West Van’s monster homes add to greenhouse gasses ANNA DIMOFF Contributing writer

Houses with large square footage have big carbon footprints.

That was one of the findings of Monday’s presentation that ended with West Vancouver council committing to lower the district’s carbon footprint by 40 per cent by 2040. The sprawling ‘monster houses’ that occupy the district’s hills fell under scrutiny as the main contributor to the 260,000 tonnes of greenhouse gasses emitted annually by West Vancouver, according to the Community Energy and Emissions Plan written by engineers, entrepreneurs, and environmental advocates. “Here’s an image for you: one tonne of greenhouse gas is the equivalent of one hot air balloon,” said Charlotte McLaughlin, chairwoman of the group. “So, imagine 260,000 hot air balloons hovering over West Vancouver, those are our emissions every year.” The district’s per capita emissions are 4.8 tonnes per year, compared to 3.1 tonnes per

West Van floats non-resident tax plan

JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

West Vancouver councillors want to charge property owners who don’t live in the homes they own higher property taxes than residents.

But first, they’ll need to get agreement from the province – a move that could open the door to other municipalities doing the same thing, or charging different tax rates to different categories of residential taxpayers in the future. West Vancouver council wants to put a non-resident property tax in place as part of efforts to curb real estate speculation that has been fuelling sky-high property prices, says Councillor Craig Cameron.

New tax scheme aimed at speculators; province must approve tax rule changes “It’s targeting people who use real estate as an investment,” said Cameron, adding that’s been a big issue in West Vancouver – where it is not unheard of for people to own several multi-million-dollar homes, sometimes not living in any of them. “There’s quite a bit of speculation in housing.” Under the scheme being floated by council members, anyone who doesn’t want to be charged the non-resident

tax rate would have to check a box stating the home is the principal residence of the family, said Cameron. That would be subject to auditing and enforcement by municipal staff. The non-resident tax would apply equally to foreigners and Canadian citizens who don’t live in the homes they own. “It’s to ensure giving preferential tax treatment to people who are using houses as homes,” said Cameron. Money raised from the extra tax would then be put into a dedicated fund to support housing projects in the municipality. Cameron said West Vancouver councillors like the idea of a non-resident tax better than a vacancy tax, such as that

year from residents of Metro Vancouver. “It’s primarily related to the housing stock in West Vancouver. The age of the housing stock, mainly the small bungalow houses, the greenhouse gasses are extremely high,” McLaughlin said, adding that the district’s dependency on cars boosts the number as well. The Cypress Village project was referenced frequently as a fresh start to implement some of the group’s goals, which include residential and commercial growth, diversifying housing stock, and retrofitting out-of-date and inefficient homes. West Vancouver’s lack of density makes it hard for the municipality to support carsharing services like Car2go efficiently, according to Alex Boston, the lead consultant with the working group. The only area in West Vancouver to have carsharing services available is Horseshoe Bay, which is mainly used by passengers unloading from ferries,

according to Boston. That reliance on cars can be reduced by creating modes of activity that are accessible by foot, bike or transit, said group member Jennie Moore, associate dean of building design and construction technology at BCIT. “Buses account for two per cent of all vehicles that travel across our Lions Gate Bridge, but they carry 25 per cent of the population. We’re getting huge efficiency out of that. The more we can densify in the existing places where it’s appropriate to do so, the more we’re going to activate our transit and road systems,” said Moore. Other recommendations also focused on enhancing transit, strengthening pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, and protecting the area’s green space. Council unanimously approved the Community Energy and Emissions Plan. The working group now has six months to begin implementing their top priority goals before reporting back to council with progress updates.

Foreign buyers’ tax cooling red-hot market

West Van’s summertime housing sales slump by more than 50% JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

Real estate industry insiders say it’ll be a few months before they know if the once whitehot North Shore real estate market is heading into the deep freeze.

But the trend is definitely cooler, especially at the high end of the market, where teardowns were selling for multiple millions just six months ago. Only 22 detached houses were sold in West Vancouver in September, according to statistics released this week by the Greater Vancouver

Real Estate Board. Sales for single-family homes in West Van between July and August have slumped 58 per cent from the same period last year. September sales of single-family homes in West Van were less than a third of what they were during the same month in 2015. The number of homes selling compared to listings has also dropped dramatically, falling to 13 per cent for West Vancouver detached homes in September from 33 per cent a year ago. “To me that’s a significant slowdown,” said Brent Eilers, a Realtor with Remax Masters Realty, who said that number could be even lower, depending on how figures are calculated. Bidding wars have largely vanished, he said. “We haven’t had a British Properties home sell for over $6 million since May 27,” he said. “The West Van

market is really struggling.” North Vancouver Realtor Satnam Sidhu, a former president of the Canadian Real Estate Council, said he’s seen the same trend. With the imposition of a 15 per cent foreign buyers tax in August, luxury tax on properties worth more than $2 million and tightening of the rules around contract assignments, “the higher end of the properties have been hit,” said Sidhu. “Last year there were twice as many properties over $2 million sold in September as there were this year.” Builders have backed off snapping up expensive lots, he said. “They don’t know where the market’s going to be 10 months down the road.” Sidhu said the market has been cooling since April, but since August foreign buyers have all but abandoned the high-end market in West Vancouver in

favour of places like Toronto and Seattle. Eilers agreed. “They’re going anywhere they don’t have to pay this 15 per cent tax,” said Eilers. “Why would they come here and pay 15 per cent more?” Both Realtors said the slowdown has been more moderate in the lower end of the real estate market. The 53 detached homes that sold in North Vancouver in September were half the number that sold in the same month a year ago. Sales of detached homes between July and September in North Vancouver are down about 33 per cent compared to last year, according to real estate board statistics. Sidhu said he’s still seeing market activity in the lower end of the market, dominated by local residents. But many people are

adopting a wait-and-see approach. “There was a time everyone thought ‘buy today’ because prices are going to be higher tomorrow,” he said. “That isn’t the case anymore.” Eilers said he’s started to see selling prices inching down, though that may take some time as sellers begin to realize they can’t sell their house for what their neighbours got six months ago. “When the pendulum swings from the sellers’ side to the buyers’ side it doesn’t matter what the seller wants. … I think we are in the process of the slowdown.” This week the federal government also introduced measures aimed at cooling the housing market, including a crackdown on speculators who may be claiming their homes as principal residences to avoid capital gains tax.

Ottawa is also tightening lending rules, imposing a “stress test” for mortgage payments on more buyers. John Ribalkin, a North Vancouver mortgage broker and owner of Nova Financial Services, said that measure is more likely to hurt everyday Canadians than wealthy foreign buyers. “People who were pre-qualified before may not be qualified now,” he said. Many of the details about the new rules still aren’t clear, he added. Sidhu said buyers will certainly qualify for less expensive homes under the new regulations, but said he understands Ottawa’s desire to prevent home buyers from courting disaster when interest rates begin to rise. Sidhu said back when he started in the real estate business almost 40 years ago “these (interest) rates were simply unheard of. ... People have over-extended themselves.”

Treatment plant awaits more provincial funds $700M project mandated by feds to be online by 2020 JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

Will the provincial government throw money down the toilet this election season?

With the timely completion of the Lions Gate wastewater treatment plant hanging in the balance, that’s what City of North Vancouver Mayor Darrell Mussatto is hoping for. In order to abide by federal regulations, the new $700-million sewage treatment plant must be operational by New Year’s Eve, 2020. To meet that deadline, an infusion of cash from the province is needed by February at the very latest, according to Mussatto, who also serves as chairman of the Metro Vancouver utilities committee. The three North Shore municipalities have favoured dividing the plant’s bill equally among the federal government, the provincial government, and the municipalities. The provincial government recently put $148.5 million toward a fund that includes wastewater. However, even if the entire sum went to the Lions Gate facility, it would still be nearly $85 million less than what the North Shore municipalities called for.

