WWII bomber relives wartime memories

No time for anxiety before a mission, says NV veteran MARIA SPITALE-LEISK mspitale-leisk@nsnews.com

Second World War veteran Gord Larsen signed up for the Air Force on a whim and it may have saved his life.

“A friend and I, we just thought – we were 19 so we went and joined the Air Force. His name was Sid. He lived just over the way here,” says Larsen from the living room of his home he built near Grand Boulevard in 1949 after returning from the war. “Strangely enough, about a month and half after we joined, I got a letter from the government conscripting me into the army. So, I was able to write my Air Force number down and say, ‘You’re too late.’ ” Larsen, who lost friends in the war, knows it may have been a different story for him had he not given in to youthful spontaneity. “Thank goodness,” he says. Standing in a special nook in his split-level home, Larsen looks up at the model airplanes on the wall, replicas of the ones he flew while serving as a Bomber Command pilot with the Royal Canadian Air Force in England. “That’s the Halifax. That’s the Lancaster. That’s the Wellington, the first line bomber at the beginning of the war, then it went into training,” says Larsen. He proudly explains the significance of the badges of honour on his jacket.

North Vancouver war veteran Gord Larsen looks over a model of a Halifax bomber he flew during the Second World War. There’s a defence medal and a victory medal hanging below his lapel. “The bottom bar meant you went overseas,” he says. The memories come flooding back for Larsen and the unimaginable stories start spilling out, as he transports the listener to England in 1942.

Pedestrian injured in Lynn Valley collision BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

A North Vancouver woman is in hospital with head injuries after colliding with a vehicle midway through a Lynn Valley intersection Tuesday night. Witnesses told police

that around 7:30 p.m., the 21-year-old entered a marked crosswalk on Lynn Valley Road at 29th Street while the Don’t Walk sign was flashing, attempting to quickly cross through the intersection before the light changed. She safely made it past one driver in a black SUV but then collided with a second

slow-moving vehicle turning right onto 29th, according to Cpl. Geoff Harder, North Vancouver RCMP spokesman. “She actually ran into the vehicle,” Harder said. “She hit the side of it. It knocked her back. It was her head hitting the ground when she fell that caused the injuries.” An off-duty paramedic and

Teens get crash course in U.S. democracy Handsworth students view election stateside

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

A group of Handsworth secondary students got a crash course in American democracy Tuesday night – and a refresher on what it means to be Canadian.

A class of Grade 12 civics students bussed down to Whatcom County, Washington, to observe the U.S. election. It’s a tradition the school has had spanning the elections of George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton (twice), George W. Bush (twice) and Barack Obama (twice). The teens met with the county auditor who tabulates the votes and spoke with officials from both parties at their local campaign headquarters before settling in to watch the results role in with local Democrats. “That was a very somber, sad place,” principal Dave Overgaard said with a laugh. The teens, despite most of them budding political wonks already, were there to learn, rather to cheerlead, teacher Fernando Torres said. “We recognized the volatile nature of this particular campaign. For us, it was very

The school’s tradition of taking students on cross-border election day field trips dates back to the 1980s. PHOTO SUPPLIED important to be ambassadors. We were there to observe. We weren’t there to impart our opinions on the American electoral system or their campaign,” he said. Still, the students couldn’t help but have their own opinions and expectations. Perhaps a life lesson as much as an academic one, they learned about the bitterness of political defeat.

“I had always thought (Hillary Clinton) had it in the bag. I’m so appalled, I find it hard to believe,” said Aliya Hemani, adding she was still “going through the stages of grief.” “For me especially, it’s very, very sad to see such a sexist, racist man – that people would rather him be the leader of their country than a woman who is, in my

opinion, far more qualified, more experienced. I think it’s a very sad day to be a woman.” For some, it was something of a surreal experience putting human faces on folks whose political opinions fall so, so far from their own, “It was like seeing the tooth fairy,” said Eva Wardell, upon seeing a man dressed in his Make America Great

Again shirt. “I’d never seen a real person behind him or thought of people actually believing in him.” Wardell too, however, attributed Donald Trump’s win to harnessing the previously latent sexism and racism in America. “I don’t think anybody thought this was going to be a reality and now it is. I think that’s kind of scary to

be honest,” she said. “There are problems within the nation that aren’t caused by immigrants or minorities or women.” And even though the students’ responses to Trump and his campaign ranged from bafflement to disgust, meeting with his supporters was instructive, said Oliver Ng. “From their point of view, I think we can see why. They were sick of the establishment, right?” he said. They also came back with a greater appreciation of our Westminster style democracy and the flavour of our political campaigns, Ng added. “We have more choice in Canada than there is in the United States. We focus more on actual issues in Canada instead of just attacking other candidates’ histories. We get down to things that can really affect Canadians,” he said. On the bus ride home, Overgaard helped put America’s shift to the political right into context, a trend that’s been cropping up in Europe in recent years as well with Brexit and nationalist parties rising in European Union countries. As they cleared customs and crossed the border back home, the students and teachers broke into a spontaneous rendition of “O Canada.” “Honestly, I’ve never been so happy to be a Canadian,” Wardell said.

‘Only shaking you did was hoping motor would start’: pilot From page 1 “When you were flying in England, you can almost say England was an airfield,” he recalls. “There were just thousands of planes all the time flying all around and it was just … it was chaos.” There were too many close calls and near-misses to count. “One of the fellows I was flying with, he was out one evening flying and another plane just came along and flew right into him. You know, that was the way it was.” Any fear Larsen was feeling he buried deep inside. There was no time to let anxiety get in the way of the mission. “You went out and got in

the plane and took off and it was just a thing. You didn’t say, ‘Oh gosh here I go,’ all shaky – it was never any of that. The only shaking you did was hoping the motor would start, said Larsen with a chuckle. And at times there was some levity to lighten the mood. At 10,000 feet, Larsen had to go to the bathroom, he recalled during a Nov. 11 interview with CTV slice-oflife reporter Mike McCardell last year. “We didn’t have a tin or anything on the plane,” he explained. So Larsen got one of the air crew members who couldn’t fly to take the controls. With the pilot by proxy

gripping the wheel, Larsen went down into the belly of the bomber and opened the hatch. “And I had to make sure I opened it right because I didn’t have a parachute with me,” he told McCardell. Everything worked out fine in the end. When Larsen got back up to the controls, the plane was still flying straight and the knuckles on the air bomber were white. Then there’s the tale of a fellow fighter who didn’t make it home. “He was a ground crew in the Air Force. Nice guy. Ernie McDowell was his name,” said Larsen. If the name sounds familiar, it’s because Ernie’s dad, who was North Vancouver’s druggist at the turn of the

20th century, owned the building at the corner of Second and Lonsdale. Today it’s a new condo project called Wallace & McDowell to pay homage to that period of North Vancouver’s history. During the war, the younger McDowell was tasked with cleaning out the rear turret on the bombers. It was the most vulnerable part of the aircraft. If one of the crew got shot that’s where he would be. The job of cleaning up meant seeing the remains of his fellow airmen. “And he (McDowell) just finally broke down,” recalls Larsen. “He had to come home in the hospital ship ... they say he had a nervous breakdown. Well, that’s what

you called it in those days, nowadays it’s PTSD.” Larsen made his way home at the end of the war and came back to North Vancouver to marry his high school sweetheart. He pulls out his 1941 yearbook from North Vancouver High School and shows a picture of “Peggy.” “Her name is not Peggy, never was,” said Larsen, softly. “It’s just a name she got from her dad. And it stayed with her. It was Evelyn, her name.” Peggy and Gord raised their kids in what was a rustic area of North Vancouver back then. A little cottage on the street was inhabited by a good friend of acclaimed artist Emily Carr, who would

often come by for a visit. Another one of the Larsen’s neighbours was the actor E.V. Young, who cofounded Theatre Under the Stars in Stanley Park. After the war, Larsen enjoyed a long career as a Canada Customs officer at the airport and in downtown Vancouver where he would board ships for inspection. He and Peggy were married for 65 years. Two weeks after their anniversary she died from a stroke. One of the few remaining Second World War vets, Larsen, 93, is still sharp as a tack. Larsen attributes his longevity to a well-deserved daily double scotch and slice of chocolate cake.

