Mail woes hurt Harvest fundraising Tessa Holloway tholloway@nsnews.com

THE Canada Post lockout has hit the Harvest Project hard right in the middle of its spring fundraising drive.

The local non-profit organization includes a donation form every year in their spring mail-out, which was sent without any trouble and started hitting mailboxes around the third week of May. But right as the donations began to trickle in, rotating strikes began at Canada Post and after two weeks the crown corporation locked out its employees. “Rather than building nicely over two months of regular anticipated support, (the fundraising drive) kind of crashed to the ground after two weeks before it declined to basically zero,” said Kevin Lee, development officer for the Harvest Project. Other messages seem to have no trouble, however. “Lord knows our bills were all getting through,” added Lee. He’s worried that by the time the strike ends, the spring newsletter will be out of mind for many residents who held off sending their donor information because of the strike. They’re considering another mail-out in the summer, he said, but that’s also a tough time for finding donations. They’re encouraging donors to donate via the website or in person at 1073 See Mail page 3

DNV votes to ban pot dispensaries Benjamin Alldritt balldritt@nsnews.com

DEEP Cove resident Ken Starr is blasting District of North Vancouver councillors for blocking his plans to open a medical marijuana dispensary in a commercial space just off Mount Seymour Parkway. At a special meeting Tuesday, district council voted unanimously to ban dispensaries unless the federal government decides to regulate them. “I don’t think any one of them has a soul in there,” Starr said after the vote. “They all say they’re compassionate, but not in my backyard. Typical form of NIMBYism. It’s very disheartening and

sad. I’ve lost hope in any of those councillors and a lot of people who have spoken up against this. It’s a sad mark on humanity.” The vote follows a packed public hearing held last week, in which medical marijuana patients, cannabis activists and Deep Cove residents made their arguments for and against. Although the bylaw covers the entire district, it was brought forward in response to Starr’s Re-Leaf Dispensary Society. Police and district staff prevented Starr from opening the dispensary in early June. “This has been a very extensive process,” said Coun. Doug

MacKay-Dunn, brandishing a large binder of documents. “I found the entire discussion, for me, quite instructive and rather disappointing in terms of what action has not been taken by the federal government to deal with what I think is a pressing national issue — providing appropriate beneﬁts to those suffering in pain and agony. That’s a decision that must be decided at the federal level, not in this room.” MacKay-Dunn said he had plenty of contact with marijuana, medical and otherwise, during his 31-year career with the Vancouver Police Department. “I wasn’t one to bust someone for a half a bag of marijuana or whatever,” he said. “I’m not a rabid narc. In fact, I met people See Deep page 3

Bike thief fails to end her ride

Determined rider completes cancer fundraiser

Tessa Holloway tholloway@nsnews.com

Manisha Krishnan mkrishnan@nsnews.com

WEST Vancouver will add some bite to their bylaw enforcement with plans to hire a new bylaw ofﬁcer speciﬁcally to deal with animal control.

AFTER months of preparing for the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer, a North Vancouver woman’s efforts were almost thwarted when a thief stole her bicycle the night before the event. In early May, Lucille Pellew, 61, forked over more than $2,000 for a brand new Cannondale Bicycle, with the goal of participating in the Ride to Conquer Cancer for the second year in a row on June 18-19. The ride, which follows a 237-kilometre route from Cloverdale, B.C. to Redmond, NEWS photo Kevin Hill Wash., is a huge annual fundraiser that supports research LUCILLE Pellew sits astride her replacement bike that Bicycle Sports Pacific employee Joe Reid stayed late at the B.C. Cancer Agency. to help her set up the night before the Ride to Conquer Cancer was due to start. For Pellew, the cause hits I even had a little teddy bear, because my friend’s little stayed there and helped me and I think I left there at 9 very close to home. “One of my main reasons (for joining) was that my boy has terminal cancer and I had his little teddy bear p.m.,” said Pellew. That man was Joe Reid, who helped Pellew in son-in-law’s mom died at my age, she was the grandma on there.” When she came back outside, no more than five adjusting the bike to fit and installing new fenders on of my two granddaughters,” said the Lower Lonsdale resident, adding her niece also died a few years ago of minutes later, the bicycle was gone. Pellew’s first it. Pellew ended up making good time while on the a brain tumour and her brother passed away of colon reaction was disbelief. “I just said to everybody, ‘Oh my gosh, it’s gone,’ ride, although she had to stop along the way for help cancer. Normally a marathon runner, Pellew completed and I started crying and one man stopped and gave me from mechanics. “I think maybe I hurt a little bit in a different place, last year’s ride on her road bike/mountain bike hybrid, the police number because I couldn’t think of what to but not much. It was just my butt got a little bit more but this time around she headed to North Vancouver’s do.” She reported the incident to the North Vancouver sore than it did on the other bike,” she said.

Pellew’s team, The She followed up with weekly visits to the shop to RCMP and then phoned the staff at Bicycle Sports get her tires pumped and long training rides on the Pacific, which had been very helpful to her over the past Horny Goats — a group of employees from Phillips, weekends.

The woman she spoke to offered Hagar and North — raised the most money, an Pellew had her tires checked and then popped into a her a spare bike that was slightly too small, but Pellew impressive $510,000. “Cancer just involves so many people,” said Pellew, had to decline, especially because she was dealing with dollar store near the Canadian Tire on Main Street. “I thought I’d go and get a rain poncho to put over a knee injury stemming from a fall during training.

through my service who were using marijuana because they were dealing with chemotherapy and they told me it was quite successful. So I didn’t kick in their door in the middle of the night and conduct a drug search. It’s not about that.” The issue, said each member of councillor, was land use. “One would have to be made of stone to not have empathy for these people and their family members who suffer alongside them,” said Coun. Alan Nixon. “But we’ve also heard from a very signiﬁcant number of people who simply don’t want a marijuana dispensary in their neighbourhood, in close proximity to schools and in many cases where students would pass by the front door of the proposed establishment on a regular basis.” “It’s hardly a central location on the North Shore,” said Coun. Lisa Muri, who choked back tears at the recollection of some of last week’s presentations. “From a planning perspective, even if it was legal, the regional draw and impacts would have

to be considered to ﬁnd an appropriate location.” “I really feel for people who are in that situation,” Coun. Mike Little said. “I want to do everything in our power to show our community can be a compassionate community that works very hard to reduce the stigmas attached to people who need help.” But council’s sympathetic words didn’t ring true to Starr, who said district council framed the debate around land use in order to “pass the buck” to the federal government. “I think they missed a huge opportunity — the chance to have a dispensary in their neighbourhood, to help people, to show children and adults alike that this could help so many people, the opportunity for me to be there and educate people.” Starr said he wasn’t sure what his next move would be, but said he is locked into a two-year lease for the dispensary’s premises. “I hope I have a compassionate landlord, or it could go very bad for my family, for trying to do something good,” he said.

The six-month position will focus mostly on enforcing bylaws for dog owners at Ambleside Park and reminding owners to pick up after their dogs, keep their dog on a leash as well as not to wander into the pedestrian-only sections of the Seawalk. Right now, bylaw officers mostly only respond to complaints about dogs, but staff deal with constant calls on the issues of dogs in parks, including 237 in 2010 alone. Dogs are allowed in most parks in the district, but on-leash. This is a chance to be proactive, said Steve Simmonds, manager of bylaw and licensing for the district. He said the new officer will take a mostly educational approach, handing out free inexpensive leashes and poobag holders that attach to leashes, informing people about the bylaws for dogs in parks. “We’re going to do this voluntarily, not go out and ticket,” he said after Monday night’s council meeting, where the position was approved by unanimous vote. This is not the first time the district has tried to address the problem, he said, but See Manager page 5

More than 85 per cent of our donations come in by mail,” he said. Lee said they are carefully watching their spending and at this point it’s not an emergency.

Violent mugger skips while on probation RCMP seek public’s help in locating woman convicted of assault and robbery

Tessa Holloway tholloway@nsnews.com

A woman convicted of two vicious muggings that included an assault on a 76-year-old woman has broken her probation conditions and is wanted by police.

Tammy Condo plead guilty along with Justin Peltier to multiple charges of assault and robbery earlier this year stemming from a string of muggings in fall of 2010. In May, Condo was sentenced to time served plus three years probation. One of the conditions was that Condo, 39, live at an approved residence, but

previously had run into complaints about the number of tickets being handed out. “The direction from council was to go out and ticket people previously. They wanted to deal with frustrations due to lack of compliance, but this time focus is on education, which is different,” he explained, adding he hopes people will be receptive to the officers. As well, he said the officers will focus mostly on bylaws that cause the most difficulty, in particular in parks. The budget for the new position is $42,000, which includes $5,000 for promotional material, and will be operated on a trial basis this year and funded through higher than anticipated bylaw revenues to date, according to the report to council. Staff will report back with a review of the program at a later date.

North Vancouver RCMP Corp. Richard De Jong said she’s since left that home and police don’t know where she is. Condo is described as ﬁve feet nine inches tall, 185 pounds with brown hair, brown eyes and of First Nations descent. She has a tattoo of a cougar on her left calf and a butterﬂy on her right calf. The assaults last year included one at a North Vancouver bus stop where Condo punched a 76-year-old woman in the face. The victim fell and broke her leg, requiring surgery. Two days later, Condo struck a man who had intervened in a second mugging attempt on Marine Drive with a bag of canned food, cutting him for six stitches. According to the judge in the case, the motivation was to get money for drugs and alcohol. Anyone with information is asked to call the North Vancouver RCMP at 604985-1311 and ask for Const.

Just asking F

OR the governing Liberal party, the Basi-Virk B.C. Rail debacle must feel like the political zombie that won’t go away. Just when they think the nasty scandal has died once and for all, it comes back to make life difﬁcult again. As talk of a fall provincial election starts to swirl, the Basi-Virk saga is out of its shallow grave once more and haunting the corridors of power. That’s because Auditor General John Doyle has now gone to court to force the government to hand over documents related to the province’s decision to pick up the $6-million legal tab for the duo. Public outrage quickly mounted when it was revealed that as part of a plea deal negotiated by the pair, the government would agree to pay those legal fees, despite government policy to

the contrary for bureaucrats who plead guilty. Critics have long called for citizens to know why and how this decision was made, but have so far been given little information by politicians anxious to distance themselves from the ﬁasco. Now the auditor general is asking similar questions. Doyle said he needs the information to ensure the payouts were made within legal authority and established policy. That all makes sense. If there were no controls over the legal bills and if nobody was minding the provincial piggy bank, that’s something the public needs to know. If Doyle manages to shed any light on the deal with the $6-million men, he’ll be the ﬁrst in a long line of questioners to do so.

