FACILITIES FAIL TO MEET STANDARD
Seniors care short-staffed, advocate says BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
Not one of the seven publicly subsidized seniors care homes on the North Shore is meeting the provincial guidelines for staffing of nurses and support workers.
B.C. seniors advocate Isobel Mackenzie released her annual tally on Wednesday showing only 10 per cent of all public care homes in the province were meeting the guideline of 3.36 hours of staff time per patient per day for direct care like bathing and hygiene or help with eating and social interaction. The report also compiles incidents that put seniors at risk like disease outbreaks, abuse or neglect, missing or wandering persons, medication errors, falls resulting in injuries, and aggression between persons in care. Kiwanis Care Centre in the Seymour area ranked closest to the provincial staffing guidelines at 3.29 hours, however, with 22 cases of aggression, it exceeded the provincial average by about 7.5 times. (In 2016, the Kiwanis manager said the facility has a very low threshold for what it considers aggression and only one of those cases resulted in an injury).

LISA DAWN MACPHERSON
‘A ray of sunshine’: friends remember homicide victim JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com
The Bridgman Park Trail that runs beside North Vancouver’s Lynn Creek is a quiet place. Sword ferns sprout in the nearby forest floor and slim trees lean over the trail, covered with moss. The creek washes over stones.
It was here, on Nov. 28, that a dog walker made a grisly discovery: a charred body inside a picnic shelter. It took another six weeks before homicide investigators publicly identified the victim as 41-year-old Lisa Dawn MacPherson of North Vancouver. Those who knew MacPherson were shocked and left struggling to understand what happened.

TREVOR LAUTENS: TORY LEADERSHIP HOPEFUL TOUCHES DOWN IN WEST VAN PAGE 8
‘She was like a ball of energy’ From page 1 “I was blown away. I’m still trying to figure it out,” said Geoff Ingeberg, a friend who first met MacPherson when she worked as a welder on the Millennium Line in the late 1990s. They connected again years later on Facebook. When MacPherson needed a place to stay in 2015, she moved in with Ingeberg at his home in Langley. “She had a way to light up a room with her smile,” he said. Jimmy Webster had a six-year relationship with MacPherson and worked with her at Allied Shipyards in North Vancouver. “For me she was like a ball of energy,” said Webster. In the good times, they lived together in Squamish and spent time exploring nearby peaks. “We’d hike to the top of Diamond Head and watch the sunset,” he said. He remembers her glee at fun events like a family Easter egg hunt. “She’d get so excited,” he said. He found out about her death when someone texted him a newspaper story. He read about her described as transient and homeless. His first thought was “No. She’s a mother and funloving person and she’s full of energy. She loves her children.
Flowers adorn a padlocked construction fence surrounding the shelter where the body of Lisa Dawn MacPherson was found in November. Friends remember the mother of two, pictured above, as an independent spirit and a fun-loving person full of energy. PHOTOS (LEFT) JANE SEYD/(RIGHT) SUPPLIED She had a big heart.” Today, a padlocked yellow construction fence surrounds the shelter where MacPherson’s body was found. A bouquet of pink and yellow roses has recently been threaded through the fence. A framed photo of her sits inside the fence, next to a concrete pillar covered in graffiti. Six red roses lie withered, next to a dark stain on the concrete. There is a card that incongruously reads “Happy Birthday.” The day she was
publicly identified by police she would have turned 42. A laminated sign from homicide investigators is duct taped to a concrete pillar, asking anyone with information to call them. MacPherson grew up not far from where she was found, in a middle-class cul-de-sac across Lynn Creek. She was one of three girls in the family who went to Lynnmour elementary. Her father was president of the shipyard workers union. Neighbours remember it as a tight-knit
community where kids played out on the street. MacPherson is remembered as an independent spirit. She was a young mom and left home early. Those who knew her say she struggled in relationships with men that didn’t seem good for her. Later, as a single mom to two kids – a son and a daughter – she earned her welding ticket and got her first job working for Bombardier on the SkyTrain line. “She was the first female welder I ever
met,” said Ingeberg. “She was competent,” said Malcolm McLaren, whose family founded Allied Shipbuilders. “She wasn’t the type to complain. She did what the guys did.” McLaren didn’t know her well. “It’s very sad,” he said. “She fell from grace. I don’t know how she got into the situation. “She was a working person with kids and things just worked out terribly.” According to Webster, a downward slide began
about three years ago when MacPherson started taking methamphetamine. “I don’t know this Lisa,” he said. “I tried to talk her out of it. . . . Everything changed.” The couple split up and MacPherson left Squamish. By then she was also estranged from her family, according to friends. She stayed with Ingeberg for a while, who said she told him at the time she was afraid of being stalked. She changed

EDUCATION: STUDENT ASSESSMENT
Schools seek parent input on report card changes
ROSALIND DUANE rduane@nsnews.com
The days of sneaky students crafting a D into a B with the stroke of a pen are long gone since report cards went digital decades ago. And the evolution of academic reporting continues.
This past September, North Vancouver School District moved to paperless report cards for all classes in both elementary and high schools, along with other tweaks. Now students and parents in West Vancouver are being asked for input on potential changes to reporting by taking an online survey that asks about frequency, format and content.
West Vancouver superintendent of schools Chris Kennedy explained that the move comes on the heels of curriculum changes introduced by the province last year. New research and a shift in thinking about student assessment in general has opened the door for a broader discussion about communicating student learning, which naturally includes reporting on student progress. Kennedy said it seems like the right time to look at the ways schools are talking with parents and the kind of information parents want, especially with digital tools. There may be new ways parents would prefer for schools to communicate with them, he noted.
“In elementary schools there has definitely been new research and a shift in thinking that letter grades, for example, are sometimes not the best way to communicate how students are doing, that sometimes using letter grades end conversations and they don’t give useful information to parents about what they can do to help support their child improve,” explained Kennedy. “What we’ve been hearing from parents is especially as some teachers began to use new digital ways to communicate through online portfolios or hosting marks online that (that) was something the parents really appreciated. And so what are the ways that we could communicate more
regularly digitally, I think, is something we’re hearing more from parents.” North Vancouver School District has been using online tools since the start of the new school year. Although the amount of reporting is the same, the format is different and some schools are offering two report cards plus an in-person conference between students, parents, and teachers instead of the traditional three-report-cardsa-year approach. School district spokeswoman Deneka Michaud said a new reporting order from the ministry in conjunction with the new curriculum allowed for more flexibility. A pilot project is also in place at five North
Vancouver schools that involves teachers using an iPad app to provide ongoing, even daily, communication with parents that may include photos and videos of what the students are doing in class. The project is a move away from summative assessment. “This approach allows them to do ongoing formative assessment,” explained Michaud. “What they’re doing is they’re regularly assessing the kids.” The North Vancouver changes were made without parent input but teachers have been surveyed for their opinions about the new systems. “As always, teachers are available and are in regular contact with parents, so
report cards are one way to provide parents a snapshot of the learning at that time, but there are many other methods as well – and those lines of communication are open,” said Michaud. For West Van schools, shifts in reporting could start as early as this spring and be applied by next school year depending on survey results. “What parents say is that so many other places in their life (have) more ongoing communication . . . but often with schools it’s a paper report card three times a year,” said Kennedy. “This seems like a time to modernize that.” Students and parents are welcome to have their say at westvancouverschools.ca.