Property purchase opens door to park extension Council votes 4-2 to buy $6.8M building at foot of Chesterfield

JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

How much is it worth to get to the waterfront?

For the majority of City of North Vancouver council, the answer is $6.8 million. Council voted 4-2 to buy 15 Chesterfield Place in order to ease the transition from the SeaBus to the west side of the city while allowing the city to, “creatively and strategically” plan for Waterfront Park, according to Coun. Linda Buchanan. “It’s not very often that key pieces of waterfront property come up for sale,” she noted. Spending $6.8 million for the site, which is currently occupied by a commercial office building, is a “crazy idea from start to finish,” countered Coun. Rod Clark. With the SeaBus maintenance yard to the south, calling the land waterfront property “is a stretch,” according to Clark. “You’re going to be looking through a parking lot and maintenance facility,” he promised. Mayor Darrell Mussatto

disagreed. The land will provide a physical and visual connection, Mussatto said, noting that city staff has had the land circled as a “key connection” since the early 1990s. With only a couple of parked cars used by SeaBus staff on the site, the swath will “feel like a connection” to the water, according to Mussatto. Acquiring the property is also intended to “eliminate the city’s reliance on the strata of 33 Chesterfield Place to allow restricted passage over their property,” according to a city staff report. Coun. Don Bell agreed with Mussatto, noting that while they’re not making any more land, they’re certainly not making any more waterfront land. “While the price may seem high at the time, in the long-term it turns out to be a good acquisition,” he said. Coun. Pam Bookham differed. “The price is just too much for the small benefits that would come to the city,” she said. Both Bookham and Clark made a case for spending the money to buy parkland elsewhere in the city. Failing to buy the property would be a missed opportunity, according to Coun. Holly Back. “It will only go up, it’s

waterfront,” she said. While the city is not in the business of property speculation, Mussatto said the city might pocket a few dollars if 15 Chesterfield Place doesn’t end up factoring into the city’s waterfront plans. “I understand there were a number of bidders on this property. I would imagine that this property will only increase in value,” he said. The city is expected to mount a public consultation on the use of the land at some point in the next few years. “It is not known what the final configuration of the site will be,” a city staff report noted, explaining that the land may be crucial in transforming the area into a “dynamic regional tourist attraction.” In the near future, the city will manage the building at 15 Chesterfield, collecting rent from four tenants until their leases expire and using that cash to top up the development cost charge reserve fund. As of Dec. 31, 2015, the city had more than $23 million socked away in the fund – including the money that will be spent on the Chesterfield Place project. The motion passed 4-2 with Couns. Clark and Bookham opposed. Coun. Craig Keating did not attend the meeting.

100 guns collected during annual amnesty Replica musket, antique pistols among weapons willingly turned in BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

A cache of 100 firearms was turned over from North Shore residents’ closets and crawl spaces during this October’s gun amnesty.

The province arranges an amnesty every few years to collect guns – no questions asked – that are no longer wanted by their owners, to prevent them from ever being misused or falling into the wrong hands. The guns are catalogued and researched before being destroyed. West Vancouver police brought in 48 firearms altogether, and 2,300 rounds of ammunition, slightly up from the last amnesty in 2013, which collected 33 guns. Included in the haul were seven shotguns, 27 rifles of varying types and caliber, and 14 pistols. Notable finds turned over to officers were a Waffen 7.5 revolver, which was

standard issue in the Swiss army from 1882 to 1949; two British Webley revolvers, possibly left over from the First World War; one Walther PPK (James Bond’s favoured gun) and some .38 specials. “No rocket launchers,” said Const. Jeff Palmer, West Vancouver police spokesman “But a lot of very capable

firearms, which, with ammunition and the wrong hands, could cause a great deal of harm and heartache.” North Vancouver RCMP members collected 42 rifles, shotguns and pistols as well as one replica musket that may have once been a prop from a locally shot movie, according to police. That’s

down significantly from 90 firearms collected in 2013. “Which is encouraging,” said Cpl. Richard De Jong, North Vancouver RCMP spokesman. “You’d like to think our closets and hiding places are becoming less and less occupied with unwanted firearms. Hopefully there will come a day when we have

none or very few turned in.” Police don’t discourage the legal keeping or sale of firearms, Palmer said, but most often, guns collected in the amnesty are coming from homes where they were never wanted nor stored properly. “A good number of the ones that we’re receiving here are rifles or pistols that a deceased family member had and people have not really known what to do with them,”

he said. “They’re just relieved not to have it in the house and definitely it’s a relief to us to know that if someone’s house is broken into, there isn’t a firearm that could be taken and find an illegal use somewhere.” Depending on their vintage and condition, the antique pistols are popular with collectors, although none of the weapons will likely be saved from the smelter, Palmer said.

More than words

ommemorating Remembrance Day on Nov. 11 is an opportunity for Canadians to remember and thank those who served in past conflicts. We are lucky that wars on the scale of those that made an indelible mark on older generations have not touched the general population of younger Canadians in the same way. As time marches on, there are fewer of the older generation of soldiers left at the cenotaph ceremonies these days. Yet we shouldn’t think that means we don’t have veterans in need of our help. Some of our youngest veterans – such as those who served in Afghanistan – also bear psychological and physical scars from their service to our country. We may not see them at Remembrance Day ceremonies as often. Their missions may be perceived by the public through a more complex lens than those of past

military men and women. Yet their war wounds – including posttraumatic stress disorder that surfaces long after their combat missions are over – are just as real as those of earlier generations of soldiers. The federal Liberals campaigned on greater help for veterans, including reopening some service centres and improving pensions. Some progress has been made in the year since, but more work remains. Veterans shouldn’t have to navigate a Byzantine bureaucracy or battle to get the help they need to resume their lives with dignity. It’s up to all of us to keep the pressure on. As Canadians we owe it to all veterans to show our thanks, not just on Nov. 11, but through our collective willingness to provide the help they need, including timely access to mental health services and other real practical assistance, the rest of the year as well.

First-time home buyer? Have I got a deal for you

he word “affordability” gets tossed around a lot these days – including my last column, in which I mused that various “affordability” measures adopted by senior governments have done little to bring home ownership closer to first-time buyers and have merely taken some of the air out of the equity enjoyed by greedy boomers such as myself. Which got me thinking. Just how hard is it to buy a home on the North Shore? So I did something rare in journalism these days: research. With the help of running buddy and real estate agent extraordinaire Juliet Nicoll, I bypassed all the nosebleedinducing real estate ads (“a steal at $2 million!”) and went to the Multiple Listing Service to identify the cheapest single family detached house,

The North Side Paul Sullivan townhouse and condo in North Vancouver. West Vancouver and “cheapest” don’t go together, so Canada’s priciest postal code was immediately eliminated. Let’s start with the single family detached. As of Tuesday that was a little gem at 620 Queensbury Ave., 956 square feet of charm, complete with a picket-like fence

CONTACTUS

(that needs painting) with an asking price of $1,050,000. That’s one million, fifty thousand dollars if you prefer words over numbers. That’s right folks, the cheapest detached house in North Vancouver costs more than a million dollars. That’s unless you count 29 Johnson Bay, out there in Indian Arm, for $499,000, but you can only get there via a 20-minute boat ride. Interesting commute. OK, let’s try a townhouse, one step down on the home/ castle scale. The cheapest on offer as of Tuesday was 3325 Mountain Hwy. in beautiful Lynn Valley. Comes with a rooftop deck! View of the mountains! Only $625,000. It’s not so bad if you say it quickly. OK, OK. Nice, but only if your definition of affordable includes two-thirds of a million dollars.

