Spike in property crime JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

Property crime is up significantly on the North Shore in recent months, with rates of residential break-ins in West Vancouver and thefts from vehicles in North Vancouver among those on the increase.

The hike in local property crime reflects a similar trend across the Lower Mainland, say police. And while numbers on the North Shore are still relatively low, police say they’re concerning. “If I was to appear at council last year or even the year before I’d have been gloating about our stats,” North Vancouver RCMP Supt. Chris Kennedy told District of North Vancouver councillors recently. “I’m not gloating now.” In North Vancouver, theft from autos in 2016 are up 40 per cent over 2015, with

Police find gun following school threat

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

North Vancouver RCMP say they have recovered a gun after an international student at Seycove secondary allegedly threatened a teacher.

The student threatened to “bring a gun to school and do harm to a teacher” on Tuesday morning, according to North Vancouver RCMP spokesman Cpl. Richard De Jong. Upon learning of the threat, police responded to the school and arrested the student. Later in the day, Seycove principal Mark James sent an email to parents, saying the RCMP determined the school was safe and classes had resumed as

Revolver recovered off school grounds; Seycove international student expelled, deported normal. At the time, police said no gun had been found. Late Wednesday, however, RCMP investigators found a gun “off of school grounds.” “It was a revolver,” De Jong said. “Police found it through information that was received.” James sent a second email to parents just after noon on

Thursday, informing them of the update and that the RCMP have stepped up their investigation. “It’s a very serious incident. Fortunately, nobody was hurt. It could have gone the other way. The safety of the students and teachers is a priority for the district and the police. We are treating this as a priority with a lot of resources,” De Jong said. Police are saying very little about the case, including how the student got the gun, where it was found, whether it was loaded or whether the student had access to ammunition, what motivated the threat or whether the gun was even

TRANSPORTATION: FIXED LINK STUDY

Bridges to Sunshine Coast plan examined BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

North Shore residents, and folks from all around Howe Sound, are being asked to weigh in on a plan to connect the Lower Mainland directly to the Sunshine Coast via a series of new roads and bridges.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure debuted four concepts under consideration for a fixed link to the Sunshine Coast last week. Among them: The option dubbed the Powell River Road Link that stretches 200 kilometres from the Sea to Sky Highway north of Squamish all the way around the north end of Jervis Inlet and south again to Powell River. The result would be a three-hour drive from Horseshoe Bay and a price tag of $2.5 to $3 billion. Under this option, both BC Ferries routes that serve Sunshine Coast residents would remain in place. A more direct road being considered would have the new two-lane highway trace the western side of Howe Sound from Squamish as far as Port Mellon. The route would take about twice as long as the current ferry trip and come with a cost of $1.5 to $2 billion, according to the province’s estimates. The third and most direct option would see two bridges span Howe Sound over to Anvil Island and then across to McNabb Creek with a new road linking up with Port Mellon. High-level cost approximations are $2 to $2.5 billion, but it would take just 40 minutes to get from Langdale to Horseshoe Bay, engineers estimate. A fourth option considers linking the lower Sunshine Coast with Powell River via a bridge. The province says a fixed link would be more reliable for Coast residents than BC Ferries, and it would bolster economic growth for the region, that currently has just 30,000 residents. But residents on this side of Howe Sound have questioned multibillion-dollar price tags and the inevitable traffic the fixed link would inject onto already clogged local roads. West Vancouver-Sea to Sky MLA Jordan Sturdy said that’s not something he would want to see happen. “I think we need to see a diversified economy and employment opportunities so that people aren’t forced back to Metro to work,” he said. “I would have the same objective on the Sunshine Coast. The goal is to improve connectivity and improve opportunity but at the same time, if the objective is to make it into a bedroom community, then we’re really just extending sprawl and not necessarily creating a better place on either side of the water.”

Tax ‘educator’ to be sentenced for counselling fraud JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

A Crown prosecutor will likely seek a significant jail sentence for a former North Vancouver man found guilty of counselling fraud by teaching people to evade paying taxes for almost a decade under a discredited scheme. A sentencing hearing is scheduled next month for

Michael Spencer Millar, who was also found guilty in B.C. Supreme Court of making false statements on his tax returns by understating his taxable income by $93,000, and evading income tax and paying GST over several years. Millar is one of several people in the Lower Mainland who were charged following a Canada Revenue Agency investigation into the Paradigm Education Group.

During a trial before Justice Victoria Gray, court heard the Millar earned fees as an “educator” for Paradigm and showed people who enrolled in a course how to evade taxes through debunked interpretations of the Income Tax Act focusing on the idea of a “natural person.” According to court documents, investigators seized a number of Paradigm teaching materials found

when they searched Millar’s home and storage locker on Fullerton Avenue under warrant in August 2010. Those documents, along with banking records and other Paradigm materials seized from the home of a Chilliwack couple associated with Paradigm, were entered as evidence in Millar’s trial in B.C. Supreme Court in June. Court heard from one witness during the trial who testified she ended up

having to pay back taxes and interest to the Canada Revenue Agency after admitting to the taxman that she’d filed tax returns on the basis of Millar’s teaching. In a related case, prosecutors are seeking a two-year jail term for a Burnaby man, Keith David Lawson, 46, who was also convicted of income tax and GST evasion, plus counselling others to commit fraud in his role as an educator with Paradigm.

A judge is expected to make a decision on his sentence Oct. 31. Russell Porisky, the Chilliwack man who was the leader of the group, was sentenced in July to five and a half years in prison for similar offences. In that case, court heard Porisky was involved in teaching hundreds of people to evade paying taxes, resulting in a loss of millions of dollars in tax revenue.

EDGEMONT: 22-UNIT APARTMENT

Small condo triggers big debate at DNV council BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

It was just 22 apartment units in Edgemont Village, but District of North Vancouver council debated like the soul of North Vancouver was at stake Monday night.

