Parents facilitate teen boozing: VCH

80% of WV teens get alcohol from adults says survey cited by health authority Jeremy Shepherd jshepherd@nsnews.com

TEENAGERS are drinking, and a lot of times it’s their own parents who are pouring the booze.

That’s something Vancouver Coastal Health prevention educator Kerrie Watt is trying to change with this year’s anti-bootlegging campaign, a joint effort by VCH, police, and North Shore municipal governments addressing adults who supply teens with alcohol.

“Youth have got really easy access to alcohol,” Watt said. “What isn’t often addressed is how they get it.”

Approximately 80 per cent of West Vancouver teenagers get alcohol from adults, according to a 2009 West Van school survey. While there are young adults willing to buy a bottle, oftentimes it’s the parents who buy, according to Watt.

“I’m a parent myself and I really empathize with parents of teenagers today. The culture of teens right now, particularly around alcohol, is fast and swift,” she said.

One of the arguments Watt often encounters is the notion that supervised drinking in a controlled environment is the lesser of two evils.

“I really challenge parents to think about what it is that they imagine they’re doing,” she said. “Are you sitting there and making sure they pace themselves and that they’ve had a full meal and that they’re alternating with one glass of water?”

An observant walker on the Seawalk called police Thursday morning to report a body floating in Burrard Inlet between the Dundarave pier and 19th Street.

West Vancouver Fire and Rescue members assisted in recovering the body.

The remains have not been identified but police say it is the body of a man.

Other details are not being released.

“We don’t have a confirmed cause of death yet but there is no indication of foul play,” said Const. Jeff Palmer, West Vancouver Police Department spokesman. “The coroners service is going to look into whether there’s consistencies between this deceased and recent missing person files.” The B.C. Coroners Service identifies remains and investigates all sudden deaths.

I do, but watch the birdie Benefits hard City density bonusing

Friends arrange 2nd chance for wedding pics

to quantify: consultants

Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

SHE was a June bride the first time, 10 years ago, in her home country of the Philippines.

Brent Richter brichter@nsnews.com

And this past weekend, North Vancouver’s Ruchel Dacanay was a June bride once again — renewing her vows to husband Lemwell Dacanay in a surprise backyard ceremony organized by her friends.

She carried a bouquet of pink and red roses, and wore a tiara and a wedding dress with long lace sleeves down the aisle.

“It was like a real wedding,” said Ruchel, the day after the ceremony — but better.

This time, she’ll have the photos to remember the day by.

When Ruchel and Lemwell Dacanay were married 10 years ago, they were both young and neither of them had much money. But they scraped together what they needed, helped by Lemwell’s sister, and tied the knot in a photo submitted civil garden ceremony.

They had a photographer, LEMWELL Dacanay and his bride Ruchel cut the cake after renewing their wedding but no money to order photos, vows Sunday. They never received pics from their wedding 10 years ago. so they waited.

Instead, he announced they were going out to a restaurant.

But when the couple went back a month later, they found the photo studio shut. Neighbours told them the photographer They’d have to stop by first at a friend’s, though, who had a coupon for a discount. When they arrived at the friends house in had left town.

The newlyweds didn’t have long to dwell on their misfortune North Vancouver, Ruchel remarked that her friend seemed to be though. Ruchel left the Philippines to work as a nanny, ending dressed up. “I’m going to a wedding,” she said.

Then the blindfold came out. up in North Vancouver. Their intention was that Lemwell would Ruchel knew then this was no ordinary anniversary. eventually join her.

She was led into the house where her husband paused to ask They saw each other twice in the next six years.

Eventually, Ruchel became a permanent resident in Canada, her a question. Given all that had happened in the past 10 years, would she still want to marry him? She would, she said. and Lemwell followed her.

“I was crying under the blindfold.”

He had only one photo — a blurry, distant shot taken by a She was taken to a room where her wedding dress was relative — to help convince immigration officials that they were waiting. actually married.

Outside, the backyard was decorated with streamers and pink Once in a while, the subject of the lost wedding photographs peonies. There was a wedding cake and flower girls wearing would come up when Ruchel was chatting with friends.

As the couple’s 10th anniversary approached, her friends took corsages. One of the guests stood in to walk her down the aisle.

Ruchel, said Lemwell, was more beautiful on Sunday than notice — and began secretly scheming, with Lemwell’s help.

One found a second-hand wedding dress she thought would fit she’d been the first time they married. Fittingly, their first dance Ruchel. They began to slip certain questions into conversation: was to the song, “You’re still the one.”

This week, the couple was still overwhelmed by the kindness What was her your favourite colour? What flowers did she like?

As their anniversary date approached, Ruchel said she started of their friends — including chief organizer Angelina Valle.

They’re looking forward to the next chapter of their lives as a to suggest ways she and Lemwell could celebrate. Maybe they married couple, they said — and to being able to look back many could take a long drive. Or have friends over for dinner. years from now on photos of their special day.

Her husband didn’t seem interested, however.

Teen alcohol poisoning 10x greater than drug use From page 1 A cavalier attitude can have dangerous effects, Watt warned.

“At Lions Gate alone this year we’ve had 39 visits. Those are the ones that’ve made it in there,” she said, referring to the young people who have been admitted to the hospital with alcohol poisoning.

The figure does not include young people who have sustained injuries while intoxicated.

Generally, the number of young people admitted to the emergency room due to alcohol poisoning is 10 times the number admitted for drug use, according to Watt.

“We know that the younger that kids start drinking, the more serious and permanent the impacts can be, particularly on their brain development,” she said.

Because the prefrontal cortex is the last part of the brain to reach maturation, it is often noticeably smaller in young binge drinkers.

The prefrontal cortex controls cognitive analysis, abstract thought, and moderates behaviour in social situations.

The barrage of “alco-pops” marketed at young consumers is a

major concern for Watt. “Teens aren’t drinking red wine, they’re drinking highly-sugared drinks that are the flavours of cotton candy and marshmallow,” she said.

Asked if alcohol companies market their wares to teens, Watt replies: “Officially no, but absolutely.”

A bus stop near Sutherland secondary once featured an advertisement for Palm Bay, a fruit-flavoured alcoholic beverage in a colourful can that Watt called “the Bud Light of teenage drinks.”

“The majority of the ridership that’s there is underage,” she said.

That ad galvanized a response among VCH, prompting the group to plaster their own ads in transit hubs in an attempt to create a shift in community attitude.

“Thinking about consuming alcohol as a rite of passage is something that we need to work really hard to try and change,” she said, adding that there are other ways to mark significant events.

“We don’t need to look externally to companies to be socially responsible. I think we really need to start doing it in our own backyards and start having the difficult conversations with our neighbours or our friends or our partners.”

THE City of North Vancouver has earned “an array of interesting and attractive” community benefits by swapping extra development density for community perks, but it may be impossible to know if they were worth the trade off — at least financially.

Those are two of the early findings of a study into the city’s density bonusing policy being carried out by consultants hired by the city.

The practice of trading extra developable floorspace and height above what is written in the official community plan has worked to get the city its new library and refurbished city hall, as well as childcare space and affordable housing at no cost to taxpayers, but the process has bred much consternation among critics, on council and off.

Critics of the process complain that the city’s method of negotiating with developers for community perks lacks transparency and creates confusion; that density bonusing has run amok and the city now allows projects that are too big simply to pull in more amenity investment from the developer; and that there is no benchmark to measure each bonusing agreement for value.

That last point stuck out at an informal council workshop on Monday when consultants Brent Toderian of Toderian UrbanWORKS and Jay Wollenberg of Coriolus Consulting presented the first phase of their report. The two reviewed the last 12 projects the city approved that involved density bonusing, but found not every community perk came with a price tag.

“Often the math wasn’t there, at least in the report and not in the background information,” Toderian said. “It made it hard for us to go back later and determine whether or not you got appropriate value for density. What we certainly found is you got significant public benefit back. You created many things, which are good for the city but it’s hard to know whether you got the right amount of the benefit based on the density that was granted by council.”

Some on council were not impressed by the news.

“So you’re telling us right now there’s a lack of discipline in our process of documenting that has rendered us somewhat incapable of going back to the public and saying we got a fair exchange,” Coun. Guy Heywood responded.

But Wollenberg added, there is more to consider than the absolute dollar value when considering whether a trade-off has been worthwhile, as that often comes down to a political valuesbased judgement.