There is plenty of blame to go around

ROUNDING up the suspects responsible for Hockey Riot in Canada:

Pierre Elliott Trudeau: Um, er, isn’t he dead? Leftist Trudeau’s legacy of determinedly keeping property rights out of his famed charter lives on. Three B.C. Liberal MLAs, Garde Gardom, Pat McGeer and Allan Williams, were prominent among those who failed to persuade Trudeau otherwise. The absence of property rights percolates through Canadian society and influences attitudes, so that smashing and looting of stores isn’t as important as (exploitation of) free speech, free assembly, etc. Vancouver City Hall: The buck stops on the desk of Mayor Gregor The Flake Robertson, apostle of trafficsnarling bicycle lanes, chicken coops in every backyard, urban wheatfields on every lawn. Being city manager must be tough, but Penny Ballem hadn’t even read the report of the last unpleasantness, the 1994 Stanley Cup riot. Too busy counting chickens, maybe.

This Just In

Trevor Lautens Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu: The cops were ill-prepared to administer justice, crude though it is, at the only place in our flabby, slow justice system where it would immediately hurt — at the sharp edge of the gathering riot, at the front lines of the taunting creeps whose mocking images flashed the message of societal helplessness and the mob’s victory. Tear gas, water cannon, rubber bullets, firing the real thing into the air if need be, and protecting stores from the shameful smashing and looting, wouldn’t have

been too harsh. I’m inclined to absolve the dedicated Chu. He had to deal with The Flake. Fascinating to know what they discussed as the seventh game approached. Vancouver’s supposed global reputation: Oh dear, oh dear, mustn’t sully that! This fear, anxiously vented by worried politicians and especially business people, was held hostage by the mob. At the heart of it: Just as terrorists’ intent is to spread terror, the mob instigators’ intent is to spread violence — above all to provoke as much police violence as possible, switching ﬁckle public (and media) opinion from approval of police to “police riot” status, and exposing liberal democracy as a sham. When this strategy works, and it has, next day all the usual suspects — talk-show hosts, newspaper pundits, craven politicians anxious to join the above in blowing with the wind, and the likes of the civil liberties association — would deplore the cops’ over-reaction. Brings the revolution closer, man. Such schemers know

crowd manipulation. The media (and at this very moment I too am living off the avails of the riot; it’s what we do): Alex Strachan, a copy runner who shared lively debates with the undersigned decades ago and now the Vancouver Sun’s excellent television critic, wrote: “I wish someone had asked what responsibility the local media bore in the run-up to the chaos. For two months, they ratcheted emotions higher and higher until, in the end, something gave.” Dead right. In my own household I was barely able to read the Times Literary Supplement because of incessant hockey gabble, depriving myself of the pleasure of listening to Bill Good when — I barely exaggerate — even the Zamboni operator’s great-grandfather was grist for the CKNW mill. Yes, as someone who — no current sportswriter can say as much — clearly remembers Boston Bruins goalie Frank Brimsek (American-born, a rarity), “Mr. Zero” of 70-odd years ago, and exulted when the Winnipeg

Monarchs beat Toronto St. Michael’s for the Memorial Cup in 1946, I still watch the game a little. Guiltily. Nobody loves and deplores Don Cherry more. The sport itself: Professional hockey is brutal, aimed at innocentfaced maiming, glorifying of “enforcers,” exhilarated by ﬁghts like no other sport, and accepting permanent brain damage as just the price of the entertainment. It’s kin to the street thuggery of riot night and its predecessors (and future performances — Grey Cup here in less than six months). As the educated folk would say,

there’s a symbiosis between rink and riot. The rioters, of course: Louts, goons, morons, idiots, vandals, hooligans, anarchists, etc. Could there be another descriptive? Average. More accurately, part of a demographic (my Special Agent D22V, in a downtown bar riot night, estimated their age range at 17 to 25). McJobbed, often parent-poor, and violencesoaked in a trashy culture of semi-literate chatter, murderous images and shattering noise, they should be allowed at least a certain measure of victimhood. tlautens@telus.net

Mailbox Nurses don’t get enough praise Dear Editor: A few weeks ago I had to have a knee replacement. All seemed to go well, but on the third day my heart started acting up. In no time ﬂat I was whisked down to the trauma area. I must have had about eight people monitoring me. I have nothing but praise for the wonderful care the nurses gave me. I just want to say thanks and express my gratitude. I don’t believe they receive enough praise for the work they do each day. Nadine S. Krieg, North Vancouver

Riot could have political implications

THE huge public outpouring of rage in response to the Vancouver riot may shake things up in a number of areas — not the least of which is the political arena.

Two politicians in particular have been front and centre in response to the riot, and the popularity and credibility of each of them may be impacted in different ways. Premier Christy Clark was quick to correctly gauge the public mood when she warned the rioters they would be pursued and prosecuted. Sounding like a marshal from the Wild West, she sent her you-can-run-but-you-can’thide message in blunt, even threatening fashion. In any other situation, her aggressive insistence on laying charges and seeking jail sentences may have seemed a bit intrusive to the criminal justice system. It’s also fair to wonder whether her call on the public to help in the hunt of those responsible injected an element of vigilantism into the situation. But given the widespread revulsion towards the antics of the rioters (or, as they are now more commonly called, “losers” or “jerks” or “morons”), I don’t think anyone is going to go after the premier on this one. However, her demand that justice be swiftly handed out also served as a timely reminder of some of the problems that exist in the justice system, and how many of them can be laid at the feet of her government.

View from the Ledge Keith Baldrey

Just days before the riot, several serious criminal trials were delayed because judges said there weren’t enough sheriffs to guarantee safety in the courtrooms. The attorney general’s ministry has failed to fund more than 30 sheriff positions, even though the people who would get those jobs already have the necessary training. This gave NDP leader

Adrian Dix the perfect opening to demand restored funding for sheriffs. The contradiction between the premier demanding a whole bunch of new prosecutions at the same time her government is being accused of frustrating justice being carried out was readily apparent. The premier has now set the bar quite high. She has demanded prosecutions for charges that most likely will turn out to be a bunch of break-and-enters and mischief counts, but if funding problems allow a murder trial to go sideways she may ﬁnd that being a tough law-andorder premier demands some consistency. Throw in the fact that our jails are already overcrowded and understaffed, and the prospect of several hundred moronic rioters tying up the system even more over relatively minor charges, the

end result may not be as appealing as ﬁrst thought. The other politician with some potentially large amount of political capital at stake here is Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, who is perhaps in a more vulnerable position. While Robertson was also quick to correctly align himself with public opinion, the fact that his city’s police department is fending off criticism over how it handled the riot can blow back on the mayor. The premier has announced there will be an independent, external inquiry into the riot, and that will touch on such issues as police preparedness and response. If any evidence emerges that suggests

funding pressures for the police department in any way inﬂuenced the outcome of the riot, things could get very sticky for the mayor. The police have been criticized for not having enough ofﬁcers on hand the night of the riot, and for their benign response, which included not helping small businesses (and their staff) while their stores were being ransacked and looted. I’m not sure when the external inquiry wraps up its work, but keep in mind Robertson and his Vision Vancouver council colleagues face an election in November. They had all better hope nothing negative arises

from that inquiry, because if something bad does emerge, it may give the rival Non-Partisan Association, which has been on life support for several years, the kind of issue it has been searching for so desperately to allow it to get back on its feet. Look for the NPA to accuse the mayor and council of being more interested in bike lanes and backyard chickens instead of taking proper precautions before the riot. It may not be a fair criticism, but there’s a good chance it will resonate with some voters. You can’t make this stuff up!

Bigger not better for West Van recycling Drake Fenton dfenton@nsnews.com

A West Vancouver resident is confounded that North Shore Recycling is limiting the amount of recycling that can be picked up at the same time that Metro Vancouver is desperately trying to reduce what is tossed

into the garbage stream.

Rita Telford, a West Vancouver resident for the last 10 years, says she has been using the same blue box for the past ﬁve years. She purchased a larger than normal size box to accommodate her growing family, and her three children’s thirst for milk. But oversized blue boxes in West Vancouver have become an issue for North Shore Recycling, the company responsible for all residential

recycling on the North Shore. “It’s only in West Vancouver that it has become a problem,” said Colette Scott-Sibley, contract administrator for North Shore Recycling. “In West Vancouver a lot of people have them and unfortunately they weren’t told right away (that they can’t be used.)” North Shore Recycling has been issuing advisory warnings to West Vancouver residents using oversized boxes. After two warnings, recycling will

no longer be picked up until the resident contacts North Shore Recycling to remedy the reason for warning. Scott-Sibley said North

Shore Recycling would provide a regulation size box, free of charge, for any residents whose blue box fails to meet the 61litre dimensional criteria.

“The issue, I would think, is just a lack of awareness,” said Scott-Sibley. See Excess page 10

WEST Vancouver resident Rita Telford’s blue box, at right, has been ticketed for being too big.

INQUIRING REPORTER FOLLOWING two weeks of rotating strikes Canada Post locked out its employees Wednesday, June15.TheConservative government introduced a bill Thursday that will force Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers to come to terms. The government’s back-to-work legislation will halt both sides from concluding negotiations, and mail that has been trapped in the system will be released and sent on its way to mailboxes across the country. Find us on Facebook and tell us what you think or add your comment to Inquiring Reporter at www.nsnews.com — Drake Fenton

Wendy Vestergaard North Vancouver No it hasn’t. My only concern is that I know that they want a pension, and I don’t know if the government has that kind of money to give them.

Susan Chan North Vancouver For me it’s not a big deal because I do everything online, but my parents are older people and they write letters so it has inconvenienced them.

Did the postal strike inconvenience you?

Richard Eschelmuller North Vancouver Yes. We have to pay some of our bills online, rather than receive the bills in the mail. So now we have to go look to pay our bills. It doesn’t make sense to me to have to do that.

Linda Kilbey North Vancouver It has. When you need to get a (postal) stamp you go down there to buy one and the door is locked.

Bob Strachan North Vancouver No, not whatsoever. Well I have a telephone and with the odd little bill I go down to the bank and pay it.