If there’s more money coming, it will likely arrive when the provincial government can enjoy a “political benefit,” Mussatto said. “You’d rather announce it closer to the election,” he said. “Any party would do that.” While funding for the plant hasn’t been confirmed, it hasn’t been denied, either, according to Mussatto. While the mayor said he’s “very hopeful” the province will make a financial commitment, he explained there is a “drop-dead date” for funding once the writ of election is issued. With the next provincial election set for May 9, the writ would likely drop by March 19, barring any further funding announcements until after the election. The bulk of the construction would need to take place in 2018 to get the plant up and flushing by the end of 2020, according to Mussatto. Without provincial funding, paying for the plant would take “pretty much all” of the city’s budget, he added. The federal government has committed $212 million for the plant, approximately $21 million shy of municipal expectations. Because the plant was initially projected to cost $420 million, two West Vancouver councillors previously expressed concerns about the plant’s budget ballooning beyond $700 million. However, the $700-million price tag incorporated

inflation, according to Mussatto, who said the figure remains accurate. The plant is slated to be sandwiched between McKeen Avenue and West First Street in the District of North Vancouver, approximately two kilometres east of the old plant on Bridge Road in West Vancouver. The Bridge Road facility has been repeatedly expanded since opening in 1961, enabling it to handle more than 30-billion litres of wastewater annually, discharging treated wastewater into Burrard Inlet. The new plant would incorporate a second level of treatment, using ultraviolet light and a chemical compound similar to household bleach to take 90 per cent of dissolved substances out of the water. The current treatment removes between 30 and 40 per cent of dissolved material. The design calls for zero odour, but as waste is broken down, the plant may emit biogas exhaust, which can affect air quality. However, the air is set to go through a scrubbing system before being discharged. The plant includes plans for an effluent heat recovery system. The Bridge Road treatment plant, located just west of the Lions Gate Bridge, is on leased land that is scheduled to revert back to the Squamish Nation when the facility is decommissioned by 2021.

Feds to close tax loophole From page 1 being put in place in the City of Vancouver, because they feel it’s more enforceable. Earlier this summer, West Vancouver council discussed – and rejected – the idea of a vacancy tax, saying it would result in a bureaucratic nightmare. “It relies on people admitting their house is vacant,” said Cameron – or people snitching on their neighbours. West Vancouver Mayor Mike Smith has consistently favoured a non-resident tax, which he pays on his own vacation home in Hawaii. At the time, councillors also voiced concern a vacancy tax could penalize residents who go south to places like Palm Springs for two or three months at a time. Cameron said this week some people may still try to get around a non-resident tax, but that may be more difficult, especially with the federal announcement that Ottawa intends to clamp down on foreigners who claim Canadian homes as

their principal residence while actually living abroad, in order to avoid capital gains tax. Cameron said it’s shocking that the federal government hasn’t cracked down on that earlier. Up until now, homeowners who sold a multimillion-dollar property and claimed the house as their principal residence weren’t required to submit any documentation proving that to the government. Before West Vancouver can start imposing a nonresident property tax, it will have to get approval from the province, which would have to amend the Community Charter governing municipalities. Council members spoke to provincial ministers – including Rich Coleman, minister responsible for housing, Peter Fassbender, minister of community, sport and cultural development, and Finance Minister Mike DeJong – about the idea during the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference last week. “They were all sort of

West Vancouver Coun. Craig Cameron thinks municipal councils should support the change. interested,” said Cameron. Cameron said he thinks other municipal councils support the change. Non-resident property taxes are in place in some other communities in Canada. If changes to the Community Charter are approved, it would pave the way to municipalities putting the first such taxes in place in B.C.

Emission remission

limate change is fast and federal governments are slow. Between approving an LNG plant and ratifying the Paris climate change accord, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rolled out a carbon tax. To our untrained eyes, a price of $10 per tonne of greenhouse gas – starting in 2018 – is both little and late. But despite its seeming modesty, the tax elicited accusations of betrayal from one premier and implied defiance from another. The Conservative environment critic likened the tax to a sledgehammer, which we found shocking – mainly because we didn’t realize there was a Conservative environment critic. Not since Han Solo was encased in the stuff has carbon engendered such ill will. But the whole brouhaha makes West Vancouver council’s pledge to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions 40

per cent by the year 2040 all the more crucial. We normally only extoll the importance of municipal elections right before voting day, but this is a clear example of just how vital local government is. Far too often, federal government is about who we like. Local government is about how we live. And the unpleasant truth is that too many of us live too large, with houses that are too big and cars that spend too much time on the road. It may be fair to accuse other countries and other political parties of shirking their duties, but if we aren’t willing to change our own lifestyles we’re part of the problem. However, while we credit West Vancouver’s council, we also note that 2040 is a long way away. Climate change, on the other hand, is on our doorstep. Think fast.

Beware the cries of a shrinking middle class

ell, here’s something on this Thanksgiving weekend to be thankful about. Possibly. Countless stories – perhaps all feeding off the same misinformation? – have reported that middle-class incomes have been almost static for 20, 30, even 40 years. Wrong, very wrong. The median Canadian income increased ‘‘dramatically … from $25,771 per-family-member in 1976 to $39,200 in 2011, the most recent year of readily available data.’’ That’s ‘‘as much as” 52 per cent. So says Vancouver’s Fraser Institute, citing studies by senior Fraser fellow Donald Boudreaux, economics professor at Virginia’s George Mason University and co-author of The Myth of Middle-Class Stagnation in Canada. What skews, obscures

This Just In Trevor Lautens or explains the truth? These factors: Inflation is overestimated. Big advances in purchasing power. Shorter working hours for higher pay. Smaller families – fewer mouths to feed. And the most easily overlooked, changes in government transfers such as the GST credit and child benefit payments. It’s (Canadian) human

CONTACTUS

nature to look only at the pay stub’s “take-home pay’’ — as if the deductions are just wasteful government stuff. Like for our health system, pensions and much else. In fact, the Fraser Institute itself encourages this line of thinking by calculating “Tax Freedom Day” — this year in B.C. it was June 5 — when taxes at all levels are paid off and families “start working for themselves.” But also a factor is that some goods over time become much cheaper. Boudreaux cites the microwave oven, $579.98 at Sears in 1976 and $229.99 in 2011, while hours of average pay to buy one plunged from 109 to 10. More currently, think of the huge drop in computer costs and such while they vastly improved. So, great Thanksgiving news – the definitive study, we’ve prospered! Until the

left-wing Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives fires back with the straight goods. Yeah, sure. $$$ And speaking of the Fraser: On Oct. 17 the institute will hold a celebratory luncheon for economist Herbert Grubel, Reform party MP from 1993 to 1997 for Capilano-Howe Sound (merged into West VancouverSunshine Coast-Sea to Sky riding). Grubel has an arm-long international C.V. But arguably his most important role was that as Reform’s finance critic he and Liberal finance minister Paul Martin had informal nonpartisan talks about slashing the federal debt, Martin’s outstanding accomplishment (he modestly credited the Canadian people). Grubel is still cranking out creative ideas. One proposed a Canada-U.S. shared currency

called the amero. Sounds pretty good at present. $$$ Fay Stannus, who died recently, was a longtime North Shore stalwart for the pro-life movement, a determined foe of the moral and demographic evils of abortion whose facts and figures are repressed by the establishment from the top down (Justin Trudeau but also the other party leaders), abetted by the media that know censorship is so dreadfully distasteful – that’s dictatorship stuff – while simply ignoring the uncomfortable is so easy. The movement isn’t dead, but you’d never know it. $$$ One summer morning about 15 years ago I advised my three young children to get the hell out of the house because fire was shooting up trees down the block on the other side of the road.

one fell on our side … Didn’t happen. Our WV firefighters expertly snuffed it out. For years the gated property’s For Sale signs grew old and died. Then, a few weeks ago, the lot – a substantial 1.55 acres, spilling down to waterfront – was sold by wellknown real estate agent Jason Soprovich. Offered north of $16 million, it sold for a mere $14.5 million, Soprovich said. That figure won’t make a West Vancouver eyebrow even twitch, while politicians and regulators nervously chew on how not to kill the golden goose, just maybe make it, well, silver – without, of course, actually interfering with the market, you know, helping the landless young but not their, um, propertied parents. $$$

Unstructured physical play is a large part of how kids learn and grow, and a recent study found that more than 40 per cent of kindergartners living in one of West Vancouver’s most affluent neighbourhoods face a lack of both motor and social skills.

