Chlorine leak at NV plant sends 2 to hospital ANNA DIMOFF reporter@nsnews.com

A minor chlorine leak at the Canexus North Vancouver plant early Wednesday morning sent two employees to hospital and a third to on-site first-aid to be treated for respiratory issues.

Residents in the area first heard the chemical plant’s sirens going off around 6 a.m. when a mechanical failure led to a small leak in the loading area of the plant as workers were filling a tanker truck. Plant manager Rick Denton said that the leak was contained by the time emergency response crews arrived soon after. “There was no off-site impact and no danger to the public or surrounding communities,” said Denton. An investigation into the root cause of the incident is underway, according to Denton. “The plant continues to operate; however, rail car loading of chlorine in the system where the leak occurred has been stopped until such time as the cause and correction can

Candidates spar on business issues

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

They’re all pulling for West Vancouver’s businesses to succeed. How that ought to be done though is now in the hands of voters.

The final all-candidates meeting before Saturday’s West Vancouver council byelection was hosted by the West Vancouver Chamber of Commerce Wednesday and was focused largely on issues of importance to the business community. Among them: revitalization of Ambleside, residential development, parking and transportation issues. Many of the candidates linked the fate of West Vancouver

businesses with residential growth (or lack thereof). Andy Krawczyk suggested that creating more variety in the municipality’s housing stock would benefit all of its residents. “We are dropping in population. In particular, we’ve lost 1,300 out of a total of 43,000. It may not sound like much but what’s going on is our demographic has remained the same. We’re just getting older, me included. That’s not good for business,” Krawczyk said. “When we lose those businesses, we lose

taxpayers and when we lose taxpayers, you know what happens to our tax bill if we want to keep the same services.” David Ayriss also stressed the need for careful planning for growth and noted past developments that were at first controversial, ended up becoming treasured by locals. “Even though change is disruptive and nerve-wracking, it’s necessary and, if handled properly, I think it’s a good thing,” he said. “If we can get a little bit of growth and we can get some rejuvenation back into our municipality, we’ll get a healthier overall municipality and environment to live in.” Joanna Baxter also said development has to be part of West

West Vancouverites vote in byelection Saturday

From page 1

Vancouver’s future, but she said council needs to be very choosy about what they accept. “Every single business person that I’ve talked to in the Ambleside, Dundarave and Horseshoe Bay area has told me the same thing: ‘We need people,’” she said, adding later: “I am very specific about what I want from our developer and I think that council needs to be held accountable. They need to have a checklist that defines very clearly what our community needs.” Concentrating “mindful” development – including badly needed rental stock – in existing town centres will not only support local businesses, it will also help alleviate traffic by allowing people to do their shopping and dining out without the need for a car, Tara Haddad argued. “We need development in certain aspects in order for the cycle of the economy to survive. We need small business and we need them to survive,” Haddad said. Vernon Pahl, disagreed on development entirely. “I’m not a pro-development person. I think developers play a crucial role in our economy. They hire. There’s jobs. But they’re not philanthropists. They’re in a business with a view to a profit and right now, I think it’s time we put the brakes on development,” he said. As for supporting Ambleside, Pahl took more of an if-it-ain’t-broke tact.

Eleven would-be council members line up for an all-candidates meeting at the Kay Meek Centre Wednesday night. West Vancouver’s byelection runs Saturday. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH “Maybe I’m missing something but I think we’re doing that right now and I don’t think we need to develop any further stores.” Tom Dodd took a similar although more moderate approach when it came to fostering independent business in West Vancouver’s village centres. “If we do too much development in the merchant strip, prices are going to go up and instead of having small, local merchants, we will have the chains move in and the large retail stores,” he said, comparing it to Robson Street turning into a Rodeo Drive. “Since I don’t want a lot of development and to raise their rents and put towers there, I would be very much in favour of a lot more densification of ... two-level townhouses and row

houses in the areas adjacent to both the Ambleside and Dundarave business districts.” Peter Lambur said his top priority would be seeing that West Vancouver’s new official community plan is shaped with robust public input. “If done properly and built on a community-based vision for the future, it will meet the needs of our residents and businesses,” he said.

And development isn’t the panacea for struggling business some might hope, Lambur warned, referring to Edgemont Village in North Vancouver as a “cautionary tale of too much development destroying the essential character of the place.” Rosa Jafari suggested council should focus on bringing new currency to support local business. “We should increase the

revenue of our city by attracting some more tourists by having some architectural gems, such as theatres, restaurants, arts centres and a hotel,” she said, adding new investor immigrants should be directed to those projects. Council should also concentrate development that’s targeted for the middle class, Jafari added. David Jones said West Vancouver had become akin to a resort town and as such, needed to supply housing stock for its staff. “We have serious problems attracting employees to West Vancouver. We have many, many problems. Our young workers are getting farther and farther away from the North Shore, sometimes having to take several buses, spending more time getting to West Vancouver than working here,” he said. And as an Ambleside store owner, Jones said he’s lost more customers due to a lack of parking than anything else, something he’d push council to address. When it comes to parking, Carolanne Reynolds said it was one of the most pressing needs the business

community faces and suggested council leverage developers wanting to build in Ambleside to include more spots as community amenity contributions. As for revitalizing Ambleside, Reynolds said it would require bringing many community perspectives to the table. “I think it’s got a lot of potential. It needs a lot of work and it needs a lot of people to work together. We can all make it better, I’m sure,” she said. Reynolds also said the district ought to set up an economic development office and expedite the approval process for new building applications. Farzaneh Bamani had the same response to every question, which was that she would set up a website for West Vancouver residents to air their opinions that would then tilt her vote at council. “It’s for the people to define the problems and to come up with the decisions. I would be the delivery person and take the decisions to the council,” she said. One candidate, Jon Johnson, was a no-show for the meeting.

Right (of) way

he life of a 21-year-old Vancouver pedestrian was cut short following a collision on Lynn Valley Road last week. We don’t know exactly what happened that night and we might not ever know. But we are certain her death was preventable. ICBC and the RCMP often preach pedestrian safety this time of year, asking people on foot to make themselves more visible and make eye contact with drivers before stepping into a crosswalk. It’s not bad advice but we’d argue the burden of safety needs to be spread more widely, especially when you consider that pedestrians usually have right of way but are the ones most likely to be killed or injured. There is a growing movement dubbed Vision Zero in cities around the world to reduce the number of traffic fatalities and series injuries to zero through

enforcement, education and engineering of our streets, the last one being the most effective. Lowering our driving speed would not only prevent many collisions from happening, it would also make it more likely the victim will survive. Our older streetlamps cast less light than birthday candles. And it’s frankly stunning the number of streets in our community without sidewalks. It’s time for a shift in our culture’s way of thinking about streets. The City of North Vancouver has already passed a motion to explore becoming a Vision Zero city and the District of North Van will be looking into it as part of their larger transportation plan. When it comes to these safety initiatives, we encourage all three local governments to step on it. No one else should die for crossing the street.

