Victoria Park to get newcondo [email protected]

Theres a new towercoming to east Keith Roadnext toVictoria Park.

A split City of NorthVancouver council votedMonday night to approvethe 16-storey towercontaining 52 strata unitsand 41 rental units at 161-165 East Keith Road.

The vote passed 4-3 withsupport fromMayor DarrellMussatto and his councilallies: Couns. Craig Keating,Linda Buchanan and HollyBack.

Debate at the counciltable pitted the projectshigh energy efciencyand replacement of thecitys rental stock againstobjections over its sheer sizecompared to the tiny lot itsits on.

Beyond the greenbuilding standards andpurpose-built rentalunits protected by a legalcovenant, Developer FDGProperty Management willpay the city $1.8 millionto purchase density fromthe adjacent city-ownedboulevard to the north ofthe building.The city isalso reducing the minimumspace between towers from80 feet to just over 68 feetand the required setbackfrom the property line. FDGmust enhance and maintainthe boulevard as part of theagreement.

The project will requirethe demolition of a 12-

unit, three-storey walk-upbuilding from 1954 inrelatively poor condition,according to city staff.Thebuildings 14 residentswill be given four monthsnotice before eviction,one months free rent, freeaccess to moving vans,boxes and a driver as wellas help in nding newaccommodations.

The new units willrange from 500-square-footbachelor suites to 1,300-square-foot three-bedroomcondos. Rents should bearound $2.50 per squarefoot according to thebuildings architect MichaelKatz.

Coun. Pam Bookhamvoted against the projecton the grounds that it wasshoehorned into the lot,and that its biggest impactswould be felt by the peoplewho will face eviction whenconstruction starts. Youdont address poverty by dis-placing people from afford-able housing or by drivingup land values by creatingthis kind of developmentpotential, she said.

Mussatto counteredthat todays pricey marketrentals will be tomorrowsaffordable rentals, especiallyas older buildings are torndown and replaced, oftenwithout rental units at all.

Im hoping in 20, 30or 40 years will be the newlow-end of market rental asnew buildings come online.I know its hard to say butwe have to have new rental

units and we need theseunits in the city, he said.

Couns. Rod Clark andDon Bell joined Bookhamsdissent.

None of the residentswho turned out to apublic hearing on Mondaynight spoke in favour ofthe project, nor did anyof the 19 residents whowrote letters to counciland 37 residents in theneighbourhing buildingwho signed a petition inopposition.

Among the opponentswas Linda Heese, who livesin one of the highrises onthe north side of the park,who argued the densitycouncil was prepared togrant was three timeshigher than what the ofcialcommunity plan wouldnormally allow. It is so farbeyond what should evenbe considered that it is hardto understand why we areeven here to discuss thisproposal, she said.

Other reasons given toshoot the project downincluded that it wouldswallow up street parking inthe neighbourhood, reduceprivacy for residents ofnearby buildings, encourageother developers to knockdown older buildings andthat it would be disrespectfulto the sanctity of thecenotaph inVictoria Park.

The project receivedits rst reading by councilin February 2014 but thepublic hearing and vote onsecond and third readings

The North Shoremountain trails were alittle cleaner when ZoeLongeway-Lewis was alive.

She always, even as alittle girl, would bring otherkids garbage home fromthe playground in her lunchkit, recalls her mom,CoreyLongeway.

That environmentalaltruism carried on intoadulthood for Longeway-Lewis who would continueto clean up the trails,particularly onMountSeymour, near her home inDeep Cove.

Around the same time,the avid snowboarder beganvolunteering with BeyondBoarding a local collective

dedicated to channelingmembers enthusiasm forsnowboarding into socialand environmental justicecauses.

I think her biggestcontribution was being(Beyond Boardings) biggestadvocate, and just spreadingthe word, says Corey. Zoehas a saying: Respect theforest, water and air webreathe, and in return youwill have a place to be free.

Her environmentalstewardship complementedLongeway-Lewiss studiesin sheries, wildlife andrecreation managementat BCIT, as well as hercharitable efforts on anational and internationallevel with the DavidSuzuki andWorldWildlifefoundations respectively.

