City approves new museum on Esplanade Community history showcase near Quay to open in 2019 JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com
The past may be through with North Vancouver, but North Vancouver isn’t through with the past.
The North Vancouver Museum and Archives officially found a new home Monday, as City of North Vancouver council unanimously voted to hang their history in the Polygon development at 131 West Esplanade. The museum will be on the first floor of Polygon Homes’ 14-storey condo development. The approximately 16,000-square-foot space has an estimated value of $11 million.
Council’s approval marks the end of “30 years of a dream,” said Coun. Don Bell. That dream was denied earlier in 2016 when council rejected plans to move the museum’s itinerant artifacts into the Pipe Shop building after the NVMA’s fundraising drive fell nearly $1 million short. The rejection represented a “great failure of the imagination,” said Coun. Pam Bookham. However, the disappointment led to a “better facility than could’ve been attained in the Pipe Shop,” according to Bell. The Polygon site will provide: “A first-class modern museum, and not just simply a repository of dusty artifacts.” Coun. Linda Buchanan, who previously expressed concerns about the museum becoming a “financial

TRANS MOUNTAIN: MP DEFENDS OTTAWA’S STANCE
Beech breaks silence on Kinder Morgan pipeline JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com
Two weeks after the federal Liberal government announced approval of the $6.8-billion Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion project, Burnaby North-Seymour MP Terry Beech has broken his silence on the issue, saying while the decision was “tough” for him and many of his constituents, he is standing behind Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal cabinet, describing Trudeau as an “environmental champion.”
Beech spoke to the North Shore News after releasing a 24-minute YouTube video statement on the pipeline approval this week. While Beech acknowledged most of the constituents he’s heard from
Terry Beech, Liberal MP Burnaby North-Seymour were disappointed in the decision, he said he plans to stay in the Liberal caucus and advocate for local interests. Crossing the floor to join the Green Party or sit as an independent – as some suggested – was never a possibility, said Beech, despite his own work on the issue, which cast doubts on the
rationale for the project. “I ran on a platform I believe in. I still have a lot of work to do to deliver that,” he said. “Crossing the floor over a single issue when we’re dealing with hundreds of issues wasn’t a consideration.” Beech added remaining in the Liberal caucus puts him in the best possible position to continue advocating for his constituents. Speculation about Beech’s plans had surfaced after the rookie MP went into radio silence following the decision Nov. 29, rejecting all but one request for interviews until this week. In the lead-up to the decision, Beech made no secret about his own questions surrounding the Trans Mountain expansion project, which will triple the Edmonton-to-Burnaby pipeline’s capacity from 300,000
barrels a day to 890,000 barrels a day. Beech presented a report critical of the National Energy Board process that recommended approval of the expansion at a ministerial panel hearing in August. In particular, Beech targeted the economic analysis Trans Mountain commissioned that the NEB used in determining the project would be in the national interest, saying it “incentivizes exaggeration of the benefits while minimizing the costs or risks.” Beech also produced a detailed report on the issue that he used in an attempt to lobby Liberal caucus colleagues. More than any other B.C. MP, Beech has been at the forefront of the pipeline issue. His riding straddles

significantly from 0.5 per cent in 2015. The District of West Vancouver’s vacancy rate came in at 0.2 per cent, also down from 0.5 per cent last year. North Vancouver City fell to 0.3 per cent from 0.4 per cent last year. The only jurisdictions with lower vacancies were the University Endowment Lands at UBC and Delta, both of which registered zero vacancy. Average rental costs meanwhile have spiked about 6.7 per cent across the region in the last year. West Vancouver had the highest average rent at $1,746. The trend is, in part, tied to higher employment and population growth in the Metro Vancouver region with hardly any new rental unit being built, the report notes “Strong demand for rental accommodation in Vancouver outpaced additions to supply, pushing rents higher and vacancies lower for purpose-built and condo rental apartments,” said Robyn Adamache, principal of market analysis for CMHC’s Vancouver branch. New rental housing starts climbed over the survey period but the city actually experienced a net loss of purpose-built rental units. Increases in the selling prices of entry-level homes is also indirectly impacting the rental market by preventing would-be buyers from moving up the continuum, the report suggested. The outlook is bleak but not surprising, said Don Peters, housing advocate and chairman of the North Shore’s Community Housing Action Committee. “I just think it’s a sign of the times. I think there’s no changing where we’re headed,” he said. Typically three per cent is considered a healthy vacancy rate, according to Brian Clifford, policy analyst for the BC NonProfit Housing Association, although Vancouver has never once had that rate since data collection began in 1976. Almost of all of the existing purpose-built rental stock was constructed between the 1950s and early 1980s when the federal government offered tax incentives to developers. As the population grew and
demographics changed, it’s left today’s renters vying for the same old stock. “What you’re seeing is huge lineups for any vacancy that comes up. Competition for those units is very, very, very severe,” Clifford said. While trying in vain to find an affordable home is psychologically stressful, it also puts a strain on the wider economy, Clifford said, as labour markets rely on healthy rental markets. The popularity of room letting websites like Airbnb and vacant condos are certainly contributing to the problem, Clifford said, but in total they’re probably smaller factors than the lack of new units being built over the last 30 years. Both Peters and Clifford agree that more rental stock is direly needed. Municipalities can help woo more developers to offer up creation of purposebuilt stock by doing things like increasing density, waving development cost charges or community amenity contributions, reducing parking requirements, prioritizing processing of purpose-built rental applications or they can lease or sell municipally owned land for affordable housing, Clifford said. And the federal 2016 budget did see a return of the feds to housing with a new program called the Federal Affordable Housing Financing Initiative, which is set to provide 100 per cent financing for affordable rental projects. It should be a good policy but it’s only budgeted for five years, Clifford said, making it susceptible to being a casualty of the political cycle. New rental projects tend to face community opposition going through the “obstacle course” of the approval process, Peters noted, but, he added, it’s not realistic to think we can simply stop building new housing supply. “There is simply no holding back the redevelopment because a lot of stock is simply decaying under our feet and because people want to live here,” he said. “I think the best we can do as citizens over here is be thoughtful about the redevelopment of our North Shore.”

