Pot dispensary will open on Saturday

District of North Vancouver to ban sale of marijuana without federal authorization James Weldon jweldon@nsnews.com

A North Vancouver medical marijuana activist says he will open a cannabis dispensary in Deep Cove this weekend despite efforts by the municipality to quash his plans. Re-Leaf Dispensary society will begin selling the drug to licensed users from a new outlet at 4266 Mount Seymour Parkway at 10 a.m. Saturday, according to Ken Starr, the non-profit group’s founder and president. The declaration comes just days after the District of North Vancouver began passage of a bylaw aimed specifically at preventing the dispensary’s operation. The municipal regulation passed first reading at a special meeting of district council June 3, five days after Starr’s intentions became public in a frontpage story in the North Shore News. The new rule would prohibit “the sale, distribution, trade or dispensing of cannabis and its preparations, derivatives and similar synthetic preparations, except as authorized under . . . applicable federal legislation” within municipal boundaries. Since the Re-Leaf dispensary isn’t licensed — Health Canada only issues legal exemptions to medical users and some small-scale growers — the bylaw See DNV page 3

Split WV council approves divisive townhouse project Tessa Holloway tholloway@nsnews.com

THE ofﬁcial community plan and zoning bylaw amendments for the Hollyburn Mews project passed second and third reading at West Vancouver council Monday night following the second day of a long and divisive public hearing process. About 20 more speakers addressed council on Monday on top of the more than 150 submissions made to council prior to that meeting, with a split almost right down the middle between those who support the rezoning of three lots to include three duplexes and laneway houses and those who are adamantly opposed. Council split much the same way as speakers that evening, with Couns. Shannon Walker, Trish Panz, Michael Evison and Mayor Pam Goldsmith-Jones supporting the project and Couns. Bill Soprovich, Michael Smith and Michael Lewis voting to slam the brakes. The OCP amendment has been altered to cover the entire block in response

Anthem singing for 40 years NV teacher just asked for Canucks job Manisha Krishnan mkrishnan@nsnews.com

From page 1

AT the start of each Vancouver Canucks home game against Boston, amidst the chatter and cheers, there’s a moment when all fans pipe down to take in a rendition of the U.S. and Canadian national anthems. If it’s a home match, they’re listening to the voice of retired North Vancouver teacher Richard Loney croon “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Loney has been singing at games since the Canucks joined the National Hockey League in 1970. The singer, who spent his youth playing hockey and doing opera and other music gigs, got the job simply because he had the gall to ask. “I thought I could do the job as well as the folks they had doing it at the time, so I just got a hold of (Canucks publicist) Greg Douglas. I called him and he said: ‘Come down and do a few games, and we’ll see how it goes’,” said Loney, in a phone interview from his Tsawwassen home. Clearly it went well, as Loney immediately began photo Jeff Vinnick, Vancouver Canucks performing both Canadian and U.S. national anthems at RETIRED North Vancouver schoolteacher Richard Loney sings “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the beginning every home game.

Downsizing vs. neighbourhood busting From page 1

to concerns the proposal constituted spot rezoning, and several neighbours of the existing site at 20312091 Esquimalt Ave. have expressed interest in laneway houses on their properties. The amendment also includes special reference to neighbourhood character, and any new project would require council approval. “I understand the trepidation of the neighbours but I think this is a good solution,” said Walker. “It allows council and the design committee to participate in the design to ensure the form and character of the houses that are presented ﬁt in the neighbourhood, but it will also give us time to contemplate how this current project, if passed, ﬁts into the neighbourhood.” Councillors opposed to the project said there was too much public angst about the rezoning to go ahead, and that any change to a single-family neighbourhood should have full support of area residents. Evison said the development process was poorly planned and that the district should lead a process that will start smaller and assuage residents’ concerns. “There’s something wrong with our process. This process doesn’t work,” said Lewis. “This has turned out to be the most divisive thing I’ve seen in my community in my term on council, and I’m really concerned about that. So that tells me something’s not working here.” Many of the speakers, including supporters and

DNV says opposition outweighs support 175-2

detractors, came from far outside the neighbourhood affected. Several people said they wanted to see more projects like this in the district, with many seniors describing their desire for smaller homes with modest yards close to transit and amenities. Others, including a letter written by British Properties resident and businessman Jim Pattison, said they were afraid this project would be replicated elsewhere. That’s why Kathleen Glynn Morris showed up. Though she lives much farther west on Marine Drive, she said she was concerned about the erosion of singlefamily neighbourhoods. “If people buy a single-family home in a single-family neighbourhood, then I don’t think that it’s fair after the fact to change the atmosphere of that community,” she said. “Communities are what make this district.” Walker didn’t buy that. “I don’t think developers are going to be banging on our door because if they look at the process, they’re not going to want to come here,” she said, noting how many meetings and changes have occurred to the project since it was ﬁrst proposed as townhouses in 2006. Others, including Evison and several speakers, noted the towers located a few blocks away and the location near Marine Drive. Basil Davis lives in the affected neighbourhood and said there was no better location in the district. “If this is passed over we might as well totally forget

it and accept the fact that we’re going to have nothing but monster houses, and we’ll just have to put up with it,” he said, one of three homeowners who live in the neighbourhood who spoke in support Monday. Still, others in the neighbourhood wrote in opposition or signed a survey in opposition organized by Fulton Avenue resident Christine Cassidy, who also campaigned against the district’s own laneway housing pilot project. When she spoke, her voice cracked with emotion. “We don’t need it, we don’t want it,” she said. The proponent, Michael Geller, a Vancouver-based architect and developer, spoke to council and assured residents the project will look exactly like the images presented, and said he would work with staff to add two visitor parking spaces following concerns about cars. He said construction could begin in August, pending ﬁnal approval of the bylaw and the granting of the necessary permits. The project includes a community amenity contribution of $116,000. While he admitted to being nervous as councillors took sides and residents spoke in opposition, he said he expected many would change their mind once they saw the project. “This has happened many, many times over the years. Often afterwards people ﬁnd they support it and like it,” he said following the meeting.