West Van to fund affordable housing Dedicated municipal fund now around $5M BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
District of West Vancouver council is putting its money where its mouth is when it comes to affordable housing.
Council voted unanimously Monday night to establish a reserve fund specifically to pay for affordable housing projects. In July 2016, council changed its policy to begin allowing cash in lieu of other community amenity contributions from developers in exchange for extra density. Council put that into practice in October with the approval of the Sewell’s Landing development in Horseshoe Bay, which included $4 million in cash for the district. The Hollyburn Gardens project approved the following month put up another $700,000. Having a designated fund
will allow the district to leverage more cash or grants from senior levels of government and from non-profits for affordable housing projects, according to district staff. Mayor Michael Smith said it was an important motion for council to pass. “We’re not trying to create housing for everyone who wants to live in West Vancouver. We can’t create 30 million housing units. But what we are trying to do is make sure we have a complete community,” he said, noting that means housing that works for people in a range of ages or abilities, or even district staff. “It gives council a lot of tools to tweak our housing stock to meet the needs of the community.” With “shrewd” use of council’s land assets, it should be possible to bulk up the fund quickly, he added. The district owns several plots of land it is eyeing for affordable housing. This includes a large property on the 2100 block of Gordon Avenue the district purchased from Vancouver Coastal Health for $16 million in 2014. The move was supported
“wholeheartedly” by housing advocates. At the last count, there were at least 8,990 households on the North Shore experiencing “core housing need,” meaning they spent at least 50 per cent of their income on shelter costs, according to Don Peters, chairman of the community housing action committee. “I urge you, as I do the other two municipalities on the North Shore, to be as opportunistic as you can deciding where this money goes,” he said. “Approval of this bylaw, ladies and gentlemen, will be an important message to everybody.” West Vancouver’s official community plan does call for the creation of affordable housing. Both the province and the federal government have announced funding will be made available for affordable housing projects. As reported in Wednesday’s North Shore News, annual population estimates recently released by the province reveal that West Vancouver is the fastest shrinking municipality in the Lower Mainland, something Smith attributed, in part, to a lack of affordable housing.
Setting it straight The District of North Vancouver is reviewing the implementation of its official community plan, which relates to the pace
of development, traffic congestion, and the supply of affordable housing. The district is not reviewing the OCP itself, which, due to
an editing error, was how it was stated in the Jan. 25 front-page article West Vancouver’s Population Shrank in 2016.

Advocate calls on province for increased funding to care homes From page 1

PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD
Evergreen House at Lions Gate Hospital posted 3.26 hours, although it did exceed provincial averages for injuries, wandering seniors and medication errors. The Lynn Valley Care Centre has 3.08 hours of funded care time per patient per day and did not exceed provincial averages for any reportable incidents. Cedarview Lodge in Lynn Valley had 2.99 hours per patient per day and none of the reported incidents exceeded the provincial averages. In West Vancouver, Inglewood Care Centre on Sentinel Hill posted 2.78 hours of care. It also had almost three times the cases of falls/adverse events resulting in injuries compared to the rest of the province, as well as slightly higher incidences of outbreaks, wandering seniors, aggression, and other injuries. The Capilano Care Centre is funded for 2.73 direct care hours and had higher than average incidences of
falls resulting in injuries, wandering seniors, aggression between residents and other injuries, according to the report. West Vancouver Care Centre had the lowest recorded hours of patient care time at 2.31 hours, but had fewer than the average cases of all reportable incidents. Mackenzie is calling on the province to increase funding and bring in stringent monitoring of care hours. “Not getting enough hours of care has potentially serious impacts on seniors who are living in these environments,” Mackenzie said in a statement. “It can mean they are not being taken to the bathroom when they need to, they may not be getting fed properly, meaning they don’t receive proper nutrition, and the list goes on.” The B.C. Hospital Employees Union secretarybusiness manager Jennifer Whiteside said the report is shocking. “It certainly puts some figures to what our

members tell us every day about the crisis in staffing that is out there in the longterm care sector,” Whiteside said. The seniors care system has been underfunded and plagued by privatization and contract flipping for a decade, Whiteside added. “Care homes are bought and sold like real estate,” she said. The province’s guidelines should be the minimum, Whiteside said, and they should be enforced by legislation. “Having guidelines is not enough. If 90 per cent of the care facilities in the province are not providing

a basic minimum standard that’s been identified by the ministry of health, then something is very wrong in the system,” she said. In a statement, the province’s parliamentary secretary for seniors Darryl Plecas welcomed the report and pledged to improve support for seniors. “Last year, B.C. spent $2.9 billion on home and community care, an increase of over $1.3 billion from 2001,” the statement read. “The standard we are most focused on is having care providers deliver highquality care at whatever level is most appropriate for an individual resident.”

