Teachers to picket summer school Classes cancelled unless contract deal reached by June 30 JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com
Most summer school classes on the North Shore will likely be cancelled unless the teachers and the province reach a deal within the next week.
That could affect about 1,400 students who had planned to take summer classes. Administrators in both North Vancouver and West Vancouver are holding off making final decisions as long as possible.
This week, however, the teachers union said pickets would be set up outside sites where summer school is usually held and teachers who usually teach those classes won’t be on the job. The province has asked the Labour Relations Board to declare some summer classes — which allow high school students to pass courses they have failed — an essential service.
But that only covers a small percentage of the courses generally offered in the summer. In North Vancouver, between 600 and 700 students usually register for summer school, said Laurie Martin, district administrator for the program. That includes a remedial 40-hour program for students in grades 8 to 10,
which allows them a chance to pass courses. It also includes a more popular 80-hour program that offers entire courses in a very compressed timeframe. Most students who sign up for summer school take that one, said Martin. Some students even rely on it to complete courses needed for graduation. But if summer school is behind pickets, those courses
won’t go ahead. Classes normally start on July 3, but “We’re looking at pushing it back to July 7,” Martin said. About 300 students are also registered for online courses over the summer in North Vancouver. Martin said it isn’t clear yet how those courses would be affected by a summer strike.

North Shore Rescue members are wondering who would break into one of their backcountry rescue caches and steal or destroy gear that could mean the difference between life and death. The team learned on Monday that thieves broke into their cache of gear in Hanes Valley. “The damage was extensive,” said Doug Pope, North Shore Rescue search manager. “They both stole gear and vandalized equipment and our helipad that is adjacent … It’s been growing as we assess. Our estimate now is around $15,000 in damage” The thieves made off with tents and sleeping bags, gas stoves, medical See Rescue page 5

School-based summer camp is a go From page 1 West Vancouver School District is in a similar situation. About 700 students there have registered for summer school, but only a “tiny percentage” of those have signed up for remedial sessions that might be declared essential services, said spokeswoman Bev Pausche. If summer school is picketed, both full-credit courses and elementary classes will be cancelled. She added the school district
may not even have enough staff to teach remedial classes. So far it’s not clear whether any day camp programs run out of schools during the summer months would be affected by a continuing strike. Fran Bourassa, who runs community school programs at Norgate, said the annual summer camp for elementary school kids focusing on outdoor education is going ahead as planned. But she said it’s been difficult to get the word out to parents.
Registration has definitely been lagging, she said. “Usually we’re pretty full by now.” Daniel Storms, president of the North Vancouver Teachers Association, said the union hasn’t worked out who will be on the picket lines when teachers are usually on their summer break. Mary Jo Hunt, a high school English teacher and mother of three children who go to school in North Vancouver, said after weeks on the picket line, teachers are feeling “frustrated and confused and passionate
and angry.” Hunt said she usually teaches summer school and relies on that income. She added her kids have learned in the past two weeks “what protest looks like, what standing up for what you believe in looks like.” On Thursday, Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the government has no plans to legislate teachers back to work. He said the province is prepared to consider mediation but added the two sides must be closer together for that to work.
NorthVancouver andWest Vancouver’s Liberals have selected their challengers for the 2015 federal election. Former West Vancouver mayor Pamela GoldsmithJones and green tech CEO Jonathan Wilkinson both soundly won the nominations in their respective ridings at candidate selection meetings over the last week. Goldsmith-Jones said she’s been drawn back into politics after hearing a lot of local dissatisfaction with the ruling Conservatives. “(The) federal government that we have isn’t honouring freedom of speech, transparency, accountability, basing public policy on evidence and science rather than ideology,” she said. “I think we have the responsibility to put things on a different course “I think a lot of these questions are directly relevant to the future that we seek for this riding.

Protest art seizure draws investigation
Probe into CapU effigy to examine academic freedom BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
The Canadian Association of UniversityTeachers has taken on the case of Capilano University art instructor George Rammell whose protest art was seized by the university administration last month. The association is now conducting an investigation into whether Rammell’s academic freedom was violated when former university board chairwoman Jane Shackell ordered the statue of president Kris Bulcroft, dubbed Blathering on in Krisendom, be
taken away. “We were appalled by what we had seen,” said Jim Turk, the association’s executive director, after seeing Rammell’s story appear in various news media. Rammell made the caricature in protest of the way his and other programs were cut from Capilano during a budget shortfall in 2013. In justifying its removal, Shackell said it constituted harassment of Bulcroft.The administration has since told Rammell he can have it back as long as he promises not to display it on campus. Under the terms of the

association doesn’t have any teeth to enforce its recommendations, it can censure Cap — a fate most schools will act to avoid, Turk said. “We publicize that this
is a pariah institution and recommend that no on take jobs there.We recommend that academic organizations not hold conference there and we advertise internationally for students and faculty the fact that this is a censured institution,” Turk said. “It’s a sanction that’s so effective that, with one exception, we haven’t had to censure any university administration in Canada since 1979.” The practice of academic freedom is sacred to universities,Turk said, and it extends to allowing university professors the ability to research, teach, criticize their own institution and comment on any issues they want without fear of professional reprisal,Turk said. “It really is the one
institution in a society where, presumably, there is the freedom to examine all sides of things.That’s how we advance. If we didn’t question conventional wisdom, we’d never move beyond it,” he said. Rammell’s case is very similar to the one of Robert Buckingham, the University of Saskatchewan professor who was fired for criticizing the way his administration handled budget cuts,Turk added. Buckingham was later rehired. The university has already declined to take part in the investigation on the grounds that the Capilano Faculty Association has already filed a formal grievance with the university. “Capilano University See Professor page 11

Pope’s was one of the lives saved by that specific cache a few years ago when 25 Korean hikers became stuck in the snow-covered valley. The cache’s firewood, food and gas kept the hikers and rescuers alive overnight. “Our team was in there at 4 a.m. and I was making Gatorade tea while we waited for the helicopter to come to pick us up in the

The thieves would have had to hike about three hours from Lynn

Carbon dated T
o the surprise of no one, Transportation Minister Todd Stone has told the Lower Mainland’s mayors their transit plan is a non-starter if it means dipping into the province’s carbon tax to pay for it. The carbon tax was meant to be an incentive to get people out of their cars — because people tend to take more notice of climate-friendly policies when they are hit in the pocketbook — but what good is collecting the tax if you’re not going to reinvest it in building an efficient transit system as a viable alternative? So we’re left with the prospect of a referendum if the mayors want to pay for trains and buses with new forms of funding. A referendum is questionable in several respects. The mayors who came up with

the plan are already duly elected to represent their constituents. The B.C. Liberals, more than anyone, should know what happens when you put higher taxes to a vote, as we saw from the HST fiasco. Somehow, we don’t think Bill Vander Zalm is going to swoop in and campaign this one to success. We also note that multi-billion-dollar bridge and highway projects haven’t had to clear the same hurdle. Even though Stone agreed the status quo is not acceptable for a region expecting a million more residents in the next 40 years, he has had nothing to say about what the contingency plan is if the vote fails. Lower Mainland voters will have plenty of time to consider that prospect as they sit in gridlock or wait for a bus with room for more passengers.

System can no longer do more with less Dear Editor: The government claims that the education budget has increased substantially over the last decade and claims there is no funding shortfall taking place. Teachers claim they’ve experienced significant cuts in the classroom over the last 10 years.The public doesn’t know who to believe, and wonders how both can be right. Assuming annual inflation for the cost of goods and services and salaries of two per cent per year, compounded for 10 years, the education budget would have needed to grow by 28 per cent. Unfortunately, that is not all that’s happened. Consider the following extra incurred by the system:
1. Payroll taxes like MSP have increased at a greater rate than funding. 2. Full-day kindergarten was introduced with insufficient added funding. 3. Schools are no longer able to charge for summer school programs or online courses. 4.There has been a significant increase in registration for online courses, but success rates are significantly lower than traditional courses indicating resources are used less efficiently. 5. High-school equivalency courses at colleges and universities are now free. 6. Energy costs have risen more than inflation because of the carbon tax and the carbon offsets that districts were required to purchase.
CONTACTUS
7.There is an expectation that students have access to technology that didn’t exist as ubiquitously as it does now and this comes with a significant capital and maintenance cost. 8. School districts now pay software licensing fees they never had to incur, or incurred to a lesser extent, like the mandated Electronic Student Information System.
9. More and more schools are running breakfast and lunch programs for students that come to school hungry. This happens even in affluent neighbourhoods. 10. Curriculum changes in the last 10 years have required new textbooks at every grade level in many subject areas and substantial amounts of “discretionary” budgets have funded these. The education budget
must cover all of the above and there is a point where the system can no longer do more with less. I encourage you to go out to a picket line and ask teachers in your neighbourhood how things have changed in the last 10 years, and what their fears are for the future.