effectively bans it from the district. The rule won’t come into effect until next week at the earliest. It still needs to be discussed at a Tuesday public hearing and pass two more readings before it can be enacted. Typically, municipal bylaws are not enforced retroactively. Non-complying zoning or businesses that predate a bylaw are considered “grandfathered.” Starr said he plans to operate anyway, since he feels the proposed ban is unjustified. “If you look in the neighbourhoods where all the other dispensaries are, there have been no increases in criminal behaviour,” he said. “I think people should have access to the medicine; I think it should be in every community.” As a non-profit society, the dispensary won’t need a business licence from the district, he added. But district Coun. Roger Bassam said the municipality had to step in because of the impact the dispensary would have on the surrounding neighbourhood. A staff report issued to council ahead of last week’s meeting raised the spectre of increased noise, traffic, loitering, crime and drug trafficking in the event the shop was allowed to open. The district has received more than 175 emails from residents opposed to the dispensary — versus just two voicing support — since the News article ran, said Bassam. “People just aren’t comfortable with that sort of a business opening up in what is essentially a residential community,” he said. “If there were a bona fide need for medical marijuana in the District of North Vancouver . . . I would think Vancouver Coastal Health would be on it.” Kirk Tousaw, a lawyer for Re-Leaf whose practice revolves largely around medical marijuana cases, says it’s not the municipality’s place to try to prevent the dispensary’s operation. Questions around the distribution of marijuana fall under criminal law, he said, and as such are the purview of the federal government. What’s more, the district’s arguments against its opening are spurious, added Tousaw. “It’s fear mongering and NIMBY-ism,” he said. “There’s no reason to suggest that a dispensaryformedicalmarijuana is going to cause associated community problems any more than a pharmacy, which every single day of the week dispenses much more dangerous and much more valuable and much more addictive products to See Lawyer page 5

W. Van man guilty of assault on daughter

Judge says family reconciliation outweighs jail after molestation Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

A West Vancouver father has been handed a suspended sentence and put on probation for 18 months after admitting he molested his teenaged daughter over a 16-month period. Judge William Rodgers described the man’s actions as a “gross violation of trust” that usually results in a jail sentence. “The moral culpability for your actions is high,” he told the man. Rodgers said he was handing out a lenient sentence because the family has been working towards reconciliation and both Crown and defence lawyers said it was in the daughter’s best interests.

Originally charged with sexual exploitation and sexual assault, the man — who cannot be named in order to protect the identity of his daughter — was sentenced Tuesday in North Vancouver provincial court after pleading guilty to the less-serious charge of assault. The man began to touch his daughter inappropriately by going into her room and massaging her back while she was sleeping, eventually progressing to massaging her breasts and buttocks. During some of the incidents, he would pull off her clothes or lie on her, even when she tried to push him away. The girl was between 15 and 17 at the time. Eventually the girl told a school counsellor and her mother, who confronted the man and told him to leave the home. The family then went to the police. Since the incident, the daughter has struggled with depression and the ability to have normal relationships, she said in a victim impact statement. “I want to be a normal girl who has normal feelings towards guys without feeling like every guy wants to hurt me,” she wrote. But the family has also been working towards reconciliation,

people without any of those kinds of issues.” If the police investigate and move to shut it down, Tousaw is prepared to ﬁght for the dispensary’s continued operation in court, he said. “Let’s not fool ourselves,” said Tousaw. “There are plenty of people who sell marijuana on the black market in the District of North Vancouver. . . . That’s not where you want to send your grandmother to purchase medicine; you want a safe and supportive

environment, and that’s what a compassion club is. It’s a better option. It’s an option that can bring a lot of positive beneﬁts to the community if people would just open their eyes and their hearts a little bit.” Looking ahead to Saturday’s planned opening, Starr said he was nervous. “This is all a little overwhelming for me personally,” he said. “I’m extremely saddened and confused by the opposition I’ve heard so far. . . . There are a lot of sick people on the North Shore who can’t easily travel across town to get their medicine.”

BOOK NOW – SUMMER STAYS FULLY FURNISHED

said Crown counsel Nicole Gregoire, noting both the daughter and her mother were in court for the sentencing. Before he was sentenced, the father apologized to his daughter, his wife and society for his actions. “I have no excuses to make,” he said. “Reading the victim impact statement brought home the gravity of what I’ve done,” he said.

VIEWPOINT Published by North Shore News a division of Postmedia Network Inc., 100-126 East 15th Street, North Vancouver, B.C. V7L 2P9. Doug Foot, publisher. Canadian publications mail sales product agreement No. 40010186.

Cuts both ways I

N some ways, this week’s federal budget might lessen the angst felt by some about a Conservative majority. Despite their new immunity to the opposition, the Tories went with more or less the same budget they proposed as a minority government. What changes they did make were laid out for the public during the election campaign. No surprises — not yet, anyway. Ending the deﬁcit a year faster than planned seems like a good idea on its face, and it’s good news that provincial transfers won’t be part of those cutbacks. But it does leave one wondering where Treasury Board president Tony Clement will ﬁnd $4 billion in annual savings. One of the largest national bills is for

defence, which leaves this newspaper wondering yet again if now is the time to buy a fleet of shiny new strike aircraft. Then there’s public safety, but don’t expect any of the planned new prisons to be cancelled either. The arts are a perennial target for cuts, just as veterans’ affairs are for neglect. And of course the federal government could dial back spending on environmental safeguards, presuming they still spend any money on that now. It’s an idea commonly held by elected officials and easily sold to taxpayers: that significant savings can be found, as if by magic, by simply looking for them. But when cuts are made it means one of two things: that the Tories have run a flabby government for the past five years, or they’re slicing into the muscle. We’ll have to wait and see.

Score one for inﬁll housing in West Van

MORALITY Officer Lou Kingerley of the Hamilton Police Service once asked a sad little waif who came to his professional attention: “Are you pregnant?” She shyly whispered: “Well, I’m just a little bit pregnant.” West Vancouver on Monday became just a little bit pregnant with infill housing — its enthusiasts/ apologists Couns. Michael Evison, Trish Panz, Shannon Walker and Stanley Cuplevel tiebreaker Mayor Pam Goldsmith-Jones in earnest denial that it would set a precedent, but would help the needy West Vancouver old folks (ha), and would contribute to saving the environment, and town hall’s watchdogs would keep keen eye and tooth monitoring the effect that Michael Geller’s stuffing nine homes into three Fulton Avenue lots will have on neighbourhoods, near or far.

