If the easy part was coming upwith the question, the tough partbegins with the sale.On Thursday, Metro Vancouver

mayors approved a transit refer-endum question asking residents

whether they support a 0.5-per-centhike in the provincial sales tax tofund a major transportation plan.The tax increase is expected to

cost the average Metro Vancouverhomeowner $128 a year.The question still needs to be

approved by the province before areferendum, which is expected to be

held in the spring, can be set.CoquitlamMayorRichardStewart

argued the region needs the sig-nificant investment in transporta-tion, adding doing nothing is notan option.He also said themayors plan for a

PST increase is the cheapest alterna-tive for residents.

Though the mayor suggested resi-dents are always concerned aboutincreased costs, he said he intendsto make the case that municipalitieswill be left to make transit improve-ments individually, which will beeven more costly.We have some work to do to

make sure everyone understands

the choices before us, and I reallybelieve once people understandthose choices they will supportthese investments, Stewart told theTri-Cities NOW on Thursday, follow-ing the mayors vote.The Mayors Council on Regional

It was an icy night last Dec.11 when the Mossom CreekHatchery, a Port Moody insti-tution, was reduced to rubbleby a fire.The inferno destroyed 37

years of work put in at thehatchery, and left found-ers and volunteers with thedaunting task of rebuilding.But one year later, the fire

is becoming a distant mem-ory. The community has ral-lied around the rebuildingcause, donating money andtime to help resurrect a newand improved hatchery.Ruth Foster, one of the

hatcherys founders, said shedidnt realize just how muchthe community valued thehatchery.We feel grateful every day

for the way the communityhas embraced us and the sup-port weve had from every-one, she told the Tri-CitiesNOW on the eve of the one-year anniversary of the fire.

In a year, the Burrard InletMarine Enhancement Society(BIMES), which operatesthe hatchery, has taken thesite from almost nothing to anearly complete facility.The ground floor is just

about complete and shouldbe ready to receive chum eggswithin a couple of weeks.The next step will be to

focus on the top floor of the

2,600-square-foot facility,which will provide meetingspace and an educationalcomponent.Covering the cost for the

million-dollar project hasbeen a community effort,with dozens of individual,corporate and governmentdonations aiding the facility.There has also been an

untold amount of in-kind

support through labour andmaterials, like the workoffered by Patrick Dennett.The retired Port Moody

man is in charge of the recon-struction, putting his exper-tise in the building industryto good use. Construction is amonth ahead of schedule andthe facility should be com-plete by April.Dennett said he remem-

bered seeing the lights fromtheemergencycrewsrespond-ing to the fire last December.When he heard about thedamage, he decided to stepup to help rebuild, and hasdonated around 1,500 hoursof his time to the project.I wanted to do something

for the community and thisis in my comfort zone, heexplained, adding the projecthas been a full-time endeav-our for the last year.While Dennett noted there

have been plenty of chal-lenges in putting the projecttogether in such a short time,hes confident the results willbe worthwhile.

This tragedy has led to arebuild of a lot bigger facilitywith a lot more functions andcapability that we can do somuch more for our commun-ity [with], he said.Though construction is

nearing completion, TracyGreen, director of fundraisingfor BIMES, said the organ-ization still needs funds forongoing maintenance costs.Its looking for sponsors to

help in that area.She likened the push for

funding to a modern-daybarn raising, noting kids haveemptied their piggy banks,while large corporations likeLafarge have donated all theconcrete for the structure.We didnt think a year ago

right after the fire, we wouldbe where were at today, shesaid.Thats a sentiment echoed

by Port Moody Mayor MikeClay, who was at the scene ofthe fire that night.He suggested while the

destruction was sad becauseit destroyed the patchwork

of volunteer efforts that builtthe original hatchery, thenew building will give theorganization greater oppor-tunities in the future.Its a very different con-

cept, but still delivers theidea of the volunteers andall the hard work they do,Clay said.As for Foster, she sees the

new version of the hatch-ery she started with fellowCentennial Secondary biol-ogy teacher Rod MacVicarin 1976 being enjoyed by amuch larger group of people.It is crucial to a commun-

ity to have facilities like thisthat help connect people tonature, she said.To celebrate the one-year

milestone, BIMES is host-ing a holiday open house onSunday, Dec. 21 from 10:30a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Visitors willtour the building site and areasked to bring a donation forthe local food bank.For more on the hatchery