A touch of grey
A
nother year, another report that finds the province is failing to meet its own guidelines when it comes to staffing at seniors care homes. Except now, we’re actually losing ground. Where it was 80 per cent of care homes not providing the recommended 3.36 hours of direct care per patient, per day last year, it’s now 90 per cent. In its defence, the province notes that it is spending $1.3 billion more per year now than it did in 2001, which would be laudable if we had the same number of seniors needing care. We don’t. B.C.’s seniors advocate is calling for the province to increase funding to ensure our parents and grandparents are getting the help they need when it comes to the necessities and the comforts we all agree they deserve. Oftentimes, they’re vulnerable and not on a solid enough footing to advocate for themselves.
But these numbers, troubling as they are, only apply to the residents who are living in government-funded care homes now. Outside the system, there are long waits to get in. This is going to become painfully relevant as the baby boomers go from the generation looking for safe and comfortable accommodations for the parents, to the generation trying to get crammed into the existing infrastructure. If we want a more humane system, we need to start investing in it now. That may include more home care, which is the direction the federal government is now favouring. The one piece of good news in the seniors advocate’s report was that the number of seniors being given antipsychotic medication without a diagnosis of psychosis is going down. But, as the song goes: every silver lining has got a touch of grey.
Tory leadership hopeful touches down in West Van
A
gent 6ki4nsP is one of my shrewdest agents. He also describes himself as more right-wing than Genghis Khan. So it was revolutionary when he announced admiration for Justin Trudeau, whose character and decency impressed him in personal contacts when Trudeau lived on this coast. One year after Trudeau’s October 2015 election victory, 6ki4nsP and I met in full prediction mode. His forecast: “After two years in government the Liberals will implode (i.e. in autumn 2017).” Mine – ever the light-hearted lad – was: “The Liberals will hold the centre and move both left and right, pushing Conservatives and New Democrats to the extreme margins, and the Liberals will rule forever
This Just In Trevor Lautens and ever. Ah, men. And women.’’ Some would say Agent 6ki4nsP erred by a year – that Trudeau’s honeymoon resoundingly crashed late last year. Not me. I’m not that optimistic.
CONTACTUS
!!! That said, Conservative
leadership candidate Michael Chong touched down at a party gathering at former MP John Weston’s West Vancouver abode this month. Both spoke exceedingly well – to this jaded ear, measured and thoughtfully. Leavened with wit: Weston, introducing Chong, rolled out his attributes, turned to wave him on, then faced back: “I forget to mention, he can also walk on water.” Water-walking aside, and without my pressing the flesh of the 13 other aspirants, Chong looks almost straight from central casting for the leadership. To cite only the superficial: Bright but revealing only a fraction of his brightness (classically Canadian), Hong Kong father and Dutch mother, small-town Ontario background. Had the rare jam to resign from Stephen Harper’s
cabinet, opposing its motion to recognize the Quebecois as a distinct nation in a united Canada. Electable – unlike, say I, temporary media fave Kevin O’Leary. !!! It’s late, but happy birthday – her 105th! – to Mrs. Ann Reynolds, mother of peerless West Vancouver chronicler and former councillor Carolanne Reynolds. The birthday girl, in good health and wheelchair-bound only in the last year, was able to get out for dinner on the big day, Dec. 29, at the Sutton Place Hotel. !!! Correction: It’s Corus Entertainment, not Chorus, as misspelled in my last column. Embarrassing. I own
Corus stock. Unfortunately. !!! The deaths days apart of Gary and Carol Troll, whose always packed restaurant is Action Central in Horseshoe Bay, had a local history dimension – they were collectors. The restaurant walls are enriched by syndicated caricaturist and delightful character Kerry Waghorn’s depictions of prominent personages of West Van and beyond. They amused countless patrons waiting for a table and for Troll’s signature fish and chips. !!! It’s lonely up here. Every West Vancouver councillor voted for it. Not one council candidate in the November byelection

questioned it. The West Vancouver Chamber of Commerce cheered it. So, like the man in the blues song who couldn’t dance, who “don’t have rhythm/so nobody’s with him,” I’m the loneliest man in town in slamming the Dispiriting Trail link from 13th to 18th Street. Concrete planters separating twowheelers from two-leggers on the 13th Street end of Argyle were erected almost on the day of the byelection. What a coincidence. I asked WV town hall last year how beach-bound families would cross the trail: Tiny tots with sand buckets in hand, the old and unsteady of foot … I hope I’m breaking your heart. Silence. I suspect the boosters suppressed the fact

Do you support B.C.’s new liquor laws? Some beer with your beard trimming? Or how about a glass of Gewurztraminer while perusing pages at the bookstore. This is the future. B.C.’s new liquor laws came into effect this week, opening the door for alcohol to be served in places other than pubs and restaurants. The relaxed regulations pave the way for the elimination of beer gardens by allowing an entire event to be licensed. Also, hotel guests can carry bar drinks back to their rooms and minors can go to pubs with their parents. What do you think? Weigh in at nsnews.com. – Maria Spitale-Leisk

Cynthia Duoma North Vancouver
“Yes because B.C.’s liquor laws have been archaic compared to the rest of the world.”
Rudy Duoma North Vancouver
“Yes. It’s time we embraced the ability to make our own decisions when and where we should be able to purchase wine.”
What:
A Public Hearing for Bylaw 8197, a proposed amendment to the Zoning Bylaw to permit the development of a three storey, twenty-three unit townhouse at 854, 858 & Lot 5 Orwell Street and 855 Premier Street.
When:

Jacey Claus North Vancouver
“I think it’s a good idea, but I still think they should limit it. Say you’re an alcoholic . . . would you want liquor served there (in a bookstore)?”
Loressa Davis North Vancouver
“They should only have adults in the stores if they are going to do something like that (serve alcohol), or maybe have an area sectioned off. ”
Jeff Arsenault North Vancouver
“It is making it easier for underage people to access alcohol but benefits the people who felt the liquor laws were too restrictive.”

Flush less and you may just help lower utility fees in future Dear Editor: Re: Charges Don’t Add Up, Dec. 30 Mailbox. Mr. (Doug) Kay’s letter gives me an opportunity to clarify my comments regarding increases to the water and sewer utility rates approved by West Vancouver council at the Dec. 5 meeting. With the approved 5.5 per cent increase, the median single-family household can expect to pay $619
in water utility fees in 2017. From a value proposition, I pointed out that this represents approximately $1.70 per day ($619/365) “to turn on your tap.” Similarly, with the approved 10 per cent increase, the median singlefamily household can expect to pay $945 in sewer utility fees in 2017. This represents approximately $2.60 per day ($945/365) “to flush your toilet.” I made no assumptions
about the number of times residents flush their toilets per day, but as a household’s sewer fees are calculated in part using data from a household’s water meter, there are opportunities to reduce both fees by conserving water, including flushing less often. I thank Mr. Kay for his question. Mary-Ann Booth Councillor, District of West Vancouver
Spandexed speeders spill onto streets From page 8 as bad for their hype. The answer is: Zebra crossings (!), which the hearty kind of recreational cyclists will obey, as they do stop signs, red lights, and any impediments to their spandex speeding. Yeah, right. More than 100 parking spaces lost. Businesses hurt. Relaxed strolling and neighbourly chatting replaced by regimented lines of pedestrians and show-off cyclists. Prediction: Some cycling packs will choose Bellevue and its
motor traffic rather than share the bike lane with meandering cyclists and pedalling kiddies, as many do when slowed down on the trail’s present easterly link from Park Royal to 13th – they spill onto the dedicated motor lane, smiling at annoyed drivers. And how many cyclists did you see on Lions Gate Bridge in the recent cold spell? In snow and ice, even those who regularly cycle to work – skilled, properly equipped and observant of traffic laws (applause for them) – have to use other
transportation. Excuse the personal testament: I delivered telegrams in my mid-teens, and a Christmas holiday stint navigating icy Ontario streets lives in memory. I never slid, slipped, flipped. Angel-watched. Gregor Robertson can preen until green as Ireland about his agenda, but Vancouver’s clownish mayor can’t overcome the bicycle’s limitations concerning riders’ age, strength, and physical ability or disability, let alone weather, terrain, and more. rtlautens@gmail.com

What changes?
Bylaw 8197 proposes to amend the District’s Zoning Bylaw by creating a new Comprehensive Development Zone 98 (CD98) and rezone the subject site from Residential Single Family 7200 Zone (RS3) to CD98 to allow the development of a three storey, twenty-three unit townhouse. The CD98 Zone addresses use, density, amenities, setbacks, site coverage, building height, landscaping and parking.

