Iran frees detained NV journalist

Al Jazeera’s Parvaz describes listening to beatings during 19-day ordeal Manisha Krishnan

mkrishnan@nsnews.com

A North Vancouver journalist who was detained in Syria and then Iran for close to three weeks is back home.

Dorothy Parvaz, 39, shared an emotional reuinion with her loved ones at Vancouver International Airport on Thursday. When reporters asked her father Fred how he felt about seeing his daughter, he replied, “I mean, you can’t imagine. It’s great.” Parvaz got in touch with her ﬁancé and family members on Tuesday night to let them know that she was safe and sound. At the time, she was clearing customs in Doha, Qatar, where she works for the Al Jazeera news network. The reporter has since recounted her days in captivity in a TV interview for Al Jazeera. “Things in Syria are pretty bad,” she said, describing being handcuffed, blindfolded and taken to a courtyard to overhear young men being tortured. “The beatings I heard almost around the clock were savage.” Initially, Parvaz, who holds Canadian, American and Iranian passports, See Reporter page 5

Jailed gun dealer mounts constitutional challenge

A North Vancouver man serving a six-year sentence for weapons charges is challenging the Conservative government’s new law abolishing accelerated parole, arguing that it’s unconstitutional. Christopher John Whaling, 41, is serving his sentence at the minimum security William Head Institution in Victoria, after being convicted of three gun offences last year. Whaling, who used to be a verifier for the Canadian Firearms Registry, was nabbed five years ago as part of a police investigation into a large-scale gun trafficking ring in the Lower Mainland. Police watched as Whaling met a 22year-old Langley man in a recreation centre parking lot and handed him three automatic machine pistols. When police later searched Whaling’s North Vancouver home on East Keith

W. Van Pier watchman evicted Horseshoe Bay’s Billy Lord told to clear out after 35 years Jeremy Shepherd

jshepherd@nsnews.com

1,400 pot plants seized in WV raids

Jeremy Shepherd and James Weldon

AFTER 35 years of serving as pier watchman at Horseshoe Bay, Billy Lord is out of a job.

A well-known face around the marina, Lord began working for the District of West Vancouver as pier watchman in the early 1970s. Over the past decade, he has put in 10 hours a month on the pier in exchange for free mooring for his houseboat, but in March, he was told the arrangement was done and the municipality served him with an eviction notice. “I don’t know why they’re so intent . . . to kick me out,” Lord said, speaking from Malcolm Island where he’s doing marine maintenance. “I’m a real asset to them down there.” According to the district, however, they had good reason. West Vancouver parks manager Andrew Banks said the district decided to evict Lord because he wasn’t doing his job. “In late 2009 (Lord) decided to move up to Sointula,” Banks said. In effect, Banks said, Horseshoe Bay has been without a pier watchman since then. Lords said Banks’ assertion he hadn’t been the watchman since 2009 was untrue. He acknowledged being away from Horseshoe Bay frequently, but said his duties were never neglected. “When I am away, I’ve always got somebody else (filling in).” Banks said it’s acceptable for someone under contract with the district to employ assistants, but the district will only deal with the contractor — in this case, Lord — and for that he has to be possible to contact. Banks said the district has had difficulty reaching Lord. Lord denied this as well, however. “To my knowledge, he’s never tried to contact me at all,” he said of Banks. Lord said part of his problem might have been doing too good a job. “I think (the District of West Vancouver) believes the pier in Horseshoe Bay never has any problems. The reason there’s no problems is because I’m there or my people are there.” Among his tasks, Lord said he filed monthly safety reports and regularly cleared the debris from underneath the pier. “Just daily things like that keep the dock operating properly,” he said. Lord estimated 350 ambulances use the dock every year, and without a watchman, the results could be dire. “Without somebody there, it’ll be chaos,” he said, adding that even one boat tying up in the emergency lane could create a major problem. In regard to the current security on the pier, Banks said the district’s parks and maintenance staff are in the area on a regular submitted file photo basis, working with the Horseshoe Bay business community and BILLY Lord was pier watchman at Horseshoe Bay for 35 years. In March, he was concerned citizens. The district has ordered Lord to remove his houseboat from told the arrangement was done, and that he and his houseboat should go. the pier by May 31, but Lord said he won’t move until August 15, in part because his boat isn’t seaworthy enough to be evicted. Unit Leader of Coast Guard Auxiliary Howe Sound Dugal Purdie said a move “We took a beating last winter,” he said. to Horseshoe Bay could make his crew more efficient. “Until we complete the necessary floatation repair work, the houseboat is not “Some of our crews are coming from various areas in West Vancouver. . . .

Lord said an auxiliary unit would not be a replacement for his services. “The Clark stated the pontoon damage could result in the boat capsizing if towed. ocean never sleeps,” he said. Lord expressed a concern the dock isn’t being treated Clarke guaranteed the boat will be ship-shape by August 15. with the importance it deserves.

IN the wake of a May 4 raid on a West Vancouver grow-op, police have found an additional two operations in the community, seizing a total of more than 1,400 plants. Investigators were alerted to their latest targets May 12 when they arrested two Burnaby men, Huu Hung Nguyen and Phat Van Tran, both 42, and confiscated almost nine kilograms of marijuana. Evidence gathered in that case led West Vancouver police to a house in the 3900-block of Viewridge Place, which they raided the following day, seizing more than 600 plants. Twenty-four hours later, police uncovered another 300plant operation in the 1300block of Ottawa Place. No arrests were made in that instance. Together with the 500 taken in the first raid, the WVPD’s haul stands at more than 1,400 plants in less than two weeks. Grow-ops have become increasingly difficult to find in recent years as growers have adopted ever more sophisticated ways of disguising them, making the recent discoveries unusual. Tricks of the trade include electrical bypasses that hide power consumption, heat barriers designed to avoid detection by infrared cameras and even venting systems that drive odors into the sewer to disguise telltale smells. Investigators have not revealed how they found the operations in the recent busts. WVPD are recommending charges of production of a controlled substance and production for the purposes of trafficking against 31-year-old Justin Boudreau in connection with the May 4 raid. Nguyen and Tran are slated to appear in court June 8.

NV artist’s painting sold for $1M Late painter E. J. Hughes’s works fetch huge price in bidding war Jeremy Shepherd

jshepherd@nsnews.com

MORE than 60 years after North Vancouver artist E.J. Hughes put the ﬁnal brush stroke on Coastal Boats Near Sidney, B.C. the work sold for $1.14 million Tuesday. The Heffel Fine Art Auction House, oversaw the auction at the Vancouver Convntion Centre, had estimated the oil painting would sell for between $700,000 and $900,000, but a three-way bidding war propelled the canvas to its auction-leading price. Mouth of the Courtenay River, another Hughes work, sold for $789,750.

Although there aren’t hard records of their history, it seems fairly certain Hughes originally sold the two paintings to the B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons for $500 in 1952, according to auction house president David Heffel. Born in North Vancouver in 1913, Hughes attended North Vancouver High School before honing his craft at the Vancouver School of Decorative and Applied Arts in 1929. Hughes was best known for chronicling the turbulence and beauty of British Columbia’s coastline. After serving as an ofﬁcial artist for the Canadian army during the Second World War, Hughes went on to receive the Emily Carr scholarship in 1947. He later painted many of his best-known works while living on Vancouver Island. Often compared to Canada’s other renowned artists, Hughes received newfound acclaim over the last decade. Two books were published about him in that time, and one of his paintings, Fishboats, Rivers Inlet, sold for $920,000 in 2004. Hughes died in 2007 at the age of 93.