burden” on the city, praised the museum’s proximity to the new Presentation House Gallery. “This is, in my opinion, the better location,” she said. While council was unanimous in their approval, at least two councillors maintained a healthy skepticism. Discussing his consternation about the project’s financial feasibility, Coun. Craig Keating emphasized oversight of the museum’s business plan. Besides annual reports from the NVMA staff, “substantive reviews” are set to take place at the three-, five-, seven- and 10-year mark to ensure “the viability of the museum,” according to a staff report. Keating also requested city staff have: “some Plan Bs, should things begin to go awry.” Coun. Holly Back echoed Keating’s comments, noting
she was “skeptical” of the project’s sustainability and “not totally happy” with the business plan. The initial budget for the museum is $5.5 million, with the city providing $2.55 million and the federal government pledging a little more than $3 million. The museum’s prospects are strong, according to Bell. “We have federal support, we have city support, and we know we have the ability for fundraising,” he said. After years of uncertainty, the time has come to find a “proper home” for the museum, according to Mayor Darrell Mussatto. The mayor thanked the District of North Vancouver for their support of the project and noted the museum’s new challenge of shoehorning more than a century of history into the space on West Esplanade. Bell took time to credit the founder of the North Vancouver Museum and
Archives, Bill Baker, for collecting materials from the city’s shipbuilding boom, from North Shore pioneers and founding families. “Bill collected it, and collected anything and everything that anybody offered; not knowing what form in the future the museum would take,” he said. Museum supporters rallied in support of the new site in June, despite misgivings from Coun. Rod Clark, who suggested the new location would be more difficult to find and “won’t be nearly as attractive.” However, the idea was trumpeted by NVMA commissioner Sanford Osler, who noted Site 8 was the last option in the neighbourhood. Construction on Polygon’s development is scheduled to begin in early 2017 with plans to open the museum in 2019. The archives will remain at its home in Lynn Valley.

Burned homicide victim was a woman JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com
An autopsy conducted on a badly burned body discovered in a wooded area of North Vancouver last month has revealed that the homicide victim was a woman.
But police have still not identified the person whose body was discovered in a shelter along a trail near Lynn Creek Nov. 28. Cpl. Meghan Foster,
spokeswoman for the RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, said investigators are now calling in an anthropologist to help interpret tests that could lead to further information about the woman’s identity. That could take a number of weeks, she said. The homicide team was called out after the grisly discovery was made off Bridgman North Trail in a densely wooded area near East Keith Road and Mountain Highway
by a regular trail user. Until the victim is identified it’s difficult to know what might have led up to that person’s death, said Foster. She said investigators did receive calls from the public after they asked to speak with anyone who had been on the trails in that area between Nov. 25 and Nov. 28. No further information has been released, including whether or not investigators have confirmed a cause of death in the case.

Tsleil-Waututh vow to fight approval From page 1
Burrard Inlet, where oil tanker traffic is expected to triple if the project goes ahead, and includes both the Westridge pipeline terminus in Burnaby where oil tankers would be loaded and the traditional territory of North Vancouver’s Tsleil-Waututh people who are adamantly opposed to the project. Beech said this week he’d hoped his work on the issue would have an impact on cabinet’s decision on the issue. “I wouldn’t have been working so hard on this matter if I didn’t think I could impact my government and the decision-making process,” he said. Beech said he believes the Liberals have taken many of the underlying concerns into account, such as the potential impact on climate change, which he said is being addressed by the adoption of a national price on carbon. He said that issue was tied to the pipeline decision in considering the national interest – a reference to politics in Alberta where a carbon tax was considered a non-starter without a
pipeline approval. “If you zoom out from the Burnaby Mountain Trans Mountain pipeline decision and look at some of the other issues that are wrapped around it … there are some pretty complicated interwoven decisions that had to be made,” he said. Beech said his office has received hundreds of emails and phone calls since the decision was made. Most people, while not happy with the decision, have appreciated the work he put in on the issue, he said. Beech said he will continue to listen to constituents on the issue – even if that involves attending protests or actions of civil disobedience that a number of groups have said they’ll take part in if work on the project begins. Meanwhile the TsleilWaututh have vowed to fight the pipeline approval in court on issues of aboriginal rights and title. Beech declined to speculate on what the decision might mean for his own chances of re-election in the riding. “It’s not my job to defend my seat,” he said. “My job is to do the best job I can for my constituents.”

W
est Vancouver council had something of a reckoning this month, approving its first rental development in roughly 40 years. The 41-unit Hollyburn project was fought bitterly by the neighbours, many of whom were skeptical that there was even a need for more rental housing. Well, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. stats show vacancy rates on the North Shore range from 0.1 per cent to 0.3 per cent, all dangerously low, putting renters looking for a home in a desperate state. Few people realize that almost all of our existing “affordable” rental housing stock was built only because of federal tax subsidies offered to developers. When tax credits were cancelled in the 1980s, it was the end of new purpose-built rental housing. With natural population growth and new generations coming of age with no new units to accommodate them, it’s no
wonder we’re now in a vacancy crisis. And these 41 units are a tiny drop in the bucket. A study by the B.C. Non-Profit Housing Association estimated Metro Vancouver is going to need 116,000 new units of purpose-built rental housing by 2036 to accommodate the expected growing population. The province and the feds are slowly getting back in the business of supporting purpose-built rental housing, which we welcome, but we have a lot of lost ground to cover. All of our councils need to show some initiative when it comes to increasing rental supply. But many of our existing affordable units are now under threat of redevelopment into much more expensive housing. We’d argue every time one of these old walk-ups gets knocked down, the developer should be required to pay back the initial subsidy – adjusted for the cost of housing, of course.
Once around the dance floor with Death
I
saw myself in a mirror where there was no mirror. I was purple on a shifting, sea-like purple background. My lips were most purple of all. And swollen. Thick. My wife had called 911. Her voice was calm and clear. Then I was standing on the edge of a dance floor wreathed in mist. Dressed in the elaborate dinner clothes of an earlier time, Death approached. He bowed with deep formality, so low that his horrible rictus descended to my waist level. I could hear the bony jaws click together like checker pieces. He extended his hand. There was no rejecting it. We waltzed gravely, slowly, around the dance floor, once. He returned me to where I had stood, and

tunnel, like a big laundry chute lined with soft sheets. But not falling — instead being drawn swiftly upward, upward. Then, as the poet said: No more time began. I broke out of the blackness and awoke, tethered and tubed and a human pincushion of needles. I spent five or six days in the intensive care unit at Lions Gate Hospital, got outstanding attention, praised 911’s staff, learned, as only the stricken can, the priceless value of family, and mourned that I could never eat prawns again. I’d had an allergic reaction, whose serious possibilities I’d always underestimated. Like dying, for example. Where did memory end and symbolism begin? The white tunnel was a clear memory, while the
once-around-the-floor with Death was a mind’s imaginative creation after the event. Yet they had equal claims to truth. Christmas came early. WWW Extra, extra, read all about it! Women played a big role in Peter Lambur’s byelection victory for West Vancouver council! It’s a cute story. Except for a male or two, a core of women of mature years with much cumulative experience in grassroots politics – not always warmly welcomed at West Van town hall – aggressively campaigned for Lambur. ‘‘They were a great support,’’ said Lambur, who handily won over secondplace Andy Krawczyk, 1,262 votes to 939. “They brought a level of energy to my campaign that was great.
Determining factor? Who knows?’’ During the campaign I was phoned by only one caller, urging me to vote for her candidate – Lambur. In my experience such political calls are rare bordering on unprecedented in West Van municipal elections. Disgustingly suspicious, I had expected that special interests — broadly, pro-development money — would quietly back enabling candidates, or stack the deck with just one. But if the election was a shadow referendum on WV development versus preservation, allowing that that’s an unsustainable black-and-white distinction, the result was clear. Lambur’s campaign slogan was ‘‘Neighbourhoods First.” That played to his core backers, many of them