Investigation into North Van homicide still active

her email addresses and phone numbers frequently and dropped off social media. One day last year she told Ingeberg she was going to get her life on track. “She seemed very positive,” he said. “She seemed very sure everything was OK. And that I’d hear from her very soon.” But after that, MacPherson was in and out of the North Shore homeless shelter, sometimes sleeping rough outside.
Ranald MacDonald spoke to her a few times during that period. “She was friendly, she was personable, she was outgoing,” he said. “From what I understand she was living in an abandoned house over by Norgate.” Elizabeth Patriquin also knew MacPherson when she was homeless. “She was the kindest, nicest, beautiful soul,” said Patriquin. “She was a bright ray of sunshine.” Patriquin said what happened to MacPherson was
tragic. “You don’t let homeless girls stay on the streets,” she said. “Lisa was a good girl. She got messed up with the wrong people. She fell on hard times. The people who should have been there for her weren’t.” MacPherson’s family declined to comment for this story. The investigation into her death remains active. Anyone with info can call the IHIT info line at 1-877-5514448 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Something fishy going on at Presentation House Theatre
Salmon stories ! Salmon Girl, Presentation House Theatre, Raven Spirit Dance production created by Michelle Olson and Quelemia Sparrow, Jan. 27, 28, 29 and Feb. 3, 4, 5; Fridays at 7 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays at 1 p.m. JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com
A wolf brought them together for salmon. Three days before the premiere of their new play/dance piece/puppet show Salmon Girl, playwright Quelema Sparrow and choreographer Michelle Olson discuss the origins of both the show and their partnership. As cast and crew scatter for their lunch break, Sparrow and Olson sit side by side outside the Presentation House Theatre stage, generously offering beginnings and endings for
each other’s sentences. “It was Michelle’s desire to write a TYA (theatre for young audiences) show. And then you asked me: ‘Do you want to create a TYA show?’” Sparrow recalls with an infectious laugh. “And then we said: ‘What do we want to write it about?’” They met through the play, The Ice Wolf, (Sparrow co-starred with Olson’s husband) and now share the shorthand and shared sense of humour indispensable among close collaborators. Their newest venture evolved over years of workshops, revisions, and the type of conversation that starts with, ‘You know what might work …’ But the basis was always salmon. The fish wind through the centuries of Musqueam culture, Sparrow explains. She’d heard some stories as a child but it was between semesters at theatre school while
working for the research department in her band’s office that she struck the richest vein. “I read a bunch of stories there that I hadn’t even heard before,” she laughs, recalling a wide variety of “crazy salmon stories.” When Sparrow and Olson decided to work together on Salmon Girl, they began by swapping tales. “I heard stories from Michelle’s nation and then I told her some stories from this region,” Sparrow says. “(Salmon Girl) itself is a combination of Quelemia’s Musqueam First Nation community and my (Tr’ondek Hwech’in) community in the Yukon,” Olson explains. “We’ve combined these two traditional stories and made them into a contemporary story.” Salmon Girl, as Olson puts it, is intended to “hold the teachings” of those stories, “There’s a reason why these stories have
been around for so long and there’s a reason why I want to keep passing them on: because there’s incredible knowledge in these stories that we need,” Sparrow explains. “For me, it’s about bringing traditional storytelling to life again, and keeping that tradition alive.” By hopefully appealing to children and adults, the play will remind its audience “how to care for the rivers and how to care for the oceans” so that salmon runs can flourish. “It’s the function of stories. Stories are meant to inspire, to guide, to teach. And that, I think, is vital,” Olson says. The play will have its chance to inspire, guide and teach approximately 1,700 elementary students scheduled to see the show’s weekday matinees at Presentation House Theatre.

The youthful North Shore Celtic Ensemble and seasoned Lions Gate Sinfonia are fusing for a “string fling” concert that will turn classical music on its ear.
“It’s funny, we have a Clyde and a Claude working on this one,” says longtime Lions Gate Sinfonia music director Clyde Mitchell, ahead of another collaboration with the North Shore Celtic Ensemble. Claude Giguère is the artistic director of the Celtic Ensemble, comprised of young musicians who perform a spirited original repertoire with influences of Celtic, jazz, classical and folk music. The Celtic Ensemble has come together with the Lions Gate Sinfonia, made up of professional union musicians who dedicate their life to
Tugging at the Heart Strings showcases string section of Lions Gate Sinfonia working in tandem with the North Shore Celtic Ensemble. PHOTO SUPPLIED their craft, on several occasions since 2011. This Saturday’s concert at Centennial Theatre, Tugging at the Heart Strings, will do exactly that. String music, with each vibration, whether plucked or bowed, evokes powerful emotions for the listening audience. The strings sections from both North Shore orchestras will collide for a “very interesting” collaboration. For the younger musicians this style of music is in their wheelhouse, as the Celtic Ensemble is innately a violin and fiddle group. Meanwhile it’s the perfect vehicle, says Mitchell, for the LGS to showcase their string section.
“In this case, I decided to do just a nice big string fling,” he explains. Mitchell is excited to once again join forces with the young virtuosos. “Those kids are just phenomenal,” he says of the Celtic Ensemble. “They play by memory. And they stand and they walk around and they move and dance.” Giguère and Mitchell worked together to create a strings accompaniment and combine their playing styles into one entertaining evening of instrumental music. Mitchell brought one of the greatest strings works ever made to the table, by a little composer named Mozart.
“It’s called ‘Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.’ It’s a big mouthful,” says Mitchell. The beautiful serenade that is “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” contains four different movements, each with its own flavour. The first movement is fun, bouncy and light; the second is sweet and exquisite, almost like a song; the third is very dance-like, and the fourth just goes flying like the wind, describes Mitchell. “But I’ve got a really cool twist on it,” teases Mitchell. “We are going to do it in reverse order.” So what will the instrumental outcome be?