So, let’s turn to the best way into the market, the condo! And I’ve got just what you’re looking for, a “funky” garden apartment on a quiet street in prime LoLo (real estate speak for Lower Lonsdale). And the asking price is actually almost affordable for mere mortals: $289,000. So it’s a belt-tightening 625 square feet. To compare, the average North American hotel room is 300350 feet, so this is almost twice as big. What do you expect for only $289K? Then there’s that word “funky.” Not sure if the agent is referring to the Urban Dictionary definition of funky: “different but cool/nice” or the Merriam-Webster definition: “Having an offensive odour.” Surely it’s the former. The question remains: are any of these lodgings “affordable” if you’re a young family

just starting out? Well, these days that’s a complex question. With the “stress test” introduced by the federal government, it’s a good deal tougher to get a mortgage if you’re bringing less than a 20 per cent down payment to the table. And just so we still have our feet on the ground, 20 per cent of $289,000 is $57,800. How many young families have that much saved? And if you’re a young family earning the median household income of $76,000 with a monthly debt of $1,000 (say, a car payment and credit card) and you’re only able to scratch up the traditional starter down payment of five per cent, the most you’ll be able to afford is a home with a sale price of $300,000. So you could just squeak into the bidding for the “funky” condo in LoLo. Don’t forget lawyers, monthly condo fees ($257.38

Are you aware of the West Van byelection? There’s an election race right now. No, not that one. Eleven candidates are vying for one seat, vacated by the late Michael Lewis, at the West Vancouver council table. The last municipal byelection on the North Shore, held in 2004 to replace North Vancouver District mayor Don Bell, saw a 23.87 per cent voter turnout. A byelection in 1991 drew 12.38 per cent of eligible voters. The West Van byelection is set for Nov. 19, with an advance voting opportunity on Nov. 14. Want to know more?

Veterans deserve our thanks Dear Editor: I am proud to be part of Operation Legacy, in which members and graduates of The War Amps Child Amputee Program pass on the remembrance message to the younger generation. As Remembrance Day is fast approaching, I would like to pay special tribute to all men and women who have

served in Canada’s military, and especially acknowledge those who lost a limb or limbs while serving Canada. I was born a left arm amputee and have learned to overcome this challenge thanks to programs put in place by amputee veterans of The War Amps. I am grateful for the work that amputee veterans have done in advocating

and supporting child amputee programs. It is important that we remember the sacrifices that our veterans have made for us, and recognize the sacrifices of those still serving. On Remembrance Day, Nov. 11, please take a moment to remember those who have and continue to serve Canada. Griffin Davie, 22 North Vancouver

Grateful for compassionate care Dear Editor: Midday on Tuesday, Oct. 31, there was a woman with her dog, across the street from my home in the City of North Vancouver. She was clearly in distress, having left her shoes 50 metres behind her and then continuing to fall on the lawns. Both my neighbour and I offered her help, a ride home, anything. She declined and was in all likelihood intoxicated. She also appeared to be in some emotional distress. It was cold and wet and both she and her dog were soaked through. We finally agreed to call for help. An RCMP officer arrived and while he had to be stern, he tried his best to assist this woman with a safe way home from an adult family member.

During the long interaction she hurled expletives and abuse due to her condition. She didn’t make it easy on herself. Despite best efforts, no one could be contacted to come and get the woman. The officer maintained composure and when finally he had no other choice but to arrest her for public drunkeness it was for her own safety. A second officer arrived to assist at that point. But what of the large, soaking wet, protective-of-hisowner golden retriever? My neighbour had managed to leash the animal and keep him calm. We were prepared to care for the animal or take it to the SPCA but no, the RCMP put the animal in the second vehicle and were

clear that the animal would be properly kennelled, fed and watered back at the station until a family member could come and get it. Such compassion. This animal is clearly this woman’s best friend. She needs help and both these officers did the very best they could under the situation. The public is quick to criticize and film but I can only say thank-you. This is the kind of community needed – one that helps. Each situation is different and there are no magical answers but we must be thankful for such professionalism and compassion when we see it.

Senior hiker rescued on Seymour Early sunset increases trail risk, North Shore Rescue warns BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

The daylight time change has stranded its first victim in the North Shore Mountains.

North Shore Rescue was scouring Mount Seymour in the rain Sunday night after a 60-year-old local man was reported overdue from his hike. The man’s wife became

worried when he failed to come home and all of her calls to his cellphone went to voicemail. He’d set out on his hike around 2:30 p.m. with sunset coming in less than two hours. “He didn’t give himself a lot of daylight hours,” said Mike Danks, North Shore Rescue team leader, although, unlike most rescue subjects NSR deals with, the man was an

experienced hiker who was well equipped with extra clothing and a headlamp and solid local trail knowledge. Still, with no cellphone contact, it took searchers several hours to find him. Search managers sent in the three rescue teams on foot around 7:30 p.m. to search the area around First Pump Peak. Eventually, they made voice contact with him around midnight and found him cliff-banded in an area northeast of the peak, before walking him out.

“He got off trail in the dark. He got into an area where he wasn’t able to go up or down anymore and he basically just hunkered down there,” Danks said. The rescue could have been carried out much quicker if the team had been able to get a hold of the hiker directly, Danks said. “The lesson learned here is, if you’re lost, and search and rescue is involved, please conserve your battery and communicate directly with the people who are looking for you.”

Although they are not under any suspicion, police are asking the driver of the black SUV, as well as any other witnesses, to come forward to assist the investigation. Impairment from drugs or alcohol is not considered a factor in the collision and RCMP have not yet determined whether anyone involved will be ticketed.

The incident comes as police agencies have been pushing a pedestrian safety message, as earlier sunsets and bad weather hamper visibility. “Both drivers and pedestrians share the responsibility to ensure that intersections are clear and safe to proceed before entering,” Harder said. “As the days get shorter and the rain persists, pedestrians are increasingly difficult to see. Pedestrians need to ensure the walk signal is lit prior to crossing, and also need to look, listen, and be visible.”

OTHERVOICES

Action needed on poverty reduction plan

TRISH GARNER Contributing writer

When will the provincial government start listening to British Columbians?

If the government were listening to British Columbians, they would have heard that families are struggling to make ends meet with rising housing costs, child-care fees, MSP premiums, hydro rates, and food costs. The cry of unaffordability is thick in the air, and it’s the symptom of a very broken social safety net pulled from under our feet. They would have heard that about 120 people showed up in the North Shore homeless count in 2014, which does not capture those living deep in the woods, in overcrowded, unsafe housing, or those on the brink of losing their homes. Tent cities throughout the province are signs of a housing crisis in all communities in B.C. Affordable housing is out of reach to so many. But the government hasn’t listened for years. Every fall, the select standing committee on finance and government services holds provincewide public consultations on what people think should be included in the next provincial budget. And every fall, community groups of every stripe dutifully present or write to the committee. But this year, we considered not participating. Not because we don’t need a provincial poverty reduction plan any more. Far from it. Rather, our reluctance comes from the fact that a chorus of voices has been making this call and it continues to fall on deaf ears – not on the part of the committee, but rather the government.