Do you give back at Christmastime? Canadians are not as charitable as their U.S. counterparts, and that financial generosity has hit a 10-year low, a new Fraser Institute report has revealed. Looking at tax statements, 21.3 per cent of Canadians claimed charitable donations in 2014, when the data was last collected. B.C. falls at the bottom of the charitable giving list, 54th overall out of 64 jurisdictions in Canada and the U.S. Americans donate twice as much, the study also found.

“Absolutely. We serve the homeless turkey dinner on Christmas Day at the Salvation Army. It just makes us feel good.”
Ed Crosetti North Vancouver
“Just to the neighbours. I fish, so I give them some fish I’ve caught (in the Capilano River). It’s the Canadian way, I guess.”
That so many of you have been vigourously connected to the TransMountain pipeline issue over these past months speaks well of our collective sense of duty as citizens to be engaged in decisions that affect our future. I too have been vigourously engaged. No single issue has commanded more of my time and attention since being elected as your MP. In August, I wrote in this column: “Legitimate questions and concerns have been raised by people in North Vancouver – the most significant being: ➤ How the proposed pipeline
expansion fits with Canada`s pledge to combat climate change

Move port activities from inlet Dear Editor: Let’s plan for a moratorium (stop) on any housing development on the North Shore until there are good options for the third crossing, rapid transit or train. A powerful lobby of involved developers will come up with an acceptable solution in no time. Good plans for where to offload some of Vancouver port activities should already be in place. The additional tankers will choke the already busy port in no time. The crude oil and diluted bitumen
transport should be one of the first to move out of the Vancouver area. To navigate big tankers through two narrows and populated areas will put millions of people and all local sea life at risk. Thanks to good planning, the port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands became one of the biggest and most successful ports of the world. The port was moved 50 kilometres northwest out of Rotterdam city (towards the North Sea) to an artificial island safely built on the seashore. Big transport
ships and tankers there are not going through sea narrows to populated areas anymore. Another good plan for safer transport would be to process the bitumen into synthetic crude right in place in Alberta. Nobody wants diluted bitumen in their own back or front yards for its toxicity including its diluents and no ability of removing it when it is on the bottom of the sea or rivers due to waves, tides and silt actions.

Grey jay an unlikely winner From page 8
only watch.
WWW Canadian Geographic sought reader nominations for an official Canadian bird. The choice? I consulted my treasured copy — birthday or Christmas present, 1942 — of P.A. Taverner’s ageing but unsurpassed Birds of Canada. It lists that bird’s
colourful vernacular names: whiskey jack, moose-bird, camp-robber, meat-bird. Its formal name, Canada jay. The winner was … the grey jay, the Canada jay’s name today. Grey. Like most of the country, most of the year. The pulse races. But there’s more: The grey jay actually was readers’ third choice. The loon drew 13,995 votes, the
snowy owl 8,948, the gray jay 7,918. But the Royal Canadian Geographical Society nullified the top two because they’re already official provincial birds. Have the mad electoral reform zealots seized on this? Is this a great third-place country for them, or not? rtlautens@gmail.com
➤ The potential for spills in our
harbour and questions about whether spills of diluted bitumen can be effectively contained or cleaned up
➤ The potential for increased tanker
Balancing risk and benefit I would be the last to say that the risk of a spill is zero or that the recovery of the South Resident Killer Whales is simple. However, the measures the government has committed to taking, make these risks reasonable when measured against project benefits - benefits that include $4.5 billion in government revenues (which will support investments required for the Canadian economy to transition to a lower carbon future and to fund services such as health care and education) and the creation of a transportation mechanism for oil that is far safer than rail. In my role as your MP I did more than loudly articulate our community’s concerns – I worked very hard on contributing solutions to address these concerns: ➤ I was actively involved in the
development of the Oceans Protection Plan and in the development of an appropriate recovery strategy for the South Resident Killer Whale population.

➤ I was closely involved in the
I believe they have been.
Actions taken The recently announced Ocean Protection Plan addresses concerns relating to spill prevention and response - including providing for a much enhanced Coast Guard role. The government has committed to a comprehensive recovery strategy for the South Resident Killer Whales – something that is required irrespective of any decision relating to the TransMountain pipeline expansion. The government undertook significant consultations with Indigenous communities and invested much effort to address concerns raised during these consultations. Greenhouse gas emissions associated with upstream oil development are accounted for and fit within the government’s climate action plan - the “Pan-Canadian Framework on Climate Change and Clean Growth” - which is a significant step forward in the battle against climate change. Our community’s concerns and long term interests were addressed and the risks were weighed appropriately against the economic benefits the project will provide and the national interest.

Addressing climate change is something to which I have dedicated the past 20 years of my life as an executive in the Cleantech industry and now as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change. At the end of the day, the federal government made a difficult decision – but a decision that is grounded in evidence and an appropriate consideration of the national interest. When I was elected, I promised to be transparent and accountable for the positions I take as your MP. That’s why I’ve posted on my website a thorough and detailed 9-page “Open Letter to the Constituents of North Vancouver” outlining my journey to this decision. You can find the letter at http:// jwilkinson.liberal.ca/news-nouvelles/ transmountainexpansion/.