Clothing starts mental illness conversation
QA and
PAY IT FORWARD
MARIA SPITALE-LEISK mspitale-leisk@nsnews.com
Lower Lonsdale resident Mikaela Karram, who suffered for years with severe anxiety and depression, decided to pay it forward with a charitable clothing line of the same name and committing random acts of kindness.
Karram’s friends and family put lottery tickets on cars, money in vending machines, fresh flowers on old gravestones, brought dog toys to shelters and bought people meals and groceries. The Handsworth grad started Pay It Forward Gear – tanks, T-shirts and hats – as a way to help erase the stigma around mental illness, with 10 per cent of proceeds going to mindcheck.ca, which provides support resources to teens and young adults. North Shore News: How did you know you were struggling with depression and anxiety? Mikaela Karram: I felt like I had little to look forward to. It was difficult to engage in everyday life and maintaining the relationships around me became a challenge. I felt like I had lost a huge part of my life and I couldn’t figure out why.
Mikaela Karram has created a line of clothing to pay it forward and help erase the stigma of mental illness. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD North Shore News: Do you feel there is a stigma around mental illness that prevents people from getting help? Mikaela Karram: I think there still is a stigma around it for sure. For me personally, I felt
like it was a weakness. I felt like I had to keep it in the dark. I felt like I would lose people in my life if I told them exactly what was going on in my head. North Shore News: How did the random acts of kindness
lift your spirits? Mikaela Karram: The thought of doing something kind for someone who can never repay you, it is what makes this world better. Making someone’s day slowly helped to lift
my spirits, now it is something I practise often. North Shore News: How did you come up with the idea for Pay It Forward Gear? Mikaela Karram: I’ve always wanted to create a line
– creating something with such meaning is just that much better! The goal was to bring it back to people’s minds to make a change for someone else. North Shore News: What message do you hope the shirts send to those who see it? Mikaela Karram: I hope it gets people to think about doing something kind for others. I was going through one of the greatest struggles in my life, with a smile on my face – you just never know what is truly going on in someone’s life. Pay It Forward is a reminder to continue to be kind. North Shore News: Why did you chose mindcheck.ca to donate some of your proceeds to? Mikaela Karram: It is a fantastic resource for different articles on mental illness. … As one who has struggled with this, it allows you to feel some comfort in that you are not alone. North Shore News: Besides family and friends, who have been the biggest supporters of Pay it Forward? Mikaela Karram: The connections I have from made Pay it Forward Gear have been crazy! I have met philanthropists, star athletes, and other entrepreneurs. North Shore News: What can we as a society do to help people with mental illness? Mikaela Karram: Remove the stigma that there is something wrong with them. Instead listen to what they are feeling and ask how you can help support them. One of the most thoughtful messages I got from my best friend was “I did some research and we got this together!”

“Well, we are going to find out,” says Mitchell of the musical experiment. “I don’t think it’s ever been done. It’s like reading a book and starting with the last chapter and then finishing with the first chapter – we already know who wins the game, the butler did it, that sort of thing.” And just when the audience thinks the rhythmic roller coaster ride is over, another surprise is around the corner. Once the performance of “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” reaches the first movement it will jump to a famous fiddle tune called the “Orange Blossom Special,” in what Mitchell hopes will be a fun surprise for the audience. “They will say, Oh yes, I know that piece (“Eine Kleine Nachtmusik”) and then it goes into the fiddling tune. People will be absolutely shocked and thrilled I hope,” says Mitchell. In contrast to that jaunty number is an arrangement of the angst-filled and romantic “String Serenade” by Czech composer Antonín Leopold Dvorak. The evening starts with a nod to a local composer who lives in the Seymour area, Michael Conway Baker. “The only problem with him (Baker) is that he’s still alive,” says Mitchell with a laugh. “There’s a very famous saying in music that the only good music is written by dead composers, Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky.” Baker’s composition “Sinfonia for Strings” was also chosen to be performed on Saturday to acknowledge Canada 150 celebrations happening this year. Mitchell has pledged to include at least one Canadian composition
for upcoming LGS concerts. This time around it was easy to infuse some true-north-strong-and-free spirit because of the many Canadian folk and fiddling tunes. Interspersed throughout the evening are arrangements of compositions by Baroque heavyweights Bach and Telemann. During the second half, the audience will be amused when the combined orchestra turns a famous Bach tune on its ear and into a fiddling tune. While LGS and Celtic Ensemble members have been practising their parts separately, they will come together for a rehearsal at Handsworth secondary ahead of the Centennial show. It just so happens Handsworth principal David Overgaard is a bassoon player with the LGS. Mitchell says he starts every concert by thanking Overgaard for lending his ‘living room’ for the band to rehearse in. Mitchell also gives huge credit to concertmaster and violinist Andrea Siredze, a 15-year LGS veteran. “She is absolutely an essential member of our orchestra,” says Mitchell. “She is so important to us because the concert master, she is the one who stands up at the beginning and makes sure everyone is in tune. “It’s symbolic, I shake her hand and that represents shaking everyone’s hands and thanking everyone for their efforts.” Mitchell has another musical treat up his sleeve for Saturday. If you listen carefully, at one point you will hear an Iranian folk song, a special tribute that Mitchell arranged for a sponsor of the concert.

Creators see show as a theatrical bridge Salmon Girl is the rare production that has rehearsed on the same spot it will be performed. “We have the theatre for the full time that we’re rehearsing, which actually doesn’t happen very often,” Olson points out. “I feel like the piece started here.” Besides the Chesterfield Avenue location, it also feels appropriate for the play to be staged on the North Shore, according to Sparrow. “The North Shore has some really amazing creeks … there’s a couple projects
that are happening along the North Shore that are really trying to revitalize the salmon,” Sparrow says. While both Sparrow and Olson would happily receive applause inside the 150-seat theatre, what they really want is for the show to become a “bridge outside of the theatre,” Sparrow explains. Given the abundance of waterways that flow through the North Shore, Sparrow wants theatregoers to realize how close they are to these “points of nature that we can still really take care of … even if you’re on Lonsdale and Second.”

