t wasn’t an oversized lizard keeping residents of the Champlain Heights and River District neighbourhoods awake at night during the last two weeks. Instead a film crew shooting a low-flying helicopter at night for the movie Godzilla had East Fraserlands residents calling the city’s 311 line and 911 to complain. Champlain Heights resident Denis Laplante wants to know why the City of Vancouver and Transport Canada approved permits to allow the film company to carry out late night, low-level flights in a residential neighbourhood.
Laplante contacted the Courier after receiving what he thought was an unsatisfactory response from Transport Canada. “When I complained to Transport Canada they said I’d need to have the aircraft’s registration number,” he said. Transport Canada told him that in order for it to investigate he’d need to provide the “aircraft registration, date, time, location, direction of flight and a description of the aircraft in question, as well as an estimate of its altitude.” Transport Canada also suggested it could be a police helicopter because police are permitted to carry out low-level manoeuvres, but RCMP media spokesperson Sgt. Peter Thiessen told the Courier it was not their helicopter. See LATE NIGHT on page 4
ow what? After making it clear June 27 that it doesn’t want a referendum on transit funding in Metro Vancouver, the mayors’ council on regional transportation is once again caught in a political kind of congestion with the provincial government. But North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton, who doubles as chairperson of the council, said he and his fellow mayors have not simply panned the referendum without first recommending funding mechanisms to pay for desperately needed transit upgrades in the region. The government, however, previously nixed the council’s recommendations to restart the vehicle registration fee, introduce a sales tax or to use revenue from the province’s carbon tax fund, Walton said. “And gas tax doesn’t work anymore, so what’s left?” he said, arguing an increase in tax at the gas pump would lead to fewer drivers and, therefore, less revenue for transit. Premier Christy Clark announced in her recent re-election campaign that a referendum was a democratic way to give Metro Vancouver residents a say on how much money they want to spend on transit. The consensus among mayors, including Mayor Gregor Robertson, was that a referendum would fail and jeopardize transit projects, said Walton, noting the government did not hold a referendum to spend billions on building a new Port Mann Bridge, widen the TransCanada Highway and construct a new highway in Surrey, often referred to as the South Fraser Perimeter Road. Walton said the government must take the same approach to upgrading the region’s transit system that then-transportation minister Kevin Falcon took to building the Port Mann Bridge project. “He came out, said this is what we’re doing, we’re going to go ahead and do it, I’m the minister and it’s going to be done,” Walton recalled. With Vancouver calling for a $2.8 billion subway from Commercial Drive to the University of B.C. and Surrey wanting a $1.8 billion light rail system, Walton said the demand for transit service is growing more rapidly than TransLink is funded to accommodate.

Road pricing gaining traction elsewhere
Referendums, he said, divide regions and historically get marginal support in cities while often vehemently rejected in transitdeficient suburbs, as occurred recently in Sweden. “[Referendums] don’t have a hope in hell of passing anywhere without having all levels of government working closely together, including the unions and the goods movement sector,” Walton said, noting the current arrangement is to have the mayors’ council do the “heavy lifting” while the government distances itself from the political fallout of recommendations such as restarting the unpopular vehicle registration fee. Road pricing, Walton said, is a topic and funding mechanism for transit and road upgrades that is getting a lot of attention worldwide, including Oregon, which is set to introduce a state-wide road pricing scheme. While some cities such as London have adopted a toll ring for motorists as they drive into the city centre, Walton said charging motorists for the distance they travel should be considered for Metro Vancouver. Road pricing takes various forms, including tolls, charging motorists for using specific lanes and using GPS technology to track distance travelled on a road. Walton has no doubt road pricing would be a “tough sell” in Metro Vancouver but he said other cities with such systems in place have shown decreases in traffic congestion and generated money to fund transit and roads. “It’s going to take a huge amount of political courage in order to build the transit system that Metro Vancouver needs,” he added. In a statement to the Courier, Transpor-

“Road pricing” can include tolls, charging motorists for using specific lanes and using GPS technology to track distance travelled on a road. tation Minister Todd Stone echoed the premier’s earlier comments, saying it was important Lower Mainland taxpayers have a say about transit upgrades. “I will work with the mayors’ council
on the referendum question,” Stone said. “TransLink and its member communities are working hard to develop proposed funding options. The region is growing and we need to make improvements to the trans-
portation system. I am looking forward to working with the mayors’ council and the TransLink Board to make them happen.” mhowell@vancourier.com twitter.com/Howellings
Latenighthelicopternoisedisturbsresidents CONTINUED from page 1 The next time Laplante was awakened by the chopper, at 11:15 and 11:56 p.m. June 21, he headed down to the pier at the south end of Kerr Street and took photographs, one of which he forwarded to the Courier and can be found at vancourier.com. Laplante said the large spotlights trained on the helicopter suggested it was being used for a film shoot. Communications officer Sau Sau Liu told the Courier Transport Canada issued a low flight authorization with conditions to Ascent Helicopters for filming over the city between June 17 and June 20 from 9 a.m. and 10:59 p.m. de-