Reggio Influenced Program Application Process

WHAT IS THE REGGIO PROGRAM?At Meadowbrook, the Reggio Influenced approach has several guiding principles:The Image of the Child: Children are viewed as powerful, capable and resourceful.Emergent Curriculum: Because we are a BC public school, we are guided by the BC Ministry of Education Curriculum; thedelivery of this curriculum is based on the natural curiosities of children.Sometimes it will emerge from the childrens interests or may also be sparked by the teacher strategically putting out aprovocation to see how the children respond or by posing inquiry based questions that deepen learning andunderstanding.

PROJECTWORK: In-depth studies that develop out of childrens ideas, questions, and interests are part of the ReggioInfluenced classroom. Projects may last for short or extended periods of time and may involve individuals, small groupsor the whole class. With teacher support, children choose what materials to use to support their explorations and how toresearch, share and re-represent their learnings.

REPRESENTATIONAL DEVELOPMENT: The arts are important in Reggio influenced practice and are often integrated intodaily activities to maximize childrens development.

THE ROLE OF THE ENVIRONMENT: Careful consideration is given to the look and feel of the classroom environment.Classrooms are organized for small, medium and large group project work and with neutral colours, natural materialsand calming lighting.

DOCUMENTATION: Childrens learning becomes visible through regular documentation. Teachers photograph children inaction and they record their words to describe their learning experience. This documentation is revisited by students,parents and teachers to assess learning and guide practice.

PARENT INVOLVEMENT AND SENSE OF COMMUNITY: Parents input is invited to support student engagement andlearning and parents are invited to share their expertise and passions with the school community. Educators worktogether with children, families, and community partners/members to create a strong identity and interconnectednessthat supports all learners.

OUR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT: The world outside our doors is a key element of the Reggio Influenced program atMeadowbrook. Students are outdoors on a daily basis, rain or shine, to explore and learn from the richness of our naturalenvironment.

SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING: The best learning emerges in the context of supportive relationships that make learningchallenging, engaging and meaningful. At Meadowbrook we explicitly teach skills to help students monitor and managetheir own emotions and to become aware of others emotions.

More details have comeout related to the arrest of

a Coquitlam teen alleged tobe behind several swattingincidents in Florida.Swatting involves mak-

ing a hoax call to police about

a fake emergency in order tobring out a SWAT team.According to a press release

issued Wednesday, RCMParrested the 17-year-old boyin Coquitlam on Friday, Dec.5 related to three incidents ofswatting in Polk County, Fla.Police said the incidents all

relate to calls made to thePolk County Sheriffs Officereporting a critical incidentin progress. Each precipitateda significant police response,and each proved false.This young mans crimin-

al acts tied up police resour-ces that could have beendeployed to actual emergen-cies and severely impact-ed the sense of safety andsecurity of everyone living inthe communities of WinterHaven and Fort Meade, saidRCMP Sgt. Annie Linteau,spokesperson for the LowerMainland District RCMP.False reports of critical

incidents are very serious andpotentially very dangerous.Thats why police proceedwith investigations againstthose involved.The youth, who cannot be

named because hes under18, is charged with one countof extortion, three counts ofpublicmischief and one countof breach of recognizance.Hes being held in custodyuntil his next court appear-

ance on Dec. 18.Before being arrested in

relation to the Florida inci-dents, RCMP said the sameyouth pleaded guilty to twocounts of criminal harass-ment in relation to an inci-dent that occurred in NorthVancouver in October 2013and an unrelated incidentthat occurredin Waterloo,Ont.inJanuary2014. In bothincidents, theyouth is said tohave harassedyoung womenhe met online.He will appearin court for as e n t e n c i n ghearing relat-ed to thosecharges inJanuary.The Coquitlam RCMPs