CRIME: VEHICLE BREAK-INS
Suspect takes the bait, gets arrested for theft
BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
While you’re out doing your Christmas shopping, thieves might be out shopping for you – or rather from you.
North Vancouver RCMP arrested a man after he broke into one of their strategically placed bait cars early Sunday morning. Unbeknownst to the suspect, he’d set off a silent alarm, alerting waiting police. They found him a short distance away with stolen goods, and arrested him, according to Cpl. Richard De Jong,
North Vancouver RCMP spokesman. Police deploy their bait cars covertly in areas known to be hot spots for thefts from autos, typically in residential or commercial neighbourhoods. De Jong could not say what the successful bait was, although he said it was in keeping with the types of things victims of theft often leave in their cars, sometimes unlocked. The case should be a warning to residents about leaving valuables in their unattended vehicles, especially this time of year when people tend to leave their
Christmas shopping boxes and bags behind, De Jong said. It is also meant to deter would-be thieves, he added. “It’s designed to send a message out to those who would be thinking of breaking into a vehicle that any vehicle you break ... (could be) a bait car. This guy found out the hard way.” The man was kept in custody pending his first court appearance. Sebastian Wawatie, a 28-year-old Vancouver man, is now facing one charge of theft under $5,000. Wawatie is due back in court on Dec. 16.

You know you’ve arrived as a legitimate party when event organizers come into possession of not one, but two pairs of custom-made jeans worn by Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards. Such was the case around this time last year, when John
Hewer raffled off the Italian-made trousers as part of the sixth instalment of Keithmas, a yearly fundraiser for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank that’s centred around all things Keith. Hewer got the slacks from a mutual friend who worked multiple Rolling Stones tours, though party pants won’t be in the offing for this year’s fundraiser. Instead, a Fender Telecaster, a guitar amp and pedal – all of which are central to Richards’ signature sound – will be up for grabs tonight at the Rickshaw Theatre. “In a nutshell, Keithmas is a celebration of Keith Richards’ life and his lifestyle to a lesser degree,” Hewer says . “But it’s also a celebration of the holiday season.” Bif Naked headlines the list of acts at Keithmas VII and she’ll be performing alongside Rich Hope and the Evil Doers,
La Chinga, Sister Morphine, Greenback High and “neo psyche” outfit Orange Kyte, among others. Last year’s gig raised $12,500 and more than $30,000 has been raised since Keithmas’ inception in 2010. All of the acts perform tunes Richards has had his hands on, and year after year, the bands play for free. Rickshaw owner/ general manager Mo Tarmohamed has also waived the room rental fee, which is in the hundreds of dollars, for the festivities. “We’ve approached a number of rooms in the past and they always want something,” Hewer says. “It’s not like we’re against paying, but we’re trying to raise money here. If we have to shell out $2,000 it kind of defeats the purpose. Nobody has ever

asked for a penny. I think it says a lot of about the bands.” The first kick at the Keithmas can netted $800 and five boxes of food. Held at the Fairview, the gig was well attended but didn’t sell out. The show has since outgrown its former homes at the Fairview and Electric Owl, and returns to the Rickshaw for the second straight year.
DOA’s Joe Keithley, Colin James and the Odds are among the Keithmas alumni, though one constant over the last seven years has been Rich Hope and the Evil Doers. “It’s so fun to do and the vibe has gotten better every year,” Hope says. “Donating your time for a cause like the Food Bank, it’s a very direct way to give. You know where the money is going and you know that it’s doing some good right here in your town.”

East Van Panto escapes from real world Annual holiday production mines for comedy gold in tales from the Brothers Grimm
! East Van Panto: Little Red Riding Hood runs Nov. 23-Dec. 31 at the York Theatre (639 Commercial). Tickets from $20; For more info visit TheCultch.com. KELSEY KLASSEN Contributing Writer
Pantos are a funny thing, both literally and figuratively. They’re politically savvy yet patently ridiculous. They’re freewheeling physical theatre mixed with witty cabaret. They’re classic storytelling blended with cutaways for cheeky one-liners.
Thus, it takes a particular talent to be able to write a script that respects the Old World source material (in this case, the woodsy and wolf-y plight of Little Red Riding Hood), yet also adds in ripe, biting humour – for an audience of adults and children, no less – while saving room for the goofball musical numbers, traditional call-and-responses and camp of the panto format. Which is perhaps why Theatre Replacement, producer of the annual East Van Panto (Nov. 23-Dec. 31 at the York Theatre), calls in the muscle each year to mine for comedy gold in the Brothers Grimm. Last year saw comedian-author Charles Demers reworking Hansel and Gretel
to ribald effect. This year we have Mark Chavez, one half of internationally renowned comedy duo the Pajama Men, wielding the pen. With his nimble narrative comedy sketches, Chavez (alongside Pajama Men partner Shenoah Allen) has graced stages in London’s West End and the Edinburgh Fringe, as well as developed scripts for establishments like HBO, BBC and Film 4. Meanwhile the Albuquerque, New Mexico, export also makes a home locally with award-winning Vancouver improv troupe The Sunday Service for roughly six months of the year. It’s no wonder Chavez’s name rose to the top for the multi-faceted Panto, which this year stars the likes of Andrew McNee (Diary of a Wimpy Kid) and Rachel Aberle (Chelsea Hotel). “It’s just a dream project for a comedian,” says Chavez. “Because on one side it’s an ‘issue show’. We’re actually attacking and looking at real problems and real issues. But on the other side it’s a kid’s family show, so it can be super ridiculous. And so I love the ridiculousness of it, and being able to take a character and go as far as I want (with it)” he laughs. “At the beginning I would be like, ‘Is this too much?’ And usually what I would get back is, ‘You can
Little Red Riding Hood braves the Adanac bike route to bring organic sweets to Grandma in the East Van Panto, running until Dec. 31 at the York Theatre. PHOTO SUPPLIED TIM MATHESON go further,’ which is always such a great thing to hear.” To that end, last year’s Panto poked fun at everything from Vancouver’s coffee shop culture to the infamous transit plebiscite of 2015, to the city’s latent hatred of Stephen Harper as the protagonists waltzed
through the wilds of Stanley Park. This time out, Chavez says that petty East Van “problems” will be examined alongside larger regional pressure points like the Downtown Eastside, as Red makes her hero’s journey along the Adanac bike path
from Boundary Road to the Woodward’s Building. (Get it? Wood-wards?) And Chavez notes that he has worked in the occasional global talking point. Despite his American origins, however, don’t expect much time spent on Trump. “We do tackle it a
little bit,” he says, the ‘we’ referring to director Anita Rochon and songwriter Veda Hille, who were all heavily involved in shaping the final product. “But first of all,” he continues, “Trump was the villain two Pantos ago, and what I said was, ‘He’s just taken over my country; he’s not taking over my panto!’ “I think we’re just exhausted,” he adds, “and I want the audience to come and have a great time and feel like it is a little bit of escapism, and celebrate being in the room with each other.” Which fits with the model that has made the East Van Panto such a critical and commercial success four years running: it’s a chance to poke fun at the tropes and idiosyncrasies that make East Van tick, while basking in a little bit of holiday cheer. “That’s the most important thing about the show,” Chavez explains. “It’s a show that can exist only in the holiday season of 2016 in Vancouver – specifically in East Van – and that’s what makes it so great. Like, it’s not a show that we would just take up and re-tweak and throw over to Baltimore, you know? And I think that really makes it very, very special for the audience. They know that they are part of an ephemeral piece of work that they have one chance to see. […] They have a specific time that they can see and be a part of [it], and then it’s gone.” – Kelsey Klassen writes for our sister paper the Westender