Under the OCP, council can allow extra height and floor space in a building if the developer offers heritage preservation, community amenity space, affordable or non-profit housing, market rental housing, adaptable designs geared towards seniors and people with disabilities, commercial space or higher environmental building standards.

Every municipality has some form of density bonusing, though some have a maximum floor space ratio they are willing to allow, or have a set formula for determining how much a developer must contribute in cash to build to the maximum density.

The city negotiates its density bonuses on a case-by-case basis.

“The positive of that is the flexibility. The negative is it doesn’t provide any up-front, city-led direction on what priority benefits are or what is specifically needed in a particular geographic area. That’s something we’ve observed as both a strength and weakness depending on your perspective,” Toderian said.

Monday’s “shirtsleeves” session of council drew both developers and members of City Voices, one of the community groups most critical of the city’s recent approval of dense developments, to listen in on how the city might tweak one of its most important pieces of development policy.

Council voted in February to hire outside help after rehashing the same debate at the council table.

The final report, which is expected to contain options for the city to consider in amending its policy, is expected in July. The city budgeted $45,000 for the study.

Some things for the city to consider in the meantime, the report states, are whether to create a maximum allowable bonus, whether to narrow the list of amenities the city is willing to trade density for, setting up a more rigorous system of keeping track of the value of density bonuses, deciding whether to continue bonusing on a site-by-site basis or setting up new bonus density districts, as well as updating the city’s terminology and communication process to make it all more understandable with the pubic.

Intoxatistics

W

ITH grad season upon us, it’s a good time to give parents a nudge about not providing their kids with access to alcohol.

Every year, Lions Gate Hospital treats close to 200 North Shore teens for alcohol poisoning and accidents related to the effects of alcohol. The vast majority of those stats relate to alcohol poisoning.

As our front page story relates, young brains are not fully formed until approximately the age of 20 or 21.

Recent research suggests that young binge drinkers — and binge drinking is the typical pattern — can permanently damage that part of the brain that moderates behaviour in social situations.

In other words: lose control at a young age and you dramatically increase the odds of always being at risk of losing control.

Knowing this, of course our health authority and the police wish to limit societal damage. Dealing with it after the fact is expensive both in human and financial terms.

Nevertheless, we have to wonder why the authority claims 80 per cent of West Vancouver teenagers get alcohol from adults. This sensationalism lacks context.

“Adults” are not always parents. Surely older brothers, sisters and friends are the more likely source of bootlegged liquor. We have trouble believing that the vast majority of West Van parents are buying fruity vodka drinks for their underaged kids every Friday night. And has anyone heard of fake ID? It’s an industry in high school.

Frankly, booze is readily available to any teen who wants it. Modelling how to handle it is as important as who you hand it too.

Clark could lose – you read it here first

BLOATED with vanity for having shocked millions with my accurate May 14 election soothsaying, I now recklessly sooth more:

Premier Christy Clark will be humiliated by a very narrow win — grab a longodds bet that she will actually lose — the July 10 WestsideKelowna byelection. She’s riding for a fall. A big kick in the seat. Little punning there.

Oh, you got that.

Obvious though they are, even to the experts, let me count the ways: First, The Desperate Revengers: The butterfingers New Democrats, who complacently let their polltopping lead slip away while taking the high-minded road, and the B.C. Conservatives, who never got their act together and got the hook without filling a single seat, are eating their guts out over the Liberals’ “Well, that was easy” knockout. They can’t get even. But they can get off

This Just In

Trevor Lautens the mat, bloody a nose on the way to the dressing room, and restore some respect.

It hardly needs saying (a peculiar idiom — if so, why say it?) that Adrian Dix and John Cummins are scanning the help-wanted ads. They need a strong showing if they have a hope of keeping their jobs. Dix’s (new, surely) strategic team will drop the Marquis of Queensberry rules and throw every rabbit punch, knee in the groin and thumb in the eye the NDP can get away with. Anyway, that’s my advice.

CONTACT US

Second, The Sideliners: Clark sucked votes — and goosed some chronically lazy/ indifferent non-voters out of their sofas — from those who were less enchanted with her than fearing a Dix win. Relax. The pressure’s off. New game. Advantage: Dix. Maybe also Cummins among small-c conservatives in south Okanagan, while Liberal potatoes return to their couch.

Third, The Carpetbagger Effect: Will Okanagan voters burst their buttons with pride, welcoming a premier to represent their own dry land (once more, as God intended)? Or will they be on a knife-edge balance with those deeply resenting that their May 14 choice, popular Ben Stewart, was muscled aside by the Liberals’ hit men, an insult to local democracy?

Which impulse, pride or resentment, is stronger in Westside-Kelowna is beyond even my prophecy. But some of those who sweated bullets campaigning to elect Stewart will deeply resent him being handed a made-in-Victoria

sword and advised to fall on it for the greater good of the party, the people, and all that noble stuff.

A premier who couldn’t win her own riding? Too damn bad. Let her wait a few months until paralytic boredom or kindly death removes a Liberal. She doesn’t have to brighten the legislature with her bubbly presence, especially having voiced her disdain for the never-never-land insanity of political Victoria.

Fourth, The Personal Factor: Anyone actually care about Stewart’s feelings? Or are such trifles shrugged off in politics’ crude snatches at power?

If I were in his campaignworn shoes I’d be tempted to tell the party thugs who came a-calling to go take a Highland fling at a rolling doughnut. Actually “Highland fling” is not the exact terminology in this thoughtful phrase from my Hamilton youth, but close enough in a family paper.

Won’t some voters empathize with Stewart’s frozen-smile

disappointment?

Fifth, The Marie Antoinette Syndrome: Clark raised salaries of partyappointed twenty-something go-fers, fixers and footmen to $105,000 then, under attack, cut them to $102,000 — still more than MLAs’ pay, and much more than most of her let-them-eat-cake subjects earn. The Vancouver Sun’s Barbara Yaffe revealed her deputy chief of staff, Michele Cadario, is paid astonishingly more than U.S. President Barack Obama’s chief of staff, and more than the premier herself. Beleaguered, Clark retreated again.

Old B.C. story: Thirty years ago a researcher handed Social Credit cabinet minister Jim Nielsen evidence that a Vancouver Island school superintendent had a bigger paycheque in exchangeadjusted dollars than J. Edgar Hoover, powerful director of the FBI. That researcher’s name will not be revealed here.

Clark’s learn-nothing arrogance coincided with a peak in Canada’s Gross

National Cynicism about the Senate, the prime minister, the mayor of Toronto, Quebec political payoffs, and (once again and still) the RCMP. Not fair wind for any election, especially a byelection.

Sixth, The Bad-Luck Gremlin: A tiny oil pipeline leak, but none is too small to gladden the told-youso enthusiasts, while Clark is finessing the Northern Gateway project, which of course she’ll eventually approve. Even a retreating stock market is shadowing her.

Seventh, The Poor Christy One-Note Phenomenon: Clark effectively pounded the election key of jobs, jobs, jobs — us or disaster (while B.C.’s 2012 growth was lowest in Western Canada).

Liquefied natural gas, given its own ministry, is the knight in shining armour that will slay the demon debt. Or call in the Sugar-Plum Fairy.

The premier will have to find a fresh song sheet to woo Westside-Kelowna, and it says here she’s in tough and tuneless. rtlautens@gmail.com

Coal export debate just getting fired up

WHILE those two oil pipeline proposals from Enbridge and Kinder Morgan have been hogging the limelight in recent months, another part of the energy debate is about to elbow its way onto the public stage.

That would be the issue of increased coal shipments through Metro Vancouver for export to Asia. It’s a subject that is just heating up, as environmentalists turn their sights on a vital part of B.C.’s natural resource-based economy.

B.C.’s coal industry generates more than $3 billion in economic activity each year, and provides high-paying jobs for many people. It’s in a position to grow, as Asian countries’ insatiable appetite for coal shows no signs of ebbing any time soon.

This province has three coal exporting facilities, one in Prince Rupert and two in Metro Vancouver: Neptune in North Vancouver and Westshore Terminal in Roberts Bank. Another company — Fraser Surrey Docks — is proposing to turn its container terminal into a coal loading facility.