Woodfibre LNG thumbs-up no real surprise

est Vancouver council voted unanimously against it. At least 9,000 people signed a petition damning it. Hostility toward it bristled at three public meetings. So, no surprise, the Woodfibre liquefied natural gas project on beautiful Howe Sound got the thumbs-up, ultimately from the only thumb that counts, the prime minister’s or his proxy’s. Right, the premier’s thumb also chimed in – why not mix metaphors, just for laughs? And the First Nation thumb will be on the scale, once its benefits are successfully negotiated. Obvious. After the obligatory ritualistic bow to the environment, the human race’s relentless expansionism, the project’s corporate dollars, jobs and politics will

This Just In Trevor Lautens always trump nature. (Hmmm, I’ll look for a better verb than trump.) So the public consultation was the usual charade. I’d wager my record as a trained skeptic that the decision to go ahead with the relatively small $1.6-billion project was a fait accompli at the highest levels – the only impediments being the long-depressed

price of LNG and international competition. As Constant Reader will recall, my conscience is troubled by this area’s bland acceptance of tankers, pipelines and so forth – elsewhere. Not in our million-dollar-andup backyards. All credit to Liberal MLA Jordan Sturdy – this is his riding, West Vancouver-Sea to Sky – for up-front honesty. While opponents raged, Sturdy supported the project, partly for its tax benefits. A yawning contrast with the area’s MP, the federal riding confusedly called (couldn’t a less overlapping name have been chosen?) West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country. I’ve been on the Pam Goldsmith-Jones watch for years, and once again I’m fascinated by, even admire, her non-stick political record as West Van mayor, her survival

smarts, and her agile ascent to higher levels. I’d roll out that record again, but space is limited. Teflon Pam repeatedly ignored my emails last spring soliciting her opinion on Woodfibre, yea or nay; adroitly chaired three heated open houses on the matter without doing so; and, cornered at a meeting at Gibsons whether she’d heard anybody favouring the project, responded: “There are definitely people in favour. That’s why this is so difficult. To be honest – and depending on where you go – it’s 50/50.” Which raises the question: Where, exactly, had she gone? Indefatigable Woodfibre opponent Eoin Finn stated that her 50/50 claim “beggars belief,” citing 9,000 signatories to the (Save) Howe Sound Declaration and the B.C. Environment Assessment

Office process, reflecting more than 90 per cent opposition. Finn noted that the approval coincidentally occurred days before the provincial Liberal annual convention. Tsk tsk, what a cynic. Finn declares opponents of the project aren’t giving up. !!!

The Old Frenchman, so often quoted here, mused: “Les extremes se touchent,” which my learned readers will easily translate as “the extremes touch” – more broadly, “the extremes resemble one another.” Hitler and Stalin claimed radically clashing ideologies. But they were tyrants united by mass murder. On a fortunately milder matter, Donald Trump and his sore-loser detractors similarly share a bond: They’re

How excited are you for the ski season? Mountains on the North Shore received their first dusting of snow this week, with a few centimetres piling up on Tuesday afternoon. That may not be enough yet to compel local ski area operators to turn the lifts on early, but it’s a nice teaser for those eager for the winter season to arrive. Based on the long-range forecast, there’s reason for skiers and snowboarders to be encouraged. The Old Farmers’ Almanac is predicting snowy days for southern B.C. in December and mid-January.

Reﬂecting on a political anniversary Eleanore Nuttall North Vancouver

“I may take the grandboys up skiing. We bought passes for the boys to go up.”

Jim Salusbury Whistler

“I’m very excited. It’s about time … I ski a lot.”

Family anniversaries have always, for me, been a time to reflect. So I suppose I should not have been surprised that my first anniversary in political office also turned out also to be an occasion for reflection and a taking of inventory. What is most remarkable about the fact it has now been just over a year since I was elected as Member of Parliament for North Vancouver, is how different our country feels.

Garbage picker deserves a nod Dear Editor: Here is a story seen by many through far away eyes. However, I share with you as seen from the human side. Many of us, including myself, drive down Hastings Street in Burnaby each morning making our way onto the No. 1 highway heading west towards North Vancouver and beyond. Reaching for my morning fix of caffeine I glance over to see a short semi-bearded man dressed in beige pants, a winter jacket and reflective vest. In his right hand is a mechanical grabber for picking up paper and other items left

behind on the on-ramp of the highway by some unconscientious driver. In his left hand is a used coffee cup relating to a sign usually found on the front of his chest and in some cases, in his right hand when he leans his “grabber” against the onramp concrete wall. The sign printed in a black marker reads: Retired. Please Help. God Bless. Yes, I know. There are many panhandlers out there, but what makes this person unique among the many others is that he really cares that the area he panhandles is clean and presentable to the

people who see him. It is so important to him that before he begins his day standing out there on the on-ramp, asking for financial help, he gets up early enough to pick up all the garbage left on that ramp the night before so as it is spotless before he begins. I have also seen him pulling all the weeds that grow between the cracks in the concrete in the same area because the wild weeds make his spot look rundown and unattractive. I just though he deserved a mention. Robert Butt Burnaby

Get out and vote in WV Saturday From page 8 the cosy Washington china shop – D.C. voted 90 per cent for Clinton, four per cent for the vulgarian – which Trump is. Or was? In a trice, knives sheathed, Trump made statesmanlike noises, and Barack Obama and, briefly, Clinton rose graciously to the moment. They’re politicians.

Actors, you know. It’s a gamble writing about this shifting surrealism. All could change by the time you read these words. As for the overwhelming media bias for Clinton, it recalls the apocryphal son who was ashamed to tell his mother he was working in the news business. So he told her he played piano in a house of ill repute.

!!! I can’t and wouldn’t want to recommend a candidate for councillor on the eve of West Vancouver’s very important byelection tomorrow – when there’s no time for rebuttal. Just get out and vote. rtlautens@gmail.com

I get the sense that there are now other concerns at the forefront of our national consciousness. I’d like to think that’s because there is now a feeling of quiet assurance that Canada is back and on a forward path guided by values we recognize as having built our country. One of the reasons this year has passed by so quickly is how busy it has been. Starting in November of 2015, the new government commenced work on what is a very ambitious agenda – and, while we have only begun, signiﬁcant progress has been accomplished with several key elements of this agenda.

When climbing a mountain… With so much still to do, a first anniversary is not a time for selfcongratulation. But, when you’re climbing a mountain, pausing on occasion to turn around to see how far you’ve climbed provides the energy and resolve to keep climbing. On our first anniversary, as I look back, some of the more significant actions of the government include: ➤ Introducing a budget that

focused signiﬁcantly on making major infrastructure investments in areas such as public transit, roads bridges, clean water and affordable housing - that will assist us in growing our economy going forward

➤ A tax cut to strengthen the

middle class that will beneﬁt 9 out of 10 Canadian families

➤ Instituting the Canada Child

Beneﬁt – which will lift 300,000 Canadian children out of poverty

➤ Initiating an inquiry into missing

and murdered aboriginal women

➤ Working to successfully relocate

and integrate over 30,000 Syrian refuges

➤ Commencing and undertaking

signiﬁcant work on the development of an Innovation Agenda for Canada that will provide a blueprint for growing the Canadian economy as we transition towards a lower carbon economy

➤ Re-investing in the scientiﬁc

capability of key federal departments such as the Dept of Environment and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and revoking rules and regulations that muzzled government scientists

➤ Strengthening the Canada

Pension Plan by reaching an historic agreement with provinces and territories that will ensure that Canadians retire with more sustainable incomes

➤ Raising the Guaranteed Income

Supplement top up beneﬁt for single seniors – which will help 900,000 seniors and lift 13,000 out of poverty

➤ Ensuring safe and consistent

access to medical assistance in dying in Canada, and

➤ Ratifying the Paris Agreement

on Climate Change and commencing the development of a Pan-Canadian framework for addressing greenhouse gas emissions

The year ahead Our second year will be more challenging than the first - presenting both formidable challenges and opportunities. Some of the most significant of these will relate to the government’s commitment to ensure that environmental sustainability and economic progress go hand in hand. We were elected to make decisions on profoundly complex issues. Not everyone will be happy. But Canadians can be certain this government will hold true to the fundamental commitment made when we were elected - that first and foremost our decisions will be based on evidence, on facts and on a clearheaded determination as to the best interests of this extraordinary country that is our home.

