NorthVanCity to consider casino againBRENT [email protected]

After folding its hand last year, City of North Vancouvercouncil is anteing up again for the possibility of commer-cial gambling.

In early June, the B.C. Lottery Corporation asked the NorthShore’s three municipalities and two First Nations whetherthey’d be interested in hosting a gaming facility, giving them adeadline of July 15 to respond.

In 2015, the city debated and rejected a request to over-turn its bylaw forbidding commercial gaming when a casino

developer wanted to install slot machines at the Shipyards. Butsomemembers of council had a change of heart Monday night,voting to take another more general look.

Governments that host gaming facilities get a 10 per cent cutof the revenues, which BCLC estimated would be between $1.5million to $2.2 million for a North Shore casino. That was moneythe city shouldn’t be sacrificing, said Coun. Holly Back.

“I truly believe we will get one in North Vancouver, whether

it’s in the city or on band lands. I’d rather see the money in ourpurse than theirs,” she said.

Despite worries about negative community impacts, Backsaid she spoke with Burnaby and Richmond council memberswho had nothing but praise for the casinos they host.

“They both said they’ve had absolutely zero problems – infact they’re probably the best tenants they have in their city,”she said, noting gaming facilities also bring jobs, amenity spaceand restaurants. “Everybody has this vision of this big scarything and it’s not. They actually can be quite beautiful.”

TREVOR LAUTENS: TRUE NORTH STRONG AND FREE, FLAWS AND ALL PAGE 8

JANE [email protected]

After almost four decadeswith the North VancouverSchool District, this sum-mer will mark the first thatJohn Lewis won’t be look-ing ahead to a new schoolyear in September.

Thursdaymarked Lewis’slast official day on the job after37 years in the local school

district, including the last10 in the top job of schoolssuperintendent.

New superintendent MarkPearmain takes up the job ofsteering the North Shore’s larg-est school district next week.

Lewis leaves the schooldistrict on a strong financialfooting, with seven newschools built or substantiallyrenovated between 2004 and2011 and programs expanded

to include international bac-calaureate, sports and digitalmedia academies, expandedFrench Immersion and a newhome for alternative programsat Mountainside secondary.

Heritage rebuilds of bothQueenMary and Ridgewayelementary schools andreplacements of Westview,Highlands, Lynn Valley elemen-tary schools and Sutherlandand Carson Graham secondar-ies – as well as the EducationServices Centre on Lonsdaleand the Cheakamus Centre atthe school district’s outdoor

school – were finished largelyon Lewis’s watch, representinga $350-million capital buildingeffort.

Expansion of specialty pro-grams has helped boost NorthVancouver’s enrolment into aslow but steady rebound.

Unlike many schooldistricts around the province,the North Vancouver schooldistrict isn’t grappling with adeficit, and generates about$11 million annually towardsits $173 million budget,through leases and fees paidby international students.

But none of that has comewithout significant pain, Lewisacknowledges.

Beset with falling enrol-ment, aging school buildingsand a financial crunch inthe early 2000s, the NorthVancouver School Districtclosed nine schools between2004 and 2012, in a processsimilar to that faced by theVancouver School Districttoday.

“The school closureprocess was extremely chal-lenging,” said Lewis, for bothparents and school staff.

In hindsight, “people cameto the realization it was theright thing to do,” he said,adding making decisions thatare unpopular at the time“takes a great deal of courageon the part of the board ofeducation.”

The school board’sdecision to fund a numberof school replacementsthrough the sale of formerschool properties has alsonot been without significantcontroversy.

Lewis led schools in decade of change

Coun. Linda Buchanan wasone member who changedher vote, largely because thisproposal isn’t related to theShipyards or any other publiclands.

“The previous applicationwas very specifically wantingto go on public property andwe were very adamant, andI’m still very adamant, I wouldnot support anything being onour waterfront,” she said.

And, she added, muchof the research presentedby opponents to the lastproposal, including the NorthShore’s medical health officer,was out of date.

“We have numerous gam-ing facilities throughout theprovince, so I’d like to seesomething in terms of datathat’s far more relevant thanthe early 1990s because wedon’t make any decisionsbased on science that’s par-ticularly that old,” she said.

Coun. Craig Keating andMayor Darrell Mussatto bothvoted in favour, stating thecity wouldn’t be committingto anything other than investi-gating the proposal further. “Ithink we should at least lookat the pros and cons to seehow it would benefit or hurtthe city,” Mussatto said.

With their four votes, thecity will forward a non-binding

expression of interest toBCLC.

Still, a contingent of coun-cil remained opposed, citinga lack of interest in gamblingexpressed by city residents.

“Since this issue becamepublic ... I think I’ve had oneletter of support and I’ve hadseveral indicating concern,”said Coun. Don Bell. “I person-ally think it’s an opportunitybut there’s a cost associatedwith it as well and so I won’tbe supporting the motion.”

Coun. Pam Bookham votedagainst the plan, adding adose of salt for the province,which she said was being“deaf or indifferent” to thevoice of the municipality.

“I find myself concernedthat the province is pushingthis upon our communitywithout regard to the mes-sage that I thought we sentquite unambiguously the lasttime we discussed gamingin the city and indicated wewere in fact not in favour,”she said. “This is about theprovince generating revenuethrough gaming, somethingthat when they were firstelected, they were adamantthey were not going to do.”

Coun. Rod Clark rejectedthe notion that a North Shorecasino was inevitable, sayinghe’d seen no indication fromthe other governments theywere ready to host one. And

B.C.’s chief medical healthofficer and the North Shore’spublic health officer haveboth spoken against increas-ing gaming, he added.

The districts of NorthVancouver and WestVancouver have decidedagainst sending an expressionof interest.

Squamish Nation ChiefIan Campbell said his councilopted to not respond, say-ing simply being a host to aprivate casino wouldn’t be agood use of reserve land.