It just seemed like a much more living room atmosphere.” Lavigne and his crew really set the scene for an old-fashioned Christmas, dressing the stage as an oldtime radio studio. Sporting a suit and fedora, Lavigne croons such standards as “White Christmas” and “It’s a Marshmallow World” into a vintage microphone transmitting an antiquated sound, and is set against a chalet backdrop with a roaring fireplace in the centre. With each new song, a moving panorama scrolls through classic winter scenes handpainted by Lavigne along with his kids and crew members. A massive indoor snowball fight, which “people need to come to the show to experience it,” teases Lavigne, “is by far the biggest highlight.” A founding member of The Canadian Tenors, Victoria-born Lavigne has charmed concert-goers across North America. He notably performed at Carnegie Hall, had an audience with Prince Charles and has collaborated extensively with famed producer and
sleigh bells in the snow.” Nowadays, people are more tuned in to the chiming of their smartphones. Still, “White Christmas” has survived the piracy era and remains the world’s best-selling single – over 50 million copies – for more than 50 years. Why? Because the song’s simple, heartwarming message – “May your days be merry and bright and all your Christmases be white” – resonates with many people, especially at this time of the year. Canadian crooner Ken Lavigne captures the golden age of live radio with his Christmas Musical Road Show, which will stop by Centennial Theatre Dec. 21. Music, merriment and nostalgia will fill the air as the audience is transported back to the 1940s. A lifelong classical singer, Lavigne dreamed of delivering a special Christmas show. “I’ve always loved the music of Bing Crosby and Dean Martin and some of the great stuff from the 1940s,” says Lavigne, speaking to the News Tuesday, from behind the wheel of his tour van currently crisscrossing the province. Golden and its welcoming residents have made the Kootenay town Lavigne’s most memorable stop thus
fellow Victoria native David Foster. “He’s a really delightful person,” says Lavigne of Foster. “And he loves just going to the piano and playing all sorts of stuff. It’s nice to see because he’s had this long career and he still loves it.” Lavigne woke up on New Year’s Day 2008, deciding he wanted to follow his dream of performing at the prestigious Carnegie Hall and not knowing “how much he was biting off.” The first thing that came to mind for Lavigne was to
orchestra behind him and 1,200 New Yorkers in the audience. “And I just gave the concert of a lifetime. It was an amazing experience,” says Lavigne. While he often writes his own material, drawing inspiration from his life experience, Lavigne also covers classics such as the late Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” “It’s a song that I have performed hundreds of times and it still gives me chills and I still discover new things about it, the poetry,
call the famed venue’s front office and request a booking. He quickly learned there would be many hoops for him to jump through. Then they told Lavigne how much it would cost to play at the venerable NYC venue. “And I swallowed my gum and was like ‘Oh my goodness,” recalls Lavigne with a laugh. Fortunately, Lavigne was able to fundraise the money and make his dream a reality, in January 2009. He had a full symphony
the meaning of the words and of course the power of the music – it’s palpable in the audience, they feel that,” says Lavigne. “While it’s not a Christmas song, you might find it somewhere in the program.” The Centennial Theatre show will be the last stop on Lavigne’s Christmas tour and it could prove to be the most entertaining of all with some ad-lib banter. “I think things might be a little loose on stage on that last show,” says Lavigne with a playful laugh.

Stylish bracelet also brings smarts
Systems designer develops brilliant bracelet MARIA SPITALE-LEISK mspitale-leisk@nsnews.com
Two friends’ telecommunications and fashion backgrounds have merged to create a bracelet with brains and beauty.
Lynn Valley resident Ken Miyanabe always has his eyes on the latest trends in technology, but not fashion. That is until the systems designer synced up with a friend in the fashion industry and a dazzling enterprise was born. In 2010, Miyanabe started developing a prototype for a device which women can wear that notifies them of incoming phone calls. Smartphones are often buried in a bag, resulting in missed messages, Miyanabe says he observed. Starting with a bracelet as the vessel for the technology, Miyanabe’s first prototype had a screen, similar to an Apple Watch, but women he surveyed rejected it. Women wanted the technology concealed underneath some gleaming jewels. “Someone said to me: ‘If you are going to market this, it needs to be more luxurious,’” says Miyanabe. Another fortuitous friendship, with someone who sells Swarovski crystals, led to a
brilliant design that proved popular. Enter the Clara Bracetie. The Swarovski crystal embellished bangle notifies you of an incoming call or when you accidently leave your phone behind while out in public. If you are five metres apart from your phone, a flicker of blue LED lights, a beep or vibration or a combination thereof alerts the bracelet owner. A small button on the side of the bracelet is pressed to answer the call. Clara means bright and shiny in Latin, while bracetie is a word Miyanabe made up to describe how the bracelet ties or connects to your phone. Bluetooth technology is embedded inside the bracelet for simple syncing with smartphones. Clara Bracetie will also activate for text messages, if the cell phone model’s Bluetooth technology supports it. While popular in Japan, Miyanabe’s hightech bracelet might be a first for the North American market, he says. Swarovski crystals come in 200 colours and Miyanabe has curated a collection of the most popular shades, with silk, a champagne hue, and aquamarine being the most pleasing so far. The Clara Bracetie holds a 30-hour charge and is powered using a USB connector. Only available online at the moment, Miyanabe hopes to soon have the Clara Braceties available in some stores locally. More information on Miyanabe’s bracelet design can be found on his website, clarabracetie.com.