PUBLIC NOTICE

Proposed Expansion SPONSORED CONTENT

Green Marine, a Commitment to Continuous Improvement

At Trans Mountain we take our commitment to environmental protection seriously. When speaking with stakeholders about the Expansion Project, we heard their desire for the Burrard Inlet to rebound from a century of industrial development. We’ve also heard concerns from residents in the region about increasing development in the Port of Vancouver.

Spill Prevention and Community Impacts and we increased to a Level 4 in the Environmental Leadership category. This increase was due in part to the implementation of a formal environmental management system (Environmental Protection Program), which includes restrictions on nighttime operations, light pollution minimization measures and waste management procedures. In May 2015, we also installed a new ambient noise and air emissions monitoring station that continuously monitors noise, select emissions (such as volatile organic info@transmountain.com

And, in the event more vessels develop the capability for shore power, space will be provided for future installation of shore power facilities. As a member of Green Marine, we must undertake annual self-assessments of our performance at Westridge Marine Terminal and undergo an audit by a Green Marine accredited verifier every two years. The verification results are published annually as part of the Green Marine annual innovation conference and online on Green Marine’s website. Learn more at green-marine.org. @TransMtn

Emergency crews wait outside the Canexus chemical plant in North Vancouver. A small chlorine spill triggered frightening alarms Tuesday morning. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD

Area residents irked by lack of information From page 1 be successfully completed,” Denton said on Wednesday. The plant produces chloralkali, a compound used to create caustic soda, hydrochloric acid, and bleach. The three affected Canexus employees are expected to make a full recovery. WorkSafeBC is now in charge of investigating the workplace injuries and assessing whether safety regulations were being followed at the time of the leak. The North Shore Emergency Management Office was notified and put on standby, said director Dorit Mason, but no further action was taken as the incident was contained. The alarms, however, triggered anxiety among residents in earshot who had no way of knowing whether the incident was putting them in harm’s way. Rob Stokes said the horns scared him to the point he

contemplated evacuating his family to higher ground. After the alarms abated, he spent much of the day contacting the company, the district and Port Metro Vancouver looking for an explanation. “It was very, very frustrating,” he said. In partnership with the Emergency Management Office, Canexus funds a rapid notification system that in an emergency sends out a mass message with safety instructions to landlines listed in the white pages. But the company has discretion over when it’s going to be used. That’s something the District of North Vancouver is planning to take up with the company. “We’re going to have a discussion with Canexus,” said David Stuart, chief administrative officer. “If they’ve got a localized incident that they can manage and contain and it doesn’t affect the community, maybe the alarm system needs to be different – something that would notify their employees on site rather than

distress the community.” Alternatively, if they must use the siren, the company ought to use the rapid notification system to let community members know whether or not they’re in any danger, Stuart added. Anyone can sign up for the rapid notifications to be delivered to their landline, cellphone or email at nsemo. org/rapid-notify-sign-up. Spills at the site are rare, Stuart added. “If it’s really minor, we may or may not be notified. I can tell you it’s very, very infrequent – even the localized ones,” he said. Over the long term, Canexus is changing its business model so there will be much less chemical stored at the site, added Mayor Richard Walton. “They’ve been very good corporate citizens over the years. We’ve worked pretty closely with them. They’ve come to us with any changes over the years,” he said. – with files from Brent Richter

Peter Lambur is the only candidate with a professional background as an Architect and Urban Planner running for Council. His work has included new town master plans, transit-oriented development and urban revitalization projects. He is the recipient of the Governor General’s award for architectural excellence for urban design. At a time when our community is being pressured to accommodate increased density and accelerated growth, Peter would bring to Council the skills and judgment needed to inform critical decisions about growth and development, and preserve the quality of life in our community. Priorities: • A renewed Official Community Plan built on a community-based vision for the future; • Sensible, citizen-supported development (where rezoning is the exception, not the rule); • A made-in-West Van transportation and traffic management plan. A vote for Peter is a vote for better community engagement in our new Official Community Plan process: one that involves citizens as equal partners in decision-making that puts ‘Neighbourhoods First!’ www.peterlambur.com peter.lambur@gmail.com www.facebook.com/plambur (604) 925-3028 Authorized by Peter Lambur financial agent, peter.lambur@gmail.com

BRIGHTLIGHTS! by Paul McGrath FANS Tribute to the Arts The 2016 FANS (Fund for the Arts on the North Shore) Tribute to the Arts took place at two venues on Nov. 4 in North Vancouver, with the evening starting with a cocktail reception at GAP (Griffin Art Projects) Gallery before moving onto Vanleena Dance Studio for presentation of FANS awards. Hosted by local comedian and playwright Gary Jones, six local artists were presented with the Don S. Williams Grant to help them develop their artistic careers and develop their talents. These were followed by the presentation of the FANS Distinguished Artists Awards to cartoonist Lynn Johnston, well known for her long-running comic strip, For Better or Worse, and to dance choreographer Jennifer Mascall, who has created more than 200 choreographies and continues to mentor and teach. Dancer Molly McDermott performed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Graftâ&#x20AC;? at the Vanleena studio for the assembled guests, who then returned to GAP for an artists reception.

Precious stones

! Eastside Culture Crawl: A four-day visual arts, design and crafts festival featuring more than 475 artists in their studios across 78 buildings in an area bounded by Columbia St., First Ave., Victoria Drive and the waterfront (culturecrawl.ca). ANNA DIMOFF reporter@nsnews.com

Bayoush Mengesha sees art in everything.

“I could take a visual cue from a piece of fabric or a pattern from a fabric and make something out of that, so it’s really from whatever captivates my senses.” In her new studio on Odlum Drive, in the culture-rich Strathcona neighbourhood, she’s crafting art for the conscious consumer and getting ready to open her space to the public for

the 20th annual Eastside Culture Crawl. The North Vancouver artist draws her inspiration from esthetics of the 17 different countries she has travelled to including Bali, Guatemala, Colombia and Ethiopia. Through her self-founded art collective, Devi Arts, Mengesha has connected her love of travel with her passion for ethically sourced materials by meeting with artisans from around the world. “I started making jewelry quite a while ago and I didn’t really know where my materials came from. I realized I had the opportunity to put my values and my ideals into my pieces as well,” she says. “My parents have always made me aware of some of the struggles other people go through in different parts of the world and how the impacts of consumption. … affect other people.”