Helping to drive this push for more coal travelling through Metro Vancouver is the huge demand in Asia for “thermal” coal from the United States, mostly from the Powder

View from the Ledge Keith Baldrey

River Basin in Wyoming. While most of B.C.’s coal is of the metallurgical variety and is used primarily to manufacture steel, thermal coal is primarily burned to create energy.

There is not a single coal exporting facility on the U.S. west coast, although a couple may be built over the next decade. In the meantime, however, the only way to get that thermal coal to the Asian marketplace is through one of Metro Vancouver’s terminals.

Environmental activists have seized on two arguments in opposing more coal traffic.

First, they argue, more coal means more coal dust falling on the neighbourhoods through which coal trains run.

The second argument is that exporting more thermal coal to Asia will simply worsen the global warming trend as the more coal that is burned, the more greenhouse gas emissions occur.

The industry insists the coal dust concerns have been taken care of because coal trains are sprayed with dust-eliminating liquids at various stages of their journey, and at the terminals themselves.

But the climate change argument may be a more difficult one for the industry to refute. The movement to end global warming is growing and certainly has appears to have a large constituency in British Columbia.

The coal industry’s main allies are countries like India and China, who import most of the coal from B.C. and the U.S. Those countries’ counterargument about their need to burn coal for energy is also a compelling one as more

energy means more people in those vastly populated countries can be lifted out of life-threatening poverty.

My Global BC colleague Jas Johal’s recent four-part series on coal exports included an interview with Sam Pitroda, an adviser to the prime minister of India. He noted the hypocrisy of Western countries, which have been burning coal for more than a century, purporting to limit the ability of India and China to do the same.

Then there’s the jobs argument. Premier Christy Clark’s re-election win was based on the relentless message of the need to create jobs, and it obviously proved to be a popular one with the public.

Join us on Sunday mornings during the summer at 10:00am.

Sunday, June 23

Living the Jesus Way

As the debate heats up, the Clark government will come under pressure to state its position on the movement of coal (although the federal government has jurisdiction over ports). It is also the kind of issue that could further expose the growing split in the NDP between environmentalists and bluecollar job proponents.

We’ve seen this movie before, of course. The fact this province’s economy is largely based on the extraction and export of natural resources has made B.C. ground zero in many campaigns waged by environmentalists against industries.

The environmental movement has never explained

how shutting down or greatly reducing B.C.’s natural resource sector won’t have negative consequences for the provincial economy. There appears to be no realization among those who oppose mining or forestry that those activities help pay for their health care and education.

But those inconsistencies have not stopped the environmental movement from enjoying past successes. Will it be successful in stopping not only the construction of oil pipelines through B.C., but also the proposed increase of coal shipments through our ports? It’s a classic made-inB.C. kind of fight, and it’s just getting started.

Garcinia Cambogia

Weleda

GARCINIA CAMBOGIA is a rare tropical super fruit grown in the remote jungles of Asia. It has traditionally been used to make meals more filling ultimately reducing desire to overeat while also helping to block fat from being made in the body.

Beauty comes from within!

Long before it was a trend,Weleda left harsh chemicals out of its natural skin and body care products.The company was founded by Dr. Rudolf Steiner and Dr. ItaWegman in the early 1920s. Steiner also created the holistic method of agriculture known as biodynamic farming, andWegman understood that the human body has a remarkable ability to heal itself, but sometimes it needs a little help. So they developed a personal approach to health care using natural ingredients that work with the body’s own healing tendencies.They planted a Biodynamic garden to grow the ingredients needed for their remedies.They named their new enterpriseWeleda, after the Celtic goddess of healing and wisdom.Today, we still cultivate our own biodynamic gardens and believe that natural ingredients provide what a body needs to be vibrant, beautiful and well.

City Shaping biased in favour of density

The following is part of the June 10 delegation presentation to City of North Vancouver council

by Fred Dawkins and Marc Pederson on behalf of North Van City Voices.

WE wish to comment on the City Shaping process for gathering community input into the new official community plan.

We have had misgivings about the City Shaping process since the kickoff event in February 2012. In fact, that was the catalyst that led to our group coming together.

It appeared to many of us that the process was being stagemanaged to achieve a predetermined goal: legitimizing this council’s drive to accelerate the densification of North Vancouver.

Throughout the public consultation, ever-increasing density has been presented as the solution to every challenge. People want green transportation? Build more density and transit will surely follow, never mind TransLink’s ongoing fiscal challenges. We want housing affordability?

Build more density and the increased supply will supposedly keep prices down — even though we’ve seen the reverse happening elsewhere in the Lower Mainland. A more vibrant street scene? More density means more people strolling the streets. Economic development? More density with stores on the ground floor.

And so on.

Citizens were encouraged to participate in the process.

But the discussions have been framed and channelled by the assumption that big density is inevitable. We’ve been told, in effect, “Let’s assume we have to add x number of new units: Where do you think they should go?” At no time were we asked, “How fast should we grow?” Or, “How big is big enough?”

The last City Shaping public event in May was billed as an interactive event that would provide an opportunity to

discuss the various scenarios that staff have developed to this point. But there was no public discussion, only a display of information boards. Attempts to have an open Q & A were discouraged by staff.

The information on the boards, which was presented as reflecting back what residents have been saying during the process, was open-ended and aspirational — residents want more green space, more cultural hubs, safe streets, housing our kids can afford, jobs close to where we live — but there has been no discussion of trade-offs or hard choices. The City Shaping information treats all of these aspirations as equally desirable, and equally attainable. The only category that showed specific targets was, of course, housing density and where to put it.

The apparent bias in favour of densification, combined with this council’s philosophy on leveraging density bonusing to achieve social objectives, and its See 2031 page 11

INQUIRING REPORTER LONGBOARDING has grown in popularity even while the places to legally longboard have shrunk. The District of North Vancouver barred boarding on Skyline Drive but left the rest of its roads open to riders in the hopes the longboarding community will regulate itself.FourWestVancouver longboarders have been hospitalized in the past two months despite a district-wide ban. Do those collisions prove the futility of a ban, or should other municipalities follow West Van’s lead and keep reckless rollers from swooping down steep streets?

— Jeremy Shepherd

Joe Devlin North Vancouver “Yes. It’s too dangerous.

Too many kids are getting hurt with it.”

Should longboarding be banned?

Isiah Brisker North Vancouver “Absolutely not. It’s not necessarily dangerous if you’re doing it correctly. If you have a helmet and pads it should definitely be fine.”

Ana Behnke North Vancouver “No. It’s a really cool sport.

It would just be nice to see some areas designed for longboarding; incorporated into bike parks and that kind of thing.”

Ryan Gilfillan North Vancouver “Why should it be banned?

Biking on the road is just as dangerous.”

Min Naruki Burnaby “No. It’s a form of physical activity.”

BUSES out of Phibbs Exchange to downtown Vancouver will drive a different, and likely slower, route for a year.

Powell St. project alters bus routes

THE wheels on the bus are going around and around the Powell Street overpass project this summer, with at least three changed routes affecting North Shore commuters.

With construction on the $50-million overpass scheduled to begin Monday, June 24, buses will be heading to Hastings Street to avoid Powell.

The 209 and 210 Upper Lynn Valley/Vancouver will avoid much of Powell Street, turning down Clark Drive and onto Hastings Street on the way downtown. The bus will pick up its original route at Howe Street. Heading back to North Vancouver, the 209 and 210 will detour at Homer Street and Pender Street, turning down Hastings and switching back to the original route at Clark.

Similar route changes are in store for riders of the 211 Vancouver/ Seymour/Phibbs Exchange. The bus will also veer from Powell to Clark, turning down Hastings and taking its established route at Howe. Heading back, the 211 will run up Homer to Hastings, picking up the regular route at Clark.

The 214 Vancouver/Blue Ridge/Phibbs Exchange will also use the same detours.

The routes are scheduled to return to normal by the summer of 2014.

Service is slated to increase on the water this summer, with one SeaBus leaving every 15 minutes between 10 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. The SeaBus is scheduled to return to its regular schedule after Sept. 2. Go to translink.ca/servicechanges for more information.

2031 population already here

From page 9

recent track record for approving almost every request to override the limits of the existing OCP — by our count, 15 times over the past couple of years — leaves us concerned that our community is being pushed in a direction that most residents would not support if they were ever asked directly.