pending on suitable weather conditions. The same company was issued another low flight authorization for a similar operation over the City of Richmond for June 21
and June 22 between 6 p.m. Friday and 6 a.m. Saturday. “Transport Canada only becomes involved when there is a request for a low flight waiver,”
Liu told the Courier in an email. “Transport Canada reviews all applications for low flight authorizations to make sure flights are conducted safely for those in the air and on the ground. Local municipalities are aware of helicopter operations prior to the flights occurring. For further information on filming, please contact the municipality.” Karyn Magnusson, director of street use for the City of Vancouver, confirmed many residents called 311 to complain about the noise. Some complaints concerned noise as late as 3 a.m. Magnusson added city staff immediately contacted the produc-
tion company, which agreed to notify residents of further disruptions and to keep the noise to approved times. But she noted the city wants to cooperate with film companies due to the employment opportunities they offer. In the case of Godzilla, 2,000 local carpenters were hired to build the massive set, which sits near Boundary Road and East Kent Street. “The city wants to support the film industry and bring it back to Vancouver,” said Magnusson. “It results in 18,000 real local jobs. We just need them to be good neighbours.” sthomas@vancourier.com twitter.com/sthomas10

Teachers up for award TEACHING EXCELLENCE Teachers Romy Cooper and Graeme Cotton get students to find a research topic, question what they’re passionate about and hunt for an answer that can’t be found in a book. Their students are in Grades 4 to 7 at General Gordon elementary in Kitsilano and this year Grade 3 students completed an introductory project. One Grade 6 student explored the deliberate explosion of the underwater peaks of Ripple Rock between Vancouver and Quadra islands in 1958. “The student’s question that he was exploring was was that the best decision, was their decision to explode it justifiable,” Cooper said. “So he did a lot of critical thinking to try and come to his own conclusion.” Another student’s interest in the work of a blacksmith spread to his family, who took him to Fort Langley one weekend so he could do more research. “The passion for this aspect of history, it goes home,” Cooper said. “We hear back from parents all the time that they now know more about Canadian history through their student’s projects working with us over the past few years than they did in their adult life.”
TOP SKILLS Another Eric Hamber fashion student has won gold at the Skills Canada National competition. Following in the footsteps of Donna Lu last year, Connie Cheng won gold earlier this month. Cheng was one of three Vancouver students who competed in the national competition. Candace Tam, also from Hamber, competed in graphic design and print preproduction and Simon Wong from Templeton competed in baking. Wong won silver. Both Templeton and Hamber share a long history winning provincial and national skills competitions. crossi@vancourier.com twitter.com/Cheryl_Rossi

NPA votes against motion to ban ‘big money’ 12TH & CAMBIE with Mike Howell
MONEY SHOT There’s a reason I don’t like to gamble. It’s because I never win. But I really didn’t think it was a gamble to predict that Vision Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer’s motion to get the big money out of civic politics would get unanimous support Wednesday.
After all, Vision, the NPA and COPE previously entered into a tri-party agreement to call on the provincial government to introduce spending limits, a ban on union and corporate donations and other measures that would conceivably allow independents to get elected in this town. But then the NPA’s George Affleck had a look at the motion and didn’t like what he read. So he and his NPA colleague, Elizabeth Ball, voted against it. Why? “Because it puts it at the whim of any political party at any time to change and revise election campaign finance rules,” Affleck said. “It politicizes campaign finance.” Affleck said the issue should be left with the provincial government, which has promised to implement sweeping changes that includes spending limits for civic
campaigns. He added the provincial government has already said it’s not going to allow a Vancouver-only set of rules for civic campaigns. And, he continued, banning union and corporate donations would only give rise to American-style socalled “super PACs,” or political action committees, that raised millions in the recent U.S. election. By the way, still waiting for developer Robert Macdonald to get in touch and ask him what he thought about Reimer’s motion. Macdonald was the same guy who donated almost $1 million to the NPA in the 2011 campaign and put up office space for the party’s election headquarters. The next civic election is in the fall of 2014.
EARNING CURVE The Statement of Financial Information for Metro Vancouver is out! The Statement of Financial Information for Metro Vancouver is out! Wow, exciting news! Why? Well, as a taxpayer and/or observer of civic affairs, I’m guessing you might like to know how much your city councillors and mayor earn when they’re not at city hall. Because when they’re not at city hall, all of them except NPA Coun. George Affleck spend a bit of time in the birthplace of Premier Christy Clark. No, it’s not Westside-Kelowna — it’s Burnaby, headquarters for the Metro Vancouver agency. When candidates are elected to council, they also get the privilege of making decisions that affect the region. They, of course, have to be appointed first by their ruling council. In this case, that would be Vision, which explains why Affleck didn’t get one of the gigs. Anyway, I can tell you that Vision Coun. Raymond Louie was city’s council’s top earner in 2012 for his work at Metro Vancouver, which is defined as a “political body and corporate entity operating under provincial legislation.” Louie, after all, is Metro’s vice-chairperson. He pulled in $41,950 and had an expense tab of $5,845. Add that to Louie’s 2012 council salary of $66,820 and the cash he earns as second vice-president of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and he’s almost pulling in the starting salary of a Courier reporter. Hee, hee. Metro’s financial statements also show what other city councillors earned, including Heather Deal, who chairs the environment committee ($26,801), Andrea Reimer ($12,786), Geoff Meggs ($11,888), Tim Stevenson ($10,835), Kerry Jang ($3,154) and Tony Tang ($692). Adriane Carr ($1,394) and Elizabeth Ball ($697) show up as alternates, which means they chip in when one of the Visionistas can’t make a meeting. Mayor Gregor Robertson collected $5,174.