Excess recycling should be delivered to depot

From page 9

Telford believes that the issue regarding having too big of a recycling box is absurd. “I ﬁnd this completely ridiculous. I am paying for recycling, I want our municipality to recycle as much as they can,” she said. When Telford contacted North Shore Recycling she was informed that continuous use of oversized boxes could lead to an overloading of the system. “I phoned them and told them I have been using the same blue box for ﬁve years, and I’ve never had a (warning) sticker once,” said Telford. “They told me, ‘If everybody had a big box like that, it would overload our system.’” The situation has left Telford angry. She contends that if people are forced to only put a portion of their recycling out, then they

will begin to just throw their recyclables into the garbage. She believes the policy acts as a barrier to moving towards a zerowaste community. Scott-Sibley says this is not the case, as North Shore Recycling will collect all excess recyclables at its recycling depot, at 29 Riverside Drive, North Vancouver. “The North Shore Recycling Program comprises of the curbside service as well as a depot,” said Scott-Sibley. “The depot is for people who have an extra amount than something they would put at the curb.” Scott-Sibley said that oversized blue boxes might lead to an “overloading of the system” because the system has been created on precise calculations. “The system is meant for a regularly weekly amount to be taken out and put at the curb,” she said. “Drivers know how

much they are picking up, and the routes are designed to pick up a certain amount, and you’re ﬁnding with more oversized boxes one week, there will be ten tonnes worth of stuff, and the next week there will be two tonnes worth of stuff because not everybody put their stuff out.” “When people started using those oversized blue boxes it was maybe one on a route, maybe two,” said Scott-Sibley. Now that the problem is growing, North Shore Recycling drivers have been asked to enforce the oversized box rule, but Scott-Sibley says they have been reluctant. “Drivers have been reluctant because they don’t want the residents too annoyed with them; they want to provide good service.” West Vancouver residents will have to store their oversized blue boxes in the garage, or better yet, recycle them.

These ladies bring sweet sizzle and sass to West Vancouver in the harmonious style of the Andrews Sisters and other jazz favourites.

Everyone’s dressed in matching white outﬁts with red vests and Argue’s cradling a portable keyboard. “I was mainly playing piano, that was there for the photo shoot,” he laughs. “It was a really great music program.

Argue went east to study at McGill

jumble of confused adolescent angst and all the rest of that.” Argue went to North Vancouver’s Cleveland elementary school before moving on to Handsworth in Grade 8. Although he’d begun piano lessons at a young age it was strictly because his famly lived in the catchment area that he ended up in Rebagliati’s band. “I don’t think high school band directors have a lot of experience with jazz and a lot of them don’t have any experience at all with the rhythm section,” says Argue. “Bob was a drummer and jazz really lives or dies by the rhythm section. He was able to instill that in the band from an early age and work with the rhythm section and build the bands up from there, which was sort of why the group’s always had the success they did at the local jazz festivals and whatnot.” Argue can pinpoint the exact moment he discovered big band jazz in Rebagliati’s music class. “In my first year we were playing this simplified version of a piece called “Us” by the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra. He brought in the original recording, which he had on vinyl, and when he played that a kind of light went off which was, ‘Oh that’s what it’s supposed to sound like.’ I went down to A&B Sound and picked up a Thad Jones/Mel Lewis cassette to put in my Walkman and that was the beginning of my investigating big band music. “I was maybe 13, 14 and I completely fell in love with Thad’s writing and as a composer he’s probably one of my biggest influences to this day. Stuff that you discover when you’re young often is the music that sticks with you your entire life and really shapes your interests. I had no idea it would lead me down this path of folly where I would start my own big band.” After graduating from Handsworth, Argue went on to study at McGill University and the New England Conservatory of Music. At McGill in Montreal he got his first taste of the jazz life as a musician and in Boston he obtained a masters in jazz composition studying with Bob Brookmeyer. “I heard his music at a fairly young age on those Thad Jones tapes because he was a member of that band,” says Argue. “And I saw him lead a band at a jazz conference back in 1994. That was the first time I had seen him live and then I started corresponding with him when I still lived in Montreal.” Brookmeyer invited the young musician to study with him at the conservatory in Boston. “At the time I didn’t have any intention of pursuing a masters degree but that’s not an invitation you turn down,” says Argue. “Bob was born in 1929 in Kansas City. He heard the original lineup of the Count Basie Band when he was 11 years old. He’s been a part of and seen almost the entire evolution of jazz in the 20th century. He’s someone who has been at

That was obviously a very inspirational time to have that opportunity to study with one of my lifelong heroes.” Argue commuted back and forth between Boston and New York for a year before he decided to move permanently to the Big Apple. “They had these very cheap Chinatown to Chinatown buses that you could take at the time for like 10 bucks. I would go into New York and there was this jazz composition workshop I was doing there called the BMI Jazz Composer’s Workshop. I was meeting a lot of other like-minded young composers and musicians who were interested in that music and I guess I was trying to ﬁgure out whether I should actually follow through on this crazy dream to move to New York and start a big band. “I was in touch with a lot of other enablers, other people who had done the same thing, and it seemed to have worked out OK for them.

MUSIC was never the main focus for Rupa Marya, a doctor by day in San Francisco who by night plays a feisty brand of gypsy jazz that melds cultures and styles.

But that’s beginning to change. Speaking to the North Shore News on the ﬁrst day of her sabbatical, Marya is taking a break from the hospital to pursue her other passion. “I can’t write those months I’m at the hospital, I just can’t do it,” she says. “Now I don’t have to worry that anyone’s going to die if I close my door and just really inwardly focus.” But music has always been a part of her life. The child of Indian immigrants to the U.S., she listened to her mother practise to become a classical concert pianist while her father spun Johnny Cash records, and her life experience adds further ﬂavours to her musical soup. Marya has lived in California, France and India and writes in three languages, creating a rich tapestry that is sometimes tough to knit together. photo Judith Burrows “The challenge to be able to write music that pulls from DR.

LOOK mattie à la mode

Summer hemlines rise from maxi to mini DEAR Mattie:

Are dresses maxi or mini this summer? Curious in Deep Cove Dear Deep Cove: Dresses are everything and everywhere this summer. There is a dress for every occasion that you can think of — yes, even shopping for groceries. Dresses have become very popular this season because they are fun and easy to wear. There are many dresses to choose from. Maxi or mini, solid to wild, this summer’s dresses are all about wearing the right dress at the right time. You may even consider buying more than one.

The first thing you must consider is the silhouette of the dress. This shouldn’t be too hard as many styles are in fashion. Lighter fabrics should have an airy flow and stiffer fabrics should be tailored, but not fitted. Dresses are forgiving and flattering. Dresses are long to the ankle, medium to above and below the knee, and mini to the thigh. This choice is your personal preference. Most dresses will have a narrow waistline higher than your belly button. This higher waistline allows for your body to look longer and slimmer. There is a voluminous shape to summer dresses. Regardless of the fabric and print, the bottom half of the dress will appear rounded like an upside down letter U. Many dresses

will incorporate pleats and ruching to enhance this silhouette. Prints are big and tiny, wide and thin this season. Although the minimalist look is still in fashion, dresses are bold with personality. Consider a simple classic style in an outrageous print. The floral print is everywhere, from hundreds of hard-to-see tiny flowers to one big flower. Floral prints can create a soft or loud impression. Colour-blocked dresses look best with a heavier fabric. The colour-block look is the opposite of a floral, flowing look. Colour block can be one to three colours, maybe four. Stripes fall into the category of colour blocking. Try to keep

the amount of colours under control, as this is a streamlined, modern look. I have already mentioned how fabric is important to how the dress falls. Lightweight cotton, chiffon and silks allow the dress to ﬂow. Linen and heavier cotton blends, with Lycra are great for the tailored and colour-block looks. There are also some new fabrics making a comeback. White lace and eyelets have become See White page 21

very popular. They look delicate, but are a substantial fabric. They are pretty and bohemian with a touch of class. Embroidery with ruffles and rosettes give a simple look some sophistication. There is definitely a trend of how ladies are wearing their dresses in relation to the time of day. The all-white look is very modern and trendy and can be dressed down for day and up for evening. A muted colour palette is popular during the day. After dark looks, include hot pinks, yellow, teal and orange. The colour of the dress creates a vibe. Wearing a dress this season is about personal expression. Grab a pair of wedged espadrilles or flat sandals and go have yourself a dance. There is something musical about wearing a dress.

THE woman’s story was captivating.

While attending a wedding reception in 2004, Marilyn Norry, an actor, writer and story editor currently based in New Westminster, was listening to a friend tell a story. “She said, ‘To know this, you have to know my mother’s story,’ and told me her mother’s story in about ﬁve minutes,” says Norry. It was an unbelievable tale and it prompted Norry to wonder if she could tell her own mother’s story in the same amount of time; as well, if it would have the same charm, as her mother lived a less adventurous life than that of her friend’s. “I gave it a whirl and my friend thought it

was fascinating because, well, it was so unlike her story,” she says. “I was just thinking about, certainly, we take our mothers for granted but I think everybody assumes in some way that their mother is either the same as every other mother or so totally unique that you can’t talk about her.” Ever since, Norry has continued to encourage women to follow suit, launching the Mothership Stories Society, which over the years has presented writing workshops, as well as works of theatre, weaving the stories together in a format she refers to as “collage.” Now, the society has partnered with Presentation House Theatre for My Mother’s Story: North Vancouver. City and district residents are encouraged to submit their mother’s stories in 2,000 words or less. In March 2012, the theatre will present nine of the stories, woven into a work performed by female actors. To learn more, attend a free staged reading and presentation Saturday, June 25 at Presentation House. For more information, visit www. mymothersstory.org.

Get To Know Me How do you spend your free time? Family night is a popular event at our house. Popcorn and movie night with my boys, daughter and husband Michael. I love to play soccer with them and go skiing and to keep my energy level high I go to the gym and I walk the Seawall quite a bit.

What’s your favourite piece of technology? I’m a huge iPad user. I love my iPad. It’s more for pleasure, and I also have a BlackBerry for business. I never leave my BlackBerry behind — I always want my clients to be able to reach me.

Are you involved with any community groups? I’ve been involved with the West Vancouver Chamber of Commerce since 1994, president for three years and on the board of directors since 2005. I volunteer for West Vancouver Soccer Club and I manage a soccer team for my children. I’m involved with fundraising for their school’s PAC and I was also a director for the Coho Society.