OnMay 17 of last year,while preparing to starta summer job as a parksoperator onVancouverIslands North CoastTrail,and making wedding planswith her anc, LongewayLewis passed away suddenlyfrom a ruptured brainAVM (arteriovenousmalformation). She was 24.

To honour her localenvironmental legacy,Beyond Boarding is puttingon a youth workshopthis Saturday onMountSeymour.There will also bemonthly hikes organized inZoes memory.

Beyond Boardings co-founder,Tamo Campos, saidthese nature walks will be atting tribute to LongewayLewis. Instantly when youmet her you could tell shewas passionate about theoutdoors.This passion andconnection with nature thatZoe carried really is at thebackbone of what Beyond

Boarding is all about, saidCampos.

Before she died,Longeway-Lewis earned thetitle of forest oor sweeper,after pledging to pick upand pack out any trash shefound while hiking, biking,or snowshoeing.

Longeway-Lewis told herBeyond Boarding peers: Itscrazy how many granola barwrappers, Ziploc bags, andbeer cans youll nd left inthe forest. Lets keep thoseoutdoor spaces natural andfree of our junk!

Beyond Boardingsaim is to take Longeway-Lewiss legacy and empoweryoung people by making aconnection to nature.Thiswill hopefully inspire themto become more aware ofenvironmental and socialjustice matters, said Campos.

Each hike will besponsored and led by a guide

obviously, said CarolynDrugge, project co-ordinator. It shouldprovide some relief but itsnot the magic bullet.

The latest designalso features 3.2-metresidewalks/bike lanes thatare separated from thevehicle trafc by a barrier,which was somethingcycling advocates had beenlobbying for.

Though the Keith Roadtrafc often backs up wellinto the City of NorthVancouver, the $12.7-million cost is being coveredby district taxpayers andthrough development costcharges the district collectsfrom new constructionprojects.

Contractors will be ringup the chainsaws next weekto start removing trees inBridgman Park all the wayto Lynnmouth Avenue inorder to make room for thenew bridge and lanes oftrafc.

While 150 trees willbe cut down by the endof February and the trails

and parking lot will have tobe closed periodically forthe work to be done safely,the park will ultimately beimproved by the project,said Susan Rogers, parksmanager for the district.

The district will bereplacing the trees in thearea at a ratio of threeto one.The project alsocalls for improvements tobe made to the parkinglot and trails. Districtcouncil voted last fall totake 26 undeveloped lotson the north side of KeithRoad and turn them into

parkland, which will resultin a net increase in parkspace, Rogers said.Theinformal trails that traversethe undeveloped land willbe improved and connectedwith the existing trails inthe area. Were reallysolidifying and improvingtrail access overall, she said.

All the tree-cuttingmust be done by the endof February, before raptorsbegin nesting.

Engineers plan to keepthe existing bridge openwhile the rst half of thenew bridge is constructed

immediately to the south.Once it is capable ofhandling trafc, the old leadpaint covered bridge willbe decommissioned andreplaced with the secondhalf.While there will besome off-peak hours laneclosures, the plan is to keeptrafc owing throughduring construction.

We have an extensivetrafc management plan.Were going to maintainwhats there, said ShaunLoader, project engineer.

The project shouldbring environmentalimprovements to LynnCreek itself, which is animportant salmon spawninghabitat. Storm waterrunoff will be capturedby a perforated pipe andredirected back into the soil,rather than into the creek.

The ground acts like anatural lter and that willimprove the water qualityas it travels down throughthe water table and into thecreek as well, Loader said.

Improvements to theriparian areas on bothsides of the creek are alsoincluded in the work plan.

Barriers separate bike lanes

If youre planning ontravelling to or fromVancouver via the LionsGate Bridge at nightanytime soon, youmightwant tomake other plans.

TheMinistry ofTransportation andInfrastructure is reducingtrafc on the bridge downto two lanes starting at

7:30 p.m., Sunday throughThursday, until the end ofFebruary.Things will get awhole lot worse at 10 p.m.when all the north/southtrafc will be funnelledinto one lane in alternatedirections until 5 a.m.