It is very disheartening and disturbing to read about these actions recently undertaken by conservation officers. I live in Blueridge, I have seen the bears in question. The narrative put forward is that residents are responsible because of leaving attractants out. We are given the blame treatment, instead of asking decision-makers to come up with a humane response. In fact, the bears are going into hibernation and are seeking food sources, some of which are compost bins, and the compost that is now collected in bins as green waste. Hungry bears show up regularly on garbage day. There is no way this is going

Strongly recommended: Christopher Marlowe’s Edward II, running till Oct. 15 at the Chan Centre’s Telus stage. I can’t list all members of an exceptional cast and creative team, but Riley Bugaresti as

the king and Daniel Curalli as his lover Gaveston are outstanding, direction by Mary Vingoe stunning, all far above usual university expectations. Well worth a bridge-crossing. rtlautens@gmail.com

ONLINECOMMENT Lynn Valley Road. I am sorry to see the trees go but a more dramatic change is happening near Lynn Creek to expand road capacity for cars. Bridgman Park was reduced in size and hundreds of trees are cut down for the Keith Bridge and the new Mountain Highway Interchange. Brett: I couldn’t agree more with Anne’s letter. People do not seem to raise as much opposition to the cutting of trees if it’s for expanded roadways or highways; it’s only a problem when it is

NSN STORY, LETTER OR OPINION: Preserve Lynn Valley Trees, (Oct. 2 Mailbox) Anne: If traffic congestion in Lynn Valley is a concern it would be wise to not oppose improving other modes of transportation such as biking. Lynn Valley Road doesn’t have a parallel side street. Any other route is circuitous and ends south of the mall. If there was a feasible alternative bike route people wouldn’t risk their health and lives riding in traffic on

to improve the safety of cyclists. Lynn Valley Road is extremely dangerous to bike along and unpleasant to walk along. There are no roads running parallel to Lynn Valley Road’s diagonal path that one can cycle along to avoid the high speed traffic on Lynn Valley Road. Bike lanes are much needed on this route and the only other option to removing trees is to take out a traffic lane in each direction — and you can guess how controversial that would be!

NSN STORY, LETTER OR OPINION: Firefighters Join Fentanyl Battle, (Sept. 30 story) Ziggy Eckardt: Carrying naloxone kits on fire trucks may well be a good idea. However, where are the demonstrations, the T-shirts and the passionate demands to put drug dealers away for a very long time? Their business includes committing mass-murder for profit!

Trans Mountain strives to be a leader in the area of emergency preparedness and response and I’m proud of the robust Emergency Management Program we have in place today. Over the past 60 years, we’ve developed a comprehensive program based on a combination of regulatory compliance, operational need, industry best practices and lessons learned through regular exercises and actual incidents. Our emergency management team works hard to maintain and improve our equipment, programs and our relationships through continuous improvement and exercises. We regularly practice our plans and conduct about 20 emergency management training sessions each year. We use these exercises to train and practice together with local agencies and first responders that would be involved in an incident to ensure we keep the communities we operate in prepared. As a company and an industry, we understand the public is keenly interested in emergency response planning. As part of our ongoing commitment to transparency and ensuring public confidence in our response plans and efforts, we’ve posted our Emergency Response Plans (EPRs) for the Trans Mountain pipeline system on our website at transmountain. com, in compliance with a new National Energy Board regulation. To accommodate the proposed Expansion Project, we’re building on our existing program by developing an enhanced Emergency Management Program. Our goal is to

develop an industryleading program that reflects the added scope of the proposed Project. The enhanced program will include a greater focus on geographical response planning and we’ll also be reviewing our response equipment caches and other resources. Our approach includes maximizing local input and knowledge from stakeholders and Aboriginal communities. For the past three years, we’ve been seeking input through a series of workshops in communities with key municipal, regional and provincial staff, Aboriginal communities, emergency managers and first responders. These workshops are a great way to improve understanding, address concerns and identify areas where we can work collaboratively with communities. Currently we’re engaging with public safety agencies along the pipeline route on our proposed enhancements to ensure concerns are addressed. The input and feedback gathered will help ensure Trans Mountain has an industry-leading Emergency Management Program for incident prevention, response and recovery. The enhancements to our program are in addition to the more than $150 million investment in marine spill response that would happen if the Expansion Project proceeds. The investment in Western Canada Marine Response Corporation, the organization responsible for marine spill response on the West Coast, would fund five new marine response bases which would double response capacity and cut response times to half the mandated times. Safety is our number one priority. A chance of a spill ever happening on our pipeline is very small, however I can assure you we’re prepared to respond quickly with detailed emergency procedures and trained professionals.

BRIGHTLIGHTS! by Lisa King Syrian dinner and concert North Lonsdale United Church hosted a Syrian dinner and concert fundraising evening Sept. 24. The church is one of seven local united churches that have banded together in response to the humanitarian crisis created by the war in Syria. Known collectively as the North Shore United Refugee Response, the group has applied to sponsor two families, one of seven people and one of eight. Both families await extraction from a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees refugee camp in Erbil, northern Iraq, along with many others who hope to be reunited with relatives who live locally. The fundraising evening was intended to support the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts and ability to support the families over the course of at least one year. Guests bid on silent auction items, dined on a Syrian-themed dinner and took in performances by the Deep Cove Big Band, Kathy Fitzpatrick and Marcus Mosely.

Documentary digs deep into the life of jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan

A winter’s tale

! I Called Him Morgan (Sweden 2016, director Kasper Collin), International Village 10, Oct. 10, 1:45 p.m. as part of the Vancouver International Film Festival (viff.org). JOHN GOODMAN jgoodman@nsnews.com

Vancouver International Film Festival audiences will be among the first to see Swedish filmmaker Kasper Collin’s brilliant new documentary about the life and tragic death of the great jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan. I Called Him Morgan received its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September and since then has been shown at the Telluride, Toronto and New York film festivals before hitting VIFF this week.

After the screening in New York last weekend Richard Brody wrote in the New Yorker, “Collin builds ... a revelatory and moving portrait of a great musician and the other great people, whether celebrated (like musicians with whom Lee Morgan performed) or unheralded (like his common-law wife Helen), on whom his art and his life depended. It’s both a portrait of people and a historical landscape, a virtual vision of American times – the lives of black Americans in the age of Jim Crow and de-facto discrimination in the North – and of the artistry and personal style that arose in response to them.” A hard bop contemporary of Miles Davis, Morgan first made a name for himself as a teenager working in Dizzy Gillespie’s band before moving on to Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. He released his first album as a leader, Lee Morgan Indeed!, on the Blue Note label in 1957.