Class size not a concern in 1950s school days
Dear Editor: All we hear about these days is the usual ruckus coming from a few school teachers. I went to school in North Vancouver from 1947 to 1959. During the early years in elementary
school, our class size was 40 to 44 students. During my junior high and high-school days, again the class size was 35 to 40 students. We never had any computers. We never even heard the word “strike.” We had our
field days and sports days, and it was fun. The teachers enjoyed these days as much as the students.You hear some teachers saying they don’t have enough time to spend with each of their students. I don’t recall any
of my teachers when I went to school who worked oneon-one with their students. Yes, we all came through our first 12 years of school with no serious problems. See Today’s page 10

VIEWPOINT
Harper may have created a pipe dream for Enbridge Prime Minister Stephen Harper may not realize it, but his government’s decision to conditionally approve the Northern Gateway pipeline may be a huge gift to the very folks who are leading the charge against the pipeline ever being built. That would be the Canadian environmental movement, which has made Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline Enemy No. One. By giving the project semi-official “status,” the Harper government has ensured the environmental movement now has a surefire and lucrative fundraising weapon, and an organizing one as well.To be sure, the enviros have been dining out on Northern Gateway for some time now, but they can now ramp up their anti-pipeline campaign big-time and take it to the international stage. But the irony here (aside from the fact that Harper is actually aiding the environmentalists) is that there is a good chance the Northern Gateway won’t even be built. For all the outrage whipped up
Keith Baldrey
View from the Ledge by pipeline foes as part of a fundraising scheme, it is more likely not a single pipe is ever laid along the proposed route. And given the way the Harper government made the pipeline announcement — a terse four-paragraph news release at 5 p.m. Ottawa time, without a single cabinet minister or B.C. Conservative MP being around to even talk about it — one may think it shares the doubts about this project ever coming to fruition. Enbridge is facing many obstacles, some of them significant and others less so. But put them all together, and they create what may be a mountain that is
impossible to scale. For starters, there are the 209 conditions the federal Joint Review Panel attached to its own approval of the project. More than half of them must be met before construction can even begin, and some seem onerous. For example, the company must complete a detailed survey of all kinds of wild species and aquatic marine life, as well as such things as “culturally modified trees” that have grown since 1846 (when B.C. became Crown land).
But perhaps most importantly, Enbridge has to prove it has consulted adequately with First Nations affected by the project, and on this point the company is especially vulnerable.While the company says it has secured the support of more than 20 First Nations bands, the fact remains that many more vehemently oppose the project. The B.C. courts and the Supreme Court of Canada have demonstrated that a lack of aboriginal treaties
in this province has meant First Nations’ interests must be accommodated and respected, and that bodes ill for the Northern Gateway project. And then there is the B.C. government, which is no small problem for Enbridge. Premier Christy Clark has set five distinct conditions that have to be met before her government will support the project.

Slow down on density Dear Editor: Mayor Walton warns us if we don’t accept more taxes for transit it could make life in the Lower Mainland quite miserable. Here’s an idea: stop approving so many highdensity developments. Everywhere I look it’s more townhouses, apart-
ments, highrises and condos. Where’s it going to end? When the streets are completely choked full? It’s bad enough now, and don’t tell me that transit is going to magically solve all the problems. Peter Lovegrove North Vancouver

Ranger service urged for Grouse Grind N.Van trail user wants resort to pay for, not just profit from attraction
pays to respond to emergencies on the Grind — which Outside Magazine last year said was the fifth most dangerous hiking trail in the world. About 150,000 people do the Grind yearly, putting more than $1 million into Grouse Mountain’s coffers through the $10 fee levied for taking the tram down and for seasonal passes. When the original lease was signed long ago between what is now Metro and Grouse, the tram ride down was free. It went to $5 years ago and is today $10. Some parking used to be free, but as of this year all the lots are paid parking. It costs $4 to park in the newly paved lot. All the traffic on the Grind trail can tie up half the resources of the North Vancouver district’s fire department when they’re called to respond to emergencies. Wayne Kennedy, the district’s deputy fire chief, says he responds to about 20 emergency calls from the Grind a year. The district sends two
GORDON MCINTYRE The Province
Grouse Mountain Resort doesn’t pay anything to maintain the North Shore mountain’s worldfamous trail. The Grouse Grind is a public trail owned and maintained by Metro Vancouver; the land around it is owned by Grouse Mountain Resort. The two parties have negotiated for years to have Grouse Mountain take over the trail, but — unable to agree on liability — have never reached an agreement. “Metro (Vancouver) has to assume all the capital costs, all the risk, while Grouse Mountain continues to reap all the commercial profits,” said hiker Richard Kinar, an outdoor enthusiast and former professional freestyle skier.

“I think the public needs to know that Grouse Mountain Resort doesn’t pay a penny.” Grouse does pay Metro for leased land that its trams traverse. But the lease agreement was in place decades before the Grind became popular. Kinar said maintenance of the Grind puts a
tremendous tax burden on local residents and it’s time citizens understand what’s going on from an economic perspective: “Metro pays for a trail that Grouse Mountain profits from.” Metro Vancouver owns the trail, while Grouse Mountain owns the land below the Grind at the trail entrance — and where the
parking lot is — as well as the land on top at the end of the Grind trail. Metro Vancouver, a governance board representing 21 local municipalities, maintains the trail, getting it ready when the snow melts and doing upkeep — building new steps, removing rebar that might be sticking up,
responding to public input — throughout the season. Metro also pays $4,000 per month to North Shore Search and Rescue to do a sweep of the Grind each day at dusk to ensure there aren’t any stragglers or waylaid hikers left behind in the dark. The District of North Vancouver, meanwhile,

City asks TransLink for new depot Council wants transit authority to keep buses on North Shore BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
The City of North Vancouver is again pushing back at TransLink’s plan to close the Third Street bus depot and relocate it off the North Shore Council passed a motion from Coun. Don Bell Monday night, asking for a new North Shore depot to be included in TransLink’s long-term capital plan. “I know Third Street is not an ideal operation. I know the residents directly adjoining it would like to see it gone. But my fear is, symbolically or psychologically, once that facility leaves the North Shore, we’re going to have a tough fight to get a facility back on the North Shore.” The main concern from Bell and others on council, is what would happen if a traffic accident or natural disaster blocked access to the bridge during the early
morning when the buses and their drivers would be making their way north. “If the two bridges go down, coincidentally or because of an earthquake or something, we’re hooped,” said Coun. Rod Clark. Council passed a second motion calling on TransLink to provide a contingency plan for how service levels can be maintained in such an event.TransLink staff has said that North Van residents could share in the buses West Vancouver stores overnight at a depot on Lloyd Avenue in the District of North Vancouver. Council passed a series of similar motions in 2012 after learning of TransLink’s plan. Since then,TransLink has started construction of a new depot big enough to house 2,000 buses just off Westminster Highway on the Burnaby/New Westminster border.That facility is expected to be complete in 2015. Beyond worries of the risk of losing access to buses, city council members questioned the wisdom of making the 180 transit drivers who live on the North Shore commute to Richmond each morning to collect their buses,

City and district staff have examined a number of potential alternate sites, including on Port Metro Vancouver property, Squamish Nation land and at Capilano University’s parking lot, but none of the options were deemed large enough or accessible enough to justify entering into negotiations for a new depot with one possible exception. The report did state the Lloyd Avenue depot, where the District of West Vancouver keeps its Blue Bus fleet, could be expanded to house the 200

buses required to service the North Shore, plus employee parking, if the parking is in a multi-level garage. “I would like to see a more vigorous look at the issue of going after that West
Vancouver site and sharing it with West Vancouver,” Bell said. Bell noted the irony of the District of West Vancouver keeping its Blue Bus depot within the District of North Vancouver while the buses that serve North Vancouver will be moved off the North Shore. Rather than accepting the conundrum as the fault of the municipalities, Coun. Craig Keating noted that it was time for North Vancouver’s two Liberal MLAs, NaomiYamamoto and Jane Thornthwaite, to come explain what they are doing to stand up for their constituents —“to see how our needs are not being met,” he said.
“Both North Vancouvers and West Vancouver need to have this facility on the North Shore. “It’s not our responsibility.The province owns 100 per cent of TransLink, controls 100 per cent of TransLink and so they’re the ones that need to come up with an answer to the question.” Mayor Darrell Mussatto agreed. “The unelected, unaccountable, appointed (TransLink) board — that’s who made the decision. I’ve always been opposed to it. It’s wrong.We should be keeping the buses here on the North Shore and I’m hoping we can find a spot for it.”

