on the topic – all but three or four of those from unhappy real estate agents. One Realtor said “he just
saw $400,000 in commissions going down the road,” said Sultan. “The industry as a whole is quite upset.” Sultan said the tax has definitely had a chilling effect – which is what was intended. He added nobody will likely know the full impact of the tax before next spring, however. “To reach dramatic conclusions based on one or two weeks of data is highly premature.” Sultan said he believes that in the long-term, interest in the Vancouver real estate market isn’t going away. He added polls show the foreign buyers’ tax is a popular move with the public at large. “My sense of it is it has accomplished its purpose,” he said.

est Vancouver council and development company Westbank have agreed on a novel approach for the marketing of a sizeable new condo project in Horseshoe Bay. People who live or work in West Van will be given first crack when pre-sales start and all buyers must sign a pledge declaring they will live there and not flip the unit for profit. This after the developer was caught red-handed soliciting interest in the units in Hong Kong before council had even held its public hearing. It’s probably not enforceable, at least not without a protracted battle in the courts, but all the same, we applaud them both for finding this “locals first” compromise. The development industry has insisted all along that in order to cool local housing prices, we simply had to build more condos. But if there’s an insatiable
demand for would-be homes as investment commodities, no boost in supply will make a difference. The point may be moot though, with B.C.’s new foreign buyers tax apparently having its intended effect. The most recent stats show the number of foreign buyers in the market spiked on July 29 and then fell off a cliff on Aug. 2. And government says it is scrutinizing plenty of deals to ensure there isn’t any tax sleight of hand happening. However, if a class action lawsuit against the foreign buyer tax succeeds, the locals-first model will be our best protection from speculators eager to reestablish their grip on the housing market. That’s just one of the reasons we hope the locals-first model becomes a template for other developments in other municipalities. We remain very much in a housing affordability crisis and it’s time we found a made-at-home solution.
Tears for a champion limping to the finish

called him “my little boy” and “my youngest son.” When we “talked” I called myself “Dad.” Millions of dog owners are too embarrassed to admit the same, with variants. All dogs are equal, but some are more equal than others. Yours and mine. A conservative estimate: In our seven years together, more than 5,000 people and groups in West Vancouver stared, stopped, and suspended their own worries and secret cares to ask — usually “Has he got a sore foot?” — about my little lame dog, Kaylan. I’d explain: In early youth Kaylan fell from the window of a swerving vehicle and was hit by a car. His left front leg was badly injured. He limped on two toes and a bone end, and a section of the leg, under the fur, sickeningly looked like a cooked chicken leg.

put him down. One day Meek filled in for West Vancouver vet Dr. Neil Cropper, and brought Kaylan with her. My younger daughter Berta, between university years, was working at Cropper’s Hollyburn Veterinary Hospital. Coincidentally, my wife and elder daughter Kate dropped in to see Berta. Talk about a roll of the cosmic dice. It was love at first sight — three sights — for this hopping, tough little dog, a schnoodle, a schnauzer-poodle cross, new term to me. The phone call. “Dad, he’s so cute — can we have him? We all love him.” Stern response. “Berta, in September you’re going back to Guelph, Kate to Victoria, Mom back teaching — who do you think is going to be left looking after this dog?” Besides, we already had
a dog, Booker, an amiable Labrador cross — soon to be dominated by this fearless, pushy little newcomer. For of course I caved. It soon became clear that on our walks it was Kaylan who caught people’s eyes. He could hobble on his bad leg but not bend it. So when he ran, determined little lion’s head bobbing — hop, hop, his progress almost as much vertical as horizontal — he held his injured leg straight out, as if affably waving to approaching people. If I detected they were not only compassionate but had a sense of humour, I claimed we’d taught him to do that — “and don’t think it wasn’t a hell of a job.” Lameness apart, Kaylan was like every other dog — unexceptional yet unique. He slept at the foot of the bed, in winter on it. He snoozed on the
office couch while I worked. He was the only creature on Earth eager to be with me 24 hours a day. He had only one cute trick. We tried to break him of it. Couldn’t. When a family member came home, Kaylan would rush to the door. After a hysterically happy greeting, he’d charge upstairs to a bedroom, seize a slipper, sometimes two, in his tiny mouth, and proudly prance into the living room, where he spoiled the trick by holding on while we pleaded with him — “Kaylan, drop!” Stubbornly, he refused, his plumed helicopter tail circling. When I was perched in the only room in the house where I knew exactly what I was doing, he’d push the door open, and I’d cup my hands around his whiskery muttonchop face and look into his loving eyes.

insist this is anthropomorphic — attributing human characteristics to the nonhuman — but dog (and cat) people know better. Pascal, great 17th-century mathematician, great Christian, wisely wrote: La coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point, “The heart has its reasons that reason does not know.” Kaylan was put to sleep last month. He had kidney failure. In his last days, and in the weeks since, I knew my abject grief was ambiguous. Some was for him. But it was also for the self-pitying survivor in the mirror. How could this little bit of life fill so much space in a big house, bring compassion and a smile to the lips of thousands of passing strangers, and hop valiantly on three legs into every corner of an old man’s heart? rtlautens@gmail.com

Is the science clear on climate change? In an attempt to celebrate and subvert Science Literacy Week, we hit Marine Drive for an extremely unscientific survey of the scientific acumen of North Shore residents. Forty per cent of Canadians believe the science on climate change is unclear, according to the Ontario Science Centre. However, 80 per cent of the respondents in our exhaustive, 35-minute study concluded that we the people are having some impact on the climate. We can deny ourselves another drink, Sasquatch, and bail, but not climate change. — Jeremy Shepherd

NSN STORY, LETTER OR EDITORIAL COMMENT: Mandatory Licensing for Cyclists Will Help Road Safety (Sept. 18 Mailbox) winkybiker: Shelley, I’d love to think that there are “no consequences for a cyclist.” Being run down by a motorist, or having the motorist open their door into my path will most certainly have consequences for me as a cyclist. Likely much more significant (to me, at least) than the “dent” you seem so concerned about. Consequences for cyclists can be tragic. Licensing won’t change this and has been demonstrated to be completely inefficient and unworkable. You should perhaps even be thankful that cyclists are removing some of the burden on our transport and health infrastructure. Arno S: I will try to answer some of Shelagh’s questions/ concerns: Re: insurance: Anyone who harms another person through negligence is responsible for their actions. The only reason that drivers are obliged to carry insurance is that claims often exceed an individual’s ability to pay the claim. Evidence shows that

PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH people riding bikes cause little harm to others, so insurance would be an unnecessary burden. Also, a person’s apartment or house insurance often covers damage caused by a bike rider. Licensing of bicycles or riders is extremely rare and costs often greatly outweigh benefits. Why should it be different here? Bike lanes and roads are mostly paid for by property taxes. People riding bikes actually subsidize drivers, so I would not rock the boat on this issue if you would like to
take advantage of the current situation. “Dooring” of people riding bikes is the cause of about 25% of injuries and deaths of people riding bikes in crashes with motor vehicles. Drivers and passengers opening doors are obliged to endure that they can do so safely and are 100% at fault when a “dooring” occurs. I find it quite disturbing that you are more interested in the dent than in the condition of the person riding the bike. People have been killed in “dooring” incidents. Please don’t blame the victim.

NEWSBRIEFS MAN DIES ON GROUSE GRIND A 60-year-old man is dead following an apparent heart attack on the Grouse Grind. The man had made it to the 14th trail marker, or roughly one-third of the way up, when he collapsed around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday. District of North Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services, North Vancouver RCMP, Metro Vancouver staff and BC Ambulance Service all responded, and an off-duty physician did CPR but the man but was pronounced dead at the scene. North Shore Rescue was flying to the scene with a doctor and nurse at the time. The rescue volunteers then long-lined the body out to their Capilano Gate search and rescue station where it was turned over to the B.C. Coroners Service, which is now in charge of investigating the death. It’s the second time this summer a man in his 60s has died on “Mother Nature’s StairMaster.” There have been eight deaths on
the trail since 2011, according to the coroner, all of them involving men age 50 to 70. – Brent Richter

SATURDAY CONCERT SET TO AID SYRIAN REFUGEES In an effort to help two Syrian families transition from a refugee camp to the North Shore, a collection of seven local churches is scheduled to stage a dinner concert at North Lonsdale United Church Saturday. Composed of 15 people, the two families are currently waiting for extraction from a refugee camp in northern Iraq. The North Shore United Refugee Response has committed to sponsoring both families and supporting them “materially, emotionally, practically, and financially,” for at least one year, according to NSURR Project Manager Ingeborg Brown. The group has so far raised almost $105,000, according to Brown. The concert is scheduled to include performances from

BRIGHTLIGHTS! by Ann Hamilton Education foundation tea Proud smiles abounded with good reason in the North Vancouver school district offices Sept. 11 for the North Vancouver High School Education Foundation’s annual tea. The event was held to honour this year’s scholarship and bursary recipients. A total of 46 awards with a value of approximately $57,000 were provided to local secondary school graduates to help support their post secondary educations, hopes and dreams. It was a quaint affair with tea and cake enjoyed by students, parents, friends and foundation board members, who were delighted to meet the students and their guests in person and to introduce some of the generous donors who made the financial awards possible. Foundation board president Barb McKinley gave a welcoming address and North Vancouver school district assistant superintendent Pius Ryan added to the atmosphere with his commentary.

David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust re-interpreted at Kay Meek

Ziggy Stardust was as real as rock ‘n’ roll, but he was a race of one.
While other rock stars ventured forth from places like Tupelo and Liverpool, David Bowie imagined a longer commute for the starman who fell to Earth. More than 40 years after Bowie killed Ziggy, (the fate of the Spiders from Mars remains unknown), rock ‘n’ roll’s most
famous alter ego is set for resurrection Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 at the Kay Meek Centre. The show – more revival than retread – is orchestrated by singer, songwriter and producer Steve Dawson. For guitar-connoisseur Dawson, (he still sports a scar from a childhood dancing accident involving a Long John Baldry record) it took a Fender Stratocaster with a slab rosewood fingerboard to lead him to Bowie’s brand of iconoclastic pop. “There was no avoiding (‘Let’s Dance’),” he recalls. “It was a huge record.” The early ‘80s radio staple featured guitar work from Stevie Ray Vaughan, which piqued Dawson’s interest. He reached deeper into Bowie’s catalogue and found The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars,
an 11-track musical landscape of pomp and circumvention released in 1972. “The hallmark is all that crazy, romping guitar stuff,” Dawson says. But for the Kay Meek performance, most of those guitar parts will be transmuted into horns and mandolins. While the change might “tick off a few hardcore Bowie fans,” Dawson explains the concert isn’t a tribute act. “While we are paying tribute to Bowie, we’re really trying to interpret music,” he says. “We’re kind of stripping the songs down to their bare bones.” Speaking from Nashville, Dawson describes an “instrumental western swing” version of ‘Ziggy Stardust,’ and John

The place was lousy with leather, an intimate, Roman Colosseum-type crowd of bikers who probably seemed like they’d pulled off the road to fortify themselves before the next felony. Brent Butt’s amiable brand of coffee shop humour wasn’t going over. For most comedians, a crowd’s silence in the face of a good punchline is about as terrifying as it gets, it means any control they might have had has turned into a rope of sand. But it can be so much worse. “I was in a green sweater,” Butt says, recalling the bush