WestVancouver residentMargaret Baker got stuck inthe brutal single-lane messonWednesday when it tookher an hour and a half to getfrom Kitsilano to her home

at 21st Street andMarineDrive. I couldnt even seethe end of the trafc, shesaid. I just couldnt believehow slow it was. ...We werestopped at some points, forwhat felt like 10 minutes ata time.

The lanes will be keptopen on nights featuringlarge events downtown likehockey games and concerts,according to the ministry.

Cyclists and pedestrians,

meanwhile, will nd theLions Gates sidewalksclosed during the daytimeas crews work to replace thejoints. One sidewalk will bekept open at all times andwork crews will alternateclosures to best t withcycling commuter schedules.

The province is replacingthe aging bridge joints tomake them smoother fordrivers and cyclists andquieter for nearby residents.

Plan to failT he National Energy Board hasruled the B.C. government andpublic do not have the rightto see Kinder Morgans emergencyresponse plans, citing personal,commercial and security reasons.As a make-good, the energy giant

apparently offered to turn over its plansin full to the government, but not thepublic at large.The premier took to theairwaves onTuesday to say that simplywasnt good enough, and rightly so.While the government is elected to

represent us and the bureaucracy ishired to serve us, the public at large hasa stake in the outcome of this processand, accordingly, the right to know andscrutinize all aspects of it.Trust us doesnt cut it for the

communities, environmental groups,First Nations and rst responders alongthe pipelines path and it doesnt cut it

for us.Christy Clark has made a big deal

of her ve conditions for approvalof any pipelines in B.C., two of whichwere world-leading oil spill response,prevention and recovery systems forboth B.C.s coastline and land-basedspills.In 2013, a federal panel concluded

Canada was not prepared to handle amajor tanker spill in Southern B.C.Pipeline advocates will tell you they

are safer than ever yet spills continue tohappen and clean-ups can be botched.If Kinder Morgans pipeline or any

other pipeline for that matter is to goahead, wed rather that be decided aftera full public vetting of the worst-casescenarios.That sure beats nding outafter the fact the plans werent up tosnuff. Better to ask permission than begforgiveness.

Dear Editor:I write to comment on

Elizabeth James columnTransit Governance isMired in Conict, publishedJan. 7.The future oftransit in the region is anextremely important issue.Unfortunately,Ms. Jamescolumn on the subject is notup to her usual standards.

Ms. James asserts thatnewly elected members of

council swear an oath underthe Local GovernmentAct to foster the economic,social and environmentalwell-being of their (own)communities.The truth is,we do no such thing. Rather,our oath requires us toswear that we will faithfullyperform the duties of (our)ofce and will not allow anyprivate interest to inuence(our) conduct in public

matters. Pursuant to theact, our role is to determinewhat it is in the publicinterest.

The main point Ms.James makes is that isthat regional governancestructures place localofcials, like MayorWalton,in a conict of interest.Unfortunately, this termis widely misunderstoodand all too often misused.

Broadly speaking, conictsof interest are situationsin which an individual isin a position to exploita professional or ofcialcapacity in some way fortheir personal or privatebenet (hence, the wordingof the oath).The conictof interest can be real or(reasonably) perceived.

MayorWalton (or anyother elected ofcial) is

simply not in a conictof interest when, as partof his role as mayor, hesits on regional decision-making bodies and is askedto consider the interests ofthe region.There are nopersonal or private benetsfrom this work that corruptMayorWalton from fulllingthe duties of his role as

Dear Editor:To hockey parents who

attended the Atoms gameSaturday, Jan. 17, Im agrandparent of one ofthe nine-year-old players.(On that day) some adultsdisplayed behaviour thatthe nine-year-old child

would nd themselves introuble for.

Yes, one of our parentsbrought an air horn to thegame with the intentionof celebrating our teamssuccess in getting a goal not to offend or upset anychild and in this case some

moms from the NorthShore team.This was akids game.We had a roughstart to our season and inother rinks over the LowerMainland, music and hornswere blasted when theteams beating us scored.Our horn-honking parent

is simply celebrating ourgirls successes, nothingmore.The kids think itsfun. Simple as that.

But well be the biggerperson here and apologizefor upsetting the parents.

How is it that PrimeMinister Stephen Harper,who has been vilied byhis political opponentslike few politicians beforehim, is still the front-runner when it comes towinning the next federalelection in October?