Mind Body and Soul Managing rosacea symptoms A chronic skin condition, rosacea affects millions of people each year and often begins with a tendency to blush or turn flushed more easily than other people. However, rosacea can become more pronounced on the face, producing swelling and bumpy or thickening skin. Rosacea can spread to other areas of the body as well. Because rosacea is often noticeable, many people with the condition are interested in learning how to reduce their symptoms.
· fair skin with light hair and blue eyes
The first step when considering skincare treatment is to visit a doctor to determine if the symptoms you are exhibiting are indicative of rosacea. If a general practitioner is unsure, he or she may refer you to a dermatologist. Dermatologists specialize in skin conditions and usually can identify rosacea with just a visual inspection. Ignoring symptoms of rosacea could put you at risk of exacerbating the redness even further.
Antibiotic treatments: Antibiotics used to treat rosacea have antiinflammatory properties. They can be effective in the short term and are usually applied as creams, but they may come in pill form as well.
The exact cause of rosacea is unknown, but some believe it is linked to the swelling of blood vessels beneath the skin. The Mayo Clinic says rosacea symptoms may flare up for weeks at a time before diminishing. Many people who develop rosacea fall into these categories: · between 30 and 50 years old
· Celtic or Scandinavian ancestry, and · most likely have someone in their family with severe acne or rosacea. Although there’s no definitive cure for rosacea, treatments can help control redness and reduce other signs of the condition. A combination of medication, avoidance of triggers and some natural remedies may be able to help.
Acne medications: The Mayo Clinic says some doctors will prescribe isotretinoin, a powerful acne medication, if antibiotics do not work. This may be used on acne-like lesions that accompany rosacea. Lasers and light treatments: Doctors may use lasers and other light treatments to reduce redness and inflammation and to remove thickening skin. Electrosurgery (electrocautery): This procedure sends electric currents into the skin to help treat it by reducing the appearance of blood vessels or removing tissue buildup that typically forms around the nose.
Avoiding triggers: Some people have found that eating spicy food; excessive drinking; stress; or extreme temperatures can cause rosacea to flare up. Learning about your triggers and avoiding these things can make rosacea less troublesome, possibly extending the time between flareups. Exploring home remedies: Foods and beverages known to reduce inflammation can help reduce the redness associated with rosacea. These include but are not limited to chamomile, green tea and oatmeal. Lavender oil and honey also have antimicrobial and antiseptic properties that may make them good for treating rosacea. Consult with a dermatologist before trying natural remedies to ensure they do not compete with or interact with any medications.

Because rosacea is often noticeable, many people with the condition are interested in learning how to reduce their symptoms.
People with rosacea should use gentle skincare products and avoid scrubbing or touching their faces too much. Avoid products that contain alcohol, which can cause further irritation. Everyone should also wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect their skin from damaging UV rays. Rosacea is a common condition, but it is one that can be managed through a comprehensive approach.

REVIEW: JACKIE
JFK’s widow steers Camelot through crisis ! Jackie. Directed by Pablo Larrain. Starring Natalie Portman. Rating: 8 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD Contributing Writer
Biopics of the Kennedys have largely left a trail of tired conspiracy theories and bad accents in their wake, but Pablo Larrain instead weaves history into the background of a much more intimate portrait of Jackie Kennedy in the days immediately after the death of the President.
The film opens with a meeting between Jackie (Natalie Portman) and a reporter (Billy Crudup) a week after the funeral. The former first lady is determined to cultivate the Camelot myth, instead of spinning the gory details of the shooting in Dallas. She gives him the real version of what happened while insisting on her own heavily edited account. Flashbacks to two key time frames follows: to the 1961 televised tour of the White House, and to the shooting itself and the chaos that followed. The TV tour was an effort to justify the great expense of Jackie’s renovations of the White House in their first year in office, for which she was highly criticized. The shoot reveals Jackie to be privately nervous, but already cognizant of the best way to soothe the American public.
Chilean director Pablo Larraín depicts the events around the assassination of President John F. Kennedy through the eyes of his young wife, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy (Natalie Portman), who was determined to hold on to the myth of a perfect, idealized Camelot. PHOTO SUPPLIED The hours and days following the shooting are more disjointed. Jackie wipes her husband’s blood off her face on the airplane as she prepares to witness the swearing-in of Lyndon B. Johnson (John Carroll Lynch). She later refuses to take off the soiled pink suit and pillbox hat: “let them see what they’ve done.” When she finally sheds her clothes and blood-stained hose she stands in the shower, pink-red water
running down her back. It’s striking how alone Jackie was after the trauma, after having to try to hold her husband’s skull together as they were rushed to the hospital. Yet she wanders the rooms of the White House, while the Kennedys try to arrange the funeral against her wishes and the new administration hastens to pack up and move in. Her brother-in-law Bobby (Peter Sarsgaard) appears occasionally to run

interference between the family and the Johnsons. (Sarsgaard, having seen too many people butcher the Kennedy accent by overdoing it, takes the opposite tact and emits barely any trace of a Massachusetts accent at all.) Crudup fares better as the reporter, with whom Jackie is as honest as she is during a meeting with her priest (John Hurt). The reporter is equally blunt: “I can assure you, it was a spectacle,” he
says of Jackie’s carefully planned funeral procession through Washington. “People like to believe in fairy tales,” she correctly states. The score, by 29-year-old British composer Mica Levi, is up-front, adding to that feeling of disorientation. The film is deliberately short on long tracts of dialogue, and the music fills in the gaps of Jackie’s first off-kilter days after the death of her husband.
One of the producers is Darren Aronofsky, who may be responsible in part for a tone that is not unlike his film Black Swan (also starring Portman) in the discomfiting darkness both films engender. The film is a triumph for Portman who expertly captures the loneliness, the resolve and the anguish of a woman forced to grieve in front of millions. “I never wanted fame. I just became a Kennedy.”