City Shaping was essentially a large focus group — it gathered the breadth of opinion. However, there is nothing quantitative or scientific that city staff can point to. No cost/benefit exercises were conducted with the public. The public preferences detailed in the staff’s report are based on a very small sampling, and are therefore questionable as a guide to what residents want.

It is our contention that the assumptions about growth that have been driving the City Shaping process are fundamentally flawed and unjustified. They are alleged to be dictated by Metro’s Regional Growth Strategy, yet they go way beyond the stated RGS targets.

At the outset of City Shaping we were told that the RGS growth targets are what the city has committed to meeting, and the OCP had to reflect that. City Voices then came back to council and pointed out that, according to the most recent census data and the development projects that are currently planned or approved, we are already close to that 2031 RGS target of 28,000 dwellings and 62,000 in population. Add in the growth of coach houses and secondary suites, which staff don’t include in their numbers, and we might already be there.

Now staff appear to be trying to add some wriggle room. They are calling those RGS projections “minimums,” and suggest we should exceed them. They have suggested that instead of assuming 2.1 or 2.2 residents per housing unit, as the projections now do, we should plan on 1.8 or even 1.6 per unit, which of course would allow for a lot more units to be built. Now they’re saying we need a 20 per cent buffer on top of the targeted growth to make sure we’re never caught short of capacity. Why such a buffer is needed, and how it will work in practice, never came up in any public forum.

We have to ask, why? What is the justification for these assumptions? How will North Vancouver be a better place to live by increasing the population so quickly over the next 20 years?

What’s wrong with steady growth at a pace we can accommodate, in terms of the increases in services, amenities and infrastructure

that we’ll need? We’re not confident that this council’s eagerness to approve more condo developments is matched by TransLink’s willingness to increase transit service, or the provincial government’s willingness to expand our only hospital. Where will our new parks come from? How long before we get a new recreation centre to serve our aging population?

To sum up, we believe the City Shaping process has been biased in favour of rapid densification. We recognize that the city will grow. But we believe the growth targets and assumptions used by staff are overstated and unjustified. We believe the people of North Vancouver want growth to be at a pace that allows amenities and services to keep up so that the quality of life that attracted us to this place will be maintained, and it will still be a great place to live in 2031.

Some questions we would like staff to answer: ■ Are Squamish First Nation developments included in the OCP population growth targets and assumptions? We have heard they are not, yet the RGS states that “all municipal totals” include First Nations communities within their boundaries. Please clarify how you are figuring Squamish developments and population growth in your projections.

■ Have there been any traffic studies covering all of North Vancouver — including the district — that examine the traffic impact of the projected population growth under various transit scenarios, including the possibility of little or no increase in transit service? If not, are any such studies contemplated?

■ In suggesting a 20 per cent “capacity buffer,” has staff looked at what other municipalities are doing in this regard?

Who else has a similar buffer built into their plans? Is 20 per cent a standard?

■ Will there be an opportunity for residents to provide their input into the development of the city’s “regional context statement?”

EVEN though she was born in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire and is based in Paris, France, Fatoumata Diawara considers Mali her home and that was the reason she swung into action last year when all hell broke loose in the north of the country.

After the fall of Muammar el-Qaddafi in Libya, Al Qaeda-allied Islamists saw an opportunity to extend their reach further into Sahara Desert regions and took control over much of Mali’s north. France and West African neighbours helped Mali initiate a

counter-offensive against the invaders earlier this year.

A French-led military intervention recaptured the northern cities of Timbuktu and Gao from Islamist insurgents and dismantled the militants’ main base in the Ifoghas Mountains in northeastern Mali, near the Algerian border. Although the move defused the situation somewhat Islamic militant groups such as The Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (MOJWA), AQIM (Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb) in Algeria and Boko Haram in Nigeria are continuing to harass and spread terror throughout West African populations.

Diawara, 30, returned to Mali in December of last year to mobilize the artistic community and help spread the word about what was happening in her homeland. She put together a supergroup of musicians, Voices United for Mali, to record the song “Mali-ko (Peace/La Paix)” at Studio Bogolan in Bamako. More than 40 musicians assembled over a three-day period to cut the seven-minute track. After two weeks of sound mixing and video production the finished song was released on Jan. 17.

“What’s going on in Mali?” Fatoumata Diawara sings in the Wassoulou language of southern Mali as she takes a turn at the microphone. “Do we really want to kill each other? Do we really want to betray one another? Allow ourselves to be divided? Remember, we are all children of the same mother country when we stand together, all of Africa is stronger.” (youtube. com/watch?v=elwA7SHM8_U).

“It was necessary to do this project,” says Diawara.

“We didn’t have a president — nobody to talk to the Malian population about peace. People didn’t know what to do and they were very angry about their brothers from the north, saying it was the Tuareg’s fault and it’s not you know. It is important for the artists in Mali to do the right thing. ‘Don’t kill your brother, we do not want a genocide situation.’ Mali is very special, it’s not a war country. It’s very peaceful. I can see the impact of the project because people can see it now on television and on the radio. Everybody plays

The Liquidator’s living large on OLN

West Van’s Jeff Schwarz returns for a third season of dealmaking ■ The Liquidator, Outdoor Life Network, Thursdays at 6 p.m.

Season 3 starts June 27.

Jeremy Shepherd jshepherd@nsnews.com

SHARKS swim, lions roar, and Jeff Schwarz makes deals.

Even after a brief conversation with Schwarz it’s difficult to imagine the West Vancouver resident taking a vow of silence or even getting through a movie without trying to swap his half-bag of Skittles for a full box of Raisinets.

Schwarz talks.

His speech has the cajoling humour of a carnival barker luring rubes into the tent and the frenetic rhythm of a football announcer narrating a sudden-death touchdown drive.

Growing up on Fraser Street and 50th Avenue in Vancouver, Schwarz got his first sense of the value of a dollar from his grandparents.

Recent immigrants from Poland and Germany, his grandparents tended to suss out deals in second hand stores. “I guess that’s where I started, really,” he says.

Schwarz is now the star of The Liquidator on the Outdoor Life Network. The reality TV show follows him through mismatched merchandise, odd deals and encounters with bizarre characters.

But way before he became the toughest negotiator on OLN, Schwarz was just a clumsy guy scouring garage sales for lava lamps.

“At that time lava lamps were coming back,” he recalls. “I dropped the guy’s lava lamp and the guy, he was just choked.”

As the waxy glob rolled across the ground from the shattered casing, Schwarz glimpsed a camera. “I said: ‘What do you want for this camera?’”

The seller asked for $20 and Schwarz picked it up for $15,

throwing in another $10 for the busted lamp.

The seller tossed in another camera free of charge and Schwarz’s heart rate sped up.

“I thought ‘Wow, that’s gotta be worth a lot of money,’” he says.

The free camera was worth exactly what he paid for it. The $15 Nikon Rangefinder was worth a little more.

“When I showed it to this guy, this guy lifted up the camera and about 30 guys from Hong Kong that happened to be there went absolutely insane,” he says, recalling the Kerrisdale camera swap meet. “These guys went crazy, nearly knocked me over and I’m a pretty big guy.”

He sold the camera for $3,100 while his son rested in a carrier on his lap. He’d been broke before that deal, relying on his wife’s part-time to job to support their young family.

Today he’s the president of the Direct Liquidation warehouse in Burnaby. He’s bought movie props, mattresses and dildos, always relying on the instincts he’s cultivated in countless flea markets.

There have bad deals along the way, he allows, like when he picked up more than $50,000 worth of suits.

“I took a s@#*kicking on these things and I think we probably lost about $15 to $20,000.”

The show seems to be part of the wave of reality TV spawned by the global recession.

“It seems like that’s what’s sort of in right now is these buying and selling shows,” he says.

“In tough economic times everybody’s trying to make a buck and trying to figure out a buck.”

What makes The Liquidator different for Schwarz is the characters he encounters.

“Some of the people that I deal with, they’re like crazy people. I don’t mean crazy, but they’re just unique, and capturing some of these guys on camera is quite funny,” he says. “People like me and them, we seem to find each other like glue.”

Schwarz lives his life on-call, always on guard for the next big thing. “It is really stressful, man,” he says. “Just yesterday we got a guy call up, he’s got 20 bedroom sets. I go, ‘Buddy, I got no room.’ He says, ‘You don’t get it, I got no room,’ and he goes ‘You can have ‘em.’. . .