How can someone whostirs up deeply passionateand emotional negativeresponses on so manyissues still look like the oneto beat come the vote?

There are many reasonsto be upset with the Harpergovernment (and manyother governments, for thatmatter). So how can it evenstand a chance of beingre-elected?

While political pollinghas to be taken with a verylarge grain of salt thesedays (given how wrongsome of them have been inrecent elections), one cantsimply dismiss out of handa series of polls that putthe Conservatives rmlyin the lead over the federalLiberals and NDP.

The latest Ipsos-Reidpoll for Global News givesHarpers Conservatives35 per cent of the decidedvote, while JustinTrudeausLiberals are at 31 per centandThomas MulcairsNDP appears to be fading,sitting at just 24 per cent.That Conservative leadseems to be solidifying, ifnot increasing. How canthis be?

Well, rst of all, take alook at who actually votesin this country. As Ivewritten here a number oftimes before, voters tendto be older and, by nature,more conservative inoutlook.

Polls often over-represent the views ofyounger people who

dont vote in nearly thesame numbers as olderpeople and under-represent older folks.Online polls, it seems tome, likely dont reectthe views of a great manypeople who may stillfeel uncomfortable withthe internet and onlinecommunications.

In fact, if your senseof where public opinionis based on whats beingsaid online, you are likelygetting a very distortedview of things.

Go to any major mediawebsite, and check outthe comments (most ofthem anonymous) postedafter political news stories.Invariably, if they concernfederal politics at all,Harper is basically referredto as the devil himself(although that is likelyone of the more politecharacterizations).

Increasingly, people onlylisten to or read things thatreinforce their opinions.And so, on something likeFacebook for example,people only read what theirFacebook friends sendtheir way friends wholikely view the world asthey do.

Or people will onlyread or listen to a media

outlet that has a bias thattilts their way.This isparticularly a problem forthose who are decidedlyleft-wing or right-wing they shut out anythingthat clashes with their ownviews or ideology.

And so the people whoare most vehemently anti-Harper only listen to eachother, and therefore onlyreinforce their view thathe is some sort of horribleleader who is about to bedeposed. After all, everyoneis saying that, so it must be

true, right?The trouble, of course,

that if you only listento your limited circle offriends, youre not gettingthe full picture. I seemany people gleefully saythey dont read or watchso-called mainstreammedia and only consumemedia that agrees withtheir viewpoint as aresult, they live in an echochamber that leads toignorance and uninformedcommentary.

This is a relatively

recent phenomenon.Therapid rise of websites,blogs and social mediamakes living in that echochamber that much easier and that much easier tounderestimate a supposedlyunpopular government likethe Harper one.

Finally, throw in thefact we have three majorpolitical parties at thefederal level, and you cansee why the Conservativeswill likely grow morecondent as the Octobervote grows nearer.

The Conservative voterbase, which hovers around40 per cent of the electorate,is fairly loyal and committed.But there are a fair numberof folks who are likelycomfortable voting for eitherthe federal Liberals or theNDP,meaning each of thoseparties can hurt each otherthrough vote splitting (to saynothing of the Green Partyadding to that confusion).

So, despite all thatvitriol and fury directed

tonnes of wheat.The increase in wheat

exports also promptedRichardsonTerminalsaddition of controversialnew grain storage silos,which dramaticallyimpacted views of nearbyCity of NorthVancouverneighbours.

Cargills expansion doesnot include any new grainstorage silos, said ConnieTamoto, spokeswoman forthe company.

According toinformation provided toPort MetroVancouver,the project should cutdown on noise by reducingrail shunting within theterminal.

Coun. Rod Clark,who has sat on industrialwaterfront committees forthe city, said he has reasonto hope the net effect ofthe project will be positivefor nearby residents.

I have great respect forCargill, he said. Theyseem to be good corporatecitizens.

Previously, Cargillcompleted the rstphase of a project aimed

at cutting noise levelscoming from the terminalby putting silencers onexhaust fans and dustcollectors and installingnoise barriers.

TonyValente,chairman of the Cityof NorthVancouversLow Level Road andport area communityliaison committee, said itremains to be seen whatthe cumulative impacts ofexpansions at Richardson,Cargill and Neptuneterminals will be for thecommunity. Thats whatmakes a difference inpeoples lives, he said.