bar somewhere between Toronto and Hamilton. He was about 15 minutes into a scheduled 45 when one of the bikers stood up. “One guy actually walked up to the foot of the stage, pulled out a bowie knife, pointed it at me, and then dragged it across his throat,” he remembers. That was when Butt first asked if he would be murdered for not being funny. “I just said to the guy: ‘That’s not an overreaction to you?’” He exited the stage to find the bar’s “livid,” 6-10 owner. The owner didn’t mind the comedian cutting his set short, but he was enraged these funny boys still expected to be paid in full. “I just thought we should cut it short or you’re going to have the police in here investigating the disappearance of two comedians,” Butt says. “They’re going to have a forensic unit in here looking for our blood.” After agreeing to get paid half the money, Butt found the back door and left through the kitchen. It’s the only kind of show that bothers him, he explains. “Just bombing, that never bothered me. You can always get ‘em tomorrow.” Speaking from Los Angeles the day after attending the Emmy’s (incidentally: the peanut butter and jelly
sandwiches were appreciated, but “a little dry”) Butt is amiable as ever as he talks about his Saturday night show at Centennial Theatre. The performance is a benefit for the North Shore Disability Resource Centre, which helps people with disabilities get health care, housing, and jobs. Butt will be telling jokes for the Centre, something he’s been doing as long as he could talk “The youngest child in any family is always a jokemaker, because a joke is the only way he can enter into an adult conversation,” wrote Kurt Vonnegut, himself a younger brother. If there are comedic benefits to be reaped by the baby of a family, then Butt enjoyed a considerable advantage as the youngest of seven children growing up in Tisdale, Sask. “For me, the high watermark was trying to make my older brothers and sisters laugh, because they would never give it up very easily to their dopey little brother. If you could make them laugh, you knew it was legit.” Butt remembers seeing a stand-up comedian for the first time when he was 12. “I was just hooked. I went and told my mom: ‘I’m going to be a stand-up comedian.’” Butt had his first stand-up gig in Saskatoon in 1988. He’s rarely stopped since. “It’s where I’m most comfortable, really. I feel like that’s the hour of the day where I know what I’m supposed to be doing. The rest of the day is confusion.”

New novel set in Bombay’s red-light district
Anosh Irani grew up close to ‘theatrical’ neighbourhood ! Anosh Irani, part of Word Vancouver’s An Array of Fiction, Sunday, Sept. 25 at 11:40 a.m. at Library Square. Free. For more information visit wordvancouver.ca. ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com
“Sometimes stories will disturb you and it’s OK,” says North Vancouver novelist and playwright Anosh Irani, reached Tuesday by the North Shore News.
“That’s what literature is for,” the award-winning scribe goes on to say. “It’s there to cause some sort of dent in your thinking, some sort of shift in your consciousness. It’s not there to make you comfortable, it’s there to move you.” Irani has just released his latest work of fiction, The Parcel, chronicling the experiences of protagonist Madhu, a transgender sex worker in Kamathipura, the notorious red-light district of Bombay, who is given an unexpected task: prepare a “parcel” (a young girl from the provinces, betrayed and trafficked by her aunt) for its fate. While the novel – Irani’s fourth to date and a follow to 2010’s Dahanu Road – shines a light on a world vastly
North Vancouver writer Anosh Irani will speak at the main downtown library on Sunday, Sept. 25 at 11:40 a.m. as part of Word Vancouver. PHOTO SUPPLIED GLEN D’MELLO
different from that of a typical North American reader, that’s not to say they’ll struggle to find common ground. One major theme Irani says he hopes readers walk away with is the importance of acceptance. “Sometimes people are forced to operate in the shadows and create a subculture because mainstream society has not been able to accept them,” he says. “We all feel lost when we are rejected. It’s just the
degree of difficulty varies, but eventually all human beings need hope, all human beings need acceptance. That’s what I realized during the writing of this book,” he adds. The seeds for The Parcel were planted when Irani was a young boy growing up in his native India. “I was born very close to the red-light district in Bombay,” he says. “As a child I was very intrigued by what I saw. It was very theatrical.
The place had a different mood, it had a different feel or tempo to it. I couldn’t express what I was feeling in words because I was too young and I didn’t understand the images that I was seeing. But they definitely had some sort of impact on me. Then when I moved from that locality, maybe when I was seven or eight years old, the red-light district was still something that I passed through to get to various parts of the city. I would ride my motorcycle, I would pass through there. I was in touch with it in the way one would observe something but it had a strange draw to it and I was also very haunted by the things that I saw there over the years, and inspired, which is why I chose to write about it.” Experiencing what you’re writing about firsthand is integral to any writing project, says Irani. “I think literature really comes from the streets. If you are not in direct contact with what you’re writing about, if you’re one step removed from it, it doesn’t work for me. That’s something that I’ve been doing for years,” he says. While Irani is currently based in North Vancouver, he spends a lot of time in his hometown, of course to visit family and friends, but also to inform his writing. Irani went one step further in his research for The Parcel and conducted a number of interviews with subjects ranging from sex workers, employees and
volunteers of non-governmental organizations, and transgender people. In addition, he read countless works of non-fiction profiling the red-light district as well as the “hijra” (neither man nor woman) community. After spending so many years on the writing of the book, Irani says it’s a strange feeling to finally have it out there. “I still feel that somewhere I’m still immersed in that world. The novel is done for me but because I’ve been immersed in the world of The Parcel for so many years, I still feel connected to that. The book is out there, but I’m very much connected to the characters in the novel still,” he says. While just released this month, The Parcel is already making waves. On Wednesday, it was shortlisted for the Writers’ Trust of Canada Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize. Fellow finalists include Michael Helm for After James, Kerry Lee Powell for Willem de Kooning’s Paintbrush, Yasuko Thanh for Mysterious Fragrance of the Yellow Mountains and Katherena Vermette for The Break. The winner will be announced Nov. 2. In addition, the release has earned Irani, who also serves as a visiting professor and writer-in-residence in Simon Fraser University’s world literature program, a number of invitations to upcoming fall writers and readers festivals. This weekend, he’ll make his debut at Word Vancouver,
Western Canada’s largest celebration of literacy and reading. The festival kicked off Wednesday and will run through Sunday, the main festival day, which takes place at Vancouver’s Library Square and offers a host of programing from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., including exhibitors, author readings, entertainment, workshops and panels. Next month, Irani is set to appear at Calgary’s Wordfest, the Whistler Writers Festival, the Vancouver Writers Fest and the Ottawa International Writers Festival. After spending so many months in solitude putting pen to paper on his recent work, Irani says he truly enjoys these opportunities to engage with the public. “You’re actually in touch with the people who read your work. I enjoy doing readings, I enjoy doing panels. It’s the only time I really meet other writers as well. It’s precisely the isolation that makes this all the more enjoyable: You are away for a few years and then it’s great to meet other writers and then go back into your cave and start working again,” he says. In February 2017, Irani will be celebrating yet another release, the opening of his latest work of theatre, The Men In White at the Arts Club Theatre Company’s Granville Island Stage. The play, set in a chicken slaughterhouse in Bombay and the dressing room of a cricket club in Vancouver, tells the story