Council members sparred for three-quarters of an hour with virtually no mention of the strengths or weaknesses of the project proposed for the corner of Connaught Crescent and Crescentview Drive. Instead, the debate centred on whether multi-family projects of any kind ought to be considered. Coun. Jim Hanson acknowledged the need to create more housing in the district, but said he could not support the proposal going to a public hearing when he has so many constituents complaining to him about the North Shore’s already existing traffic. Hanson then moved a motion to scrap the proposed rezoning. “Day after day after day, we face very serious transportation issues throughout the district,” he said. “Obviously it is a multi-faceted problem. We are required to rethink, as a society, our transportation model. It involves many levels of government and many issues but I have reached a point where I can no longer in good conscience allow additional developments of this type in locations that have notoriously high congestion.”

Coun. Lisa Muri agreed, rattling off a list of projects that had been either been filed or given approval by council. “It’s becoming too much. We’re full. We need to step back and take a breather,” she said. Coun. Doug MacKay-Dunn joined in opposing the project moving to a public hearing, not because of its specifics but because of a “tsunami of development” in Edgemont and the construction fatigue experienced by residents there. It wasn’t enough to halt the project, though, as the majority on council felt it, at the very least, should go to a public hearing. Coun. Mathew Bond, a transportation systems engineer, said the project accomplishes one of the main goals of the official community plan – moving more people to walkable neighbourhoods, meaning shops and services can be readily accessed without having to get into a car and contribute to traffic congestion. “The issues that we’re facing today are an outcome of the status quo. I have not seen any compelling argument that convinces me that doing nothing or slowing down is going to make any of our transportation issues better,” he said. “At the best, they’ll stay the same. At the worst, they’re going to get a lot worse.” Coun. Hicks too argued much of the blame for the

traffic is being assigned in the wrong place. “What’s happening on the North Shore is taking place all over the Lower Mainland,” he said, noting Highway 1 is the cradle for our congestion problems. “That will remain despite all the buildings that go on the North Shore because (the traffic) is due to through-put from east to west and commuters.” The project – a 22-unit apartment and single-family house at 3105 and 3115 Crescentview – is in keeping with the Edgemont Village refresh planning process, Coun. Roger Bassam noted, and the district is already spending millions for upgrades to Ironworkers bridgehead, bicycle lanes, and replacements for the Keith Road and Montroyal bridges. “We absolutely are looking after our transportation network and we understand how important that is to our quality of life,” he said. Mayor Richard Walton added, while he too gets caught in daily slowdowns through the village, two of the biggest projects in the neighbourhood are nearly complete. “You’re going to find that 60 or 70 per cent of the construction around Edgemont Village is going to be finished within three months,” he said. “I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.” The public will have a chance to weigh in on the project on Nov. 22.

Edgemont, Lynn Valley property crime hot spots, stats show From page 1

over 1,100 of those crimes reported to date compared to 791 last year. Despite public perceptions that the Deep Cove area has been targeted, the majority of the thefts happened in Lynn Valley and Edgemont, say police. “Those are the two hot spots we’re focusing on,” said Cpl. Richard De Jong, spokesman for the North Vancouver RCMP. Kennedy told local leaders at both city and district municipal halls the RCMP is putting resources into the problem, including making it a focus of the detachment’s “strike force” that targets prolific criminals. But the problem is complicated, he said. “Hopefully within six

months we’ve put a dent into it.” Kennedy said police have up to 10 suspects on a “watch list.” He added investigators believe those responsible for most of the crime are coming over to the North Shore from areas like Surrey and the Downtown Eastside. Statistically most of the thefts happen “Tuesday night at 2 o’clock in the morning,” he said. But Kennedy said residents also need to do a better job of not providing criminals with easy opportunities. “Up to 60 per cent of the vehicles that are broken into are unlocked,” he said. “Lock your car. It’s a very affluent community and people relax.” Other crimes that are up

in North Vancouver include residential break-ins, up 43 per cent over 2015, and bike thefts, up 13 per cent. In West Vancouver, there’s been a similar trend, despite small numbers of crimes. Between January and September, there were 97 residential break-ins compared with 74 for the whole year in 2015, said Const. Jeff Palmer, spokesman for the West Vancouver police. Last year, West Vancouver was averaging six residential break-ins a month. This year, it’s 11. Shoplifting, fraud and theft from vehicles are also up in West Vancouver. “These are disappointing numbers. We’re doing everything we can to address it,” said Palmer. Most thieves are targeting jewelry, electronics and

anything else that can be grabbed quickly and easily. In the case of residential break-ins, thieves have got in through balcony doors and sliding doors to bedrooms, said Palmer. In some cases, the houses weren’t locked. He suggested residents who have items of particular value consider storing them off their property, in a safety deposit box, for instance. Both Palmer and Kennedy stressed the North Shore is still a safe community. “When we’re worrying about theft offences as our No. 1 issue, I hate to say it’s a good thing,” Kennedy told councillors. To put it in perspective, in North Vancouver, “we’re only 2.5 per cent of the break-and-enters that occur in the Lower Mainland,” he said.

Second international student under investigation From page 1 carried on school grounds. “I would imagine there’s probably 500 questions that people are going to have,” De Jong said. “A lot of that information, if it is going to come out, it will come out through the courts if there are charges.” Charges, however, may be difficult as the student was expelled and deported on Wednesday, according to the school district.

A second international student, who was an acquaintance of the first, is also now under investigation. He has been suspended but the school district’s disciplinary process for him was not yet complete on Thursday, according to Deneka Michaud, North Vancouver school district spokeswoman. There were no warning signs that the student may have posed a threat, Michaud said. “Any warning sign that ever comes up would be

investigated by the school district for any student, whether international or local. If any type of warning sign or information comes available where a potential threat could arise … it would be addressed immediately.” International students are vetted before they are selected to come here, Michaud said. The school district will now review everything that’s happened to see if there are gaps in its policies, Michaud

said. “Whenever we have a critical incident of any kind, we always debrief and we always review our procedures, just to make sure everything worked, and if there did need to be tweaks,” she said. “It appears at this time that the procedures that were followed worked really well and were able to ensure the safety of students and staff. We’re very pleased with and relieved as well by that, but certainly we’ll get together and debrief.”