This Just In

Trevor Lautens On the next item, past and current taxpayer-funded costs of pre-construction plans for AmblesideNow, it was instructive to watch Walker question whether quite so much was needed — by the end of the fiscal year, $3,384,000 — and whether it would all be spent, needed or not, and chief financial officer Grant McRadu solemnly assuring her that staff will keep spending under regular scrutiny. If you closed your eyes very tight you could almost believe that two human beings were actually

having a serious, spontaneous discussion. Nobody mentioned the money. Just as no one mentions that AmblesideNow would replace the humanscale, street-level businesses in the 1300-block Marine Drive and eventually far beyond, with slick shoppes and sleeker residents generating more upscale business and more taxes, and a glitzier, Grosvenor-designed entrance than the present embarrassing — to those of progressive (meaning business-cosy) bent, like Goldsmith-Jones — small-town look, and how I’d like late great urbanist Jane Jacobs’ opinion of that. On the Geller plan, Bill Soprovich, oldest councillor in the world or at least in the only important part, West Van, reminisced about “the little magic things of living” in West Van. Hey, Sop, you’ve just handed the ad guys a perfect sales line, like for paradisical sunny islands marketed as unspoiled to eager spoilers! Panz favoured “moving forward.” Guaranteed to

paralyze most brains. Also supporting Geller, Evison rejected claims of violation to the ofﬁcial community plan, declaring that clause H3 “allows something a little bit different.” Walker, whom I’d peg as a possible future mayoral candidate and who has the calm assurance helped by being the daughter of Chuck, whose Walker Place on Bellevue was assessed last year at $16 million, disbelieves that “the neighbourhood is under siege.” She also wittily turned aside the view that developers would be heartened by Geller’s successful application: “If (they) see the difﬁculties they won’t be encouraged.” Opposed to the littlebit-pregnant team backing Geller’s project were Couns. Soprovich, Michael Lewis and Michael Smith, all with long private business experience and unlikely candidates for closet socialism, and who, Constant Reader may well have guessed, this observer likens to white knights

protecting the fair maiden’s virtue. Lewis: Odd, the people in favour “don’t live in the neighbourhood. . . . The interests of the people in the immediate neighbourhood trump that of a real estate developer.” Or should. Smith: “We have failed in the fact that this community is divided. . . . We have to seek the right path, and this isn’t it. … The process (has been) driven not by council, but by a developer.” He dissented, “reluctantly.” Citizen speakers at this second act of the public hearing were an interesting study. Maggie Pappas submitted that Geller’s units would be “just what I want,” repeating “affordable” or “affordability” several times. Down-sizers who think such small homes are affordable should check what they give up against what they get. After the dust has settled on the sales, legal, moving and utility re-connection costs, prepare for shock. Another woman, frighteningly modern,

in a household of three, repeatedly and proudly invoked these units’ attraction for “The New Single Family” (and she pronounced the capitals). George Pajari cited “inconsistencies” in two reports from the same consultant just two weeks apart, and urged another postponement of the public meeting until staff produced a substantial, written report. A fascinating deposition: Opposed. The proposal pits neighbour against neighbour. Has a negative impact on West Van’s character. Signed, Jim Pattison. Yup, that Jim Pattison, West Van’s most famous and respected multibillionaire. But all was for nought — a charade from the start, in my view. With councillors divided 3-3, Mayor Goldsmith-Jones, chief executive ofﬁcer whose vote Geller would have good reason to bank on, let his ambitions slide in as easily as Roberto Luongo waves in the puck on one of his bad nights. tlautens@telus.net

It’s mosh-pit politics in B.C. legislature

IF the last few days of the just-wrapped legislative session indicated anything, it was this: The nasty, divisive, brawling nature of B.C. politics has returned.

From the moment Premier Christy Clark took her seat in the house last week, the atmosphere in the legislature changed noticeably. Almost immediately, Clark seemed to get under the skin of New Democrats — most noticeably party leader Adrian Dix — in a manner seldom seen before. And for his part, Dix gets a rise out of B.C. Liberals that his predecessor, Carole James, never got close to attaining. The question periods of the last week were beyond raucous. As Dix and Clark squared off each day, the din became so loud it was hard to hear either of them. Both sides were seething with rage at each other, and Speaker Bill Barisoff seemed to give up trying to maintain any sense of decorum. It hasn’t been like this for quite a long time. Oh, things were pretty bad during the waning days of the Bill Vander Zalm government, and likewise the air was poisonous after the 1996 election, when the B.C. Liberals were all bent out of shape because they had just lost an election they thought was a lock to win. The ﬁrst couple of years

View from the Ledge Keith Baldrey

of the Gordon Campbell government were characterized by a meanness openly displayed to the only two surviving NDP MLAs, Joy MacPhail and Jenny Kwan. But when Carole James took over as NDP leader, relations between the two sides improved signiﬁcantly. James and Campbell never displayed the personal rancour that characterized so many of their predecessors (Glen Clark and Campbell seemed to almost despise each other, and there certainly was no warmth between Dave Barrett and Bill Bennett). Both James and Campbell pledged to create an air of civility and co-operation in the legislature, and it worked for the most part. Oh, the odd question period could get pretty rough; however, things would quiet down fairly quickly. But trust me, those days are long gone.

New Democrats seem to genuinely dislike Clark (in fact, Dix told me during the leadership race that he hoped Clark would win because she would particularly ﬁre up his party’s members). And Clark cements those intense negative feelings because she openly mocks the NDP, making fun of them at every turn. The openly hostile relationship between Clark and Dix was on display not only during question period, but also during debates on the spending estimates for her ofﬁce. Little real information emerged as the two spent much of the time making political speeches or attacking each other. The change from the tone during the Campbell/James era could not be more startling. The personalities of the two party leaders are remarkably different from each of their predecessors. Whereas Campbell disliked politics and loved the minutia of public policy, Clark loves all things about politics and doesn’t seem overly interested in the policy side of things, unless she can work a populist angle into the mix. While James was conciliatory and ready to embrace the political middle, Dix is combative and focused solely on those people who share his political views (in fact, one joke goes, Dix is more like Campbell than Clark is). The brief encounters this

Dix keeps insisting Clark is some far-right wing demon, hell-bent on helping business at every turn. A number of her policies, such as raising the minimum wage, hardly ﬁt that description — but no matter. Meanwhile, Clark is determined to paint Dix as some kind of hard-line leftist, (although

LONGTIME Norgate neighbourhood resident Karen Owen would like to see some other community use for the St. Richard’s Anglican Church site at the corner of Philip Avenue and 15th Street in North Vancouver.

Mailbox

Would this site make a needed community centre?