Bowie conceptualized an alien rock messiah
From page 13
Reischman and Trisha Gagnon’s bluegrass-hued rendition of “Starman.” Other tunes should have a sound like Stax R&B, he says. “There’s a lot of layered guitars (on the album), but if you strip all the production off of what’s there, they’re kind of soul tunes.” For Dawson, Ziggy Stardust is doubly impressive considering Bowie was only 25 when he recorded it. “What would make you put in a bridge in a totally different key, in a totally different time signature?” Dawson asks. “But he seemed to be quite comfortable doing things like that.” While the album’s transsexual soul is pure Bowie, the Ziggy character owes a debt to rockabilly cats like The Legendary Stardust Cowboy and “Brand New Cadillac” singer Vince Taylor There were stories about Taylor, that in the mid1960s he once eschewed his customary black leather for white robes, which he deemed the proper attire for telling his audience he was the son of God. In terms of public relations it was a misstep. But Bowie grokked
CONTEST Steve Dawson and company will perform Bowie’s music at Kay Meek Centre on Sept.30 and Oct. 1. Enter to win two tickets to the opening night of Ziggy Stardust at nsnews. com/contests
Photographer Brian Ward shot the album cover for The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars in January 1972 in front of K. West furriers at No. 23 Heddon Street, a small, quiet side-street and alleyway off Regent Street in the heart of London, close to Piccadilly Circus. ARTWORK SUPPLIED BRIAN WARD PHOTOGRAPH something else, something new, something that wasn’t boring: the rock star as
messiah. Taylor and Bowie met, according to several
accounts. One imagines the Thin White Duke standing quiet and bemused as Taylor
unfolded a roadmap, pointing out landing sites to be used by flying saucers. From that encounter, Bowie’s alien life form took form. Ziggy would have a screwed down hairdo coloured bright orange; like lava streaming down a Kentucky waterfall. And Bowie’s brother from another planet would have a face tanned snow white except for the Kabuki theatre lightning bolt facepaint. For his audience, Ziggy chose to perform for the inhabitants of a doomed world, one with only five years before extinction. The loose conceptual album runs from “Five Years” to “Starman” to the climactic “Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide.” While Dawson didn’t mind the album’s theatrical
bent, he says it was “good songwriting and good production” that compelled him. The tribute to the Leper Messiah is an encore to last year’s salute to late-‘60s Rolling Stones show. Candidates for this year’s tribute included The Band and The Byrds, but Dawson liked the idea of playing music that would be “a bit more of a stretch.” “When he died … it was a no-brainer that now would be a good time to pay tribute to his music.” The cast of musicians is slated to include Alex Cuba, Jim Byrnes, Ralph Shaw, Khari McClelland, Dustin Bentall, Rich Hope, and Keri Latimer, all of whom will play the tunes with the backing of Dawson and the Black Hen House Band.

Pablo Picasso: Bust of a Woman (Dora Maar), 1938, oil on canvas. IMAGE SUPPLIED CATHY CARVER VANCOUVER ART GALLERY/PICASSO ESTATE/SODRAC 2016
Picasso’s muses get their due at the VAG ! Picasso: The Artist and His Muses, Vancouver Art Gallery until Oct. 2. If somehow you have missed seeing the current exhibit at the Vancouver Art Gallery then you owe it to yourself to go. Picasso: The Artist and his Muses is a fascinating look at Picasso’s work and six of the women who were inspirational in his career. The 60 paintings, lithographs, drawings and sculptures were made between 1905 to 1971 and show the many styles he used. The celebrated painter who is arguably the most famous modern artist was extremely prolific. The show includes many samples of his art in various mediums. The connection between artist and muse is presented
through the portraits and the details provided on their relationships offer some insight into the choices the artist made. Having the chance to get up close and view original artwork from a legendary artist is always exciting but to see the paintings and be able to look closely and examine the brushstrokes is to connect with the passion that Picasso brought to his art. The exhibit was made possible through the loans from a wide range of public and private collections and has come together to offer the biggest exhibition of Picasso works ever to appear in Vancouver. This show ends on Oct. 2, don’t regret not going to see it. – Terry Peters

Proposed Expansion SPONSORED CONTENT
Expansion will Invest Millions in CarbonReducing Technology
Michael Davies, Senior Director Kinder Morgan Canada
Climate change is an important global issue requiring action across industries and around the globe. Trans Mountain is committed to working with government and stakeholders to advance strategies that will reduce emissions and minimize our environmental footprint. Pipelines are part of the overall supply chain and while they account for about one per cent of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), we recognize our place and our role in the industry to minimize impacts where we can. The Trans Mountain Pipeline will be the first pipeline in Canada required by the NEB to offset all direct GHG emissions generated from Project construction. Our carbon offsets will produce real, measurable reductions in emissions to be verified by independent third parties. As a result, our expansion will produce a legacy of carbon reduction projects, including clean technology solutions. We know that building a new pipeline will generate emissions. While our objective is to minimize our carbon footprint by reducing emissions at the source as much as possible by using energy efficient technology and design, as well as low-carbon energy sources, there will be emissions we can’t mitigate. More than 90 per cent of these emissions are expected to come from land clearing activities. We’ll take responsibility for these emissions by developing a Carbon Management Plan for Project construction that will incorporate a variety of initiatives.
Some initiatives during construction include creating worker camps and local accommodation strategies to minimize transportation to and from work sites, implementing no idling policies and other contractor initiatives. We have also proposed the installation of a new vapour recovery system at Westridge Marine Terminal to control emissions and odours during ship loading that will have benefits well beyond the construction period. Today, hydrocarbon vapours generated by loading oil into a tanker are collected, blended with propane and incinerated to reduce the potential for odours. If the Project is approved, we’ll spend more than $20 million on a new vapour recovery system that would capture more than 99 per cent of the hydrocarbon vapours that are generated during loading operations, re-liquefy them and direct them back into the loading tankers. It’s also important to note that we currently monitor air emissions from our operations. Trans Mountain operates multiple air quality stations at our urban facilities to assist in emissions management as a best practice. The data is very valuable for assessing the environmental performance of our operations over the long term, and maintaining a historical record of emissions and emission levels to support continuous improvement. In addition to the measures already underway and committed to if the Expansion is approved, the federal government and several provincial governments, including BC and Alberta, have developed comprehensive climate change strategies designed to reduce emissions and lower the carbon footprint of Canada’s energy industry.
Vanessa Goodman and Lexi Vajda are featured dancers in plastic orchid factory’s Digital Folk.
PLASTIC ORCHID FACTORY: SFU WOODWARD’S
Digital Folk performances bring audience into interactive loop ! plastic orchid factory and SFU Woodward’s Cultural Programs present Digital Folk, until Sept. 25 at SFU’s Goldcorp Centre for the Arts, 149 W. Hastings St., Vancouver. Tickets: $18-$28 at sfuwoodwards.ca. CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com
Plastic orchid factory isn’t your typical dance company, so it’s not surprising that the group’s latest production, Digital Folk, isn’t your typical dance show.
When guests walk through the doors of the Fei and Milton Wong Experimental Theatre at SFU’s Goldcorp Centre for the Arts, they are invited to rummage through a wardrobe and don costumes – an early
indication they aren’t in for a traditional sit-and-watch theatre experience. The costume party atmosphere is accompanied by video games, music, dance, and installation work, resulting in an immersive and interdisciplinary experience. North Vancouver-raised Lexi Vajda is one of 11 dancers featured in the contemporary work, which she describes as “part installation, part party, part performance, part participatory.” “It’s very interactive,” she says. “But it’s gentle and respectful and generous in the way that the audience participates, so there’s no forcing anybody to do anything.” In development since 2014, plastic orchid factory’s artistic director James Gnam created Digital Folk out of a desire