Major Crimes Unit is investi-gating additional allegationsinvolving the youth, andmore charges are expected.The following is an excerpt

from a Polk County SheriffsOffice press release issuedDec. 9: The investigation began

in September 2014, when anunidentified male called thePCSO TelecommunicationsCenter and said he was goingto drive to Fort Meade High

School in a black van andshoot everyone. The samecaller called Fort Meade CityHall with the same informa-tion. Law enforcement quick-ly responded to the school,placed the school on lock-down,andspent severalhourssearching for an armed sus-pect. Detectives assigned to

the investiga-tion identifiedthe suspect asa Canadianyouth com-mun i c a t i n gonline witha Fort Meadejuvenile wit-ness. TheC a n a d i a nsuspect toldthe juvenilewitness I amgoing to Swatyour school,

just prior to the phone call. In October 2014, the sus-

pect again told the witnesshe was going to swat herschool (Fort Meade School)via e-mail. The suspect thensent an e-mail to Fort MeadeHigh School saying he wasgoing to blow everyone up.Again, a large police pres-ence was sent to the schooland the school was placed onlockdown until the threat wasidentified. Detectives deter-mined the hoax e-mail was

sent by the same suspect. In November 2014, the

suspect swatted the wit-ness home in Winter Havenby placing a call to the PCSOTelecommunications Centerand telling the dispatcherthat he was inside a homein Winter Haven, he had justkilled his parents, and that hewould shoot any law enforce-ment officers who arrived.Several law enforcement offi-cers, including two canineunits and the PCSO helicop-ter, immediately respond-ed to the scene. When lawenforcement officers arrivedon scene, the juvenile witnesslocated inside the home toldthe officers that the incidentwas a swat hoax, and thedetectives already assignedto the Fort Meade swattinginvestigation added this inci-dent to their ongoing inves-tigation. In December 2014,

PCSO detectives contactedthe Mounties with the afore-mentioned informationand identity of the suspect.The Canadian suspect is anexperienced computer pro-grammer known to Canadianlaw enforcement authorities,and is on probation for simi-lar crimes in Canada. Oneof the conditions of his pro-bation is supervised use ofcomputers.

PP RT COQUITLAMRT COQUITLAMCITY OFCITY OF

British Columbia is the onlyprovince in Canada that doesnot have a Human RightsCommission. That makes usthe weakest province when itcomes to fostering human rights aware-ness and preventing discrimination.Currently B.C. only has a Human

Rights Tribunal, which mediates andadjudicates complaints about dis-crimination after it has occurred. Thetribunal does its job well. But the onusto identify and report human rightsviolations rests on individual BritishColumbians, who mustknow their rights, navi-gate the complaints pro-cess and handle the riskof failure. We know thatthe complaints that get tothe tribunal are only thetip of the iceberg, andthat many of the tougher,more systemic issues arenot resolved through indi-vidual complaints.For example, troubling

evidence has come tolight of abusive treat-ment of temporaryforeign workers andrecent immigrants in the food serviceand tree planting industries. Workershave been subjected to intimidationand sexual and racial harassment, andcoerced into using overcrowded andinadequate accommodation providedby the employer. These workers are toovulnerable and face too many obstacles including fear, financial need, lackof English fluency and isolation todeal with this discrimination on theirown. A Human Rights Commission ifwe had one could investigate, issuepublic guidelines that would provideinformation, education and protectionto both workers and employers, and

monitor the situation. Recent eventshave also heightened our awareness ofthe prevalence of sexual harassmentand violence against women. Our insti-tutions even sophisticated ones likethe University of B.C. (e.g. rape chantsand campus sexual assaults) and theCBC (Jian Ghomeshi) have yet toinstitute adequate practices and proto-cols that can prevent discriminationagainst women, and respond effectivelywhen it occurs. Because women oftendo not trust the police to help them,most do not report sexual assaults.