Originally from Ethiopia, her parents fled during the civil war and landed in Swaziland, Africa where she was born. Removed from their extended family, her parents named her Bayoush, meaning “if only they can see you” in Amharic the Ethiopian national language, as an homage to relatives still living in their home country. Her name’s meaning is reflected in the jewelry she creates with eye catching stones like amazonite and rainbow fluorite that shine in a “special but functional” way. The majority of the stones she uses in her pieces are ethically cut, meaning that they are mined and processed in safe working conditions and involve no child labour. Mengesha travelled to India in 2014 and met the family that

Brasstronaut aims to grow old gracefully Sense of fun permeates the latest tunes from band

! Brasstronaut performs at Fortune Sound Club on Friday, Nov. 25. Doors 7 p.m. Tickets $12 at bplive.ca. ALEX HUDSON Contributing writer

“Things have been pretty difficult, being in a band,” muses Brasstronaut frontman Edo Van Breeman, reached over Skype from his Vancouver home. “When you get older, it’s harder to be in a band. You have more responsibilities and you don’t look at it the same way as you did before.” The singer/keyboardist is reflecting on the local group’s lack of careerist ambitions in relation to its third album, simply titled Brasstronaut, which was released Nov. 11. This marks a change from the rollout of the sextet’s prior release, 2012’s Mean Sun. “We were treating it more like a job,” Van Breeman recalls of that time. “Things happened and it was good, but I think we kind of got past that and realized that the only reason we’re doing this is to have fun and write songs.” The combo’s approach to business isn’t the only thing that’s changed. While Brasstronaut’s past efforts

Brasstronaut performs at the Fortune Sound Club on Friday, Nov. 25. were marked by piano jams and moody synth ambience, the forthcoming album contains upbeat forays into pop and dance-rock, with an added sense of fun. The most immediately ear-grabbing track is the single “Raveshadow,” in which swirling horns and

hypnotic hooks are tied together by a swaggering groove. Elsewhere, the dreamy syncopations of “Tricky” are infused with humour, thanks to lyrical references to “Buzzfeed quizzes” and “twerking,” while “Sooner or Later” cheekily name-checks a laundry

list of recent pop hits, including “Blurred Lines,” “Wrecking Ball” and “Black Space.” Album centre piece “Whitney” is a cinematic instrumental composition that’s flecked with ascendant trumpet and nimble fretboard exploration. “There wasn’t much of

a plan for the sound (of the album),” Van Breeman acknowledges. “We just thought it would be fun if we did one song that sounds like this, maybe another one that sounds like a house song, another one that sounds like a super-proggy thing.”

Part of the reason for the album’s stylistic diversity is that all six members were given a say in the songwriting process, their individual influences allowed to shine in an approach that Van Breeman describes as

Accordion key to a sense of well-being Jelena Milojevic has quite a story to tell with her instrument

! Friday Night Concert – Jelena Milojevic, West Vancouver Memorial Library, Friday, Nov. 18, 7:30 p.m. Free admission. JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

This is a story about accordion music – no, don’t stop reading yet. In the former Yugoslavia, far from the oom-pah-pah of polka, a little girl chose her instrument: the harp. No, she was told, we don’t have a harp. In that case, nine-year old Jelena Milojevic decided she would play piano. “They told me, ‘Oh, you’re too old to play piano,’” she recalls. Undaunted at being overthe-hill, she considered the violin. Why not? After all, her friends played the violin – dragging the bow across the strings and producing a squeak like an American bobtail with an impacted molar. No, not the violin, she decided. “I didn’t have another option,” she says with a laugh. “That’s how accordion chose me.” It can feel a little like fate when musicians find their instrument. Jimi Hendrix’s father is said to have acquired his son’s first guitar during a poker game. There are tales of bandleader Benny Goodman being assigned the clarinet because he couldn’t carry a tuba. Seeing Milojevic wield her accordion, moving and swaying with it like a dance partner, that same streak of fate seems

Jelena Milojevic performs a free concert at the West Vancouver Memorial Library tonight. to be at work. Her performances are all the more remarkable when you consider how starkly the odds were stacked against her at the start. She didn’t have perfect pitch – and more crucially, she didn’t have an accordion. “I was still the best student in that school because I was sight-reading like crazy,” she reports. On the website MusicForAccordion.com, which unironically bills itself as “the largest accordion resource on the web,” the instrument’s invention is traced to China’s legendary Yellow Emperor Huangdi. China’s mythical ruler tasked one of his scholars with the task of reproducing

the song of the phoenix bird. The scholar returned with a sheng, the first known instrument to use the vibrating reed principle. Nearly 5,000 years passed before the accordion was finally realized in 1822. Like the world, Milojevic had to wait for her instrument. As she waited, Yugoslavia was descending into warfare. Her grandparents’ house wasn’t worth much at the time (“peanuts,” is how Milojevic puts it) but the home was still worth something, and her grandparents decided to sell it to buy their granddaughter an accordion. “They were my angels from the start to the end,” Milojevic says of her grandparents. “I’m

grateful to them till death.” As civilians clashed with the military and borders were drawn, music offered solace and escape. “There were lots of families that lost somebody in the war, there were lots of families that split throughout the war, there were lots of mixed marriages – my parents were one of them,” she explains. “In the hard surroundings during the war and after the war when there’s poverty all around – you really have to show that you are one of the best … to actually break through and create some kind of a name and have some future.” There were times when she felt like the chaos didn’t touch her, but there were other times when Yugoslavia’s

dissolution and Milosevic’s own drive to succeed intertwined. “I had some nights when I would cry with music, cry my eyes out,” she says. “All of that helped me to become a more mature person and very deep inside emotionally so that I could express some pieces that are extremely hard to be understood and expressed.” As much as she may owe a musical debt to her homeland, there came a point when Milosevic knew it wasn’t the right place for her anymore. “I was a girl from Croatia that married a Serbian guy,” she says simply. After having their first child, the couple opened a map of the world and tried to imagine a

new life in a new place. A disagreement on temperature led them to rule out Australia, and if they were to move to Europe they worried they would always feel like foreigners. “So we were thinking, ‘OK, maybe a country where everyone is a foreigner.’” They now live in Victoria, where Milosevic is an instructor at the Victoria Conservatory of Music. The place feels like home, she reports. She still has family in Croatia, including those grandparents who bought her that first, all-important accordion. She still keeps in touch, she says. “They’re listening to my CDs all the time,” she says.

Are you a YoYo Investor or an Escalator Investor? Many investors dart in and out of the market. They try to be in the market only when it is rising, and out of the market when it is going down. This is a fool’s game. Mr. MARKET steps on to an escalator with a yoyo. The escalator represents the long-term growth of the stock market – roughly 6.6% per annum plus the rate of inflation. The movement of the yoyo represents the short-term fluctuation of stock prices. The darting yoyo investor is focused on the yoyo - trying to predict where it will go in the short-term. The investor who instead focuses on the escalator ends up ahead – another example of the tortoise winning the race. Come join us on the escalator.

REVIEW: BLEED FOR THIS

Miles Teller pulls no punches in ring tale ! Bleed For This. Directed by Ben Younger. Starring Miles Teller. Rating: 7 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD Contributing writer

Miles Teller knows what it’s like to take a beating, having followed up his career-making performance in Whiplash with the ill-conceived and universally panned Fantastic Four remake.