Huppert keeps adding to impressive résumé has similarities with Bogart’s Dixon Steele in Nicholas Ray’s In a Lonely Place. They are both human paradoxes with no shut-off valves. Slowing down or changing course are not options. It’s always full steam ahead. In 2017, Huppert has already got six films on the go, either made or in preproduction, including a new one, Happy End, with Haneke.
“It’s not blood, it’s red.” – Jean-Luc Godard discussing a scene from Pierrot le fou with Cahiers du Cinéma reporters after its release in 1965) JOHN GOODMAN jgoodman@nsnews.com
Acting, for Isabelle Huppert, is an occupation.
Once the cameras are off she goes out of character and becomes herself again. There is method to what she does but the experience is not all-consuming. The French actress doesn’t take the job home with her. Film director Michael Haneke, who has worked with her on two films, (The Piano Teacher and Amour) says “(Huppert) has such professionalism, the way she is able to represent suffering. At one end you have the extreme of her suffering and then you have her icy intellectualism. No other actor can combine the two.” That dichotomy is evident throughout Huppert’s entire body of work. At 63 she has been working in film, TV and theatre since she was a teenager. The Golden Globe for Best Actress she won for her performance in Elle is just the latest in a long string
Off the Cuff
ISABELLE HUPPERT
A weekly gleaner of Internet sources and other media
Isabelle Huppert stars in Elle opening today at International Village Cinemas. PHOTO SUPPLIED of awards she has received over the years. Earlier this week her acting job was also nominated for an Oscar – only the 14th Best Actress Oscar nominee ever for a foreign language performance. The first films Elle’s director Paul Verhoeven made in his native Holland had an aggressive style more often associated with Hollywood than European art cinema. He then worked on several blockbusters stateside (RoboCop, Basic Instinct) that further
established his reputation as an in-your-face filmmaker. After his stint in the U.S. Verhoeven returned to Europe where he has continued to make films. Even though he seems completely unsuited as a collaborator for the incredibly nuanced and subtle Huppert just the opposite proves to be true. The two veterans work extremely well together on Elle creating one of Huppert’s most enigmatic characters in a career chock full of them.
Working with a lot of directors Huppert has become a master of adapting to different styles. She once compared Michael Haneke’s approach as a combination of Robert Bresson’s ascetism and Alfred Hitchcock’s perverse mind games. In Elle, Verhoeven mixes bourgeois melodrama with a film noir sensibility like Claude Chabrol referencing the pulp fictions of old Hollywood. On some levels her character, Michèle Leblanc,

Irish gypsy tale wanders aimlessly nowhere ! Trespass Against Us. Directed by Adam Smith. Starring Michael Fassbender and Brendan Gleeson. Rating: 5 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD Contributing writer
If you missed a documentary or two and didn’t get your education through the Brit import reality series “Big Fat Gypsy Weddings”, you might watch Trespass Against Us and wonder why Michael Fassbender’s camping holiday has gone so awry.
Remember the gypsy camp in Snatch, with Brad Pitt? Thematically the two films are the similar, and the accent almost as indecipherable, though Trespass is a lot less fun. Fassbender plays Chad Cutler, a member of the Irish Traveller community, an itinerant group that earns money from odd jobs, or, in the Cutler family’s case, from thievery. Chad’s group is currently causing trouble and tearing up the countryside in a scenic spot in England, their campers, vans and makeshift homes ringed around a bonfire and dotted with highchairs, trash and wandering animals.
Michael Fassbender and Brendan Gleeson play two generations of an Irish Traveller clan in Trespass Against Us. PHOTO SUPPLIED (Fassbender is the film’s biggest draw, but also its biggest problem: it’s not the actor’s fault that he’s too pretty to live in such squalor, but some greasy hair, maybe?) Colby (Brendan Gleeson) is the patriarch of this ragtag
group, a man given to holding court at the fire each night and questioning “dodgy” theories, like the earth being round, and evolution. He hates the fact that his grandkids go to school and finds every opportunity to
coax young grandson Tyson (Georgie Smith) over to the thug life. Chad has made promises to his wife (Lyndsey Marshall, the most sympathetic character in the film) that they’ll move into a proper house,
that the kids will go to school consistently, and that she won’t have to wait up each night wondering if he has been nabbed by the police. “You can’t stand up to your dad, that’s your problem.” Chad has made moves to
settle his family in the town but is too afraid to tell Col. No one outside the community will help; no one wants to be on Col’s bad side. A nighttime robbery at the home of a prominent magistrate gets botched spectacularly and results in even greater scrutiny by the local police. The job seems to have been designed by Col to sacrifice his son, or as retribution to the authorities, but it’s a plot thread that’s left dangling. We know precious little about any of the characters and are invested in none of them. Too bad, because I bet there’s a really interesting backstory there somewhere. There are one or two fleeting moments where we believe the “family first” rhetoric spewed by Colby, but overall it feels as though happenstance – not blood – brought this tribe together. Director Adam Smith tries to pump life into a lacklustre script (by Alastair Siddons) with a trio of jazzy car chases between Chad and the town’s Keystone Cops, an energetic but far-fetched reprieve from the idleness that permeates the film. The end result of Trespass Against Us is a movie as aimless as the Cutler clan itself.

Barbara Dunlop, a long-time resident of West and North Vancouver, died on Sunday, January 15, 2017 at Purdy Pavilion in Vancouver. Born in Vancouver in 1920, Barbara attended Kitsilano High School where she starred in basketball, quite an accomplishment for a person who was very determined to be five feet two and one-half inches tall. Barbara was a keen tennis player in the 1930s at the Stanley Park tennis court and later an enthusiastic golfer as one of the founding members of Seymour Golf Club in North Vancouver. Her golfing ended with the onset of macular degeneration in the early 2000s but she never missed listening to her favourite golfers’ progress on TV. Predeceased by her husband, Tom; and son Michael; she is survived by her daughter, Cathy (Ken) Danderfer; grandchildren, James (Shauna) Danderfer, Josh (Irene) Dunlop, Megan (Craig) Danderfer, and Adrienne (Ray) Kube; and three great grandchildren. The Kearney Funeral Home has been entrusted with arrangements - see more at www.kearneyfs.com