Haleh (Holly) Alexander

RBC PRIVATE BANKING

Benjamin Alldritt • balldritt@nsnews.com

anking and finance may be trending towards online realtionships, but there’s still a lot to be said for sitting down with a real human being. “Euromoney Magazine rates RBC Private Banking as the number 1 private bank in Canada. We have more than 20 private banking teams in B.C. and now we have a private banker in West Vancouver!” says Haleh (Holly) Alexander, a private banker for RBC Wealth Management. “My office is on Bellevue and 15th. Not every client wants to cross the bridge and go downtown to deal with their banker. They want someone local and we see that as a huge success. They are relieved they can go to Crema, get their coffee, and come upstairs to see me. It’s a big differentiator. After the initial meetings, they’ll deal with me over the phone, fax or email, a unique service making it easy to do business.” Alexander’s practice is geared towards clients with a high net worth, people who need more than an everyday bank generally offers. Businesspeople and professionals of all kinds look to Alexander and her team to manage all aspects of their finances. “We have exclusive services for these clients, and what that entails is everything to do with their day-to-day banking: credit cards, loans and mortgages. We also provide valueadded advice pieces; for instance, estate planning, financial planning, tax planning, insurance planning and business succession planning. When my clients work with me, they’re not just getting a banker, they’re getting resources and advice on many aspects that touch their life.” RBC employs chartered accountants and lawyers, dedicated to working with Holly’s team of clients on their planning. “Everyone needs advice,” Alexander continues. “The reason the advice I give can be tailored to high-net-worth

clients is that we have resources that have been created specially for them. They have complex transactions and complex needs. Their estate planning is not cookie-cutter and simple. We have to look at different strategies and apply them to tax and liability planning. High-net-worth people are also often very busy and need someone they can trust to look after their banking.” To maintain that high level of service and attention, Alexander focuses on a small book of no more than 150 clients. Many of her clients have already dealt with her for years, throughout her long experience in banking on the North Shore. After graduating from university, Alexander pursued a lifelong interest in finance and was trained in bank management with Toronto Dominion. RBC came calling in 1998, and Alexander managed four different branches on the North Shore. “Leadership was my focus, not just finance. I was developing a team and enjoyed helping clients. I took my Canadian Securities Course early in my career and I decided this was what I wanted to stay in,” she says. Alexander earned her Financial Planning Designation as well as her Masters Degree in Business Administration to complete her education to provide holistic financial advice. How do you build a book of private banking clients? “Referrals,” Alexander says, without hesitation. “People that have known me through the years I worked as a bank manager. Also, many of my colleagues who know the service we offer see it as a value to their clients and refer them to me. They say ‘You know what? This person needs your private banking services.’ There’s trust and confidence when making a referral.”

Dr. Shehla Ebrahim

AMBLESIDE DERMEDICS HEALTH CENTRE Jeremy Shepherd • jshepherd@nsnews.com

r. Shehla Ebrahim does not appear to have an off switch. The physician runs a family practice, offers esthetic treatments at Afterglow, and now envisions bringing them both together. Ebrahim is planning to open Ambleside Dermedics Health Centre later this summer, just around the time she’s hoping to earn a diploma in dermatology from Cardiff University in Wales. “I’ll wake up at 5 a.m., I study, and then I go to work and I come home and I study until 1 a.m. and this has been going on for the last several months,” she says. Despite the long hours, Ebrahim’s mood is light and her humour is quick when discussing her grueling schedule. “It’s just been hell, but it’s been also wonderful at the same time,” she says. Ebrahim’s vision is a boutique-style centre where patients can receive medical care or ﬁnd the latest beauty tips and treatments. “I am now offering Ultherapy, a new treatment that uses ultrasound for non-surgical brow-lifts, and non-surgical jaw and neck lifts,” Ebrahim says. “It’s a quantum leap from the other (skin) tightening procedures and I’m the only one on the North Shore to offer this.” The technology uses Ultrasound imaging to deliver energy to speciﬁc layers of tissue, which helps to tighten and lift the patient’s skin, according to Ebrahim. After having just passed her dermatology exam, she’ll be able to do some of her favourite work: “Checking lumps, bumps, moles, surveying for skin cancer, (treating) scarring, acne, acne scars, and rosacea, which is so prevalent in North America,” she says. She added that all those treatments are covered by MSP if the patient is referred by a physician.

Ambleside Dermedics Health Centre While the diploma won’t make Ebrahim a dermatologist yet, it would put her a little closer to a lifelong desire. “If I ever had a chance to get reincarnated, I would become a dermatologist,” she says. “It’s been a dream, a passion for years.” But as much as she enjoys discussing dermatology, her health centre will also treat problems frequently marked by silence. “Currently there’s a two-year wait-list for women who have incontinence issues like stress incontinence and urinary incontinence,” she says. “Women don’t talk about it . . . but it exists and it’s very embarrassing for women because they have no place to go.” The centre will offer a host of non-surgical, non-invasive treatments, with an emphasis on natural therapies. Among the treatments used is biofeedback, a system allowing patients to view body mechanisms such as brainwaves or heart rate with the goal of being able to better control their own stress. Ebrahim says the wellness and beauty centre was initially supposed to be a joint venture, but when her potential partner was unable to continue, she was faced with a difﬁcult choice. “One option will be just to get out of the lease and pay the penalty and the second option would be just to take a leap of faith and do it on my own.” For the last 18 months, Ebrahim has been striving to turn that leap of faith into a soft landing. “There’s no point sitting and contemplating about it for years and years and years. I feel I’m young, I’m 50 years old, I have a lot of energy and I need to give back to the community.” Having lived on the North Shore since 1989, Ebrahim says she wouldn’t want to open the centre anywhere else. “Pakistan is homeland, but this is home.”

Peter Leitch

NORTH SHORE STUDIOS

Benjamin Alldritt • balldritt@nsnews.com

t’s no secret that many of the top Hollywood movies and successful network TV shows are actually made in the Lower Mainland. But what isn’t quite as widely known is that shows like Pysch and films like Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief support literally thousands of jobs on the North Shore. “We’ve got a great workforce here,” says Peter Leitch, president of North Shore Studios. “We’ve got very talented and creative crews and cast. We have fantastic infrastructure not only in our studio space but also world-class postproduction companies. The top visual effects companies in the world are all located here. All the trucks you see here are owned by small businesspeople here. All the catering trucks and the lighting and cameras, wardrobe and generators are all local small businesses. “It’s been fantastic. We’ve had companies locating here like Sharpe Sound and Clairmont Camera and we’ve got a lot of talent on the North Shore that we draw for. There must be 5,000 people who work in the film industry on the North Shore. That’s a real asset to us.” The benefits don’t stop there, says Leitch. If you own a business on the North Shore, chances are you’ve seen some of those Hollywood dollars. “We use all sorts of services here, from hotels to taxicabs to Starbucks to clothing stores, lumber yards, florists, restaurants. Any service you can think of, we spend money on,” says Leitch. The longtime Delbrook resident got his start in film and television in 1987, before it grew into one of the province’s — and the country’s — economic engines. “We were doing television shows like 21 Jump Street and

Wiseguy,” Leitch recalls. “I got to pay Johnny Depp his per diem. Cannell Films was a great company to work for, and an industry-building one.” Cannell built the studio facility in 1989, and the business went through several phases of ownership in the years that followed, attracting the interest of top Canadian business owners like Frank Guistra and Nat Bosa. Leitch worked as the company’s comptroller before taking the top job in 1995. “Since I’ve been involved as the president, my job is to market the facility. I’m also the chair of the Motion Picture Production Industry Association, so I work closely with government at all levels on tax policy and other issues in terms of keeping British Columbia as film-friendly as we can and making sure we are competitive,” he says. “We pride ourselves on the service we provide. We have a very limited number of customers in the film industry. We’re very similar to a hotel; we need these people to come back all the time. Repeat business is so important for us. Friendly customer service is kind of a cliché, but we take it seriously here.” In the high-stakes business of feature film production, there are many factors that influence where the work lands, from big-picture challenges like currency exchange rates and tax policy to something as mundane as getting a permit to use a public park. Leitch praised North Vancouver’s local government for streamlining their processes for film companies and keeping their fees at a cost-recovery level. “Both municipalities are great filming locations and are very film-friendly,” he says. “They embrace the business and understand its benefits. That’s a huge factor in enabling us to do the work that we do. It’s a real cooperation and a can-do attitude.”

words of wisdom It all starts with mutual respect among coworkers. That’s the key thing.

Dr. Amin Damji

ARTIS DENTAL CENTRE

Jeremy Shepherd • jshepherd@nsnews.com

HE metallic buzz of a dentist’s drill can conjure childhood fears more sinister than the creak from the closet or the pile of laundry on the other side of the dark bedroom. But for Dr. Amin Damji, a dentist who’s been plying his trade for nearly 20 years, the dentist’s drill is frequently just a prelude to the snores of a patient. “We have patients who during a root canal treatment literally fall sleep during the procedure,” he says, discussing ARTIS Dental Centre, which opened on the North Shore last year. “We took the anxiety out by educating our patients,” he says, adding that he took the nitrous out of the office when he bought his first practice in 1993. Instead of nitrous oxide, Damji surrounds his patients with soothing world music, hot towels, blankets and overhead plasma television screens. Damji went to the University of British Columbia and took science courses with the thought of pursuing a career in optometry or medicine. But while medical doctors help patients over the long-term, Damji says he was drawn by the immediacy of dentistry. “What appealed to me was the ability to alleviate pain, because what I saw were patients (arriving) in discomfort,” he says. After joining the pre-dental society at UBC, Damji was able to observe dentists and he realized how much he could enjoy the profession. “What I really liked was the human interaction between patient and doctor,” he says. Damji graduated with a doctor of dental medicine degree along with a master’s degree in oral biology before he started practicing in 1992. He didn’t forget the importance of observing a professional in the field, and now with two thriving practices, he said he routinely welcomes students to watch him work. “That’s the opportunity I had when I was in university,” he says. “I’m more interested personally in helping mentor high

school students who are thinking about dentistry,” he explains. “I do have a lot that come through the office and actually come in for a day or two and hang with me.” Starting out as an associate dentist in Coquitlam and Surrey, he set up shop in New Westminster in 1993. “My passion was to build a practice and to develop systems within that practice to run it efficiently . . . I wanted the patients to experience the extraordinary,” he says. After eighteen years of extraordinary service in New Westminster, he opened his second clinic at 845 Marine Drive in North Vancouver. Damji speaks excitedly about his new venture, referring to it as his “baby.” With approximately 1600 square feet of space and 19-foot ceilings, the new office is a centre of clinical excellence and a shining monument showcasing extraordinary design. “We want every patient visit to be an experience,” he says. “We’re a boutique-style clinic that aims to provide exceptional service and care.” Patients can now look forward to the same kind of red carpet treatment on the North Shore as they have grown accustomed to at the New Westminster location. Loaded with all the cutting-edge technology dentistry has to offer, his new clinic offers a full array of services, including: complete smile makeovers, full mouth reconstruction, dental implants, Botox, Invisalign, teeth whitening and laser dentistry. For patient comfort, Damji even special ordered a special human-robotic massage chair from Japan. It’s the most technologically-advanced massage chair ever produced. His office is also prepared for those dental disasters that can spring up without warning. “If you have an emergency, our motto is simply come on down” he says. “We will be sure to take care of you.” He says it all adds up to providing the best service he can. “It’s for the community on the North Shore to have an offering of a newer practice that’s modern, that’s cutting edge, that’s state-of-the-art.”