Just 147 years later, Canadians still celebrate the statutory holiday with the same muster.

Cabinet minister Virk on thin ice From page 7 ever so helpfully lists the dozen or so provincial pieces of legislation that come into play with this project. I can picture provincial bureaucrats eagerly awaiting the chance to nix a permit for Enbridge because, say, an archeological site may be disturbed by a construction crew. No, for all kinds of reasons — 209 conditions, First Nations opposition, the B.C. government’s opposition — it’s more than likely the Northern Gateway pipeline will never be built. There’s no sense trying to convince the environmental movement of that though. It’s going to be too busy using what could end up being a phantom project to raise a lot of money. •••
When Premier Christy Clark gets around to the first shuffle of her postelection cabinet, I suspect the person leading the short list for being dumped will be Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk. After denying any wrongdoing, an investigation found he broke the rules for disclosing public sector compensation while on the board of Kwantlen Polytechnic University (before he was elected). I would think there are at least a few B.C. Liberal backbenchers who may think themselves more worthy of a cabinet post than Virk, and I have to wonder whether the premier might come to that conclusion as well.

Professor wants Rescues statue returned tie up From page 3 really considers this issue to be an internal issue between a faculty member, Capilano University and the CFA and we committed to resolving this issue through a grievance procedure because a grievance procedure is the appropriate mechanism provided by the collective agreement,” said Borjana Slipicevic, university spokeswoman. But there is no reason the university can’t do both, according to the CFA’s president-elect. “There’s really no connection between the two of them and I would hope the university would realize that,” said Brent Calvert. Meanwhile, Rammell said he simply wants the statue back, undamaged, as he plans to continue working on it. Under his collective agreement, Rammell is allowed to continue working on professional development projects on campus until July 31. Rammell said he welcomes the investigation in hopes that it will shine light on the way the university now operates. “I have an enormous amount of respect for that organization and I think the university should co-operate for the sake of transparency,” Rammell said. “If they’re not willing to co-operate with them, who the hell are they willing to co-operate with other than themselves?” While he remains angry over the statue’s seizure, Rammell said he takes some solace that Blathering on in Krisendom has received more attention now than it ever would have if the administration had simply let him keep it. “This whole issue has provided an international platform for the issues at Cap and it’s provided a venue for us to share in the illegalities that have gone on in this administration,” he said. “My goal with that artwork right from the word ‘go’ was to get people talking. I didn’t think people were talking enough.”
Nominees push change From page 3 opportunity to influence the country for the better.” Goldsmith-Jones attended the Liberal Party convention in Montreal earlier this year to test the waters and later met with Liberal leader Justin Trudeau during a visit to Vancouver before deciding to run. While she is proud of her record of being non-partisan in municipal politics, Goldsmith-Jones said she has roots in the Liberal party dating back to her high school years. “My dad drove off the road when I had a Liberal sign on the front lawn of our house because he was a Conservative,” GoldsmithJones said with a laugh. Wilkinson, meanwhile, is entering politics for the first time as a Rhodes scholar with masters’ degrees in international relations, politics and economics and a career in constitutional and federal-provincial relations, before spending the last 20 years in the private sector, mainly in clean technology firms. “I’ve just become fairly disillusioned with the current government. I think we really do need a change. I think this government is very dissonant with the way in which we’ve done politics in Canada, not just policy-wise but the tone of politics and the way we think about the political process,” he said “If you’re a critic and you want to do something about it, you have to get involved.” Wilkinson said he plans on running on a message that Canada doesn’t have to choose between having a strong economy and a clean environment. “How do you marry economic development and environmental issues? I think that’s quite topical in B.C. given a lot of the resource development discussion going on.”

of its five pump-and-ladder trucks, its only rescue unit, a duty chief and 12 of its 27 firefighters for each call. Even when not needed, the call can take longer than three hours. “We respond based on the assumption that we’ll have to execute a rescue of some sort,” Kennedy said. “We’ve seen people who are in cardiac arrest, then there are people who are just wearing sandals or high heels, or they’re winded.” Grouse Mountain Resort emergency services also responds to incidents on the Grind, including 15 incidents in 2013. David Stuart, North Vancouver district’s chief administrative officer, has called on Grouse Mountain Resort to help pay for “some kind of ranger service” to assess emergencies on the Grind. “We’re tying up half our fire department for calls that, in our view, are for an assessment of medical issues.” The fire department should only be called in an emergency, according to Stuart. Bob Cavill, watershed manager with Metro Vancouver, said he recognizes there is a problem when it comes to emergencies on the Grind. “We are talking with the municipality and we recognize the problem. We are seeing if there are solutions. And we are talking with Grouse Mountain and exploring other models that might work more effectively than the one we have.” The president of Grouse Mountain Resort is Stuart McLaughlin. He and his two sisters own the

Grouse Mountain spokeswoman Jacqueline Blackwell said the resort does not charge people to hike the Grouse Grind and noted “the mountaintop can be accessed in a number of ways.” Blackwell also defended the decision to charge for parking at the bottom of the Grind, which is becoming more popular every year. “Grouse
Mountain developed a plan to upgrade our parking facilities as a response to customer feedback,” she said. “We resurfaced the parking area, installed lighting and now provide additional security and service patrols.” Grinders such as Kinar understand that Grouse is a business. But because Grouse does lease some land from Metro, Kinar, a past board member of the Brain Injury Association
of Canada and a safety advocate, thinks Metro should play hardball when the lease comes up for renewal in three years, or if Grouse seeks to expand. “It’s Grouse’s tram,” said Kinar. “It’s their parking lot. But there are consequences when you look at the overall picture. “For a family of four, that’s more than $40 to take a trail that you own as a Metro Vancouver taxpayer.”

Portland’sVagabond Opera invokes old world steampunk ethos
Bohemian rhapsody ■ Vagabond Opera, Friday, June 27, 7:30 p.m. (doors at 7 p.m.) at West Vancouver Memorial Library. 1950 Marine Dr. Free. Presented by North Shore Jazz in partnership with TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival. CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com
Vagabond Opera cannot be bound by genre. The six-piece ensemble based out of Portland, Ore. boasts an eclectic repertoire influenced by Bohemian cabaret, neo-classical opera,Yiddish theatre, vintage Americana and the list goes on. “For the most part, when people hear us, we invoke a sort of old Eastern European world,” says founder and artistic director Eric Stern, who provides vocals, piano and accordion. “But at the same time, the voice is central to the project.”
SMALL STAGE POINT 5 _=j8 !O
●
Musically trained in Europe and the U.S., Stern sang classical opera for many years and has appeared in more than 30 operas. But he found that traditional operatic productions “can be a little bit unwieldy” when you factor in the cast, crew, chorus, orchestra and elaborate set. With Vagabond Opera, Stern sought to reinvent the genre and distill what he felt were its best elements — the voice, the narrative and the striking visuals. “I always felt that it makes sense to create an unabashed spectacle rather than be selfdeprecating or staring at your shoes or anything like that,” he says. With four full-length albums to their credit, the group’s lineup features operatic tenor and soprano vocals, accordion, tenor and alto saxophones, cello, stand-up bass and drums. All members are fluent in a wide range of musical styles, from classical to jazz to international

music, and the vocalists sing in 13 different languages. “The standard is very high in our rehearsal and our performance — as high as you would find in (the opera) world — but at the same time there’s not the elitism . . . there’s not the sort of unwieldiness of the production,” Stern says. “It’s faster and dirtier.” Flaunting a fashion sense as eclectic as their sound, the stage-ready members of Vagabond Opera are a sight to behold.Think waxed moustaches, waistcoats, suspenders and porkpie hats — old-world style with a steampunk edge. And their live shows often incorporate a theatrical element, creating an almost circus-like experience for the audience. “It comes organically,” Stern says of the dramatics. “I think it’s just who we are.”

and “it didn’t hurt that there’s a little bit of pay involved,” she says laughing. Despite touring across North America and into Europe with her band, Lo has been afflicted with stage fright, sometimes getting physically sick at the thought of wearing the spotlight. “Saying yes was the biggest change because once you say yes you can’t really go back,” she explains of the show at The Emerald. “No challenge that is going to make you grow as a person is an easy thing, and it’s definitely something that strikes a little fear.”
Lo has spent years learning to harness fear and nervous energy into stage energy, often by taking time to herself to go through lengthy, calming rituals before a show. “I’ve learned to be less afraid of it even though it still happens sometimes,” she explains. The evening at The Emerald features five musicians paired with five dancers and includes a classically trained ballet dancer, an electronic/ambient music project, and a burlesque queen. “It’s a really unique event in a unique setting,” Lo says. “Anywho, you just get to see artists step out of their usual boxes. Also the food’s good.”