Dear Editor: My father phoned me last week to tell me about the For Sale sign on the St. Richard’s Anglican Church property in Norgate, North Vancouver. I am glad he called me, as when I ﬁnally did see it I was devastated. I grew up in Norgate and still live here with my family. I attended St. Richard’s Church with my family, but like almost everyone else in the neighborhood I stopped going in the 1980s. St. Richard’s was a busy and important part of this neighbourhood for many years, a comfort to many, not just a sanctuary on Sundays. It was also a busy thrift store, community gathering hall and a preschool that both I and my son attended. My mother passed away earlier this year and perhaps that is what is motivating me to write this. I really do not want to watch another piece of my childhood evaporate. While organized religion does not currently have a place in my life, I

wonder if more can be done to save this landmark, place of so many happy memories for me. Four years ago my twin nieces were baptized there in front of family, friends and the six members of the congregation that tried in vain to keep St. Richard’s alive. IhaveattendeddevelopmentmeetingsinNorth Vancouver regarding the need for a community centre in our area. I wonder if the municipality could perhaps save this landmark and renovate and convert it into the much-needed centre our area needs. I realize that in its current state it may not be appealing to developers and that the lot is small. I would just like to put the idea out there. My memories will remain intact, but I just wish that time could stand still and perhaps St. Richard’s be preserved in a way that will continue to serve the community the way it has for decades. Karen Owen, North Vancouver

INQUIRING REPORTER JUST days away from the Vancouver Canucks’ chance of winning the Stanley Cup, it seems that almost everyone in the city has become a hockey fan. On game days, downtown Vancouver and local bars are full of fans sporting blue and green while hoisting homemade Stanley Cups above their heads. The Canucks and their fans are in almost every newspaper and on almost every local TV channel. But is the hockey coverage just too much? Find us on Facebook to tell us what you think, or add your comment to Inquiring Reporter at www.nsnews.com. — Loren Romei

Dave Assaf North Vancouver I think it’s fantastic. It’s great actually, there’s a lot of in-depth conversations and they pretty much cover everything; almost too much, but not too much.

What do you think of the media coverage of the Vancouver Canucks?

Bryan Mclean North Vancouver It’s great. It’s insane. It’s what it should be. Well maybe a bit too much, but the city is going out of its mind, so it works out.

Alycia Perry North Vancouver I think it’s pretty good so far, it’s pretty positive. But the referees are kind of annoying me, and they’re not covering enough on that.

Lisa McCarthy North Vancouver Outstanding! You can’t go anywhere for more than two minutes without hearing something about the Canucks.

Helena Juhasz North Vancouver I think it’s great, they’re all over it. Every time I turn on the radio I just hear all the news bites that I want to hear.

North Van crash sends one to LGH

TWO large sport utility vehicles collided in a North Vancouver intersection during Monday’s morning rush hour, ﬂipping one of the heavy vehicles onto its roof.

NEWS photo Mike Wakeﬁeld

A Chevy Suburban lies on its roof after a collision with another vehicle Monday in North Vancouver.

Sgt. Peter DeVries, spokesman for the North Vancouver RCMP, said a blue Chevy Suburban was heading north on Bewicke Avenue when it collided with a white Ford Expedition in the Second Street intersection. “There’s a whole green-light-red-light-yellow-light dispute about how the collision actually occurred,” he said. “But (the Expedition) struck the Suburban in the intersection, which ﬂipped it on to its roof and sent it sliding for about 15 feet.” The driver of the Expedition suffered a serious cut on her arm

and was taken to Lions Gate Hospital. There were no other injuries. DeVries said neither speed nor alcohol was a factor in the collision and investigators are still trying to determine which vehicle had the right of way. Anyone who witnessed the crash should contact the North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-1311 and ask for Const. O’Neill. — Benjamin Alldritt

Judges award damages in treecutting and hedge-pruning cases Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

TWO sets of homeowners in West Vancouver have recently been chastised in B.C. Supreme Court for trespassing and taking a chainsaw or pruning shears to their neighbours’ greenery.

LynnValley Road & Mountain Hwy • www.shoplynnvalley.com

Mohammad Shidfar was ordered to pay his former neighbours, Frederick and Katarina Kranz, $97,000 for chopping down 10 trees on their neighbouring British Properties land in 2006. According to court documents, Frederick Kranz got a frantic phone call from his wife one day saying men with chainsaws were chopping down trees on their property. Kranz rushed home and ordered them to stop. But it was too late. The trees on the Kranz’s property at 875 Fairmile had already come down. Justice Joel Groves found Shidfar hadn’t made any attempts to determine the property line before he told a person hired to cut trees for him to go ahead. The Kranzes sued Shidfar, arguing their privacy had been diminished and their property value reduced by the chainsaw massacre. During the trial, real estate agent Darlene Dunnett said the Kranzes were forced to sell their property for $150,000 less

than they otherwise would have because of the “devastation” caused by the tree cutting. “She stated numerous individuals were turned off by the unsightliness of the area where the trees were removed,” according to court documents. But the judge noted the person who bought the property later resold it for $2.1 million without doing anything to it. He awarded the Kranzes $42,000 for the value of the trees, plus $20,000 for loss of privacy and $35,000 in punitive damages. Both the Kranzes and Shidfar have since sold their properties where the tree-cutting occurred. In another West Vancouver case, a different judge ordered Peter and Celia Thomson to pay their neighbour Lori Rowe $12,000 for trespassing on to her property and trimming a hedge by four feet. A 16-foot laurel hedge used to separate the neighbouring properties. But in February 2009, the Thomsons hired a contractor to trim the hedge. Celia Thomson told the judge that her father had planted the hedge on the property in the 1960s. But the judge found a survey proved the base of the hedge had moved down the slope and was now on Rowe’s land. Madam Justice Miriam Gropper ordered the couple to pay their neighbour $12,000 noting they had “refused to consider that their actions regarding the cutting of the hedge constituted trespass.” They were also ordered to pay double their neighbour’s court costs.

OPEN LETTER

Supporting the Low Level Road Improvement Project The proposed Low Level Road Improvement Project will realign the 2-lane Low Level Road to address long-standing community safety and traffic congestion challenges in this area of the North Shore, while enhancing rail and port operations. We strongly support this important infrastructure project as it will provide significant benefits to our community – to residents, businesses, our employees and their families – our province and our country. Local North Shore businesses in the area are a key component of the Canadian economy, driving 10 per cent of the country’s offshore export GDP, and these businesses enable many of us to live and work in North Vancouver. The upgrades associated with the Low Level Road Improvement Project, including separating road and rail traffic and having three fewer at-grade rail crossings, are long overdue and will result in a number of immediate benefits for the community that include: • Reduced congestion on the local road network • Reduced noise for local residents • Improved safety for waterfront employees • Enhanced access for emergency service providers • Increased employment opportunities on the North Shore • More fluid movement of rail cars along the corridor.

Tribute CD resurrects tune Dylan ‘borrowed’

WHATEVER North Vancouver-based children’s entertainer Norman Foote does, he never does it alone, and a new music festival he’s organizing for Saturday is no exception.