Again, a Human RightsCommission if we hadone could developstandards, protocols andsupports for employersand key service providerslike the police.The accommodation

of people with mental-health issues, and ofworkers who are alsocaring for children, par-ents or a disabled familymember, is an emergingpart of human rightslaw. A Human RightsCommission if we had

one could provide education, infor-mation and advice, so that complaintscould be avoided. Most employers,service providers and landlords want tocomply with human rights law. But rightnow, we provide little help or encour-agement.These are just a few examples of

how a commission could help advancehuman rights in British Columbia. Andthere is no shortage of other pressingissues a commission could help us dealwith: not enough supports for youthwith mental-health problems; race andsex bias in policing; the concentrationof Aboriginal, immigrant and racialized

women and youth in low-wage employ-ment; homelessness and lack of afford-able housing just to name a few.Without a commission, B.C. has no

public institution that can take stepsto prevent discrimination, educate thepublic, initiate inquiries on broad sys-temic issues, develop guidelines andpromote human rights compliance. Wedo not have the institutional machinerynecessary to make good on the statedpurpose of B.C.s Human Rights Code which includes to identify and elim-inate persistent patterns of inequalityand to prevent discrimination.Despite its importance, B.C.s human

rights system has had a volatile history.A commission was first formed in 1973,disbanded in 1984, later re-instituted,but disbanded again in 2002. Now eventhe truncated human rights system wehave left appears to be under review bythe provincial government, and may behollowed out even further by fundingcuts for advice and assistance to peoplewho take complaints to the tribunal.We should not be playing political

football with the human rights system.Governments need to be committedguarantors of human rights and sup-porters of strong, stable human rightssystems. Thats what British Columbianeeds now adequate resources foradvice and legal representation, and anew independent commission appointedby the Legislature that provides BritishColumbians with real tools to preventdiscrimination.

Its taken a long time to get to this point: MetroVancouver mayors have finally cobbled together aquestion they feel can solve the regional transit fund-ing mess.By a vote of 109-3, the mayors formed their refer-endum question on the issue of transit and transportation asking the public to raise funds through a 0.5-per-centincrease in the PST in Metro Vancouver.Now its a matter of whether voters will be moved by it.TransLink wants $7.5 billion for upgrades and expansion

to the current system, and proposals included new taxes orlevies on properties, vehicles and the PST increase.The proposed upgrades include replacing the Pattullo

Bridge and increased bus service at night and to newersuburbs. For the Tri-Cities, the proposal would fund 10new fleet vehicles, beefed-up bus service along a new B-Line route connecting Coquitlam Centre with points east,and an additional West Coast Express locomotive by 2024.Two levels of government provincial and municipal

have been locked in a feud in search of an exit and,on the surface, a 0.5-per-cent PST price tag seems almostdigestible.Its been an argument of who will pay and through

the mayors proposal, the bill will be spread around to asmany people as possible.The key component of transportation upgrades means

this isnt all about buses and subsidizing transit use which we dont see as a problem. Levies on licencesor property taxes leave too many people off the hook.Through the PST, everyone contributes, and those who areleast able to pay a lot should pay less.But the public may be feeling less goodwill these days

for TransLink, its creaky service model, expensive SkyTraingates and well-fed executives.We dont envy those politicians tasked with selling this

question. Considering all the problems around transit andother forms of transportation these days, taxpayers have aright to feel a lot like Grumpy Cat.

cheerful in his outlook? The wayhe tells it, were all stuck with bigoil and the cornucopia of bene-fits it has brought us, and so weshould really love it. Those of usconcerned with the bleak futureawaiting our children and grand-children, who worry that perhapsthe damage caused to the Earthby unfettered human pillagingfor hundreds of years, includingespecially that by the same oilindustry, have now gone too far,are just being ridiculous.How can we oppose the very

golden goose whose products weall enjoy and use? Arent we dis-ingenuous, no worse, in denial,seeing we actually depend onthis industry for our very lives?Havent we, moreover, lost trackof reality, chasing a romanticvision that is simply unattain-able? Heck, our very pensionsare at risk if we bite this handthat feeds us. Wow, Im gettingmore and more depressed.Maybe Keith Baldrey, and