In fact, the bipartisan committee has recommended a provincial poverty reduction plan for the last three years. And the Union of B.C. Municipalities has unanimously passed resolutions in support of this call since 2009, expressing a strong collective call from local governments for provincial action. As Einstein said, “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” So we decided to shake it up this year. If the government were listening, they would have heard that people with disabilities really need their bus passes. Faced with an untenable choice, giving up the bus pass for a little more to buy food becomes the only option, and cuts off people with disabilities from community life. They would have heard that people participating in the Welfare Food Challenge last month lived on only $18 for food for the week because the average rent of a room in the Downtown Eastside with no bathroom or kitchen is now about $500, and the welfare rate of $610 has not been increased since 2007. They would have heard that half the people living in poverty in B.C. have a job, or two, or three. In Metro Vancouver, more than 100,000 working people are poor – not surprising given that the minimum wage is about half the living wage, which reflects the actual cost of living. Work should lift you out of poverty but it doesn’t for so many in our province. If the government were listening, they would have heard that B.C. has one of the highest poverty rates in Canada, with one in five children living in poverty.

Almost half a million British Columbians experience some level of food insecurity. Yet B.C. is the only province without a poverty reduction plan. They would have heard that other places are saving lives and money with poverty reduction plans. Newfoundland and Labrador reduced food insecurity by 50 per cent by raising welfare rates. Quebec provides universal child care that takes the burden off families and makes money for the government. With provincial funding, Medicine Hat, Alta. has ended homelessness in their city by building homes. They would have heard that poverty is bad for all of us. Homeless people die half a lifetime younger. Children in poverty are not growing up happy and healthy. The health of all of us suffers from living in an unequal society. And our province loses eight to nine billion dollars each year paying for the costs of poverty. So, even though the finance committee consultation is now closed, we encourage everyone to write to the government (and your local candidates) and tell them what you want them to hear about the poverty, homelessness and inequality in our communities and the need for a comprehensive solution. Perhaps with an election on the horizon, now is the time for listening – especially if we’re so loud, we can’t be ignored. We’re stronger together. So let’s all tell the government to listen up. Trish Garner is the community organizer of the B.C. Poverty Reduction Coalition and invites readers to add their name to an open letter calling for a legislated B.C. poverty reduction plan, at bcpovertyreduction.ca.

Horseshoe Bay shuttle in mix?

Dear Editor: Sixty years ago, if the weather on a Sunday was fine, we would often drive along Marine – only route then – to Horseshoe Bay and have breakfast at Sewell’s diner … hard to imagine going to the Bay along Marine on a Sunday these days. Well, time passes. Let me see if I have this straight. Into this tiny cramped little village – only three

routes in and out: two by land, one by sea – we are going to put 159 residences with let’s say 200 or so people and 159 or more resident cars? Or perhaps the new people will use the bus – after all there’s no gas station in the Bay and they will have to go to Caulfeild for groceries anyway. Perhaps a shuttle bus will be available?

It will be interesting to see the “locals” lined up with a million or so in their hot little hands, eager to secure a place in the Bay -- a strange plan indeed, but obviously a lucrative one for the developers. And as a local Realtor told me lately: “The market is hot! You are sitting on a gold mine.” Indeed. Jas Derham-Reid West Vancouver

URP Events presents rock musical at Centennial Theatre

Rent is due

The powerful rock musical Rent is set to consume the Centennial Theatre stage as URP Event Productions returns to the arena with the large scale drama.

This year is significant for the hit Broadway play, celebrating its 20th anniversary, and for the URP team, who are producing Rent after a seven-year break from the main stage at Centennial Theatre.

“URP, in terms of its bread and butter, is a special events company and we haven’t taken a break from that,” says director, Richard Berg. URP has remained active in the community by programming West Vancouver’s Harmony Arts festival and doing studio shows for small audiences. Their last large scale performance was an original production of Disney’s High School Musical 2. “The theatre side has always been a labour of love – My beginning is in theatre and I wanted to do that for as long as I could, but the shows were losing money.” The financial reality caused URP to approach this year’s production slightly differently; they’ve shortened the musical’s run to only five days and Berg hopes that encourages more people to come see it.

Berg found no other scheduled upcoming performances in Vancouver for Rent, so he saw his chance to strike it off of his long to-do list. “On a personal level it’s just a show that I dearly love myself and surprisingly over the years it was one we had never done.” Passion packs a powerful punch in this production of Rent and Berg is excited to give these young actors the chance to perform the iconic theatre anthems that defined a period in Broadway history. Many members of the cast graduated from Capilano University’s theatre program, Exit 22, including Ali Watson,

Lennon show revisits life of Liverpool genius Daniel Taylor sings classic Beatles’ tunes at Kay Meek ! Lennon: Through a Glass Onion – Daniel Taylor with Stewart D’Arrietta perform songs of Lennon and Lennon/McCartney, Kay Meek Centre, Friday, Nov. 11 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets: $42.50. JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

To mark the 50th anniversary of The Beatles’ arrival in the United States, Cary Schneider of the Los Angeles collected a few notable reviews the group received following that first historic performance on the Ed Sullivan Show. The “appallingly unmusical” quartet would be best left to the tentacles of an octopus, wrote conservative pundit and self-professed non crypto-fascist William F. Buckley.

Nearly every critic of the day devoted some of their artistry to the Fab Four’s haircuts, describing the mop tops as “great pudding bowls” and “bizarre shrubbery.” The audience are either apes, young ladies enjoying a moment of hysterical rapture before returning to the path of motherhood, or actors in a lurid capitalist conspiracy make the band appear talented. But the most memorable line, written by a surelydisappointed wag for the Hartford Courant, was simply this: “Stiff lip, old chap, even The Beatles will pass!” Speaking from his hotel in Kelowna, actor and singer Daniel Taylor cheerfully talks about playing John Lennon and about the enthusiasm that commonly greets Lennon: Through a Glass Onion. “We get standing ovations everywhere so I think we’re doing something right,” he says. “I’m really chuffed.” In the last moment of Lennon’s life, after Mark David Chapman has fired but before his bullets rob the

world, the show unfolds. Through a Glass Onion (named for Lennon’s White Album encapsulation of The Beatles) is what flashed through Lennon’s eyes, Taylor explains. His relationships with his aunt, mother and absentee father wind through some of Lennon’s most biographical songs. “It’s very warts and all,” Taylor says of the show. The show refers to the days when Lennon and McCartney were in their musical infancy, tramping around Liverpool looking for a “mate that could play” their missing chord so they could carry on with their songwriting, Taylor notes. Lennon’s wit, generosity, and temper are marbled into reminiscences about his days as a “thorn in the American government’s backside” and his compulsion to leave the world’s most famous band. “I play John as if John’s very much on the stage,” Taylor says. “We have this tremendous lighting, the way

When singer and actor Marcus Mosely first saw his new StarWalk Star, recently installed on Vancouver’s Granville Street near the Commodore Ballroom as part of his induction into the B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame, he was truly overwhelmed.