We’re seeking professional and amateur filmmakers to send us your story in a Vancouver Minute — a 60-second (or less) video detailing what you think is important, interesting or fun about this city or neighbourhood. The contest is part of our ongoing “Vancouver Special” year-long series profiling the city’s amazing diversity of neighbourhoods, and we’re encouraging you to tell your story as well. All submissions must be filmed within Vancouver city limits. Anything goes subject to taste and creativity is encouraged. It can be stop animation about cats living in alleyways. Or a (60 second) mini-documentary
about your grandfather’s childhood home. Or maybe a fictional account of love found on a bus or SkyTrain. The choice is yours. Deadline for submissions is Wednesday, July 17. Contestants can either submit directly through the contest site or can send their Vimeo or YouTube links to contest@ vancourier.com, with the subject line “Vancouver Minute video contest.” London Drugs has offered up store gift cards for our winners: $1,500 for the Critic’s Choice award and $1,000 for the Viewer’s Choice.

See contest.vancourier.com for full contest details. Once the submissions period has ended, Courier staff will pick the top 10 finalists and the contest’s two-week voting period will begin July 19 to give readers a chance to vote for their favourite video, the winner of which will win the Viewer’s Choice award. Two randomly drawn names from readers who vote will also receive a $250 gift card from London Drugs. A panel of judges from the film industry will choose the winner for the Critic’s Choice award.

plan in early June creating a furor among residents concerned about subjects like the prospect of towers around Broadway and Commercial — the Safeway site is envisioned for a tower up to 36 storeys, with other locations cited for future highrises between 22 to 28 storeys in the surrounding area. Once adopted, the area plan will guide growth and change in Grandview-Woodland over the next 30 years. Mosca, who’s lived in Grandview-Woodland for more than three decades, has attended most of the workshops and open houses for the community plan. “The draft plan presented to the community includes some elements that were never discussed nor endorsed by community members who participated. Although there are some good elements included, the red flag items — 36 storeys at Broadway and Commercial for example — are so egregious that people generally feel betrayed,” she told the Courier. The Grandview-Woodland Area Council is hosting a public meeting at 7 p.m., July 8, at Eastside Family Place (1655 William St.) to discuss the plan. It’s also launched a petition at change.org arguing the land use rezoning proposals in the draft document and map were never discussed in any workshops or open houses. The petition demands that consultation be expanded by at least six months. The city has scheduled an additional workshop specifically about plans for the Broadway and Commercial area from 10 to 2 p.m. July 6. Spaces are limited and participants must sign up. Matt Shillito, the city’s assistant director of community planning, said the Grandview-Woodland draft centres on zones where different heights might go rather than specific buildings at this point. City and regional policy is to locate higher density around transit. Shillito said discussions about the CommercialBroadway area of the Grandview-Woodland community plan, including the terms of reference, identified it as a higher density area. “But I think the form of that and the scale of that, when we declared that as an emerging direction, has come as a surprise to people,” he said. When asked why it would
come as a surprise to people who’ve been participating in workshops and open houses, he said: “Because it’s not until you get the specifics of what we mean by higher-density development,andwhatformitmight take at this emerging direction stage, that people understand what that might involve.” Shillito said one of the ways the city is trying to keep people “engaged” is through Saturday’s workshop, which aims to explore different ways to deliver high-density development around the transit zone. “We’ve heard very clearly from the community that there’s a particular sensitivity around height or the number or the extent of the area suggested for tower forms of development,” he said. “…in response to that, we’re going to explore with the community different forms of development that would achieve an appropriate density for this regionally important transit hub with different forms and different heights.” Shillito said there are opportunities to make changes to various aspects of the emerging directions. While the workshop on July 6 is focused on the Commercial-Broadway area, the city is also looking at feedback it’s received on other aspects of the plan. Residents have raised concerns about the idea of extending townhouse forms of development to the west of Nanaimo around parks like Garden Park and about some of the development along Hastings Street. The city has extended the comment period on the draft plan to Aug. 2. Mosca said the bitterness and anger she’s hearing comes from people who bought into the community plan process and took hours out of their personal time to show up to meetings only to discover their input is not reflected in the city’s response. “Personally, after all these years, I am a bit of a cynic about these things. And although I fully subscribe to the theory that you have to get involved with civic processes that affect your neighbourhood, and I am delighted when getting involved can actually work, I am never really surprised when themantraofcivicengagement is used as a smokescreen for what is really going on. That is, the powers that be going ahead with whatever they were planning to do in the first place.” noconnor@vancourier.com