When he takes the stage for the family-friendly afternoon show, he’ll be joined by a choir made up of students from Queensbury, Braemar, Montroyal and six other B.C. elementary schools. The students have been practicing with their music teachers for months, says Foote, and he drops in occasionally to work on the project. “They sing, they have sound effects, use their voice in all sorts of ways, upper body movements. It’s amazing the power they feel when they all sing together and how naturally they gravitate towards the songs and rising up to singing really well,” he said, praising the music teachers who work with the kids on the project, often going out of their way to make everything fall into place. “They take the project on. I say hats off to these music teachers because they do it and there’s a lot of extra stuff and extra time.” The new festival, which Foote hopes to make an annual event, will bring a host of talented young performers just beginning their careers to Stanley Park’s Malkin Bowl for two shows, including a few North Shore talents. The ﬁrst, an afternoon show that starts at noon, features Foote, the choir and vaudevillian Al Simmons, and is aimed at the younger kids in particular. The evening 7 p.m. show is aimed at young adults and teens, and features the Sentinel R&B Band and Michelle Creber, one half of a duo with Natalie Sharp, representing West Vancouver. They’ll be joined by The Boom Booms, Abbotsford’s Oh No! Yoko, The Knots, Kate Morgan and the Point Grey Big Band, each playing a handful of their best songs in a show that should continue well into the night. “It’s fun, happy music,” says Michael Toth, the music teacher at Sentinel who began the R&B program about 15 years ago, handing out CDs full of ’60s favourites by soul stalwarts such as Aretha Franklin and James Brown and asking students to learn by ear. “It’s always fun to play on a big stage on a really big PA system,” adds Toth. “R&B music is sort of bar music, and of course I can’t take the kids into the bars to play, so I’m always looking for places to play.” West Vancouver’s Creber, meanwhile, is no stranger to the Malkin Bowl, performing as Annie in Gateway Theatre’s 2010 Christmas production of the same name. Her father, Michael Creber, will back up the duo on stage. The remaining acts have each won acclaim in their

FOR a Bob Dylan tribute, it’s a song that might seem out of place: “House of the Rising Sun” is best known by the stinging chords The Animals played in their breakthrough cover of the song.

ENTERTAINER Norman Foote, one of the organizers behind Vancouver Songfest, says even though many of the musicians are at the start of their careers they know their stuff. own right: Oh No! Yoko’s bouncy, keyboard-heavy alt-pop was featured on CBC Radio’s On The Coast best high school band competition and, yes, all the band’s members are still in Grade 11. The Boom Booms are a little bit more experienced, having built up a loyal following playing their gypsy-reggae style music in shows across Canada and Europe, with a highly engaging live act. Kate Morgan, meanwhile, just wrapped up a tour with Lilith Fair and a show at Squamish Live. In an age where music is something people download from iTunes, Foote emphasizes the power of

a live performance. “People want live stuff. The only thing you can’t download for free is live entertainment, and the energy you feel from a live performance is something you can’t capture with your headphones staring at your computer,” he says. While many of the musicians are just at the start of their careers, they know their stuff, he adds. “People think,‘Oh it’s kids, it’s choir,’ but no, it’s full-on great entertainment.” For more information on the event, visit www. vancouversongfest.com.

Who wrote the song and when is lost to history, but it was ﬁrst recorded in 1933 and later became a staple of Woody Guthrie, who sounded almost happy as he sang such tragic lyrics. Historians have speculated endlessly on what exactly the “House of the Rising Sun” was, alternatively a brothel, a women’s prison or gambling den, and searched for the real house through New Orleans storied underbelly. The lyrics change, but the feeling is the same: a sorrow-ﬁlled warning of a life destroyed by gambling and vice. It’s now been recorded by everyone and their cat, including Vancouver’s The Be Good Tanyas, who do a unique See Van Ronk page 24

Wicked’s power is almost spellbinding Music underwhelms in a clever, visually spectacular show ■ Wicked, music and lyrics Stephen Schwartz, book Winnie Holzman, A Broadway Across Canada production at Queen Elizabeth Theatre to June 26. Tickets: 604-280-4444.

Martin Millerchip mmillerchip@nsnews.com

THERE is power in Wicked of the best kind — transformative. It’s what audiences have responded to — and in doing so turned what was essentially a Broadway ﬂop into one of the most successful musicals of the last 10 years. Unfortunately, the reason for the tepid critical response to Wicked’s opening remains: some of Stephen Schwarz’s music is undistinguished with much of it indistinguishable. But Wicked offers its audience so much more than the Wizard of Oz movie that it almost didn’t matter that I went into the Queen E Theatre humming “We’re Off to See the Wizard” and came out trying vainly to recall the melody of “Defying Gravity” or “For Good.” Winnie Holzman’s book, on the other hand, is ultimately compelling — if a triﬂe on the long side. It’s based on the 1995 novel Wicked: The Life and Times of The Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire that in turn revisits L. Frank Baum’s 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Holzman, who created TV’s My So-Called Life, asks what if the witches who Dorothy encountered were not what they seemed. What if there other curtains to be drawn than the one hiding the frightened old wizard? The plot revolves around the life-altering relationship between Elphaba and Galinda that begins at a somewhat unmagical university tasked with spotting potential wizards. Galinda, of course, will become Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, and See Wizard page 30

Jenna Grant, 22, and her collection of local artists and entrepreneurs are selling fashion and gift items in a temporary retail space at the Rize condominium development at Kingsway and Broadway in Vancouver. They’ve assembled their wares under the store name Concordia. Concordia is the ancient Roman Goddess for peace and harmony. Grant said she chose the name because it represents the coming together of artists and entrepreneurs at the Rize. Rize Alliance Properties Ltd. is offering the retail space free of charge to local entrepreneurs to support local business, according to the developer’s website. Grant is selling her teacup candles alongside jewelry, giftwares, clothing, housewares and art by other

Grant said she knows many people who are trying to make it in the creative world, as artists or fashion designers, and this motivated her to open the store at the Rize. “There’s so many young people my age . . . that are just looking for that opportunity to get the exposure for themselves and get themselves out there and I think sometimes it’s hard to bridge the gap from making crafts and art at home and then getting into a retail space and getting it to consumers,” she said. Five of the 13 artists featured at Concordia are from the North Shore. Grant said gathering artists for the store was easy because word of the initiative quickly spread through the design community. Among the featured artists is fashion student Emily Joe Heaps, whose clothing designs are made from fabric donated by Retro Rock Vintage. Grant said all the items for sale are moderately priced and she thinks the community will be supportive of the locally handmade products. “Despite Canada’s economic state, I think that the demand for good quality locally made products is strong.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BYLAW 7894