nother day, another lawsuit filed against an energy company. As though hurling rocks at an approaching tank, environmentalists and Aboriginal groups filed a fistful of federal writs aimed at the recently approved LNG project near Prince Rupert. If the federal government approves the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion – or frankly, any project that poses an environmental risk – similar court battles will likely ensue. It’s a peculiar time when edicts from elected governments are merely a prelude to the judgment of the courts. But if these lawsuits seem annoying, maybe we should be annoyed more often. The Earth’s animal population declined nearly 60 per cent in the last 45 years, according to the World Wildlife Fund. Most of the devastation is due to land

being cleared but climate change also contributes heavily. When making decisions that will shape Canada’s environment and economy, we hope judges will be mindful of the potential for human error in any endeavour. A few months back, a prominent medical journal released a report suggesting the third leading cause of death in the United States is medical error. More recently, we saw a tugboat run aground off Bella Bella. A CBC crew observed a slick that stretched for kilometres. But what was most astounding about the spill was how much worse it could have been. The tug could have been towing a barge that was topped up with fuel, and a crew could have towed the breached tug immediately, slopping diesel along our coast. We were lucky. We shouldn’t expect to stay lucky.

likes to say). But this takes the cake. Move over CP and Park Royal. There’s a new kid in town: Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. CMHC, as it’s known, insures mortgages. It is also, apparently, the landlord of a vast, 644-acre chunk of forest stretching up Mount Seymour from Mount Seymour Parkway near Northlands Golf Course, a tract teeming with hiking, dog walking, and mountain biking trails, including a portion of the legendary Baden Powell trail. One day earlier this month, CMHC decided to assert its authority and posted two dozen Private Property signs at the trailheads leading into the forest. In case there was any ambiguity, the signs made it clear: “Unauthorized access for recreational or any other

activity is strictly prohibited.” OK ... Forget that CMHC has allowed, either through neglect or by intent, complete trail access to anyone for decades and has given no reason, other than “safety,” for shutting down the forest tout suite, all at once. Forget that the posting of signs starts everyone wondering what’s up. Is this a prelude to some unthinkable development scheme, where CMHC decides to rip up the Baden Powell Trail for a condo development called, invariably, The Baden Powell? Forget that CMHC has imposed its will unilaterally, even though the actual ownership of the land is murky – is it really jointly owned with the province, as has been reported? If that’s the case, whatever that land is, it’s not “private property”

and CMHC can’t just do what it wants. Forget that CMHC’s move caught the District of North Vancouver by surprise, even though the two parties had been talking about the land before the No Trespassing signs came up. Forget that the CMHC decision was made in “Ottawa,” wherever that is. The last time “Ottawa” reached out and botched something big time in B.C. was the Kits Point Coast Guard station, which helped defeat the Harper government. Are you listening, Mr. Trudeau? The really breathtaking bonehead behaviour here is that the CMHC is completely oblivious to how the mountains define the North Shore way of life. “It’s who we are,” says North Vancouver District Coun.

Has Halloween gotten out of hand? Costumes, candy and overindulgence, oh my. Halloween spending is on the rise, and expected to reach an unprecedented $8.4 billion this spooky season, according to the U.S. National Retail Federation. The presidential election is partly to blame, as Americans get in the political spirit by dressing up as candidates. Canadians, however, spend more per capita on Halloween than our U.S. counterparts. Look no further than Lynn Valley and Edgemont Village, where some residents have decked out their homes with frightening extravagance. Weigh in at nsnews.com. — Maria Spitale-Leisk

Not all homes monster polluters Dear Editor: Re: West Van’s Monster Homes Add to Greenhouse Gasses, Oct. 7 front-page story. “Houses with large square footage have big carbon footprints.” (quote from story) There is a flaw in this logic. A 14,000-square-foot “monster house” is not adding as much pollution as a 3,000 sq. ft. house that has two “nanny” suites. It’s not the houses, it’s the people who live in the house who are contributing to the greenhouse gasses. More people dispose more garbage, consume more water, use more energy, flush more toilets, use more chemicals for laundry, produce more paper/plastic waste,

drive more cars that pollute the environment and damage roads that subsequently need more maintenance and repairs, use more buses, etc. A single senior who lives in a big “monster house” will add only a small fraction of the above. On the other hand, condos that sprouted out

throughout the North Shore are the main contributors to the carbon footprints. Side note, those notorious “empty monster houses” add nothing to the carbon footprints or pollution; they are empty. Gregoz Gawronski North Vancouver

Housing funds needed now Dear Editor: Re: $550M in Affordable Housing Welcomed, Sept. 23 front-page story. With the announcement of an increase of available housing and a windfall of funds, my hope is that it will become a reality, and benefit the residents in the community.

Among those who could benefit the most from this windfall would be young families, low income seniors, B.C. Housing applicants, the homeless, and mentally and physically disabled individuals. Karen Campbell North Vancouver

Lynn Valley Legion hall open Remembrance Day Alcohol-free reception planned at Branch 114, closed since Feb.

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

While the Lynn Valley Legion branch may be temporarily shuttered and a Remembrance Day ceremony cancelled, its members remain very active-serving veterans.

That was the message from the branch’s leadership in a presentation to

District of North Vancouver council Monday night. “Our focus is on the poppy campaign and service to our veterans, their families, seniors, youth and the community at large,” said Jim Phillipson, management committee chairman. The poppy campaign, which starts on the last Friday of October, serves as a visual reminder and

solemn recognition of those who have served, and donations collected are used to support veterans and their families. Branch 114 members will lay a wreath at the Victoria Park cenotaph on Nov. 11. and following the ceremony, the community is invited to the Lynn Valley branch for an alcohol- free reception. Phillipson said the Lynn Valley Legion is in a “time of transition” and that, before long, things will be back to normal. “It is a disappointment

to say the least that we have had to step away from holding a Remembrance Day service in Lynn Valley this year. “The primary reason is lack of volunteers stepping forward from our membership. We understand this hesitation as there is a divide within. There is a small number of members who are causing dissension in the ranks. With the aid of B.C./Yukon Command, we are taking steps to address those issues,” he said. “Contrary to what is out

But he added, it’s inevitable there would be an increase in traffic here as well. That’s something that could be mitigated with adding more transit options on the Sea to Sky corridor and improvements to the North Shore’s arterial roads, he said. “I appreciate that as well, be it the First Narrows or the Second Narrows,” he said. “We continue to work on solutions on the North Shore. We’re putting almost a quarter-billion dollars into the whole interchange on the north end of the Second Narrows Bridge from Mountain Highway on down to try and improve that traffic situation.” Whether they’re looking for a life without ferry lineups or want to see this plan dead in the water, Sturdy said he encourages residents to use the province’s online feedback forms at fluidsurveys.