to revisit how communities gather to play music, dance and tell stories in the wake of video game culture and technology. The work explores a generation’s approach to identity, physicality, social dance and performance. For a professional dancer like Vajda, who is used to memorizing and executing choreography, this piece represents a liberating departure from the norm in that there is no formal choreography to speak of. Instead, the dancers move their bodies in reaction to video games Rock Band and Dance Central, investigating the difference between mimicking on-screen avatars and complete spontaneity. “There’s a lot of improvisation and a lot of investigation on our behalf of memory and embodiment,” Vajda says. Meanwhile, the roving performers also interact with the intimate audience of 55. “It wouldn’t feel right to dance a piece of choreography around an audience without having the ability to respond and react to what they bring to the space,” she says. Digital Folk runs three times per night and guest are invited to stay for as many loops as they’d like within one evening. Due to the improvisational nature of the work, each show will offer something different, Vajda says. Dancing since she was a young girl, Vajda started her training at North Shore Academy of Dancing, where she is now an instructor. After
high school, she followed her passion and trained with Vancouver-based dance education program Modus Operandi. “I’ve predominantly trained in ballet, jazz, hip hop, and then have been focusing on contemporary dance practice in the past little bit,” she says, explaining she is drawn to the contemporary genre for its “vastness and expansive possibility.” “It’s not necessarily codified the way other forms are. There’s so many avenues and influences that are being explored right now,” she says. “It can’t ever get boring and it’s a form that continues to question instead of executing something that already exists, so that’s really crucial and necessary for me.” Digital Folk marks her first time working with plastic orchid factory and, after nearly three years of planning and preparation, she’s excited to be part of an outsidethe-box work that is sure to challenge audiences. “It’s a contemporary dance work that is going to be really different from what most people expect a dance show to be,” she says. “I hope that it’s fun. It’s a party. The energy is going to be hopefully really abounding and exciting and I think it’ll be an enjoyable experience. I also hope that people are brought to a place where they can question our culture and question how they exist as bodies in our culture, with technology in particular.”

PROFILE: GAME OF THRONE’S ELLIE KENDRICK
HBO star revels in The Levelling role
JULIE CRAWFORD Contributing writer
You wouldn’t think that much could rattle Ellie Kendrick: at age 18 and without formal training she played Juliet at the Globe Theatre; she then stared down critics to portray Anne Frank in a 2009 BBC mini-series; she has battled White Walkers on Game Of Thrones, for heaven’s sake.
But there’s one thing that gave her pause when accepting the lead role in Hope Dickson Leach’s debut feature The Levelling: “cows,” says the 26-year-old. “I actually had a phobia of cows before making the film, I didn’t tell anyone because I didn’t want to make a big deal about it.” Tough luck, since the entire film takes place on a dairy farm in Somerset, an area of England devastated by severe flooding in 2013-2014. Kendrick plays Clover, a trainee veterinarian who returns home after the sudden death of her brother Harry, only to fall into old patterns with her father
Ellie Kendrick stars in Hope Dickson Leach’s debut feature The Levelling which screened last week at TIFF. Aubrey (David Troughton) as they spar over maintenance of the crumbling farm, old familial wounds, and whether or not Harry’s death was a
suicide. The film was part of the Discovery program at the Toronto International Film Festival. “She’s a really interesting
character, conflicted and full of contradictions in a way that feels very human to me,” says Kendrick, “you don’t often see that, especially in