Americana-style version. Yet Dylan’s version is easily one of the best. The song is featured on Dylan’s first album, a collection of mostly traditional folk covers that went unnoticed at the time of its 1962 release. Heck, it’s not even his composition: he “borrowed” the guitar arrangement from Dave Van Ronk, who spells out in the Dylan documentary, No Direction Home, how the famous singer asked permission to record the song after the track had already been laid. Oops, said Dylan, when Van Ronk told him no. Too late. Van Ronk was forced to pull this song from his own repertoire on stage after audiences accused him of cribbing Dylan, though he later did record his own version. No worries, The Animals returned the favour to Dylan years later. Still, Dylan’s version is haunting. His voice, filled with longing, warbles in an unfamiliar fashion for the legendary songwriter, rising to a crescendo at just the right moment. For a singer remembered least for his singing, this is one of the few songs of his that, at least esthetically, a cover artist faces a difficult challenge. In that regard, Guy Davis, who tackles the storied piece on Red House Records’ new tribute album, A Nod to Bob 2: An Artists Tribute to Bob Dylan on his 70th Birthday, does an admirable job. Davis, a roots performer familiar to North Shore audiences from shows at Capilano University, uses an organ in the song — a later Dylan standby — and adds a more country blues feel to his cover that’s well suited to his own style. Still, unlike Dylan and Guthrie, he follows The Animals’ lead in switching the gender of the subject to male: not uncommon, but it alters the meaning of the song. As well, it lacks the same emotional resonance as Dylan’s and even The Animals’ version, which can both yank at the heart some 50 years later. Still, Davis shows that even after 80 years of recordings a good artist can still come up with an original version of the “House of the Rising Sun,” a song that will surely be replayed and reimagined over again for as long as so many can relate to feelings of regret.

FILM

Super 8 creates its own mayhem ■ Super 8. Written and directed by J.J. Abrams. Starring Joel Courtney, Elle Fanning, Kyle Chandler. Rating: 8 (out of 10)

SHOWTIMES

Julie Crawford Contributing Writer My little sister had a plush ET doll that she used to sleep with back in the early ’80s. Almost 30 years later Spielberg’s at it again — as producer this time — though you won’t want to cosy up to what’s terrorizing the small Ohio town in Super 8. The film has several similarities to Spielberg’s 1982 classic — kids as heroes, big military as bad guys, those cool BMX bikes — but the film actually belongs to writer and director J.J. Abrams, he of such disaster-fests as Cloverfield and Lost. As a result, the sweetness is scaled down and the firepower is dialed up: not much of Lillian, Ohio, is left standing once Abrams is through with it. Things start with a funeral. Four months later Joe Lamb (newcomer Joel Courtney) is still trying to cope with the loss of his mom. Grief-stricken dad Jackson (Kyle Chandler) is the deputy sheriff, and too busy taking care of everyone else in

town to comfort his son. The only constant in Joe’s life is the movie he and his friends are making, a zombie film that they plan to enter in an Ohio film festival. Cary (Ryan Lee) is the overzealous pyrotechnics guy; The bossiest of this crew is the director (no surprise there): Charles (another newcomer, Riley Griffiths) enlists the help of a girl in order to up the emotional ante of the zombie plot. Enter Alice (Elle Fanning), underage driver, middle-school dream girl. One playful zombie bite and Joe is smitten. While filming a scene for their movie, there is a horrific train crash nearby, and the kids narrowly escape with their lives. It’s not the spectacular crash, but rather the aftermath, that will prove to be the scariest thing to hit the town. Things start getting weird. Dogs disappear, stores are ransacked, and the military moves in. While some townsfolk suspect a Soviet invasion, deputy Jack deals with the chaos. As for the kids, they keep mum about what they have seen, until they develop the film on their Super 8 camera. (They ask for a rush job on the film, but this is the ’70s, and express service means three days.) The clues to just what is tormenting the town unspool slowly: “I’m going to bait him and catch him,” declares an evil colonel (Noah Emmerich). But the shadowy menace isn’t fully revealed until the last 20 minutes. It’s all very old-school monster movie, where we see victims turn and scream in terror just before they’re snatched. Abrams is careful to construct a meaningful story to balance out the mayhem in this unabashedly kid-centric film. It’s a first-love story, a parenting how-not-to, and a redemptive tale all rolled into one. It’s just that along with our characters’ usual emotional crises is the ever-present fear of being eaten. Actors both veteran and new do a great job of holding audience interest while we wait for the monster. Kids may be the heroes, but use caution if bringing younger viewers: there are some big, deafeningly loud and scary moments here, and the language is much more colourful than in ET’s day.

VISUAL ARTS

Gallery featuring wide range at festival

From page 13

(June 28-July 3). For the first time this year, festival organizers focused on performance as well and are presenting two events with each exhibition. Community members can catch live performances at each of the show openings, held every Tuesday in June from 7 to 9 p.m.; as well as at Sunday afternoon celebrations, from 1 to 4 p.m. All events and activities are free. “I think there’s enough to keep people coming back to each of these events,” says Cavanaugh. “Everything is going to be a little bit different. It’s an exciting lineup.” The festival’s opening show, Remix, on now, features four artists who’ve revisited the stories they first heard as children and interpreted them in different ways. “If you want to think of it as remixing fairy tales, that’s basically, in a nutshell, the concept,” says Cavanaugh. For example, exhibiting artist Rachael Ashe is displaying her altered books. “She actually carves into books and builds dioramas in them or builds on top of them or spreads them open and explores art possibilities within the pages,” says Cavanaugh. Remix will wrap Sunday, June 12, with an afternoon celebration. “We’re asking people to come dressed as fairy tale characters,” she says. Guests can meet with the artists, listen to a fairy tale reading, get their face painted by a professional makeup artist and watch puppeteers Sandy Buck and Chad Hershler’s version of Oscar Wilde’s The Birthday of the Infanta. While children will certainly enjoy the festivities, Sunday’s event is suitable for all ages. “It’s interesting to see that some of the artists have explored the darker side of fairy tales,” says Cavanaugh. “They were presented initially as cautionary tales and to some extent they’ve been Disneyfied and so some of them are getting back to the darker theme.” The festival’s second exhibition, Recharge, opens next week. It features a wide range of work by members of the artist collective Arts Off Main, which operates a gallery and store space at 216 East 28th Ave. in Vancouver. Artist-run, members share the responsibility of managing the space and the daily operations, as well as supplying the gallery with their own individual artwork. Exhibiting Vancouver artist Matthew Freed says they’re excited about the opportunity to be part of the Seymour Art Festival. “One of our goals as a collective is to reach out to different areas of the city, let people know that we exist and let people know of the diversity that the gallery has,” he says. “It seemed like a good opportunity to broaden our horizons and let people know about us and what we’re about.” “Any show that you participate in that’s out of the norm gives you an opportunity to try new things, to experiment with your craft and see how people respond to it. So it was really just about recharging our own individual creativity and inspiration,” he adds. At the gallery, Freed will be showing more than 20 of his contemporary works of pottery.