Marshall McLuhan once said he only read pages on the right side of the book.

By forgoing half the text, the media guru’s inestimable noodle came alive with the challenge of filling in the blank

spots he’d created. McLuhan – who has no further business in this article – likely would have been fascinated with the artistic nether world described in The Lost Operas of Mozart. The tale imagines a place where every unfinished piece of art goes to moulder. The Canterbury Tales are down there, and so is The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Your father’s basement with wood panelling on two of the walls is probably there, along with Tupac Shakur albums, that Bruce Lee movie where he fights Kareem Abdul-Jabar, and Orson Welles movies. Lots of Orson Welles movies, lingering in the limbo that lets procrastinators finally rest. Mozart graced the art-filled abyss with three unfinished operas: Lo sposo deluso, L’oca del Cairo and Zaïde.

Those compositions feature prominently in a story about “abandonment and unrealized dreams,” explains playwright Maria Reva. “It’s a comedy but there are also some dark notes in it,” she says. The story begins with an impresario, played by Vancouver Symphony Orchestra conductor Bramwell Tovey, being visited by three spirits – each one a soprano. Before long, the office fills with Marx Brothers-like rapidity as a bass, tenor, and baritone bargain, beg and badger the impresario for a chance to sing.

International cast uniformly excellent From page 18 of clock towers. It’s up to Langdon to follow the clues and try to stay several steps ahead of the people who want him dead. Luckily there’s doctor Sienna Brooks (Felicity Jones), who possesses both a killer IQ and a trusty moped, keen to help Langdon solve the mystery of how he got there. The journey takes the duo, ever frantically, through the streets of Florence, Venice and Istanbul. Drone chases through the Boboli Gardens, underground sprints in the belly of St. Mark’s Basilica, cisterns under the Hagia Sofia. It’s a credit to cinematographer Salvatore Totino (Everest) that we wish the principals would slow down already – catastrophic virus be damned – so we could stop and take a look at those breathtaking historic locales they’re racing past. The international cast of characters includes Indian star Irrfan Khan (excellent)

as Provost of a secret global consortium; French actor Omar Sy is World Health Association bad-guy Christoph Bouchard; plus Danish actress Sidse Babett Knudsen (seen earlier this year alongside Hanks in A Hologram For The King) and American Ben Foster (Hell or High Water) as the misguided bioengineer Bertrand Zobrist, who believes a new Renaissance is just around the corner, if only we could just cull the herd a little. Dan Brown knows that no one can resist a good puzzle, to say nothing of secret handshakes and hidden doors; no one said that subtle prose was his forte. So in the hands of screenwriter David Koepp there is much over-narration, which Hanks must muddle through while wincing and grimacing due of his character’s head injury. Howard tries to compensate for this with those pretty travel snippets, and blood-soaked, Botticelliinspired visions, visuals that keep the film from feeling like the 10th circle of hell.

WHEN: November 7, 2016, 6 p.m. regular Council Meeting WHERE: West Vancouver Municipal Hall, Council Chamber 750 17th Street, West Vancouver BC In Straight Jacket Winter, Julie Trépanier and Frédéric Lemay play the production’s creators, Esther Duquette and Gilles Poulin-Denis, who relocated from Montreal to Vancouver in the winter of 2011. PHOTO SUPPLIED

REVIEW: STRAIGHT JACKET WINTER

Francophones explore life on the West Coast ! Straight Jacket Winter, Studio 16 until Oct. 29. For tickets, call 604-736-2616 or go to seizieme.ca. JO LEDINGHAM Contributing writer

I’ve always liked the French phrase “miseen-scène” indicating the one who takes the script and “puts” or “places” it on stage; in English, we call that the director. But never before have I so clearly felt the “putting” of a script on stage as I did while watching Straight Jacket Winter.

The story is actually Gilles Poulin-Denis and Esther Duquette’s (artistic director of Théâtre la Seizième) who left their home on Rue Dorion, Montreal, in 2011 after joyfully and noisily celebrating New Year’s Eve with friends and family. Funny hats and much “Bonne Année”-ing. Esther arrived in grey, wet, dreary Vancouver in January and found a small apartment on Bute Street. Gilles came later, in May. Gilles is bilingual; Esther was not. When contacting Shaw to hook up Internet service, Esther discovered her telephone options were, apparently, English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Punjabi and Tagalog. She chose English; “Boot” Street, she kept repeating to a bewildered Shaw employee on the other end of the phone. “Ah, Bute Street.” It’s a familiar story of isolation, but the presentation is anything but familiar: Poulin-Denis and Duquette place Frédéric Lemay (as

Gilles) and Julie Trépanier (as Esther) on stage as their surrogates. But Duquette and Poulin-Denis remain just offstage, in full view and behind a lot of electronic gadgetry to deliver visual and aural effects: playing a vinyl record on a record player, projecting various items on a screen (like postcards, photographs, even a video of friends in Paris); now and again, they step up onto the stage and help shuffle furniture when Esther and Gilles move from Bute Street to another apartment. Sometimes they hand Lemay or Trépanier an item need in a scene, like a book or a box. And throughout, Duquette and Poulin-Denis step up to a microphone to deliver longer pieces of exposition en francais, of course. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays there are English surtitles. The staging, with exquisite lighting by Itai Erdal, is clever, playful and utterly charming. As the winter wears on and the rain continues to fall, Esther and Gilles suffer severe cabin fever. Without friends and little money, they live within their four walls. They play Dictionary or speak to each other using only vowels. They read. They cuddle. And eventually they drive each other crazy. What begins as a happy, romantic dance between an unhappy, adrift couple turns into a frantic grotesquerie as Lemay, in pointy hat and pyjama bottoms, prances, then gallops around the room, stopping now and again to do frenzied pushups. It is one of the most hilarious (at first) and saddest (finally)