“Our desire or aspirationis to look at partnering orequity or having a licencedirectly to First Nations. Thatopportunity has not been

afforded to Squamish Nationand we continue to push thatissue with B.C. Lotto Corp.,”he said.

Tsleil-Waututh Nation didnot respond to a request forcomment.

to confirm that the pres-ence of pink algae in Arcticsnow and glaciers decreasessnow’s albedo by 13 percent.

“What that means is 13per cent more heat will beabsorbed instead of beingreflected back away fromearth,” Quarmby said. “Themore it melts, the more thealgae grow, the more theyabsorb the heat. …They’repart of a positive feedbackloop for climate change.”

It’s particularly relevantin the Arctic where tem-peratures are rising fastestbut because of its isolationand harsh conditions, it’sdifficult to study the algae’sbehaviour continuously.The same species of algae isknown to grow in the NorthShore Mountains, whichscientists could easily reachif they know the right placesto look.

Quarmby hopes anyonewho spots pink snow willsend her an email with anote about the location,a photo and, if possible,GPS co-ordinates so sheand other researches canstudy the algae cultures inmore detail, right down tosequencing their DNA, nextwinter and spring.

“We can go out everyweek for two months andwatch the seasonal pro-gression so we can reallyunderstand the biology,” shesaid. “One of the mysteriesis where this stuff comesfrom. It appears on top ofthe snow. That snow fellfrom the sky and was whiteall winter so where doesthis stuff come from? One ofthe ideas is that it swims upthrough the soil. It swimsup the melting snow ontothe surface.”

The study can thenserve as a “beta test” formore research in the Arctic,Quarmby said.

And time is precious forthis kind of research as cli-mate change itself threatensto reshape the North Shoreecosystem, Quarmby said.

“It’s probably the mostrapidly changing ecosystemon the planet during cli-mate change. These alpinesnowfields may be goingextinct and we don’t evenknow how they work yet,”

she said.The study is firmly in the

realm of pure science – baseknowledge with no immedi-ate application – but thatdoesn’t mean it couldn’tprove to be very important,Quarmby said. Her studiesinto green algae once led toa serendipitous discoveryrelated to human health.

“I was just studying itbecause I was really curioushow it moved and I discov-ered a gene that helped usfigure out polycystic kidneydisease but I never couldhave predicted that. I nevercould have dreamed I wasstudying polycystic kidneydisease,” she said. “Younever know what you’regoing to discover. To me,one of the most importantthings we need to be doingis staying curious about ourworld.”

Anyone who spots

pink, green or dirty look-ing snow in the mountainsshould email [email protected]. Hikers can alsorequest sample collectionkits to retrieve the algaethemselves.

Lewis said he applauds theschool boards, past and pres-ent, for “maintaining a focuson the future.”

Before joining NorthVancouver as an assistantsuperintendent, Pearmainworked for many years as ateacher, assistant principaland principal in the VancouverSchool District.

Pearmain, 45, said someadvantages of a mid-sizedschool district like NorthVancouver is it’s “big enoughto allow us to have a variety

of programs but small enoughto allow us to be nimbleand change direction” whenrequired.

Another differencebetween the Vancouver andNorth Vancouver schooldistricts is in the politics of theschool boards, which informstheir working relationshipswith the provincial govern-ment. “The Vancouver systemis party based,” he said. “TheNorth Vancouver system isnot.”

As he takes up his newrole, Pearmain said the phase-in of the new curriculumwill

continue to be a focus overthe next two years. That willlikely include a change inthe way student progress isreported to parents, as well asthe switch from five provincialexams down to two for seniorhigh school students.

“Any time you bring inchange there’s going to beangst and some anxiety andsome bumps along the way,”he said, adding helping peoplemanage that is part of his role.

Acknowledging FirstNations culture and support-ing aboriginal students willcontinue to be important, he

said. Planning for the district’sfirst new “urban” school in thegrowing Lower Lonsdale areais also on the horizon.

Pearmain said he hopesto hear from those involvedin the school system aboutwhat’s working well and alsoabout what needs improving.That involves “being open tohearing it,” he said, as well asrecognizing people may havedifferent opinions.

As a superintendent, partof his job is to be the publicface of the school district, saidPearmain, and tell “the storyof what’s taking place inside

our classrooms and the amaz-ing things our kids are doingand our staff are doing.”

Those are stories that toooften the wider public doesn’tget to hear about, he said.

Oh, Canada

When the last fireworksurrenders the sky todarkness, Canada willenjoy its traditionalpost-birthday crisis of

confidence.What is our place in the world? Do we

look older? What have we done with our149 years?

Last week, we watched the UnitedKingdom vote to leave the EuropeanUnion. While the final vote seemed ill-advised, as evidenced by the now-tankingmarkets and British currency and the coldshoulder from former trading partners,what was more disappointing was the suc-cess of a campaign rooted in xenophobia.

U.S. Republican presidential candidateDonald Trump continues to excite hisrabid base of supporters by promising toseal off the country’s borders, literally andfiguratively.

Admittedly, we have had our own

flirtations with this creeping distrust ofoutsiders. It was only a year ago we werebeing pitched on the banning of hijabs incitizenship ceremonies and a so-calledbarbaric cultural practices snitch line.Thankfully Canadians roundly rejectedthat way of looking at the world.

Canada has since welcomedmore than25,000 Syrian refugees. Yet we still singO Canada as loud as ever before hockeygames (or we would if any Canadian teamsmade the playoffs). It proves there’s roomto have national pride without descendinginto ugly nationalism. We can continue tobe Canadian without turning our backs onour friends and people in need.

As long as wemove forward withreasoned debate and reject the lure ofpoliticians who prosper only when theyengage us at our most base and fearfullevel, we have every reason to believeCanada can be a safe haven for refugees,for sanity, and for all of us.