Etsy market makes Pipe Shop debut North Shore’s White Lies Jewelry among vendors ! Etsy: Made in Canada, Sept. 24 and 25, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. at the Pipe Shop, 115 Victory Ship Way, North Vancouver. Admission: $5 at the door. For details, visit etsy.com/ca/madeincanada. CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com
The third annual Etsy: Made in Canada marketplace returns to the Lower Mainland this weekend and this time it’s landing on the North Shore.
The coast-to-coast pop-up event, which will be taking place in 38 communities nationwide, gives members of the e-commerce website Etsy the opportunity to sell their handmade goods at a brick-and-mortar venue. After two years at Robson Square in Vancouver, the local edition of the artisan fair is relocating to the Pipe Shop in North Vancouver. “It fits really well with our handmade and vintage style and at the same time it’s indoors so we can control the crowd a little bit better,” says organizer Crystal Ho. The new, larger venue can accommodate more than 90 vendors (Robson Square had space for just 75) and, for the first time, the market will run over two days instead of one. With so many applicants hoping to secure a table at the event, Ho says there is a juried selection process. First and foremost, all sellers
must run an Etsy shop and their goods should be high-quality and handmade. Jurors also strive to bring in a mix of new and established vendors, as well as a range of products in a number of categories: art and design; craft and jewelry; fashion and accessories; home and living; beauty and skincare; and baby and kids. This Saturday and Sunday, shoppers will be able to meet artisans such as Fox & Fancy, which will be selling cheeky paper goods and stationary, Fable Naturals, which will have plant-based skin care products on display, and Cabin + Cub, which offers a line of laser-cut wooden jewelry. Returning for her second Etsy: Made in Canada market is long-time North Vancouver resident Krista Luney, who opened her Etsy shop White Lies Jewelry at the end of 2014. Luney makes metal jewelry and geometric glass terrariums. The mostly self-taught metalsmith says she has been fascinated with jewelry from a young age and started beading as a child before advancing into wire-wrapping and soldering. She ventured into terrariums after taking a stained-glass class with her mother. “I ended up becoming more interested in 3D models rather than a flat panel,” she says. Selling her White Lies Jewelry collection in a physical space, as opposed
Clockwise from top left: North Vancouver resident Krista Luney creates metal jewelry and geometric glass terrariums under her White Lies Jewelry label; Cabin + Cub makes laser-cut wooden fashion accessories and housewares; FIXXT Collective offers global textiles sourced ethically from around the world. PHOTOS SUPPLIED to on the Internet, means shoppers can examine her creations up close, touch them, and ask questions. “The nice thing about selling it face-to-face is the connection that you build with your customer and
the compliments that they give you about your product that makes you feel so good about what you can do and how you can make them happy,” Luney says. “Online it’s a different story because you don’t get that
same connection that you do interacting with somebody one-on-one.” Stop by Luney’s table at the Pipe Shop this weekend, or check out her online shop at etsy.com/ca/shop/ WhiteLiesJewelry.
Part proceeds from admission to Etsy: Made in Canada will go to the KidSafe Project Society, which provides nurturing safe havens for vulnerable inner-city children when schools are traditionally closed.

Cast and crew lived in bungalows on site
From page 24
– and I just thought ‘I have to play this part, if I don’t I’ll be heartbroken’ and that feeling’s really rare.” Clover employs a clinical approach in trying to make sense of what happened to her brother, looking for clues and assigning blame to the father who drove her away at age 18. It’s left to Clover to wipe up the blood and mess when the police tape comes down. But all this practicality “is a coping mechanism for this huge well of emotional complexity and guilt that’s been trapped in a closet for her whole life,” says Kendrick. “So for me, not only was this a really scary script that
pushed me to very vulnerable places, but there were also cows,” she laughs. The script was so rich in detail and scrupulously researched that Kendrick assumed that it was writerdirector Leach’s own story. “The film has a real heft of fact behind it,” she says. Fields were covered by six feet of water in some places: farmers’ lives were destroyed, livestock was depleted, crops were ruined. Leach went to affected areas and spoke to activist groups that got the largely ignored plight of the farmers on the nightly news. “Hope went to that area, collaborated with the community and made sure that we were telling a story that was authentic and
felt real,” says Kendrick, adding that the farm where they filmed (“run by two farmers called Robert and George”) was one of many changed forever by the flood. The Levelling crew was composed of a surprising percentage of women, she notes. In addition to Leach was an all-female camera crew, a largely female production team, costume designer, hair and makeup, among others. “That was ace!” she says. “It was an accident, but it felt fitting that we were telling this story of this exciting, young, complicated woman and there were all these fiercely dedicated women behind the camera.” Cast and crew “were all living in this weird holiday
village, in bungalows that were all connected.” The production base was the local pub (back when the flooding was bad, says Kendrick, the locals would canoe to the same pub to have their meetings); they went for walks together on the weekend. Kendrick says that her preferred method of relaxation is cooking, the more elaborate the better: she once found herself making a three-course meal for 26 cast and crew members. So, cooking, milking cows, and thanks to her role as Meera Reed, Bran’s protector on Game of Thrones, she can also shoot a bow and arrow, wield an axe and skin a rabbit. Oh, she can Scottish dance, too. “You always end
up picking up strange skills as an actor.” Kendrick especially enjoys the action scenes required for her Game of Thrones character. In season four, she says, “I had a big fight with the Whites… and I had to learn a 26-move fight. I got taught how to do it by the guy who played Leonardo in the original TMNT film, and I thought ‘wow, I never thought I’d be here’!” Julianne Moore, Maxine Peake – “women who choose roles that never allow them to be pigeon-holed” – are artists Kendrick admires, though she most often gleans inspiration from music: Bjork, Christine and The Queens, and “crazy harpist” Joanna Newsome are her current
favourites. Miranda July is the one filmmaker she’d really love to work with. Kendrick had one day off after The Levelling shoot to go back to Game of Thrones. “It’s fun to move between these two completely different worlds.” The actor has done radio, wouldn’t rule out directing of some kind, and loves doing stage work because of the “electric atmosphere” created between a performer and her audience. It doesn’t matter what medium Kendrick is working in, as long as she is challenged by it: “I have this strange compulsion: the roles I’m drawn to are the ones I’m most terrified by,” she says. “It’s much more rewarding that way.”

“Creating safe communities means protecting the environment and the people.” – Dion Arnouse, Emergency Management Consultant, Kinder Morgan Canada
Trans Mountain’s emergency management team has connected with over 100 Aboriginal communities along the BC-Alberta pipeline route. We assess each community’s capacity to respond to a civil emergency, then provide support to upgrade emergency response skills accordingly. The primary objective is to ensure an organized response to a spill. However, as the chances of a spill are low, local residents who are trained well with a safety mindset are equally prepared to respond to a more likely natural event, such as a fire, flood or ice storm. Putting safety first is our number one priority.
•
There is a constant focus on community safety, emergency preparedness and environmental protection.
•
Emergency preparedness training benefits include skills in dealing with all hazards, including fires, floods and extreme storms.
•
To date, 40 Aboriginal communities located along the pipeline and marine corridor in British Columbia and Alberta have signed Mutual Benefit Agreements.
•
For both Trans Mountain and Aboriginal training, we conduct exercises and drills year-round in all seasons and conditions – on land, water, even on ice – throughout the entire system.
•
We have connected with more than 100 Aboriginal communities along the entire pipeline route.
•
There are 15 equipment caches along the pipeline and over $3 million will be invested in new emergency response equipment.