news City looks to become more age and dementia friendly MIKE HOWELL Staff writer
J
im Mann will tell you himself that people wouldn’t otherwise think he suffers from an incurable disease. He can walk, he can talk and he looked good in his dark suit as he made an eloquent speech to city council at a meeting last Wednesday. “But looks can be deceiving,” Mann told council. Mann has Alzheimer’s, a disease he was diagnosed with in 2007 at 58 years old while working for his own communications company. Prior to speaking to council, the only clue Mann gave that he had Alzheimer’s was the lanyard around his neck, which informs people he has the disease and to please be patient with him. “When you get the diagnosis, and especially with no family history — any maybe no first-hand knowledge of the disease — it can hit you in the gut,” said Mann, who grew up in Vancouver before moving to Ottawa as an airline worker. He now lives in Surrey, where he took transit to get to city hall Wednesday. He spoke to council after hearing from Mary Clare Zak, the city’s social policy director, who updated politicians on what her staff is doing to make Vancouver a more age and dementia-friendly city. The reason for the initiative is simple: 10,133 Vancouver residents were living with dementia in 2011 and that number is expected to more than double in 20 years as the city’s seniors population grows. “We sometimes have an image or a perception that they’re living in long-term care,” said Zak of the city’s residents diagnosed with different forms of dementia,
the most prevalent being Alzheimer’s. “But more than half live in our communities and are living in their own homes.” And therein lies the challenge, Mann said in his speech. “The person with a dementia needs to get out, he or she needs to socialize, to get exercise and eat well,” he said. “Learning to navigate the city, then, is important. Does the city make that easy? Will the personnel at the local community centre be understanding and patient?” The city’s strategy to help those with dementia includes training all park board staff who work with seniors and frontline city staff about the disease, the symptoms of which include memory loss, disorientation, difficulty performing tasks and problems with language. All 20 fire halls will be used as places where vulnerable people — or those who identify a person in a crisis — can go for safety, first aid or referrals. The city will also create a protocol between the Vancouver Police Department and city departments when vulnerable people go missing. In addition, there are plans to host events for seniors at community centres and libraries in 2014, including talks on dementia and proclaiming January 2014 Alzheimer’s awareness month. Mann congratulated council for the initiatives and used his time at the microphone to encourage the public to have patience when dealing or confronted with a senior who may be confused because of dementia. “There is no stereotypical person with Alzheimer’s or other dementia,” he said. “From the exterior, we exhibit few, if any, symptoms and that is the challenge. And I know, sometimes, we are going to be the challenge to the people and the services of our city.” mhowell@vancourier.com twitter.com/Howellings

Christy Clark keeps on campaigning
P
remier Christy Clark enjoyed campaigning during the election so much she’s just going to keep doing it. Not just for a Westside-Kelowna seat, but B.C.-wide, judging by last Wednesday’s appearance. She hopped out of a minivan at an extended-care home construction project in Saanich and was right back into photo-op mode, chatting up 17 construction workers lined up in front of the TV cameras. Then she previewed the throne speech for reporters, based on three new themes: “giving children more opportunities than we had, caring for those who cared for us and leaving B.C. as beautiful as we found it.” The visual message was unmistakable. She can’t take a seat in the legislature to talk about jobs, so she’s out where people are working them. Recalling her election campaign, which was heavy on the hard hats, she said it was a way of “paying tribute to the men and women who are building our economy.” At the Saanich site, a joint effort by the Baptist Housing Society and the Vancouver Island Health Authority, she said: “I like being here because it reminds me of all of the benefits of a growing economy.” (Back at the legislature later, NDP Leader Adrian Dix brought a hard hat to his media appearance as a gag.) Clark said the jobs plan that her government has been stressing for almost two years is due for an update. Some parts, like cutting the permitting backlog for some resource projects, have been accomplished, so new targets are needed. And the new Technology Ministry she created needs to be brought into the picture. The throne speech later was a short and sweet restatement of the themes that contributed to a B.C. Liberal win last month. Personal income taxes and the carbon tax will be frozen for five years, as promised during the campaign. That removes one option if the government finds itself running low — to the relief of taxpayers. But it puts more pressure on the cost-cutting and spending constraints. Liberals are also committed to a 10-year skills training plan that will require major revamps of the school, post-secondary and apprenticeship programs. The speech said it is “essential to ensuring that British Columbians are first in line for jobs.” The huge appetite for skilled trades is one of the major elements in the planning for the liquefied natural gas push. And foreign-worker permits are a touchy subject the government wants to minimize, with an “urgent focus” on creating a seamless path from kindergarten to work. Dix waved off questions about how unhappy he might be to be back doing what he was doing before. “We’re disappointed but we’re here to do our job.” And his job Wednesday was to stress how disconnected the throne speech was from the public. He rapped the Liberals for promising a debt-free future, when B.C.’s public debt has increased by $750 million just since the election, according to some calculations. And for all the talk about jobs, the NDP is developing a keen interest in surveys showing that for nine consecutive quarters, more people left B.C. than moved here. The month-by-month count shows B.C. is down 30,000 private jobs since Clark became premier, Dix said. Liberals undeniably connected with people during the campaign a lot better than he did. But he said the rescinded raises for the political aides and the new wheelchair rental levies in one health authority show Clark’s government is “failing to connect with what’s really happening out there.”