A debilitating addiction to heroin dogged Morgan for much of his professional life. When Helen Morgan first met him one New York winter’s day he had no coat, no shoes and no instrument, having pawned everything he had to feed his habit. She turned his life around. Gave him some food, a place to stay and ultimately became his business manager. Despite his hardscrabble lifestyle Morgan was one of the most recorded artists on the Blue Note label through the ’60s with Helen credited in helping him get his life back on track. And then she took it all away one February night at Slug’s Saloon in 1972. The gunshot shouldn’t have killed Morgan but there was so much snow on the streets of the Lower East Side that night the

Michelle Morgan proud of Heartland’s appeal

Entering 10th season, CBC series airs worldwide ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com

Michelle Morgan is often asked whether she’s like Lou Fleming, the character she’s played for the last 10 years on Heartland, CBC TV’s long-running family drama set on a horse ranch in the fictional town of Hudson, Alta.

“I think people always want actors to be just like the characters they play, but I’m an actor, I can play many characters,” says Morgan, who splits her time between West Vancouver and Alberta, where the show is filmed. While she has of course found lots of common ground between herself and her onscreen identity – for example, Lou’s role as a sister who cares deeply for her family and wants to take care of them, is most certainly relatable – in reality, Lou is a character she plays, and one she remains increasingly dedicated to playing well. “I really made her my own. I brought out some comedy in her that wasn’t there in the books,” says Morgan, referring to the novel series of the same name on which the television series is based. “The writers saw that I enjoyed playing comedy so that’s come out with Lou now. Her neuroses bring some levity

West Vancouver actor Michelle Morgan plays Lou on CBC’s long-running hit show Heartland. to the show, so I enjoy bringing that,” she says. Heartland’s 10th season premiered last Sunday night and currently holds the record for the longest-running hour-long drama in Canadian television history. Morgan continues to be impressed with and grateful

for the show’s continued success. “I remember there was a director in the first season of the show who said to me, ‘This is a great formula. This show is going to go seven seasons.’ And even to say that was ludicrous. We all laughed and said, ‘Well we should be so lucky.’

But here we are. He was right. I think you can attribute a lot of things to that but a big part of it is that the chemistry of the actors on the show really works and I think the show is very well cast,” she says. The cast is also multigenerational, helping to attract a variety of viewers for a variety

of reasons. “For the women and men my age, what they love about it is they can watch it as a family and that there’s something for everyone. … I had no children when we started the show and now I have two young kids and we can watch it all together and I really appreciate that

because there are very few shows that can hold all of our attentions. I think for the Fr younger audience they love, of course, the horses. I think they (also) love that they can relate to characters like Georgie who plays my adopted daughter on the show and she’s 15,” says Morgan. Another draw is the setting itself. Heartland, filmed mainly in the Calgary and High River areas, is watched in approximately 120 countries, giving viewers around the world a welcomed opportunity to see the Canadian landscape. Filming for season 10 is still underway and Morgan is excited about what it holds for her character. While Lou remains a very loyal and loving mother, her children have reached an age where Fr her entire life doesn’t have to revolve around them anymore, leaving her wondering what’s next? “I think a lot of parents feel like that. When you have young kids your whole world revolves around them for so long because they’re so dependent on you and when they get a bit older and they’re getting more independent and they become school-aged, I think a lot of parents feel … they’re not sure what their identity is anymore. So Lou went through that last season and now she’s like, ‘You know what, I think I know what I want,’” she says. Lou gets offered a business opportunity that could potentially take her away from the farm – an exciting yet daunting prospect – and in addition, her love life heats

up, says Morgan. “She’s dealing with her ex-husband who wants her back and her new potential love interest, Mitch, so that’s exciting for Lou. Lou sort of feels wanted again. She feels not just like a mother, but a woman again.” Morgan is also excited for what the new season holds for herself, proud of her continued efforts season in and season out to take every opportunity to give the show her all. “I never approached it as, ‘Well, I know this character, I know this show, I can coast.’ I’ve worked with an acting coach, I’ve really loved working with new directors and trying to glean ideas from them, and challenge myself, and make the writing shine or maybe change the writing so it’s better. I’ve always really worked hard to make the show the best it can be,” she says.

REVIEW: HELEN & EDGAR

A Southern gothic childhood lovingly told ! Helen & Edgar, York Theatre until Oct. 8. Call 604-251-1363 or go to thecultch.com for tickets. JO LEDINGHAM Contributing writer

Edgar Oliver brings his strange but true story about growing up with his mother and sister in Savannah, Georgia to the York Theatre stage.

New York City playwright/poet Edgar Oliver performs Helen & Edgar at the York Theatre through Oct. 8. PHOTO SUPPLIED SARA STACKE “Father” had, Edgar and Helen were told, died of a heart attack a year after Edgar was born. Deeply suspicious of everyone, especially of relatives who spread, Mother said, “vicious gossip”

about her, the three of them remained more or less cloistered in that old house. Edgar and Helen did go to school but had few friends because their schoolmates were convinced their house was haunted and

that their mother was a witch. And they did take a yearly trip to Baltimore to visit Edna, his maternal grandmother, although sometimes Mother would lose her nerve and turn around and drive home or

P: Eric Berger

The miracle of Helen & Edgar is that novelist, poet and playwright Edgar Oliver not only survived his very peculiar childhood but went on to turn life with his mad mother Louise Gibson Oliver and his one-and-a-half-year older sister Helen into theatre. “Beware of Savannah” and “Beware of other people,” his mother — referred to throughout as “Mother” — warned her two children growing up in their old Savannah, Georgia house. The house was full of “crates and boxes and armoires” and was surrounded by a sea of ivy in which green lizards lurked. The kitchen was unused because Helen, Edgar and Mother always ate in restaurants.

stay in Washington, DC in a rooming house instead. It’s a very strange and true story, but it’s the performance that’s absolutely mesmerizing. Oliver seems physically small and very vulnerable on stage,

almost moth-like. He walks with his head slightly forward, a little gnome-like figure dressed in black. His voice is captivating: apologetic, soft, rising and falling, slightly southern-accented and musical. His hands are like two pale birds slowly flying or clasped together as if in prayer. Alone on the York Theatre stage, he periodically moves aside and quietly takes a seat while images of his mother’s paintings are projected on a large screen: charming images of Helen and Edgar, of children in a park, children at the seaside, their Savannah house. Mother, however, wasn’t just strange – she was certifiably mad. Regularly she performed what Edgar and Helen called “her foolishness.” On the floor in front of a locked yellow suitcase, she performed a ritual: “1-2-3, 1-2-3, my little yellow suitcase is now all locked.” This was repeated for over an hour and was a regular occurrence. Sometimes she performed this ritual in public to the great embarrassment of the children. She made Helen and Edgar repeat together, “You

Sewing the seeds of love in Lynn Valley Three generations involved in new kids’ clothing line MARIA SPITALE-LEISK mspitale-leisk@nsnews.com

Michaela Garstin remembers a favourite outfit from her ‘90s childhood: a red crushed velvet dress handmade by her mother.