Canada – we’re No. 1!In telecom charges!In bloated credit cardinterest! In stock-

brokerages’ fat fees! In beingpassed over for NHL fran-chises by that little New Yorkfink Gary Bettman!

Outstanding Canadianman of letters RobertsonDavies mused that one isallowed to believe somethingthat one doesn’t believe 24hours a day.

So today I scorn the usualnauseous self-congratulationthat sticks to the nationalholiday. Twenty-three hoursfrom now I may believe thatCanada is indeed the greatest,but at this hour I’m willing tobelieve that the title of “thegreatest” lies safely in thebosom of Muhammad Ali.

Or, as I mutter in jadedmoments: If it’s the greatestcountry, think of the rest.

How about crime and

punishment? Our criminal jus-tice system strikes terror inthe hearts of the law-abiding.

Put aside that the courtwheels habitually grindslower than a con artistrepays his victims (if ever,and so much for restitution,which ought to be the heartof all punishment). It definesofficial insanity, or at leastconfusion: The prison doors

swing open to release a times-up menace into a community,accompanied by mediawarnings that this dangerouscreep, name provided, is onthe loose.

That traduces plain senseand the safety of the inno-cent. And, paradox here,simultaneously the noble (ornaïve, the two often cohabit-ing) principle that the convicthas paid his debt to society.New start. Clean sheet. But ifblotted again – more employ-ment for the system.

It must agonizingly troublejudges who release childreninto the custody of a parent– often, in this country, onpreferential racial grounds,and on another angry dayI’ll lecture on the state-spon-sored racism that distorts theCanadian polity – only to havethe child physically or sexualabused, or starved, or killed.But judges, counsellors,

parole boards are sparedpersonal legal responsibility.To err is human, to forgive isunnecessary.

And here’s my if-I-were-king moment: I’d restorecapital punishment.

Horrors, barbaric! Butnot of the usual suspects,like low-IQ persons commit-ting boringly unimaginativemurders. No, for the seven-piece-suit psychopaths whorepeatedly rip off the vulner-able with Ponzi schemes,Internet scams (how mixed ablessing are the Internet and“social media”!), and – waitfor it – big-time offshore taxevaders sucking wealth fromhonest people and their fairlyhonest governments. Like thescoundrel who, as a judgeruled in a recent typical case,essentially was arguing thathe ought not pay taxes in hisown country, ought not paythem in the haven abroad

– ought not pay taxes at all.Very well, here’s my

squishy liberal alternative toa good hanging: A free passfrom the gibbet for a firstoffence. Second offence: Life-means-life imprisonment.

It’s scandalous that ourcourts are light on so-calledwhite-collar crime. With theusual one-third sentencereduction for convicts whodon’t belch too loudly andclean their teeth twice a day,these smooth thugs can bephilosophical about beingcaught stealing millions fromwidows and orphans – threeor four years in the crowbarmotel is a small price to paywhen their ill-gotten gains aresquirreled away in offshoreholes the police couldn’t find,even if asked.

That’s why life imprison-ment would teach a profoundlesson; as Voltaire drily said inhis mid-18th century visit to

England, the English executean admiral from time to time“pour encourager les autres” –to encourage the others. Ah,but of course the Supremeswould rule a life sentence wascharter-offending cruel andunusual punishment.

Which can only raisehighly unfashionable ques-tions about both the charter’sconnection with reality,and whether the “ordinaryCanadian” believes that, givenprison amenities, libraries,balanced diet, health care,exercise, and protection fromunwelcome gang vengeance,to say nothing of the flatteringattentions of psychiatrists,psychologists, counsellors,and academics studying thesystem, there is, in Canada inthis year of blessed enlight-enment 2016, any genuinepunishment at all.

Lack of affordable housing areality for ‘people like us’Dear Editor:

We came here 60-plusyears ago from Alberta andfound West Vancouver – aparadise – but time moves on.

All the complaints nowabout lack of affordable hous-ing? Just scan the real estatesection in each Friday’s NorthShore News… 60 pages orso of affordable housing …priced from $2 to $21 million… and it sells!

What you really mean is: aserious lack of housing afford-able to what you might call“people like us.”

If this situation continuesand there is no reason tothink it will not, it won’t belong before the “fat cats” willall live in the “city” and all theworker bees out in the furtherand further suburbs.

A local real estate agentcame two months ago to tell

me I was sitting on a goldmine.

When I said that it wouldnot be long before a lot of thepresent old-time residentswere gone from here, shesaid, with no trace of a smile,“yes, no more people likeyou!” (By which I understoodher to mean: we will all havebeen paid to go away.)Jas Derham-ReidWest Vancouver

West Vancouver home-owners whose basementswere flooded when ariver of muddy water ranthrough their neighbour-hood following a heavyrainstorm June 14 will beeligible for financial helpfrom the province.

The provincial govern-ment announced last weekthat West Vancouver home-owners whose insurancedoesn’t cover flood-relateddamage can apply to B.C.’sdisaster financial assistancefund for help.

The province will also

help pay for municipal costsof activating the emergencyoperations centre during theflood.

A total of 22 homes in thetony Stearman Beach areaof West Vancouver were hitwith water damage after aflash flood of heavy rain sentdebris down Willow Creek,blocking a grate and caus-ing the creek to overflow itsbanks.

A number of residents inthe waterfront area foundtheir basements underseveral feet of water in themiddle of the night, whilefirefighters temporarilyevacuated four homes onRoss Crescent.

Most standard homeinsurance policies don’tcover water damage fromflooding.

The provincial disasterfinancial assistance programhelps to cover damages

and financial losses tohomeowners in those cases.Homeowners can applyfor help for 80 per cent ofdamage over $1,000, up to amaximum of $300,000.

To be eligible, homeown-ers must prove the home istheir principal residence.The disaster fund doesn’tcover damage to seasonal orrecreational properties, hottubs, pools, luxury goods orrecreational items.

Applications must besubmitted by Sept. 19.