Cargill has asked tostart work on the new railtrack project in March,with a completion date ofMay 2016.

Port MetroVancouveris currently reviewingthat request and has nalauthority over the permit.

Cargill plans to holdan open house about theproject on Feb. 5 from 4to 8 p.m. at the Pinnaclehotel.

The company is alsoscheduled to addressCity of NorthVancouvercouncil Feb. 23.

Are you disappointed with skiing and snowboarding conditions?INQUIRINGREPORTER

Jared ZawislakNorth Vancouver

Yes.The lack of terrainbeing open in the snowboardparks is disappointing.

Justin BungagNorth Vancouver

Yes and No.We kind ofjust take what we have andhave fun. In reality, the seasonis bad.

Stewart GaltNorth Vancouver

No.As long as it doesntsnow down here, Im ne. Imfrightened (of snow and ice)because I walk with a stick.

Alexi LiottiNorth Vancouver

No. I wouldnt say Imdisappointed because Ive beenable to go up a lot. Ive beenhaving a good time.

Dan SteinNorth Vancouver

Yes.Well, its discouragingif you want to put it intowords.

Mild winter weather inVancouver has put a damperon this years ski season onNorth Shoremountains.And the latest forecastdoesnt look encouraging:A Pineapple Expresstropical storm is set to hitthe Vancouver area today,and bring with it 40 to 60millimetres of rain in twodays. Up to 90mmof rainis expected to fall on NorthShoremountains. Andwith Environment Canadaforecasting highs of 11 to 12C andmore rain heading intothemiddle of next week, isthis years ski season on thelocal mountains a write-off?Weigh in at nsnews.com.

mayor.In fact,MayorWalton

cannot properly protect orserve the interests of hisconstituents without alsoconsidering the needs of theregion. For example, on theissue of transit, dont NorthVancouver residents travel tothe rest of MetroVancouver?Dont they work at or ownbusinesses that depend onthe vitality of the region?

Naturally, all electedofcials including MayorWalton must balancevarious interests whenmaking regional decisions.No elected ofcial sittingon a regional committeeis blind to the interests oftheir own communities.Rather, they attempt tothink broadly and strike anappropriate balance. Everyinformed voter understandsthat local ofcials have to siton regional committees andstrike this balance.

Ms. James appears tofavourTransLink beinggoverned by internationallyexperienced transportationprofessionals.Well, thecurrent board has anextremely broad expertiseincluding North Shoreresident and chair MarcellaSzel who sits on a federaltransportation advisoryboard. Of course, withoutthe mayors council, sucha body would be unelected

and unaccountable to allbut the province.This wouldhardly ensure that the bestinterests of the constituentsthe mayor was elected toserve are better protected.

There is no doubt thattheTransLink governancemodel is less than ideal andthatTransLink can stand toimprove both nancial andoperational efciency andaccountability. However, it ismisguided to advocate votingagainst the referendumuntil the governancesystem is perfected.Afailed referendum willbe interpreted as publicopposition to spending ontransit improvements. Itwill not improveTransLinkgovernance.

Ms. James and I agreethat we need an efcient,regionwide transit systemand that ... a small additionto the sales tax may bethe fairest way to provideTransLink with morefunding for its $7.5-billion plan.Vancouveris increasingly in gridlockand transportationprofessionals feelthat signicant transitimprovements are urgentlyneeded.The only wayto ensure we get thesenecessary improvements thisdecade is to ensure that thereferendum succeeds.Craig CameronDistrict ofWestVancouvercouncillor

When a homeless man unexpectedly lands onthe balcony of their new condo, long-marriedcouple Lilly and Morgan Beaumont begin toquestion their relationship, their routine andtheir comfortable, albeit dull, lives.

Both of them are unhappy.They love eachother, but theyre unhappy, says North Shoreactress Nicola Cavendish, who plays Lilly in theNorth American premiere of The Goodnight Birdby Canadian by playwright Colleen Murphy atKay Meek Centre.