Nancy has passed away into the arms of her beloved angels. She was predeceased by her lifelong love Emslie Cecil (Bim) Clark, parents Sigurd and Vivi Haga and sister Violet Scott. She is remembered by her children Nancy, Adele, Daniel and David (Kathryn) along with 11 grandchildren, three great−grandchildren and many dear friends. Born in Vancouver, Nancy spent her younger life living in logging camps on the coast of British Columbia. Later her family settled in Vancouver where she attended Tecumseh Elementary School and graduated from John Oliver High School. Nancy worked at various jobs over the years until her retirement in 1989. Then it was time for travel with Bim to Scotland where they made many close friends. North Vancouver Fire Departments, both District and City, along with the West Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services have been the object of Nancy’s affection for years. Her ’girls and boys’ were diligent in their visits to her home and at Lions Gate Hospital. She loved them all. Nancy’s baking was famous throughout the North Shore. Cookies, cakes, sausage rolls and muffins were always forthcoming from her busy kitchen. A comic and quick−witted woman, she was loved by all who knew her. For many years Nancy would paint the windows at Lions Gate Hospital with lovely Christmas pictures. After Bim’s passing she wanted to do more so volunteered at 7 West, Palliative Care Unit until she found her own rest there. Many thanks to Dr. Bella Hughan for her compassionate care, Dr. Paul Sugar, Nancy’s dear friend, who was always there for her and the care of all the staff on 7 West who made her passing very comfortable and so peaceful. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the VGH Burn Unit in Nancy’s memory. A Celebration of Life will be held on January 29, 2017 from 2 to 5 PM, at the Holiday Inn, 700 Old Lillooet Road, North Vancouver.
GIBBON, John Braidwood October 23, 1940 - December 8, 2016 LEE, Walter Bruce January 9, 1927 - December 9, 2016 After five years with Alzheimer’s, Walt passed away to join his wife Rita (Longworth), who passed away in June of 2014, and son Bruce, who passed away in October of 1990. Walt is survived by his daughter, Patricia Hunt (Colin); his only two grandchildren, Trevor and Kevin; and daughter-inlaw, Linda Davis. Walt loved his family. His grandsons were a special source of joy. Walt began his working life as a salesman for Johnson and Johnson. In 1962, he made the move to insurance, establishing Vancouver General Insurance in Edgemont Village. Walt’s retirement in 1991 allowed him to spend more time with Rita boating. He was active in the Burrard Yacht Club for years, serving on the Board of Directors, was a Commodore, and received an Honorary Lifetime Membership for his service. A very special thank you to the caregivers who provided amazing care to both Rita and Walt over the years. Teresita, Carmen, Jackie, & Manny were kind, patient and instrumental in helping Trish to keep her parents in their own home. A memorial service will be held at St. Anthony’s Church, 2347 Inglewood Avenue, West Vancouver on Wednesday, December 21, 2016 commencing at 2pm. There will be a private family burial at Capilano View Cemetery following the service. A Celebration of Walt’s life will be held at Burrard Yacht Club, 10 Gostick Place, North Vancouver from 4pm until 6:30pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of BC, #300-828 West 8th, Vancouver, B.C. V5Z 1E2, 604.681.6530. To write a condolence to the family, please visit www.mckenziefuneralservices.com.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of John Braidwood Gibbon on December 8, 2016 at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, Canada. Born in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, John was educated at Grey High School. He studied through Unisa and Rhodes University and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1964. John joined Price Waterhouse in the same year and gained experience in Harare, Zambia, London UK and Boston USA. John was made a Partner with Price Waterhouse in 1972. He was Managing Partner of the Port Elizabeth practice from 1982 until 1996 and Managing Partner of Audit in Johannesburg from 1996 until his retirement. John served as the President and Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce. He was involved on the Council for the University of Port Elizabeth for many years. He was an active member in his community and served as the President of the Rotary Club. John married his beloved Sue in July 1964. They were devotedly married for 52 years and had two loving daughters, Nicola and Angela. In 2011, John and Sue left South Africa and moved to their new home in Vancouver, Canada to be reunited with their family. John loved the outdoors, travelling and spending time with family and friends. In particular, he enjoyed fishing, cycling, skiing and spending time in the bush at the Kruger National Park and Botswana. John was always a gentleman, committed to everything he did. He had a zest for life and will always be remembered for his kindness, love, determination and courage. John will be lovingly missed by his wife Sue, daughters Nicola and Angela, sons-in law Otto and Simon, and four grandchildren Sophie, Elena, Joshua and James. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at St. Christopher’s Church at 1068 Inglewood Avenue, West Vancouver on Monday, December 19 at 2:00 pm In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made in John’s memory to St. Paul’s Hospital - Palliative Care or the BC Cancer Society.

Hyundai is putting out a lot of exciting stuff these days, including the new Elantra Sport. For the Sport model Hyundai has tuned up their compact sedan with a turbocharger while adding specialized suspension and improved steering, providing a nice balance between driving fun and sensible practicality. PHOTO SUPPLIED HYUNDAI
Excitement reaches the Elantra If it seems strange to be getting excited about driving a Hyundai, get used to it.
Grinding Gears Brendan McAleer
The Koreans set their pace years ago with the zippy little Tiburon, followed it up with the genuinely quick Genesis Coupe, and are now taking the fight to the sport compact segment with the Sport version of the Elantra. The Elantra is already a handsome little car, and
drives with a certain amount of zip. What’s missing from the formula is a willing engine: the base 2.0-litre inline four makes 147 horsepower, reasonable for the segment, but the chassis feels like it could take more. Enter the Elantra Sport, Hyundai’s answer to cars like the Nismo Sentra and the upcoming Honda Civic Si. Hyundai’s added some turbocharged flavour to their
compact sedan, and then topped it off with specialized suspension tuning and a few exterior upgrades. Mind you, every manufacturer these days has much the same idea. Turbocharging is widespread, and dialing up a firmer suspension and some go-fast looks is easy to do. It’s also easy to get wrong. The question becomes: has Hyundai simply mailed it
in, or have they managed to make something exciting?
DESIGN Hyundai’s styling remains a bright spot in an industry where extreme aggression reigns supreme. Instead of floating roofs and spindleshaped grilles, we get sharply European styling and a reserved-but-tweaked appearance. The Sport has bigger side
air intakes than the standard Elantra, but aside from the front it’s just as reserved as a Golf GTI. The standard 18-inch multi-spoke alloys add just the right amount of visual heft to the side profile, and the twin-tip rear exhaust looks relatively muted. If you start looking at what Honda’s done to the standard Civic, the Elantra Sport is a