Following the flood, publicworks crews cleared debrisfrom Willow and Claymorecreeks, said Jeff McDonald,spokesman for the District ofWest Vancouver.

He added the municipalitywill be helping residents bycompiling information aboutthe flood that homeownerscan use to apply to the disas-ter relief program.

! North Shore Jazz: Jon Cleary and the AbsoluteMonsterGentlemen, Sunday, July 3 at 8 p.m. at the BlueShoreFinancial Centre for the PerformingArts at CapilanoUniversity, in partnershipwith the TDVancouverInternational Jazz Festival. Tickets: $35/$33, visit capilanou.ca/blueshorefinancialcentre.

ERIN [email protected]

Jon Cleary draws an analogy: “It’s like having a radioon in the background.”

“If you start playing music when you’re young. … I thinkit molds your brain in a certain way - in a good way. I need

to play music, it’s a mental function and a bodily function.I’ve been doing it for so many years and I started so youngthat even when I don’t have an instrument in my hands themusic’s still going on. If I have an instrument then at leasteverybody else can hear what the music is doing, but themusic doesn’t stop when I walk away from the instrument,”explains the keyboardist, vocalist, guitarist and songwriter.

For Cleary the music continuously running through himis steeped in the rich traditions of New Orleans, a place he’scalled home for the last 35 years. Born and raised in theUnited Kingdom in Cranbrook, Kent, as soon as he was oldenough, in 1980, he hightailed it to the Crescent City. Thedraw had been the result of the influence of his musical fam-ily, including his uncle who, after visiting Louisiana, returned

with suitcases full of local 45s, which Cleary couldn’t getenough of.

“It’s a great place to be from musically. You’re not limitedto playing traditional New Orleans music, but if you comefrom New Orleans, or if you grew up in New Orleans like Idid, it stamps an imprint on what you do. It doesn’t matterwhat music you play … there’s just a certain joie de vivre thatcomes through in the folk music of New Orleans, which isjazz, and funk, and rhythm and blues, and it informs how youplay everything else,” he says, reached Monday by the NorthShore News in Ottawa.

Cleary is in the midst of a busy North American and

European tour, dedicatedto spreading “the gospel ofgood New Orleans rhythmand blues,” he says. Thetour will bring him to NorthVancouver Sunday nightfor a performance at theBlueShore Financial Centrefor the Performing Artsat Capilano University, inpartnership with the TDVancouver International JazzFestival, on now throughSunday. Supporting Clearyon the tour are membersof his band the AbsoluteMonster Gentleman, includ-ing A.J. Hall on drums andCornell Williams on bass.

Cleary goes on to explainthat in New Orleans a lot ofemphasis is placed on beingan artisan and honing yourcraft in addition to just beinga musician.

“It’s not just perfunctoryplaying of music, or readingmusic from a piece of paper,it’s a city full of eccentriccharacters and it’s requiredthat your playing has person-ality as well as just the nutsand bolts,” he says.

When looking at NewOrleans through the lens ofthe European perspective ofwhere he started out, it’s asmall city with a relativelyshort history.

“For a city that’s onlybeen in existence for a fewhundred years and it’s sosmall, it’s generated so muchgood music and music withsuch power to move people.The music from that littlecity changed the way peopleplay music all over theworld. Jazz was the ethnicfolk music of New Orleans. It

had such an appeal beyondits city limits that it wasembraced by the rest of theUnited States in the 1920sand in the 1930s and 40s andthe post-war years it becamehugely popular all over theworld and it changed theway people played music.American music becamepredominant.

“I think if you grow upin New Orleans you growup surrounded by all kindsof different music and notnecessarily all of it typicallyNew Orleans music. It’s oneof those parts of the worldwhere music is an essentialpart of your social activity,it’s a soundtrack to yourdaily life down there. Everygeneration in New Orleanstakes what the previousgenerations have done andadds something new to it. Soyou have not just traditionalDixieland jazz but you havethe rhythm and blues fromthe ’40s and ’50s and youhave the funk from the ’60sand ’70s too and it coversquite a wide spectrum. So ifyou can move around in allthose circles and you’re flu-ent in those dialects then it’sgood grounding for playinganything really,” he says.

2016 has been a bigyear for Cleary. While he’sreceived countless awardsand accolades over theyears, this year marked hisfirst Grammy Award win,honoured for best regionalroots music album for his2015 release GoGo Juice. Therecord was a follow to 2012’sOccapella, which was anexperiment of sorts seeinghim rearrange composi-tions by the late great New

Orleans musician, song-writer and arranger AllenToussaint.

“Having made a recordof somebody else’s songs Iwas ready to do a record ofmy tunes. They’re all originalcompositions, some writtenespecially for the record,some were songs that I’vehad sitting around in note-books and on cassette tapesand hard drives for severalyears. If you’re a songwriterI think you should write allthe time,” he says.

Cleary is grateful forthe opportunity GoGoJuice afforded, giving himthe chance to work withToussaint before his recentpassing.

“I’ve admired his stuffsince I was a kid. My unclefirst handed me an AllenToussaint record when I wasabout 10 and said, ‘I thinkyou should listen to this.’He’s been a part of so manygreat records that I really,really liked, records that theDNA of the music fit me per-fectly. I’ve admired him froma distance but he was alwaysthere. A very shy person, notunapproachable, but veryprivate, so I never got toknow him that well.

“I’ve heard from hisfamily that he really dugthe record that I made andI think his way of express-ing that was when I askedhim if he was interested indoing horns, he said yes andhe loved the material andhe did all the horn arrange-ments for me for nothing,which was a very kindgesture. It’s an honour tohave his name on a recordof mine,” he says.