“I loved it so much,” says Garstin with a laugh, looking back at an iconic fashion trend from that decade. Now a mom herself, Garstin has started a kids’ clothing line inspired by her daughter Avalon – with a style decidedly more vintage than en vogue. “I knew exactly how I wanted to dress Avalon, but I couldn’t find what I was looking for. So we decided to make our own line of dresses and skirts,” says Garstin, who created Anne French Clothing with her mother Maureen Bowen. The mother-daughter seamstress duo, along with their “silent partner” Ava, sew soft cotton and linen fabric into graceful garments at the family home in Lynn Valley. Garstin said they chose cotton and linen materials, instead of synthetic fabrics, so the kids could feel more comfortable in the clothes. The cotton print and plaid outfits may have an old-time esthetic but are designed for girls to run around on the trails, climb trees and play in the leaves, like a typical North Shore kid. Less prim and proper and more play. Even the care instructions are low maintenance: just throw the clothes in the washing

machine and dryer. The name Anne French Clothing pays homage to Garstin’s great-grandmother, “a real character” and a “hardworking and sweet woman with a dry wit.” Each outfit from the clothing line has been given an old-fashion name, like Lillian and Clementine, taken from an 1880 United States census list Garstin found online. “I love that era of clothes, when a dress would be in family for years,” she says. “The pieces were well-worn, then mended and passed down to others.” While Anne French’s spring collection saw bright and cheery colours, the fall line, which launches this weekend, will have more of a West Coast influence with a focus on natural and muted tones. Last season the “Vivienne” dress in duck egg plaid proved to be the most popular. It seems Garstin has a budding fashionista on her hands, as two-year-old Avalon has a tendency to gravitate towards certain clothes she sees in the store window. Mom Michaela is hoping her daughter inherits the sewing gene. While there has been some local interest in Anne French Clothing – they set up shop at the Shipyards Night Market and Ambleside Farmers’ Market this summer – it seems some Texas moms are keen on the clothes. “Texas is hot, so they like the cotton material,” explains Garstin, who adds some of her Lone Star State customers

Maureen Bowen and daughter Michaela Garstin created a kids’ fashion line with a vintage esthetic, Anne French Clothing, inspired by Michaela’s daughter Avalon Bruchesi. PHOTO CINDY GOODMAN like that the dresses offer a bit more modesty and cover the shoulders. There’s a certain satisfaction Garstin says she gets knowing she makes her daughter’s clothes by hand. “When I look at them, I’m really proud of what we have done so far,” she says. “These are timeless pieces of clothing you remember from your childhood.” You can find Anne French Clothing at annefrenchclothing.com and at the Shipyards Christmas Market this winter.

REVIEW: DENIAL

Historical truth on trial in Holocaust drama Anthony Julius, the lawyer who handled Lady Diana’s divorce) are tasked with proving – more or less – that Irving is lying and that people were indeed gassed at Auschwitz during the Holocaust. There is a divide among the Jewish population in London about how to silence Irving: “Settle,” says a wealthy donor, “we’ve lived with worse.” But the case is also attended by concentrationcamp survivors desperate to have their voices heard. Also being silenced is Lipstadt herself: she will not take the stand in her own defense. “Stay seated, button your lip, and win,” instructs Julius. Thus the denial in the title refers both to Irving’s refusal to accept that six million Jews were slaughtered, as well as the self-denial Lipstadt has to master if she wants to win the case. Enter libel lawyer Richard Rampton (Tom Wilkinson), who will argue the case in the courtroom. Things between him and his client get off to a rocky start: Howard Shore’s score recedes into

! Denial. Directed by Mick Jackson. Starring Rachel Weisz, Timothy Spall and Tom Wilkinson. Rating: 7 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD Contributing writer

Methodically constructed and seamlessly executed, Denial delineates the 1996 court case between American author Deborah Lipstadt and debunked British historian/Holocaust denier David Irving.

Missing from the proceedings, however, is an emotional component that would have elevated Mick Jackson’s drama from smart to superb and stoked more outrage from viewers. Professor Lipstadt (Rachel Weisz) is giving a lecture at Atlanta’s Emory University when she is ambushed by Irving (Timothy Spall), a fan of Hitler and well-known Holocaust doubter whom she has called a liar in her recent book. As someone determined not to engage with people who say the Holocaust didn’t exist, being lured into a discussion – and

Rachel Weisz stars as American historian Deborah Lipstadt in Mick Jackson’s Denial. PHOTO SUPPLIED worse, having it filmed by an Irving flunkie for distribution on the Internet – is demoralizing for Lipstadt. “You can have opinions about the Holocaust, but I won’t meet with anyone who says it

didn’t happen.” Ever the showman, Irving waves $1000 to the college crowd, offering it to anyone who can prove the Holocaust happened. He famously said in a speech that “more

women died in the back seat of Senator Edward Kennedy’s car at Chappaquiddick” than ever died at Auschwitz. Not long after, a suit is leveled against Lipstadt and her publisher, Penguin

Family chronicle both funny and incurably sad Unflinching Polish “biopic” stays true to its own design

! The Last Family (Poland 2016, director Jan P. Matuszynski), Pacific Cinémathèque, Oct. 9, 6 p.m. as part of the Vancouver International Film Festival (viff.org). JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

The artist holds the mirror closely to the old woman’s mouth.

He sees fog. She’s still alive. “Too bad,” he remarks. The Last Family seems so bleak it feels like it should have a cinematic restraining order against funny. However, there’s a line of melanomablack humour running through this unflinching chronicle of a family steeped in eccentricity, misery, intelligence and that indefinable things that bonds families. We spend most of the movie with Polish surrealist artist (and Alicia Silverstone fan) Zdzislaw Beksinski. We meet his wife Zofia and their

Like John Ford with a handheld camera, filmmaker Jan P. Matuszynski loves compositions that include the whole family, leaving it to the viewer to follow whoever intrigues them most in The Last Family. PHOTO SUPPLIED deeply troubled son Tomasz, tracking all three through the narrow corridors of their apartment. With his penchant for tracking shots and shooting through doorways, director Jan P. Matuszynski gives us the sense we’re voyeurs, watching a family that’s unhappy in ways even Tolstoy didn’t anticipate. This is a movie about life and death. Well, mainly death. “Death is all around this family,” noted director Jan P. Matuszynski from behind

a cup off black coffee. “That sense of humour, that’s a part of this family.” Like John Ford with a handheld camera, Matuszynski loves compositions that include the whole family, leaving it to the viewer to follow whoever intrigues them most. Sandwiched between film festival appearances in Reykjavik and Montreal, Que., Matuszynski sits in a Marine Drive coffee shop and reflects on the movie’s “strange, dark, sense of humour.”

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING (WAIVED)

“Maybe it’s not for everybody, but it works.” That sense of humour is most daring and effective in the scenes focusing on Tomasz, who struggles with women, with sex, and the point of it all. It doesn’t feel like it should be funny, but when Tomasz is confronted with the silence of a psychologist (we assume he’s a psychologist because he’s a bearded man smoking a pipe) he reacts by threatening to pour gasoline over the office

to elicit a human reaction. It’s simultaneously comedic and incurably sad. Tomasz earned a notoriety in Poland as the radio personality that brought synth-based new wave hits to Poland’s airwaves. At one point we see him dance to Yazoo’s “Don’t Go” with such desperation we wonder how he’ll readjust when the song ends and life resumes. The use of seemingly disparate emotional tones becomes

more understandable after speaking with self-described “freak of art house cinema” Matuszynski, who speaks with equal enthusiasm about Ingmar Bergman and Jason Bourne. The Last Family is a biopic in the sense that it’s an account of real people, but it’s far removed from the slew of biographical movies we’ve seen in recent years. This isn’t like that movie where an angry

ambulance took forever to get there. He bled to death. Winter plays a big part in Morgan’s story with cinematographer Bradford Young’s opening 16mm shots of snow flakes coming down on a cold New York night setting the cinematic mood. Collin talked to the North Shore News the day after he first screened the film in New York City this week where many of Morgan’s friends and colleagues were in attendance. North Shore News: Jazz and film are two very specialized topics. How did you put the two together and get involved in making jazz films? Kasper Collin: I’m very music oriented. I love music almost more than anything. It’s been very important in my life. I made another documentary before this, called My Name is Albert Ayler, which was about a jazz musician. That film took seven years for me to make. That was my first feature documentary. I was finished in 2005 and I remember after making that film – because it is quite an endeavour to make those kinds of films and they can take a very long time – I thought I probably would not make a documentary like that again. I worked on some other projects but then seven years ago I was watching YouTube and I found this incredible clip of Lee Morgan playing with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers in 1961. They were performing Bobby Timmons’ – the piano player’s – composition “Dat Dere” and there was a Lee solo in there that moved me deeply. I kept watching it over and over for many days. I realized then that Lee Morgan was really something very special. I started to play around with the idea that there was maybe a film there. The research developed into the film we have now. North Shore News: Both your jazz documentaries deal with musicians whose lives were cut short. Kasper Collin: I must say I didn’t know much about Lee Morgan when I first saw the clip on YouTube. That came after actually. With Albert I knew more when I started. When I do these kinds of projects they take a long time. I’m doing it from passion and I’m coming from the music side. It all started with me discovering this very talented musician and the sound of his horn and his phrasing. That was the start of it for me. I only knew about Lee earlier from his album The Sidewinder and of course I had been listening