Gunnlaugs brings folk tunes into mix From page 21 Bobo Stenson and Bill Evans, she’s chosen the trio set-up of piano, bass and drums as a main vehicle of expression. Regularly performing with Þorgrímur Jónsson on double bass and (her husband) Scott McLemore on drums, Gunnlaugs keeps everything wide open. Born in Iceland and schooled in Big Apple nightclubs she incorporates both European and American styles into her style. She uses her new album Distilled as a starting off point for explorations into a jazz vernacular that features other elements such as traditional Icelandic folk melodies as part of the mix.The set includes mainly original tunes from all three members plus a new take on Paul Motian’s “FromTimeTo Time.” Gunnlaugs talked to the North Shore News as she was heading out on her current North American tour which includes a date Sunday, June 29 at
the Roundhouse in David Lam Park as part of this year’sTDVancouver International Jazz Festival. For more information visit sunnagunnlaugs.com.
In the mood for jazz: Iceland’s Sunna Gunnlaugs performs with her trio at the Roundhouse on Sunday North Shore News: How did you get into jazz? Sunna Gunnlaugs:There wasn’t a lot of jazz around when I was growing up. I heard a little bit onTV, like at the end of a program, they’d play a jazz theme and it just seemed to appeal to me. I studied music and when I got into my teens I was kind of lost as to what I wanted to do musically but I was always curious about jazz so I started looking for it.
North Shore News: Where did you look? Sunna Gunnlaugs: At the time there was one school that offered jazz studies in Iceland so at 18 I got into that school and started studying jazz piano and I just completely loved it. It was the greatest discovery. North Shore News: Who were some of your influences early on? Sunna Gunnlaugs: I would say Bill Evans. I think the first jazz record that I ever got was a Bill Evans album called You’re Going to Hear From Me. It was a gift from my brother. I was sick. I had to stay home for like a week or something. I had the flu so I put that record on and just played it again and again and again. I really fell in love with Bill Evans. I listened to Oscar Peterson. I think I had the NightTrain album. (A Canadian player) A Canadian, right. Not that I ever tried to imitate him. I loved the joy in his playing that’s what I get from him. Playing with joy and being sincere in your music. I got

into Keith Jarrett, especially the European bands. I really loved those albums, especially Belonging and Personal Mountains. And Wynton Kelly and Kenny Barron were favourites for a long time and then Bobo Stenson, the Swedish pianist. North Shore News: That was a big move going from Iceland to study in America — what was that like? Sunna Gunnlaugs: Yea, that was huge. It was a big shock really — I don’t think I even realized it at the time — not just to come to the States but I was in an area that was not in the city. The school I was going to, William Patterson, was in Wayne, New Jersey, and I was surprised at how difficult it was to get around because the busses stopped running at seven. I walked everywhere and there were no sidewalks. It was a cultural shock. but a great experience musically. coming to a school with a protective environment where there was really nothing else to do but just practice and play sessions.That was great — and the proximity to NewYork was awesome. I eventually figured out I could walk to Patterson and take the bus into NewYork and go hear Kenny Barron play at Bradley’s.That’s one of my favourite clubs. It was amazing. Going to the Vanguard and seeing all these great players play close up. North Shore News: When you came to the U.S. did you speak English? Sunna Gunnlaugs: Yes we studied English in school. I had a pretty thick accent when I came to the States but I think I had a good vocabulary. North Shore News: Did you play your first shows in NewYork? Sunna Gunnlaugs: Probably in New Jersey in the area close to school. I had played a little bit in Iceland too. I played in pop bands and did a few jazz gigs but it would be with a singer or a horn player — it was really in New Jersey when I started playing as a leader, you know, leading a trio. North Shore News: Were you already writing music when you went to school? Sunna Gunnlaugs: I wrote a lot of music when I was a kid. I was fascinated by chords.They were pop-like melodies. I studied the organ

so I played them on the organ and the keyboard but I think when I got into jazz I really got preoccupied with studying the jazz language. I kind of stopped writing for awhile until I’d been at Patterson for maybe a year, or maybe in my second year, I started writing again. It was probably an assignment from a teacher, you know, ‘Everybody go home and write a tune,’ and then I just kind of got back into it and haven’t stopped since. North Shore News: Do you have any process you follow when you are writing music? Sunna Gunnlaugs: I try to listen. I just try to hear something and figure out what I’m hearing. I think some of the best tunes I write I write away from the instrument like when I was living in NewYork I would just hum something in my head and then when I got home I would figure out what it was on piano and write it out. Sometimes when I feel like we need a more energetic tune or an uptempo tune I try to put myself in the mood and just listen like it’s coming from somewhere. North Shore News: A couple of your recordings delve into Icelandic folk music.What’s your relationship to those melodies? Sunna Gunnlaugs: It’s just something that everybody in Iceland knows.We sing a lot as kids and in school there’s a lot of singing of these tunes and when people get together for a celebration like something similar to Labour Day we all start to sing.There’s a lot of singing in Iceland. For me it was kind of interesting to take those melodies and harmonize them and see what we could do with them, just use them as vehicles for improvisation really.
North Shore News: Did you perform the material much before you recorded the new album? Sunna Gunnlaugs: Some of them. Others were very new. The tune “Distilled” I don’t think we’d ever played live before we recorded it. But yea, we have an easy time playing together, the three of us — and the recording session went really smooth. I think we did it in one day and played like a gig. North Shore News: The album is a real work of art — something you can’t appreciate if you just listen to it digitally. Sunna Gunnlaugs: Thank you. A lot of people have commented on the packaging on how it kind of sets you up for what you are about to listen to. North Shore News: The last time you were at the Vancouver jazz fest you had an unusual mode of transportation. Sunna Gunnlaugs: In Vancouver we got a surprise. We were getting picked up at the hotel to take us to this gig and they picked us up in this boat.The bass hardly fit but it was a fun experience.We took a boat to PerformanceWorks. Funny thing Bobo Stenson actually played just before us and I’m such a fan of his. I thought that was very cool. I got to play the same piano Bobo Stenson was playing. North Shore News: What’s the festival experience like for you as a band. Do you get much of a chance to relax? Sunna Gunnlaugs: A lot of it is work.We usually just stop for one night and then we’re on to the next gig but it’s nice at a festival — you get to catch somebody else that’s on before you or after you. North Shore News: Touring you get to see a lot of the world. Do you have any favourite places to visit? Sunna Gunnlaugs: I think I just like going places in general. It’s really different touring North America and touring Europe but I like both. I like experiencing new things and new places.We always try to eat the local food wherever we go — that’s kind of a part of being there. The Germans are surprised when we say we want to go to a German restaurant and they go, ‘Really?’ I like seeing the world and meeting people. People are lovely everywhere.

Late addition to Polaris Long List flat out rocks Album of theWeek: Greg MacPherson — Fireball (Disintegration Records). Sneaking onto the Polaris Music Prize Long List at number 41 Greg MacPherson’s Fireball is a worthy addition. The top 40 vote-getters were announced by Polaris on June 19 but due to a glitch in a new web-based voting system that calculates jurors’ picks, Fireball received
fewer votes than it should have. Producer Cam Loeppky has given Fireball a live feel
and space for MacPherson to flat out rock. Fireball is MacPherson’s second consecutive release to make the Polaris Long List. Mr. Invitation, released in 2010 was long listed that year. This year’s Polaris Short List of 10 artists will be announced July 15 in Toronto and the winner will be revealed at a gala on Sept. 22. For more information visit polarismusicprize.ca.
Songs focus on the ‘average Joe’ From page 13
Vagabond Opera formed in 2002 during a time in Portland that Stern likens to the creative hotbed of 1930s Paris. “There was a community of like-minded artists, and I still feel like it’s that way here,” he says. As one of the group’s lyricists, Stern draws inspiration from many things, but he is quick to point out what he doesn’t
write and that is “I songs.” Listeners won’t hear anything in the vein of “My girlfriend broke up with me and I’m so sad . . .” Rather, Stern prefers to focus on the average Joe walking down the street or a historical character and re-imagine their respective worlds in song. “In some ways it’s very freeing to write about something, or someone, that’s not yourself.”
Through their diverse musical offerings and energetic showmanship, Vagabond Opera creates unique concert experiences and tonight’s performance at West Vancouver Memorial Library will be no exception. “People will laugh and really experience this occasion,” Stern says. “We’re really inviting the audience into this world that we’re creating.”