An idiotic idea that needs driving home
I
don’t know if this thought came to me while I was watching the guy in the rust-red pickup fishtail through a left hand turn on a stale yellow light, or when the driver of the silver luxury sedan almost ran me over in the crosswalk, or when someone in a hatchback almost ripped off my front fender while I was motionless at a red light. This is my big idea for the day: bad drivers are idiots. I know, not exactly revolutionary. But it could be! When in traffic court, the police, Crown lawyers, judge, and witnesses all have to use polite language. The defendant. The driver. Mr. So-and-So. Ms. Whatshername. What if we changed the wording on a driver’s licence once a person accumulated a certain number of points for traffic violations? Bad drivers already pay more for their insurance if they rack up points for speeding, driving recklessly, blowing through stop signs and so forth. So if they hit 10 points, they’re compelled to also get a new driver’s licence. On it will be their new title: Licensed Driver (Idiot). Imagine the delightful change in traffic court when police are testifying. Crown: Please describe for the court exactly what the idiot did. Mountie: Well your honour, the idiot sped through a stop sign and almost ran over a cyclist who had the right of way. Then, while we were just getting the lights and sirens going, the idiot went through a school zone at 70. We followed him for half a kilometre before he noticed our lights and finally pulled over, because the idiot was playing an audio book of The Secret at full volume. Crown: And is that idiot in this courtroom today? Mountie: Yes, it’s that idiot right over there. Aside from the entertainment value for reporters, the public and officers of the court, this could have at least as much of a chilling effect as more tickets. No one likes to be told they’re an idiot. But some people clearly are idiots, not because of their IQ or their education, but because of their behaviour. You can be a MENSA member with a six-figure salary and be an idiot on the road each and every day, while there are plenty of folks out there who never finished high school who drive with care for others. Being an idiot behind the wheel has very little to do with actual intelligence. It has to do with self-centredness, a lack of empathy, and a failure to imagine the consequences of one’s actions. I suggest the following scale for drivers in B.C. If successful, we could maybe export it to other provinces and countries. • Twit: Five points on a licence. If you drive without incident for a year, your status as a Twit will be expunged. • Idiot: Ten points or more on a licence. At this point you’re already paying some pretty hefty ICBC premiums, but that obviously fails to drive home the lesson for some people. Will be expunged by three years of safe driving. • Freakin’ Idiot: Fifteen or more points on a licence. Congratulations, you’ve graduated from being a garden-variety idiot. Will be reduced to Idiot by a year of safe driving. • Moronic Menace: Twenty or more licence points. Cannot be revoked, but after five years of safe driving, a notation will be added to your licence saying you are a retired menace. • Future Killer: Thirty or more points. You are so clearly a danger to yourself and others every time you sit behind the wheel of a car that it’s only a matter of time before you kill or maim someone. • Murderous Fool: If you ever get your licence back after killing someone with your car, this is your designation for life. mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

PANNING PLANNING
To the editor: Re: “Tower plan Drive-ing East Side residents mad,” June 21. The current round of community planning has essentially collapsed. The Grandview-Woodland Community Plan completely failed to discuss land use and rezoning during the “consultation process” and now that a land use map has been issued by the planners, uproar has ensued, partly over the zoning itself and partly over the complete absence of civic engagement in the creation of this draft plan. In the Downtown East Side, the Local Area Planning has failed completely, with major players exiting the city’s process and attempting to create their own. It appears the Marpole Community Plan process has also resulted in mass meetings of protest. I suspect from personal conversations with interested parties that the West End Plan is facing similar difficulties. Surely it is about time for city council to wake up and smell the acrid stink of failure. Surely they must recognise that the planning department process is out of control and causing them future headaches galore. I am not usually one to give useful political advice to Vision Vancouver but can they not see that, if these four plans are pushed through under the current process, then next year — election year — will be full of community protests, not by anarchists or even activists but
by regular folks, their supposed constituency. If, on the other hand, they were to reign in their staff and reorganize these planning exercises into genuine examples of community engagement, then perhaps they could be seen as belated heroes, worthy of another term. City council should call a halt to the community plans today, have a re-think, cancel the present terms of reference and re-launch them with a more inclusive process. After all, what’s the rush? Isn’t it better to have plans supported by the people even if it takes five or six months longer than originally scheduled?
Jak King, Vancouver
TAKING IT ON FAITH To the editor: Re: “God’s grace not in the details of catastrophe,” June 21. I agree with Geoff Olson entirely that the seemingly selective beneficence of God in dealing with disaster victims defies rational explanation and gives rise to questions of God’s existence (even among believers); such inconsistencies are all too often dismissed as God “working in mysterious ways” or the failure of the faithful victims to pray hard enough. Such discussions and claims are best completely left out of objective news reporting, even in the religious United States. However, on one point Olson is dead wrong. Atheism is not, as he states, a faith; it is the absence of faith. There is no insti-
A11
tutionalized collectivity of atheists, and atheism ranges from the, illogical, outright denial of God’s existence to the position taken by Richard Dawkins and others that the non-existence of God can be claimed on the basis of probabilities and the absence of scientific evidence. It takes no faith to not believe in something. As someone once said, “To claim that atheism is a faith is akin to claiming that not collecting stamps is a hobby.” Bruce Levens, Vancouver
CHANGING TEAM
To the editor: Re: “Ex-NPAers start their own Vancouver party,” June 19. What a strange irony! For years, the NPA and its pro-development, pro-business fellow travellers with their poor record on consultation and respect for residential neighbourhoods, controlled civic politics in Vancouver. The Electors Action Movement (TEAM) was formed largely to block this trend and specifically a proposed flyover freeway through downtown. In 1972, Art Phillips was elected mayor and the new TEAM team included people like Mike Harcourt and Darlene Marzari. That election marked an abrupt end to NPA policies. How sad, but how typically cynical, that NPA politicians have grabbed the name of the party that turfed them out in 1972. Don Maas, Vancouver