words of wisdom At ARTIS we have a motto: “experience the extraordinary”... in both clinical care and service, it’s what we hope each of our patients will experience! reach me at telephone 604 986 0800 email nvinfo@artisdentalcentre.com internet www.artisdentalcentre.com

Dr. Kris Bulcroft

CAPILANO UNIVERSITY

Benjamin Alldritt • balldritt@nsnews.com

t’s been less than a year since Dr. Kris Bulcroft got the nod as Capilano University’s sixth president and, with that, the opportunity to lead the university through an exciting time of growth and transition. “Capilano far exceeds even my expectations,” Bulcroft says. “It’s a very unique institution. I’ve worked around the world at many different kinds of universities where they claim to be very, very learner-centred, but this place really is. The ethos here is about really supporting students and helping them to be successful—and we get students at all different levels. It’s a reality at Cap that I’ve never seen at any other institution.” Before accepting the job in North Vancouver, Bulcroft spent the bulk of her academic career at Western Washington University as a professor of sociology. She is also a multiple award-winning research scientist who has worked across Europe and North America. “I have a good publication record,” she says, modestly. “And I’ve worked at what you would call research institutions. I loved my research, but at my core I’m a teacher. So I’ve always gravitated towards institutions that really cared particularly about undergraduates. That very first year of your college or university experience is critical in forming your identity as a learner and what you can achieve in your future. I’m always happiest when I’m working with brand new students and it’s their first time in a university setting. They may be first generation students, or students who have had some barriers or obstacles coming in. These students are the ones I get the most pleasure working with. “We have very small class sizes here. It makes a tremendous difference when professors know their students and they can monitor their progress and form close mentoring relationships,” she adds. “There’s a much different level of engagement in the learning that students have here, a lot more emphasis on teamwork, critical thinking, and communication.” Bulcroft has spent much of her first year at Cap touring the university’s three campuses and meeting the students, staff, faculty and board members. But while familiarizing herself with the people and culture of the institution, Bulcroft has also been enjoying taking Capilano University out into the community. “I’ve been doing a fair amount of public speaking engagements,” she explains. “They’ve included a wide gambit of things—sometimes they’ve been about Capilano, sometimes about my own research. I just did one about the question of quality and the meaning of ranking universities. So I’m out there; I’m available. If a civic group wants to me to come and talk, I’m very happy to do that. It’s a way of letting people know what’s up here at Cap and also expressing the fact that a university president is accessible and part of the community.” And a lot is up at Cap these days. The university is now offering 10 degree programs, as well as a variety of diplomas and certificates for both new students and those looking to upgrade their skills. Perhaps the most visible new development

is the Nat and Flora Bosa Centre for Film and Animation—a state-of-the-art facility that will, when complete in the fall, provide students with the skills needed to work in one of B.C.’s most dynamic industries. The Bosa Centre will also consolidate the North Shore as a film and television hub, home to world-class training from the high school level up to industry leaders, such as North Shore Studios. “Another thing I see a lot of is the expansion of our international curriculum,” says Bulcroft. “We’re sending more students abroad than ever before and our numbers are steady in terms of the international students coming to us. We’re finding more and more ways to use those international experiences to enrich our three campuses.” Capilano currently hosts more than 700 students from approximately 50 countries, and Canadian students from Capilano are studying and training as far away as Vietnam and Peru. Bulcroft says there may be more ways to promote that kind of international experience for students. “One of the things we’ve been talking about is the potential to work with the school districts around a gap year for students. I’ve looked at the demographics and more and more students are choosing to take a year off before going to university. A lot of those students do a fair amount of travel, international and domestic, so we’ve had some thoughts here at Cap about working with the high schools on the North Shore to create some structured programs that are gap year programs, maybe as feeders for Cap or other institutions. We would start small, maybe a six-week summer program where a student does a placement in Europe or South America and perhaps there would be some service learning involved. It wouldn’t be heavy academic, but an opportunity to learn about another culture and pick up a few credits.” As the parent of a recent grad, Bulcroft says seeing a little bit of the world first can go a long way when it’s time to get back to the classroom. “I think parents worry about their children not having parameters when they go off into their gap year. But I believe it’s a good thing for students. When you step back from the structure of high school, you learn a lot about yourself and you may choose to go into a field of study you may never have thought about. People with this life experience often come to us making better choices about what to study and what to explore.” Bulcroft is no stranger to living and working overseas herself, and her cosmopolitan experience is helping Capilano emerge as a leading teaching school. “We now have a teaching and learning centre, which I think will be a real catalyst for the instructors here at Cap to find ways to talk about teaching and learning and also to perhaps connect with other campus communities. I follow the trends in post-secondary education and increasingly those institutions that have been more research-focused are starting to understand that they also have to perform in terms of classrooms. I really do think there’s a paradigm shift afoot.”

James Belsheim NEPTUNE BULK TERMINALS

Benjamin Alldritt • balldritt@nsnews.com

he export of raw commodities is the beating heart of Canada’s economy, and a vital part of that export flow is right here in North Vancouver. “We’re one of North America’s largest multiproduct bulk terminals,” says Jim Belsheim, president of Neptune Terminals. “What we do is take bulk products and load them on deep-sea vessels for shipment to export customers. We primarily handle two products; one is potash, which is mined in Saskatchewan. It’s a natural fertilizer and it’s fundamental to world food production. Our other major product is steel-making coal. We ship it to steel mills worldwide where it’s used in the manufacture of steel that supports the development of infrastructure all around the world. So we’re proud of our products. They are important to the world, and economically, they are very important to the economy of Canada. As the terminal, we are a link that connects those two together.” Neptune has been part of North Vancouver’s waterfront industry for more than 40 years, but these past five have seen a dramatic increase in the terminal’s business, driven by surging demand for Canadian products in Asian markets. Spending roughly $150 million on various upgrades and expansions, Neptune aims to double the volume of goods they can load by the end of next year. “One of the key points that we are excited about is that all of our improvements are within our same footprint,” says Belsheim. “The expansion allows us to handle more volume because the trains get longer, not because we have more trains. We go faster and more efficiently. It’s a great expansion for us and it’s beneficial for the community. We won’t actually look much different from the outside.” Being a major player in the global economy doesn’t mean Neptune overlooks the community it operates in. The terminal creates 400 high-paying jobs and buys locally whenever

possible. Belsheim has a long list of community projects Neptune has supported. “One example is youth sports. We’re pretty keen on that. I’m talking 10 year olds and under. I think that’s where social benefits are huge in our community. We also support North Shore Neighbourhood House; we have a seniors program; we have a relationship with Capilano University that we’re pretty enthusiastic about. We think Cap U is a great add to the community, and business needs to be involved and supportive of it. Another example is our support of the gala the North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce is putting on in support of Presentation House. The North Shore is a great place to work, a great place to live, and a great place to play. We’re obviously part of the first, but it’s important we’re connected to the other two. We’re proud of our role. We’re a major taxpayer in the city. We’re happy with that. We believe the businesses here work pretty well together. The community plan is solid, and the envy of many other communities.” Belsheim spent the bulk of his career in the forestry industry before taking the top job at Neptune. “It was very good to me. I had the opportunity to do a lot of different and diverse functions. I had executive positions in a wide range of activities, from operations, marketing, management, to human resources to finance. Those 30-odd years were the foundation of my career and five years ago, I decided to make a career change and come to the waterfront. I’ve been very happy ever since. It’s a dynamic business, important to Canada and important to the North Shore. “The nature of our products is long-term,” says Belsheim. “We’ll be in business on the North Shore for a long time, so having partnerships and linkages with the community is important to us. If anything resonates with Neptune and how we want to do business, it’s that we want to be proud of our role on the North Shore and we want people to be proud of us being here.”

Lonsdale Flooring

DIETER, TANYA AND KEVIN KUPFERSCHMID Benjamin Alldritt • balldritt@nsnews.com

or three generations and more than half a century, Lonsdale Flooring has been building a reputation for customer satisfaction on the North Shore, one house at a time. “Most of our business is word of mouth, a lot of referrals and repeat business,” says Tanya Kupferschmid. “It’s definitely driven by customer service. If there are any issues, we take care of it. That’s a big deal, especially now when there are all these TV shows that scare people into thinking all contractors are bad. It’s taking care of the customer and having them feel satisfied when we’re done and they in turn refer us to their friends.” The business was first opened in 1960 by Karl Urhle. He eventually sold the store to employee and nephew Dieter Kupferschmid and his wife Linda, who now runs it alongside their son Kevin and Kevin’s wife Tanya. Between them, they bring decades of combined experience to work each day. “It’s always been family-owned, right from the start,” she says. “And it’s a family dynamic. We work well together and when Dieter and Linda retire Kevin and I are going to buy the store from them. We genuinely enjoy working here and we want to continue.” As part of Lonsdale’s six-person non-commissioned sales team, Tanya sees her role as more of a teacher than a salesperson. “That’s very enjoyable for me. I find most people who

come in are overwhelmed because they have never bought flooring before. They just don’t know how to start and that’s where we come in and try to make it easier for them. We try to take the approach of teaching people and helping them find the flooring choices they need rather than trying to sell them something they don’t need. We feel out what kind of room they’re doing, what kind of use it will get, if they have animals or kids, what kind of durability they need. Then you get more into the technical side.” Lonsdale Flooring offers pretty much anything you can walk on: carpet, laminate, hardwood, vinyl, tile, cork, and so on. “My favourite new launch is the Mohawk SmartStrand carpet,” says Kupferschmid. “It’s a stainproof carpet that I have in my own home and I love it. It’s extremely durable, too. It’s also made of 40 per cent corn oil so it’s got an ecoside to it. It looks great and feels great.” The bulk of Lonsdale’s customers are individual homeowners, although they do some work for contractors and building managers. Kupferschmid estimates that 80 per cent of their job sites are on the North Shore. “I find that people who live on the North Shore generally want to shop on the North Shore. There’s competition over here, for sure, but it’s not like a pressure cooker. We have a relaxed feel when a customer walks through the door,” she says.