GARVIN, Donna Arline (nee Wheeler) December 19, 1935 - January 23, 2017 It is with deep regret and sadness that we announce the passing of Donna Arline Garvin after a long struggle with dementia in Chilliwack, BC on January 23, 2017. Donna was a much loved wife, mother, grandmother and sister. Donna was born in Vancouver in 1935 and grew up in East Vancouver. She attended Franklin Elementary and Vancouver Tech High School where she met Doug, the love of her life. Donna and Doug married in Vancouver in September, 1955. In 1960 they moved to North Vancouver, where they lived for over 35 years, raising their four children and contributing to the community as active members of school parent groups and the North Van soccer league. Donna developed and maintained strong and lasting friendships with neighbours on Hartford Place. Donna and Doug retired to Chilliwack where they were active members of the Thunderbirds RV Club. Donna was a bookkeeper by profession and volunteered her services to groups such as the RV Club and TOPS. Donna is survived by her husband, R.E. Douglas “Doug” Garvin of Chilliwack and her children Lyn (Wayne), Terri and Bruce (Irene); grandchildren Danielle & Nicole Parker, Kyle and Keith Garvin and Carter & Everett Denman; sister Rita (Al) Robertson and brother Alan (Diane) Wheeler. She was predeceased by her son Richard “Rick” Garvin in 2016. Though Donna will be deeply missed by her large extended set of friends and family, we are pleased she will finally be at peace. In respecting Donna’s wishes, she will be cremated and a gathering to celebrate her life will take place on Friday, February 3 at 12 noon at Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home, 45865 Hocking Ave. Chilliwack, BC. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Donna’s name can be made to the Chilliwack Alzheimer’s Resource Centre. Online condolences may be offered at www.woodlawnmtcheam.ca. Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home Chilliwack, BC | (604)793-4555
EYFORD, Franklin E. July 14, 1930 − January 21, 2017
Frank passed away peacefully on January 21, 2017 at the age of 86. Our dad was born July 14, 1930 in Siglunes, Manitoba, the youngest and last survivor of 10 children. He was predeceased by his loving wife, Irene Grace. He will be forever remembered by his children Sharon, Lori (Peter), Susan (Martin), and David (Jane) and by his grandchildren Jennifer, Michael, Stefanie, Jackson, Lucas, Matthias, and Meghan − all of whom enjoyed spending time with him. Our Dad/Afi (grandfather) was a very smart and funny man; he and we loved his jokes and the stories he told about growing up in Vogar and Dog Creek, Manitoba. He was a successful contractor and business man who loved his work, an amazing builder and a long−term planner. He was a mentor to some and a big brother to others. He was a Mason, a Shriner, and a truly kind man who benefited many, many others. But, most of all he was a family man. He was the best of all fathers and grandfathers and a wonderful provider for his family. He loved Hank Snow and, like Hank, he has moved on. Dad, Afi − we love you greatly and miss you very much. Our grateful thanks to all the staff of the Capilano Care Center and to Shohreh for their loving care. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer Foundation of Canada. There will be no service by request.
MASSEY, Paul October 9, 1929 − January 21, 2017
It is with astonishment and grief that we announce the sudden death of our husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, Paul Massey. Paul was born in New York City to Jerome and Cecilia (nee Mazzio), but moved to Canada at a young age and was thoroughly Canadian for the rest of his life. He shared a somewhat peripatetic upbringing with his siblings, John (dec.) (Patricia), Dolores (Norman, dec.), and Geraldine. Sprouting both muscles and facial hair at 13, he was a gifted athlete and an eager scholar. He attended St. Mike’s, a Jesuit school in Winnipeg, Manitoba, a life changing experience. His family eventually made their way to Vancouver in 1948. Paul met his wife, Shirley Waugh, on Adanac Street where their respective families lived. An enduring romance, a marriage, and a treasured home on the North Shore ensued. Paul and Shirley raised three daughters and shared a drive to do well, and live well. Our father was an autodidact, a proud stevedore, an early jazz collector, a Connie Mack ball coach, a businessman, a handyman, a gifted orator, an avid newspaper reader, a rock wall builder, and a creator of beauty. He had enviable self−esteem, a prodigious memory, a mercurial sense of humour, and a non−dogmatic wisdom. Our father was profoundly committed to our mother, and to his deeply rooted belief that a good man does all that he must do. This credo served him well to the end of his days. Paul leaves to mourn his wife of 67 years, Shirley Irene, and his daughters, Susan (Tony), Lara (Rick) and Cynthia (Rudy); grandchildren, Shannon (Ryan), Bonnie (Corey), Amy (Eniz), Wesley, Matthew (Katherine), Margaret Rose and Kevin; great grandchildren, Jesse, Lucy, Sophia, Charlie, Parker, Aydin and little Samuel. Today we take solace in the fact that our Dad and our "NanaPaul" had utter confidence in us and loved us all very, very much. Funeral Service Saturday, January 28 at 2 PM, North Lonsdale United Church. In lieu of flowers, a donation to North Shore Hospice Society would be appreciated. Paul had the privilege of dying in his own home, a blessing not given to everyone.
GOODALE, Margaret Campbell (Crosbie) July 2, 1916 - January 21, 2017 It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our dear Margaret on Saturday, January 21, 2017. Margaret was born in Gull Lake, Saskatchewan, the only daughter of William and Edith Crosbie. After a childhood spent in Minto, Manitoba where she started school, she grew up in Brandon where she graduated with a BA from Brandon College in 1937. She began teaching in Douglas, Manitoba in 1938 followed by schools in Foxwarren, Brandon, Manitoba; Fernie, Kelowna and North Vancouver, BC. In 1976 she married George Goodale who predeceased her in 1988. She was also predeceased by her father William in 1921 and her mother in 1997. She leaves to remember her, her stepdaughter Marianne Goodale, her husband David and sons, Simon, Christopher and Matthew, her Campbell cousins and Groves cousins. A memorial service will be held at Highlands United Church on Saturday, February 4th at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire donations may be made to Lions Gate Hospital Memorial Fund.

Camry still has a winning formula Behind The Wheel David Chao Even though Toyota has already debuted a completely redesigned version of the Camry at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show (as a 2018 model), the 2017 model is still an outstanding vehicle with first-class family car character.
As one of the best-selling vehicles in North America year after year, it’s hard to argue with the Camry’s formula: bullet-proof reliability, pleasant design, featurerich equipment, and highly refined ride and feel. On the other hand, the Camry is a pure family car, whose mission is to serve North American families in the most comfortable and reliable manner with very little regard to sportiness. This is expected to change when the 2018 model arrives later in the year complete with fancier design and a more sporting characteristic. DESIGN The Camry’s bodywork is smooth and somewhat generic – it’s a look that’s easy on the eye and pleasant for general audience. At a closer study, it is solidly built and well put together with an attention to detail and no
An all-new Camry is due out in 2018, but in the meantime you can still pick up a 2017 model and enjoy the perennial best-seller’s blend of reliability, pleasant design, comfort, high-tech equipment and refined ride. It is available at Jim Pattison Toyota in the Northshore Auto Mall. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD unsightly panel gap. The Camry’s styling hasn’t changed for 2017, carrying on the design update from a few years ago but with the addition of different alloy wheels and LED running lights. Even though the design refresh occurred in the interior and exterior in 2015, it is starting to look a little dated; good thing the car will be updated with something
completely new this year. PERFORMANCE The Toyota Camry is known for its comfortable and smooth ride and spacious interior. After driving this car over a variety of road types, it becomes obvious that Toyota’s first mission for the Camry is a smooth and refined ride. The Camry Hybrid isn’t slow either; it
is actually quicker than the regular non-Hybrid four-cylinder Camry. Fuel economy is the big factor when choosing a hybrid car, and the Camry Hybrid comes in at 5.8 (litres/100 kilometres) in the city and 6.3 on the highway. It achieves this by utilizing a 2.5-litre DOHC 16-valve VVT-I Hybrid synergy drive engine in conjunction with an
electric motor pushing out a net 200 horsepower total. You can choose between EV mode and Eco mode. The EV mode runs the car as a pure electric vehicle for short trips to the shops and around town. All Camry models are front wheel drive. The Camry Hybrid uses a CVT transmission, which is smooth around town and predictable on the highway,
although it doesn’t show much aggressiveness during hard acceleration. While the handling is balanced and the car tracks straight, the overall feel is numb and artificial. This is an area Toyota promises to change with the 2018 model, so we look forward to driving the new Camry which will