Samuel L. Jackson and Alexander Skarsgard star in David Yates’ remake of The Legend ofTarzan. PHOTO SUPPLIED

CGI updatemodernizestalewith historical facts!TheLegendofTarzan.DirectedbyDavidYates.StarringAlexanderSkarsgard,MargotRobbie,ChristophWaltzandSamuelL. Jackson.Rating:7 (outof 10)

JULIE CRAWFORDContributing writer

If the Tarzan you remem-ber is accompaniedby the strains of a PhilCollins song, it’s defi-nitely time to brush upon your bushman.

Before the sanitized1999 Disney version, formerOlympic swimmer JohnnyWeissmuller went through hisshare of loincloths, churningout a dozen Tarzan films inthe 1930s and ‘40s. In thosepre-SecondWorldWar years,Tarzan battled the Nazisand visited New York with avariety of Janes, starting withMaureen O’Sullivan.

It’s high time there wasnew blood to play the heroof 24 novels by Edgar RiceBurroughs, not to mentiona contemporary context.Enter Alexander Skarsgard

(of TV’s True Blood), playing,among other things, a Tarzanhell-bent on exposing slaveryand slaughter in the so-called“dark continent” at the end ofthe 19th century.

We touch on the tradi-tional story in flashbacks,where Tarzan’s noble parentsdie/are killed and Tarzan(“white skin”) is raised by pro-tective mother ape Kala. Butthe story really begins with alately refined Tarzan living asnobleman John Clayton, LordGreystoke, with his belovedJane (Margot Robbie) inEngland.

Tarzan receives wordfrom GeorgeWashingtonWilliams (Samuel L. Jackson),an African-American soldierliving in the Congolese Basin,that Belgian colonists haveinstituted slavery and engagedin genocide. Tarzan reluctantlyreturns to the jungle accom-panied by Jane, whereuponhemeets Belgian envoy LeonRom (ChristophWaltz), abad guy in a white suit whokidnaps Jane in order to tryto persuade Tarzan to bend tohis colonial will. Plus there’s

a diamond deal in the offing,and Tarzan is part of thebloody package.

This is not a plot conceitbut a historical truth: before1870 most of the African conti-nent was ruled by indigenousqueens and kings; less than 50years later almost the entirecontinent was under whiterule.

Belgium’s King LeopoldII (first cousin of England’sQueen Victoria, by the way)sent an invasion force andclaimed the Congo Basinfor himself, establishing theCongo Free State, which wasanything but free. Great wealthwas the goal and ivory andrubber were the exploitednatural resources of the day.Village women were heldhostage while the men wereforced to tap the rubber treesdeep in the jungle: the forcedlabour, resulting starvationand plummeting birth rate,caused the population of theCongo to crash from 20millionto 10 million in just 40 years.

Native artwearfor every bodyCHRISTINE [email protected]

As makers of apparel inspiredby traditional NorthwestCoast art, the staff at EdzerzaGallery are often asked thequestion: “Is it OK if I wearthese clothes and I’m notnative?”

“Our answer is always,‘Absolutely,’” says CharleneJohnny-Wadsworth, who managesthe company’s online store. “We’veturned our marketing around in thelast six months to gear it towardeverybody.”

The brand’s tagline, “Nativeartwear made for every body,”holds double meaning. Not onlyare customers of all backgroundsencouraged to buy and wear thegarments, but many of the piecesare available up to size 5XL toaccommodate a wide range of bodytypes.

Edzerza Gallery was founded in2007 by West Vancouver residentAlano Edzerza, who belongs to theRaven Clan of the Tahltan Nationand has a studio on the NorthShore.

“My mandate as a young busi-ness owner is to not only continueto succeed in running my ownbusiness, but to grow and be ableto show other artists, native andnon-native alike, that we all cancreate successful business fromour talents,” he is quoted on hiswebsite.

Edzerza has been making artsince his youth and, at 21, beganstudying under the mentorship offamily member and fellow Tahltanartist Terrence Campbell. He laterlearned how to make jewelry in

Arizona under the instructionof Navajo jeweller Ric Charlie.Over the years he’s worked withrenowned First Nations artists suchas Jay Simeon, Marcel Russ, PhilipGray, Corey Bulpitt, Beau Dick,Mark Preston and Dempsey Bob.He also did a three-year apprentice-ship with Haida jewelry carver RickAdkins.

Today, Edzerza is an accom-plished multimedia artist whoworks in a variety of mediumsincluding pencil, acrylic, glass andwood. He’s completed major instal-lation projects and his work hasbeen shown in both solo and groupexhibits in Canada and abroad.

During the 2010 WinterOlympics, Edzerza was commis-sioned by VANOC to create alarge-scale glass installation atRogers Arena. He also designed theouterwear for the Dutch Olympicteam.

Building on his foundationin Northwest Coast art, Edzerzabegan silkscreening his designsonto clothing for men, women andchildren and also launched a col-lection of laser-cut sterling silverjewelry.

Johnny-Wadsworth saysEdzerza’s apparel line is based ontraditional First Nations imag-ery, but he puts his own twist oneverything.

“He’s looking for inspirationeverywhere, all of the time,”she says, listing Japanese animeand pop art among his moderninfluences.

Currently, Johnny-Wadsworth says

Edzerza’s sales are focused mainlyin Canada and the United States, butevery now and then a buyer from NewZealand, Japan or Europe might make apurchase. With the hopes of expandingthe company’s reach, Edzerza travelledto Europe last fall with his art andfashion in tow.

“He’s trying to reach a world-wide market right now,” saysJohnny-Wadsworth.

TUTSprepares forsummerof fun in thepark

! Theatre Under the Starspresents Disney’s Beautyand the Beast andWest SideStory, July 6 toAug. 20 at theMalkin Bowl in Stanley Park.Tickets: $30-$45 at tuts.ca or1-877-840-0457.

CHRISTINE [email protected]

Lauren Gula was frozenon stage.

It was 2011, she wasperforming in the TheatreUnder the Stars produc-tion of Bye Bye Birdie atthe Malkin Bowl, and thedirection called for her toremain perfectly still for anextended period. It wasn’tan ideal time for unwelcomedistractions.