But bad reviews in the press are nothing compared to what Teller endures in Bleed For This, the true story of prize-winning fighter Vinny Pazienza, who came back after a near-fatal car crash and a broken neck to live another day in the boxing ring. The first half of the film shows Pazienza – “The Pazmanian Devil” – at his cocky best, loud and living a life of excess in and out of the ring after two world title fights. The revolving door of girls and excessive gambling are only mildly tempered by

the struggle to stay within his 140-pound-and-under weight class. Vinny could duck and weave with the best of them, but the one hit he didn’t see coming was a collision with a car that crossed the centre line and hit him head-on. Doctors offer to fuse his spine: surgery that would guarantee he walks again, but also means he’ll never fight again. “One bump, one fall and your spinal cord could sever,” doctors caution. Vinny refuses. It’s a long and painful recovery involving six months in a cage-like halo brace. And if the brutal fight scenes aren’t enough to make you squirm, the scenes of bloody screws being thumbed into Vinny’s skull surely will. Yet Vinny soldiers on with the help of his colourful Rhode Island family: supportive dad (Ciaran Hinds) and mom Louise (Katey Sagal), who can’t bring herself to watch her son’s fights and is never off of her knees praying. Nearly unrecognizable

is Aaron Eckhart as Kevin Rooney, Vinny’s beer-bellied, balding coach. The role is worlds away from the buttoned-up characters Eckhart usually plays but he is superb as the man who pleads, cajoles and sometimes bullies Vinny back to fighting form. David O. Russell’s The Fighter similarly explored the blue-collar family dynamics of a boxer, and there are moments here when it feels like filmmakers went a little heavy on the set décor and the Aqua Net hairspray. The film best succeeds when it focuses on the relationship between Vinny and Kevin; we know the familiar boxing-film story arc of rock-bottom to redemption in the ring, so the performances between the lead actors is key. Vinny straddled – and won – in three different weight categories, so Teller had to slim down and beef up accordingly. His commitment to the role is evident, and Teller pulls no punches,

Boxing flick a comeback of sorts for director From page 32 fighting just as vigorously as he took to drumming in Whiplash. Oscar talk for Teller may be premature; Eckhart turns

in a stronger performance. Bleed For This is a comeback of sorts for director Ben Younger, too, who was the talk of Hollywood after winning a spate of awards for his first feature,

Boiler Room, but who hasn’t had a film since 2005’s Prime. There’s enough energy and dashes of innovation amidst a tired trope here to nudge him back into the spotlight.

FRENCH POLYNESIA: MO’OREA

Ancient Tahiti comes to life in Opunohu Valley

JOHN MASTERS Meridian Writers’Group

MO‘OREA, French Polynesia – The stone ruins of French Polynesia aren’t as impressive as those at Maya sites like Tikal or Palenque in Central America, but both share a sturdy construction, are often deep in the jungle, and exude mystery.

“A place of dread and great silence was the marae,” wrote Teuira Henry in Ancient Tahiti, a history published in 1928. The marae, a stone platform, was where the gods communicated with the Polynesians and political, social and religious decisions were made. The marae was tapu – sacrosanct. To violate it was to call down the gods’ wrath. On Mo‘orea, 10 minutes from Tahiti by plane (30-45 minutes by ferry), the largest collection of maraes is in the Opunohu Valley. More than 550 structures have been uncovered, including more than 100 maraes. A paved, five-kilometre road leads up the valley from Opunohu Bay. About four kilometres along is a small parking lot on your left. In the forest next to it, overgrown by mape (Tahitian chestnut) trees and crowded by the waxy leaves of the Miconia shrub is the biggest of the valley’s maraes, Titiroa (or Ti‘i-rua), 36 metres long.

The marae Ahu O Mahine in Mo‘orea’s Opunohu Valley still has a largely intact altar at one end, as well as the three small standing stones where the chiefs and priests sat. This marae was dedicated to ‘Oro, a god of fertility and war. His worship required human sacrifices. PHOTO SUPPLIED JOHN MASTERS/MERIDIAN WRITERS’ GROUP Before Europeans came to Polynesia in numbers in the 19th century the Opunohu Valley was home to a substantial population, but Western diseases and missionaries emptied the land and its maraes, letting the jungle, and silence, take over.

Park your car, kill the engine and allow the stillness to settle. Walk into the woods and around the Titiroa marae. The remains of the altar are at one end; towards the centre of the platform are small standing stones where the chiefs and priests sat. There are paths through the

trees left and right from Titiroa. Hike uphill and you’ll come to another marae, Afareaito, and beyond it two shooting platforms. Here, nobles knelt to compete in archery games, firing arrows through a cleared corridor in the forest, trying to shoot further than 240 metres. Spotters

stationed in the trees signaled as the arrow passed by. Go downhill from Titiroa and you’ll arrive at Ahu O Mahine, most imposing of the valley’s maraes. Stacked rows of round stones form its base. A plaque explains that this marae was dedicated to ‘Oro, a god of fertility and war whose worship, says the sign, “requires human sacrifice offerings.” You’re likely to have these sites to yourself – you, some chickens and roosters, and probably mosquitoes. Your fellow travellers are at the beach. It is, after all, the clear, warm waters and white sandy shores that bring most people to French Polynesia. Another of its islands, Bora Bora, was thought the most beautiful in the world by author James Michener, of South Pacific fame. Travel guide writer Arthur Frommer felt the title ought to go to Mo‘orea. Drive another kilometre up the Opunohu Bay road and see for yourself how he reached his conclusion. The road ends at a lookout, the Belvédère. Dominating the view is the dark-green hulk of Mount Rotui, its saw-toothed ridges separating sparkling Cook’s and Opunohu bays. “Nothing compares,” wrote Frommer.

Science trumps tradition in skin care line Company forages mushrooms and clay from B.C.’s natural environment for ingredients ANNA DIMOFF reporter@nsnews.com

A new approach to skin care is being crafted on the North Shore, and their list of ingredients is surprisingly short.

Nayelle probiotic skincare calls their formula “nature’s best kept secret” because the line of products features no fillers or harmful chemicals, everything is naturally, and locally, produced. Dermatologist tested and approved for all skin types, this anti-aging line of moisturizing and cleansing skin products is hoping to change the way people treat their skin. Biochemist Peter Jurkemik began his search for nature’s most nourishing elements after his wife, who was selling other beauty products, continually encouraged him to try the creams and tonics. “I read the labels and I said why should I put this on my skin,” said Jurkemik, who was astonished by the chemicals included. “Chemicals that are used in engine coolants and fertilizers, believe it or not,” he added. The research started with an extensive look into the history of natural beauty products used in cultures around the world. Jurkemik peered into ancient Chinese regimes and

several claims from different cultures that professed impressive rejuvenating qualities from mushrooms, fermented milk, sea kelp and clay. The beauty regimen of the woman considered most beautiful in Chinese history, Concubine Yang Guifei, included snow mushrooms that she used to maintain her youthful skin, according to Jurkemik. “All those claims actually do have some grounds, so we said OK, now we know that we do have good ingredients and they will provide you the with full nourishment for your cells,” he said. In order for their formula to work, he had to figure out how to turn these starting ingredients into a form that skin cells could easily absorb. “The probiotic technology is the same way you produce yogurt, kimchi or sauerkraut. Basically, microbes will feed on the sugar in the ingredients, they then break down the larger molecules into small ones, concentrating and making them more bio-available,” said Jurkemik. “During this process of probiotic action, they’re creating a full spectrum of vitamins, antioxidants and other bioavailable compounds that are not actually present in the ingredients that we’re starting with.”