“One thing that’s really interesting about our collective is that we all have such unique styles and mediums and so I think one thing that people will really appreciate about the show is the diversity that’s displayed within the gallery,” he says. Recharge’s opening reception, set for Tuesday, June 14, will feature guitar and accordion duo Dave Taylor and Tyson Naylor while at the June 19 afternoon celebration, the upbeat six-piece Company B Jazz Band will take the stage. The festival’s third exhibition, Refresh, brings together a group of artists who are ﬁrmly committed to the theme. That will be evident at the opening reception, June 21, which features an audience-inclusive event. “They’re going to keep things fresh throughout the evening by any means necessary,” says Cavanaugh. At Refresh’s June 26 afternoon celebration, the featured artists

will man stations where they’ll interpret a variety of topics that are of interest to them. The closing show of the Seymour Art Festival, Reconnect, sees the artists explore their relationships with each other and with those in their own lives. North Vancouver’s Peter and Tony Chotem will entertain at the opening reception on June 28 and July 3’s afternoon celebration will showcase an early form of pottery and feature entertainment by the Double Helix Jazz Trio. “I welcome summertime and I welcome the opportunity to throw the doors open to the cultural centre and I’d really like to see people spilling in and spilling out,” says Cavanaugh. “If we have some great weather, we’ll have a lot of tourists as well and a lot of people coming down to the Cove to enjoy the natural scenery as well, so they can have a little art with their trees.”

ARTHRITIS

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 #1 confuse you. Nick A. Jerch, President We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100’s of 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. We supply EVIDENCE!

is telling her back story to illustrate that the Wicked Witch of the West was once a friend who just happened to have been born with fetal green elixir syndrome. They are not instant friends. Galinda is only the most successful girl in school — her character seems based on the Reese Witherspoon role in Legally Blonde — while Elphaba hasn’t had much time for girlish things like learning how to dance and boyfriends, what with being green and the duty of looking after her wheelchair-bound sister, Nessarose. But events conspire to change that — and many other things. I’m not going to give them away, because much of the enjoyment of this show is based on its surprising connections to what we know — or think we know — from the The Wizard of Oz. Broadway Across Canada has thrown more money than is often the case at a touring production and Wicked’s visuals are, well, wicked. The costume design by Susan Hilferty won a Tony in 2004 and you can see why. The eye candy extends to the show’s sets and lighting, which on occasion combine to amaze. The ensemble sings with power, but the supporting characters are short-changed in terms of song and dance — Don Amendolia’s sorry shufﬂe as the Wizard of Oz only made me wish for Charles Durning’s joyful sidestep in The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas. As for the leads, Anne Brummel can soar and belt with the best, while Natalie Daradich’s nasal quality suits the comedy of her role more than harmonies with Brummel. If I could only click my heels and wish for tunes. . . .

CAMPBELL, Eileen Lenore March 20, 1916 - June 7, 2011 Eileen Lenore died peacefully after spending her final years in the compassionate arms of the staff at The West Van Care Centre. Born in Kindersley, Saskatchewan, and raised in Kamloops, Eileen graduated from Royal Inland Hospital then worked as a public health nurse in Vancouver. She and Charlie married in 1946 and moved to West Van to raise kids in her log house by the sea where, into her nineties, she unconditionally devoted herself to her family. And to everyone who crossed her threshold, she served a delicious helping of hospitality. She enjoyed the challenge and the camaraderie of competitive bridge, and the break of dawn often found Eileen working out with her friends in the Y’s heart fit class. For many years she was a tireless volunteer at the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Thrift Shop in Lynn Valley. Donations to the CMHA would be a fitting tribute to her life. On June 14, at 1 p.m. in the West Vancouver United Church, 2062 Esquimalt Avenue, her loving husband and her grateful children, Sheila Johnston (David), Ken (Michelle), Laurene Nowak (Alain) and Charles (Gillian Johnstone), and their children and grandchildren, will join together with Eileen’s cherished friends to bless her life, and consecrate her spirit.

She was an avid water skier and enjoyed many years atWoods Lake swimming and skiing with her children – but no cliff diving! Patty was a true friend, both generous and loyal. Her smile was quick and arresting, and would light up every room she walked into. She delighted in spending time with her family and made everyone welcome in her home. Patty took great pleasure in her garden and “the peace among the flowers.” She had a huge heart and a quirky sense of humor. Patty truly lived life to the fullest and will be missed beyond belief by all those who knew and loved her. Broadie and Bug (aka Dusty) wait patiently by the door. We can take comfort that she is walking hand and hand with her angel Murphy ... A mass of Christian burial celebrating Patty’s life will be held at Christ the Redeemer Church, 599 Keith Rd.,West Vancouver on Saturday, June 11th at 12:30 p.m. Thank you to all of Patty’s friends including Mary Clare, Diane, and Lorraine ... and especially dear friend Lisa, for your support and love.

SANKEY - Roland Harvey August 15, 1925 - June 2, 2011 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, grandfather and greatgrandfather, Roland Harvey Sankey, on June 2, 2011. He will be deeply missed by his children Wayne (Judy) and Dale (Richard); grandchildren Jennifer (Dan), Jasmine (Phil), Stephen and Brittany; and great grandchildren Maia and Thomas. He was predeceased by his wife Elsie, the love of his life.

Rollie was born of a pioneering family and had a great knowledge of the city’s history. In February 1944, at the age of 18, he joined the army (Canadian Scottish Regiment, Princess Mary’s). After being sent to England, he found Elsie again. They married right after the war and returned to Vancouver in 1946 to raise a family. He worked as a bus driver, immigration officer, and with Canada Manpower. Rollie and Elsie loved to travel and enjoyed many adventures, returning on several occasions to England and Europe. Rollie had a curiosity about the world and was a lifelong learner. He loved gardening, learning new languages, and he was a true handyman. Rollie loved and was deeply dedicated to his family. We will greatly miss his wisdom, pointed advice, and steadfast presence. We would like to thank the caring compassionate nurses of Lions Gate Hospital, 7 West and the North Vancouver Hospice; Dr. Annette McCall and Dr. Peter Swartz. A memorial Service will take place Saturday, June 11th at 10am at the Boal Chapel, 1505 Lillooet Road, North Vancouver, BC. No flowers by request.

2011 Scion tC

Coupe keeps buyers coming back

David Chao Contributing writer

WHILE many people are glad that Toyota’s youth-oriented Scion brand has ﬁnally come to Canada, most would also suggest that it took too long to get here.

AGING GRACEFULLY Columnist Brendan McAleer tackles the issue of warranties in this week’s Grinding Gears column. Read it online at www.nsnews.com/ driving.

While Scion is “new” to Canada, it no longer carries the cool factor it did when the brand launched in 2002. It’s the same path travelled by many vehicles over the years, such as the Volkswagen New Beetle and Mini Cooper, because there’s always something newer and more interesting around the corner. The difference is that VW and Mini sold cars to us while our attention was still captured. Scion hasn’t. This isn’t to say that Scion won’t succeed in Canada, but the brand will have to evolve such that consumers see it less as a marketing strategy and more as a legitimate automaker. Lexus went through the same growing pains in the ’90s and has clearly done just ﬁne, so Scion has history and experience on its side.