“I remember beingattacked by a gigantic moth,”says the North Vancouverresident, who, as it so hap-pens, is not a fan of bugs. “Itwas kind of difficult to stayfrozen when there was ahuge moth flapping around.”

Meddlesome moths,pesky mosquitoes, suddendownpours and wanderingraccoons are all hazards thatcome with hosting a showon at the outdoor MalkinBowl stage at Stanley Park.Fortunately, with two priorTUTS productions under herbelt (she also did Thoroughly

Modern Millie in 2009),Gula is ready to handleany weather or wildlife

challenges that may comeher way when she appears inDisney’s Beauty and the Beast

this summer.“I know you have to

be prepared for anything

weather-wise, that’s for sure.Rain or shine we perform,”she says, but adds that shedoesn’t mind a few sprinkles.The crowd might be smalleron wet nights, she admits,but their spirits are alwayshigh. “I actually really likeit when it rains because theaudience is just really happyto be there, they’re all wear-ing their ponchos, they’rehaving a great time.”

For the 2016 TUTS season,Gula is playing Babette, aFrench maid who has beenturned into a feather dusterunder the same spell thattransformed the youngprince at the heart of thefairy tale into the titularBeast. Babette is the loveinterest of Lumiere, the maî-tre d’-turned-candelabra.

“She’s just a really funcharacter, she’s very sassyand feisty and lots of fun toplay.”

Gula was still being fittedfor her costume this week,but says her getup will likelyconsist of a corset, skirt, highheels, and plenty of feathersthat will accentuate the flirta-tious bounce in her step.

“The physical aspect of ithas been lots of fun,” she says.

This production staystrue to the 1991 Disney film,though the stage versionincludes some new musi-cal numbers on top ofAlan Menken and HowardAshman’s songs from themovie.

“It’s just kind of filled outa little bit for the musical ver-sion,” Gula says. “It definitelytells the same story, it’s gotall the songs that everyoneloves to hear, that everyone

knows.”Those include “Tale as

Old as Time,” “Gaston,” and“Be Our Guest” – the latterbeing Gula’s favourite num-ber to perform.

“I love ‘Be Our Guest.’ It’slots of fun, it’s a huge dancenumber, lots of costumes,lots of magical elements toit.”

Gula grew up in WestVancouver, graduated fromWest Vancouver secondaryand studied musical theatreat Capilano University (thenCollege) from 2005 to 2008.Though she since went backto school to pursue a careerin early childhood educa-tion, she still finds time toperform on stage and countsDisney’s Beauty and the Beastamong her favourite gigs todate.

“It’s just such a classicstory and I think that the pro-duction we have is extremelystrong. We have amazingpeople in our cast, we havean amazing directing team,the set is awesome, there’ssome really cool magicalelements that I think theaudience is going to love. It’sjust a super fun show and it’sgreat for families,” she says.

Disney’s Beauty and theBeast runs in repertory withWest Side Story, a reimaginingof the Romeo and Juliet storyset in 1950s New York wheretwo rival street gangs areembroiled in a turf war anda pair of young lovers arecaught in the middle. NorthVancouver resident andrecent Capilano Universitygrad Jennifer Lynch willmake her TUTS debut in therole of Velma.

Beauty and the Beast is the third Theatre Under the Stars production North Shore actor LaurenGula has appeared in. She has also performed in Thoroughly Modern Millie (2009) and Bye ByeBirdie (2011). PHOTO SUPPLIED

up to teach the native people(including Djimon Hounsouas Chief Mbonga) and the ani-mals of the jungle how to fightback against their oppressors,while Jane plots her escapefrom Rom. Skarsgard is anable Tarzan, considering howfar we’ve come since the “meTarzan, you Jane” days. Jane ismodernized, too: “I’m not yourdamsel,” she tells CaptainRom, when he politely asksher to scream for him.

David Yates, director ofthe final four Harry Potterfilms is at the helm of this

sobering partially-true storyshot in England and Gabon. Hecoaxes decent performancesout of his lead actors but asthis is a holiday-weekendblockbuster, the vine-riding,wildebeest stampeding,man-and-beast battling is ofparamount importance. Theaction, overall, is swing-ingly satisfying, consideringthe jungle creatures are allcomputer generated. Andif you happen to do a littlehistorical research on GeorgeWashingtonWilliams or theButcher of the Congo after thefilm’s call-of-the-jungle cry diesdown, so much the better.

Nearly everyone wouldlove to drive around in alittle red convertible ona sunny day.

Zip up the Sea to Sky,grab a coffee in Squamishand head out into the wild.However, here comes thespectre of Real Adult Life tointervene: kids to haul, DIYprojects around the house,the commute, endless rain.

But don’t worry, saysMazda, we’ve gotcha

covered. If what you’recraving is a little drivingpleasure, but you’ve gotto use the practical side ofyour brain, then there’s thenew CX-9, a three row cross-over. It’s just as much fun asa Miata. We promise.

Whoa, there, Mazda.That’s a bit of a stretch. I’mwilling to accept that somecrossovers can pull surpris-ing performance out of ablend of big horsepower and

wide tires (see: BMW X5M,Porsche Cayenne Turbo),but the lightness and deli-cacy of the world’s favouriteroadster? We shall see.

DESIGNEven if you don’t care

much about zippiness,it must be admitted thatMazda’s design depart-ment continues to excel.The CX-9 is the last ofthe lineup to get the full

refresh treatment, and thework they’ve done is juststunning.

Compare this to some-thing like the Lexus RX350,and the Mazda makes theluxury brand offering lookoverwrought. Both have biggrilles, but the CX-9 seemsto flow backward from itssignature element, repre-senting a cohesive shape.It looks long and low fromalmost any angle, with a

stretched out nose thatmakes it look like there’sa bit of RX-7 DNA mixed inthere.