Tanya Moss, president of the company, says that just like the digestive system, the skin functions better when it is fed probiotics. In her experience, she had found nothing that would ease the irritation of the eczema on her fingers until she tried Jurkemik’s formula. “Because of the organic ingredients, people with rosacea, acne, and eczema are noticing improvements,” said Moss. The ingredients are sourced from around B.C. with snow mushrooms from Nanaimo, clay from the Bella Coola region, and kefir from a local business in Chilliwack. The sea kelp is manufactured in the United States but harvested from Canadian waters, according to Jurkemik. The process of creating all of these active ingredients from scratch takes more time and is the biggest challenge in producing Nayelle’s cosmetics, but Jurkemik believes it’s well worth it. Moss is seeing the conscience of consumers changing and notices that more attention is paid to not only the ingredients in beauty products but also the ethics behind how they’re made, which is the reason why their products are 100 per cent cruelty free as well as organic. The team is excited to have their website up and running in Canada as of Oct. 24 and hope to help consumers nourish their skin right down to the cells with the proper ingredients.

“Creating safe communities means protecting the environment and the people.” – Dion Arnouse, Emergency Management Consultant, Kinder Morgan Canada

Trans Mountain’s emergency management team has connected with over 100 Aboriginal communities along the BC-Alberta pipeline route. We assess each community’s capacity to respond to a civil emergency, then provide support to upgrade emergency response skills accordingly. The primary objective is to ensure an organized response to a spill. However, as the chances of a spill are low, local residents who are trained well with a safety mindset are equally prepared to respond to a more likely natural event, such as a fire, flood or ice storm. Putting safety first is our number one priority.

•

There is a constant focus on community safety, emergency preparedness and environmental protection.

•

Emergency preparedness training benefits include skills in dealing with all hazards, including fires, floods and extreme storms.

•

To date, 40 Aboriginal communities located along the pipeline and marine corridor in British Columbia and Alberta have signed Mutual Beneﬁt Agreements.

•

For both Trans Mountain and Aboriginal training, we conduct exercises and drills year-round in all seasons and conditions – on land, water, even on ice – throughout the entire system.

•

We have connected with more than 100 Aboriginal communities along the entire pipeline route.

•

There are 15 equipment caches along the pipeline and over $3 million will be invested in new emergency response equipment.

Brasstronaut again working with Angel Records in the U.K. From page 14 “egalitarian.” He and his bandmates – horn players Sam Davidson and Bryan Davies, guitarist Tariq Hussain, drummer Brennan Saul and bassist John Walsh – recorded bed tracks in Vancouver, while the frontman then added overdubs and mixed the results at his apartment in Brooklyn, where he was living at the time. Meanwhile, the musicians kept busy with an array of other gigs – Van Breeman has scored several movies, while Walsh plays in Dan Mangan’s backing band, to name just two of the members’ side projects – and the album remained in limbo for many months. “We had a FACTOR grant, and then we had to give

If it doesn’t come from our hearts, then it’s not going to happen.” But even though Van Breeman doesn’t aspire to fame, he says he’ll continue to play with Brasstronaut “for the rest of my life,” primarily to preserve the friendships. “I want to be an old band that plays Gulf Island festivals and sits there in the middle of the afternoon with a bunch of kids running around on the grass,” he says with a smile. “And if some weird thing happens in the meantime and we can play overseas or wherever, then that’s pretty cool.” – Alex Hudson writes for our sister paper the Westender

some money back because we took so long to finish it,” Van Breeman admits with a chuckle. Despite this unhurried approach to recording, the band are finally beginning to pick up momentum. They inked a deal with Hybridity Music in Canada and are once again working with Tin Angel Records in the U.K. To Van Breeman’s apparent surprise, the group have been offered a cushy gig opening for Stornoway on a British tour in the new year. Despite these breakthroughs, don’t expect the outfit to pursue commercial success anytime soon. “It’s weird when we get an email from management saying, ‘Oh, it will be really good for your career if you do this tour,’” the singer reflects. “What’s the career?

REMEMBRANCES Obituaries MATTHEWS, Mary November 16, 1930 − December 29, 2015

From Mary’s own words: She always wanted to make the world a better place for her time here. In her early thirties, she realized how disruptive moving premises was for social activists and their support groups. So, with planning and thriftiness, she managed to accumulate enough money to enable the Vancouver Status of Women to make a healthy down payment on a store front space in a building on East Hastings Street and shortly thereafter to make another down payment on a large house for two former nuns, one of whom was given the Remarkable Woman Award by the City of Vancouver in 2011 and the Queen’s Jubilee medal in 2012. Mary was also a volunteer driver for cancer patients for seventeen years. She was also the prime mover in the struggle to save the forested land behind her house from development. During her lifetime she broke ground for women in the automotive world as a service writer. She died content that in some small way her mission was completed. A Celebration of Life will be held on Wednesday, November the 23rd in North Vancouver. If you knew Mary and wish to attend, please call Cameron at 250−339−0739 for details.

PETER, Christine Born November 24, 1933 and went to be with the Lord on November 10, 2016. After an almost yearlong illness, she died peacefully in the presence of her family and caregivers in the comfort of her home. She will be deeply missed by her husband of 59 years, Fred; daughter Andrea (Wayne); sons Jan (Beth) and Martin (Laura); as well as grandsons Colton, Tyler and Conner. Christine had a deep faith and zest for life that sustained her throughout her final year. Many thanks to her friends and the church community for the love and support, with special thanks to Dr. Annette McCall, Sheila, Erlinda and Grace. Flowers gratefully declined - please consider a donation to the charity or cause of your choice, or simply extend an act of kindness to someone today. A Thanksgiving for Christine’s life will be held in the West Vancouver Baptist Church on Friday, November 25th at 1:00 pm.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ray St. Pierre, age 90, at Evergreen House in North Vancouver, after a long and difficult battle with cancer. Born in Munson, Alberta in 1926, the fifth of eleven children of the late Leon and Adele (Chausse) St.Pierre, Ray was known for his warm smile, caring heart, wonderful sense of humour, high level of integrity, strong work ethic, and positive, appreciative outlook. He was a devoted and loving husband and family man. Ray had a career spanning over 43 years with CN Rail, starting at age sixteen when he loaded freight cars in Camrose, Alberta, and retiring in 1986 in Moncton as Regional Manager Employee Relations for Atlantic Canada. During his working years, he lived in Edmonton and numerous places in Alberta, as well as Winnipeg and Montreal. Upon retirement, Ray moved to Penticton, BC, where he lived from 1986-2014, before relocating to North Vancouver. Ray was pre-deceased by his first wife of 24 years, Antoinette Beland, in Oct. 1971, and by siblings Eleanor (John) Botsford, Francis (Marilyn), Corinne (Joe) Noonan, Ed (Maureen), and Jerome (Miriam). He is survived by his loving second wife, Clare (Sykes/nee Coffin); it is noteworthy that Ray passed away on their 44th wedding anniversary. Ray is also survived by siblings Leon (Alberta), Vince (Leila), Paul, Jeannine (Jack) Huff, and Camille (John) Boos; his children Lorraine (Ken) Crump and Morris; his step-children Bobby (Chris) Sykes, Linda (Peter) Torbet, Don (Sharma) Sykes, Ted (Elizabeth) Sykes, Richard (Pam) Sykes, and Kathy (Kelly) Detheridge; twenty grandchildren; eighteen great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.