others like him who like tobelieve they can stop contradic-

tion simply by tartly asking:If you really wanted to stopenvironmental degradation, whydont you put your money whereyour mouth is, and park yourcar? can get over this simplifi-cation, and see that a growingmass of people are already waybeyond him, and beyond thecaptains of industry (most ofall the oil industry) and beyondconservative governments. Theyare saying they have had enoughof smooth talk and no action,enough of the worlds resourcesbeing laid to waste for mere tem-porary gain of a very few (and aquickly balanced budget) whenthe price for that is the livesof the many. Correct me if Imwrong; they believe in humaningenuity, that many of the solu-tions to our environmental dilem-mas are already here, that evenif they are not perfect, we abso-lutely must begin now to create anew world of clean energy, thatthese new ways have real poten-tial to be equally profitable and,yes, all that is likely to take quitesome time.They look to those who have

the most power to do the mostto start this process, to step up tothe plate, to lead the way, to puttheir vast annual profits (speak-ing of billions) to work at making

that better, cleaner world real,to bring new systems into massproduction for the benefit of all.They look to politicians to putpressure on the money baronsand titans of our modern econ-omy to compel them if they willnot move voluntarily, instead offacilitating further devastation.Do we really want to trade waterfor oil, for instance?The power brokers arent lis-

tening, so people are standingup, just like at Clayoquot (exceptthis is bigger), not just for them-selves, but for our children andgrandchildren, because right nowthe world well be leaving themdoes not look very pretty. Theyreeven prepared to put themselveson the line, including losing outon benefits now enjoyed if that

is what it takes. Wouldnt this bea better plan than just stickingour heads in the sands and wait-ing for the inevitable disasters tocome?Speaking of unrealistic, does

Mr. Baldrey really think thateveryone is just going to drive, flyand buy less? And that will getus out of this fix? Trickle-downeconomics backwards, I guess.Oh, Im feeling that guilt too.Guilty consciences will certainlynot be assuaged by inaction whenit comes to the environment. But... not one step forward, eh? Theway he puts it, we should all justgo shopping in our oversizedvehicles, and the devil take thehindmost.

Im becoming a little bitmore gun shy in terms of put-ting out a date because if youhad asked me two monthsago I would have said, By theend of November this cross-ing should be opened, he

said. So I dont want to putout a date without any cer-tainty, but the City of NewWestminster is working hard.The contractor is out itsjust a matter of the workbeing completed and us beingable to open the bridge.The newly elected New

Westminster mayors time-line differs sharply from thatof Coquitlam Mayor RichardStewart.Stewart said the original

agreement between thetwo cities would have seenboth bridges completed andopened by Sept. 15. He also

suggested no work is beingdone on the bridge currently,and none has taken place fora couple of weeks.The project is entirely in

New Westminsters hands,he said. I would be muchmore comfortable if the con-struction was proceeding on

a day-to-day basis. But withnothing happening on site, itis frustrating.In July, a provincial arbi-

trator sided with Coquitlamsproposal toreplace theformer single-lane bridgewith a two-lane span.The dispute

over thebridgewas reignitedin February2013, whenthe span wasclosed aftercracks werefirst spottedon it.What followed was a back-

and-forth between both citiesuntil a decision was made toleave the issue in the handsof an arbitrator.

Despite the historical dis-agreement over the Baileybridge let alone othersquabbles over issues on thePortMann and Pattullo bridg-

es Cotebelieves thetwo cities canstill work col-laboratively.The cities

have had theirdisputes in thepast and thisBailey bridgehas obviouslybeen a sourceof contentionbetween thetwo cities,he said. But

were moving ahead with thearbitrators decision. I thinkboth cities recognize that wecan move forward on trans-portation issues together.

Man faces charges in lengthypolice chaseJeremy [email protected]

The man alleged to bebehind the wheel of a wild

car-theft spree through sev-eral Lower Mainland cities including Coquitlam isnow facing several chargesrelated to the incident.