Convict argues change to parole rules unjust

From page 1

Road under warrant, they found a large quantity of unregistered firearms, including two 45-calibre handguns — one of which was loaded — and a MAC-10 automatic pistol, as well as machine guns in various stages of completion. Several of the guns seized lacked any serial numbers or manufacturer’s markings. Such guns, which are essentially untraceable, cannot be legally registered. Authorities said the weapons appeared to have been put together from kits, rather than manufactured in regular factories, and were likely going to be sold for use in criminal activity. Whaling also had several guns that he had registered to a fake address on Bowen Island. One of those, similar to an AK-47, had been converted into a fully automatic weapon and was eventually found in a box in the woods near Squamish. In September 2010, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Brenda Brown sentenced Whaling to serve four and a half years in jail after giving him credit for time already spent in custody. Because he was a first-time federal offender serving a sentence for non-violent offences, Whaling was entitled to apply for accelerated day parole, which allows offenders to be released on parole after just one-sixth of their sentence. Under those rules, Whaling would have been paroled next month, on June 29. In January, Corrections staff recommended his release, and he was accepted into a halfway house in Vancouver. But on March 28, the federal government’s new law abolishing accelerated parole came into effect. Whaling got a letter a few days later, saying he was no longer eligible for the program because of the change in the law. Whaling has now filed a constitutional challenge to that law, arguing that in effect it is adding retroactive punishment after he has already been sentenced. “The repeal of accelerated day parole amounts to a serious deprivation of liberty,” reads Whaling’s claim. “Legislation should not change the punishment available for a certain crime without providing advance notice so that individuals can conduct themselves accordingly.” Whaling argues that the change has resulted in “more severe treatment” for him.

Reporter accused of spying From page 1

said she was accused of being a U.S. spy for Israel, but things didn’t improve once it became apparent she was a journalist. “The fact I worked for Al Jazeera was a huge problem; they equated Al Jazeera with human rights watch, for causing problems for them.” She went on to say she received much better treatment in Iran, the country where she was born. “My interrogator was always polite. I was not subjected to any foul treatment; my room was clean; I was given adequate medical treatment when I needed it,” she said. She was also taken outside twice a day for fresh air. Parvaz claimed she was largely unaware of the media frenzy surrounding her disappearance. On Tuesday, her brother Dan took to social media to thank everyone who has been supportive during this time. “Finally, my sister is free,” he wrote in a posting on the Free Dorothy Facebook page, which has garnered more than 16,000 members. “You have done a good thing, and at least in my mind, have been part of a great thing.” Parvaz had been on assignment in Syria to cover the political unrest there. She was detained at the Damascus airport on April 29 after reportedly attempting to use an expired Iranian passport to get into the country and was sent to Iran a couple of days later. After moving to the North Shore at the age of 12, Parvaz attended Handsworth secondary and went on to study English literature at the University of British Columbia. She also holds a masters degree in journalism from the University of Arizona and has completed journalism fellowships at Harvard and Cambridge. Parvaz has been working for Al Jazeera since 2010.

La Glace is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Tammy-Lynn Cordone, 43, whose body was found in a tent near Juniper Point on May 19, 2009. Cordone, originally from Thunder Bay, was homeless and camping out in the park at the time of her death. La Glace was arrested and charged in 2010 after a 10-month police investigation. He has been held in custody since. His next court appearance to ﬁx a date for trial is scheduled for June 1 in B.C. Supreme Court.

Safety in letters N

orth Vancouver’s Dorothy Parvaz is ﬁnally free after 19 days in detention in Syria and Iran. Her crime? Reporting the news. Parvaz, taken into custody when she landed in Damascus to cover the unrest there, was released unharmed on Tuesday. Her captivity drew international attention, attracting coverage from media outlets across the globe and motivating many thousands to voice support through social media. The attention afforded this one individual was in no way disproportionate; as a journalist, the well-being of tens of thousands may hinge on her ability to do her job. Under the authoritarian regimes of North Africa and the Middle East, as in other parts of the world, one of the few things that tempers the actions of

the state is international scrutiny. In the face of uprisings by unarmed civilians, many governments have softened their responses as a result of pressure from abroad — and that pressure is a function of coverage by the news media. In Syria, where the regime has shown a particular inclination toward brutality, those in power have attempted to nullify this phenomenon by excluding journalists or, as in Parvaz’s case, jailing and intimidating them. These actions are aimed at removing the one protection the general populace has from the government. It must be met, as it was in this instance, by outrage on a global scale. Crackdowns on the forces of democracy have often been terrible. But without the media, they would be much, much worse.

Reading B.C.’s political tea leaves Baldrey should Mailbox

SOME idle musings, informed speculation and complete guesswork as the political scene takes a bit of a breather after two leadership races, one election and one big by-election:

■ They are both glass-half-full types, I guess: Premier Christy Clark and NDP leader Adrian Dix were crowing with glee after last week’s by-election result. Clark won, of course, by a fairly narrow margin and View from the Ledge became the first government candidate to win a by-election in 30 years. Keith Baldrey But I suspect she wasn’t expecting such a close result when she initially set the by-election date, and I can tell you there was a lot of nervousness at her campaign headquarters as the votes were being counted. Dix, on the other hand, insisted the NDP had scored a “great victory” even though its candidate, David Eby, had lost. If anything, both political leaders took home the prize for best spinning attempts for the week. ■ The premier may want to calm down her itchy trigger finger when it comes to calling a general election. I’m not sure her party is really prepared to run another race so soon after the last one. She says she’s looking at the fall for a vote, but her party’s finances need shoring up (which will undoubtedly occur over time, given that the business community views Dix with considerable alarm) and she presumably needs more time to find credible, attractive candidates. The NDP is in the same boat, which may factor into her timing, but if the polls don’t indicate a solid, substantial lead for her party, an early election may backfire on her. ■ Another piece of advice for the new premier: spend more time actually being the premier before expecting the electorate to endorse you come next election. Clark earned publicity for doing such things as working as a waitress in a diner and

going on a ride-along with some cops, but people are looking for statesmanlike qualities in a premier as much as a penchant for the common touch. ■ Are our Crown corporations about to be reined in under more government control? Already, the government has announced a review of B.C. Hydro’s plan to increase its rates by more than 30 per cent, and now ICBC’s idea of linking insurance rates to a single speeding ticket has been deep-sixed by the government. But the fact both corporations were able to get so far along a path that would potentially reach deep into many peoples’ pockets makes one wonder what else is lurking out there, away from the prying eyes of cabinet. Next on the list: B.C. Ferries and the size of its government subsidy, which directly affects ferry fares. ■ Will the business community, much of which favours the HST, finally get involved in a major campaign to save the tax? Companies that find the tax works to their benefit should be explaining that fact to their employees and encouraging them to vote for it. So far, I haven’t seen much evidence of that happening. ■ The legislative session will end soon — in early June — and so far it hasn’t exactly created sparks. The NDP hasn’t really done much in question period, which has become on most days a shout fest over the HST and not much else. Maybe the party is saving its ammo for when the new premier finally takes her seat. ■ Did new B.C. Conservative Party leader John Cummins doom his party’s future with his dumb comments on how people “choose” to be straight or gay? They made him look like the stereotypical right-wing fringe politician, the kind that has ensured the party remained marginalized in the past. I’m not sure he can fully recover from that gaffe, which would be very good news for the B.C. Liberals, who can’t afford any vote-splitting on the political right. ■ On the federal scene, it will be worth watching to see if new NDP Opposition begins to kowtow to Quebec’s interests on some issues — such as seat distribution — potentially at the expense of B.C.’s interests. The party was once dominated and influenced by the West, but now more than half its federal caucus comes from Quebec.

be bolder on HST

Dear Editor: Keith Baldrey’s last column (Cut HST in Order to Keep It, May 13, North Shore News) he compared a revised 11 per cent HST to “the old system which would be 12 per cent.” This is misleading. There were many exemptions for the PST that brought down the average cost to consumers, which I suspect would have been below that of an 11 per cent HST. I don’t know exactly what this average lower cost was, but I’m guessing it was the equivalent of a 10 per cent HST or less. The tax should be cut down to at least that level “in order to keep it.” The annual $300 extra cost to each British Columbian can only be offset this way. And while Premier Christy Clark is busy doling out all the goodies of late, why not bring back coverage of a visit to the eye doctor, taken away by the Campbell government in 2001? This alone costs British Columbians approximately $100 every two years to keep healthy eyes. We have a lot of catching up to do, and an 11 per cent HST isn’t going to do it. The government of B.C. needs to return to us the “extra revenue” they’ve been receiving from the HST or I will vote against keeping it in this summer’s referendum. John Sharpe North Vancouver

Napalm and the ﬁne art of growing up

WHEN I was 12 years old, I made napalm.