Trumpeter Lee Morgan performing in concert with drummer Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. His addiction to heroin got him kicked out of the band in 1961. PHOTO SUPPLIED to a lot of musicians in the Blue Note catalogue. Because I’m coming a little bit more from the experimental side, improvisational and free jazz The Sidewinder was not really a record I (listened to) but when I saw Lee in this clip I discovered a new Morgan. I started listening to his music and found a lot of incredible stuff. It starts with the music and my passion for it.

North Shore News: What was involved in researching the material for the film? Kasper Collin: You’ve got to try and see if there is a possibility to make a film. You have to find how much material exists. That was one of the fascinating things about Lee because there were so many people that knew him and were still around. I started to do some interviews with

people that were close to Lee and that was special for me because I knew about The Sidewinder and I knew about a woman had shot him but I didn’t know anything about her – that is something you could read in Wikipedia but no one seemed to know who she was. They immediately started to talk about Lee’s last four years and they started to talk about Helen and what

a lovely person she had been and how much she had helped him. They said she had saved him from his addiction and helped him to get over that.

Hard bop jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan was shot at Slug’s Saloon between sets on Feb. 19, 1972. Kasper Collin’s documentary, I Called Him Morgan, tells his story through interviews, still photographs and music. PHOTOS SUPPLIED

Helen Morgan helped Lee get off street and back on his feet From page 39

Kasper Collin: She grew up in the southern U.S. and had her first children at 13 and 14. She just decided to go away and somehow got to New York and created another life. She actually became Lee Morgan’s manager. It’s quite a journey she makes. Then a tragic thing occurs and she kills Lee Morgan and returns to the south again. The film follows her story as well. The film is about Lee Morgan and Helen and about the music that brought these two people together.

to talk about those last four years. It was something that was important for them in their lives and the project sort of navigated toward that relationship story between Morgan and Helen. North Shore News: Larry Reni Thomas’ cassette tape is an incredible document in itself. If he hadn’t interviewed Helen the story we know would be quite different. Kasper Collin: I got in contact with him and got a chance to listen to the tape. He made a copy of it I think in 2009. That’s an extremely important document for the film. I didn’t know in the beginning exactly how I was going to use it but the more people I met I realized it would (need to be part of the film). It’s fantastic material. Also fantastic to find were the still photos. I knew about Blue Note and Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff, the two German guys that founded it, and I knew Francis was an excellent photographer but I had no idea how many photographs he actually took. Lee Morgan was one of the most recorded artists on Blue Note along with Hank Mobley. I went to the photo archive thinking I would find some nice photos to use. Lee Morgan started to record for Blue Note in 1956 when he was 18 years old. They covered every session with still photos. Lee was documented up to 1967 in black and white pictures and after that in coloured slides. There were 165 negative black and white sets I could find in the archives from different

Swedish filmmaker Kasper Collin uses extensive archival footage in his new documentary. PHOTO HENRIK ANDERSSON sessions with Morgan. Almost 2,000 still photos documenting those years in his life – just incredible material to work with. I made copies of the shots and took them home to Sweden. I had an assistant who scanned them and we made enlargements of them. This was an important part of the editing process. I remember me and one of the editors were editing in her apartment and we spread a lot of the photographs out on her living room floor and we were just crawling around because you could really see those amazing stories and episodes within those negative sheets. The photographs are so special because you can see the love and the joy and the communion between the musicians. I worked a lot with the photos and tried to use them in the best possible way within the film.

North Shore News: It’s amazing that Lee could function with all the drug problems he had. Helen gets a lot of the credit for pulling him back together. Kasper Collin: He was really down and out and they met around 1967. She helped him back. Those last records that he made Live at the Lighthouse and the posthumous recording (The Last Session) – that’s really amazing music that he’s giving to us. She was extremely important in helping him get back on the scene again. North Shore News: Her story also, in a general sense, touches on the postwar migration of southern black culture north into urban centres. As a teenager she moved from a North Carolina farm to New York City to make her own way in the world. Quite different surroundings from what she was accustomed to.

North Shore News: Who was at the screening in New York? Kasper Collin: There was a lot of people there from the fllm – Billy Harper, Paul West, Larry Reni Thomas, Larry Ridley – Reggie Workman, he was not in the film but he was someone who was close to Lee. I’m probably forgetting somebody. It was a very special evening with a long Q and A at the end. NorthShoreNews:In the film it’s great to hear Wayne Shorter’s take on everything. He knew Lee from very early on. Kasper Collin: I really wanted him to be part of this film because I knew how close Lee and he had been when he was really developing as an artist in Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. Wayne rarely speaks about his relationship with Lee. It took me four years to get him on board. At first we were trying to edit the film without him but when we had him it was so great because he is talking about Lee as an artist on the same level as he is.

Matuszynski draws story right from Beksinski’s life From page 35 woman demands Ray Charles get out of her house, and he starts playing the organ riff for “Hit the Road, Jack.” (“Ah, that’s where that came from,” we’re meant to think). “I never wanted to do a biopic (like) that,” Matuszynski says. “I just wanted (the paintings) to hang on the wall.” Matuszynski drew right from Beksinski’s life. With recording devices constantly in hand, Beksinski essentially wrote his life story as he was living it. For Matuszynski, there was far more cinematic inspiration in Beksinski’s VHS recordings of his family than anything he painted. Much like Beksinski refrained from lowering his

camera in even the most emotionally fraught moments of his life, Matuszynski resists cutting. There’s one soul-baring scene in which Zofia tries to convince Tomasz that life is worth living, or at least trying. The camera is still. Tomasz pours out his insecurities and his helplessness. The audience starts to squirm. We beg for a cut, a break, a respite. But this is a rare film that’s as tough on its audience as it is on its characters. American writer Kurt Vonnegut once wrote that a, “plausible mission of artists is to make people enjoy being alive at least a little bit.” The Last Family may not pass the Vonnegut test. Instead, it offers honesty. The Last Family isn’t a true story. It’s true.

are the best, funnest [sic], most beautiful mother in the whole world and you cook the best food” — although she never cooked. She implored them to reassure her that she wasn’t “a grownup.” Helen and Edgar complied with all her wishes. Strangely, in spite of his mother’s bizarre behaviour and his peculiar childhood, Helen & Edgar is a love story. There isn’t the slightest hint of complaint against Mother and, in an interview with the Straight, Oliver says his childhood wasn’t unhappy. In fact, it was – in its way – rich. The three of them read and sketched and led hugely imaginative lives where the ivy lizards were imagined to be scorpions and where the Ouija board revealed secrets. Today, Family Services would move in on such a family; the children would be removed, would eat Froot Loops for breakfast and watch cartoons on Saturday mornings. But Oliver makes strange and beautiful theatre out of his childhood. Long-form scripted storytelling is not for everyone. It takes patience to let the story unfold and a willingness to let go, to follow Edgar, Helen and Mother down the rabbit hole to wherever they’re going. Lovingly told, Helen & Edgar celebrates Louise Gibson Oliver, who seems to emerge from the pages of a Tennessee Williams play. Edgar Oliver counts on us – the audience – to treat Mother with the kindness of strangers. And we do. – Jo Ledingham writes for our sister paper the Vancouver Courier.