This is the second major role Cavendish hastaken on since taking a hiatus from acting in2012. She rst met Murphy many years ago at

the Banff Playwrights Colony and says she wasimmediately impressed by the Quebec-bornwriters wit and wisdom. So, when Murphyexpressed interest in Cavendish playing a part inher dark comedy The Goodnight Bird, she jumpedat the opportunity.

Its an actors treat to land into a script likethis, Cavendish says. Its a very rich and verychallenging play for all of the three characters.

The action takes place in the bedroomof a couple in their mid-60s. Lilly, a recentlyretired schoolteacher, and her husband Morgan(Christopher Hunt), recovering from a heartattack, are shocked one night when a mysteriousvagrant named Parker (Graham Cuthbertson)ies off the roof and lands on their balcony.Theintruder butts into their home and their personallives, sparking a dialogue between Lilly andMorgan about things they never realized theywere missing.

Its not just a play about one night in thebedroom of an afuent couple. It reverberatesinto all sorts of things which, to be honest, Imstill discovering, Cavendish says.

She describes the tone of the rst half as achaotic comedy as the characters respond tothe absurd situation they have found themselvesin. But its got stomach underneath it, she says.In the second half, she says, the characters arereminiscent of a gentle version of the troubledmiddle-aged couple George and Martha fromEdward AlbeesWhos Afraid ofVirginiaWoolf?

The Goodnight Bird was rst staged in 2011at the FinboroughTheatre in London whereMurphy was a playwright in residence. KayMeek Centre and Montreal-based CentaurTheatre Company are co-producing theupcoming presentation inWestVancouver underthe direction of Centaurs Roy Surette, whohas worked with Cavendish on a number ofoccasions, most recently the Arts ClubTheatreCompanys production of 4000 Miles last fall.When Cavendish sent Surette the script for TheGoodnight Bird, he knew she would be perfect forthe part, he says.And he was also impressed withthe play.

When she was in her20s,NorthVancouverwriter Jackie Batemanlived in somewhat ofa questionable area ofEdinburgh,Scotland.

It wasnt dodgy, per se,rather best-described as amore decrepit side of town,she recalls.

Bateman was once forcedto call the authorities due to

the frightening sounds beingemitted from another unit inher apartment complex.

I remember somethingkicking off downstairs, andthere was a ght and therewas banging and swearing,she says, adding it sounded asif someone was being bashedagainst a wall due to thedegree of screaming.

After police had sortedthe violent situation out, theycame to check on her. Sherecalls one ofcer asking,What are you doing livinghere? to which she replied,This is my at!What doyou mean?

Bateman was shocked tolearn how horric not onlyher neighbours were but herneighbourhood in general.

(The ofcer) said, If youknew who else lived on thisstreet, you wouldnt live here.It really resonated with me,that yeah, you dont knowwhos on your street. I thinkthats kind of terrifying, shesays.

The attending ofcerscomment made a lastingimpression and her resultingrealization is a conceptBateman is continuing toexplore in her works ofction.

The married motherof two (she has a son agednine and a daughter agedsix) grew up inAfrica,mainly Kenya and Nigeria,before moving to Londonand Edinburgh, and thenVancouver in 2003. Shehas released two literarythrillers so far.The rst novel,Nondescript Rambunctious,was published in 2011 andwon a national First BookCompetition in Canada. Itsfollow,Savour, was releasedin October 2014 and is themiddle book in the three-partThe LizzyTrilogy.

Batemans series followssuspected serial killer Oliver,a nemesis to his longtimeinterest, Lizzy.The narrativefollows Olivers pull forLizzy and his ongoing battlebetween a need to protect herand a desire to take her soul.

The Confabulistby Steven Galloway,Alfred Knopf CanadaPublisher, 304 pages,$29.95.

The line between beliefand reality is challengedin Steven Gallowaysengrossing new book.Decades after his deathHoudinis reputation asthe greatest escape artistlives on, and Gallowaydives into the mysteriousmagicians life as bravelyas a volunteer about to besawn in half.

Behind the performerare layers of intriguewhere truth and ctionblur while ambition andmanipulation battle forcontrol. Harry Houdinis

story is interwoven withthat of Martin Strauswho Galloway has createdas Houdinis killer. Historment over what heddone has ruined his life

and estranged him fromeveryone hes loved.