And like so many overenthusiastic pre-teens who have done this, I learned the hard way — namely, by almost destroying my neighbour’s house and, likely, some or all of my neighbours — that doing so is a bad idea. This begs the question (as it did at the time): Why the hell would you do that? The answer lies in a peculiarity of human development. As many of you know, Homo sapiens are unique among animal species in that we all come out of the womb as morons. Parents may talk about their young offspring as “smart” or “gifted,” but when it comes down to it, there’s a reason adults are in charge of things like ﬁling income taxes and babies are in charge of things like trying

No Laughing Matter James Weldon

to eat their own hands. In essence, growing up, for humans, is the process of becoming gradually less stupid. Generally speaking — based on my own experience, anyway — it takes a lot more than 12 years. This is why when, on a beautiful, tinder dry summer day in about 1991, when my peer and next door

neighbour came by to ask me if I wanted to help him make one of the most feared and destructive incendiary agents in the history of warfare, it struck me as a pretty good idea. How, I thought, racking my 12-year-old brain, could this possibly go wrong? For those of you who aren’t pyromaniacs, or who are pyromaniacs but clearly don’t understand what the Internet is for, the recipe for napalm is surprisingly simple. I don’t want to spell it out here since, if I do, everybody who reads this is obviously going to make it and the whole world (I tend to take an optimistic view of the size of my readership) would burn down. Let’s just say it involves secretly taking a bunch of gasoline and putting it in a bucket with a common household product and

Mailbox

mixing it so that it all turns into an indescribably cool sticky grey goo that looks and smells kind of like gravy. Or at least to those who were, as I was, raised in the culinary traditions of the British, in which it’s not uncommon for dishes to taste like the underside of a truck. It’s possible our approach wasn’t the official, mom-approved industrial process used by the American military. I suspect, for example, that they don’t source any of their ingredients from their friend’s dad’s lawn mower, and the manufacturing process involves significantly less high-fiving. But whatever. Once we were satisfied with our work, we embarked on the next step that would be followed by any responsible weapons

manufacturer: throwing it at something. As those of you with a military background will know, to test napalm, you scoop some on to the end of a stick, set fire to it with a barbecue lighter, and flick it at a safe and suitable target. Or, in our case, a tree. To us, a tree seemed like a logical choice: it was an object we didn’t especially care for, and it was unlikely to do anything unfortunate in response, such as tell on us or throw napalm back. It wasn’t until we had actually completed the exercise that it occurred to us that we had chosen as our target the plant that firewood comes from. And that it was surrounded by other flammable objects, such as the house. Watching the flames climb toward the suddenly combustible-looking

branches, it occurred to us we hadn’t really thought through how to put it out. Our initial attempts to extinguish it, which consisted, in essence, of running around on the driveway in a series of concentric circles and screaming “Aahhhhhhhhh!” or words to that effect, wasn’t working, so we went to Plan B. Fortunately, we found some kind of big, nonﬂammable object and kind of batted it out. When the shrieking and additional high-ﬁving had subsided, we looked at the charred remains of the tree and decided that, despite the inarguable awesomeness of what we had just done, we probably shouldn’t do it again. In retrospect, it’s probably lucky we were See At least page 11

Museum plan will snarl city centre

Dear Editor: In the ongoing debate over the Onni Group’s proposal for the Safeway site at Lonsdale and 13th (City opts out of Onni meeting, May 13, North Shore News), the issue of the museum has popped up again. Why do we need to locate such a cultural facility in what is potentially an extremely busy commercial intersection in addition to the three planned residential towers — which would already come with parking for over 350 more cars? It should be blindingly obvious to most people — even our local politicians — that the proposed museum, together with the

Presentation House complex at Chesterﬁeld Avenue and West Third Street, would be far better located in the space next to Centennial Theatre currently given over to parking. The theatre’s stalls could be relocated underground to avoid wasting valuable space. Centennial Theatre and the very large piece of adjacent land would be ideal as a central cultural centre for the city. Council should provide for the move, thus leaving the lands at the Safeway site and Third and Chesterﬁeld for private residential and commercial development. Bob Tarplett West Vancouver

Tiny carport triggers ﬁerce feud with DNV

LV homeowner bucks order to nix shelter Jeremy Shepherd jshepherd@nsnews.com

LYNN Valley resident Doug Carter erected a temporary carport to shield his late father’s Nissan from the elements two years ago.

NEWS photo Cindy Goodman

DOUG Carter is feuding with the District of North Vancouver over a canopy-style garage he has on his Lynn Valley property. The district hasn’t provided a solid argument or any standard regarding the canopies, according to Carter.

Last October, bylaw ofﬁcers told him to take it down. Carter said the District of North Vancouver informed him his temporary carport could be overwhelmed by a snow load and wouldn’t qualify for a permit under the B.C. Building Code. After being granted a three-month extension, Carter is now facing a $175 ﬁne, but said he has no plans to let the Nissan go without a roof. “The whole issue stinks,” said Carter, 52. “I was going to take it down in the summer, but now that it’s an issue, I’m not going to take it down,” he said. Instead, he’s appealing his See Owner page 10

Landscape lawsuit tossed Judge deems both sides in $40K WV spat to have come out even

Jane Seyd

jseyd@nsnews.com

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has thrown out a lawsuit that pitted a West Vancouver couple against their hired landscaper, saying both sides behaved in an “unbusinesslike fashion” and likely came out even.

Peter and Anne Jurik sued their landscaper Darryl Callan, saying he failed to carry out the terms of a $41,000 landscaping contract at their house in the British Properties in 2008. The landscaper was supposed to follow a plan supplied by landscape architects, including detailed lists saying where each plant was to go on the Dunlewey Place property. Work was supposed to be ﬁnished in about nine weeks. Partway into the project, however, Callan was told to ignore the plan and take instructions from Anne Jurik, who told the landscaper she wanted the garden to look “like Lynn Creek.” Jurik started handing Callan lists and sketches, with instructions like “sword ferns, tons” and “B.C. woodland evergreen trees everywhere.” “Unfortunately,” wrote B.C. Supreme Court Madam Justice Carol Ross, “no one turned their attention to how this fundamental

change would affect timing of the work, pricing of the contract and how completion would be defined.” As the project progressed, “Ms. Jurik was picking out plants and giving instructions. As plants were being delivered and planted, instructions were being given to have them moved. In at least one case, this involved hiring a crane to move larger trees that had already been planted,” wrote Ross. Callan testified that Jurik’s demands were unreasonable and “it was impossible to keep up with them.” In the end — about two months past the original completion date — the total cost of the plants came to $39,000, twice the value of the plants in the original contract, wrote Ross. Callan said he also did extra work that was not part of the contract, like moving trees and providing drainage. He had trouble getting paid, he added. The Juriks told the judge they had to finish the landscaping themselves. But when the work was inspected to see if it met British Properties standards, it was discovered most of the trees and hedges had not been planted correctly and either had their root balls exposed or had been planted too deep. Several trees were leaning with dead branches left hanging. The inspector concluded all trees and hedges needed to be reinstalled. The Juriks sued Callan, saying the $35,700 they’d paid was far more than the work was worth. But the judge also calculated that the couple owed Callan for extra work he’d done and bills they hadn’t paid. She dismissed both claims, saying the amounts both parties owed each other were roughly equal.