“(When) I finally found it, it was like tunnel vision. I can’t tell you who’s on either side of me,” the North Vancouver resident says with a laugh. The announcement of the honour, which came earlier this year, has been “mindblowing” to say the least, according to the founder, artistic director and leader of The Marcus Mosely

Chorale, and member of The Sojourners. “It’s something that I never expected or thought might come my way,” he says. Mosely feels incredibly blessed for the friends who he says “conspired together” to help him earn the accolade. Their generosity has left him humbled. “My choir members are some wonderful people and I’m really grateful for them. They have this uncanny ability to know the right time to do things in my life, that happen at the right time in the right way, and this is one of those times,” he says. Mosely reflects on his 60th birthday when the choir held a surprise party for him, going so far as to fly his mother up from the states. “They told me that we had a team meeting for the choir, which we do regularly. I showed up at the place and walked in the door and there was everybody there. And it was my mom who answered the door and I was shocked of course. I started blubbering right away when I realized what was going on,” he says. Those same friends are the ones banding together for a special celebration to honour his induction into the B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame this Sunday evening, Nov. 13, at Vancouver’s St. James Community Hall.

Members of The Marcus Mosely Chorale and a host of musical guests will take the stage, including Dee Daniels, Jim Byrnes, The Tenors’ Clifton Murray, Candace Churchill and The Sojourners’ Will Sanders. Mosely himself will also take the stage, as will representatives from the hall of fame. Originally from Ralls, Texas, Vancouver has been Mosely’s home for the last three decades. “I came here just before Expo 86. Once I’d been here for a while I decided this is going to be home. I was a missionary for a lot of years, I lived very itinerantly, I lived out of a suitcase for a long time. When I came to Vancouver I realized this is going to be home, this is where I’m going to put down roots,” he says. Upon settling in the Lower Mainland, Mosely continued to work to find his place and make his mark in the local creative community, connecting with area musicians and those involved in the theatre. “It’s been a wonderful, amazing journey ever since then,” he says. His career highlights range from starring in stage productions like Show Boat, as well as producing his own show at the Arts Club Theatre Company entitled It’s Time to Sing, a chronology of African-American

Gospel music from slavery to present time. He has sung around the world, worked with countless artists in the studio and appeared on screen and as a voice performer in a wide range of projects. “I love Vancouver. The city and the people of Vancouver have always been so generous and kind to me. They’ve given me opportunities to do what I love to do and that’s make music and to sing. When I talk to people, they say, ‘What do you do?‘ And I say, ‘Well, I’m one of those people that’s very fortunate to get paid to do what I love to do and that’s to sing,’” he says. In addition to this weekend’s celebratory event, members of The Marcus Mosely Chorale have a busy holiday season ahead of them. Some upcoming highlights include a performance at the Dundarave Festival of Lights at West Vancouver’s Dundarave Beach Nov. 26, Yule Duel in Gastown Dec. 1 and Out For Lunch at the Vancouver Art Gallery Dec. 2. The choir will also present its annual winter concerts Dec. 17 at Vancouver’s Unity Church and Dec. 18 at North Vancouver’s Highlands United Church.

Taylor’s parents hung around same places as The Beatles did From page 14 it falls on me, it freaks me out.” Taylor has an impressive grasp of Lennon, taking time during our interview to note the way Lennon’s midAtlantic twang flattened his Liverpool inflections during his New York days, turning “rec-ords” into “rec-erds.” Besides bearing a certain resemblance to the singer, Taylor (as one might guess after he uses the word “chuffed”) is a fellow Liverpudlian. “They used to knock around in the same village

as my mum and dad,” Taylor says of the Beatles. Besides going to school with original drummer Pete Best, Taylor’s mother was a regular at joints like the Cavern Club and the Casbah Coffee Club – places North American Beatles’ fans have only ever seen in black and white. But it was only recently Taylor took the time to ask his mother what the Beatles represented to her. “She said, ‘They represented freedom.’” Taylor has played Lennon on stage twice now, the first in a play that supposes

Mark David Chapman was an assassin brainwashed by the government. “I didn’t really have any songs to sing in that,” Taylor notes. In Through a Glass Onion, he has 31 songs, including “Jealous Guy,” “Strawberry Fields Forever,” and “Working Class Hero.” “I think the one you don’t want to balls up is ‘Imagine,’” Taylor says with a laugh, describing the tune as “pretty much in all our DNA.” More than a half-century after Lennon set foot in North America, his music still rouses audiences.

Rent retains its timelessness

Darren Adams, Kai Bradbury, and Synthia Yusuf. “There’s a lot of conventions in it that push toward rock concert, you know, the band is very present and exposed and there’s a lot of moments where the cast just stands at the edge of the stage and sings at the audience in a very performance oriented way,” says Berg. “There are a lot of moments that are exciting by virtue of having young talented performers give’r.”

The HIV/AIDS crisis in the late 1980’s serves as the backdrop to this poignant drama and despite the majority of the cast being in their midtwenties, making them too young to have experienced the height of the pandemic, Berg says they have discussed the impact of this era at length. “I remember friends of my parents being diagnosed and knowing that that meant that they would die in a year. That’s just not the reality now,” he says. “It’s interesting, in such

a short period of time the show’s really become a period piece. It’s like doing a period drama in a lot of ways, and we talked about that a lot a rehearsals.” The story of ardent and young creatives struggling toward success maintains its timelessness, says Berg, referencing the original inspiration for the play, Giacomo Puccini’s opera La Bohème, which is set in the 19th century. “People don’t die of consumption anymore but we still enjoy watching the original material – despite the

fact that (we) can’t directly relate to having that disease either,” he said. “I think that 20 years later, it’s just as relevant to be in love with someone you’re going to lose, or to not know if you’re going to have the same friends tomorrow that you have today, or to realize that it could all change in a heartbeat.” Berg and the rest of the URP team are eager to return to their original main stage at the Centennial Theatre for their short run of Rent, showing from Nov. 15 to 20.

‘One size fits all fashion’ inspires dancing Vibrant clothes reflect designer’s idea of beauty MARIA SPITALE-LEISK mspitale-leisk@nsnews.com

“A gift from the heavens for plus-size women” is how North Vancouver fashion designer Kjaer Pedersen describes her collections.

It can be “ridiculously impossible” to find flattering and fashionable clothing for curvier women, says Pedersen, who designs with women of all shapes and sizes in mind for her brand, K-o.me. Universally flattering is the drape design that Pedersen employs when creating her one-of-a-kind kimonos, tunics and ethereal jackets. The silk fabric whimsically cascades from the shoulders down for an elegant feel. Vibrant asymmetrical skirts are also featured prominently in Pedersen’s collection. “So often when women put on my clothes, they want to dance,” says Pedersen. She designs using an array of vibrant fabrics – silk, polyester and bamboo – which exude her idea of beauty. A lifelong artist and teacher, Pedersen, who has a penchant for charcoal portraits, is inspired by the natural surroundings on the North Shore, especially the ocean. When she told her sons about her foray into fashion, they were dubious. “They said, ‘But mom you’ve never even sewn on a button.’”