You’ve got to take advantage of the opportunity when it arises. A lot of times it means getting the stuff out today.”

Schwarz recalls being on the sidelines of his child’s soccer game, surrounded by parents with nine to five jobs.

“Here I am at the soccer field watching my kids play in West Van and I get a call, this guy wants to liquidate a warehouse full of blah, blah, blah. You never know when the deal comes,” he says.

Asked if he was looking to move out of the business, Schwarz was noncommittal.

“It’s hard to say where it goes. I’ve had a lot of fun with it. I’ve got to meet a lot of cool people. There’s people that come to my warehouse that are worth literally two-, threehundred million, and there’s people that are coming that worth next to nothing. And at the end of the day, the same principles apply no matter what you’re buying and selling, and everybody’s got a story, and that’s what’s kind of cool about this business.”

Third instalment just as talky as the others

From page 23

on their hours-long relationship and Celine has tracked him down.

In Before Midnight the couple, now in their 40s, is finally together; however, the heady days of new romance is behind them, and malaise has set in.

The couple lives in Paris with their twin daughters. Jesse works on his third book while Celine has been offered her dream job.

But Jesse’s 14-year-old son from his first marriage has spent six weeks with them in the Peloponnese, and his departure has Jesse ruminating on his failure as a father and as a role model: “He doesn’t even know how to throw a ball”.

“This is where couples break up . . . I’m actually surprised we lasted this long,” says Celine, quick to over-analyze the situation. A relationship that at first seems stable shows cracks, dissolving into he said/she said, a sexual putdown, and one or two slammed doors.

The third instalment is every bit as talky as the first two: there is driving and talking, walking and talking, drinking and talking.

There’s even foreplay and talking. The characters sermonize about the writing process, American culture, childbirth, sex and feminism.

It’s challenging, and downright disappointing if you are craving a Harlequin Romance-style story arc.

We are a continent led to believe that love can be found on reality TV, after all, thanks to The Bachelor, Elimidate, For The Love of Ray J . . . pick your poison. For Canadian and American audiences, an airbrushed love story built on conversation and absent of silicone implants may not always compute.

Plus, the plot is not particularly endearing: the kid-cuteness doesn’t take centre stage, for example, though under more mainstream direction the wavy-haired twin girls who play the couple’s children could certainly have been exploited for that purpose. Celine demands more than motherhood for her life, remembering that when the girls were infants she felt like she was doing it all wrong, and wanted to kill herself more than once. “My greatest fear is becoming a submissive housewife,” she says. (If Meg Ryan said a similar thing to Tom Hanks at some point, we certainly didn’t believe her.)

Director Richard Linklater offers lovely, intimate vistas. In one scene the couple chats in a tiny Byzantine-era chapel, and in another, lengthy dinner party scene we feel as though we have a seat at the table. He doesn’t shy away from long takes, letting the actors expose themselves to our lengthy scrutiny.

And for those of us orbiting the same age and life challenges as Celine and Jesse, the issues brought up are all too familiar. Credit goes to screenwriters Linklater, Hawke and Delpy for making the torrent of perceptive — sometimes pretentious — dialogue raw and real for viewers. It remains to be seen whether we’ll see Jesse and Celine exchanging verbal jabs into senility, but I’ll be watching.

MUSIC

Yamagata passionate about her profession Singer/songwriter enjoying the ride travelling the world on tour

Nicholas M. Pescod Contributing Writer

RACHAEL Yamagata never imagined that her passion for music would turn into a successful music career that would take her around the world. But that’s exactly what happened for the Virginia-based singer.

photo supplied

RACHAEL Yamagata’s music has appeared in numerous TV shows and movies including The O.C., One Tree Hill, Smallville, How I Met Your Mother, ER, Grey’s Anatomy, 30 Rock and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

“When I started songwriting something just clicked. I had done everything from language majors in college and then a theatre major. I hated school. I hated authority and discipline so I wasn’t doing well in theatre class. I didn’t seem to have the dedication that was necessary,” she says.

As Yamagata’s desire for a career in theatre burnt out she began toying with songwriting and quickly discovered she loved it.

“It really developed into a passion and I didn’t think I would do it professionally,” Yamagata says. “The professional stuff came after.

It was almost like a by-product of me loving what I was doing in music.”

Yamagata’s passion has taken her all over the world and seen her release three studio albums along with a handful of EP’s. Last week she performed at the Electric Owl in Vancouver with Sanders Bohlke.

“We’re going to try and drive really fast from Salt Lake so we can spend two nights there instead of one,” Yamagata said before the gig. “It’s definitely one of my favourite cities. I think it’s beautiful and we always have a fun show.”

Yamagata’s performance in Vancouver was just one stop on a lengthy tour that has already seen her perform in Montreal, Toronto, New York, Chicago, Denver, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City and Madison, Wisconsin.

She has performed throughout Europe, Asia, Quebec and the United States. Yamagata says that when performing over in Asia the See Yamagata page 33

Yamagata played in funk band before she went solo From page 28

crowds express their gratitude and appreciation towards musicians very differently than crowds in North America or Europe.

“What was hard is that the audiences are so polite that you don’t get the feedback that you normally look for,” she says. “You can’t transition in between songs because people are so polite that they won’t clap if any music starts.”

“A lot of Asian fans are really interested in the motivation of why you write that specific line. They’re really detailed with some of their questions and that kind of reaction really surprised me as well,” she adds. “Going to other cultures reminds you that music doesn’t really have a specific language barrier. It’s a universal language.”

Before her solo career Yamagata was in a funkadelic band, Bumpus, for six years. Eventually,

she began to realize that her style of music was much different from the vibe the band was creating.

“The things I was writing really didn’t have a place within that band,” Yamagata says. “I realized that I couldn’t devote my time to the band.

That’s really what naturally changed.”

As a solo artist Yamagata has released three studio albums, four EP’s and a live album. Her most recent EP, Heavyweight, was released last year.

Her music has also appeared in numerous television shows and movies including The O.C., One Tree Hill, Smallville, How I Met Your Mother, ER, Grey’s Anatomy, 30 Rock and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Yamagata often writes in the middle of the night or on the road and typically draws inspiration from relationships of all kinds.

“I pretty much write lyrics, melodies and

music all at the same time,” she says. “It always stems from some sort of gut wrenching emotional fog that I am in. So there are a lot of relationshipthemed songs. I feel like there are a lot of the same elements in relationships whether it’s friends, coworkers or lovers. We’re all trying to connect with one another.”

Yamagata has collaborated with a wide range of notable artists such as Ryan Adams, Jason Mraz, Rhett Miller and Ray Lamontage.

“It always helps to watch somebody else approach the same thing that you’re trying to do,” she says. “I think working with other people can be really inspiring. All of the great people that I’ve worked with they’re very down to earth.”

Yamagata has also worked and toured with Grammy winner Mandy Moore. During their collaborations the two connected on many levels.

“She’s very dedicated, very smart and really well-educated in music,” Yamagata says. “We

had all this girl talk on all other levels. It felt like a really good connection in terms of writing together. So we did a little bit of that before touring together.”

That was really a great experience because I think we both looked up to each other,” she adds.

Yamagata admits she’s wasn’t the biggest fan of editing her work in terms of writing lyrics.

While spending time writing with Moore she learned about tenacity and patience.

“I write it and then I am done with it. I am on to something else, my attention span for editing is not great and she (Moore) is a person who will be very concentrated on getting the right lyric or the right emotion to come through,” Yamagata says.

“I think that was very inspiring to me. Her work ethic is great.”

Life’s a beach for design duo Sand and surf inspire local jewelry brand

Christine Lyon clyon@nsnews.com

SHE sells seashells by the seashore. No, really, she does. Or rather, they do.

Identical twins Heather and Karen Hendry have launched a line of jewelry that pays homage to the beach, including the pebbly shores of Deep Cove where the sisters grew up.

Their Karenjess brand features seashells, stones and other found objects cast in sterling silver or bronze.

“We’ve always been obsessed with the ocean and beachcombing,” says Heather, describing herself and her sister as “water babies” inspired by their zodiac sign, Cancer, the crab.

The 30-year-old siblings graduated from Seycove secondary, both love surfing, and have volunteered with the Surfrider Foundation, a nonprofit organization that leads trash cleanups at local beaches and mountains.