Anne McMullin

NORTH VANCOUVER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Benjamin Alldritt • balldritt@nsnews.com

iven that she grew up in Caulfeild and now calls Pemberton Heights home, it’s no surprise Anne McMullin leapt at the chance to lead the North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce. “It was a great opportunity to come here and work in my community, for my community,” says McMullin, whose parents and siblings also live on the North Shore. “I feel very fortunate and very privileged. This is, honestly, the best place to live, work and do business.” Originally a broadcast journalist by training, McMullin managed communication departments for resource companies, industry groups, and Port Metro Vancouver before taking the helm of the North Vancouver chamber in October of 2009. “We have a vibrant and whole community,” she says. “We have big business, we have small business, we have parks and a thriving environment. It’s a wonderful place to live. We’re not a bedroom community — we have an economic core. We have a university. We have some of the largest port businesses in North America. Major volumes of steel-making coal, potash, grain, and sulphur go through North Vancouver. We have manufacturing, a vibrant retail sector, ICBC, incredible tourism.” Although tax levels and land prices are perennial challenges for business, McMullin praised both city and district councils for working hard on behalf of business. McMullin is a familiar face in the halls of local government, frequently appearing to advocate on behalf of the chamber’s 700-business-strong membership. “Our job as the chamber is to say whether something is good for business and the community, not just ‘This is good for business, let’s go ahead with it.’ We take a very thorough view,” she says. “We are there to represent business, to advocate on behalf of business and work with all stakeholders and levels of government to create a vibrant community.” As well as lobbying city and district government, the North

Vancouver chamber — one of the oldest in the country — is active in both the B.C. and Canadian chambers, which develop policy recommendations for the provincial and federal governments, suggestions that McMullin says are taken very seriously. “We also stay up to date on issues of interest at city council and at the Metro Vancouver level, things like the official community plan, transportation, sewage treatment, really anything that could have an impact on business. We help business by keeping them up to date on key issues through our newsletter, Twitter, Facebook and our website.” The chamber also provides its members with many tangible benefits and services, the most popular of which is a costeffective extended health plan. “It’s very difficult for small business to have extended health care, but through the chamber network you can sign on to a very good plan,” McMullin says. “A lot of members sign up just for that. It’s worth a lot to the company and its employees.” Some of the more visible activities of the chamber are its monthly breakfast and Business After Five meetings, gatherings that give North Vancouver businesspeople chances to rub shoulder with each other, and with key players on the local and provincial stage. “From my own experience in business, I know the power of networking. That’s what the chamber provides: people working together, relationship building, creating partnerships and growing your business through meeting potential new customers. That’s very powerful. The more people you know, the more opportunity you have to grow. Or if you’re looking to change your line of work, there’s a lot of opportunity. We bring in key speakers like the chief economist from TD bank. We’ve had the CEO of Port Metro Vancouver speak, the president of Capilano University, and so on. So it’s not just peer networking. We’re giving people the chance to learn and see what other organizations are doing.”

Dr. Ralph Bieg

PHYSICIAN SKIN CARE

Benjamin Alldritt • balldritt@nsnews.com

r. Ralph Bieg has always been interested in people. “My undergraduate degree was in Physiology with honours,” he says. “But the more I learned about humans the more interesting I found them. So it was pretty obvious that I should probably pursue medicine.” Bieg worked as an emergency physician and family physician before opening an extended hours family practice and walk-in clinic at the Lonsdale and 19th Medical Clinic in 1992. “Our intention was to allow patients to access a physician seven days a week including evenings. Not only are we family physicians, but we also accommodate ‘walk-in’ patients. Our patients are comforted in knowing that their previous visits have been recorded and are accessible to the attending physician at any time.” About 10 years ago, Bieg shifted his emphasis towards cosmetic services followed by the opening of Physician Skincare Centre at 122 East 3rd Street. In February 2011, Bieg opened a second physician-directed medical spa. Pender Medi Spa is located at 1366 West Pender Street in Coal Harbour. At both locations Bieg offers non-surgical cosmetic enhancement treatments. These include such treatments as Botox, dermal ﬁllers, fat dissolving treatments, laser hair removal, skin tightening and laser resurfacing for deep wrinkles or scars. Electrolysis, facials, and registered massage therapy services are also offered.

As we age our face tends to deflate and descend giving us a tired appearance. Bieg offers non-surgical facelifts with the use of Botox, dermal fillers, and lasers specifically engineered to reverse these changes. “A lot of people don’t want surgery,” Bieg says. “They say I don’t look the way I feel, and I don’t want surgery. I don’t want to take a month off from work to recover. I don’t want to look different, just better, and more refreshed.” It’s not unusual for Bieg’s patients, men and women, to tell him that their treatment was one of the best things they ever did for themselves. They express that they feel more confident in their work environment and socially due to their enhanced appearance. Bieg has years of experience in cosmetic medicine. He is a member of the Allergan Advisory Board and a recognized trainer in the appropriate injections of Botox and dermal fillers. “I train doctors from all over North America,” the Upper Lonsdale resident says, “but sometimes I’m actually training my future competitors. Some may think that’s crazy but I’d sooner they learn to inject properly and appropriately than take a one-day crash course elsewhere.” Bieg recommends interested individuals to view informative websites such as the faceinstitute.ca. Bieg’s websites are skincare-centre.com, and pendermedispa.com. All good cosmetic work, says Bieg, has “got to suit the patient.” “If you’re going to have cosmetic procedures done of any kind, make sure that you see a physician with lots of experience.”

Biali getting kick out of being new mom I’m working here not only as a jazz musician but in the singer/ songwriter world and pop world as well and also in the gospel music scene here. I feel like my exposure to these other genres has served me as a musician and writer and broadened me and challenged me which is probably why what I create is not necessarily pure jazz. My music reﬂects that range of inﬂuences.

North Shore News: Who are some of the people you’ve worked with in NYC? Laila Biali: I had a chance to work with Sting and as a result of working with him I met several other wonderful New York musicians who I worked with on that tour and have continued to stay in touch with, such as, Lisa Fischer, who was involved with the auditioning process for that particular project, and she’s sung backup for Luther Vandross and Mick Jagger. Somebody who I sub for a lot is pianist, composer and arranger Jon Cowherd who co-leads Brian Blade’s fellowship group. He’s just an amazing musician all around and he has brought me in to sub for him on various occasions and often at jazz church services and I’ve had the chance to play with Myron Walden, who is also in the Brian Blade’s fellowship group.

North Shore News: What was it like working with Sting? Laila Biali: It was absolutely remarkable. He loves to work very closely with his musicians. Part of rehearsing with him is a dialogue of how to get the music sounding its very best. He is so committed to quality and creativity and he wants both to be functioning in that musical situation. I love that because a lot of people in the name of quote, unquote “quality” will create a situation which is extremely controlled musically. I have been in situations where you have a very deﬁned role and a very deﬁned approach and that is to create consistency as you’re touring from place to place. Even though there is some degree of control and planning as it serves the music in Sting’s projects he really does leave room and encourages creativity as part of the rehearsal and performance process.

him — he’s an incredible musician and an absolutely beautiful human being. North Shore News: What was the experience like making your new album, Tracing Light? Laila Biali: Well it was unlike any other because I was ﬁve months pregnant when I went into the studio and I felt like the clock was ticking, so to speak. I had a limited amount of time in which to get everything done. We recorded everything quickly in three days. A lot of it is live off the ﬂoor, and then we went into post-production and in the midst of all of that I had my baby boy (Joshua). North Shore News: How did that affect the recording? Laila Biali: I think I was less apologetic in the process. I just sort

of had to go for it. Carrying a little baby as I was performing these songs and feeling his ﬁrst kicks, I kid you not, when we were in the studio made it just an absolutely treasured time. I do think somewhere in that record one can identify a little, I want to call it “magical” but deﬁnitely different feel and maybe it’s something only I can recognize, but Josh is in there.

North Shore News: As far as the album goes there is quite a mix of material — how do you choose what to record? Are they songs you play live or are they selected specifically for the CD? Laila Biali: That’s a really good question because I find a lot of jazz musicians go at that process backwards. And not backwards to suggest that it’s wrong, but a band like U2 will rehearse and record for up to a year and then they release the album and then they tour and fans are hearing that music for the first time. Jazz musicians will often be performing and workshopping

music in preparation for a recording so people are already hearing the music. It’s already out there and it’s part of their repertoire. The funny thing is by the time the record is released and you begin to really tour it one can sometimes feel that the music is old. Because I had been working with Sting for about four months prior to making the album I was brought away from my own work. When I considered which songs would be a part of this particular project I did take stock of some of the songs we had been performing but also some that had never been performed with my band. I think it is always important to have a record sound cohesive. The songs on Tracing Light are from a span of about 10 years of writing and arranging. One of the instrumental songs, “Human Condition,” was written nearly 10 years ago and had never been recorded. I also wanted some of the edgier, contemporary piano playing to be included and not just be solely song-based. Each song has its own journey and its own story so in that sense I think this record is different from Sea to Sky. Sea to Sky was put together with very speciﬁc parameters where with Tracing Light the parameters were a little looser and I just wanted to have a representation of the various things I had done to date. I tried to have my own personality be the cohesive link between the various songs and interpretations. Before the Performance Works gig on Sunday night Biali will make an afternoon instore appearance at HMV on Robson at 3:30 p.m. to play a few tunes and sign CDs.

MUSIC EUNICE, LOUISIANA’S SAVOY FAMILY

Cajun roots band thrives on tradition ■ Savoy Family Cajun Band, Capilano Performing Arts Theatre, Thursday, June 30, 8 p.m., as part of the TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival. Go to www. coastaljazz.ca for full schedule.

John Goodman jgoodman@nsnews.com

THE Savoy Family Cajun Band brings their down-home, hardcore roots music to North Vancouver next week for a special concert at Capilano University. Marc and Ann Savoy are legends on the roots music scene and raised their four children in the rich cultural traditions of rural Louisiana. Their sons Wilson and Joel have gone on to forge their own musical careers and join their parents on tour when the opportunity arises. Joel talked to the North Shore News prior to the quartet heading north for appearances at the Vancouver jazz fest and the Festival of American Fiddle Tunes in Port Townsend, Washington, July 3-10. North Shore News: What was it like growing up in Eunice, Louisiana, as a member of the Savoy Family? Cajun music everywhere? Joel Savoy: Basically, but not just Cajun music. My parents had friends from a lot of different roots music cultures from around the world. Most notably I guess Frankie Gavin, an Irish ﬁddle player, and Richard Thompson. People that played old timey music and all kinds of stuff.

North Shore News: Where does the French language come into it? Joel Savoy: Two generations ago French was the most common language down here in our area. Cajun French is an old dialect that came down here with our ancestors from Nova Scotia. It was pretty well preserved here, isolated from other French-speaking communities like Canada and France, so it just remained the same as it was from the time of Louis XIV. Today it’s mainly found among the older people. My father speaks ﬂuent Cajun French. We all speak French in my family. Dad grew up speaking French because it was the only way he could communicate with his grandmother who lived across the ﬁeld because she didn’t speak English. The history of this music is that it was working-class people’s music. It was music that they made to socialize and to enjoy themselves at the end of the day or on the weekend after a hard week’s work. They’d get together and play music with each other. This was before the dance hall — it was performed in homes by people who didn’t call themselves musicians.