INQUIRING REPORTER VANCOUVER Canucks fans across the province are donning their blue and green jerseys, heading out with their friends to grab a beer and cheer their team on through to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. With ours the only Canadian team left in the running, it seems much of the country has hopped on the bandwagon. Every fan wants to believe their team will be hoisting the Stanley Cup, but with so many games still to be played, just how far will the home team go? Find us on Facebook to put in your two cents, or add your comment to Inquiring Reporter at www.nsnews. com. — Loren Romei

Angela Ngenman North Vancouver All the way! Because they are awesome and Kesler is unstoppable.

Kim Demay North Vancouver I’m hoping they’ll go all the way, because it would be great for Vancouver and it’s a great city.

How far will the Canucks go in the Stanley Cup Playoffs?

David Poskigt North Vancouver All the way! Because they’ve got heart and Luongo.

Owner argues safety concerns ‘overblown’ From page 8

case to the district. Brett Dwyer, manager of development services for the municipality, said temporary carports, which usually look like tents, tend to violate two bylaws. “The metal-tubing structure typically wouldn’t meet the building code,” he said. Dwyer said the temporary structures can also run afoul of the district’s zoning bylaw, which deals with what he called “accessory structures.” Dwyer said residents tend to have leeway when it comes to their backyards, but the rules are stricter for front yards and

driveways. “We typically try to take an approach of education. . . and map out a path to compliance,” he said in regard to dealing with violations. Dwyer said the district can resort to legal action in extreme cases. Carter said if it was a case of aesthetic concerns, he would understand. But he said the idea of a safety hazard seems overblown. Carter also took issue with what he called a “very selective” enforcement of the bylaw. Dwyer said most of the district’s bylaw inspections are based on complaints.

MASSIVE LIQUIDATION

“That’s how the municipality is made aware of the majority of bylaw compliance issues,” Dwyer said. Carter said four of his neighbours in Lynn Valley have been ticketed, which eventually prompted him to see how many people in the area use temporary carports. “I just drove around for three hours and I picked out 50 of those in my neighbourhood,” he said. “So what’s the big deal?” Dwyer said the municipality makes judgments on a “case by case basis.” According to the District of North Vancouver building regulation bylaw of 2003, the district has the right to require an owner to get a permit and the owner is obliged to comply.

B.C. boosts NV hydrogen

$870K grant to fund new liquefaction plant in Maplewood Jeremy Shepherd

jshepherd@nsnews.com

NORTH Vancouver will soon be home to the world’s ﬁrst small-scale hydrogen liquefaction plant thanks to a grant from the provincial government. B.C. Premier Christy Clark announced the $870,000 contribution Monday, saying the money would go toward a new facility run by North Vancouver’s Hydrogen Technology Energy Corporation. The Forester Street installation will take waste hydrogen from a neighbouring chemical plant, purify it and then squeeze it into a liquid state at a rate of about 1,200 kilograms a day. The product will be sold as fuel for hydrogen buses and for industrial uses ranging from microchip manufacture to rocket engines. “We’re starting with the smaller-scale liquefaction, so the production is essentially

servicing existing clients in the Pacific Northwest,” said HTEC vice-president Colin Armstrong. The company has potential to expand substantially from there, however. “One hundred times what we produce is used up by the industrial market in manufacturing (in North America),” said Armstrong. HTEC has already been purifying waste hydrogen at another facility down the street, but without the ability to liquify it, they have been forced to store it and transport it as a much less dense gas, cutting significantly into efficiency. The new plant is expected the change that, according to Armstrong. “Compared to gaseous. . . you can transport about ten times the quantity of fuel,” he said. Armstrong estimated the plant’s daily output will have the energy equivalent of about 4,500 litres of gasoline if used in a standard fuel cell, or about 9,100 litres of gasoline if passed through a top-of-theline model. He said the company plans to produce gaseous hydrogen at the location in about six months and liquid in about 18. North Vancouver is one of the few locations in B.C. — along with Trail, Nanaimo and Prince George — where hydrogen byproduct is readily available,

according to Armstrong. HTEC, which currently employs four people, will probably be hiring six to eight employees with high-tech skills, he said. Asked about safety concerns, Armstrong said it’s usually a matter of teaching people about the industry. “Typically, we have to educate the local authorities who have jurisdiction and introduce them to the industrial world of hydrogen,” he said. “There’s lots of codes and standards, and you follow them the same way you do for designing your electrical system in your house.” District of North Vancouver Councillor Lisa Muri said she was glad to hear the news about the plant, but did raise some questions. “They’re under the authority of the port, so there have been concerns in regards to safety,” she said, pointing to the possibility of a massive earthquake as a contingency that needs to be investigated. “The port made the decision to continue with the lease, so we live with them in our community and we work together to make sure it’s as safe as possible.” Muri said she supported funneling waste energy from neighbouring plants and hoped HTEC could help in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

At least it wasn’t an atomic lawn mower From page 7

limited in our available materials to the extent that we were; if the lawn mower had run on weapons-grade plutonium, for example, the result might have been harder to deal with using some old blankets. (“Where’s the city? Did you make that 10kilometre-wide crater? What have I told you about messing with the lawn mower?”)

Strangely, this wasn’t an incident that ever came up in conversation with the parents. I certainly didn’t lie about it, of course, but then I was never asked speciﬁcally if I had almost burned down my friend’s house with napalm. I like to think it was just one step on the long road to getting gradually less dimwitted. — jweldon@nsnews.com

THEY called him a quitter.

Harry Jerome trained daily, raced despite sickness and competed with a thighlength scar running down his surgically-repaired quadriceps, but according to many Canadian newspapers of his day, Jerome was a talented but psychologically

weak underachiever. Jerome’s grace, guts, flaws and foibles are on display in Mighty Jerome, a documentary opening today at Fifth Avenue Cinemas. The black and white film features interviews with Jerome’s friends and family and documents his journey back to the track after what seems like a career-ending leg injury. “That really struck me, the question of him being a quitter,” says the film’s director Charles Officer.

A vaudevillian feast for the senses

Maria in the Shower pull out all the stops to entertain you

■ Maria in the Shower, album release party, and special guests, Friday, May 20 at 9 p.m. at the Waldorf Hotel. Tickets: $10, visit www.mariaintheshower.com.

Erin McPhee emcphee@nsnews.com

WHEN asked to describe what it’s like to take the stage with his Vaudeville-inspired band, Maria in the Shower, Jack Garton compares the experience to a moon-lit nautical journey. “We’re up on stage and we’re kind of steering this musical ship, not through space, but through time, because we only have the audience for a couple of hours,” he says. “Through that journey the audience, the sea of bodies, kind of moves like the waves and you see glittering points of light, just sparkling like on a beautiful night on the ocean. We use the responses in the room as navigational stars and we kind of navigate our way through the evening — that’s how I often think of it. The wind that blows the sails is the inspiration and we’re taking whatever inspires us and hopefully inspiring others.” The East Vancouver-based, eclectic quartet is continuing to grow its fanbase and is set to take the stage tonight, kicking off an extensive summer tour, at Vancouver’s Waldorf Hotel to celebrate the release of their ﬁrst ofﬁcial record to date, dubbed The Hidden Sayings of Maria in the Shower. Founded in 2007, Maria in the Shower draws on a variety of musical styles — gypsy, folk, old-time,

MARIA in the Shower recorded their new album in two days at Vancouver’s Afterlife Studios. They launch the disc tonight with a CD release party at the Waldorf Hotel. samba, blues, cabaret, Latin, Eastern European, swing and rockabilly — and their performances incorporate a variety of other art forms: acrobatics, theatrics and storytelling included. “If people come to see a show, I would like to provide a feast for as many senses as possible,” says Garton, 26, a North Vancouver native and Handsworth grad. “Whether

that means what we can do or what different acts we have with us (can do), a night of entertainment is something that’s a real art. It’s something that since Vaudeville has been left by the wayside a little bit.” Introduction of new technology — radio, television and ﬁlm — has had a dramatic impact on the way artists entertai, he says.