performances I’ve seen. Winter in Vancouver has put both of them in straight jackets: confined and miserable. These are two — make that four — engaging performers. We are always aware of two couples: onstage Esther (strawberry blond and lovely Trépanier) and onstage Gilles (slim, ponytailed Lemay) and offstage Esther Duquette and offstage Gilles Poulin-Denis. The interaction between the four of them is sweet and intimate. The onstage characters are not merely stand-ins for the offstage couple; they are collaborators, interpreters, extensions of their creators. The French have another phrase, mise-en-abîme, that indicates a smaller image inside a larger image. What we see onstage is a smaller image of Duquette and Poulin-Denis’ experience of moving from East to West. It could be, however, the story of immigrants anywhere: isolated by language, culture and shared experience. In the play, Gilles complains to Esther that theatre in Vancouver is boring and that Vancouver audiences leap to their feet for “crappy shows” that risk “no exploration of form.” Straight Jacket Winter, produced by Théâtre La Seizième, explores form in a huge way and, while doing so, charms the heck out of us. The tableau that brings the curtain down keeps the audience clustered around the stage in almost childlike wonder. It feels a little like Christmas. – Jo Ledingham writes for our sister paper the Vancouver Courier.

Tokyo gets closer to nature in the House of Owls Japanese cafés offer urban patrons a wild experience

PETER NEVILLE-HADLEY Meridian Writers’ Group

TOKYO – The mountainous islands of Japan offer precious little flat land and as a result the nearly 130 million Japanese must make the best of small living spaces. Rental units tend to forbid pets and, in any event, in the cities only established families in purchased apartments are likely to have room for one.

A patron at Fukurou no Ouchi café in Tokyo passes by a Bengal eagle owl. Bred in captivity, the birds are used to staying awake in the daylight.

PHOTOS SUPPLIED PETER NEVILLE-HADLEY/MERIDIAN WRITERS’ GROUP

But the therapeutic qualities of a cuddle with a cat are appreciated in a society noted for its high levels of stress, and so there are now dozens of cat cafés in Tokyo alone, where workers pause to wind down with a feline and cappuccino on their way home. The latest trend is for owl cafés, where coffee can be consumed beneath a slightly unsettling scrutiny. There’s a chance to find out how soft and strokeable these creatures are, too, but encountering owls is more about an urbanite

getting close to a wild thing, admiring the complexity of the patterning on the feathers, sensing the bird’s personality. Some owl cafés are so popular that time slots must be booked in advance, but smart and orderly Fukurou no Ouchi (“House of Owls”), in Tokyo’s Sugamo district, which opened in late 2015, has no line-up one Saturday afternoon. After ringing the bell, admission is through a two-stage owl-lock of sliding glass doors. Behind further glass a number of heads turn through impossible angles to regard the newcomers. The entrance fee is ¥1,500 (about US$12) for one hour, which includes 10 minutes in the glass enclosure with over 20 owls. Inside the enclosure there’s the opportunity to don a falconer’s glove and have an owl perch on it. They come in all shapes and sizes, including a sleepy barn owl, a snowy owl inevitably named Hedwig, and others with faces of such ferocious intelligence it would seem lèse-majesté to stroke their curiously springy feathers,

Fukurou no Ouchi (“House of Owls”) café is one of a growing number of cafés in Tokyo where patrons can pet an owl. let alone to see them otherwise disturbed. I choose a Bengal eagle owl of glorious striped tawny plumage, terrifying talons and substantial weight. It regards me with mild interest, and cooperates in posing for photographs. The owls are bred in captivity and used to being awake in the daytime. Visitors are requested to remember that they cannot be house-trained. They are only to be touched on the tops of their heads and must be left undisturbed if marked (in English) as “resting.”

Frequent hand-washing is compulsory, in a bathroom incongruously decorated with cats. Beyond the glass enclosure, owls are also to hand in the main café, including a great grey owl with a dinner plate face that sits so still and apparently indifferent to human interest it seems to be stuffed until it executes a slow-motion blink. But a smaller grey-and-white striped specimen appears to welcome the attention, bobbing and weaving in a circular motion to improve its stereoscopic vision. The actual café portion of the owl-café concept can underwhelm at some places, but Fukurou no Ouchi serves both very drinkable tea and coffee (¥200) and optional owl-shaped cakes that turn out to taste as good as they look. If you go: Fukurou no Ouchi is at 3-18-13 Maison de Camelia 1F, 296home.jp (Japanese only). Nearest station is Sugamo on the JR Yamanote Line.

Are your hormones to blame?

I have difficulty losing weight, particularly since menopause. I have noticed my hair thinning, I feel hot all the time, have poor sleep, and I am much less able to cope in stressful situations. Are my hormones to blame?

Dr. Cathryn Coe ND “Dr. Cathryn Coe, ND has over 10 years of experience balancing hormone levels and helping women feel their best.”

Yes, hormones can play a huge role in the symptoms listed above. Female hormones begin to shift in our 30’s, as progesterone levels decline. If we are under stress, our body uses progesterone to make cortisol (our stress hormone), leaving less hormone available as progesterone. Low progesterone may cause anxiety, depression, difficulty sleeping, weight gain and blood sugar imbalances. Estrogen levels typically start to fall in our 40’s, bringing vaginal dryness,

hot ﬂashes, low sex drive, thinning hair and changes in vision. Many patients explain that their eating and exercise routines remain the same, but they have gained an extra 10-15 pounds, particularly in belly fat. This is because our female hormones, when in the right balance, optimize metabolism and thyroid function. Standard blood tests simply measure the hormone level on its own, rather than looking at how hormones relate to one another. We offer comprehensive saliva or urinary hormone testing to

measures sex and adrenal hormone levels. Once hormone levels have been determined, a detailed, comprehensive treatment plan is given using herbs and/or bioidentical hormones. Dr. Cathryn Coe, ND has over 10 years of experience balancing hormone levels and helping women feel their best. Many extended healthcare plans cover Naturopathic consultations and testing.

Cayetano Soto unveils new work with Ballet BC Choreographer launches season with full program at QE ! Ballet BC Program 1, Queen Elizabeth Theatre (650 Hamilton). Nov. 3-5 at 8 p.m. Tickets from $30. For more information visit BalletBC. com. KELSEY KLASSEN Contributing writer

Vancouver audiences last encountered Spanish choreographer Cayetano Soto in 2015 aboard the undulating, sculptural voyage that is Twenty Eight Thousand Waves. With that piece, through moody lighting and endlessly shifting pas de deux, Soto evoked a ship being rocked by an ocean that both helped and hindered its passage.