Pedersen leans on her mathematical skills and an innate talent to bring her fashion ideas to fruition. Her father was a master tailor in Denmark and her mother, a seamstress. “I think I learned a lot more at their feet than I realized – it just came naturally,” she says. Pedersen free-hand cuts the fabric she sources mainly from Canadian suppliers, inside her studio nestled in a building with jewelry, fashion designers and other artists on Pemberton Avenue. A crushed velvet silk jacket in burgundy is a piece from her current collection with a decidedly ’90s esthetic that is currently en vogue again. Pedersen says her designs are timeless and versatile and can be dressed up or down. Her unique clothing line has caught the eye of local and abroad fashionistas alike. A woman living in Germany commissioned Pedersen to make outfits for her wedding, while a clothing boutique in San Francisco also carries some of the K-o.me collection. For the seventh year, Pedersen has been chosen to sell her clothes at the popular Circle Craft Market, on now until Nov. 13. K-o.me joins fellow North Shore fashion brands Moojoes Outdoor Gear, Dahlia Drive, Linda Paterson Jewellery, Treats Designs and Chi’s Creations. Locally, K-o.me can be found at Marilyn’s Of West Vancouver and at Pedersen’s

North Vancouver designer Kjaer Pedersen shows off some colouful pieces from her collection. studio at 195 Pemberton Ave. K-o.me is open by appointment and also the first Saturday of every month from noon to 4 p.m. The 195 Artist Studios will be having an open house on Dec. 3 from noon to 4 p.m. “It’s a chance for people to come down and shop one-of-a-kind creations for themselves and for gifts,” says Pederson. More information is available at 604-612-6070 or komeclothing.ca.

Machine Guns Vegas keeps it all under control Sin City attraction allows visitors to exercise second amendment rights TED DAVIS Meridian Writers’ Group

LAS VEGAS – In the United States, the number of guns reportedly exceeded the population of 313 million in 2012.

For many non-Americans, the appeal of this often fatal attraction (about 13,000 Americans were killed by guns in 2015) is likely to stay a mystery, since legally obtaining arms in most Western countries is difficult — and nearly impossible if the weapon in question is an assault rifle. But that’s not a problem in America. And it is certainly no problem at Machine Guns Vegas. From the outside, Machine Guns Vegas is non-descript: a low, grey concrete building in a light industry/warehouse zone, just minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. Inside is a shooting range with eight lanes and lockers full of armaments, from handguns to sniper rifles. Different mixes are sold as packages; I opt for the four-weapon Gamers’

Samantha, a range safety officer at Machine Guns Vegas, demonstrates the operation of an MP5 9mm submachine gun. PHOTO SUPPLIED TED DAVIS MERIDIAN WRITERS GROUP Shooting Range Experience. There are legal and instructional procedures to be completed, but nothing onerous. Everything is designed to make this as much fun as any other activity in Las Vegas. You are led to the shooting range and invited to choose a target from a selection of villains, including a sneering Osama Bin Laden. The large paper sheet is clipped into a line that slides out to a predetermined distance – close for beginners like me. Directing me through my first experience in this world is an instructor who does not meet expectations – unless those expectations

include James Bond movies. Samantha, the range safety officer, is dressed in formfitting black, head-to-toe, and wearing stylish protective eyeglasses. She also wears thin, finger-tight gloves, and quickly goes to work, expertly snapping various bolts and levers and loading each gun with 10-round clips. Then she hands the first weapon over. The Glock 17 pistol is amazingly light and compact. I fire my rounds and score bulls-eyes on all the shots, eliciting surprise and some giddy glee. Hey, this is kind of fun. Things get tougher as the weapons advance through a hierarchy of more powerful

weapons, and following the Glock are three semi-automatic assault rifles. All give a progressively more abrupt kick as the power and calibre increase. We are instructed to squeeze off bursts of two or three rounds, and brace ourselves with a wide-leg stance and as much stability as possible where the gun butt meets the shoulder. As expected, the AK-47 exerts the most forceful kick, delivered with a loud, angry chatter of rounds. It’s harder to keep the AK-47 on target as it coughs out tongues of flame – sensations that can’t be mimicked in any video game. After 45 minutes of instruction and shooting, all the weapons have generated a fine, acrid film of smoke, and the smell stays on the hands and clothes well after washing up and leaving. Were some gun mysteries solved by this experience? Yes, there’s a destructive delight in blasting away with automatic weapons, no doubt about it. But at Machine Guns Vegas it’s conducted in a controlled, instructional environment, with no harm to any lives or limbs. If you go: For more information on

Well Fed’s fundraising meal program is a recipe for success for schools and sports teams background in nutritional science and worked in the food industry for years before opening Well Fed.

Is your school trying to fundraise for a new jungle gym? Or maybe your little league team is hoping to raise money for a new batting cage?

Some customer favourites remain on the menu year-round, including ovenready beef burritos and meat lasagna – “a real lasagna full of meat, with lots of cheese,” she explained.

Well Fed has a delicious recipe for success. The North Vancouver food studio that prepares healthy readyto-go meals is offering a special group purchasing/fundraising program.

For kids, chicken tenders and baked pasta are perennial faves.

Here’s how it works: If your school or sports team is hosting a special fundraising event, Well Fed will provide the meals at discount pricing so that more of the money you raise can go towards the fundraising target. “It really adds up,” said Ann Marie Rideout, owner of Well Fed. “We’re very community focused. We all live and work here. Our kids go to school and play sports here. We want to give back.” Rideout came up with the concept of Well Fed because she wanted to serve up nutritious, delicious food solutions for time-starved families and busy professionals. “I think a lot of people these days need meal solutions,” she said. “We make ready-to-cook dinners using highquality, preservative-free ingredients for busy people who want to eat well.” That means natural, antibiotic and hormone-free beef, chicken and pork, wild salmon and free-range eggs, all sourced locally. “Everyday meals prepared like you would make at home

if you had more time,” she said.

“We make readyto-cook dinners using high-quality, preservative-free ingredients for busy people who want to eat well.”

“We have happy customers,” she said. “They want good, wholesome meals rather than fast food. Good things that are good for you.”

Well Fed also serves scratchmade, nutrient-rich hot lunches for schools, daycares and businesses on the North Shore. For the school meals, Well Fed uses a balance of ingredients – not just starches – so that kids get enough nutrients and lean proteins to have plenty of energy to play and learn effectively. “Healthy meals that will fuel them up,” said Rideout.

You order meals from a rotating, seasonal menu. November’s selections include: Beef Stew with Red Wine and Mushrooms topped with Blue Cheese, Classic Cottage Pie with Sweet Potatoes & Lean Ground Chicken, PomegranateBalsamic Glazed Wild Sockeye Salmon, Chicken Parmesan, Chicken Marbella – and much more.

Well Fed offers delivered bulk meal packages and individual entrees (2-3

REVIEW: ARRIVAL

Mother knows best how to talk to aliens ! Arrival. Directed by Denis Villeneuve. Starring Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner. Rating: 9 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD Contributing writer

It’s motherhood that motivates the lead character in Arrival, infusing her with deep loss and sadness but also emboldening her to remove all protective gear in the face of danger when the tough guys around her could or would not.

It takes a woman to strip down to basics in order to try and communicate properly; director Denis Villeneuve chose Amy Adams for the role, and by the film’s end we can imagine no one else expressive enough for the task. Adams plays Louise Banks, a linguistics professor teaching to a class that is suddenly pelted by ringing cell phones. A student asks her to turn on the news: the planet, it seems, has been invaded. Army helicopters buzz overhead the next day as Louise returns to a deserted campus, where Colonel Weber (Forest Whitaker) suddenly appears with a highly classified recording of the invaders’ various clicks and moans. It’s like nothing she’s heard before, and Louise says she can’t possibly translate unless she was to see the creatures face to face (or face to tentacle, as fate may have it). The government refuses and Louise retreats to her house on the lake, falling asleep and waking to the news that a dozen mammoth elliptical craft have landed – well, hovered – over random sites around the globe. A military chopper slices the silence, landing on her front lawn and Col. Weber returns, contrite. She’s whisked away to a site in Montana along with theoretical physicist Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner), and the two arrive just in time to see the last analyst being carried out on a stretcher. “Not everyone is wired for what you are about to do,” a doc explains. The gargantuan craft, resembling half of a smoothed, black pebble, hangs vertically and in sharp contrast to the green pastures that surround it. Clouds roll nearby but seem to avoid it. Louise and Ian – and we, the viewers – get up and personal with the space craft and its inhabitants pretty quickly: a small opening in the