Kenny Ottesen, 32, isfacing 14 charges related tothe Dec. 5 chase, which start-ed in Surrey, continued onto Coquitlam and Richmond,

and ended in Vancouver.He made an appearance

in Port Coquitlam provincialcourt on Wednesday, with hisnext appearance scheduled

for Dec. 17.According to police, the

incident began last Fridayafter 8 a.m. when a womancalled Surrey RCMP to report

that she had left her red 1995Honda Civic running in thedriveway of her house whileshe went inside to get a cof-fee. When she returned, hervehicle was gone.An hour later, Coquitlam

Mounties were called to areport of a theft of vehicle inprogress in the 700 block ofClearwater Way. The ownertold police a man had drivenup to that location at a highrate of speed and shouted athim to get out of his vehicleand leave the keys in the igni-tion.The suspect fled the area

in a 2008 red Kia, leavingbehind the stolen Civic.Shortly thereafter, witness-

es reported seeing the red Kiabeing driven erratically onHighway 1 through Burnaby.Police said it appears the

stolen vehicle was then driv-en through Vancouver beforebeing dumped in Richmond.The suspect then alleged-

ly got into a red BMW andwas seen driving erratic-ally in a number of areas ofRichmond.The stolen BMW was next

spotted heading over theKnight Street Bridge. The sus-pect was eventually appre-hended when the car col-lided with Vancouver policevehicles at the intersection ofFraser Street and SoutheastMarine Drive.The charges against

Ottesen include theft of amotor vehicle, five countsof dangerous operation of amotor vehicle, two counts ofrobbery, two counts of dis-guise with intent, and threecounts of hit-and-run andcausing a police pursuit.

Judy Shirra and Kerri Palmer-Isaak are the new leaders of theSchool District 43 board of trust-ees.Shirra was acclaimed board chair

at Tuesdays inaugural meeting,while Palmer-Isaak was acclaimedvice-chair. First elected in 1993,Shirra has served in the vice-chaircapacity for about a decade on andoff since that time.Thats why I wanted the role as

chair I want to do it differently,she said in an interview Thursday.And I also dont believe the role

of chair is exclusive. I believe itsa role that everybody around thattable needs to take ownership of,be a part of and at some point, do.Shirra doesnt expect too much

of a learning curve in her new role,and instead wants to take on moreof a mentorship role for the newtrustees. She also noted that thecurrent term will be her last.Weve got five new people and

[Barb Hobson] coming back and Iwant to mentor, she said. This ismy last term and I think its reallyimportant to mentor active voiceson the board.In her new role, Palmer-Isaak

will work alongside Shirra to final-ize agendas, help run meetings,liaise with staff and take on com-mittee work.She said her willingness to take

on the role of vice-chair is a reflec-tion of voters wanting to see changeat the trustee table.The public has really spoken in

putting six new trustees on to theboard and what they would like

to see is a combination of incom-ing, fresh ideas tempered with theexisting, experienced trustees andhaving some balance, she said.So I do believe the chair and the

vice-chair should be a reflection ofthat.Like the other new trustees, the

former Anmore councillor is freshoff a week of orientation work-shops and training to acclimatize toher new job.Right now Im just asking a lot

of questions, she said. The poli-cies and procedures that the boardfollows arent exactly the same asmunicipalities, so I am kind of find-ing my way through that part of itright now.The first formal board meeting

with the newly sworn-in trustees isscheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 16.

Hitting the right notewith gospelmusicJohn [email protected]

Singing has always takenRichard Marion to his happyplace.Whether as an escape from

life in the corporate world,or as a means to deal withtragedy, the Coquitlam nativehas turned to song for solace.A member of the Good

Noise Vancouver GospelChoir for seven years, Marionwill be paying those healingvibes forward at a Christmasconcert in Richmond onSunday, Dec. 14.The year I joined the choir

I lost a couple of close friendsdue to unexpected deaths,so I found [singing] to betherapeutic in that sense, hesaid. As well, I find that itsa good way to escape someof the every-day stresses oflife.At 45,