“The technology made the art forms fragment into their own little pockets and I’d like to sort of bring it back to the time before that, when before those technological innovations we had the live experience and that was it,” he says. “For our shows, people can go back to that space.” Garton, who now lives in Vancouver, was exposed to

music at an early age. He took a variety of music lessons and sang in the church choir at St. Catherine’s Anglican Church. Around the age of 10, his claim to fame was his Elvis impersonation. He performed often throughout the Lower Mainland, and fared well in local talent shows, including a second-place ﬁnish to rising star Michael Bublé at the PNE. As a teenager,

Garton opted to pursue another path: he formed an acclaimed Michael Jackson Thriller performance group. The ensemble was called on for countless club and private events. “All of the paths I’ve taken have been to learn more about myself, and more about my art form, which is performing,” he says. “Whether things have been ups or downs, whatever, there’s been many, I’m continuing to learn. The process is the main thing. I think that’s what draws me to performing.” While studying religious studies and biblical Hebrew at the University of British Columbia, Garton worked at Main Street’s Cafe Montmartre. Through that job, he became an active member of Vancouver’s arts scene, particularly, the poetry and spoken word community. Hosting his own event, he met future Maria in the Shower bandmate Martin Reisle. The duo realized they shared a similar approach to music and began performing together —Garton on vocals, trumpet and accordion and Reisle on vocals, trombone, guitar and cello. They later welcomed Brendon Hartley (vocals and bass) and Todd Biffard (vocals and percussion) to the mix. Their name was taken from a friend’s painting. Interested in exploring her childhood memories through visual works, she created a painting representing Maria, a character from Sesame Street, in the shower. A performance looming, the band opted to reference her piece and the name stuck. The band endeavours to stay connected with and supportive of the local arts community. “We feel that having a strong community and a diverse community of arts is really important for the same reason that it’s important in an eco-system to have diversity,” says Garton.

“Anything we can do to help that and to continue to create strong webs, strong networks, between all the people who we think are doing great work, that’s what I think keeps things interesting.” That interest is evident in tonight’s album release event at the Waldorf. A variety of guests are also on the bill, including acrobats, DJs, burlesque dancers and magicians. Featured artists include The Tailor, Mind of a Snail, Dream Science Circus, Pillowhead and Doctor T. Garton is excited about the release of their new album, recorded in two days at Vancouver’s Afterlife Studios. It features nine original songs and one semi-original, “Star of Bannack,” inspired by an anonymous song, a eulogy, printed in an 1876 Bannack, Mont., newspaper, found in a book of poems and songs at a thrift shop. “I’m very proud of the sound quality of the album,” says Garton. “Our main goal was to achieve something that was sonically well-crafted and I think that’s what it is, so I’m happy with that.”

REVIEW

Eclectic mix of styles and subjects on view in Vol. 2

■ Artists of British Columbia, Volume 2. Published by Leighdon Studio Gallery, 109 pages. In this second collection of B.C. artists, the North Shore is once again well represented. Local artists like Jane Armstrong and Dene Croft show off beautifully reproduced examples of their work. The eclectic mix of styles and subjects make this a true cross-section of contemporary art from around the province. Every artist is presented through one or more samples and a short bio, which includes their education, exhibitions and awards. The brilliant colours of Wendy Framst’s watercolours jump off the pages while the subtle monotone shadings of Charles Keillor’s drawings are wonderfully depicted. All of the 35 artists selected for this second volume offer a unique vision and approach to their work, making this a ﬁne addition to any art lover’s collection. — Terry Peters

FILM

Mighty Jerome traces life of track star Director Charles Ofﬁcer a former athlete himself Jeremy Shepherd

jshepherd@nsnews.com

BEFORE immortalizing Harry Jerome on film, Charles Officer was just the kid who wanted to pick the movies his hockey team watched on road trips. “I loved films like Superman, Star Wars and The Goonies,” he says of his childhood favourites. Growing up in Ontario, Officer boxed and played hockey, but it was his skill on the ice that eventually led the Calgary Flames to draft the young prospect. As a 19-year-old black player on an NHL farm team in Utah, Officer recalls not quite fitting in with his older teammates. “They were men to me, and I just felt alienated,” he says. While prepping his next production, a psychological thriller called Torch Bearer, Officer speaks rapidly and enthusiastically about Mighty Jerome, his documentary about Canadian track icon Harry Jerome, a Canadian story Officer says is overdue. “They’ve already made a film about curling. . . and it flopped,” he says with a laugh, referring to 2002’s Men With Brooms. Jerome and Officer both faced careerthreatening injuries as young men. But while Jerome was accused of mental fragility, that accusation had some merit in Officer’s case. “My injury was completely psychological,” he says. During his teens, Officer played hockey in Europe, but when he was out of skates he enrolled in an off-campus graphic art program at Cambridge University. When his hockey career ended shortly after returning to North America, Officer returned to the arts. Officer went on acting auditions and eventually found himself, in his opinion, the least talented member of an acting school in New York. Officer recalls his acting teacher’s

MOST documentary pitches are about five pages long but Charles Officer says he presented a 113-page Mighty Jerome script to the National Film Board of Canada. summation of his talent: “You have a better chance of being a brain surgeon than you do of becoming an actor.” Determined to break into movies, Officer says he wrote the script for his first film that night. After completing the short When Morning Comes, Officer worked on a series of music videos and TV projects before making his first feature-length film, Nurse.Fighter.Boy, released in 2008. During that time, Officer wrote a script for Mighty Jerome and ultimately received backing

from the National Film Board. Most documentary pitches are about five pages. Officer says his script was 113 pages. “It was fully financed by the NFB and I don’t know the last time they did that,” he says. “I didn’t have to pound the pavement myself.” Inspired by director Todd Haynes’ deliberately fractured tribute to Bob Dylan, I’m Not There, Officer settled on the stark look of Mighty Jerome. “I decided early on that this film had to be in black and white,” he says. “Because it was a documentary I knew I could get away with

more than in a feature.” Fearful a distributor or producer might try to bring colour to his charcoal-shaded film, Officer shot everything in black and white, making a transfer impossible. Cracks of colour do break into the film, something Officer says is for younger viewers. “The colour coming in at the end is for the next generation,” he says. “I’m trying to speak to a new generation and have them understand this man,” Officer says. “The next 12-year-old will hopefully be inspired.”

HARRY Jerome competed for Canada in the 1960, 1964 and 1968 Summer Olympics and set seven world records during his track and ﬁeld career.