With sleight of handmisdirection Gallowaymoves through severalstorylines as he followsHoudinis career, sharingsome secrets but nevertelling us too much.In contrast, Straus isdesperate to unburdenhimself of the truth buthe is suffering froma condition where heexperiences false memoriesand is unsure where thetruth lies.

Galloway waits untilthe end to pull back thecurtains and let us seethese two men for whothey really are.

Darkness a common theme in storiesIts not a straightforward

psychopath killer. I wantedit to be quite emotional andcomplex, she says.

Bateman will offer insightinto her writingWednesdayevening, Jan. 28, as part ofthe NorthVancouver CityLibrarys Local AuthorSeries, which is intended

to showcase North Shoreas well as LowerMainlandwriters, and is a partnershipbetween the library, theNorthVancouver CityLibrary Friends of theLibrary, and the NorthShoreWritersAssociation.The other featured author atWednesdays event is NancyLee, author ofDead Girls andlast years TheAge.

Last week, Batemanreceived yet anotherfeather in her cap, she wasawarded second place in theVancouverWriters Fest 2014Poetry & Short StoryWritingContest for The CornersFade, a work of shortction.The story focuseson a woman injured in asnowboarding accident whowakes up to nd she suffers

from quadriplegia.That stemmed from a

horrible nightmare that Ihad a few years ago, saysBateman.

She was awarded $350and The Corners Fadewaspublished on the festivalswebsite,writersfest.bc.ca/writingcontest. First place inthe short ction categoryand a $500 prize went to

Kelownas Ashley Little forher work,ScorpionTattoo.

It was a really niceboost, says Bateman.

I spend all day on myown, either at home or in the(City of NorthVancouverLibrary) study area, and it isvery solitary. Its lovely to getvalidation once in a while thatwhat youre doing is actuallykind of working.You canwrite for weeks and monthsand youre on your own, youdont necessarily have a lot offeedback, she adds.

Bateman is pleased to seeher longheld passion nallycoming to fruition, havingalways been a writer at heart,she says, going back to ageseven.

Ive got the classic kindof (rst) pancake manuscriptstill in a drawer,my rst-ever book that never sawthe light of day, that I spenta few years on, she says. Icall that my practice novel. Idont think Ill even go backto it.

Shes continued to writeshort stories over the years inaddition to working on hernovel projects, and pursuingsome copywriting work.

I absolutely love it. Forme its not really a disciplineits something that I just haveto do, she says of writing.

Bateman didnt set outto pen a trilogy for her rstnovel project.

Some people plan atrilogy and they have it allmapped out. I am not thatperson, she says.

She wroteNondescriptRambunctious over the courseof four years and initiallythought that would be theend of it.

I left it fairly open-ended.I dont like the happily-ever-after endings, she says.

Bateman was surprised bythe response from readers, anumber of whom expressedtheir hope for a sequel.

One day I sat down andI was ready to start a secondbook and I thought, Imgoing to write somethingcompletely different andthen started writing. . . . andit just all started comingout and then it became thesequel.Then I had an idea ofhow it would all end nally.

Bateman is in the nalthroes of writing the thirdand nal book,StraightCircles, and anticipates itsrelease in 2016.

What separates her novelsfrom classic thrillers, is thatthe stories tend to be morecharacter-driven rather thanplot. She nd that once shesdecided on the charactersthen the story comes from

there, the characters reallylead it, she says.

The rst book in herseries focuses on Lizzyscoming of age as she turns13.This proves to be afurther challenging periodas its combined with thedisappearance of her motherand ostracism by her father.

That period in your lifewhen you become a teenager,if theres something elsehappening, if youre rejected,or someone disappearsor youre left alone, its agreat period of anxiety anddarkness, says Bateman.

When crafting the actionof her thrillers, she says notmuch research is required,she only has to stay abreastof daily newspaper andtelevision news headlines.

It will tell you everythingyou need to know. Justheinous things happen theworld over every day and itsalmost like weve becomedesensitized to them in away.And what I nd quiteinteresting is, well, theyrejust the things that we hearabout.A lot of killers, theyalmost purposefully leaveclues behind. . . . they wantthat notoriety.Theyre theones that get discovered,whereas whats underneaththe surface?Where are all thepeople that dont have thatnarcissism or that feeling ofnotoriety? All those people,we dont hear about them .. . and I nd that fascinatingand horric.