Pie-eyedpizzeriasvieforslicesupremacy COMMUNITY CALENDAR
with Sandra Thomas
CITYWIDE This job can be a tough one on occasion as was demonstrated last Thursday when I was forced to travel from pizzeria to pizzeria in the quest for the best slice the city (and beyond) has to offer. As part of the Pizza Challenge Media Tour, hosted by organizer and food writer Richard Wolak, also known as Vancouver Foodster, a group of us began our adventure at Cotto Enoteca Pizzeria on East Hastings Street in Burnaby. Crossing city limits to enjoy a pizza had not previously crossed my mind, but that was before I tried their Pizza Di Spagna, a nod to Spain topped with arugula pesto, chorizo, peppers, cheese and baby arugula. Then it was back to the city to visit
another pizzeria not previously on my radar but now indelibly inked on my brain. The offering at Ragazzi Pizza, located on East 22nd Avenue off Renfrew, was unlike anything I had tried before with a creamed potato infused sauce, sautéed kale and a hint of spicing, smoked sausage. Our pizza tour came to an end at Kits pizzeria The Bibo on West Fourth Avenue, where chef Marco Di Stefano, newly imported from Naples, prepared for us an authentic pizza topped with friarielli, a slender, thin-skinned pepper from the south of Italy. The kicker here was the fresh, gooey, buffalo mozzarella dropped on the pie after it came out of the fiery oven. In total there are 14 pizzerias, including one in Maple Ridge, that have created specialty pies, which might not still be available after the Vancouver Foodster Pizza Challenge ends July 14. Once you’ve tried each of the creations at participating restaurants, vote for your favourite pizza once per day now through July 15. For more information and a list

Great sleep tips for summertime shut-eye
approaching and sleep in a dark room. Your bedroom should be a sanctuary from all the stresses of the day. Keep it cool, quiet and free from distractions.
• Hide all electronic lighting. While room lights, TV, computers and other electronics illuminate our worlds well beyond nightfall and give us the ability to stay active after dark, scientists are now contemplating how this prolonged exposure to light might interfere with our bodies’ naturallyprogrammed sleep patterns. In other words, computers, cell phones and work assignments should be out of sight.
Summer’s here—the sun is shining and you may be feeling restless and unable to sleep. Lack of sleep can often come upon us when the seasons shift. The heat and humidity of warmer months can make it difficult for some to sleep, especially for people who don’t have air conditioning. Canadian physicians recognize the importance of a good night’s sleep. Here are some useful tips: • Make your day work for you. Daily exercise and a consistent routine of going to bed and waking up at the same time will help program your body to wind down when it’s time to sleep. Calming activities, such as leisure reading, will also help you relax and ease the transition into deeper sleep. • Create a sleep sanctuary. Dim the lights in the evening to tell your body bedtime is
• Have a backup plan. Lessen the pressures of trying to fall asleep by selecting a calming activity that’s right for you. If you’re not sleepy, simply get out of bed and do something relaxing in dim light. Return to bed only when you are sleepy. • Talk to your doctor if sleeplessness persists. Sometimes lifestyle changes and behavioural approaches are not enough to correct the issue. A variety of over-the-counter (OTC) medications are available to treat occasional sleeplessness.

DANCING ON THE EDGE FESTIVAL celebrates 25 years of showcasing the best in contemporary dance from Canada and around the world July 4 to 13. Leaping across the city, the 2013 festival sees 28 different choreographers and companies enjoying the great outdoors with performances in Portside Park, Chinatown and Gastown as well as the Firehall Arts Centre and the Scotiabank Dance Centre. For tickets, go to firehallartscentre.ca or call 604-689-0926. More details at dancingontheedge.org.
Few bands were as revered and commercially ignored as BIG STAR. Sure, Cheap Trick reworked the band’s “In the Street” for the theme to That 70s show and the Replacements named a song after singer-guitarist Alex Chilton, but critical adulation only gets you so far, as witnessed in the new documentary BIG STAR: NOTHING CAN HURT ME. The feature length film “about the dismal commercial failure, subsequent massive critical acclaim, and enduring legacy of pop music’s greatest cult phenomenon, Big Star” screens July 3 and 4, 7 p.m. at the Rio Theatre. Wednesday’s screening is followed by a live musical tribute featuring performances from Louise Burns Music, Darius Minwalla (The Posies), Malcolm Biddle (Sun Wizard) and Devon R. Lougheed (Beekeeper). Details at riotheatre.ca