Something for everyone’s tastes this summer
JULIE CRAWFORD ContributingWriter
Big box or boutique?
Do your movie tastes run big box or boutique?You don’t have to stick to one type of film this summer; go see this season’s big-budget films (mentioned first in the paragraphs below) or opt for the accompanying smaller and independent alternatives. Sorry, but there doesn’t seem to be an indie tonic for giant transforming machines or apes that rule the earth: you’ll have to go big or go home that weekend. Are you in the mood for . . . . . . guys with an identity crisis? The two 30-somethings in Let’s Be Cops (New Girl’s Jake Johnson and DamonWayans Jr.) are going nowhere. But their status improves significantly after they dress up as police officers for a party.They milk the attention for all it’s worth but you know they’ll find meaning in all the mayhem.They’re not that different than the 60-year-olds in Land Ho! Ex brothers-in-law (Paul Eenhoorn and Earl Lynn Nelson) travel to Iceland in order to heal from a loss, to reclaim their youth via Reykjavik nightclubs, and to answer some of life’s big questions. . . . something tasty? The Hundred Foot Journey stars Helen Mirren as the owner of a Michelin-rated restaurant in the north of France who is horrified when an Indian restaurant sets up shop directly across the lane. Culture clashes turn into a tasty masala. On a smaller scale is Michael Winterbottom’s The Trip to Italy, a sequel of sorts to 2010’s hilarious The Trip, starring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon as two minor celebs reviewing restaurants across Italy.
. . . song and dance? Step Up:All In is dance-battling excess, LasVegas style. “Does it always have to end in a big dance battle?” one character jokingly asks.Yup. Alternately, check out Begin Again. Keira Knightly stars as a struggling musician stranded in NewYork City after a bad breakup who meets up with a has-been record exec (Mark Ruffalo). Knightly sings and plays guitar, both of which reportedly terrified her. Added bonus: Adam Levine in his acting debut. . . . kiddie fare? Planes: Fire and Rescue. Dusty Crophopper (voiced by Dane Cook) has to reinvent himself after some wing damage, but might have found his purpose as an aerial firefighter. Ed Harris, Regina King and Julie Bowen lend their voices. Or you could see The Boxtrolls, a stop-motion marvel from the makers of Coraline and Paranorman, about a boy raised by a race of trash-loving trolls. He must learn to be human if he wants to save his troll family from being annihilated by small-minded humans. . . . Susan Sarandon? Tammy (Melissa McCarthy) doesn’t know where her life is headed, so she knocks over a fast-food joint and hits the road, accompanied by her drunk Grandma, played by Susan Sarandon (though even with a bad wig, no one is buying Sarandon as McCarthy’s granny). More promising is The Calling, starring Sarandon as a police officer in Port Dundas, Ontario, who finds herself busy when a serial killer with “a higher calling” starts picking off the town’s inhabitants. Topher Grace and B.C. natives Gil Bellows and Christopher Heyerdahl also star. . . . horror? Last year’s The Purge was made on a scant $3 million

budget and earned just shy of $90 million. Pretty sure this one has a bigger budget: Michael Bay is a producer. No Ethan Hawke this time, but The Purge: Anarchy features the same director (James DeMonaco), same concept: in a near-future U.S. all crimes – including murder – are legal for a 12-hour period. Or you could see director Eli Roth’s The Green Inferno, in which a group of students heads to Peru hoping to save the rainforests. But after their plane crash lands and they’re captured by a primitive tribe, they just hope to stay off the menu. . . . romantic comedy? And So It Goes is a romantic comedy for babyboomers, starring Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton. An egocentric real estate agent (Douglas) suddenly finds himself caring for a granddaughter he never knew he had. He turns to neighbour Leah (Keaton) for help, instead finds something more. On a smaller (and younger) scale, The F-Word likewise starts off with two friends (Daniel Radcliffe and Zoe Kazan) who have great chemistry but bad timing. The duo must decide whether or not to sacrifice their platonic friendship by giving love a try. . . . mystery? The Signal, a sci-fi thriller. After trespassing with friends in the search for a legendary computer genius, Nic (Brenton Thwaites) finds himself in a waking nightmare, complete with men in hazmat suits (Laurence Fishburne). He must piece together the puzzle of what happened in order to escape and get his life back. Calvary is an altogether different kind of mystery. In the confessional, an unseen confessor tells Father James (Brendan Gleeson) that he will kill the priest in one week, retribution for boyhood abuse at the hands of another priest. Father James has a week to solve the mystery – everyone’s a suspect -- and save his life in this black comedy.

The Department of Canadian Heritage reminds us that July 1 is an opportunity to gather in our communities, from coast to coast to coast, and to proudly celebrate all we have in common. It is an opportunity to celebrate our achievements, which were born in the audacious vision and shared values of our ancestors, and which are voiced in nearly all of the languages of the world through the contribution of new Canadians. Canada Day is a time to celebrate the heritage passed down to us through the works of our authors, poets, artists and performers. It is a time to rejoice in the discoveries of our scientific researchers, in the success of our entrepreneurs, and to commemorate our history - a history in which each new chapter reveals itself to be more touching, more fascinating than the last. Canadians across the country and around the world show their pride in their history, culture and achievements. It’s been a day of celebration, where many festivities are held across the country, since 1868.
The Creation of Canada Day July 1, 1867: The British North America Act (today known as the Constitution Act, 1867) created Canada. June 20, 1868: Governor General Lord Monck signs a proclamation that requests all Her Majesty’s subjects across Canada to celebrate July 1. 1879: A federal law makes July 1 a statutory holiday as the “anniversary of Confederation,” which is later called “Dominion Day.” October 27, 1982: July 1, “Dominion Day” officially becomes Canada Day.
July 1, 1917: The 50th anniversary of Confederation. The Parliament buildings, under construction, are dedicated to the Fathers of Confederation and to the courage of Canadians who fought in Europe during the First World War. July 1, 1927: The 60th anniversary of Confederation. The Peace Tower Carillon is inaugurated. The Governor General at the time, Viscount Willingdon, lays the cornerstone of the Confederation Building on Wellington Street.
Lawyers
July 1, 1967: The 100th anniversary of Confederation. Parliament Hill is the backdrop for a high profile ceremony, which includes the participation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. From 1968 to 1979 (with the exception of 1976): A large multicultural celebration is presented on Parliament Hill. This concert is broadcast on television across the country. The main celebrations (called “Festival Canada”) are held in the National Capital Region throughout the month of July. These celebrations include many cultural, artistic and sport activities and involve the participation of various municipalities and volunteer associations. From 1980 to 1983: A new format is developed. In addition to the festivities on Parliament Hill, the national committee (the group tasked by the federal government to plan the festivities for Canada’s national holiday) starts to encourage and financially support the establishment of local celebrations across Canada. Start-up funding is provided to support popular activities and performances organized by volunteer groups in hundreds of communities. Interested organizations can make a request to the Celebrate Canada program. 1981: Fireworks light up the sky in 15 major Canadian cities, a tradition that continues today.
The Celebrations Begin
R ATCLIFF & C OMPANY
From 1958 to 1968: The government organizes celebrations for Canada’s national holiday every year. The Secretary of State of Canada is responsible for coordinating these activities. A typical format includes a flag ceremony in the afternoon on the lawns of Parliament Hill and a sunset ceremony in the evenings, followed by a concert of military music and fireworks.
1984: The National Capital Commission (NCC) is given the mandate to organize Canada Day festivities in the capital. 2010: Festivities on Parliament Hill receive a royal treatment when Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh join the festivities to celebrate Canada’s 143rd anniversary. 2011: Their Royal Highnesses Prince William and Catherine, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, participate in Canada Day festivities on Parliament Hill on the occasion of Canada’s 144th anniversary.