North Shore News: How has that changed from when you were a child until today? Joel Savoy: I can’t say that it’s changed that much from when I was young. It’s kind of funny, the most notable difference would be that when I was young my parents spoke French among themselves when they didn’t want us to know See Savoy page 46

complexity and immense entertainment value,” while Nate Chen of the New York Times said “it was a wickedly intelligent dispatch from the fading border between orchestral jazz and post-rock and classical minimalism . . . radiating self-assurance, and an almost chilling steadiness of conviction.” The album was nominated for a Grammy and a Juno and garnered a huge response worldwide. “It was beyond anyone’s wildest dreams,” says Argue. “What I thought I was doing was making a really expensive business card, something you can hand to a promoter at a showcase concert or send in to get some reviews from the jazz press. Basically something to open a few doors. I was utterly unprepared for the level of critical acclaim that it got but obviously I couldn’t be happier. It’s music that I want to resonate with people.” For more on Argue and his ensemble visit www.nsnews.com.

lying face down homeless in the street.” In 2003 Argue moved to New York City with his girlfriend and started to put together an ensemble. “I would cold call people and explain I’m a new composer in town and I’ve got this music that I’m trying to get some players together to read through it. We would get together informally once every couple of months whenever I had new music to read through and that was the seed of Secret Society.” The 18-piece ensemble played their first gig in 2005 at the late, lamented CBGB, known more as a punk hangout than a concert hall back in the day. “There was three stages and we were in the basement space,” says Argue. “They had a jazz series there on Sunday nights and it was really like a big open space. There was a corner where there was a makeshift stage and we spilled out from that and came forward into the audience with the keyboards blocking the fire exit and all that kind of stuff.” About half of the musicians who played on that first gig with Argue are still with the band. The core of the group is the rhythm section of Matt Clohesy on bass and Jon Wikan on drums and they give Secret Society a consistency that has continued to take shape over the years. “I write specifically for the players in the band,” says Argue. “Sometimes I write because they have facets of their personalities that I want to bring out and I want to put them maybe in a situation that they wouldn’t normally be in when left to their own devices or in small-group music just to see what will happen. Poke and prod them and challenge them to react to a situation that’s a little different from your standard jazz solo format. The music that I write tends to be

very narrative driven there’s kind of a throughline that runs through the piece and its not cycling over the same form over and over again. Usually there’s an overarching progression to a piece that’s a musical progression and an emotional arc. I’ve been fortunate that the players in the band respond well to that and they are able to put themselves into the piece, rather than outside of the piece, and sort of improvise in a way that is coming out of the written page. It’s almost like actors inhabiting a part within a larger play, like there is a role that they have to play within my composition. I have been really lucky that all the players are really great at that.” Argue’s Secret Society recorded their debut album, Infernal Machines, in three days in 2009 in a New Jersey Studio. Village Voice critic Richard Gehr called the result released on New Amsterdam Records “maximalist music of impressive

MUSIC

Language affects writing style From page 17

The songs were written and previewed at the Bay Area’s Yoshi’s Jazz Club in a collaboration with bassist Todd Sickafoose, who plays with his own band the Tiny Resistors as well as with singersongwriter Ani Difranco. The songs performed at the West Vancouver concert will actually include ﬁve languages, not just the English, French and Spanish that Marya writes in, but also traditional songs in Hindi and Romani. Each language has a different feel, says Marya, and even in her own writing she ﬁnds she writes different songs when she’s thinking in each language. “Right now I’m writing a lot in English and it’s been eight years since I’ve really, really written in English, and I feel like I’m approaching the language almost like a foreign language,” she says. “I tend to express a lot more existential issues and issues around loss

J O H N L AWSO N PA R K

in French, and I think that has to do with the fact my father died in France. I tend to write a lot of political activist things in Spanish, so I think it just depends on what I’m writing.” While many of her songs have a political angle, it’s not her intention, she says, adding she just writes what’s on her mind. Still, she has often sought to use music as a way to lift people up. She extensively traveled the U.S.-Mexico border region for a project to look at how to encourage immigrants to access health services through art, after a patient died of cancer because she sought help too late, saying she was afraid to seek help for fear she might be deported. Which brings her back to her day job. “I think once you’re a doctor you’re a doctor, you can’t pretend you’re not a doctor, it’s just the way you are,” she says. She’ll continue to work part-time teaching with students and expects to eventually be back full time. But in the meantime, she’ll keep writing to heal the soul.

From page 41 what they were talking about. Now they speak French around us anytime and they know we know what they are talking about. I have one brother and two sisters. We all speak French. Our older sister lives in Paris and has a Cajun band over there (Sarah Savoy and the Francadians), Wilson and I both speak French and my little sister studied it but hasn’t really pursued it. North Shore News: Besides your mom and dad who were some of the musicians that inﬂuenced you? Joel Savoy: Like I was saying there were so many musicians coming through all the time. My dad is a country boy and he grew up listening to what was popular around here — a lot of country music and a lot of boogie boogie and things like that but things like the Beatles never made it down here. When I was a young teenager my mom started making me mixed tapes that went from Linda Thompson to The Beatles to Django Reinhardt to Billie Holiday. She’d have little jams with people like Kevin Wimmer and Dirk Powell at the house and they would play swing music and I fell in love with that stuff, but I was exposed to all kinds of music through her. She came from a different area (Richmond, Virginia) and brought in a lot of inﬂuences that wouldn’t have otherwise been in our family.

North Shore News: You have your own label, Valcour Records, which puts out some of my favourite music. How’s everything going? Joel Savoy: We just passed our ﬁfth-year mark. I think we have four Grammy nominations and we’ve been doing really well putting out exclusively music from Louisiana. We’ve got a lot of Cajun and Zydeco. We’ve put out a record by an indie band that’s really taken off right now called Givers. And we’ve put out an all-girl folkie band from Lafayette called The Figs. We’re just interested in putting out what we think is some of the best music coming out of the young generation in the Acadiana area, which is kind of centred around Lafayette with Eunice on the northern end of the region.

Savoy sister Sarah has band in Paris

North Shore News: There’s two generations in your family band — what’s the outlook like for the future of Cajun music? Joel Savoy: Well I think it’s pretty positive. When I have kids I can’t imagine them not growing up surrounded by the same thing that I did. Tonight I’m having a party with probably about 40 people and I’d say 80 per cent of those people are musicians. There’s going to be a bunch of people cooking wild game and all kinds of stuff outside on the ﬁre. It’s a very social thing down here when people get together — there’s always music, there’s always food and there’s always drinking. I don’t plan on changing any of that while I’m bringing my kids up.

FITZMARTYN James Gervase (Gerry) Peter Born in Calgary on November 16, 1944 and passed away in his home in Lynn Valley on June 18th, 2011 from heart failure induced by pneumonia. Gerry is survived by his wife and best friend, June and their two dogs, Kyla and Zena, and two cats, CC and Shadow, June’s sisters Jackie (Fred) McLeod and Anne Van Balkom, as well as many relatives and friends. Gerry and his parents, Winnie and Gervy, moved to North Vancouver from Calgary in 1958, where Gerry attended St. Edmunds Elementary, St Thomas Aquinas Secondary and North Vancouver High School. He did a short stint in the RCAF before returning to complete Grade 12. He then joined the Freight Claims department at CP Rail, where he worked for 31 years. In 1968, he married June (Van Balkom) and they remained married for 43 years. He left CPR and worked with his wife June in her accounting practice, being a welcome distraction to worried customers bringing in their income tax returns. In 1972, they bought their home in Lynn Valley, which they still have. In 1986 they acquired a waterfront cabin on Gambier Island, where they spent many happy summers. After a few scary boat trips, in 1999 they decided they wanted to find a second home that was easier to get to, and purchased a home in Madeira Park on the Sunshine Coast. They were able to use that home all year round and drive right to the door - which was much easier on their animals, Junes mother and others who had found the boat trip to Gambier onerous, including June and Gerry who did not really miss carting all their stuff up the steep ramp at the dock, then up the hill to the cabin. A Celebration of Life will be held at The Holiday Inn, 700 Old Lillooet Road, North Vancouver on Monday June 27th between 3:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. This is to enable any who would have to catch an early ferry to get back to Gambier or the Sunshine Coast, but allow those who wish to attend after work to do so. Please join us. In lieu of flowers, donations to Wildlife or Animal related charities of your choice or the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation would be appreciated.

ANDRUCHOW - Peter It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Peter at age 96 on June 17, 2011 at Lions Gate Hospital. Peter was born in Lamont Alberta but lived for the past 55 years in North Vancouver. He leaves behind his much loved wife Margaret of 69 years; son Ernie (Carolyn), daughter Connie (Fred) and his treasured grandchildren Austin, Alisa, Danielle and Amy. Peter also leaves behind three of his siblings: Josephine, Terry and Elaine. Nothing was as important to Dad as having his house filled with family. He was so proud of each of his grandchildren and the four of them held a very special place in his heart. As he told us, his leaving us has created room for the arrival of his first expected great grandchild. One door gently closes, another opens. You will be greatly missed and in our thoughts and prayers always. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Edmund’s Catholic Church, 545 Mahon Avenue, North Vancouver on Tuesday, June 28th, 2011 at 11:30. JENKNER - Walter G. A long time resident of North Vancouver, Walter passed away in Kelowna, B.C. on June 13, 2011 at the age of 84. Walter was born on January 31, 1927 in Bielitz, Silesia. He was predeceased by his sister Edeltraud Bauernfeind. He was one of millions of people displaced at the end of the Second World War from his homeland and moved to Canada to start a new life. Walter married Sarah Margaret Elliott MD on April 19, 1954. A very talented, self taught artist, Walter worked as a draftsman and designer until he founded his own construction company and built homes in the Lower Mainland, Oregon and Texas. Walter leaves behind his two sons, Rick and Karl, grandchildren Alex, Sarah and Madeline and many friends in Canada, U.S.A. and Europe. There will be no service by request.

BENEATH its bold design, the Nissan Juke packs a turbocharged direct-injection engine offering excellent performance and fuel economy. It’s available at Regency Nissan North Vancouver at 819 Automall Dr.

2011 Nissan Juke

Nissan dares to be different David Chao and Bob McHugh Contributing writers

IF you like how it looks, you’ll love what it has to offer.