Now Ballet BC’s resident choreographer launches the 2016/17 season with Program 1, four works that take you on an entirely different journey – an exploration through passage of time and the evolution of his artistic vision, starting with the world premiere of a piece he calls Beginning After. “The work is very simple in its structure,” the former dancer explains by phone, fresh off the plane from Barcelona. “My sense is the people can see that, here at Ballet BC, we have dancers that are soloists. So I wanted to use the company as a soloist. Every dancer. I didn’t want to make any group sections.” According to Soto, Beginning After questions the truth of memory. For example, in one vignette, dancer Andrew Bartee can be seen performing a beautiful, minimalist sequence of movements until the lighting fades. When the lights come up again, however, Bartee is still dancing the

All four works in Program 1 are very personal, Soto says, but Fugaz is especially so, as it was the last piece he created while still a dancer

a very personal work because it was the last work I created while I was still a dancer for the company. I was 29 years old. It was a commission from the company and I had decided already that I would start freelancing and I would stop dancing.” The piece is about people who are diagnosed with cancer: those who survive

and those who do not. Unfortunately, his father passed away before he could see the piece. “There were many things that were important and shifting for me at that moment: stopping (dancing), losing somebody, and the piece reflects all this.” Further along, we’ll also see the Canadian premiere of Sortijas, a dark, lush, music-forward duet tackling relationships and fate that Soto created for Ballet Hispanico in 2013, followed by the evening’s final new work, Schachmatt (Checkmate), based on his acclaimed 2015 piece Conrazoncorazon – a madcap

ensemble piece that reportedly had audiences laughing out loud this past summer at the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival. “I just decided to make [Conrazoncorazon] bigger here. It will have more sections,” Soto says. “And for me it is like a game, because sometimes the head and the heart are not together. In the end, which one is the more dominant element in my body: the heart? Or the brain?” he laughs. “In the end it’s my heart, but sometimes that drives us crazy.” – Kelsey Klassen writes for our sister paper the Westender.

featured on Bowie’s 25th and final studio album, Blackstar, released earlier in the month on Bowie’s 69th birthday, a mere two days prior to his death as a result of liver cancer. It didn’t feel appropriate to play anything from the new record, however keyboard player Jason Lindner had an idea: “Warszawa,” a 1977 song, co-written with Brian Eno, from Bowie’s album Low. “We tried it at sound check and it just fit right away and we played it in every set of every night that week. As we were doing that I knew that I wanted to record it because it was a really intense time, really emotional, and that tune was kind of a way to focus a lot of that feeling into a song and into a performance night after night, which was cathartic,” says McCaslin. “Warszawa” was eventually recorded by McCaslin and his band, along with a second cover by the artist, 1995’s “A Small Plot of Land,” and released Oct. 14 on new album, Beyond Now, dedicated to and inspired by their recent collaborator. “His influence was really profound and part of that was around the kind of person he was and the kind of artist he was. He was such a fearless artist and he was fearless in realizing his musical vision and that’s really inspiring to be around somebody like that. … The example that he set as an artist was really something

that will stay with me and then also the way he went about it. He was really generous with us and made us feel really comfortable in the studio and was very affirmative of what we were doing and encouraged us to take chances with the music,” says Brooklynbased McCaslin, reached Monday from Hillsboro, Mo.’s Jefferson College, a Midwest tour stop. McCaslin’s musical journey began at a young age, the result of being exposed to a variety of musical styles growing up in his native Santa Cruz, Calif. His parents divorced when he was young and he’d see his jazz musician father weekly. “Part of our ritual was I would go with him to his gig on a Sunday afternoon. He played from about 12 in the afternoon until 5 or 6 p.m. His band, called Warmth, they played a variety of Great American Songbook material, straight-ahead jazz, and then they also played Latin jazz, and also R&B, funk tunes, like “Mercy, Mercy,” “Mustang Sally,” “Feel Like Makin’ Love,” tunes like that,” he says. McCaslin started playing saxophone at age 12 and became increasingly immersed in the music of his hometown. He basked in the opportunity to take in international bands on Monday nights at the local jazz centre, took in shows

by reggae bands as well as Bay Area favourites Tower of Power that frequented the area, experimented with the local salsa music scene, and had an opportunity to play Duke Ellington’s big band music thanks to the director of his high school band. “I grew up in this environment where all these different styles of music co-existed in a way and were all part of my musical DNA. Growing up, all that stuff seemed to fit together naturally to me and I just bounced around between those things. I think that’s played out through my career. I’ve always just been attracted to whatever music is appealing to me,” he says. McCaslin continued to play, study, record and perform all different types of music with a variety of musicians, eventually culminating in his recording an electricfocused record, 2011’s Perpetual Motion, setting him on his current path away. That path led to him being recommended to Bowie by collaborator and composer Maria Schneider. Bowie took her advice and checked out McCaslin and his band at a June 2014 performance at 55 Bar in New York City, subsequently asking them to join him for his new project. “It’s like something that you dream about that you would never even think to dream of,” says McCaslin. He and the band recorded with Bowie at the since closed New York City Magic Shop studio for three stints

between January and March 2015. “It was wonderful to see him working out lyrics while we were recording, making notes. When he would step into the studio to overdub some vocals it was always really quick. He was really focused. It was something to see just how focused he was when he worked,” says McCaslin. The title track of McCaslin’s Beyond Now, recorded three months after Bowie’s passing, was meant as a tribute to the man whose influence remains. The song was inspired by a track recorded for Blackstar that didn’t make the final cut. The record also features covers of Deadmau5’s “Coelacanth 1,” MUTEMATH’s “Remain” and “New York City” by the Chainsmokers, as well as other originals. McCaslin and his band are scheduled to perform repertoire drawn from the last 10 years of his recording career in North Vancouver tonight, his first performance in the Lower Mainland in a decade, at the BlueShore Financial Centre for the Performing Arts. They’ll be joined by members of the school’s “A” Band and NiteCap, directed by Brad Turner and Réjean Marois, respectively. Next, they plan to embark on a European tour to continue celebrating the release of Beyond Now and plan to return to the West Coast this summer for shows in Vancouver and Victoria.