“ship” only appears every 18 hours, so Louise is on a tight deadline to see if the visitors come in peace or mean to do harm. It’s an impressive, gravitydefying introduction. The aliens can be seen hovering, dancing in a gauzy white atmosphere behind some kind of glass wall. Over time, and after Louise throws aside that bulky space helmet, she realizes that the tentacle creatures communicate best by inky circles, not unlike coffee stains on a paper napkin. “How about we just talk to them before we throw math problems at them?” Louise asks, exasperated. But progress is too slow for the other countries where the crafts have landed. When Louise receives a single word, “weapon”, China and Russia panic and cut communication. But the English language is tricky, much less a languageby-ink-blot: does “weapon” really mean “tool”? Are they offering a gift? The real enemy seems to come from within, not from outer space. The film raises the bigger issues of war and our planet’s divisiveness, and director Denis Villeneuve (Sicario, Incendies) creates a time-bending, terrifyingly realistic and immersive experience through otherworldly camera angles and aided by a solemn, moody

Amy Adams plays Louise Banks, a linguistics professor, in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi thriller Arrival. score from Johan Johansson. But Adams perfectly portrays both the weighty sadness of loss and quiet wonder of new discovery; so often her reactions beat us to the punch. And as things get more complex, Adams compensates: the more visits she makes to the craft, the more frequently Louise dreams in the aliens’ language and sees images of the daughter she has lost. Again it’s a mother’s place to protect the planet and future generations from boys with their fingers on the triggers. Rarely has a science-fiction film been this touching. The story begins and ends with the life of Louise’s daughter but “I’m not sure if I believe in beginnings and endings anymore.” And neither will the viewer after their first viewing of Arrival.

MULLIGAN, TERENCE (TERRY) May 28, 1933 - November 6, 2016 Terry passed away peacefully on November 6 at the age of 83. It was not part of his plan to leave us so soon - he still had things to do at home, at Hotel Lake, at the office and money left on his compass card. He leaves behind Joyce, his loving wife of 61 years, children Kelly (Tony), Ryan and Erin, grandchildren Corey, Keara and David, sisters Pat (Barry) and Colleen (Lionel) and many other relatives and lifetime friends. Terry was predeceased by his sister Valerie (Bob). Terry worked tirelessly for the mining industry for most of his very long career and for the past 22 years at the helm of the Mining Suppliers Association of BC as President, CEO and all around go-to-guy. His knowledge of the mining industry and its people was extraordinary. His stories were and are legendary. Retirement was not part of his long range plans. Terry had an enthusiastic positive outlook on life and his sense of humour was one of his greatest gifts. We will smile and remember fondly each time we think of some great stunt, joke or scheme he managed to pull off on family, friends and colleagues.

JENNEX, Yvonne Ruth Woodard January 17, 1938 - November 5, 2016 Yvonne Ruth Jennex, North Vancouver, BC passed away on November 5, 2016 at the age of 78 years. A registered nurse herself, she has spent her life caring for others, including her five grandchildren (Noah, Kiahna, Halle, Joshua and Jaxon), who will miss her greatly. Yvonne was an avid gardener and a proud product of southern Saskatchewan, where she was predeceased by her parents, John and Christine Woodard; her brothers Francis, Leo, Urban, and Clement; and her sister Mary Ann. She is survived by her brothers Louis (Marg) Woodard, Michael (Jean) Woodard, Tom Woodard, Gregory Woodard, Richard (Janet) Woodard; her sisters Gertrude Freiss, Agnes Brandes and Joan Martin; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews, and cousins. She will be missed and mourned by her two sons, John (Francely) and Keith (Tina), who are proud to call her Mom. The family thanks the wonderful staff of the Palliative Care unit at Lion’s Gate Hospital for making her so comfortable in her final days. “Trust in the Lord.” For family and friends so wishing, donations in memory of Yvonne Jennex may be made to the BC Kidney Foundation. Funeral Services to be held on Saturday, November 12th at 11AM at St. Edmund’s Parish, 545 Mahon Avenue, North Vancouver. A reception will follow the service at the church. To write a condolence for the family, please visit www.mckenziefuneralservices.com.

Terry had many talents but one of them was not winemaking. He made his special blend and designed his own wine label under his infamous “Onard” brand - “Drano” spelled backwards - it was a fitting name. He wouldn’t wish for anyone to mourn him but do raise a glass of cheap red wine and have a toast or two in his memory. That would make him laugh. In lieu of flowers, if desired, please make a donation on his behalf to the BC Cancer Agency or BC Children’s Hospital. We will miss him greatly.

COUCHMAN, Donald Warren August 25, 1968 - October 17, 2016 Donald was predeceased by his father (Donald) Richard Couchman, survived by his mother, Marie, sister Fiona (Geoff), uncle Patrick Carter (Kim), daughter Allison and her mother Leigh-Anne and Allison’s half sisters Devlyn and Emily. Over his twelve years at the Municipality of West Vancouver (Public Works Department), Donald established many lasting friendships which were very special to him. Donald’s outgoing personality and zest for life blesses him with innumerable comrades whom we wish to thank. Special thanks to Dr. Etienne Vilonel and the Doctors and staff at Lions Gate Intensive Care unit. A celebration of life for Richard and Donald will be held in the new year. Gone from us, but never forgotten (We will be at the Trapper’s cabin on your Birthday) .

The Altima is the latest Nissan product to adopt a new look based on a series of futuristic concept cars the company rolled out in recent years. The fresh face combined with advanced technology and a quiet, comfortable ride help the Altima stand out in a crowded sedan class. It is available at North Vancouver Nissan in the Northshore Auto Mall. PHOTO SUPPLIED NISSAN CANADA

Altima puts on a fresh new face As Nissan rolls out radically redesigned models, its best-selling vehicle in North America – the Altima – also adopts a fresh new look.

Behind The Wheel David Chao

A few years ago, Nissan paraded out a series of futuristic auto show concept vehicles that many people believed would never see production. However, after the releases of the new Murano and Maxima, it’s easy to see

the influence of those show cars. Now, the Nissan design team has adopted the key aspects of their new design philosophies to the Altima. The Nissan Altima competes in a very crowded market segment. Other popular mid-size sedans include the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and Honda Accord. Since the Altima received this mid-cycle refresh just last

year, the 2017 model sees few changes.

DESIGN The trickledown effect of Nissan’s range-wide redesign reaches the Altima. It’s one of the most extensive makeovers in Nissan history and shows many styling cues that debuted on the Murano and Maxima. The overall look, however, is a little more subdued on

the Altima. While the new grille, sculpted front fascia, and aggressive lights certainly give it a bolder look, it’s not a radical departure from its previous one. Reshaped bodylines, a new hood, and new front and rear bumpers also show some evolution. The tail light housings now extend horizontally into the trunk door, and all models feature dual chrome exhaust tips for

an extra sporty flair. The 2017 Altima offers room for five with good legroom in the back. The more angular design to the dash is the biggest change for this edition, and the materials also feel nicer to the touch.

Nice to see the return of an Alfa dog In person, the new Alfa Romeo Giulia sedan looks great.