Committed to safety since 1953.

of two brothers, Abdul and Hasan. One lives in Vancouver and the other in Bombay, and they share a passion for cricket. “While I was researching The Parcel, I actually came across a chicken slaughterhouse and I met the owner. I’d always wanted to write about cricket as well, but a play can’t be about cricket, that’s just a starting point. When I visited this chicken slaughterhouse, somehow it connected with cricket. Now that’s a very vague and improbable connection, but that’s what I like about the story is how that connection happens and it happens organically because that’s what happened to me,” says Irani. The Men In White is set to run from Feb. 9 to March 11 and follows Irani’s previous collaborations with the Vancouver theatre company, including 2003’s The Matka King and 2010’s My Granny the Goldfish. Irani is grateful the Arts Club’s continued support of his work. “They have always encouraged me to find more and more depth in my work, even if it means going darker,” he says.

Jean Goodman (nee Minto), age 84, passed away Monday, September 5th, 2016 at Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver. She was born March 1st, 1932 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Jean travelled to Vancouver in 1955 thinking it would be for 2 years, but she met her husband-to-be, Derek. They were married August 25th, 1956, lived in West Vancouver and recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. They had two sons: Colin (deceased), wife Lynn and grandchildren, Dège and Melissa; Blair, wife Dawn and grandchildren Andrew, Daniel, Torreana. She is survived by her husband, Derek. In Scotland, she leaves brothers Ronnie (Marion) and Derek (Anne), and half sisters Betty and Morag; and in California, brother-in-law Keith. She has many nieces and nephews in Scotland and Canada. She was predeceased by brother Lawrence (Christine) in Scotland, sister Yvonne (Bill) in Campbell River, and brother-in-law Alan (Pat, deceased) in Montreal. Jean’s many interests, starting in Scotland, include her love of hiking and rock climbing which she was able to continue here in BC. Also initiated in Scotland was her service with the Cubs, Boy Scouts Association; she continued as a cub leader for 12 years at St Stephen’s Anglican Church in West Vancouver. She was also involved with the Scout Guild with her total years in scouting being 50. Jean attended St Francis in-the-Wood Anglican Church for many years; she worked with the sanctuary guild, and in later years enjoyed a study group. Both Jean and Derek spent many years camping and travelling in their “English caravan”. Jean travelled abroad with friends to Scotland, France, Nepal and the Philippines. She enjoyed doing crafts, excelled in knitting and volunteered at the West Vancouver Senior Centre for 12 years. Playing badminton, and skiing on Hollyburn Mountain, where the couple had a cabin called “Hellzapopinn”, took up much of her time. In all those pursuits, Jean felt fortunate to have met so many wonderful people and to have made so many friends. A celebration of Jean’s life will be held at St Francis inthe-Wood Anglican Church, 4773 South Piccadilly Road, West Vancouver on Friday, September 30th, at 1:00 pm. It would be appreciated for any donations to be directed to Lions Gate Hospital or Hope Centre, both located in North Vancouver.

The Mazda6 is one of the best-looking mid-size sedans on the road, and also brings lively driving characteristics not normally associated with cars that fit into this commuting, grocery getting class. The interior is very driver-focused as well, adding to the car’s performance-first feel. The Mazda6 is available at Morrey Mazda in the Northshore Auto Mall. PHOTO CINDY GOODMAN
Mazda6 a sedan for driving fans The average family four-door sedan leads a pretty humble life.
Grinding Gears Brendan McAleer
It’s the commuter, the grocery getter, the taxicab that picks up the kids at the airport when they fly in from their university back East. When you grab those keys, it’s usually for a chore, not an adventure. Mazda would like to change that. So, one of these days, you’ll get that Soul Red MX-5
you’ve been dreaming about. For right now, what about this? It’s Mazda’s mid-sized Mazda6, complete with four doors, four cylinders, an automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive. Ordinarily, these are your elements of choice when baking a loaf of pure bland. They’re useful staples for the everyday, sure, but about as exciting as dry white toast.
Prepare to repel boredom. Somehow, Mazda’s engineers have managed to transform our mundane workaday requirements into one of the most fun-to-drive machines on the market.
DESIGN First off, the Mazda6 is easily the best-looking machine in its class. Perhaps it’s because everything is so cohesive. While other
manufacturers take a single element like a massive grille and try to use it to liven up a bland profile, the ‘6 looks like it was designed as a whole. From the (admittedly large) shield-shaped grille, the ‘6 seems to flow backward in a series of swooping curves. The headlights blend into the chrome of the grille itself, an effect that’s duplicated at the rear of the car.
Never mind Honda and Toyota: Lexus and Acura could do well to study this machine. It’s handsome without being overwrought, something you don’t often see in the current sea of hyper-aggressive machines on the road. The one misstep, however, is the wheel sizing. The top-level GT model

AAA says billions wasted on premium gas A biweekly roundup of automotive news, good, bad and just plain weird: PAYING A PREMIUM FOR PREMIUM FUEL According to the American Automobile Association, something like US$2.1 billion was wasted on premium fuel last year. Consumers, unclear what higher-grade fuel actually does, are filling up their regular cars with 91-octane fuel. If your Civic or Camry is intended to run on 87 octane gasoline, you’re wasting your money. Here’s the quick thumbnail lesson. The octane rating on the fuel pump isn’t a measure of the quality of the gasoline, it’s a rating of how resistant the fuel is to pre-ignition (also known as