Main character Oliveris one such person,operating under theradar, his actions goingunnoticed a compellingpossibility she was rstintroduced to through thatfateful experience back inEdinburgh.

While darkness is acommon theme in Batemanswork, its in stark contrast toher own personality, whichis incredibly positive andupbeat. Readers are oftensurprised by her bubblydemeanor and conversely,those who know her are, attimes, shocked by her subjectmatter.

It works both ways. Itsjust the imagination and themind isnt it? Its just whatcomes out of your mindwhen you start writing.Nothing really to do withyour own personality or yourown life, she says.

Bateman asserts she iswriting absolute ction andwill continue on in thatvein with her next project,a historical novel set in1970s Kenya that is alreadyunderway.

Cake seemshalf-baked Cake. Directed byDaniel Barnz. StarringJennifer Aniston,AdrianaBarraza and SamWorthington.Rating: 7 (out of 10)

JULIE CRAWFORDContributingWriter

Headlining the yearlylist of Oscar snubs wasDavid Oyelowo, in a highlycompetitive BestActorcategory, and JenniferAniston, in a BestActresslineup with some denitewiggle room.

The absence of Anistonsname was a surprisebecause the Academy lovesa transformation, and inCake they get it twofold.Onscreen,Aniston goes fromred carpet-ready to dowdy

in order to play Claire, apill-addicted, chronic-painsufferer.And her careersegues from hair messiahand rom-com star to bonade actress in one fell swoop.

We feel her pain fromthe very rst scene, when acloyingly Im-OK-youre-OK therapist (FelicityHuffman) asks members of achronic-pain self-help groupto voice their feelings aboutNina (Anna Kendrick), amember who has committedsuicide.

Claire feigns annoyance,but shes more than a littleobsessed, visiting the sitewhere the suicide happenedand even touring Ninashome.That visit involves arun-in with the womanshunky husband Roy (SamWorthington), grieving

father of a young son, andthe two develop an unlikely,unhealthy relationship.

Claire sees hallucinationsof Nina everywhere thanksto the truckloads of medsshe pops on a daily basis.Some of these prescriptionsare legal but most like thebottles she stashes behindpicture frames are not.In desperation Claire evenconvinces her housekeeperSilvana (Adriana Barraza,excellent) to cross the borderinto Mexico to procure morepainkillers.

Silvana is as long-suffering as her employer:Claires ill temper hasalienated her husband (ChrisMessina), her physicaltherapist (Mamie Gummer),her friends, and everyoneelse. She works long hours

for little money, drives Claire who has to lie pronebecause of the pain onall sorts of semi-legal jaunts,and has to sit mum whileClaire makes questionablelife choices. (Like screwingher handyman, in a scenecringe-worthy both for theclich and the amount ofdiscomfort that it causes.)Silvana is Claires saviour,her only friend in the world,and the lm excels when itfocuses on the relationshipbetween the women.(Barrazas name wouldvebeen on the Best Supportinglist, if I had a golden wand.)

Its easy to see why Clairewould contemplate suicideherself, as her past is slowlyrevealed.We guess at the sad

THEATRE

Its a bit surreal, its

quite funny, but its alsoquite poignant, he says.

As director, his challenge

is to nd the right pace forthe story so that the actionunfolds in a credible and

convincing way.What happens to this

married couple happens

very quickly. Its in thecourse of two scenes in realtime, he explains. I thinkour challenge is to keep theabsurdity of the action to alittle bit of a minimum andto make it really believable.

Cavendish expects theaudience will nd much theycan relate to in this story.

I want them to beengaged by it and I wantthem to see themselves insome of it, she says.

After its run at KayMeekCentre,The Goodnight Birdwill travel to the CentaurTheatre in Montreal forthree weeks.

Its always wonderful

to know that the theatres inthe country can still produceCanadian playwrightsmaterial and put it onthe stage for us to digestas Canadians, and its anhonour to be able to do sucha thing for Colleen Murphy,Cavendish says.