The one misstep, andthis is typical of Mazda, isthat they appear to havedesigned the car around the20-inch alloys of the top-level Signature model. Themid-level trims get 18-inchalloys, and it looks a bit

CX-9adds somespice to adult lifeMazda says the new CX-9 crossover is just as fun to drive as a Miata. They can probably pump the brakes a little bit on that claim, but if you need a practical people mover, the CX-9 will allowyou to haul family around while still leaving room for some zoom. The CX-9 is available at Morrey Mazda in the Northshore Auto Mall. PHOTO CINDY GOODMAN

small for the sheet metal.The 20s look great, butreplacement and snow tiresare still expensive for them.Maybe they could have splitthe difference at 19s?

ENVIRONMENTJust as good inside as

it is out, the CX-9 basicallybridges the gap betweena mainstream brand andluxury. It’s not quite anAcura or a Lexus, but then,it doesn’t cost what anAcura or Lexus does.

Materials are excellent,the fit and finish is verygood, and of particular noteis the use of genuine woodtrim instead of artificial-looking laminates. The restof the cabin will be veryfamiliar to Mazda ownersseeking an upgrade fromtheir CX-5 or Mazda3, withthat same driver-centric feelyou get from the rest of theMazda range.

Having said that, justlike the CX-3, the stylinghas tweaked the practical-ity somewhat. The CX-9 ismore compact in cargo areathan something like a ToyotaHighlander, especially in thetight third row. Sliding the

middle rows forward to getaccess to that third row isalso something only an adultcan really do – the slidingmechanism is a bit heavy.

However, the middlerow seats are really quiteroomy for the class. Ratherthan being a pure kid-hauler,the CX-9 is laid out like amachine for hauling olderfamilies around, ones withtaller children that need

more second-row space.

PERFORMANCEOn paper, the CX-9 is cer-

tainly like the MX-5, in thata reduction in horsepowercalls for a little explanation.In both cases, turning downthe wick on peak power hasresulted in efficiency boosts,and happily both are still funto drive.

The CX-9’s power plant

represents a big change,but not an unexpected one.Mazda was having to buildthe old V-6 on its own pro-duction line, while all otherglobal engines were builton the other four-cylinderline. Thus, the CX-9 nowgets a four-cylinder that’ssimilar to the one you get inyour CX-5. Except that it’s

Canadians goose up LeManswinner

BrakingNewsBrendan McAleer

A biweekly roundup ofautomotive news, good,bad and just plain weird:

CANADA WINS LE MANS.SORT OF.

On July 1, it seems onlyappropriate to acknowledgethe fact that the world’s pre-miere endurance race showedthat the true North strongand free sure knows how tobuild some serious racingmachines. If you want to goout for a pretty good rip therebud, we gotcha covered, eh?

Returning to Le Mans aftera lengthy hiatus, Ford wasable to celebrate a convincingwin as their Ford GT domi-nated the day, and endedup parked atop the podium.Once again, rivals like AstonMartin, Corvette, and Ferraristood vanquished by the blueoval. Their secret weapon? Alittle maple syrup infusion.

You see, the twin-turboFord GT is actually built inMarkham by Multimatic, anexperienced composite mate-rials specialist. Multimaticfields cars in several racingseries, but this is the big time.Toyota, with their huge R&Dbudget and enormous racingexperience stretching backdecades, saw their lead cardie with just a single lap to go.

So, wave the flag alittle harder this weekend,in the spirit of Moore andVilleneuve. We may be abunch of puck-chasing hos-ers, but at least we know yougotta finish your checks ifyou’re gonna finish first, eh?

THE BLACKBIRD CANBECOME ANY CAR

Imagine being a modern

automotive manufacturershooting a commercial. Whatcolour is best? What if youwant to show off the mid-leveltrims as well as the one withthe big wheels? What if yousuddenly need to upgradethe commercial to the 2017version?

Enter the Blackbird.Built in the same hangar asthe CIA’s SR-71 (hence thename), the Blackbird is asort of electric-powered go-kart that can use computergraphics to become any sortof car at all.

Think of it like a wheeledversion of a motion-capturebodysuit. Thanks to laserscanning, an adjustable chas-sis, and a body structured tomeld with CGI, the Blackbirdcan transform on-screento become anything from aChevy Spark to a BMW X6.It runs on electricity, so themotors can be tweaked toemulate a front-wheel-drive,all-wheel-drive, or rear-driveconfiguration.

Basically, it’s a shape-shifting car. That next carcommercial you see might betrickery – and you’d neverknow.

IRISH FOOTBALL HOOLI-GANS REPAIR CAR

It’s been a tough weekto be British. If you’re Irish,though, things could hardlybe better. Your team is in theEuropean football cup, theBrits just got trounced byIceland of all places, whilethe boys in green are doingwell for themselves.

Buoyed by high spirits, agroup of Irish fans ran amokthrough Lyon, France, andcame across a car with abadly dented roof (perhapsby other exuberant fans). Sothey decided to fix it.

First, the fans tried to jammoney through the windows,by way of apology. Then, theybegan trying to bang out thedent, shouting and cheering.

And then – and thissort of thing only happensto Irish people – the dentsuddenly popped out, goodas new. Everyone cheered,and then wandered off to amatch where Ireland beatItaly for the first time in along while. If Brexit is ruiningyour portfolio, buy stocks inpotatoes and marshmallowhorseshoes.

JAY LENO NEARLY DIESIt was a terrifying crash.

Headed out for a ride-alongin the well-known wheelie-car

Hemi Under Glass, comic andcar fan Jay Leno suddenlyfound himself turning anunexpected barrel roll.

With 2,500 horsepower ontap, bad things happen fast.The drag racer first lifted,and then flipped when it hita bump in the tarmac. Lenowas quick to draw his armin and good thing too – thespin was violent and harshenough that a replacementchassis will be needed.