Wilkinson delivers emotional punch

From page 39

the background during a scene at Auschwitz, where Lipstadt, Rampton and others take a somber tour of the ruins, gathering information. Rampton’s clinical response infuriates a tearful Lipstadt, who responds to his perceived coldness by saying a Jewish prayer for the dead at the site. But thank goodness for Rampton, for the case and for the audience. The reliably excellent Wilkinson is the

most human character in the film; he also delivers the film’s most potent emotional punch (after the verdict is rendered) by not saying a single word. Weisz is suitably fiery as the outraged Lipstadt, in a role that might have exposed more of the woman’s personal history. Spall (remarkably changed by recent weight loss) is also great as the repugnant charmer who penned a racist song for his infant daughter and defended charges of

racism by saying that among members of his household staff he had employed several Jamaican and Pakistani nannies who had attractive breasts. “What you can’t do is lie and expect not to be accountable for it…. The earth is round, the icecaps are melting, and Elvis is not alive.” Parallels to America’s current political campaign aside, Denial is an important – if occasionally sterile – examination of where the parameters of free speech lie.

Bill will be fondly remembered by his many friends, past co-workers, and will forever and always be remembered and dearly missed by the Wotton family. To write a condolence for the family, please visit www.mckenziefuneralservices.com.

John Gawlick passed away due to complications from diabetes. He will be sadly missed and remembered by his sons Roy (Heather) and Peter (Sonia), his daughter Susan (Mike), and his grandsons Ryan, Dallas, Andrew, Thomas, Max and Christopher. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Seymour Golf and Country Club, 3723 Mt Seymour Pkwy, North Vancouver, on October 14th, 2016 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Canadian Diabetes Association in John’s name would be appreciated.

HUGET, Carolyn Margaret (nee Morash) March 22, 1931 - September 29, 2016 My loyal, loving, generous, kind and modest wife, chauffeuse and helpmate passed away peacefully on the evening of September 29 at Lions Gate Hospital. Carolyn, the only daughter of Bernard and Laura Morash, was born in Kingston, New York. She came with her parents and brother Bill to Toronto in 1932 where we met and married in 1958. In 1962 we moved to Vancouver.

Ollie passed away peacefully while sunbathing in Cuba beside Elmer, the love of her life and husband of 66 years. A matriarch dedicated to her family, Ollie was mother to Ramona (Tom), Dan (Cheryl), Ken (Lori), Denise (Greg), Janet (Trevor) and Robert (Rosa), and delighted in her twelve grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Born January 15, 1927 to William and Katherine Bohoslowich, the youngest of six children, Ollie grew up in Nanaimo where she met Elmer at a dance. Over the years, they were admired by many for how they lit up the dance floor. Together they laughed and loved, played tennis, camped and travelled. An executive secretary, Ollie helped Elmer during his university years with her office skills and then chose to be at home to raise their family. She could do it all - crochet, knit, sew, bake bread, cook amazing meals, and was legendary for her blackberry pies and jam. Through her own example, she taught her children the value of persistence, hard work, generosity and resilience. Ollie enjoyed a wide circle of friends in the neighborhood, on the tennis courts, RV-ing in sunny destinations, at costume-theme parties and happy-hour gatherings. Her Catholic faith was a constant source of strength. The prayers and innumerable candles lit for birthdays, anniversaries, and difficult times brought comfort and blessings to many. Any sadness at her loss is made more bearable knowing she is happy and with God. She will be forever loved and sadly missed. Her funeral will be held October 14, 11AM, with reception to follow at Holy Trinity Church, 2725 Lonsdale Ave, North Vancouver.

PRACTICAL NURSING

Carolyn was very involved in sports as a teenager. She was Sports Captain at St. Clements School in Toronto and was studying Physical Education at the University of Toronto when she was diagnosed with porphyria in 1951. She was paralysed from the neck down but with her fierce determination and loving care from her parents and therapists she eventually was able to swim and walk again, albeit with some pain, when she met me. She had to give up her active participation in many sports so she took up bridge, needlework and painting to become proficient in them. She was such a wonderful cook that she prepared only four meals that I didn’t enjoy during our 57+ years of marriage. She also enjoyed gardening and travelling by car and on cruise ships so we were fortunate to see much of the world together and meet so many interesting people. Carolyn was a genuine people person and a true friend to everyone she knew. She always had sparkling blue eyes, a warm smile and a cheerful greeting for everyone she met. Her brother Bill and I, together with our many nieces and nephews and our host of friends, miss her so much.

SPROULE, Warner Russell (P. Eng) July 5, 1924 – October 1, 2016 With great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Russ in West Vancouver where he resided with Jean, his wife of 69 years. Russ was born and raised in Davidson, Saskatchewan before leaving to further his education and pursue his career in mining. He attended the University of Saskatchewan, played on the Huskies hockey team and graduated with a degree in Geological Engineering (1946). He went on to receive his Masters at Queens (1952).

A memorial service for Carolyn will be held at Mount Seymour United Church, 1200 Parkgate Avenue, North Vancouver on Friday, October 14, 2016 at 1:00 PM.

Russ married Jean in 1947 and they lived in Yellowknife, Kimberley, Trail, Pine Point, and West Vancouver during his 42-year career with Cominco. After retiring from Cominco (Teck) as Chief Geologist he spent several years consulting, including visits to mining properties around the world.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Carolyn’s name to the Kidney Foundation of Canada or to the charity of your choice.

A keen sportsman, he enjoyed baseball, hockey, curling, tennis, badminton, bird and big game hunting and in the later years golf. In retirement Russ and Jean applied their shared passion for gardening to their West Vancouver property. Many enjoyable days were spent golfing with friends at Gleneagles locally and at Rolling Hills Golf Club during several winters spent in Tucson, Arizona

Fans of symmetry might be thrown off by the three-door design of the Hyundai Veloster, but the quirky set-up actually suits this sporty little hatchback quite well. The Turbo version adds a tuned up suspension and more power, giving this asymmetrical character some more charm. It is available at Jim Pattison Hyundai in the Northshore Auto Mall. PHOTO SUPPLIED

Quirky Veloster has its charms The asymmetrical Veloster hatchback has got to be one of the quirkiest machines on the market.

Grinding Gears Brendan McAleer

It’s shaped a bit like one of those overstuffed skateboarding shoes, and has three doors: two normal ones up front and a little vestigial one on the right rear for backseat passengers. When it launched, Hyundai made a lot of noise

about the Veloster being a return of the sporty hatchback. Not so much – it was more a fancy looking Elantra, with soft handling and modest power. Decent on fuel though. However, here’s the Veloster Turbo, which, if the name isn’t a dead giveaway, comes with more power. Does bolting on some forced induction and tuning up the suspension add a little sport

into Hyundai’s littlest hatchback? Let’s find out.

DESIGN Human beings like symmetry. It’s hardwired right into our brains to seek it out. Thus, you’d expect the Veloster’s odd three-doored layout to be jarring – but it weirdly isn’t. Perhaps it’s because you spend most of your time looking at that massive grille.

Like every other car on the market, the Veloster has succumbed to Gawping Grille Syndrome (GGS), and looks a bit like a trout about to hoover down a hapless water beetle. All the elements to make this a really sporty trout are here: standard 18-inch alloys, gaping rear twin-pipe exhaust, projector headlights with LED accenting, and unique side sills. The

Veloster Turbo may be an oddball, but it’s a speedy looking thing.