Marion hasbeen almosttotally blindfor his entirelife. But thatsnot to suggestits had muchof an impacton his sign-ing, a passionhes pursuedsince he wasin elemen-tary school.He doesntrequire sheet music to learnhis vocal parts, instead rely-ing on memorization to helphim get by.Generally, it hasnt had

an effect on me because itsalways forced me to be morevigilant about memorizingmusic as we get closer to per-formance times, he said. Inmy case, I hear somethingand its in my brain.Camaraderie was a big

factor in why Marion startedsinging.Gathering alongside others

was fulfilling, even whenmusic took the occasionalback seat to his time in uni-

versity to pursue a career inbusiness administration.Theyre totally differ-

ent sides of the brain, mywork life versus my interests

in singing,he said. Andwhile therewere times inmy life whereI didnt pur-sue music asmuch, Ialwaysdabbled withsome form ofmusic rightthrough mylife.His role

with theGood NoiseV a n c o u v e rGospel Choirsees Marion

performing traditionalAfrican-American gospelsongs alongside 90 othersingers. While he considershimself a spiritual person,being religious isnt neces-sary to enjoy the music thechoir performs.I like the style of music

it generally makes me feelgood, and it makes otherpeople feel good because itsso infectious, he said. Evenif youre not really religious,you end up tapping your feet,clapping your hands or mov-ing around because thats theway most of the music is.Sundays show kicks off

at 3 p.m. at the FraserviewMennonite Brethren Churchin Richmond. Tickets rangein price between $10 and$25. For details, see http://goodnoisevgc.com.

First Lesson Free

Flexible Schedule

No partner required

Start tonight!

Ive worked in the construction industry for over forty years, and when mypartner, Joan, said that shed always wanted to take dance lessons I thoughtnot bloody likely. That was 5 1/2 years ago.

As a complete novice, I was immediately impressed at how hard the studioinstructors worked to create a friendly, supportive atmosphere. The instructorsare knowledgeable, and not only about specific skills. They always seem toknow how and when to push us past the limits we set for ourselves.

The variety of lessons available at Arthur Murray has ensured that we arenever bored, and always challenged. From private lessons, to group lessons,to social dancing, ballroom dancing has been a way for us to make friendsand connect to our community while sneaking in some exercise.

Ive seen a dramatic change in my fitness, my flexibility, my coordinationand my posture. Dancing seems to keep all those little aches and pains atbay without the monotony of going to the gym. Ballroom dancing has givenme the opportunity to meet new people, to challenge myself physically,and to relieve stress in an environment that is so far removed from mydaily work life.

Weve made huge progress in our dancing ability ... or at least in ourconfidence level, and were constantly encouraged by our instructors totackle more complex projects. Dancing at social events has been fun andexciting, I really get a kick out of dancing at our local seniors homes.We enjoy ourselves, and through music and dance we are able toform meaningful connections with seniors who would otherwise remainstrangers.

Without the people at Arthur Murray, we would not be dancing today.When we attended our first lesson, I was just hoping to get it over with.Yet I was hooked by our instructors professionalism, enthusiasm andgenuine friendliness. We keep coming back because they have madeour lives entertaining, challenging and fun.

2015Nissan Leaf is unique inmanywaysBrendan [email protected]

When it comesto electricmotorvehicles, onecompanysteals the headlines and theother quietly goes aboutmaking the sales figures.Tesla might shine in the spot-light, but in terms of puttingkeys in the hands of ordinaryconsumers, the Nissan Leafis doing for electric mobilitywhat the Prius once did forhybrid technology.Its pretty amazing when

you think about it. Here, soldat a regular dealership along-side ordinary internal com-bustion engines, is a perfectlyordinary car with four doorsand a hatch that just happensto plug into the wall. Its notwildly futuristic, nor imprac-tical, nor really avant garde.Its just a car.Mind you, there are all

sorts of details that makethe Leaf an unusual choiceof transportation. On themarket for four years now,Nissans electric car is uniquein many ways. The questionis; does it work for you?

Design:With no need for a conven-

tional radiator or the othertrappings of a gasoline-pow-ered car, the surprise is howmuch the Leaf actually lookslike its entry-level cousin, theNote.Its got an amphibious-

looking face, LED headlightsand taillights, a few blue-means-efficient badges hereand there, but to the average

onlooker, its just a pleasantlittle hatchback.Standard wheel size is a

16 steel wheel, with S mod-els coming with 16 alloys,and SL models equipped with17 alloys.All cars come with a rear

spoiler, with the SL trimgaining a small solar panelembedded in it. Mudguardsare standard.