Thanks to a hefty roll-cage, everyone walked awayfrom the classic PlymouthBarracuda without injury.Still, that sort of thing isenough to have you soil yourall-denim Canadian Tuxedo.

ELECTRIC CARS RULE ATPIKES PEAK

I had a chance to run upPikes Peak a few weeks backin a turbocharged Macan.Even with the forced induc-tion, the thin air is enough tohave any normal combustionengine gasping.

The historical solutionhas been boost, and lots of it;the more futuristic approachis to simply go electric. Thisyear, the electric approachtook off, with Rhys Millen’s e0electric running up the hill inless than nine minutes.

The course record stands

at 8:13, from Sebastien Loeb’sinhuman effort in 2013, butit’s notable that the electric-powered machines arestarting to get close. Mostnotably, an all-electric ver-sion of the Acura NSX simplytrounced the hybrid version,posting a time in the nine-minute range.

Turbocharging was bornatop Pikes Peak, a powersolution brought about bythe requirements of theaviation industry. Soon, thesprint could be more aboutthe flexibility and altitude-proof nature of the electricmotor.

TOP GEAR STARTSGRINDING

As the world’s biggestautomotive TV program, thenew Top Gear has a lot tolive up to. Thus far it’s beenhit and miss, and more missthan hit.

The latest blow comesin the form of a rumour thatex-Friends star Matt LeBlancis prepared to leave if hisco-star Chris Evans doesn’tleave first. Evans has beenpanned by critics and fansalike, thanks to his noisy,abrasive style on camera.

Meanwhile, the well-known crew of May, Clarkson,and Hammond are readying

their Grand Tour, a newseries that will focus on thetrio’s adventures around theworld. It was always aboutthe people anyway, but newTop Gear could still prevail.They just need Chris Harris, arunway, and a bunch of extrarear tires.

THE VIPER HISSES ITSLAST

Consider this less a newsitem than an appeal. TheDodge Viper is about to endproduction, and I’ve nevereven sat in one, let alonedriven one.

That’s a great shame. Iget the feeling that Dodge’smassive-engine, manual-onlymachine will emphaticallybe the last of its kind. Theywon’t ever make anythinglike this again. It’ll probablybe illegal.

So, if you’ve got one,I’d love a chance to spewsome hydrocarbons in a lasthurrah to a last-of-breedspecial. Shoot me a line andI’ll pay you back in six-packs. Somehow, that seemsappropriate.

on regular-grade fuel and250 h.p. on premium, thenew 2.5-litre turbo-fouris down more than a fewponies over the old V-6.Happily, it’s way up onusable torque, with 310 foot-pounds of grunt availablefrom very low revs. That’sgood news: an MX-5 is thekind of car you wring out toredline, but a crossover getsdriven at a trot more than agallop.

The six-speed automaticis a conventional gearbox,but one that makes the mostof the gutsy turbochargedtorque for excellent off-the-line acceleration. Bombingup the Sea to Sky, powerlevels dropped as revs andspeed increased, but in thesub-4,000 r.p.m. level thatmost crossover owners willspend 99 per cent of theirdriving day using, the CX-9is better than adequate.

And where it reallyshines is in how it handles.Again, you’re not going tofling this thing around like alittle two-seater roadster –not unless you want to endup scrubbing the carpetswhen your passengerseject their lunches. But theCX-9’s direct steering andcontrolled feel impart driverconfidence, and a bit of fun.

Moving from the V-6 tothe inline-four has shed alot of weight off the nose,and there are further weightsavings in everything fromthe all-wheel-drive system tothe chassis. AWD models aresome 100 kilograms lighterthan the previous model,and the CX-9 feels light onits feet as a result.

In short, it drives like aMazda. Fans of the brandwill not be disappointed,even if they’ve got to wait afew more years for an emptynest and a chance to gettheir summertime droptop.

FEATURESThe fully loaded

Signature model for theCX-9 comes with every-thing from a proper digitalheads-up-display to satellitenavigation. The latter, andthe rest of the infotainment,is about the same as you getin other Mazda products.It’s functional, but doesn’twow. For mid-level models,the tech is fine. For theSignature’s $52,295, therebetter be an electronicsupdate coming in the nextlittle while.

Turbocharging alwaysreturns worse fuel economyresults in the real worldthan on paper, and the CX-9is the first Mazda I’ve driventhat doesn’t easily hit its tar-gets. Official figures are 11.2(litres/100 kilometres) cityand 8.8 highway. In mostlyhilly highway use, the CX-9returned a little worse thanthe city rating.

GREEN LIGHTLight, balanced, well-con-

trolled drive; strong low-endgrunt; excellent stylinginside and out.

STOP SIGNThird row seating is

cramped; 20-inch tires ontop level will be expensivereplacements; infotainmentis due for an upgrade.

THE CHECKERED FLAGNothing is as much fun as

an MX-5, but if you’ve got tobe practical, this is as closeas it gets.

CompetitionHONDA PILOT ($35,590)

While it’s not quite thedancer the CX-9 is, the Pilotis surprisingly nimble forsuch a large machine. Now asort of biggish CR-V, the new

Pilot is less of a truck thanthe old squared-off version.It’s not exactly stunningin the styling department,but practicality is there inspades.

And if the CX-9 isintended to appeal to par-ents of older kids, the Pilotis more of a Honda Odysseydressed up in outdoor gear.There are lots of clever

touches to the interior – thesliding middle row seats,for instance, have a buttonmounted low enough forlittle kids to reach – andthere’s a great deal of space

and cargo room on offer. TheCX-9, on the other hand, isalmost as nice as an AcuraMDX, for much the sameprice as the [email protected]

The fit and finish inside the MX-9 is very good, including a genuine wood trim that far outstrips the artificial-looking laminatesyou’ll find in most competing CUVs. The cabin has the driver-centric feel found in most Mazdas. PHOTO CINDY GOODMAN