MORESIDE, Gwyneth C. October 19, 1927 − October 21, 2016

Gwyneth Claire Moreside, born October 19th, 1927 in Montreal, Quebec, passed away peacefully surrounded by family members on October 21st, 2016 in Victoria, British Columbia. Daughter to Clive and Eunice Sproule, Gwyneth grew up with her sisters, Shirley and Arlene Sproule. Gwyneth leaves behind her loving and devoted husband of 65 years, John Lester Moreside, their four children, Heather, Pam, Lesley, and Gordon, as well as five grandchildren, Jeff, Lena, Elias, Emmett, Sebastian, and a great grandchild, Tucker. Gwyneth was a wonderful and giving mother with enthusiasm for life and adventure. She loved people and had an amazing zest for life, with a smile and laugh that were infectious. She spent many wonderful years in retirement with her husband and family members in the Shuswap Lake. Her final years were spent with her husband by her side and in the wonderful care of the staff at the Kiwanis Pavilion on Cedar Hill in Victoria, as she battled dementia −− in true Gwyneth Moreside style, defying the odds and refusing to give in. She loved and was loved and will be missed and fondly remembered. Special thanks to the entire Kiwanis team and to Della Coyle who provided companionship and care to Gwyneth and peace of mind for family members. Celebration of Life to be held Sunday, February 12th, 2017 in Victoria, BC. Location TBD.

ST. PIERRE, Raymond C. May 30, 1926 - November 3, 2016

STEWART, Mary Corrinne (Babs) October 26, 1930 - November 1, 2016 It is with great sadness that we announce Mary (Babs) Stewart passed away at the age of 86, surrounded by family. Lovingly remembered by husband Morgan, children Brock, Corinne, Todd (Val) and grandchildren Dominique, Colette, Sebastian, Tristan, Lachlan and Kingston along with many nieces, nephews and friends. Babs was predeceased by her siblings Harry, Dorothy, Irene, David and John. Family has always been a priority for Babs. She was happiest when everyone was gathered together whether it was a ping pong tournament, family celebration or after school tea with the grandchildren. A memorial service will be held on Sunday, November 20, 2016 at 2:00 pm at St. David’s United Church at 1525 Taylor Way in West Vancouver.

Camping trips with Ray and Clare to Lake Carmi, Vermont are fondly remembered and have become legendary among those who accompanied them. Ray liked his martinis and in later years enjoyed making his own wines. He was skilled at carpentry and great at fixing things. He derived pleasure from fishing, playing bridge, travelling, and sharing time with family and friends. The family would like to convey special thanks to niece Jacqueline Rowland and her husband Steve, grandson Mike Crump and his wife Natalya, Dr. John Lebrun, and the staff at 2 South Evergreen House for their wonderful support. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, February 18th from 1-3PM at Seymour Golf and Country Club, North Vancouver, BC. In lieu of flowers, for those who wish, donations may be made in Ray’s memory to the Dr. Paul Sugar Palliative Support Foundation. To sign the book of condolences or receive information on the Celebration of Life, please visit www.mckenziefuneralservices.com.

The 2017 Audi R8 looks and drives like a supercar, but also boasts the technology and comfort level to keep you happy while you’re caught in a traffic jam or drving across the country. And that V-10 engine sure does put on a show. The R8 is available at Capilano Audi in the Northshore Auto Mall. PHOTO KEVIN HILL

Audi R8 an everyday supercar This is the end. As the electrified, autonomous future beckons, the internal combustion engine finds itself on borrowed time, particularly a big, naturally aspirated V-10 like the one at the heart of this beastly Audi.

Grinding Gears Brendan McAleer

It’s not quite the final flight for the technology, but with turbochargers right across the line in every other German company, and Ferrari’s recent

announcement that all future cars will incorporate some kind of hybrid drive, a change is coming. The future of the supercar is cleaner, quieter, and quicker. But character? We shall see. As a sort of last hurrah, with temperatures dropping in the mountains and the winter rains closing in, I saddled up this blue-blooded last-of-thebreed and set a course for British Columbia’s interior.

DESIGN The original design of the R8 set the world ablaze when it arrived. After decades of the 911’s unchanging shape, here was finally an everyday supercar that actually looked like a supercar. With the updated version, Audi has chosen to smooth out the shape, splitting the instantly recognizable “side-blades” into two pieces. The front and rear are also

reworked, but the change is so mild overall that you’d have trouble picking the two years apart. This being the Plus version, possibly the silliest appellation ever stuck to a supercar, you get a fixed carbon fibre rear spoiler, carbon fibre side blades, a carbon fibre front splitter, and an engine cover made from oak. No, just kidding: it’s carbon fibre too. Twenty-inch alloys look

pretty special, but they’re basically the same kind you get on the mid-level TT. The available paint options are the same you can get on most Audi products. The R8 manages to pull off the clever trick of looking special, but being directly tied to the rest of the Audi brand. It’s a quarter-million dollar car that doesn’t look like a complete extravagance.

Seats ready for racing or relaxing

From page 54

ENVIRONMENT You may be asking yourself, “Why would I buy an Audi, when I could just buy a Lamborghini Huracan, which is essentially the same thing? Or possibly a train, which I could also afford.” Good question. Here’s my answer. While the significantly more expensive Huracan comes with more exciting styling and the prestige of the prancing bull on its nose, the R8’s interior makes the Lambo feel like an old car. Everything’s more modern and fresh, from the cool switchgear for the climate control, to the virtual cockpit. Let’s focus a bit on this last. Instead of the iPad-nailedto-the-dash central screen you get with most cars, the R8 incorporates everything into the instrument panel. That means you can pull the navigation map up, full-size, right in front of you. It’s both easy to use and declutters the cabin. As for the rest, it’s the usual lashings of leather and carefully stitched trim, with a central spine fitted out with beautiful wood trim– oh, hang on, it’s carbon fibre again. Particularly worth a mention are the fixed-back racing buckets, which weirdly manage to be supremely comfortable for long distance driving. I put on about 900 kilometres in a single day and had zero fatigue to report afterwards.

PERFORMANCE The R8’s anachronistic heart is a 5.2-litre V-10 that makes 610 horsepower at 8,250 r.p.m. and 413 footpounds of torque at 6,500 r.p.m. Expect future models to exchange the high-revving 10-cylinder for more torque, a reduced redline, and better power numbers. But forget the numbers. This thing absolutely screams. It can rev from rest to redline in about six-tenths of a second, and when you pair it with the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, it becomes an absolute monster. However, unlike the Lamborghini version, the R8 doesn’t buck or bellow in some false show of bravado. It just goes. Stuck behind a slow-moving tractor-trailer in Manning Park, I pulled out to pass in a shortish passing lane, hit the throttle, and the R8 dumped three gears in the blink of an eye and warped forward with relentless power. That amount of on-demand power is endlessly entertaining, but the best part about the R8 is all the other little ways in which it feels more special as the kilometres pile up. Turning North at Princeton, we left the broad routes behind and wriggled along some freshly laid tarmac of the 5A, running all the way up to Merritt. Here, on a road with relatively tight boundaries, the R8

Quebec gets aggressive with electric A biweekly roundup of automotive news, good, bad and just plain weird:

You can find charging stations on the North Shore, but Quebec has taken things a step further by announcing aggressive plans to encourage electric vehicle use. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD

QUEBEC SETS EV MANDATES La belle province proved itself forward looking this week, announcing plans to have 100,000 electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles on the roads by 2020. With plenty of hydroelectric power on offer, EVs have long been popular in Quebec, and the new bill is hoped to increase adoption of zero emissions technology. EV buyers in Quebec will have access to an $8,000 rebate, with a $1,000 subsidy towards installing an in-home charger (these normally cost about $1,500). Thus, something like a Nissan Leaf starts looking to be about the same price as the mid-sized Altima. The rebate will also likely

fastest, baddest machines to wear the four-ringed badge. Thanks to the sales success of AMG, we’re getting more of them. You can trace the breed back to the Audi RS2, a boosted up wagon based on the Audi 80. Never officially imported to North America, there are nonetheless a few of these running around Canada. It’s a neat machine, incorporating a considerable amount of engineering from Porsche, who built it on the production line that once made the 959 supercar. These days, RS-branded Audis are designed and engineered in-house. On this side of the water, we get the RS7 and soon the TT-RS. Across the Atlantic, there’s the RS Q3 crossover, the fierce little RS3, and the delectable RS6 Avant wagon. The last is surely the best way to make your labradoodle two-dimensional. Audi Sport chief Stephan Winkelmann, the one-time head of Lamborghini, has revealed plans to add eight RS models to the lineup by 2018. While no specifics were given, the European press is speculating there’ll be RS versions of the A1, the A4, and the Q5, as well as possibly

Braking News Brendan McAleer bridge the gap between the base Prius and the plug-in Prius Prime. Widespread adoption of EVs in one of Canada’s coldest provinces might have some interesting effects down the road. With a large sample population weathering harsh winters, companies working on making EV tech more flexible can see what real-world issues crop up, and make developments accordingly. AUDI PLANS FURTHER RS-IFICATION The Audi RS line represents the pinnacle of the brand. Analogous to BMW’s M division or Mercedes’ AMG brand, an RS badge means you’re driving the

the flagship R8. Since you can buy a Mercedes-AMG version of just about everything, and since fuel prices look to continue to be cheap (at least in the United States), you can probably expect to see a few RS-badged crossovers showing up in the North American market before too long. C’mon Audi, send us one of your wagons. THE NÜRBURGRING GETS RAM’D The Green Hell, as it’s sometimes called, is a brutally long and dangerous circuit used in endurance racing that just happens to also be open to the public. Many manufacturers use the Nürburgring for vehicle development, and setting a fast lap time is seen as an essential marketing strategy to show off just how capable your new sportscar is. So anyway, here are 1,152 Dodge Rams on it. As you’d expect, there’s an attempt at a Guinness World Record going on here, one for the largest ever pickup-truck parade. The Dodge gathering easily smashed the old record,

feels small and light. It’s a wide car, but where some supercars can feel ungainly outside of a track environment, the R8 does well in the real world. It’s also quiet enough to have a conversation in, assuming you’re cruising, and the fuel tank is relatively large. It is, essentially, a blend between mid-engined sportscar and a The Audi R8 is a supercar that definitely looks like a supercar. PHOTO SUPPLIED

grand tourer. But turning south again and hammering down through the tunnels of the Fraser Canyon, the R8 is most emphatically a supercar. Run it to redline and you can feel the hairs raise on the back of your neck, that man-machine feel of being at the controls of something immensely powerful. It’s something very special, but you’d expect it to be, considering the price tag. The beauty is that the R8 lets you have it all: supercar performance and enough comfort to

Fuel economy is OK, for a rocket Competition

From page 60 are 16.5 (litres/100 kilometres) in the city and 11.2 on the highway. GREEN LIGHT Effortlessly fast; surprisingly comfortable; jewel-like engine. STOP SIGN It ain’t cheap; styling blander than previously; cargo space is limited. THE CHECKERED FLAG As a final performance for naturally aspirated German engines, it’s a triumph.

PORSCHE 911 TURBO S ($214,800) As the everyday supercar benchmark, the 911 Turbo is hard to beat. It’s got 2+2 practicality, an easy-to-drive seating position, and a thunderously powerful engine. In terms of pure speed, the R8 can’t quite catch its rival from Stuttgart. The 911’s just that little bit quicker in acceleration, and will slightly out-corner the R8, thanks to Porsche’s clever all-wheeldrive system. However, the uber-911’s shape isn’t all that special, and the R8 also has the edge in terms of that wonderful engine.

The R8 feels small and light on tight, twisty mountain roads. It’s a wide car, but where some supercars can feel ungainly outside of a track environment, the R8 does well in the real world. PHOTO SUPPLIED BRENDAN MCALEER

Volunteers set up a distracted walking course to test pedestrians’ ability to analyze their surroundings and navigate them safely while looking at their phones. The course came as police and safety agencies around the province are pushing out awareness campaigns about keeping pedestrians safe. The months of October through January are the worst in British Columbia for vehicle collisions involving pedestrians. On Nov. 8 a 21-year-old woman collided with an SUV on Lynn Valley Road. The woman suffered head injuries when the collision knocked her to the ground and she later died in hospital. In a separate incident Nov. 12 another pedestrian got away with minor bumps and bruises after a driver knocked her to the ground in Central Lonsdale. The victim, a woman in her early 60s, was walking on the sidewalk outside the Esso station at

Lonsdale and 17th Street around 7:30 p.m., when the driver of a black Honda struck her as he was exiting the Esso station and attempting a turn north onto Lonsdale. Some tips on being a safe pedestrian: BE CAUTIOUS When crossing the path of another user, make eye contact. Never assume they have seen you. Be extra cautious at intersections. Watch for vehicles turning left or right. Make sure there is sufficient gap in the traffic flow to allow you time to cross. Look both ways before you cross and listen for traffic wherever it may come from. BE COURTEOUS On multi-use paths, walk on the right side and follow pavement markings. Large groups walking side-by-side block the path and prevent others from being able to pass safely. Move to one side, and leave enough space for a cyclist to pass. BE SAFE AND FOCUSED Stay off hand-held electronic devices while walking across the road. BE PREDICTABLE AND VISIBLE Dress to be seen. Wear bright/reflective clothing or accessories in low-visibility conditions.

FORD ECOSPORT SET FOR NORTH AMERICA With small crossovers selling well, Ford has decided to spread out their line a little. Joining the Escape, Edge, and Explorer is the new Ford EcoSport, a tiny little crossover based on the Fiesta. Due to launch soon, the EcoSport looks to capitalize on the trend for small car buyers to want the same higher seating position as the rest of the market. It’ll get the same engine options as the Fiesta, so expect it to trade some of the Fiesta’s nippy handling for an increased ride height. You know what this means, of course. At some point, every single vehicle on the road will be a crossover of some kind. Then, Ford or Chevy or Honda will introduce the super crossover, an even taller version of an existing vehicle. For a time, buying a super crossover the size of a railway observation

KIT KAT BATTLES LARCENY WITH CHOCOLATE You’re never supposed to leave your car unlocked, but that’s just what a Kansas college student did. Having stepped away from his car for a bit, he returned to find that someone had opened the door and made off with a Kit Kat. The thief left a note: “Saw Kit Kat in your cup holder. I love Kit Kats so I checked your door and it was unlocked. Did not take anything other than the Kit Kat. I am sorry and hungry.” Thanks to the amplification effects of social media, the story came to the attention of Kit Kat’s PR team, who spotted an opportunity. They contacted the student, Hunter Jobbins, and offered to fill his entire car with boxes of Kit Kats. Jobbins parked the car out front of his university’s main hall and attempted to give away most of the chocolate bars, but still ended up with enough to ensure that the freshman 15 will be more like the freshman 50.