After being touted as a teenaged gold medal hopeful, Jerome failed to advance to the medal round in the 1960 Olympics. But it was his unfinished sprint at the British Empire Games in Australia two years later that tore his quadriceps and threatened his career. Newspaper headlines like “The Boy (Jerome) is Plain Nuts,” and an article mentioning his “alleged leg ailment” angered distance runner and friend Bruce Kidd. “There was a hole (in Jerome’s leg) as big as my fist,” he says in the documentary. Mighty Jerome blends new interviews with archival footage and re-enactments of intimate moments in Jerome’s life. We see a 12-year-old boy trying to outrun the North Vancouver rain as well as quiet, lurking racism shadowing him during his first dates with Wendy Jerome at the University of Oregon. “She loves him to this day,” Officer says of Wendy, Jerome’s former wife, who provided every photograph and news clipping used in the film. “He was a beautiful human being to look at,” Wendy says in the film. “It was difficult as a white girl to date a black man.” Wendy recalls finding her car full of trash, being manipulated by associates and ultimately being fired for dating Jerome. The movie traces their marriage and eventual divorce. “There was a love story there, it didn’t work out fully,” Officer says, discussing the affectionate yet candid recollections of Jerome’s friends. “They loved him, but at the same time, they pointed out all his flaws.” Jerome’s fractured relationship with his daughter, his political views and his death at 42 are discussed in conversations set in

a museum adorned with portraits and pictures of the sprinting star. “It was amazing to see guys come to that space and be affected,” Officer says. For the look of the film, Officer says he chose black and white to build cohesion between old photos and films of Jerome and the people who remember him today. Their stories are underscored by jazz and soul music, almost completely the work of composer Schaun Tozer, who plays every instrument on nearly every song. “I wanted to compose music for a documentary, I didn’t want to just drop songs on it,” Officer says. The film also features the recollection of retired attorney Paul Winn, a fellow athlete and friend to Jerome. Winn came to North Vancouver in the summer of 1957 after living in Toronto and spending summers in Harlem, New York. As the only black students at North Vancouver High School, the athletes gravitated to each other. “I thought he was a black kid trying to act white,” Winn says. “I was sort of a pro-black person.” Despite their differences, the two formed a friendship that lasted until the day Jerome died. “He used to always talk about pursuing excellence, he was a relentless taskmaster,” Winn says. Speaking from his home in New Westminster, Winn recalls Jerome bursting into their shared apartment in South Vancouver at 10 p.m. and demanding: “Did you work out today?” Despite spending the day coaching youth soccer, Jerome ushered Winn, who had not trained that day, to a park to put him through a one-hour workout.

North Vancouver plays prominent role in story From page 28

Winn first experienced that work ethic in North Vancouver, when Jerome was indistinguishable from the high school’s other top sprinters. “Between 1958 and 1959 Harry worked like a fiend,” Winn says. Winn says he watched Jerome transform until he was running the 100-yard dash in the near world-record time of 9.5 seconds. North Vancouver plays a prominent role in the film. Jerome’s mother, Elsie JeromeSumpton, recalls the community’s reaction when she and Jerome’s father moved into town in the early 1950s. “North Vancouver, they didn’t want us there,” she says in the film. Wendy Jerome recalls the treatment she and Jerome received 10 years later when her husband was in the hospital and she was pregnant and had recently been fired. “The city of North Vancouver were wonderful to us. They paid our rent, they bought our food, they paid our utilities for us until we could get back on our feet,” she says. Winn was equally contemplative and funny

when recalling Jerome. “If you ever saw Harry on a dance ﬂoor or a basketball court. . . you would not have guessed that was the great athlete,” he says. “It was not a pretty sight.” “I used to think Harry was so focused on track that things outside track didn’t interest him,” Winn says. “He was very moody. . . but he had a depth of thought about things.” The two were so close they were once mistaken for the same person on a relay team featuring Jerome, Winn and identical twins. Winn says a rival coach accused the relay team of only having two runners. “The day he died (of a brain aneurysm) we had lunch,” Winn says. “It was a real shock.” After trying for years to get a ﬁlm made about Jerome, Winn says he was glad to appear in the documentary and correct misconceptions. “Those of us who did participate saw it as an opportunity to undo an injustice,” Winn says. Winn says he remains close to some members of Jerome’s family, and thinks about the life Jerome would have if he were still alive. “Harry would’ve been a great-grandfather on the ninth of May.”

Plenty of room for more Pirate treasure

■ Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Directed by Rob Marshall. Starring Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Ian McShane and Geoffrey Rush. Rating: 7 (out of 10)

Julie Crawford Contributing Writer

PREVIEWS for the fourth Disney Pirates of the Caribbean film show Jack Sparrow entangled with Penelope Cruz. Our campy Captain with a love interest? Say it ’aint so, me hearties. Not to worry. Johnny Depp keeps his boots on and his sword safely in its scabbard: “I’m just as bent as ever,” Capt. Jack assures us, “hellishly so.” Gone are Keira Knightly, Orlando Bloom et al, but we hardly miss them. As Angelica, Cruz provides the girl power, and there are plenty of fiendish new characters to kick-start the franchise. It’s Depp we’re here to see, anyway. Director Rob Marshall (Chicago, Nine) replaces Gore Verbinski in the captain’s chair, and change is a good thing. The last Pirates film, in 2007, was a flat, blatant bridge to a sequel, and the franchise was in dire need of fresh blood. We find it onboard Queen Anne’s Revenge, the ship belonging to notorious pirate Blackbeard, with its bloodstained sails and “zombie-fied” quartermaster. Then Ian McShane appears as Blackbeard, literally smoking with evil and with several voodoo tricks up his sleeve. How’s that for new blood? Alas for Blackbeard, eternal life is not one of his tricks, and a prophecy has declared that his number is almost up. He’s headed in search of the fabled Fountain of Youth, with Jack as his prisoner and guide. A Spanish Armada is sailing that way, photo submitted too. So is Jack’s old rival, Hector Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), a JOHNNY Depp and Penelope Cruz star in the latest instalment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise: On reformed pirate now in the service of His Majesty’s navy. Stranger Tides. The film is now playing at North Vancouver’s Empire Esplanade 6 Cinemas. So Jack’s got a map but needs a ship; Angelica has a ship but needs directions; Barbossa has both but is out for revenge, posh equipage and lands squarely in Judi Dench’s lap (after whispering naughty not the fountain. Things get a bit convoluted in the quest for the Fountain, which requires two chalices mixed just so, a mermaid’s tear and some other nothings in her ear, he departs, with Dench’s dowager lamenting “Is that all?”). hocus-pocus. Only if you’re an Archeology 101 nerd will you get bogged Sam Claflin is great as the missionary whose soul is saved by a mermaid down by the Ponce de Leon timeline and locale, the rest of us are all about the (Astrid Berges-Frisbey); McShane is fab; Cruz is fair as the convent girl swordfights. supposedly corrupted by Jack, but far from becoming an audience favourite. It’s back to pirate-y good fun, and the film is never better than when the Supporting cast is uniformly good, including Keith Richards, who makes an focus is on swashbuckling, swabbing and skulduggery. Less consistent are the appearance as Jack’s dad. big effects sequences: most are great, a few are as murky as Davy Jones’ locker. Marshall has succeeded in making On Stranger Tides satisfying in its own Locales are lush and varied, and the entire proceedings are given depth with 3D. right, but there’s plenty of room for a sequel or three: meaning that unless The best sequence involves an early chase through London via bunting, Depp himself stumbles on the fountain of youth, he may look like papa Richards funeral carriage, and finally, a fiery coal cart. But that’s not before Jack crashes a before the franchise is through with him.

ARTHRITIS Great Sex

Happiness for couples is a satisfying sex life.

Pain free in 2 weeks!

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products,physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Don’t let anybody confuse you. Nick A. Jerch, President #1 We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100 testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples: ! Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON !My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA!I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON!Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK.

Carla Daunais, 32, St-Hubert, QC !I’ve been married for 13 years and never experienced climaxes in the last 12 years - untill I took Erosyn. New sex life is exciting! What a miracle! Jeane Adams, 37, American Fork, UT !My sexual desire is greater now than it was for 30 years. It’s wonderful to have such ecstatic joy. I’ve tried others that didn’t work. Eve Jameson, 58, Kingman, AZ !I’m 92 and sex is good again. Regained intimacy makes life more interesting. Florence Fryer, Edmonton, AB

Chungking Express (Hong Kong 1994. Director: Wong Kar-Wai) New 35mm print of one of the signature works of Hong Kong master Wong Kar-Wai. Ultra-chic, ultra-urban and ultra-urgent, Wong’s offbeat crime thriller-cum-romantic comedy unfolds in two loosely connected parts, both concerning lonely, lovelorn cops with serious woman troubles. The neon-rush images were shot by Christopher Doyle, the phenomenally fluid Australianborn cinematographer who is a key contributor to the Wong aesthetic. Chungking Express is now frequently cited as one of the great films of the past quarter-century. To May 23. The Conformist (Italy/ France/West Germany, 1970. Director: Bernardo Bertolucci) New 35mm print. Widely considered Bernardo Bertolucci’s masterpiece (it came just before Last Tango in Paris), and ranking among the most splendid achievements of virtuoso cinematographer Vittorio Storaro. “The Conformist is a stunning triumph of visual cinema. The sheer opulence of the film’s visual design — expressive lighting, lavish decor, sumptuous costumes, elaborate tracking shots — evokes the classic Hollywood studio cinema of Sternberg, Ophüls and Welles, and marks a break with radical Godardian aesthetics of Bertolucci’s earlier work. (the Paris address of the man Marcello is sent to kill is actually Godard’s address).” Screening May 20-25.