More importantly, Scion has the tC coupe. The fivedoor xB gets the most attention, but the tC has done its fair share over the past decade, accounting for a significant portion of Scion’s sales. Redesigned for 2011, it remains a simple, effective and economical two-door coupe, competing in a market that’s essentially limited to the Honda Civic Coupe and CR-Z hatchback, Kia Forte Koup, Mitsubishi Eclipse and — if you can live with a base model — the Ford Mustang. That’s a far cry from the ’90s, a time when practical sports coupes were far more prevalent on city streets. Compared to its most direct competitors, the tC presents an intriguing package. It looks great on the outside, but some consumers will find the interior to be too basic next to the sophisticated Civic and Forte. Scion’s philosophy is to provide blank canvases that owners can customize with accessories and upgrades, but there’s very little that can be done to the tC’s cockpit. Still, audiophiles will appreciate the ability to easily swap out the stereo for an aftermarket unit, and might even be happy with

REDESIGNED for 2011, the Scion tC is a simple, effective and economical twodoor coupe. It’s available at Jim Pattison Toyota Northshore, at 849 Automall Dr. Scion’s excellent Pioneer and Alpine systems. Scion and Toyota are relying on the tC to do a lot. It’s the most aggressively themed product in Toyota’s line-up, bringing some emotion to an

otherwise laid-back automaker and carrying on the legacy of the Celica and the MR2. And yet, it’s the most conservative of Scion vehicles next to the quirky xA, xB and iQ hatchbacks.

More importantly, it’s thoughtful, well-equipped, and priced right for the young adults that make up the Scion demographic. The tC isn’t See Body page 41

necessarily better than a Civic or a Forte Koup, but it will definitely make you think twice before you sign on the dotted line. That’s exactly what Scion needs. Design At a glance, the secondgeneration tC doesn’t look much different from the original. However, while the car’s dimensions haven’t changed much, all of the body panels have been redesigned to give it a more aggressive exterior that should appeal more broadly to men. The most striking features are the tall rear quarter panel that rises up to meet the roofline, giving the coupe a very distinctive profile, and the panoramic glass roof that is standard on every tC. If you want to grab attention, the tC definitely has a lot going for it. In keeping with Scion’s desire to have owners personalize their cars, the tC’s cabin is as minimalist as it gets. That’s

Scion tC’s low starting price is attractive

From page 41

not terrible by any means, but not what you’d expect from a Toyota-built vehicle. Performance Power comes from a 2.5litre inline-four borrowed from the Toyota Camry and RAV4, producing 180 horsepower and

173 foot-pounds of torque. It’s tied to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. The tC is a fun car to drive, but you wouldn’t call it a true sports car. The direct, predictable steering and good road feedback are high points, but there’s a bit of body roll and the car works hard to turn and accelerate. Ride quality is excellent and overall, I like the balance. If you want to compete with a Civic SI Coupe, you’ll have to load the tC out with performance parts from the Toyota Racing Development

(TRD) catalogue, which include a short-throw shifter, air ﬁlter, exhaust system, frontstrut brace, lowering springs and 19-inch wheels. Doing so will make the tC a lot more interesting to drive, but add signiﬁcantly to the cost. Environment Perhaps one of the best things about the tC is something that a lot of people don’t realize: it’s a hatchback. Rather than equipping it with a tiny trunk opening — as some automakers are known to do — Scion made the tC a fastback hatch from day one. The

tall and wide hatch opening and 60/40 split-folding rear seats add significantly to the car’s overall practicality. Inside, the small tC boasts a surprising amount of space that’s put to good use, with a large glovebox and excellent front cupholders. There’s even decent room in the back thanks to the unusual roof proportions and reclining rear seats, though taller folk will still find it cramped. The front bucket seats are excellent, proving both comfortable and supportive, and the flat-bottomed, thick-grip steering wheel is

fantastic. The base audio setup features a high-tech Pioneer deck with eight speakers, USB input and an outlet to add an external amp and subwoofer. Alternatively, the tC can be had with a Premium Alpine System with a 4.3-inch touch screen and three outlets for additional speakers. If that’s not enough — and for many tC owners it won’t be — it’s time to visit your favourite audio store. Features The tC sells for $20,850 in a single, well-equipped trim level, which consumers can add to from a list of accessories. Standard features include ABS, vehicle stability control, trac-

tion control, cruise control, air conditioning, tilt-and-telescope steering, power windows, remote keyless entry, panoramic glass roof, Bluetooth, eightspeaker Pioneer audio system and front/side/knee/sidecurtain airbags. In addition to TRD performance parts, notable options include heated leather seats, fog lamps, rear spoiler and the Alpine audio system. Fuel efﬁciency with the manual transmission is rated at 8.9 litres/100 kilometres in the city and 6.3 l/100 km on the highway. Thumbs up

Minimalist interior could be improved From page 42

Superb exterior design; practical interior and useful hatch; excellent audio systems; and low starting price. Thumbs down Minimalist interior; and somewhat generic design. The bottom line Halfway between Toyota and Scion, you’ll ﬁnd the tC. Competitors ■ Ford Mustang The Mustang starts at $22,999, equipped with a 3.7-litre V6 producing 305 h.p. and 280 foot-pounds of torque. The only real similarities to the tC are the two doors and four wheels, but if you’re going to spend $21,000 on a Scion, it’s worth considering $23,000 for a Mustang. There is, of course, a variety of bigger and more powerful V8 engines available, but they put the pony car into a completely different performance and price range. ■ Honda Civic Coupe Redesigned for 2012, the Civic Coupe starts at $17,990

with a 1.8-litre inline-four producing 140 h.p. and 128 foot-pounds of torque. Paying $25,990 will get you the Hot-rod Si, boasting a 2.4-litre inline-four with 201 h.p. and 170 foot-pounds of torque. The new Civic is an evolution of the highly successful model introduced in 2006, with swoopier styling and greater fuel efﬁciency. However, it’s disappointing that Honda has stuck with ﬁvespeed manual and automatic transmissions in non-SI models when everyone else has moved to six speeds. ■ Kia Forte Koup The starting price is $18,995 for the Forte Koup, which comes with a 2.0-litre inline-four with 156 h.p. and 144 foot-pounds of torque, or a 2.4-litre inline-four generating 173 h.p. and 168 footpounds of torque. Led by a trio of compact cars — the Forte sedan, Koup and Forte5 hatch — Kia is strengthening its identity with some really fantastic design efforts.