Production combines three Mozart works From page 13 abandonment have fomented, Reva explains. Each singer feels forsaken by their creator, not unlike Frankenstein, or the characters in an Ingmar Bergman movie. The idea sprang from the mind of the play’s director, Alan Corbishley, leaving Reva to fashion a “connective tissue” that would unite the unfinished operas. Combining three operas – two Italian and one German, one involving a mechanical goose and another featuring a spurned sultan – into a cohesive story was challenging, Reva reports. While the mechanical goose “unfortunately” isn’t part of the show, that goose was part of Reva’s reasons for taking the job. “It just seemed so whimsical and wonderful,” she says.

– Lo sposo deluso (two-act Italian opera buffa, K. 430, composed by Mozart between 1783 and 1784). – L’oca del Cairo (incomplete Italian opera buffa in three acts, begun by Mozart in July 1783 but abandoned in October). – Zaide (unfinished Germanlanguage opera, K. 344, written by Mozart in 1780.)

allowed Reva to examine Mozart in a new light and explore why he abandoned what by some accounts was very promising work. In the case of Zaïde, which might have been a dark tale of jealousy, Reva suspects Mozart felt comedy-loving Viennese audiences would prefer something lighter on blight and heavier on buffa. For Lo sposo deluso, his decision to stop writing

likely stemmed from difficulty securing financing, as the opera was never actually commissioned, according to Reva. Born in Ukraine, Reva says she wrote the book for The Lost Operas of Mozart in three weeks and one year. The first three weeks were an intense flurry at her laptop. The following year was devoted to workshops and revisions. The Vancouver writer, who’s currently working on a collection of short stories while earning a master of fine arts in fiction and playwriting in Austin, TX., says the production was important in taking her from the comfort of her writing room. When she writes prose the audience feels like it exists on the other side of a wall, she explains. In workshopping a story for the stage, the wall crumbles and the audience is “right there.”

Dr. Douglas Charles Thomas Coupland passed away peacefully in Lions Gate Hospital on the morning of Monday, October 10, 2016 at the age of 90. He leaves behind his beloved wife of 59 years, Janet Coupland (Campbell) and his sons Tim (Tamiko), Peter, Douglas, Bruce (Jackie) and his grandchildren Cole, Siri, Julia, Lauren and Ben. What is life? Life is what Dr. Coupland lived in abundance. He was a husband, a father, a friend, a doctor, a fighter pilot, a rancher, a downhill ski champion, a skeet−shooting champion, a dentist, an oral surgeon, a photographer, a scuba diver and a card player. He raised the bar pretty darned high for everyone around him.

SALVIDGE, Robert (Bob) April 10, 1930 − October 16, 2016

Bob was predeceased by his father Arthur Salvidge in 1975, his mother Rena Salvidge (nee Empey) in 1994 and his beloved youngest daughter Christy Salvidge in 2000. Bob is survived by his wife of 62 years, Bertha, his dear daughter Tracey Rand (Bill), his grandchildren Kathleen, Allison and Robert Rand, his brother Bern Salvidge (Patricia) and his nieces Deborah, Claire and Nicole Salvidge. Bob started his early career working for the iconic Wallace Neon Company and worked on some of Vancouver’s most famous neon signs. He went on to work for CPR and then finally found his calling and life long relationship with the automobile. As oil company dealers, Bob and his brother Bern operated a British American gas station on Granville Island in the 60’s (the building is still there today). The brothers later operated Gulf Oil stations at 2nd & Burrard and at 15th & Oak. But the Salvidge name would best be remembered today as "Salvidge Automotive Ltd." located at 1636 West 4th Avenue. Salvidge Automotive operated for over thirty years and maintained a large and loyal base of customers, being voted the best auto repair shop in Vancouver on several occasions. Bob was also a charter member of The BC Custom Car Association (BCCCA) because hot rods, custom cars, street and drag racing were just as popular in the late 40’s and early 50’s as they are today. In fact, then as now, street racing was a big concern to the Vancouver Police Department. This led to Bernie Smith and other members of the VPD getting together with a group of local hot rodders to try to solve the problem. They did this by forming the BCCCA which is the oldest rod and custom car club in Canada. Bob will be sadly missed by his family, his associates, friends and many loyal customers. Please think of Bob every time you see a classic car on the road because chances are that at one time Bob either owned one or repaired one just like it. A Celebration of Bob’s Life will be held on Friday, November 4, 2016 at 4:00 PM. Please contact salvidge2016@gmail.com for details. In lieu of flowers, a charitable donation to the Melanoma Network of Canada, the BC Epilepsy Society or the Alzheimer Society of British Columbia in Bob’s name would be greatly appreciated.

Dr. Coupland − Dad − was born in Ottawa on February 22, 1926. He received his RCAF Wings in 1947, and from 1959 to 1963 he was stationed at #4 Fighter Wing, RCAF, Baden−Söllingen, Germany where two of his sons were born. There he served as both fighter pilot and flight surgeon for NATO squadrons #444−F, #422−F, and #419−F. Dr. Coupland flew 23 types of aircraft including Harvards, Vampires, Avengers, Sabre V1s and T−33 Jet Aircraft, but flying De Havilland Beavers was his true passion. He paid his way through university by flying in summers for the Air Force as well as working as a commercial bush pilot. He flew extensively in Ontario, Quebec, Labrador and Newfoundland and he loved every minute of his thousands of logged hours. He often flew over areas of land where the maps actually read, ’Unknown’. He was a true explorer in a way that maybe no longer exists. Dr. Coupland studied and graduated from McGill University, the University of Toronto and Queens University. He entered medical practice in North Vancouver as a family physician in 1965 in North Vancouver, and was on staff at Lions Gate Hospital for 43 years. Since 1965 Dr. Coupland lived for the vast, wide− open spaces of Canada’s outdoors and explored them in a Cessna 185 and a De Havilland Beaver as a private citizen. He believed that Canada was a leader in wildlife conservation and stewardship. There are so many wonderful things we can say about the man, but perhaps the most important is that as a man and as a professional, Dr. Coupland saw life as sacrosanct, and through his nine decades he always worked to heal the sick, fix the wounded and ensure that whatever it is, this thing called life, was treated with respect and the deepest of care. We miss him dearly. Our thanks go to the doctors and nurses who provided tremendous care for our father in his final days at Lions Gate Hospital. A ceremony celebrating his life will be held on November 6 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Capilano Golf Club in West Vancouver. Flowers gratefully declined.