Braking News Brendan McAleer spontaneous combustion or knock). If you have a highcompression performance car, or a turbocharged or supercharged car, your car’s engine control unit may be able to extract more power with higher octane fuel. It may even be a requirement – check your gas cap or fuel filler door. If, however, you have a standard engine, the higher octane does nothing. It adds no power and doesn’t increase range. You get nothing except, perhaps, a placebo effect. The one caveat is that lower octane fuels are often blended with ethanol, which burns slightly hotter than gasoline, and can be a little harder on an engine in the long term. But that’s splitting hairs – you’re much more likely to have an electrical problem with a 20-year-old car than you are a mechanical one caused by running regular-grade fuel. GUIDELINES RELEASED FOR SELF-DRIVING CARS It’s not the technology that’ll be the biggest hurdle to the fully autonomous car, it’s the law. With the United States Department of Transport releasing a new document outlining how the self-driving car of the future will be regulated, there’s at least now a road map forward. The guidelines break down federal and state responsibilities, and list 15 points that every autonomous car should conform to. These include everything from privacy and cybersecurity against hacking, to ethical considerations. The last has been provoking an interesting debate over the last few months. When our cars are completely self-aware, should they choose to swerve into a lamppost and kill a single occupant rather than mow down a herd of schoolchildren? Armchair philosophers have been debating over the prospect like crazy. But here’s the thing. There’s another, larger elephant in the room that
the government hasn’t quite addressed yet. As autonomous vehicles become more prevalent, somebody is going to misunderstand the technology and get themselves injured. Then they’re going to sue. Based on what happened with Toyota’s unintended acceleration scandal – which was shown to be human error rather than a problem with the cars – they’re probably going to win. So, even with the way forward to an autonomous future, watch for mainstream automakers to proceed cautiously. CANYON JUMP HONOURS EVEL KNIEVEL It was the one stunt Evel never got to do: jump a rocket-powered motorcycle across the Snake River Canyon in Idaho. Why do such a thing? Because he’s Evel Knievel. Forty-two years later, however, somebody’s finally done it. Eddie Braun cleared the canyon this week in a steam-powered rocketcycle, one built by the son of the man who built the X2 Skycycle that Evel was supposed to use. During the stunt, the rocket contraption hit 400 miles per hour, hurtling up a huge ramp, sailing over the canyon and parachuting gently down on the other side. Braun didn’t claim the victory for himself, telling the Idaho Statesman, “I like to say I’m not doing something that Evel Knievel couldn’t do. I’m simply finishing out his dream. How many people get to finish the dream of their hero?” DRIVER CAUGHT GOING 89 MPH IN A DELOREAN We all know what happens when you hit 88 mph in a DeLorean, right? Great Scott! It’s back to the future we go! Well, the Essex police were not so amused when they caught one DeLorean owner travelling along the public road at 89 mph. “You’re nicked mate,” they said, or whatever it is bobbies say these days. However, Nigel Mills wasn’t having it, and decided to fight the ticket. Apparently, a group of people are illegally camped out in the parking lot of the company he owns, and police refuse to evict them. However, they’re still happy to hand out fines to honest, mostly law-abiding, timetraveller wannabes. Owing to a lack of

ENVIRONMENT Unlike its exterior, the inside of the Mazda6 is more of an acquired taste. The ‘6 certainly has the dimensions to stretch out in, but while most of its competitors are open and spacious, the Mazda’s interior has a more cockpit-like feel, closed in around the driver. If you like to drive, this is no bad thing. All the important controls are within reach, your fingertips just brush the paddle shifters with your hands at 9-and-3 o’clock on the steering wheel, and there’s even a heads-up display. This last is just a thin piece of transparent plastic which looks a little cheap next to the rest of the in-cabin appointments. However, it functions very well. If you’re looking at moving up to the ‘6 because your family is outgrowing an older Mazda3, everything should feel familiar to you here. Mazda’s rotary dial and touchscreen infotainment system works better than other, flashier systems, and you still get redundant physical controls for most functions. Rear seat headroom is perhaps a little less than you’d find in something like a Camry, but the ‘6 offers essentially the same space front, rear, and in the trunk as any of its competitors. It just happens to drive better. PERFORMANCE Only one powerplant is available with the Mazda6, a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine that makes 184 horsepower at 5,700 r.p.m. and 185 footpounds of torque at 3,250 r.p.m. There’s no V-6, and no turbocharged four-cylinder. On one hand, the numbers seem a little

disappointing: you get more horsepower from the sport version of the Accord, more torque from the turbocharged versions of the Fusion, and then there’s the V-6 Camry which is an absolute straight-line screamer. It’d be nice to have the power under the hood to match the swoopy looks, but then again this is the company that builds the MX-5. Power isn’t everything – momentum is.

the standard fare, but then you get to uncork it on a weekend trip up the Sea-toSky, and the magic happens. Like the MX-5, driving pleasure here is not about outright speed, it’s about the flow. Just as the exterior of this car all flows together into a cohesive whole, the driving experience is a sum that’s greater than the figures on the chart would suggest. The steering is perfectly weighted, heavier than most Japanese brands would dare, and just a tad lighter than you’d get from the Germans. The six-speed automatic transmission is
completely conventional, but has been programmed very well. It shifts quickly and accurately, and makes you wonder why other manufacturers are trying to make nine and 10 speed transmissions work. The four, while not possessed of huge power, is a willing and relatively torquey engine. Low end response is good for a naturally aspirated offering, and sounds good when you rev it up. Really though, the powertrain is just there to support the handling, which

is excellent. It’s not just the grip, which is more than ample for public roads, but the way the ‘6 responds to transitions and sweeping corners. This isn’t about flogging a car to within an inch of its life, this is about having fun at sane speeds on a sunny day with the road rolling out in front of you. Sure, the Mazda6 has to be your weekday ride, but it can be your day-off grinmachine as well.
FEATURES The Mazda6 starts out at $24,695, with the GT model topping out about $10,000 above that. You can even get a manual in the top model, which is totally unique in the segment.

Fun for the family, especially the driver Camry sales with space and comfort. Happily, Honda’s now managed to get the best of both worlds out of its mainline sedan. The Sport version is genuinely enjoyable, though a half-step behind the ‘6 for driver involvement, and there’s the option of a powerful V-6 if you’d like. mcaleer.nsnews@gmail.com

the community is giving it a final send-off. Seventy-five vintage vehicles dating back as far as 1929 – when the hospital first opened – will be on display, as well as an assortment of vintage emergency vehicles. Each decade gets its own class, and the car show will be part of a whole bigger gala with entertainment and children’s activities. Head over between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Sunday to take part.