Karenjess jewelry actually began four years ago as a side project, but the Hendry sisters recently decided to grow their brand. Karen, the “brainchild” behind the operation, designs and handmakes all the pieces in her Vancouver studio.

Heather handles the business side of things.

“So we complement each other pretty well in terms of our skills,” says Heather, who has moved to Tofino for the summer where she is doing plenty of surfing and helping friends open an arts space that sells Karenjess pieces.

The Hendrys’ jewelry line includes necklaces, rings and bangles. Their Washed Up collection incorporates beachcombed objects,

For the last two years, the twins have created keepsake trophy necklaces for female participants in the Rip Curl Pro Tofino surf competition, using cast shells from the beach where the annual tournament takes place.

They first got into fashion during their former modelling days, but never followed fads, Heather says, explaining that their preference for timeless style and simplicity is reflected in their jewelry line.

authored children’s books and the clues to a scavenger hunt that takes little explorers over the rocks, through the forest and on the beach — all on Wickaninnish Inn property.

The concierge will even arrange for an in-room babysitter so mom and dad can tuck into a quiet table downstairs at The Pointe Restaurant for awardwinning cuisine, grown-up conversation and a 240-degree view of the pounding Pacific surf.

On our first morning at the inn, the kids and their dad head off on a guided nature walk so mom can get down to important business: a visit to the spa.

The readers of Conde Nast Traveler magazine voted the Ancient Cedars Spa the top resort spa in Canada two years in a row. The spa incorporates elements of the inn’s natural West Coast surroundings into its a slate of signature treatments.

The spa menu changes seasonally and includes the Hishuk Ish Tswalk treatment

based on the natural cleansing ceremonies of the West Coast First Nations. I opt for the West Coast Sacred Sea, a full-body hydrotherapy revitalization.

My treatment starts with a full-body exfoliation using a Seaflora body polish with seaweeds harvested by Vancouver Island’s “Seaweed Lady” Diane Bernard. Next, I indulge in a hydrotherapy soak, where warm jets of water massage up and down my back like waves on the shore. After my soak, a firming seaweed gel is applied to my whole body, I’m wrapped in warm linens and I drift off to sleep. I’m revived from my slumber by a rejuvenating scalp and foot massage.

I blissfully float outside and down to the beach to find the kids happily clambering over the rocks and wading in the surf. We wander over to the Carving Shed to visit with “Feather” George Yearsley, the inn’s resident First Nations carver. Later, at the invitation of the Wick’s owner and manager Charles McDiarmid, we spend the afternoon at Shell

Beach, the inn’s sheltered cove that plays host to weddings and other special events, and is accessible only by private driveway. Then it’s off to Tofino for pizza dinner at the chic yet child-friendly eatery Shelter before turning in for the night and falling asleep to the crashing waves.

The next morning, after gobbling fresh-baked muffins from the inn’s Driftwood Cafe, we’re off to the beach for a lesson with Surf Sister Surf School and then checkout. There’s just enough time to brave the lineup at the Tacofino food truck, a Tofino phenom that serves up Baja-style fish tacos, before hitting the road for the journey home — with sand in our hair, sea salt on our skin and the wild West Coast in our hearts.

••• When you go: Crab Cookouts start June 24. The Wickaninnish Inn invites in-house guests down to the beach on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings to watch the sunset and enjoy a Tofino

Cat Toren returns home for jazz festival Pianist performing several shows in Vancouver over next two weeks

■ TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival, June 21-July 1, visit coastaljazz.ca for schedule and ticket information.

Christine Lyon clyon@nsnews.com

THERE was a time when pianist Cat Toren was ready to quit playing music.

At 17 years old, the stress of mastering classical compositions was getting to be too much for the Argyle secondary student.

“I always felt like I had to play the song perfectly and I never could,” says Toren, now 29.

But before she was able to abandon the keyboard forever, she discovered a genre of music that granted her the freedom to make mistakes, to express herself creatively and, most importantly, to be herself.

“I turned to jazz because I liked improvising, and composing was my favourite thing about music,” says Toren, who has two record releases under her name and has contributed to numerous other albums. “You don’t have to have so many rules all the time.”

Toren drew early inspiration from big-name jazz artists such as Herbie Hancock, Keith Jarrett and Bill Evans. Today, she says she is influenced by her network of creative music friends and colleagues.

For many music listeners, a true appreciation for jazz is something that must be cultivated over time.

“I think for more modern jazz you either need to have a certain taste or a certain personality to get into it right away,” says Toren, who evidently had an appetite for the musical genre right off the bat.

After high school she earned her bachelor of jazz studies from Capilano University and, almost three years ago, left North See New York page 43

AT the jazz fest Cat Toren will play several free and ticketed shows with her own bands and the Pugs and Crows quintet, which won Instrumental Album of the Year at the 2013 Juno Awards.

Nouveau Stride goes back to the roots of jazz ■ Nouveau Stride (Lorraine Feather and Stephanie Trick) will perform tonight, Friday, June 21 at 7:30 p.m. at the West Vancouver Memorial Library, part of the North Shore Jazz series of the TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival (June 21-July 1). Free. Info: coastaljazz.ca.

LORRAINE Feather couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

A self-defined “stride fanatic,” the American jazz singer, lyricist and songwriter was talking to a bass-player friend who shared her passion for the early style of jazz piano.

“He told me about this person I had to check out online, a stride player from St. Louis,” she says. “He said, ‘You won’t believe it: A stride player, 26 years old, a girl!’ I was a little dubious because stride is so hard to play. I’ve even worked with top-flight L.A. musicians who have said, ‘Oh, I can’t play stride, my hands aren’t big enough.’ So the thought of a girl doing it piqued my curiousity.

I looked at her videos and I was just flabbergasted. I couldn’t believe how good she was.”

Feather began exchanging emails with the pianist, Stephanie Trick, telling her about her own experiences with the genre, including a record she released in 2001. Featuring songs by the great Fats Waller, Feather incorporated original lyrics and vocals. She also told Trick about her 2009 award-winning animated short film See Feather page 42

You can hear it every day. I’m really surprised. It’s more than I was expecting.

“When I came up with the idea people were very happy,” says Diawara. “They said, please, let’s do that and thank you so much for your idea.

‘Don’t kill, don’t be angry about your own brothers from the north.’ Many are victims of this situation. Take your time. Think. This song was for that and it works. It’s a really sad moment in our lives.

Every artist was in Bamako at that time because we love our country. Oumou Sangaré, Toumani Diabaté, Amoudou & Mariam — everybody was in Bamako at that time.”

As a child Diawara became a member of her father’s Abidjan troupe performing dances from the Wassoulou tradition, their family’s ancestral home in southwestern Mali. “Dance was my first language,” she says. “When I was a child I was always smiling even if I was not happy I was always smiling. If I wasn’t dancing my parents would say ‘Fatou is ill today.’

Dance was my first language and then I started to sing when I lost my sister. We were very close and she passed when she was 10 and I was nine. I started to sing to (keep her) close to me. When I sing I feel better than when I’m talking. Music is like medicine for me. I don’t sing for the technical side I sing photo Nonesuch Records to express what I feel in my soul.

I start to my smiling and my positive way and he invited me to say a couple of lines in the movie (Taafe Fanga/The Power of Women, 1996) and play guitar when I’m rehearsing. When I like a melody I record and listen, listen, listen to it many times and try to find the voices. Like I started like that. After this movie people called me.

Feather grew up surrounded by jazz From page 40 based on one of her Waller adaptations. The short was produced in collaboration with a New York indie animator and screened at 35 international festivals.

Both finding themselves in Los Angeles, the two musicians decided to get together to do some playing.

“We just got on like a house afire,” recalls Feather.

The women eventually decided to go into the studio and, as duo Nouveau Stride, released Fourteen last fall.

As their respective schedules allow (for example Trick has a packed summer, including a number of international dates with Italian pianist Paolo Alderighi), Feather and Trick are continuing to perform together and are set to take the stage tonight in West Vancouver, part of the North Shore Jazz series of the TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival, which opens today and runs until July 1.

Nouveau Stride will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. at a free show at the West Vancouver Memorial Library.

“Every time we perform together it’s like Fourth of July it’s so much fun,” says Feather.