Did You Know? 2013: On Canada Day the inaugural Canada History Week was launched. The Week, that runs from July 1 – 7 each year, is an opportunity for all Canadians from coast to coast to coast to learn about the people and events that have shaped our great nation on the local and national level. Canada has a rich history, and our Government is proud to create opportunities for Canadians to learn about it. During Canada History Week, all Canadians are encouraged to visit a museum, tour one of our great national historic sites, or speak to a veteran, and learn what makes Canada the united, strong, and free country we live in today.
The name Canada was established from the Huron-Iroquois word for “village” or “settlement”. 40 percent of the border between Canada and the United States is composed of water Remembrance Day (November 11) was originally known as Armistice Day. It replaced Armistice Day throughout the Commonwealth in 1919. On November 21, 1921, red and white were designated Canada’s colours by King George V in the proclamation of the Royal Arms of Canada. More than one million Canadians served in the Second World War, whereas 620,000 Canadians served in the First World War.
2014: Canadians prepare to mark the 147th Canada Day. As we approach Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017, the government has given the Canadian Heritage the mandate to organize Canada Day festivities in the capital.
On May 12, 1994, the Parliament of Canada declared ice hockey and lacrosse as the national winter and summer sports of Canada.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to FASHION & STYLE
Artisan finds versatility in glass NorthVancouver studio produces jewelry, decor
CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com
The unpredictable nature of hot glass fascinates Paige Davis. Every time she opens the kiln in her North Vancouver studio to see how her latest batch of fused glass has turned out, the results surprise her. “It can change colour in the kiln, it can kind of warp into different shapes and forms,” she explains. Davis is the owner of Spirit Glass Design, a glass fusing business, and makes jewelry, dishes, wind chimes, candle holders and pretty much “anything that you could make out of glass that you could think of.” The studio also offers classes in glass fusing as well as stained glass and silversmithing. Davis’s specialty is fusing — a “warm technique,” she explains. It differs from stained glass, in which sheets of coloured glass are cut and grinded to shape at room temperature, and glass blowing, which requires the use of a hot furnace to manipulate the glass in its molten state. When making a fused piece, Davis first uses tools to cut room-temperature glass to size, then layers or overlaps different pieces and places the arrangement in a kiln where it heats up and fuses together. She also uses molds when trying to achieve a specific shape. Depending on the project, the kiln reaches a high of between 7,700 and 8,900 C.
“Glass, when you’re fusing it, you have to heat it and cool it at certain rates of time,” Davis explains. If the temperature changes too slowly or too quickly, the glass might crack or turn cloudy.Typically, Davis loads her kiln before leaving the studio at 5 p.m. and it’s ready to open around noon the next day. Most of her pieces require multiple firings with roomtemperature shaping work in between. For an added personal touch, many of the jewelry pieces feature an etched design or an enamel decal fused to the surface. “The two different processes kind of give two different looks. One’s deeper in the glass whereas one’s on top and creates more of a 3-D effect.” Davis works mainly with dichroic glass which has an iridescent quality and comes in a multitude of colours. This glossy material is what first attracted Davis to glass fusing five years ago when she saw her father, who taught her the craft and now works with her in the studio, using the medium. “It’s just really sparkly and it kind of caught my eye when he was fusing with that,” she recalls. “Once I tried it I was hooked.” Many people she meets are surprised at how versatile glass can be. “People just don’t necessarily realize all the fun things you can make from glass,” she says. “So many people have heard of silversmithing and it’s been in practice for so many

The charity of the Miss BC Pageant is the Cops for Cancer Tour of the Canadian Cancer Society. Leading up to the final pageant, Halata and the other entrants received training in areas such as public speaking, interview skills, media relations, modelling, manners, etiquette, leadership, selfesteem, health, fitness, nutrition, assertiveness, motivational speaking and self-defense. In a press release from Miss BC, creator and producer Darren Storsley states that the program is not a beauty pageant. “It will be a wellrounded, intelligent, outgoing and well-spoken young lady who will win the crown, not necessarily the most beautiful girl,” he says.

JOY hair studio is the first salon created for a purely philanthropic intent.
✂
“JOY was opened last year with a generous grant from the Pacific Bi-Polar Foundation with the intent to donate profits from all hair services to those living with and affected by mental illness” says the salon’s new owner Tara Main.“Our mission is to give back as much as we can to the foundation, as well as many other charities and fundraising initiatives.” Born and raised on the North
Shore, Tara has been styling hair locally for almost 20 years. Her passion for excellence has led to her creating apprenticeship programs and educating stylists across Canada in hair cutting, colouring and smoothing treatment services. Her entrepreneurial spirit launched the start-up of “In The Black”, a consulting company focused on the salon and spa business, and her current role on the Board of Directors for the Beauty Council Western Canada has her advocating for elevating the industry standards. Her latest endeavour is the acquisition of JOY,“a truly socially conscious business”. The JOY team is extremely globally focussed, choosing to sell all locally manufactured and/or natural products and to be a Green Circle Salon, making it possible to recycle almost 100% of the salon waste.
The hair gathered is sent to Maple Ridge, and constructed into “hair booms” used to clean up oil spills. “JOY is the salon in which you can leave feeling as great as you look, knowing you are assisting in our efforts to make the world a happier and healthier place” says Main. Starting on July 22, JOY will be hosting JOYful Tuesdays, a bi-monthly morning of care for those fighting cancer. Cancer patients are invited to attend and enjoy treats, guest speakers, wig fittings and complimentary scalp treatments and massages. Be sure to visit www.joyhairstudio.com and Facebook for events and information. Sign up for their newsletter to receive details about the salon, the team and upcoming events.

Spice Islands trade in natural wonders Paradise built on exposed tips of ocean volcanoes MIKE GRENBY ContributingWriter
JELLYFISH LAKE, Palau —When several million stingless golden jellyfish invite you to swim and snorkel with them — an invitation you will receive nowhere else in the world — it would be rather rude to refuse. So a group of us don snorkels, masks and fins, and slip into the 28-degree water of Jellyfish Lake. What an amazing and unique experience to see and brush by clouds of these delicate, graceful creatures which have evolved in their landlocked lake over 20,000 years to have no need of poisonous stingers. They range in size from as big as a large fist to as small as the tip of your little finger. And their population in the relatively small lake does indeed run between five and seven million. What a start to this cruise on Lindblad Expeditions’ National Geographic Orion. We are off to explore mostly uninhabited islands in and around Indonesia’s fabled Spice Islands — although one of the inhabited ones gained a spot in history because of its nutmeg tree — and getting traded for Manhattan. And what a cruise: hiking, birding and cultural encounters ashore, snorkelling and diving in the surrounding seas with some of the world’s richest underwater flora and fauna, and all supported by knowledgeable lecturers, guides — and on this trip only, one of National Geographic’s most famous photographers. With only 102 passengers, the ship offers the cruise equivalent of glamping: top-level accommodation and dining on board plus, as expedition leaderTim Soper puts it, “shifting into true expedition mode once we leave the ship in our Zodiacs.” But don’t take my word for it. Come along with me as we cruise from Palau to Australia and decide for yourself. Major airlines serve

(Check Circle Pacific fares fromVancouver which are often cheaper than return flights and allow you a more varied itinerary.) DAY ONE: There’s nothing like visiting a country to bring its history to life. For example, dot-on-the-map Palau was first colonized by Spanish explorers. Spain then sold these Micronesian islands to Germany, which lost them to Japan after losing the FirstWorldWar — which in turn lost them to the U.S. after losing the SecondWorldWar. Yet all four countries contributed — and especially in the case of the U.S. continue to contribute — to Palau’s development and even culture. Although Palau has been an independent republic since 1994, it continues to use the U.S. dollar as its currency. Most tourists come from both the U.S. and Japan. It’s your typical tropical, relaxed, dreamlike paradise — palm tree beaches, air and