BISSET - James Aug. 6th 1920-May 12th, 2011. Jim Bisset’s finally taking a day off after 90 years of hard work. He always played by the rules and was the most decent, honest guy anyone could ever meet. Just as he had an amazing work ethic, he was also able to take time to enjoy himself. A master shipwright, over the years he built a small fleet. To own a Bisset boat became a privilege. His friendship, generosity and wry sense of humour will be missed by his many friends and family. He’s got his boarding pass and is going where the fields are green, the thoroughbreds are fast, the women are beautiful, the stock market is always bullish, a man can get a decent rye & coke, and a couple of hundred board ft. of clear cedar can be bought at a good price.Jim, you were special. Thanks to all the caregivers and doctors at Mission Memorial who gave him the attention and respect he deserved. In lieu of flowers donations could be made in Jim’s memory to the Salvation Army, a cause he always supported. A memorial will be held at a later date.

RYAN - Hugh D. June 30, 1926 – May 10, 2011 Passed away peacefully at North Shore Hospice. Hugh was born in London, Ontario and grew up in Vancouver. Some of his fondest memories were of lifeguarding at Spanish Banks and playing basketball for Western Washington University. He moved to Edmonton where he met and married the love of his life, June Hudyma in 1954. They spent a few years in Edmonton before moving to West Vancouver in the early 1960’s and resided in the same home until June’s passing Jan. 28, 2010. He was a long time executive with Park and Tilford. He is survived and sadly missed by sister Daphne Read and her children David Graham (Jo-Anne Midmore), Lesley Dukowski (Les), Janet Plant (Geoff) and their families. Sisterin-law Norma Handy and her children Barry Kay Berry (Michael), Suzanne Handy and their children. Cousin Betty Krysa and her family as well as many dear friends. A special thank you to the North Shore Hospice for their wonderful care. A celebration of Hugh’s Life will be held at West Vancouver Seniors Center, Marine Room, 695 21st Street, on Wednesday June 1 from 3:00 to 5:00 pm.

MARTIN - James May 24, 1949 – May 9, 2011 With great sadness we announce the sudden passing of James “Jim” Andrew Martin on May 9, 2011 at the age of 61. Born and raised in North Vancouver, Jim graduated with a bachelor’s degree in education from the University of British Columbia before beginning his teaching and coaching career at Delbrook secondary in 1974. Jim went on to work at North Vancouver (’74-’79) and Hamilton (’79-’82) secondary schools, but he is perhaps best known for his time at Carson Graham secondary (’82-’99), where he was a fixture in the athletics department. Besides Physical Education, he taught Industrial Education, English and Social Studies and worked in the library and counseling departments, but his true area of expertise was inspiring and nurturing kids both on and off the field. He mentored and coached for community, club and school teams in sports such as rugby, basketball, volleyball, track and field and soccer, and along with co-coach Doug Barker helped the Carson Graham Eagles win their first-ever senior boys provincial rugby championship in 1996, beginning a legacy of rugby excellence that continues at the school to this day. In 1999 Jim was appointed District Coordinator of Athletics for the North Shore Secondary Schools Athletics Association, where he oversaw myriad competitive sports programs for thousands of students at 14 schools across North and West Vancouver until his retirement in 2007. Jim played softball for the North Shore Iguanas and Big Bird Sound and rugby for the North Shore AllBlacks and the Capilano Rugby Football Club, where he was a welcoming and familiar face for decades. In his spare time, Jim enjoyed “Dads and Lads” camping trips with his boys, backyard fishing derbies in Lynn Valley, “gentlemen’s lunches” and smokers with Ray, Murray, Paul and Rob, as well as the close relationships he maintained with friends, former colleagues and students and family. Jim leaves behind beloved sons Nick, Connor and Lucas, brothers Dave (Vera) of Victoria and Dick (Donna) of Abbotsford, sister Gail (Harold) of Fort St. John and an aunt Ruby of San Francisco, cousins, nieces, nephews, stepsiblings, and countless friends. He was predeceased by his mother Hazel, father Andrew, brothers Bob (Patti) and Ernie and sister Faye. A celebration of Jim’s life will be held at the Capilano Rugby Football Club, 305 Klahanie Court, West Vancouver, on May 26 at 4 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the trust fund for his sons at CIBC #1800-06012183.

2012 Acura TL

Maker spruces up new model David Chao and Bob McHugh Contributing writers

GOOD gets better with the introduction of the 2012 Acura TL.

Columnist DAVID CHAO reviews the 2011 Jeep Compass in next week’s Rev section.

While the changes are more like a shave and a haircut than a complete transformation, the spruced up and more dapper looking TL also comes with a new drivetrain that’s in tune with the times. Acura is the luxury division of Honda and this is its 25th year in Canada. Today’s TL is a direct descendent of the Acura that started it all — the 1987 Acura Legend — and today there are some 60,000 Acuras on our roads. The last major redesign, in 2009, was unable to halt a steady decline in TL sales over the past 10 years, but Acura hopes these latest tweaks will reverse that trend. It listened carefully to what buyers had to say about the existing TL and made appropriate changes. As a 2009 Acura TL owner, I am already a fan of the TL so See Drivers page 41

SUBTLE yet noticeable changes ensure the 2012 Acura TL keeps in tune with the times. It’s available at North Shore Acura, 828 Automall Dr., North Vancouver.

Are You the Ultimate Canuck Fan?!

Drivers welcome changes for 2012 From page 40 the changes for 2012 are truly welcome. The TL’s base price is lower by about $500 when compared to last year’s pricing, and as you move up the trim offerings the price cut can be as much as $1,500. Buyer savings accumulate when you consider its improved content and it continues after purchase thanks to better fuel economy. Leading the styling changes is the new front grille, which is more forward and trimmer than the large pointed beak that’s on the current TL. Apparently this was the most sought after change. The overall visual effect of the tweaks, which also include a new crease in the bumper cover, is that of a lower and wider car, but in fact there’s actually no significant dimensional change. Changes to its rear are on a similar theme. The tail lights (LED) look fatter due to the removal of chrome-like trim; the licence plate location is higher; there’s a new bumper crease and a new black garnish strip below the bumper. There’s also a practical spin to the TL’s design change in the form of improved aerodynamics, which amounts to a 5.4 per cent reduction in drag. When combined with engine efficiency improvements and a completely new six-speed automatic transmission, the overall fuel economy improvement is very impressive. It’s a 20 per cent improvement for the base 3.5-litre V6, and an 18 per cent improvement for the 3.7-litre V6. Both engines now come with updated cold air inlet systems, new-design molybdenum coated pistons and use a lower viscosity oil. Under the hood, the TL employs a new battery management system that’s designed to increase the overall service life of the battery and reduce the risk of a dead battery situation. The new Sequential SportShift six-speed automatic transmission comes with a taller ratio final overdrive gear, meaning better fuel economy, and shorter ratio lower gears for improved off-the-line acceleration. It’s linked to the engine via a multi-clutch torque converter that allows for lock-up activation during a wider range of driving conditions, which also improves fuel economy. A nifty double kick-down feature allows the driver to double-downshift, say from fifth to third gear. And it’s a smart transmission that gives the gas See Super page 45

Hot cars heat up big and small screen CONFESSION time: my Monday evening guilty pleasure is plonking down in my cushy red eyesore of an easy chair and watching the tropical hijinks on Hawaii Five-0.