On their duo website, Feather and Trick describe stride piano as, “the movement of the left hand as it strides rapidly over the keys to hit the lower bass notes. A very popular, hard-driving style of music in the 1920s and 1930s, stride piano marked the beginning of jazz.”

Feather has long had an interest in jazz. The daughter of late jazz writer Leonard Feather, she takes her name (Billie Jane Lee Lorraine) from her godmother Billie Holiday, her mother Jane (who was a big band singer), Jane’s one-time roommate Peggy Lee, and song “Sweet Lorraine.”

Since 2007, Feather has called Orcas Island, the largest of Washington State’s San Juan Islands, home, a far cry but still a natural progression from her former New York City life.

“I’ve been kind of going this way for sometime,” she says. “I was born in Manhattan. My parents moved to L.A. when I was 12, and then I moved back to New York as an aspiring actress when I was 18, stayed there for quite a few years, eventually got into singing and moved back to L.A. Then when I got married in ’83, we had a house in L.A. and then my husband, Tony Morales, was a drummer with a band called The Rippingtons and . . . got interested in computers, and ended up working for Silicon Graphics and we moved to the Bay Area.”

At that point Feather was writing for animation as a lyricist as well as other projects that, thanks to the Internet, she was able to work on from anywhere.

“At a certain point we were both working at home and wanted to find a place with more land for our dogs — we don’t have kids but we’ve always had rescue dogs — and we wanted some place beautiful that wasn’t as overcrowded as Northern California was becoming. We just took a trip to the San Juan Islands and became smitten and not that long after got a house,” she says.

Feather maintains a busy artist schedule, and spends a lot of time travelling to and from LA for her own projects as well as to collaborate with other musicians and writers.

Last year, she released two albums, Fourteen with Trick, as well as solo record Tales of the Unusual, which received a Grammy nomination.

Feather is currently putting the final touches on her next work, Attachments, set for release in August.

“This one is about the different connections we have with people as we go through life, to our families and friends, to lovers, to creatures, to places. It’s about the way you attach to all of those through time — attach and detach of course, in some cases,” she says.

“It’s jazz, but it’s all original music, and it’s something of a hybrid jazz sound because there is violin, there are classical overtones, there are Americana overtones, so it’s not what you would call straight ahead bebop,” she adds.

MUSIC

New York scene an exciting place to play

From page 38

Vancouver for the thriving arts borough of Brooklyn, New York where she teaches, composes and works as a contributing musician for a number of ensembles.

Toren has returned to the Lower Mainland to perform at the TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival, which runs June 21 to July 1. She is scheduled to play several free and ticketed shows with the Cat Toren Band, the Cat Toren Standards Trio and the Pugs and Crows quintet, which won Instrumental Album of the Year at the 2013 Juno Awards.

Performing at the Vancouver jazz festival is something Toren looks forward to every year.

“It’s the best,” she states simply. “The (Vancouver music) community loves each other so much that they want you to succeed and you feel that energy and you feel really good.

Sometimes in New York you feel like everyone’s really critical, so it’s more difficult.”

Although she is active in the New York music scene and

has many longtime friends whom she met during educational stays at the Banff Centre, the city’s vast arts community can be intimidating at times.

“It’s enormous,” Toren says of jazz in New York. “(In Vancouver) I feel like you could know pretty much everyone in the creative music scene, or at least by one degree of separation.

In New York that’s not at all true. There’s just so many different little communities of music, which is overwhelming but also really exciting.”

Toren describes her Brooklyn apartment as “basically one big room” with a bed, dining table, bookshelf and baby grand piano all competing for space. It’s here, in moments of creative solitude, where she writes her music. Sometimes the inspiration hits her fast and hard; other times she has to improvise at the keyboard for a long while before entering “the zone.”

“It’s kind of a mindset that you get into and, depending on where you are in your life, you get into it a lot or a little,” she explains.

Discovering jazz was not the only thing that motivated

Toren to continue down a musical path. As a child, she would climb onto the bench in front of her grandparents’ piano and bang out tunes. Her family recognized a natural talent and signed her up for lessons.

“Every time I wanted to quit my parents would say ‘You can’t quit because you’re good at it,’ and then I would get all rejuvenated,” she says.

Today, Toren’s music library includes plenty of the classical masterworks she was introduced to during those early lessons.

“I still really like Beethoven a lot, for example, and Mozart and Bach, but I wouldn’t want to listen to only that because it’s pretty predictable now.”

She recently decided to revisit classical music and is taking lessons from a 92-year-old “piano guru” on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The experience has revived her classical appreciation, she says. But unlike her 17-year-old self, she no longer strives for a copybook execution.

“You don’t need to be a perfectionist when it comes to music,” she says. “You have to be yourself.”

Hollyburn Funeral Home Ph. 604-922-1221

Born in Bridlington, Yorkshire, England, October 18, 1920; died in North Vancouver, BC, June 7, 2013. Only son of Charles Joseph Thompson, F.R.A.I.C. (founding partner of Sharp and Thompson, Architects, later Thompson, Berwick and Pratt) and his wife Florence Elizabeth (nee Hartley).

Brother of Josephine Esme and Elizabeth Joyce (Betty); all deceased. Survived by his dearly beloved wife Mary Eleanor (Ellie), his companion and soul-mate of nearly 62 years, and by several nieces and nephews in British Columbia and Ontario whose Uncle Denny/Tommy held a special place in their hearts.

Educated at Shaughnesy College, University Hill School, and the University of British Columbia (whose original buildings were designed by his father). His studies at UBC were interrupted by WWII and in 1942 he enlisted in the RCAF, graduating as a Pilot in 1943; he served operationally and as an Instructor in Canada until early 1945 when he was transferred to transport duties overseas. He remained in the RCAF after the war, completing his degree at UBC while on leave. After graduation in 1949 he served in Vancouver, Rivers, Trenton, and Ottawa in various capacities and abroad in Metz, France and Lahr, Germany as Chief of Staff 1 Air Div. HQ. After a year attending Imperial Defence College, London, England, he returned to Ottawa as Dir.-Gen. Personnel Services, CFHQ from which position he retired in 1974. In retirement, he and Ellie enjoyed many years commuting between their summer and winter homes in Vancouver and San Diego and Tommy remained an enthusiastic golfer and long time member of Seymour Golf Club for many years until well into his 80s. The family wishes to thank the staff of Hollyburn House, West Vancouver, for their kind and gentle care of both Tommy and Ellie over the past few years.

Cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be held within the next few weeks. No flowers by request.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to THE ROAD

Nice to know the classics are in good hands Brendan McAleer Contributing Writer

BY a curious coincidence, I stumbled across a group of touring pre-war Bentleys for the second time last week.

off aerodynamic kit, a large rear spoiler, and a low-slung stance. Given the standard car’s fancy looks, the boy racer treatment really suits the Focus. The exhaust pipe looks like a 1970s vacuum cleaner attachment.

Unlike some other hothatches, there’s a pretty wide range of colour choices as well.

Aside from the tester’s tearup-my-license yellow, you can choose from blue, silver, red, white or black — this last gives the ST a somewhat menacing air.

Environment Again, everything to love about the ordinary Focus is present in the ST’s compact interior. Rear seat room is

I had first seen them parked near Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah — of all places — and then found myself passed by the jittering, smoking, rumbling convoy not two blocks from Capilano canyon.

What amazing machines, belching and farting out improperly digested hydrocarbons, all gleaming brass and leaf-springs and folding windshield and hailfellow-well-met. It always makes me happy to see these cars not merely preserved, but driven. Out there in the sea of humdrum ecopods, it’s like catching sight of a heritage house nestled in-between rows of glassy-fronted condos.

It occurred to me, as I chatted with one of the organizers, sketching out his Los Angeles to Seattle route map, that these leviathans will always be at this sort of nonsense. The sea will rise and the sun will parch the land and the struggle for resources will reach fever pitch as the waterhole shrinks and oldtimey cars will keep trundling about the country on endless, pointless, ridiculously long road trips.

And, in 100 years, if you tried to pull the same sort of trick in a 2013 Bentley, you’ll look like an idiot. Because you’d be pushing it.

It’s not just Bentleys either.

THE Focus ST is Ford’s entrance into the hot hatchback world. It incorporates the fast while toning down the furious enough to be a practical everyday driver. It is available at Cam Clark Ford in the Northshore Auto Mall.

THE obvious question is: why not simply buy a Mustang?