ocean temperatures around 28 degrees day and night almost all year, turquoise lagoons, snorkelling and diving. DAYTWO: After our jellyfish encounter on Mecherar Island, local boat operators take us around mushroom-shaped karst limestone islands, large and small, where tidal and microorganism erosion have worn away the rocky undersides. In the afternoon we launch the kayaks to paddle peacefully among the islands to get a closer look at the “mushroom” undersides and
vegetation, finishing the day with a snorkel over the corals. DAYTHREE: During our day at sea, we meet some of our guide-lecturers, including David Doubilet who has specialized in underwater photography for the National Geographic for 43 years. Throughout the cruise naturalists, cultural/historical specialists and photographers provide fascinating insights to enrich what we are seeing, doing and learning. In one of the lectures we learn improved ecological management has increased the number of fish species
DAY FOUR: Raja Ampat, Indonesia, comprises 1,500 small islands, cays and shoals. We anchor nearWayag Island — so far off the beaten track that immigration officials have to travel five hours by boat to reach us to clear the ship. At 10 kilometres north of the equator, the air and ocean temperature stay between 27 and 30 day and night. Divers do day and night dives, others snorkel off a deserted white sand beach into a variety of colourful corals, multi-coloured tropical fish and giant clams. Those who prefer to stay dry peer into the undersea wonderland from a glassbottom boat. “There are more species of beautiful reef fish and gorgeous corals here in the CoralTriangle than in any other part of the world,” says David Cothran, photo instructor. In the afternoon, the Zodiacs finish exploring, round a corner of the island and find sunset cocktails and nibblies being served on the beach, ahead of a seafood
barbecue dinner back on deck featuring 80 different delicacies prepared by executive chef Lothar Reiner and his kitchen crew. DAYS FIVE and SIX: We snorkel from a platform anchored between two Zodiacs and many snorkellers declare, “this is the best snorkel site yet.” We see schools ofThread Fin Anthias and other fish, large and tiny, some swimming in an orderly flow, others all over the place — normal or bright neon colours, stripes, spots; groups of tiny fish nibbling coral, feeding within the waving polyps, all varieties and shapes.The fish are matched only by the varieties, designs and colours of underwater flora: the corals, sponges, sea whips and many more. Tiny jellyfish are so translucent a camera’s autofocus doesn’t respond to them. A sharp-eyed diver spots a pygmy seahorse the size of a grain of rice. Over there, peeping out of a coral, is Nemo (a clownfish, aka sub anemone fish, aka sub damsel fish). Giant schools See Region page 34

of barracuda swim by. It’s fun to just float, head down, in one spot, to watch fish emerge from under rocks and rock crevices, to see fish being “cleaned” — having parasites removed — by smaller, “cleaner” fish. Dappled sunlight and shadows mark the coral wall which falls away into deep water changing from light to dark blue. During an afternoon Zodiac exploration, schools of hundreds of tiny silver or blue fish speed jump out of the water for a fraction of a second, almost like a cloud of large insects. A variety of colourful tropical fish, and even a small grey reef shark, swim around the coral just centimetres below the surface. High above us an osprey swoops at a young sea eagle, which does a mid-air flip at the last minute to try to escape. Just above the waterline, our guide naturalist Richard White spots a carnivorous green pitcher plant, about 10 centimetres long and indeed shaped like an elongated pitcher. In a neighbouring Zodiac, Palau-based guide and biologist/cultural specialist Ron Leidich finds an even larger specimen: close to 15 cm. “Because nutrients are scarce, this plant has adapted by attracting and then digesting insects,” White says. “A sweet liquid in the bottom of the pitcher attracts the insects and the slippery sides prevent them from getting back out.The pitcher even has a lid, which closes
when it rains to prevent the liquid from getting diluted.” A larger relative of the pitcher plant, able to “eat” mice and even small rats, once won “plant of the year” at the famous Chelsea Flower Show in London. We are delighted to see so many natural wonders up close, to have the good fortune to be in such a remote area and have the place to ourselves to explore. DAYS SIX to NINE: “For more than three centuries, Banda Neira (which usually doesn’t even show up on a map) was the centre of major contention between the native people and the Portuguese, Dutch and English,” naturalist Tom Ritchie briefs us. “Thousands of people were murdered, killed in military actions and enslaved over the possession and harvest of a small endemic species of tree found only here in Banda — the nutmeg. Along with the mace wrapping around the nut, it was perhaps once the most valuable spice in the world, prized for its ability to preserve and cure food, especially meat, in the days when there was no refrigeration or canning.” We go ashore on several islands to meet the locals in Yenwaupnor, Kokas, Banda Neira and Banda Run villages (Run was traded by the Dutch to the British for Manhattan in 1667). They put on welcoming and farewell cultural dances. Children get time off school to show us around. We walk along the streets with cats, dogs, chickens and
goats, see colourful colonial architecture, sample the local spices, visit Dutch and Japanese fortification ruins, hike into the hills where our guide kicks off his flip-flops to climb a tree to cut down some coconuts to refresh us. We feel privileged to briefly share even a tiny bit of the lives of local inhabitants. DAY 10: Once again we are swimming off uninhabited beaches.We have another “best snorkelling day yet” between two of the five tiny atolls of the Lucipara Islands, in the middle of the Banda Sea — the tops of undersea mountains rising almost 2 kilometres from the seabed. I go snorkelling and just hang off the shelf in the slight current where the coral drops off to the very deep ocean floor, watching the fish — and three turtles (or the same turtle three different times) — swim by. I am often surrounded by clouds — thousands — of orange (Anthia) and also blue fish (Fusilier) smaller than my baby finger. DAYS 11 to 13: One more day of deserted island beachcombing, snorkelling and diving, one more day at sea and we end our trip in Darwin — reflecting on how lucky we have been to get up close and personal with such remote and magical islands and their inhabitants both above and below the water. — Long-time News personal finance columnist and travel writer Mike Grenby teaches journalism at Bond University on Australia’s Gold Coast.

Book review
Artists take us through the creative process ■ Creative Block by Danielle Krysa, Chronicle Books, 288 pages, $34.95. For every creative mind there can be a dark creature lurking in the shadows ready to try to block their artistic expression.The flow of ideas, or creation of art is a unique process for each individual but there are lessons we can received from others that go beyond learning techniques. Danielle Krysa has interviewed 50 different artists to get their insight on the creative process.They work in a wide variety of mediums and examples of their art appears alongside their comments. Unique approaches to illustration like Justin Richel’s impossibly balanced stacks don’t always work out as he plans but when he struggles with a piece he has learned to work through the problem. As a means to get past a creative block he offers the suggestion of cutting up a piece of
paper into small pieces and drawing something on each piece. He then elaborates on the pieces that catch his interest until he’s worked through them all. The artists replies to Krysa’s questions offers us insight into how they work, who influences them, how they overcome criticism and what motivates them. Each one gives a different process presented as a creative unblock project. These ideas are as varied as their artwork but all offer a means to pull back whatever might be impeding your own creative expression. — Terry Peters

Stop to help ducks on road ends in tragedy BRENDAN MCALEER ContributingWriter
A biweekly roundup of automotive news, good, bad and just plain weird:
somewhat reminiscent of an Aston Martin. However, I wouldn’t count on anyone being fooled into thinking this scrappy little hatchback was blue-blood royalty. No indeed — the SE model designation means this particular flavour of Fiesta comes with 15-inch steel wheels and hubcaps, and its diminutive shape is pure economy car. However, I think we can allow that it’s a handsome little car, with clean lines and a well-
Montreal woman convicted of criminal negligence after stopping car to save ducklings Now here’s a news item that’s splitting the country right down the middle. In 2010, Emma Czornobaj was driving on a highway south of Montreal when she saw a gaggle of ducklings on the narrowing road shoulder. Realizing the precarious position the animals were in, so close to traffic, she stopped her car. It all went wrong from there. Firstly, Czornobaj stopped her car in the lefthand lane, and she didn’t put her hazards on, simply leaving the car running while she hurried over to shoo the ducks along. It was a moment’s thoughtlessness, but it had a devastating effect — a motorcyclist approaching at speed saw the woman on the side of the road and reportedly gestured to indicate how unsafe it was

2014 Ford Fiesta Ecoboost
Ford pulls triple play
Three legs might be appropriate for a stool, or a camera tripod, or a Martian war machine, but you wouldn’t go out of your way to buy a threelegged horse. Such a thing would be inherently imbalanced, and it’d be hard to get much use out of it. Doubly so if it were really tiny. And yet here’s the Ford Motor Company with the audacity to charge you $1,295 extra for the privilege of hopping around on three cylinders.That’s right

Grinding Gears
— pick up a base 1.6-litre Fiesta and one of the options is to lop off a cylinder, swap
on a turbo, and call it a performance grade in both economy and acceleration. Not so fast Blue Oval, we’re going to have to take a little closer look at the claims for your turbocharged trio. Sure, the Fiesta is a pretty good little car as it is, but does one less leg make it better, or do we need to take a little trip out behind the barn?