f this review reads like an ode to actor Jonathon Young, that’s what it is. Young plays Feste, the Fool, in director Dennis Garnhum’s early 1900s take on Twelfth Night. His performance is so beautiful, so layered and comes from so deep inside the character that I was getting misty-eyed from the sheer loveliness of it. As Jennifer Lines, who plays beautiful, lovelorn Olivia, says, “Jonathon is a magic man.” You can hardly take your eyes off him when he’s on stage and that’s most of the time. His lanky body — which could be awkward with those gangly arms and legs — moves with the grace of a dancer. And somehow his smile seems ironic or sad; he tosses it out to the audience like a challenge: “You think this is lighthearted?” Twelfth Night is one of Shakespeare’s mistaken identity plays. Twins Viola and Sebastian have been lost at sea and each, presuming the other drowned, turn up (in this production) in a seaside hotel — the What You Will Hotel and Spa — in Illyria, circa 1913. Penniless and alone, Viola disguises herself as a boy and becomes the page to Duke Orsino. The Duke is in love with Olivia, owner of the hotel, but she is in mourning for her deceased brother and rebuffs him. Orsino sends Cesario to woo her on his behalf and, you guessed it, Olivia falls for Cesario — who is, of course, Viola. Embedded in all this foolishness is the sorry tale of Malvolio (Allan Zinyk), manager of the hotel for Olivia and a party-pooper of the first order.

Jonathon Young plays Feste, the Fool, in Twelfth Night at Bard on the Beach. Several of the partyers —Toby Belch (Bill Dow), Aguecheek (Richard Newman) and a couple of the hotel employees — hatch a plot to make Malvolio look crazy in the hope that Olivia will fire him and they can party hearty. It’s a really nasty part of the play that offers a wicked edge to an otherwise frivolous play. Zinyk brings his tremendous comic talent to the role with little jigs, flirtatious looks, batting eyes — all done with superb timing. Director Garnhum plumbs the script for anything and everything featherlight; a directive in the play to “hold your peace” becomes an opportunity for all the young men to grab their groins (holding their “pieces”) and jackass around. And, although Benjamin Elliott’s musical direction and arrange-
ments are excellent, there are times when Twelfth Night begins to sound like Twelfth Night: The Musical. Lines is a bubbling-over Olivia who almost swoons with excitement when she falls for Cesario. When Olivia realizes that there are possibly two Cesarios (Sebastian and Viola look like identical twin boys), Lines leads you to believe Olivia is over the moon with the possibility that she might bed both of them — maybe at the same time. Right out of London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, Rachel Cairns makes a fresh, enthusiastic debut at Bard in the role of Cesario/Viola. Cairns is young and her character’s attraction to the Duke (sexy, charismatic Todd Thomson) is very puppy-ish; the match made by these two characters feels definitely May and September. And Olivia, who reveals herself as a caring person when the Malvolio prank is revealed, could do better than Sebastian (nicely rendered by Daniel Doheny). But that’s the way the Bard wrote it. The summery, wicker-filled set, lit by Gerald King, is by Pam Johnson. Costumes from baby blue gowns to black and white striped woolen “bathing costumes” are by Nancy Bryant. But it’s Young who steals this show. I’m almost afraid to see what he does with Hamlet, directed by Kim Collier. If Feste can almost brings tears to my eyes, imagine the wreck I’ll be when Horatio, over the body of Hamlet, proclaims, “Good night, sweet Prince/And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.” —reviewed by Jo Ledingham For more reviews, go to joledingham.ca.

Elizabeth Rex faces her demons at Bard on the Beach FINDLEY PLAY PART OF THIS YEAR’S SUMMER REPERTOIRE CHRISTINE LYON Contributing writer
C
olleen Wheeler’s freshly shaved head is a stark reminder of human vulnerability and the certainty of old age. Of course, Wheeler could have opted to wear a latex bald cap, but most actresses who take on the role of Queen Elizabeth I voluntarily lose their locks. “You have to go there and shave your head and face your own demons,” Wheeler says, “remove all sort of artifice.” Wheeler plays the title character in Elizabeth Rex, which opens July 5 at Bard on the Beach. Directed by Rachel Ditor, the contemporary work by Canadian writer Timothy Findley is the only non-Shakespeare play lined up for the 24th annual Shakespeare festival, which runs until Sept. 14 at Vanier Park. The story takes place on the eve of an execution. The queen’s former lover, the Earl of Essex, has been jailed for treason and is to die by her order at dawn. In need of distraction, she spends the night in a barn with Shakespeare and his acting company. During the play, the English monarch only once removes her signature red wig, revealing a patchy bald
H S FI for
scalp — thought to be the result of a bout with smallpox — but Wheeler says going hairless for the summer will help her relate to her historic character. She has also studied the history books and identified a human side to the iconic queen. “I think she was a very lonely person at times in her life,” Wheeler says, explaining the Virgin Queen, as she was often called, never married. “I think the play itself is about her finding a way to grieve the fact that she’s putting her lover to death and I think we can all relate to grief in a way,” she adds. Including Elizabeth Rex in this season of Bard on the Beach is part of a new festival mandate to produce contemporary works that complement Shakespeare’s world and themes. Wheeler, a company member at Bard on the Beach for 11 seasons, says this show will appeal to history buffs and Shakespeare fans alike. “There’s a lot of really accurate historical reference, so it sort of brings you into the world of the Elizabethan court a little bit and into some of the history that was embroiled at the time.” Rounding out the 2013 Bard on the Beach season are Hamlet and Twelfth Night, which are being shown in the 742-seat mainstage tent, and Measure For Measure, playing in repertory with Elizabeth Rex in the 240-seat studio stage tent. Wheeler also plays a side role in Measure For Measure, Shakespeare’s dark comedy about hypocrisy, sexual repression and justice. The play’s antagonist, Angelo (actor/director David Mackay) as-