Scan this page with the Layar app to see more photos of the Ford Focus ST.

Hmmm, that’s a stumper.

After all, the V-6 version of said pony car now pumps out an entirely respectable 300+ horsepower, gets decent fuel mileage and handles reasonably well with a track package. And there’s a huge aftermarket to boot.

It’s the North American way to have a Fast Ford.

Slap a Route 66 sticker on the back and let’s go out for cheeseburgers.

However, across the pond, blue-oval enthusiasts have had a completely different idea as to what constitutes a hot Ford.

While we’ve been spoiled with cheap and accessible

Grinding Gears

Brendan McAleer musclecars, the Europeans invented the hot-hatchback segment, blending practicality and performance together.

Cars like the Volkswagen GTi have worked well in translation. The Mazdaspeed3 has been on sale for half a

decade, kicking butt and taking names. Now here’s a bright-yellow four-door Ford, labelled the Focus ST, that aims to show both how it’s done.

Giddy-up!

Design Well, you’d look a bit put out if someone forced a mandatory front licence plate on your air-sucking grille too.

In bright, road paint yellow (Tangerine Scream, of all things), my tester more than slightly resembled a bird with a breathing apparatus: Duck Vader.

In all other respects, the ST is an ordinary Ford Focus with some go-fast bits stuck on. That means you get big 18-inch alloys with meaty Goodyear Eagle rubber, a one-

Winner of the 2012 AutocheX Premier Achiever Award for Extraordinary Customer Satisfaction

A52 - North Shore News - Friday, June 21, 2013

REV Collision shop a smash hit at awards TAYLORMOTIVE satisfied its customers in 2012, and they’ve got the hardware to prove it.

The North Vancouver repair shop with a specialty in collision work took the AutocheX Premier Achiever trophy back to the shop following an awards ceremony held at ICBC’s centre in Coquitlam on May 28.

Taylormotive was the only North Shore auto shop to take home a prize, a trophy they also snagged in 2010.

The awards were sponsored

by Mitchell International, a California company that compiles customer satisfaction data. The honour demonstrates Taylormotive’s commitment to customer satisfaction, according to a release from Mitchell.

Approximately 400 repair companies out of 50,000 shops across North America qualified for the award.

good, everything folds flat for easy cargo loading, the hatchback trunk makes stroller storage a breeze — it’s a nice, practical family car.

Of course, plonk yourself

in the front seats and a whole different animal emerges.

These heavily bolstered leather Recaros pinch the butt like sitting in a kid’s chair in Ikea.

to a particular station. Unlike some other manufacturers (hem-hem-Volkswagen-hem) the voice commands seem to do what you want without shouting, though you do have to follow the script.

Other than that, there’s good visibility, sensible gauges, Euro-style interior mood lighting — the ST is a nice place for your passengers to be. It’s also as chic inside as an upscale nightclub and impressed several passersby when parked.

Performance With a 2.0-litre engine making 240 h.p. and 270 footpounds of torque to be routed

through the front wheels, you probably think you know how this little beast drives: plenty of wheelspin, torque steer and sawing at the steering wheel.

Um, nope.

While VW’s GTi remains a little more composed with nearly 20 per cent less power, the Focus ST is considerably more manageable than the paint-chip-eating Mazdaspeed3. Yes, there’s a bit of tugging at the wheel as all that thrust gets transferred to the pavement, but Ford’s engineers have been busy behind the scenes.

Underneath the ST’s skin, there’s a bunch of electronic trickery designed to handle the difficulties of high-power

front-wheel drive. The car’s electronic brain has the ability to brake a spinning wheel, thus transferring power to the wheel that still has traction.

Even more clever is Ford’s Enhanced Torque Vectoring Control. This system has the power to sense when a ham-handed driver (who, me?) has over-cooked it into a corner and apply braking to an inside rear wheel to have you whanging through the corners like a salmon up a stream.

Ordinarily, all these electronic nannies can feel like there’s a tutting third hand on the wheel, a school-marmy rap on your knuckles every

time you try to have a little fun. The example that comes to mind is the Mazdaspeed3’s tendency to limit turbo-boost whenever the wheel is turned, making getting up to speed on the Capilano on-ramp a bit dicey.

In the ST, however, you

just mash the throttle and the little yellow rocket kicks up its heels and scoots scoots scoots.

Yes, there’s that tugging at the wheel, but it’s not the leash-pull of a disobedient dog — more like the eager leading of your faithful border collie running partner.

THE ST’s high powered engine can be dialed up for a day at the race track or scaled down for dropping the kids off at soccer practice.

From page 56

This car simply loves to be driven quickly, and as there’s a large electronic safety net and no anti-social rear-drive tail-out behaviour, you need not feel overly guilty. I’m not saying zipping around town in a bright-yellow hatchback isn’t going to land you in hot water — let’s not get the constables involved, shall we?

On the racetrack, the Focus offers the ability to turn off its various traction aids and simply pilot the car with driver skill alone. There’s also an intermediate “Sport” setting that allows for a small amount of tire-smoking tomfoolery without the worry that you’re going to spin off into the weeds.

On the road, loaded up with the family, the ST settles down into a friendly ride that’s firm but not overly harsh. It’s easy to drive when you’re not rowing through the gearbox, tame enough to pull double duty as the commuter and the corner carver.

Features The ST comes very wellequipped with leather interior, smartphone connectivity, dual-zone climate control and heated seats as standard.

You also get fog lights, the aforementioned alloys and a decent stereo — you will have to pay for a sunroof, though ($1,200).

Other potential add-ons include Navigation (a not unreasonable $800), XM satellite radio ($1,000), and

— that’s about it, really. As with most of its competitors, the ST is already near the top of the option tree and is equipped as such.

Fuel economy ratings are set at 8.9 litres/100 kilometres in the city and 6.2 l/100 km highway. Not bad, though getting anything close to the city rating is nigh-on impossible with a heavy foot.

However, while premium fuel is recommended, the Ecoboost-4 will run on regular gas — handy if you’re taking a longer drive where you’re going to be light on the throttle anyway.

Now, by the standards of the past, we’re ALL driving modern luxo-barges. or private repairs And that makes it hard, nay, impossible to pick out what might survive long enough to become a so-called modern classic.

Henry Ford probably first turned the automobile into a consumer product and status symbol, but we’ve spent the century turning it into something different — a disposable tool.

You need look no further than the Porsche 911 to see the best example of this. The new car whips any of the old ones six (at Pemberton) North Vancouver ways from Sunday, dynamically speaking.

So, the iPad’s great, and then along comes the next one which is smaller/bigger/ brighter/shinier/faster and every kid wants one. The cycle seems to be a new release every eight months, and it’s accelerating.

And then, on the other hand, there’s your mechanical watch. It’s fussy, heavy, requiring a careful craftman’s maintenance — and it’s ticking right along. Wind it up for 40 years and hand it to your grandchildren — no problem.

This is the charm of the older car, and as collector plate availability approaches the 1990s, it might be reaching its peak. Those Bentleys will always be on the road — there’ll always be someone who wants to fix them up.

practicality; stylish interior.

Stop sign Trunk space not as large as others; summer-appropriate tires only; seats too snug for some.

The checkered flag Fast, but not too furious to live with everyday.

THE Mazdaspeed3 is a little bit of a loose cannon. It’s got the power to compete with much more expensive machinery but is not quite as composed as the Focus ST.

THE Volkswagen GTi has been hot for a long time. It’s not as quick as the others but very well balanced.

Competitors Volkswagen GTi Ah yes, the elder statesman of the wild ride. With a new model destined to hit our shores by the fall, the GTi is going to pick up a little more pep and shed a few pounds to become even more formidable than ever.

It’s a total-package kind of car, not quite as quick as the Ford, but extremely balanced and available in more trim levels. The plaid seats are pretty cool as well. However, the ST does claim top performance honours and in this segment, bragging rights go a long way.

Mazda Mazdaspeed3 Totally nuts. Mazda’s little hatchback hooligan is as wacky as the mile-wide grin on its grille. Kinda like owning a dog who likes to shout “squirrel!” and then take off in a random direction.

It’s more powerful than the Ford, and on the highway it’s quicker even than much more expensive metal. However, it’s also much less composed than the ST — might be too much of a handful for family use. mcaleeronwheels@gmail.com