Pictures don’t do it justice: in person, sheetmetal that looks a little overwrought in photos seems to smooth out, and the signature triangular grille looks less awkward. Alfa Romeo is back. The question becomes, so what? Do we really need yet another car brand? BMW and Mercedes already offer everything from hybrid supercars like the i8 to anachronistic battle tanks like the Gelandewagen. The Germans have left no niche unfilled. In the immortal words of Homer Simpson, Alfa finds itself in the position of trying to cram one more salty treat into America’s already bloated snack hole. Or car hole, as the case may be. We’re already up to our eyeballs in leased models of the 3 Series and C-Class, why do we need another (probably less reliable) four-door? The first argument made is that the Giulia is flippin’ great. The Quadrofoglio model, Alfa’s answer to the M3 or C63 AMG, is faster and more flavourful than either. Its twin-turbo V-6 is one of the best-sounding sixes on the market, cranking out 505 horsepower and basically

Grinding Gears Brendan McAleer proving itself worthy of being fitted into a Ferrari. Partially, that’s because it’s essentially a cousin of the F488’s twinturbo V-8. Then there’s the quick steering and lively chassis, and details like the carbon fibre hood. You can see the edge of this last as you peer out over the steering wheel in the Giulia’s somewhat cramped cabin. Even if you opt for the 280 h.p. turbofour, Alfa’s return feels like a triumph. It’s not as good at the tech or infotainment game as the German competition, but as a driver’s car with an injection of style, it’s lovely. Whipping through the chicanes at the back of Sonoma raceways, I experienced a singular feeling of

relief. Exhilaration was there as well, but finding that the Giulia was worthy of its Alfa badge was more a weight off the shoulders than a fire in the belly. The little 4C, which is pitched as a competitor to the Porsche Cayman, had any number of dynamic quirks, signaling the potential for the Giulia to lack that certain Alfa-Romeo spark. The weight of history behind Alfa’s badge is staggering. More than 100 years ago, the Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili company began producing lightweight machines, entering into racing almost immediately with the 1911 Targa Florio. A few years later, entrepreneur Nicola Romeo gained control of the company, which changed to materiel production during the First World War. After the war, Alfa Romeo emerged with the Torpedo 20-30 h.p., with racing successes coming at the beginning of the 1920s thanks in part to a young driver named Eno Ferrari. That’s right, Ferrari’s founder got his first job racing Alfa Romeos. In 1925, at the height of the roaring ‘20s, an Alfa Romeo P2 won the very first world Grand Prix

Slumbering Alfa Romeo roars back to life with the new Giulia, a welcome return for a storied company with a racing reputation that stretches back more than 100 years. PHOTO SUPPLIED championship. In 1935, Tazio Nuvolari drove an Alfa Romeo to victory at the German grand prix in front of the faster, more powerful Silver Arrows team. In what is surely the greatest victory in motor racing, the outdated and underpowered Alfa trounced the state-backed propaganda machines right in front of the Nazi elite. In

1950, an Alfa Romeo won the very first Formula One series. It won the next year too. Take all this racing success and distill it into light and lively road cars, ethereal little machines like the red Spider 1600 Duetto driven by Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate. Probably my favourite of the recent-classic Alfas is the delicious 2000 GT

Veloce (GTV), which has got to be one of the best looking Italian machines within the realm of a reasonable budget. And yet somehow, as the decades progressed, Alfa Romeo lost its way. There was esoteric madness like the Procar, which was essentially a sedan body on a V-10

Altima offers quiet, comfortable ride

From page 45

may not turn as many heads, the look should hold up well for many years. Available in six trim levels, the 2017 Altima ranges from the base 2.5 up to the 3.5 SL. The sporty 2.5 SR model that was introduced last year is still available and is distinguished by a subtle rear spoiler. PERFORMANCE Unlike many of its rivals, Nissan kept the engine options simple with the Altima. Instead of hybrid, diesel or various turbocharged gasoline powerplants, the Altima is only available with two traditional, naturally aspirated engines. Standard on most models is a 2.5-litre inline-four. It produces 182 horsepower and 180 foot-pounds of torque, which is adequate for most buyers. Thanks to a revised compression ratio and reduced internal friction, the already efficient four-cylinder is now even more so. Active grille shutters and improved aerodynamics also help in this regard. Available only on the top-of-therange model is a 3.5-litre V-6. It puts out 270 h.p. and 257 foot-pounds of torque. This makes the Altima surprisingly spry for a family sedan. The only transmission for both engines is Nissan’s CVT. It’s an excellent boost to fuel economy, but it takes some getting used to as it forgoes the predictable shift points of a traditional

automatic. However, it has been reprogrammed in the Altima to feel more like a regular automatic, and it is noticeable and appreciated. For most models, the Altima focuses on providing a quiet, comfortable ride. The steering feel is a big part of the driving experience; not only does the new Altima have a re-engineered steering system, but it also features an Active Understeer Control system. This uses sophisticated sensors and can lightly brake the inside front wheel during cornering to help with turn-in and is undetectable when it activates. The steering still feels a bit numb but in general, its feeling has improved a lot over the years. If you desire something a little more nimble and athletic, consider the Altima SR. With stiffer suspension and larger 18-inch wheels, it should satisfy those cravings. It doesn’t gain any extra horsepower over the base model, but it does include paddle shifters on the steering wheel that allow the driver to mimic gear changes. Safety also takes a step forward in this latest Altima edition. Predictive Forward Collision Warning can sense two vehicles ahead, and if that car stops suddenly, this feature alerts the driver so an accident can be avoided. Also included in Nissan’s “Safety Shield Technologies” is Forward Emergency Braking, Intelligent Cruise Control, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

ENVIRONMENT Riding in the new Altima is also an enjoyable experience. All models come with Nissan’s zero gravity seats that it claims were inspired by NASA. These seats, whether they are in standard cloth or optional leather, comfortably accommodate all body shapes. In terms of versatility, the front cup holders can now hold cups with handles – a small detail, but one that is appreciated nonetheless. Also, with 15.4 cubic feet of cargo room, the Altima’s trunk is spacious, and the rear seats fold with a 60:40 split. As mentioned, the most notable difference in the new Altima is the tidier centre console area. In all but the base model, this area houses a five-inch colour information screen. Equipped with NissanConnect with Mobile Apps, the Altima allows owners to stay digitally connected even while in the vehicle. Currently, apps include Online Search powered by Google, Facebook, and others, and more will be introduced as time goes on. Further improving ownership, NissanConnect Mobile Apps is not limited to one individual. Other drivers and passengers can set up their own app suite to customize their experience while they are in the Altima. All app profiles are unique to each user’s phone. If that wasn’t enough technology, every Altima offers an Advanced

powered Formula One car, and touring car racing, but a reputation for unreliability began to dry up Alfa’s appeal. By the late 1990s, Alfa was only a memory, fondly thought of by the Alfisti, but overlooked by most. With the rise of the crossover in sales importance, cars got bigger, heavier, taller. You could still get an Alfa Romeo in Europe, but here only the hardcore fans remain. But now it’s back, snatching bragging rights away from Porsche as the fastest four-door around the Nürburgring, and generally being a riot to drive. There are complaints to be made – no manual transmission in the North American market, even in sporting trims – but on the whole, the Giulia is

exactly what Alfa fans were hoping for. On the winding, hilly roads around Napa, I flicked the left-most columnmounted paddle-shifter (exactly like you get in a Lamborghini Huracan), dropped a gear or two, and let the turbos spool up. I’m not sure the Germans need to worry about Alfa Romeo suddenly stealing the sales charts, and I’m positive this car isn’t going to work for everyone. But as the Giulia shrinks around me and the road beckons onwards, it’s good to have Alfa Romeo back. We didn’t know we need them, but we do.