Changing speed limits is no quick fix
Road safety as a public health issue certainly fuels some lively debate.
The news that the North Shore’s medical health officer is calling for a reduction in speed limits on neighbourhood streets to 30 kilometres per hour has provoked both cheers and jeers, especially online. Public reaction seems to fall into one of two camps. First, those who correctly point out that risking lives isn’t worth the few seconds saved by not slowing down. On the other hand, there are those who also correctly point out that simply putting up a sign with a slower speed limit doesn’t actually solve anything. Here’s what we know. Over the last several years, drivers have become better protected by their cars. Never mind the old adage
still being injured and killed at unacceptable rates. It’s not like we’re talking about darting jaywalkers either – many pedestrians are actually hit while crossing in marked crosswalks. Much has been made of the rise of the petextrian – headphones in, eyes on a screen – paying more attention to composing their tweet than on their surroundings. Distracted walking has risen at the same level as distracted driving, but it’s worth pointing out that they’re not weighted equally. A distracted pedestrian is really only a danger to themselves, where a distracted driver is a danger to pretty much everybody. Thus, the slowing of traffic to allow both sides more time to see each other and navigate the roads safely makes sense overall.
Grinding Gears Brendan McAleer of “They don’t make ‘em like they used to,” you’re far better off having a crash in a modern Toyota Corolla than in an old Chevy land yacht. Cars are safer than ever. Those not protected by crumple zones and steel beams, however, have not enjoyed a similar reduction in the number of injuries. Pedestrians and cyclists are
However, there are more than a few frustrations to overcome. First, simply lowering a speed limit doesn’t necessarily lower the speed of traffic. One need only look at various parts of the Upper Levels highway to see how road design dictates people’s speed more than the limit. When it’s not a parking lot due to volume, the widening of Highway 1 to six lanes near Lonsdale always seems to speed up westbound traffic that has slowed down between the top of the cut and the Lonsdale exit. Where the road squeezes together and curves left and right, people slow down. When it clears ahead, they speed up. The limit is theoretically the same in both cases, but people push the envelope when they feel safe to do so.

with respect to where the worst intersections are, so perhaps we could begin there. Further, maybe we could adopt a morbid practice used in Ireland. Any time you enter a county there, you’ll see a sign updating drivers as to the number of road deaths recently. Signs warning both drivers and pedestrians of the worst intersections could help alert both to pay even more attention than they should already be paying. And lastly, as this is the automotive section of the paper, it behooves us as drivers to ask first what our responsibilities are, before worrying about whether we’re being unfairly blamed. Even if we already feel we’re doing a good job behind the wheel, there’s always room for improvement: make sure you’re not turning left into an occupied crosswalk, make sure you’re watching for a pedestrian to step off the curb late, never pass a vehicle that’s slowing near an intersection in case there’s someone crossing you can’t see. Perhaps you’ve had an incident where an inattentive or dark-clad pedestrian has made you have to jump on the brakes. That’s frustrating, but in the end, it doesn’t matter; the onus lies on us as drivers to take extra care, as it is not us who will get hurt the most. One thing all critics of the proposed speed limit changes are correct about: lower limits alone won’t make people safer. But we can. mcaleeronwheels@gmail.com

So, reducing speeds on neighbourhood streets will take more than just a sign or two, and this can be a source of frustration for conscientious drivers. It’s basically the teacher giving everyone detention because one student is running around the class like a maniac. Changing a number on a sign isn’t going to stop the thoughtless, but it will make the already responsible grumble. Further, if the posted limit doesn’t seem to relate to the safe flow of traffic, people will tend to ignore it more and more as time goes on. Speed limits alone won’t make the difference, but clever road design will. There are all sorts of traffic calming effects that can be designed into a neighbourhood, everything from speed tables to speed bumps, curbs that extend into the road, and so called “road diets” or the removal of a lane. Further, there are all manner of improvements that can be made to crosswalks themselves. Some of the simplest include raising the crosswalk to curb height and shortening the distance travelled by extending a curb into a pinch point. Some more radical ideas include banning right hand turns entirely in certain areas – this probably should already be implemented more widely in the downtown core. All of these solutions require money, planning, and engineering, and are thus quite a bit harder than simply sticking up a sign with a new number on it. However, the data is already out there

The Camry’s bodywork is smooth and somewhat generic, a look that is pleasant for a general audience.
trimming doesn’t finish there, with its contrast stitching gracing the doors and dash too. Because there is plenty of headroom and legroom in the front and back, this car is clearly designed to haul family members with ease.

Sedan’s success built on comfort and reliability From page 43 vehicles approaching from the side using a millimetre wave radar sensor, and then alerts you. All Camry includes as standard 10 airbags, a backup camera and the Toyota Star Safety System. Starting prices for the Camry range from $24,970 for the base LE, up to $36,450 for the Hybrid XLE and $36,520 for the XLE V6. The Camry is available in six different models and the hybrid in three as previously mentioned. THUMBS UP Predictable and comfortable; the Camry is the smooth and reliable car of choice. THUMBS DOWN A little numb in handling, perhaps beginning to feel a bit outdated. THE BOTTOM LINE The Toyota Camry has deservedly earned a reputation for offering excellent build quality and strong resale value. This is the car that will always deliver reliability and comfort above all else.
Competitors
FORD FUSION The Fusion is a great-looking car with an affordable starting price. To help you find the perfect car to suit your needs, Ford offers several models and a wide range of features to choose from. The handling is a bit better than the Camry and the overall feel is slightly sportier. The Fusion starts at $23,688 and ranges up to $45,088. HONDA ACCORD Even in the base model, the Accord’s cabin feels more upmarket than many expect. What you have in the Accord is superb reliability and worry-free ownership. The Accord’s handling is more nimble than the Camry and perhaps the best in this class. Available in eight trim levels, the Accord ranges in price from $24,590 to $36,390. NISSAN ALTIMA The 2017 Nissan Altima is a roomy, comfortable family sedan with great fuel economy, nice road manners, and handsome looks. The handling is above average and the price is reasonable considering that it’s well equipped. Starting prices for the Altima range from $23,998 for the base 2.5, up to $35,498 for the 3.5 SL. editor@automotivepress.com