ENVIRONMENT The interior is similarly strange-yet-sporty, and features unique, angular grab handles for the doors. The seats have very large bolstering, and say “Turbo” right on them, just in case you forgot.

VW rebuilds with electric offerings

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

BEETLE, GOLF, I.D. : VW’S ELECTRIC FUTURE In a way, the diesel scandal has been the best possible thing to happen to Volkswagen. On one hand, the brand finds itself deeply wounded by the taint of failure and cover-up. On the other hand, there’s nowhere to go but up. Part mea culpa for trying to game the system, part vision of the future, VW’s newly released I.D. Concept is possibly the most important car since the VW Golf. The company was founded on the simple, honest nature of the Beetle. It grew with the front-drive modernity of the Golf. Now, Volkswagen looks to the horizon with a modular electric platform, starting with the I.D. hatch. Both the Beetle and the Golf became icons because of their charisma. The former was the Love Bug, the latter had the GTI. The I.D. won’t make waves in the same way: it’s not going to be a driver’s car, but an autonomous EV. Initial range is intended to extend to 600 kilometres. A launch is planned for 2020,

with autonomous models by 2025. A company with the R&D resources and production capabilities of VW has the ability to effect huge change in a short time. Expect the I.D. to be the next wave of the people’s car.

OR HOW ABOUT A TESLA MODEL S HEARSE? Are you dead? Sorry, silly question. Are you nearly dead? Concerned about being ferried to the morgue in a gas-guzzling Cadillac? Not to worry: now you can glide to your final resting place on electrons only. Built by Dutch coachbuilding company RemetzCar, the Model S hearse features a glassed-in rear canopy and plenty of room for an environmentally oriented stiff. Thanks to the Tesla’s low-mounted battery pack, there’s still space for two living passengers, and a large rear greenhouse. Let’s just think about this further for a second. The Model S has been out for a while now, and with well-heeled owners eagerly switching to the latest model as fast as they come out, there’s soon to be a glut of used Teslas on the market.

So why not turn them into working cars? You could have Tesla bread delivery trucks, Tesla minivans, Tesla pickups. If I was building one, I’d strip off the bodywork and make a six-seater convertible. Why not? Life, as proved by our EV hearse, is too short not to try new things. BMW PLANNING EV VERSION OF MINI COOPER From the “why haven’t they already done this?” file comes news of an all-electric Mini variant. If the Mini Cooper is supposed to be an ultra-urban runabout, why wouldn’t it plug into the wall? With the i3 already boasting a useful 180+ km range, an all-electric Mini could be arriving at just the right time. Already, Mini buyers are willing to pay premiums for style and features – adding in solid torque and the ability to run on electrons only just makes sense.

DODGE RAM REBEL TRX IS THE OFFROAD HELLCAT Electric vehicles are likely the future of transportation. In the meantime, let’s get some supercharged V-8s in here, am I right? Yee-haw, etc. The Ram Rebel is a counter-salvo to the Ford

Raptor, but it currently lacks a little steam. Actually, it’s fine as is, but in the world of pickup trucks, less isn’t more. More is more. That’s why it’s called more. The Ram Rebel TRX is essentially a pickup truck with a Hellcat engine. Detuned to produce a little more low-end torque, its 6.2-litre V-8 makes a healthy 575 horsepower, with an eight-speed transmission putting the power down. Add in a long-travel suspension and skid-plating, and you’re looking at the new shortcut between Harrison and Pemberton.

THE RETURN OF THE HONDA CIVIC TYPE R A Honda can receive no higher award than the Type R badge. Whether it’s an Integra, an NSX, or a Civic, adding the vaunted R to a Honda product means it’s the best the company can produce. After decades of drought, it’s coming back. At first glance, the new Civic Type R concept looks a lot like a Subaru STI. There’s a big wing, there’re plenty of flares and scoops, and the styling is way over the top. For maximum crazy factor, you even get a trio of exhaust pipes out back a la Ferrari F40.

Subtle it is not. However, we are getting the Type R Civic and that’s great news for all Honda fans. If the

max-attack car is too much, there’ll likely be a dialled-back

Turbo option brings feisty fun Classic car run From page 48

The rest of the interior is based around the flyingV vents that surround the infotainment centre. The seven-inch touchscreen works perfectly well, but is getting a little dated. It plays a little tune for you when you start or stop the car. Cargo space is ample, albeit with a large sill for you to haul things over. Rear seat space is fine for the kids, or good enough for shorter adult passengers in a pinch. PERFORMANCE The big recent change to the Veloster Turbo isn’t the addition of turbocharging, but its new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. I’m afraid we have a little bad news here. But first, the good stuff. The Hyundai’s 201 horsepower turbocharged 1.6-litre engine is feisty and fun, and the equal of that found in the Ford Fiesta ST. It makes peak power at 6,000 r.p.m., and

a solid 195 foot-pounds of torque from just 1,750 r.p.m. That kind of power in a light little front-driver should be a blast, and the Veloster Turbo does indeed deliver some pretty decent cornering and acceleration figures. However, the variable-weight steering delivers almost no feedback at all, so the driver doesn’t really have the confidence to go snaking up their favourite backroad. As a highway car, the Veloster makes a lot more sense, with decent passing power and a comfortable ride. However, the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission needs a little dissection. Most dual-clutch gearboxes deliver crisp, quick shifts that provide superior driver engagement. If engagement is what you’re looking for, Hyundai will sell you a six-speed manual in your Veloster Turbo. More work needs to be done programming the seven-speed. Especially when cold, it has a tendency to hold in neutral and often takes too long to downshift and go. Turbo lag from the Veloster’s punchy engine isn’t a problem, but transmission lag is.

So, the Veloster Turbo displays essentially the same cruiser-first characteristics as the base car, just with more power and cornering. It’s an interesting proposition, but not a replacement for a Mini Cooper S or a VW GTI.

FEATURES If the Veloster Turbo isn’t a track special, it really shines in the feature department. Almost everything is standard on this little car, from leather seats to touchscreen navigation to heated seats and a heated steering wheel. At $28,699 to start, that’s pretty good value, getting you a loaded-out car for the same price as base versions of traditional performance choices. There’s even a standard panoramic sunroof. Fuel economy is solid. Official ratings are 8.9 (litres/100 kilometres) in the city and 7.1 on the highway. Real world results are pretty close to the official figures.

From page 49 Si version with most of the performance.

SUBARU WRX As a counterpoint to the Veloster’s asymmetrical appeal, check out the symmetrical all-wheel drive of the Subaru WRX. Sales have been on a tear of late, thanks to the addition of a CVT automatic option after years of manual-only. Like Hyundai’s

TODAY

GONE TOMORROW

dual-clutch, a CVT isn’t really the performance enthusiast’s choice. Subaru, however, has been able to program some fun into their offering, and if it still feels a little rubberbandy from time to time, it’s also a slingshot. The WRX is more expensive than the Veloster Turbo, and if you stretch to make the payments, you’ll be leaving some of those amenities behind. Still, if performance is your bag, the WRX’s added power and traction are hard to ignore. mcaleer.nsnews@gmail.com

THANKSGIVING CLASSIC CAR RUN Never mind the weather: this Monday, Oct. 10, get up early and join the classic cars headed up to Squamish for the annual Thanksgiving run. A charity event held to support local food banks, the Thanksgiving run is a perpetual favourite, and a great way to sign off for the year if you’re going to put your vintage car in storage for winter. If you’re interested, meet up at Capilano University on Monday at 8 a.m., then cruise up to Squamish in style. Make sure to bring along a nonperishable food item for the food bank. Watch this space for all the best and worst of automotive news, or submit your own auto oddities to mcaleer.nsnews@ gmail.com.