formed silhouette. The grille, the hood, the headlights and the taillights are all updated for the 2014 model year for all Fiestas. Overall, it’s an improvement, giving this small car a substantial look. The single wart is an optional extra: Ford’s numeric keypad.While a useful alternative to always having to have a key in your pocket, this tacked-on extra looks a bit, well, tacked-on. Considering Ford’ll charge you $125 for the privilege, I’d be inclined to leave that one off the list.
Environment It’s small on the outside, and the Fiesta is reasonably snug on the inside too. However, you’d not call it an econobox.The plastics are molded in a pleasing pattern, and the fabric covering the seats looks like it should be durable. Space in the back is tight, as you’d expect for a subcompact, but the Fiesta is larger than others in its class, and a workable four-seater (add in a fifth passenger and you might as well all enrol in clown college).The trunk is a useful 422 litres, and you can of course fold all the seats down to carry larger items. If this is of interest to any parents out there, I found that the Fiesta swallowed a Little Tykes Cozy Coupe without issue. Up front, the Fiesta has a fairly basic control layout, with buttons and digital readouts that would put you in mind of an early 2000s flip phone. It’s not the most stylish execution in the world, and compared to the colour screens available as an option on higher-trim Fiestas, it’s fairly basic in operation.The single central joystick just feels a bit flimsy, and the screen readout is of a size that you should really only navigate when pulled over. However, the audio works just fine once you’ve got it all set up, and there are plenty of power outlets and storage cubbies. As an optional extra, this Fiesta

the three-cylinder’s fat torque band means you’ll be dispatching stop and go with ease. It’s comfortable and quiet, but rev up that little engine and there’s a surprisingly sonorous growl. On the highway, the Fiesta’s small car roots start showing — it’s perfectly acceptable in terms of wind noise and ride quality, but that lightweight feel does impart a slight nervousness to the handling as speeds rise if there’s much in the way of crosswinds. However, as a long-distance commuter, the extra low-end spool of the turbo means you need not downshift for hills, as lower-torque fourcylinders might demand. Features The starting price for the Ecoboost Fiesta is $16,675. Being set up as a fuel miser, the Fiesta is only accidentally a hoot to drive; while there are a few options available, it’s mostly targeted at a market segment that’s watching their bottom line, so there’s not much in the way of luxuries. The $500 comfort package gives heated seats up front and automatic climate control, and along with a full power group for the windows and door locks, means that all the essentials See Tiny page 47

actually quite impressive. Moreover, it’s nearly a third more torque than the standard 1.6-litre engine and most of that’s available at very low r.p.m. Getting off the very light clutch, the Fiesta’s little three-pot engine grumbles at first, and then immediately surges into boost with a strong pull. It’s only offered with a five-speed manual transmission, one with gear-spacing set up for maximizing highway fuel economy rather than the slick-shifting close ratio box you get in its sportier cousin, the ST. Still, it’s quite good fun to keep the turbo-three on the boil, and the low-end response makes the Fiesta easily capable of keeping up with traffic, handling onramps, and dispatching hills with ease. All Fiestas are pretty good to drive, and despite not having a sport-tuned suspension or lightweight alloy wheels, the Ecoboost version is actually quite good fun. Down here at the entry level end of the market, most of the vehicles have a certain charm in the challenge it usually is to drive them hard enough to stay out of everyone’s way, but the Fiesta actually feels substantial, like a quoteunquote real car. Around town, it’s a nimble little thing, and

are covered.The audio system has USB connectivity and Bluetooth streaming audio as standard, and the headlights are automatic. So, everything you need, and then there’s that fuel economy. At official ratings of 6.2 litres/100 kilometres in the city and 4.2 l/100 km on the highway, it represents an improvement of nearly one litre per 100 kilometres over the 1.6-litre engine that’s standard. Better gas economy and more available torque? Sounds like a winwin. Still, assuming you put 20,000 km a year on your car, that’s only a savings of approximately $300 a year at our current $1.50/litre pricing versus shelling out $1,295 for the optional Ecoboost.Worse, the manual-only option might limit this car to the highway warrior, rather than the urban commuter who wants an automatic to deal with traffic.

Competitors Mini Cooper ($20,990) Normally seen as an upscale brand, the new Mini Cooper nonetheless also has a three-cylinder turbocharged engine crammed under its tiny hood. Keep the options list light, and it’s not really that much more expensive than the Ford, with an even peppier 134 h.p. 1.5-litre turbo-three. Neat stuff, and it’s a bit more stylish than the diminutive Ford, for a bit more money. Fuel economy is good too, although trying to keep the price down won’t net you much in the way of features.
Nissan Micra ($9,998) Any small car discussion has to include Nissan’s Micra, which has moved the small-car market goalposts by introducing a smart little hatchback at a bargainbasement price. It’s a great little car, and while its 109 h.p. engine can’t match the zip or the fuel-economy of Ford’s boosted Fiesta, it’s still just so inexpensive and simple, you have to cross-shop it. mcaleer.nsnews@gmail.com

for her to be on the shoulder. By the time he turned back, he was too close to Czornobaj’s parked car to stop.The resulting crash killed both the motorcyclist
and his daughter, who was riding pillion. After a lengthy trial, the court found Czornobaj guilty of two counts of criminal negligence causing death, and two counts of dangerous driving.
Sentencing has yet to go through, although defence lawyers are hoping the obvious lack of criminal intent will be taken into account. The lesson here is twofold — obviously don’t stop
for ducks in the middle of a highway, but more than that, remember that if your car stalls or breaks down in traffic, you need to be visible to your fellow motorists. Always carry reflective cones or similar safety items.

The second lesson is to always expect the unexpected. It might not be a car parked in the road, but you never know whether there’s some obstacle around the next bend, be it a deer, or fallen tree or — this is Canada after all — a bear. Keep your eyes up, and be ready. F1 tries to recapture the spark of excitement And now for something completely stupid in another way.With audience excitement at a low thanks to Formula One’s changeover to the less audibly thrilling V-6 turbo engines, attempts are being made to get back some spectacle to the pinnacle
of motorsport. In the 1980s, sparks used to fly out of the back of the low-slung racecars as they scraped over the bumps in the track, so both Mercedes and Ferrari are fitting titanium skid plates to recreate the effect.The hope is for cars to trail huge clouds of sparks behind them through the corners, thus suitably thrilling the crowds.What nonsense. You might as well strap a T-shirt cannon onto Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes, bolt a confetti dispenser to Fernando Alonso’s Ferrari and call it a day — the idea that a fake effect needs to be introduced into what’s See McQueen page 50

The Bonneville once ruled the road ■ The Triumph Bonneville Bible, by Peter Henshaw, Veloce Publishing, 160 pages, $59.99.
The Triumph Bonneville is a motorcycle icon. There was a time when it brought all the elements that make a bike desirable together. It was powerful, fast, beautifully styled with lots of chrome and it sounded great. In the view of many collectors, a 1969 Bonneville was the pinnacle of British motorcycling. A motorcycle so noteworthy came out of a
long process of development. The Speed Twin was a revolutionary model that led to the Thunderbird, which then paved the way for the Bonneville. In 1959, with little fanfare, the T120 Bonneville rolled into showrooms on both sides of the Atlantic. Henshaw chronicles the rise of this popular model, noting its successes both in sales and in performance as it become a huge seller throughout the 1960s. But it didn’t stay on top and the increasingly better See Fifty page 49

harvest the energy from spent exhaust gasses in their Le Mans car. Part of the recent F1 success for Mercedes can be attributed to the unique way in which they’ve split the turbocharger apart into air-compressor and exhaust turbine, aiding in controlling heat. Now, the technology is due to come to the street, possibly in the new Audi Q7 diesel. Dubbing their tech e-boost, Audi has already used an electrically powered supercharger in concept form to help eliminate turbo lag. The handy thing about dividing the turbocharger into electrical collector and battery powered air pump isn’t just packaging, but an improved responsiveness: the power is there on-demand when you need it for passing. With the proliferation of turbocharging in everything from the tiny Fiesta to highperformance Ferraris, the e-turbo could help make our future even more boosted. McQueen’s Porsche 917 heads to auction block This is gonna be a pricey one. Considering that the Porsche 911 street car that Steve McQueen drove at the beginning of the classic film Le Mans fetched more than twice its ordinary value because of its association with the actor, this legitimate 1960s racecar is going to cost the moon. The Porsche 917 isn’t really the sort of thing you can drive around on the street either. It’s immensely overpowered, incredibly tricky to drive, and tremendously expensive. Aside from extremely rare early models, this might be one of the most costly Porsches ever. However, it’s the iconic Gulf Livery that’s most interesting here. Now appropriated by Aston Martin, it’d be great to see the colours come back on something affordable like a Cayman or Boxster. Porsche offers Martini racing livery as a dealer accessory on their 911 — only in the United States — and it would be great if classic racing colours could be seen on the street, in tribute.