Grinding Gears

Brendan McAleer

I know, I know: the show isn’t quite what you’d call a police-procedural — all that unrealistic crime-solving makes

CSI: Miami look like a CBC documentary on ﬁngerprinting. But, it’s endlessly satisfying to see aerial shots of Oahu in all her glory and realize, “Hey I was just on that beach!” and there is a certain appeal to watching police ofﬁcers call each other “Brah” and ask “Howzit?” Plus, Scott Caan is hilarious. However, there’s a problem. You may not have noticed it, but Chevrolet is clearly one

of the major sponsors of the show and the product placement is getting ridiculous. It’s one thing for McGarrett and Danno to rip around the island in a silver Camaro SS, but it’s a bit clunky to have Kono showing off the new iPhone apps for her Chevy Cruz — right when she’s in the lab supposed to be solving a crime! Where does it end? McGarrett: “Book ’em, Danno.”

Danno: “I will Steve, just as soon as finish reading this Volt brochure aloud for the next 15 minutes.” So, I tuned in this week with an enormous amount of trepidation. As expected, the first cool car that showed up, a cherry-red BMW M3 Convertible, blew up and killed its driver, thus teaching us all not to drive that foreign exploding stuff. But then, about 15 minutes from the end of the show, Hawaii Five-0 completely redeemed itself. McGarrett had just narrowly escaped being picked up by the regular cops for a crime he didn’t commit. He’s running over the rooftops. Cut to a rumbling V8 and the rumpled side profile of a black car bearing the iconic badge: “Marquis.” Yep, they finally brought back Jack Lord’s old car from the original series. Instantly, all ham-handed Chevy-shilling was instantly forgiven, and as I watched that enormous black sedan swoop around the corner and nearly fall over because of its arthritic and wallowy suspension, I

started making a mental list. Here are the most iconic cars ever to grace the small screen. Starsky & Hutch: 1974 Gran Torino It is with no small amount of pride that I tell you that I managed to avoid seeing the Ben Stiller/Owen Wilson Starsky & Hutch re-make. Not that I have anything against those two ﬁne thespians, but watching the two of them onscreen is bound to leave your brain as half-melted as Derek Zoolander’s. In the original TV show, the “Striped Tomato” was Starsky’s car, and it could hardly travel 10 feet without hitting a stack of cardboard boxes or chicken coops. Thinking of opening up a plate glass window delivery form in Bay City? Hope you can afford the insurance. As iconic as the whitestriped Gran Torino was, it was also a fairly terrible car. This was the 1970s after all, so that big V8 produced all of 255 horsepower and had to pull around 4,200 pounds. Quite See TV’s page 43

frankly, I don’t see how they managed to get up enough speed to knock over a single dustbin. The A-Team: 1983 GMC Gseries Van There’s been a remake of this one too, hasn’t there? Sigh. The A-Team had it all: cigarchomping badassery, explosive tomfooling, fool-pitying. I don’t see why they made such a big deal out of “. . . if you can find them . . .” because surely you could just follow the trail of spent bullet casings. The A-Team fired off more rounds of ammunition than the Allies on D-Day every single episode and only managed to ever hit a guy in the shoulder once. It’s no wonder they were courtmartialled. The black van with the red stripe is instantly recognizable. Heck, you could give a Chrysler Magic Wagon the same paint scheme and people would know what you were paying tribute to. The original happened to have grip-tape on the roof for the stuntmen, a 350-litre V8 for burnouts and a naugahyde and shag carpet interior for luxurious relaxation after a long day of shooting at people and not hitting them. Knight Rider: 1982 Pontiac Trans Am (KITT) There has been much discussion over who was the real star of the early-’80s hit Knight Rider. Was it the all-black, customized, self-aware Trans Am with “turbo boost?” Or was it David Hasselhoff’s awesome mullet? Yes, KITT could deflect bullets, but could he charm the

ladies like the ’Hoff’s magnificent mane? Public opinion remains divided. Considering the modest (read as: pathetic) performance specs of a 1980s Trans Am, the imaginary modifications made to KITT were very impressive. On paper at least, KITT was reported to be capable of going from zero to 60 miles/hour in two seconds, faster than a Bugatti Veyron, and of completing the standing quartermile in 4.286 seconds, which is faster than a 7,000 h.p. nitro drag racer. Oh, and “he” could also jump 40 feet in the air and shoot things with lasers. Good luck getting your F-body to do that. Miami Vice: 1986 Ferrari Testarossa There’s something about a Testarossa in white that just makes you want to wear pastels, push back your sleeves and slip on loafers without socks. It’s pure late-’80s magnificence. Mind you, the car that was to become synonymous with new wave music and Tshirts under Armani suits was very nearly a kit-car instead. In the original two seasons of Miami Vice, Sonny Crockett drove around in a fake Ferrari Daytona replica based on a Corvette chassis. Because of the success of the show, Enzo Ferrari himself offered Miami Vice two Testarossas — if they would destroy the kit cars. This being TV detective-land: cue massive explosion. Why white? Well, even though “Testarossa” literally means “red head,” Ferrari thought the car didn’t stand

It’s also a little quieter (a 2.7 dB reduction) on the inside and you can now get cool-air vented (as well as heated) front seats in the optional top line elite package, which also includes 19-inch wheels and a new blind spot information warning system. Our morning test drive took us south to Carolina Motorsports Park where we spent the entire afternoon chasing either Canadian racer Scott Goodyear or IndyCar Champion Al Unser Jr. around a track that was divided into two circuits. We used the same vehicles that we had driven to the track, other than an upgrade to harder front brake pads to withstand the

pounding that we gave them. The wet weather conditions conﬁrmed what most of us already knew about the Super Handling All-Wheel-Drive system (SH-AWD) — it’s brilliant. In the words of Scott Goodyear: “This car drives itself, it can make an average driver look like a great driver, too bad this system (SH-AWD) wasn’t around (and allowed) when I was racing.” Up to 90 per cent of torque normally goes to the TL’s front wheels for best fuel economy. On hard acceleration or cornering up to 70 per cent can be redirected to the rear wheels. What’s super about SH-AWD is that it can also direct up to 100 per cent of the rear torque available to either the left or the right rear wheel to help correct a vehicle that’s sliding in a corner. In short, the new 2012 Acura TL offers more style, re-

High-ﬂying stunts captivate audiences of all ages From page 43 he made it in ghostly white. The Dukes of Hazzard: 1969 Dodge Charger R/T We know now that the confederate ﬂag painted on the roof of that famous Hemi-orange Challenger is a controversial image with racially insensitive overtones. We know that the very name of the car, the “General Lee,” is a throw-

back to the losing side of the American Civil War, and we know that the Good Ol’ Boys who drive her are hinted at being moonshine-running scofﬂaws. All I knew, when I was four, was, “look at the ﬂying orange car!” I also remember being massively disappointed that dad wouldn’t take our Volvo 240 off of any sweet jumps. Yes, Bo and Luke used more hairspray than Farrah Fawcett and appear to have spray-painted

their legs blue rather than donning actual jeans, per se, but neither they, the nefariously porcine Boss Hogg, bumbling deputies, nor alarmingly short cut-off jean-shorts could steal the spotlight from the General. I know some of you will be asking where the Batmobile is, but while there were several variations on that biff-pow-whammo Futura concept, the General never changed form, staying true to the original format. It’s such a great TV car,

I think I’m going to go weld the doors shut on the Subaru and go looking for “bridge-out” signs. Brendan McAleer is a freelance writer and automotive enthusiast.