The Volkswagen Beetle Dune, available only in Canada, is the top-of-the-line Bug, a peppy throwback with jacked-up suspension for some off-road rambling. The Beetle Dune is inspired by the Baja Bugs of the 1960s and ‘70s, leaving behind the cute looks of the modern Beetle. It is available at Capilano Volkswagen in North Vancouver. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD

VW Dune a muscled-up Beetle A modern day dune buggy has arrived in the form of the Volkswagen Beetle Dune.

Behind The Wheel David Chao

The 2016 Beetle Dune made its debut at this year’s Canadian International AutoShow in Toronto. A variant of VW’s Beetle lineup, the Dune is inspired by the classic Baja Bugs of the 1960s and ‘70s. Clearly an outlier in today’s marketplace, the

Beetle Dune has very few direct competitors, its main rivals being the other retro-inspired cars like the Mini Paceman and Fiat 500X. The Nissan Juke is another quirky alternative that may steal some sales from the Dune. Exclusive to the Canadian market, the 2016 Beetle Dune takes its place at the top of the Beetle lineup.

DESIGN While Volkswagen gave the Beetle a refresh a few years ago to give it a more historic style, the new Dune model is bolder. Leaving behind its cute, approachable look, the Beetle Dune has an additional 10 millimetres in ride height and a body track that is 14 mm wider to give it a more rugged stance. Complementing its new

setup, the Dune also boasts new front and rear fascia, and pronounced black wheel arch extensions that flow into the bumpers. Bi-xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights and LED rear lights are also standard. Highlighting the new front bumper is a large central air intake that is wider at the bottom. The black honeycomb screen matches the aggressive skid plate and fog lights.

Down the sides, polished aluminum sills and black trim strips are reminiscent of the original Beetle running boards. “Dune” graphics on the doors are exclusive, as are the 18-inch “Canyon” aluminum-alloy wheels. At the rear, a large spoiler grabs the eye. This is off-set by a rear bumper design that integrates matte black and

Drive like you live in a rainforest

Perhaps no other driver was as talented in the rain as Ayrton Senna.

The Brazilian was almost supernatural in his car control, able to use the limited traction to turn the car just on the edge of adhesion, always pointed in the right direction and operating at the limit. I put it to you that none of us are Ayrton Senna. However, any time there’s three dry days and then a spot of rain, everybody seems to disagree with me. Rain? Why, that’s just nature’s car wash! There’s no need to change the speed at which I drive, the distance which I follow at, or the velocity with which I attack a corner. It’s nice and dry here in my minivan/compact/sportscar,

Grinding Gears Brendan McAleer so I’ll just tackle this offramp at eleventy-three billion kilometres per hour. What’s the worst that can happen? It’s perpetually odd to me, living in a rainforest as we do, that so few people seem to have adopted the art of

driving in the rain. Well, I say art: art requires skill and a deft touch and creativity. Driving in the rain requires using not more than about 12 neurons. In the summertime, absentmindedness is perhaps a bit more understandable. If it hasn’t rained in two solid weeks, you can forget that the first wet day back on the road is going to be like driving on marbles. It could happen to anyone. But why is it, as we enter the winter of our damp discontent, no one seems to remember the four Rs of driving in North Shore weather? They are as follows: 1. Reduce your speed 2. Reach over and turn on your headlights 3. Really leave a bit more

following distance 4. ARRRgh there’s been another collision on the Upper Levels … time to pull over and read the entirety of the Harry Potter series while it’s being cleared away Never before in history have our vehicles done such a good job of isolating us from the sensation of speed. The average mid-sized crossover is a bank vault of a thing, representing quiet power that would shame a Rolls Royce from 50 years ago. Sitting up there nice and high out of the contrails of spray, with modern tires doing a good job of carving through the puddles without hydroplaning, a false sense of security arises. It shouldn’t. As any racing driver will tell you, all the

skill and power in the world can’t fight the fact that wet tarmac has far less grip than dry. Add in the tendency for water to pool in the ruts left by the heavy trucks that carry the raw materials for our construction boom, and you have an unstable, unpredictable surface. Further, and more dangerously, rain is a visibility killer. Not only do the increasing number of high-riding crossovers suck up more spray than passenger sedans, but when night rolls around, the water in the air cuts headlight effectiveness significantly. Keeping your full headlights on when it’s raining out, instead of just relying on daytime running lights, protects both yourself and your

fellow motorists. The solution, failing installing giant megaphones to yell at people (I still think this is a great idea, but the Ministry of Transportation tells me there might be noise pollution concerns), is to look a little farther up the Sea-to-Sky to where the variable speed corridor is running. Alternatively, you could look south to Seattle, where a similar idea is in place. Lowering the speed limit when the conditions are poor could be just the reminder people need to back off the throttle and leave a little more space. After all, none of us are Ayrton, even if we’ve grown gills from living here. mcaleeronwheels@gmail.com

Off-road suspension ready for adventures From page 54 aluminum elements, and a rear diffuser that acts as a skidplate. The Beetle Dune is only available in three exterior colours: Sandstorm Yellow, Pure White, or Deep Black Pearl. Inside, the yellow cars feature body colour upper door trim and dashpads, whereas the other two have black trim. PERFORMANCE As for engine choices, there aren’t any – every Beetle Dune is powered by a 1.8-litre turbocharged four-cylinder. This direct-injected gasoline engine produces 170 horsepower and 184 foot-pounds of torque. This gives the Beetle peppy acceleration and good fuel economy. Also, all Beetle Dune models have

front-wheel drive as expected and utilize a six-speed automatic transmission. Sadly, the five-speed manual is not available. The base Beetle is most comfortable on the highway with its soft yet composed ride. Dune models are more open to adventurers thanks to its off-road suspension, wider track and lifted chassis. The handling is surprisingly predictable and the car tracks well through straight roads and turns. ENVIRONMENT Inside, the 2016 Beetle Dune boasts just about every feature available in VW’s catalogue as standard. Immediately apparent is the unique upholstery; the Dune features sport