Environment:Inside, the Leaf is again

mostly ordinary, with a fewunusual touches. Because itsaps power to warm up thecabin, there are heated seatsfront and rear, and a stan-dard heated steering wheel.This latter is just the best. Idont know how we all man-age to live through the win-ter without a heated steeringwheel.The seats are nicely com-

fortable, with plenty of rearleg room, and the trunk iswell-sized. Because it wasdesigned from the ground upto be an electric car, the Leafdoesnt suffer from the cargoloss you find in electrifiedversions of regular cars, suchas the Ford Focus EV with itscramped rear hatch.Other than that, some

futurism extends into thecabin, where the instrumentdisplay shows a series ofdots displaying power use orregeneration.Mid-range models and

up get a range indicator aspart of the satellite naviga-tion that shows how far youcan go on a charge, and thepuck-shaped gear lever is likesomething youd expect tofind on a Star Trek shuttle.

Performance:

Forget Rolls-Royce: this isprobably the quietest car Iveever driven. Heavily insu-lated against road noise, theLeaf is whisper quiet, espe-cially at city speeds, with theloudest thing in the car beingthe fan.Power comes from a

107hp, 187lb/ft electricmotor that provides instant

shove from rest through asingle-speed transmission.While the Leaf is nominallyno more powerful than aMicra, the immediate avail-ability of the torque meansthat it feels much faster.Thats assuming you have

it in the right mode, however.Put the Leaf in eco-mode,and the throttle responsedrops to a level that makesit feel like youre driving

through maple syrup. Rangeis improved, but the car feelsvery slow.Flick it back into regular

mode while driving (just apush of the thumb on thesteering-wheel-mounted but-ton), and the Leaf surges for-ward with glee. Its actuallypretty fun to scoot around inregular mode at city speeds,with the Leafs point-and-shoot torque meaning you

can zip forward to mergewith ease.Now, here are a few words

about the range. The 15 Leafis much quicker to chargethan previous models, butwith the batteries fullytopped off, still only providesa total theoretical range of135 kilometres. Thats abouta quarter of your averagecompact commuter, andCONTINUED ON PAGE 18

todaysdriveYour journey starts here.

if you run low on electricpower, recharging is a some-what more involved affairthan just popping over to thegasoline pump.However, for most every-

day driving tasks, the Leafis more than up to the job.I drove it home, up the hillfrom downtown to the NorthShore, didnt bother pluggingit in, then I drove to and fromRichmond in rush hour. Eventhough the weather was coldenough to be running thepower-sapping heater nearlyfull blast, there was stillenough juice left over to runfor groceries, or pick up kidsfrom school, or all the otherlittle end-of-day tasks youmight have. You dont evenreally need a quick charger athome, as the Lower Mainlandis dotted with chargers thesedays. Park out front at theGranville Island market,and you can charge up yourcar for free. Its an interest-ing way to get around, withhardly any drawbacks. Yes,long-distance road trips are abit tricky, but thats why youbuy a Hellcat Challenger as asecond car. Or maybe thatsjust me.

Features:As mentioned, mid-range

Leaf models come with satel-lite navigation, based on a 7touchscreen display. A back-up camera is standard, andthe top-level cars come withNissans clever Aroundviewmonitor which shows a viewall around the car hencethe name, obviously.Keyless entry and pushbut-

ton start are standard, as isthe aforementioned heatedsteering wheel, which I mayhave allegedly tried to stealand install in my own per-sonal car allegedly.Theres also a huge suite

of Bluetooth-related tech-nologies, including streamingaudio and a hands-free text-message assistant. Possiblythe most interesting smart-phone-related feature is theCarwings app, which lets youmonitor your Leafs char-ging, battery levels, and evenkick on the air-conditioningremotely.Fuel economy is officially

rated at the equivalent of1.9L/100kms, or about $3to charge. You can also setthe Leaf up to draw powerduring off-peak times, whenelectricity is cheaper, bring-ing costs down further.

For most daily driving tasks, the Leaf is up to the job.