The Nissan Juke is a blend of sporty car and SUV utility in a compact, highly fuel efﬁcient and affordable package. The Juke is already a hit with consumers, as more than 50,000 were sold around the world within four months of its launch last year. Yes, its styling tends to have a polarizing effect on potential buyers. Yet even if it’s not to your liking, you still have to credit Nissan for daring to be different. And the differences go beyond esthetics, as the Juke comes with one

of the most advanced powertrains you can buy for less than $25,000. Beneath its bold design, the Juke packs a hot little turbocharged directinjection engine. Two other interesting new technologies offered in the Juke are a torque vectoring all-wheel-drive (AWD) system and a twin-use I-Con display system, which comes with the higher SL trim level. Small but powerful, the one and only engine is a turbocharged 1.6-litre direct fuel-injection (with intercooler), 16-valve, four-cylinder that’s rated at 188 horsepower and 177 foot-pounds of torque.

on road conditions, it can automatically split torque up to 50-50 between the front and rear wheels, like other AWD systems. On top of that, the Juke with AWD also has a new torque vectoring feature on its rear axle that allows it to split torque from side to side across the rear axle. The primary value of this feature is more assured and better cornering, especially on a slippery or slick road surface. It corrects tire slip and gives the steering a more positive cornering feel. Located in the centre stack of the dash of a Juke SL is the new “I-CON (Intelligent Control) system.” It’s a clever dualfunction module that can change its look, colour and task, and simultaneously handle both the climate control system and an array of driving modes. In Climate mode the display shows the interior temperature settings and surrounding switches allow air ﬂow preferences. Press DMode and the display shows engine- and drive-related dials and information, and the buttons change colour and function to allow three driving modes — normal,

Juke takes styling cues MINI VAN MARKDOWN ON NOW from Nissan Qazana From page 56

utility vehicle. It’s manufactured at plants in Oppama, Japan and Sunderland in the United Kingdom. I have actually visited the Oppama plant several times, and I’m always excited to see the Juke being made right inside Nissan’s advanced factory. The looks Short in length but tall in stature, the Juke takes most of its styling cues from Nissan’s Qazana, an active lifestyle concept vehicle ﬁrst shown at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. Based on Nissan’s global B-platform, which also underpins the Cube, the Juke has a wide stance and short body overhangs at front and back. The round headlights, below “crocodile eye” light combinations, are apparently rally car-inspired. It has a sporty coupe look, from

sport and eco. The very well-equipped base Juke is just $19,998. It comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, full power with keyless entry, air conditioning, four-wheel disc brakes, a stability control system, steering wheel audio controls, heated side mirrors, a Bluetooth hands-free phone connection, a security system, audio and iPod interface and a CD player. Our test Juke SL ($23,548) was a frontdrive version and came with the standard six-speed manual transmission. It can also be ordered with the CVT automatic, a $2,300 option. The AWD system adds another $1,800 and it only comes with the CVT transmission. According to Nissan, the Juke is not an SUV or a CUV, it’s an S-CUV or sport cross

Actually, I say “phones” whereas in these modern times, most Dads were happy to note that their beloved offspring had an updated Facebook profile reading, “Best Dad Ev4r!” As for myself, I sent the Paterfamilias the same note I send every year: “Dear Dad. Thanks for the Y chromosome.” Now, some of you are going to think this is a bit of a sexist thing to say, but mistake me not: my intention is not to offend. I just like being a man. Why? Well, it’s not because of some chauvinistic-assumed superiority of the male gender. Quite the opposite. Shall I let you in on a little secret? If you’re a man, you don’t really have to grow up. If you’re a lady, or a woman, or a Ms., people are going to expect certain things of you. You need to be composed and organized. You need to be bright and determined. You are expected to be capable of multi-tasking. If you are a man, all anybody really expects you to do is open stuck-on jar lids. To choose an example at random, it takes my wife at least half-an-hour to pick out an outfit to wear to work, searching through her closet until she can find something that achieves the correct blend of professional attitude and fashionable appearance. Me? Well, I just put on

the clothes I wore yesterday, which I have conveniently left on the floor beside the bed as a time-saving measure. Then I spend the 30-plus minutes I’ve saved browsing classic car websites with an imaginary budget. It’s a dog’s life. Sure, there are a few man-code stipulations: no asking for directions; no wearing socks and sandals; and no drinking anything with an umbrella in it. Also, if you set fire to the downtown core because some millionaires didn’t beat some other millionaires, you instantly lose your man card and are instantly relegated to “ape” status. So, “yes” to liking movies where giant robots stomp on cop cars, but “no” to stomping on cop cars yourself. And never, ever, under any circumstances whatsoever, do you read the instructions. Instructions are for the feeble. Did Steve McQueen read the instructions for the Bullitt Mustang? He did not. Therefore, anytime a new press car arrives in the driveway, there is no question of even a cursory leafing through the owner’s manual. That would be cheating. So, I mash every button available and if that doesn’t work, I shout at it. The last one I had was a new Honda Civic, and while it was a cheerfully competent little car that was as smooth as a river-polished pebble and used, as far as I was able to ascertain, no fuel at all, it still did the odd thing that drove me crazy. If I had bothered to read the manual, I would easily have found that pairing your phone through Bluetooth

support from a forward ﬁrebase that’s under mortar attack from the Viet Cong. As well, the battery life is about as long as the lifespan of a soap bubble and it’s too big to get out of your pocket in a hurry if someone calls you. But it’s also ridiculously easy to use. Hmm, no, not easy . . . intuitive. Like almost any Apple product, you just pick it up and start using it, and everything works the way you expect it to. Why can’t cars be like

four and 14, they could probably set everything up for you, although ask for an explanation and expect plenty of eye-rolling and exasperated sighs. Thing is, I really shouldn’t ﬁnd myself shouting, should I? I mean, shouldn’t car companies not only be adding more technology into their cars but also designing them to be easy for idiots such as myself to use? Take, for instance, my iPhone. Admittedly, as a phone, it’s kind of terrible. Everybody always sounds like they’re calling for ﬁre

cycling through various subroutines simply because I couldn’t ﬁgure out that (counter-intuitively) the correct response to “Connect Phone?” was to select “no” and then the option to set up a new phone would pop up. Now, were you to buy one of these cars yourself, Honda customer service being as exceptional as it is, no doubt some helpful salesperson would have gone through all of the features with you, and you’d have no problem ﬁguring it out. Alternately, if you have someone living in your house who is between

The inside Despite the Juke’s compact exterior dimensions, there’s comfortable seating space for four to five adults on the inside. The rear seatback has a 60-40-split fold-down feature and it provides a reasonably flat extended cargo load floor. The Juke’s distinctive motorcycle gas tank-inspired centre console is another interesting design highlight. Painted in a high-gloss finish, it comes in two colours (red or grey) to match the three interior upholstery colours offered.

rear outboard occupants. The driver and front passenger have additional side-impact airbags and active head restraints. A tire pressure monitoring system and an electronic stability control system, called vehicle dynamic control, are standard. Standard security includes an immobilizer system. The drive The ofﬁcial fuel economy numbers for the Juke were calculated while driving in the “normal” performance mode. Switching to either the eco or sport modes, however, instantly changes the Juke’s driving personality. In eco mode, the engine is slower to respond to gas pedal inputs and you have to press your foot deeper to get a reaction. Leave a little earlier, drive more relaxed, take it easy and save some gas. Selecting sport makes the engine jump into action quicker when you touch the gas pedal and it stiffens the steering for a more positive feel. It’s not the slickest six-speed manual transmission I’ve had the opportunity to drive, but it’s still a good one. The clutch action is light, the shift lever is nicely positioned within easy reach and I liked having the reverse gear on the left side of the selector gate. Even though the Juke has a short wheelbase and a suspension that’s on the ﬁrm side, the ride was surprisingly

Author explores Porsche’s evolution and affordability ■ The Affordable Porsche, by Iain Ayre, Haynes Publishing, 160 pages, $34.95.

IN the world of automobiles, Porsche has carved out a rare niche as a luxury sports car that is affordable for a fairly large part of the population. For those that would doubt this, author Iain Ayre presents his case for how to get the most Porsche for your dollar. The ﬁrst step in affording

one is buying a used, not a new vehicle. Ayre examines various models with an

eye to their strengths and weaknesses. Each model is given an affordability rating and he offers suggestions for best buys. For the majority of people, the 911 is the model they think of when you mention Porsche and Ayre looks at them in more detail. He divides them into decades and goes into speciﬁcs on the evolution of the car during those years. Ayre’s writing style is casual and easy to read so you are not overwhelmed by technical jargon making this a good read for anyone interested in these ﬁne sport cars. — Terry Peters

REV STAND UP PADDLE BOARD DEMO DAY SATURDAY JUNE 25, 10 - 3

Drivers could benefit from auto and tech industry partnership From page 59 that? Why, in this day and age, do we even need an owner’s manual? As evidence mounts that many accidents are either compounded by, or the direct result of, distracted driving, and as the amount of in-car entertainment increases in even the most basically-equipped vehicle, it seems incredibly important to me that you need to be able to fiddle with the stereo without having to take your attention from the road ahead. Now, we all know the reason Apple doesn’t sell cars is that re-tooling an assembly line for an entirely new car is usually only done on a fiveyear cycle, and Apple’s game revolves around bringing out a new product that makes all others obsolete every 45 seconds. Also, if buying a car was like buying a computer, the Apple would cost as much as a Ferrari, but be incapable of driving on certain roads unless they had the latest signpost upgrades. And the PC version would be the price of a Honda Civic; twice as fast, it would catch fire

twice a month, and anything you left in the glovebox might randomly disappear at any time. So I’m not suggesting we should let the technologytypes that design our smartphones and computers design an entire car, just that they should be called in when it comes time to build the interface systems for the stereo and navigation and whatnot. It’s not as crazy as you might think. After all, the Nissan GT-R’s central interface system is powerful and intuitive, and you may remember that Nissan hired a videogame developer to design it. And that Civic? Well, along with the ride and the economy, my favourite thing about it was the driver information layout. Rather than a centre-stack radio display, Honda has integrated a small screen that sits in the forward instrument binnacle, just to the right of the speedometer. Without taking my eyes off the road I was able to switch between radio stations, select and play songs off my iPhone and even scroll through the menus to

turn off the automatic doorlocking system. Aside from linking the phone in the first place (which you have to do while stopped anyway), the whole thing felt easy to use — and safe. More of this sort of thing would be nice to see so, car manufacturers, let’s hire some eggheads from Apple to help you with your interior design. Meanwhile, perhaps the computer guys might also subcontract out to Nerf so my laptop doesn’t break the next time I fling it out the window in a fit of pique.