Rolls-Royce working on luxury SUV A biweekly roundup of automotive news, good, bad and just plain weird:
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan, still in the secret development phase, is named after a South African diamond magnate. It’s probably going to be pretty expensive. PHOTO SUPPLIED ROLLS-ROYCE
JIM PATTISON VOLVO OF NORTH VANCOUVER
THIS IS THE MOSTAWARDED SUV OF THE CENTURY.
MEET ROLLS-ROYCE’S SUV: PROJECT CULLINAN Thomas Cullinan was a South African bricklayerturned-diamond-magnate; he made his fortune at the dawn of the 20th century. The largest diamond ever found was discovered in one of his mines, a 3,106.75 carat monster that was cut into several smaller diamonds, including the Star of Africa. So, a name that seeks to establish a heritage with the Crown Jewels themselves, attached to a gargantuan SUV with styling like the Cliffs of Dover. Rolls-Royce isn’t run by idiots – they’ve taken one look at the profitability of the Bentley Bentayga and decided to have a go at building their own luxury-utility whatever. Dubbed Project Cullinan, this mega-diamond in the rough can currently be seen running around in camouflage, working out the technical kinks. In the plus column, there is no way the Cullinan will turn out to be worse than the Bentayga, which is uglier than an inside-out rhinoceros. The Bentayga looks bad in
Braking News Brendan McAleer pictures, but I am happy to report that in person it’s even worse. The Cullinan at least has the proper dimensions of a Rolls, with a lengthy front end. The rest is basically the Rolls-Royce Range Rover, and you can expect both an eye-watering price tag and seats made out of minks and leprechauns. If they make one with dual belt-fed Lewis machine guns, I will tip my cap to the Cullinan, in light of the armoured Rolls-Royces. Otherwise, it’s just the world’s biggest cubic zirconium. DODGE CHALLENGER GETS ALL-WHEEL DRIVE Care to dispute the clumsy muscle car image with a little
frolic in the snow? The new Dodge Challenger GT has a trick up its sleeve: power to all four wheels. Like the related all-wheeldrive versions of the Charger, the Challenger GT is only available with a 305 horsepower V-6, and you can’t get it with a manual transmission. It also rides higher than the standard car, and it has to be said that the wheels aren’t the most attractive pattern out there. So what? Rip ‘em off and slap on some steelies with the most aggressive winter tires you can find. Then, drive up to the North Pole so you can deliver your wish list to Santa in person. DOT EYES MANDATORY V2V COMMUNICATION Ideally, we’d all do a better job of talking to each other in traffic. People wouldn’t forget to use their turn signals, drivers and pedestrians would remember to make eye contact, you’d always wave after a merge; basically, you’d try to make sure the lines of communication were open. But if people can’t manage to talk to each other, maybe cars can instead.

model of restraint, and that’s a good thing. Luckily, there’s a little more going on underneath the sheetmetal. ENVIRONMENT Fitted with nicely bolstered seats that should still be comfortable for the daily commute, the Elantra Sport’s interior is a welcoming place to be. Again, it’s slightly Germanic in layout, as if Hyundai is cribbing a few details from VW. For the most part, that’s a good thing, with a plain-butsmart cabin and a few sporty features like a flat-bottomed steering wheel and aluminium pedals. The rear seats offer plenty of space, and the trunk is a useful 407 litres. The basic touchscreen interface on this particular Elantra Sport was easy to navigate. If you’d like a little more punch to the stereo, the optional Tech package adds an Infinity eight-speaker system and touchscreen navigation. It’s an extra $2,500, but seems worth the price. PERFORMANCE With a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder cranking out 201 h.p., the Elantra Sport provides just
enough gumption to be interesting to drive, yet balanced. Peak power comes at 6,000 r.p.m., with peak torque of 195 foot-pounds at 4,500 r.p.m. Down low grunt is good, and the turbocharged engine activates early. A dual-clutch seven-speed transmission is on offer, but happily this week’s tester came with a rarity: a genuine six-speed manual. Shifts were light and the clutch could have a little more feel, but the Elantra Sport was very easy to drive. Better yet, the chassis of this car hasn’t quite reached its potential. A new multi-link rear suspension replaces the twist-beam of the basic Elantra, and is a little more agile over rough surfaces. Better yet, the suspension manages to be tauter than the standard Elantra without making the ride too stiff for the average consumer. The steering is also greatly improved. It still lacks ultimate feel, something that most electrically-assisted racks suffer from, but it does have more weight and a quicker ratio. A tide of snowy, slushy weather highlighted the Elantra’s slightly numb steering, but the little car plowed through the poor weather with ease.
The cabin of the Elantra Sport is a welcoming place, with comfortable seats and a simple, smart layout that includes a few sporty touches such as a flat-bottomed steering wheel and aluminum pedals. PHOTO SUPPLIED HYUNDAI And, taken as a whole, it’s quite good fun. There will be sportier offerings in this segment, especially as Honda readies the new, turbocharged Civic Si, but the
Elantra Sport provides a nice blend between driving fun and sensible practicality. FEATURES Speaking of numb hands
on the steering wheel, it’s worth noting that a heated steering wheel is standard on the Elantra Sport, as are heated seats. A six-speaker stereo is also standard, as
is a blind spot monitoring system, projector headlights, and a proximity key. Basically, even the base

RINSPEED OASIS IS A GARDENER’S DELIGHT When the autonomous future arrives, all sorts of previously silly ideas will become possible. Without a human driver, we’ll have everything up to and including a mobile pub that picks up customers as it drives along. Hang on, I’m patenting that idea. Rinspeed, the wacky Swiss firm known for building
a Lotus that turns into a submarine, along with other oddities, has decided that what the autonomous car really needs is a garden. The Oasis is a fully electric wheeled pod that looks a bit like a minivan, a bit like a greenhouse, and a bit like a shuttle from Star Trek. It’s got room for two passengers, there’s a rear box that opens to fit pizza boxes for some reason, and there’s a little garden in the nose of the car. It all sounds pretty weird, even for Europe. However, the Oasis does at least point out an important point. Once cars don’t need to be designed around the driver, they’ll have to turn into mobile living rooms – the interior designers of the future will be working on cars.

Of course, such a rule would also mean that your car was broadcasting information about where you were going, and how fast you were going.

GREEN LIGHT Nicely styled; zippy engine; smartly trimmed cabin; lots of features for the price.
STOP SIGN Sporty but not quite a full performance offering;
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2016
The rear seats of the Elantra Sport provide plenty of space, and there’s also a useful trunk. PHOTOS SUPPLIED HYUNDAI
With a 1-6-litre turbocharged engine, the Elantra Sport provides enough gumption yet remains balanced.
Sport model practical and fun
From page 43 steering is still a little numb.
Elantra Sport is very well equipped for its $24,999 starting price. It’s a sporty choice, but again a practical one. Fuel economy is pretty good for a zippy little car like this, with the caveat that the gentler you drive, the better your real world results will be. Official figures for the manual are 10.7 (litres/100 kilometres) in the city and 7.8 on the highway, with the dual-clutch netting 8.9 city and 7.0 on the highway. THE CHECKERED FLAG Fun, practical, and good value. You can have your Hyundai cake and eat it too.
Competition
NISSAN SENTRA NISMO ($TBD) Another feature-laden sporty compact, the Nismo variant of the Sentra joins the 370Z and the mighty GT-R in offering maximum performance to Nissan fans. In the case of the Sentra, that means a 188 h.p. 1.6-litre turbocharged engine, similar to the one you get in the Juke. Slightly roomier than the Elantra, the standard Sentra is also a very soft car – Nissan will have their work cut out for them trying to make this economy-minded machine into a legitimate performer. When it hits the road early next year, it’ll have to work hard to beat the Elantra Sport. mcaleeronwheels@gmail.com