Colleen Wheeler plays the title character in Elizabeth Rex at Bard on the Beach this summer. Timothy Findley’s play won the 2000 Governor General’s Award for English language drama. sumes power after Duke Vincentio mysteriously leaves town. “As soon as he gets power he starts calling shots and putting into law strict statutes, particularly against sexuality, that have immediate repercussions on members of the community,” says Mackay, explaining his character eventually falls criminal to his own harsh laws. The show has a comic side, he says, but the humour is rooted in satire. “We’re not just laughing at gags or things for the sake of them being funny,” Mackay says. In a unique twist, director John Murphy has set Measure For Mea-
sure in the early 1900s in jazz-age New Orleans, contrasting the sensuality of the musical culture against the Catholic tradition of the region. Putting a new spin on a Shakespeare classic is not new at Bard on the Beach, but it’s a creative approach the festival’s artistic director Christopher Gaze admits he didn’t always embrace. “I used to react very badly against all this and wanted my Shakespeare just straight up like a martini,” Gaze says. “But over the years I’ve grown with it all and I love the fact that you can put plays in different times and realize them in different ways.
But you need to be smart, you need to be clever and don’t let the concept distort the play.” Born in England and trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, Gaze came to Canada in 1975 and founded Bard on the Beach in 1990. It’s his job to decide on the program each year. “What you’re looking for is balance, as we all are in life,” he says. Any given season will typically feature a comedy, a tragedy and a romance from Shakespeare’s canon, but the selection process follows no prescribed formula. “It’s all feel and gut, frankly,” Gaze says. While many arts organizations struggle to stay afloat, Bard on the Beach is thriving and in 2011 erected an expanded-capacity mainstage tent with an open end, allowing actors to perform against a backdrop of water and mountains. Gaze has an idea why the festival continues to draw crowds year after year. “When you come to Bard it’s an event, and people love that,” he says, adding that tents, to him, are always a sure sign of celebration. “It’s the quintessential sort of Vancouver experience. You don’t have to go into an environmentally controlled black box and say goodnight to an exquisite evening outside. You stay with it. You watch the sun go down and that’s a beautiful thing.” For show times and ticket information, visit bardonthebeach.org or call 604-739-0559. clyon@nsnews.com For video, scan page with tablet or smartphone using the Layar app.

ROUNDHOUSE COMMUNITY CENTRE
FUTURE
UNIVERSITY OF B.C. THUNDERBIRDS
six-foot-eight, 270-pound basketball player towers above mothers and their strollers in the lobby of the Roundhouse Community Centre. Inside the gym, the athlete is recognized. “Bazooka! Bazooka!” Children swarm Luka Zaharijevic, who grew up in a mid-rise apartment in Yaletown and shoots hoops at the Roundhouse alone, with his brother or occasionally with neighbourhood teammates like Justin Sze. He likes the attention and the responsibility of being a role model but comes to the gym for another purpose. “I want to work on my own skills,” he says. “I feel like every player has that — when you’re alone and you want to work on your own, you have that feeling that no one else can see you. You’ve got to stay undercover.” Outside the community centre, men walk by and greet Zaharijevic in Serbian. The 17-year-old chats comfortably. “They’re friends with my dad,” he says. On occasion, Zaharijevic’s father was as much a presence at Kitsilano games as his son. His excitable, ever-supportive courtside presence won’t change when the Bazooka suits up for the T-birds. Being noticed is natural for Zaharijevic, bigboned and broad-shouldered and talented, too. The power forward played 35 minutes a game for the Kitsilano Blue Demons this March in the playoffs and
averaged 17.1 points, 13.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and three blocks. Over the seasons, the big man honed his soft touch and in the championship tournament sunk 86 per cent of his free throws on the way to a fourth-place finish at the AAA provincials. In Grade 12 alone, he was named to five tournament all-star teams and was a four-time MVP. He won the full-ride scholarship offered at the Telus Basketball Classic and this spring committed to UBC. Thunderbirds coach Kevin Hanson called Zaharijevic a “passionate” player who bolsters his considerable hulk with “unreal hands.” Pasha Bains, the founder of the Drive basketball club, had the same praise and used to joke about Zaharijevic being in the wrong sport. It’s a surprise he’s not on a football field, said Bains. “He’s a big guy who can actually run fast.” Although the Bazooka often draws a crowd, once in his zone, he’s alone. And he has plans for the fall and is going to work this summer to build a more versatile game. “The majority of my game is in the paint,” he says. “Every player has new goals and that’s my goal for next year. Not only have a physical presence — that’s going to be my main game still — but maybe add one or two jumpers, mid-range shots.” With an easy smile, he adds, “No threes yet, that’s what Kevin told me.” The Bazooka, designed to blast the paint and fire rockets from in deep. ● — MEGAN STEWART
