Neighbour in deck dispute ordered to payJANE [email protected]

“If it offends you, cut it off” isn’t a sentiment thatshould be taken literally by homeowners, a B.C.Supreme Court justice has decided – especially notwhen the offending structure is your neighbour’sdeck.

A judge had to step in recently and sort out the acrimonybetween two North Vancouver neighbours whose disagree-ment over a property line encroachment ended in both achainsaw solution and a lawsuit.

According to court documents, relations between David

Watson, who lives at 5469 Indian River Dr. and the couplewho used to live next door at 5495 Indian River Dr. – GeoffreyTaylor Charlton and Sheila Barlett – turned distinctly un-neighbourly over the property line issue.

Charlton, who bought the house in 2012, took issue withWatson’s septic tank, set of stairs and outside deck, whichencroached about three feet on to his property.

Witnesses at the trial said those structures had originally

been built by a previous owner. Watson later had the rottingdeck and stairs replaced – without a building permit and at aslightly larger size.

In January 2013, Charlton told Watson he’d had a propertysurvey done and said Watson would need to deal with theissue. Watson said he’d consider it.

But two weeks later, while Watson and his family were out,Charlton took matters into his own hands, using a chainsawto cut off portions of Watson’s deck and stairs that crossedthe property line and moving the footings for the deck.

He took about eight hours to complete the task, using a

PAUL SULLIVAN: SANCTUARY A FRAGILE NOTION IN ORLANDO’S WAKE PAGE 8

JANE [email protected]

A school district-funded food programthat’s been providinghot lunches to kids atsome North Vancouverschools for the pasttwo decades is beingreplaced by a programthat will provide dif-ferent types of foodto more kids, but willphase out the hotlunches.

Those in charge of theprogram say changes willmake healthy food availableto more kids who come toschool hungry or don’t haveenough nutritious food intheir backpacks. They alsosay it’ll help cut down on alarge amount of food wastedby the current program.

A few people have raisedquestions, however, aboutwhether the snacks pro-vided can take the place ofa hot meal for the studentswho really need it.

The hot lunch programrun by the North VancouverSchool District doesn’tattract much attention.

But at a cost of about$300,000 annually, theprogram has been makinga hot lunch available dailyto students at four schoolswith a high proportion ofvulnerable students, includ-ing Norgate, Queen Mary,Ridgeway and Westviewelementary.

The program providesa hot lunch item througha contracted provider –soup, stew or a burrito, forexample – that’s distributedby school support staff.Parents have the option ofpaying for the lunch, but forfamilies who can’t afford it,the school district coversthe cost.

The lunch program is

good in theory, says MontyBell, director of instructionand learning for the NorthVancouver School District.

Research has shownthere’s a high correlationbetween kids having abalanced diet of nutritiousfood and better ability toconcentrate in class andregulate behaviour, he said.

But some kids come toschool without good food.

Bell said the bestestimate is there is “noless than three per cent ofthe (student) populationcoming to school in needof food security.” In someschools, that may be ashigh as 15 per cent of allstudents.

Schools targeted for hotlunch programs are thosewhere socio-economicfactors – including lowincomes, high numbers ofsingle-parent families orchildren in government care– have pointed to a need.

In some cases, familieshave the financial means toprovide good food, but findit difficult to come up withbalanced school lunchesday after day.

“Sometimes it’s just therush,” said Bell.

But one of the big prob-lems with the hot lunchprogram is students don’tget a choice, said Bell –which limits the appeal.

That’s resulted in dwin-dling numbers of lunchesbeing picked up, he said.

More disturbingly, about60 per cent of the food isbeing wasted, he added.

Bell said the other prob-lem is that some kids whoneed help at other schoolsor at times other than lunchhaven’t been getting it.

Under the new program– expected to cost aboutthe same – no hot lunch willbe offered, but students at

all schools in the districtwill have access to healthysnacks like cheese strips,granola bars and fruit for nocharge if they want it.

Carolyn Pena, presidentof the North VancouverTeachers Association, saidshe’s heard some concernsraised by teachers aboutthe changes.

“Is it going to providethe same level of nutritiousfood?” she asked.

“It doesn’t sound like it’sa full meal. It might just besnacks. We don’t have a lotof information about thatyet.”

Pena said some teach-ers feel it would make moresense for the program to

focus on making sure themost vulnerable studentshave access to a “robustprogram” rather thanmaking sure snacks areavailable for everyone.

Bell said a test of thenew food access programrun in several schools thisyear showed it is popularwith students.

Program shifts from hot lunch tohealthy snacks aimed at reducingfoodwaste, boosting nutrition

chainsaw, skill saw, hammer,nails, and other tools, alongwith a backhoe to removefootings for the deck, accord-ing to court documents.

Charlton also blockedWatson’s access to the septictank with pieces of woodheld in place with wires andscrews, that rested on thetank and supported the deckabove it, according to courtdocuments.

Each time Watsonremoved the wood blocks,Charlton would replacethem. At one point, Watsonalleged Charlton had “threat-ened to cut his septic tank inhalf” and also swung a rakeat him.

Not surprisingly, “all ofthese actions fostered badblood between the parties,”noted B.C. Supreme CourtJustice Trevor Armstrong.

In considering the issues,Armstrong found thatWatson was careless in notchecking the property linebefore rebuilding the deck.“Common sense would haveinformed the plaintiff of theneed for a building permitand a survey,” he wrote.

But he also found theencroachments had minimalimpact on the neighbours’property and would becostly and cumbersome tomove.

The judge thereforeordered that the neighbourssell that strip of their prop-erty to Watson at fair marketvalue.

In court, Charlton justi-fied his actions, saying heremoved Watson’s deckbecause it was unsafe.

But the judge didn’t buythat, adding homeownersare not entitled to engagein “self help” remedies thatcause irreparable damage toanother person’s property –especially without any priornotice.

“In my view this anti-social behaviour was notrational or supported in law,”he wrote, awarding $9,000to Watson for Charlton’strespass.

Armstrong also awarded$2,000 to Charlton for theencroachment of the septictank.

Damage from that late-night snack session was

estimated at $10,000.De Jong said it is “very

unusual” to have two similarincidents so close together.

But it’s not the first timebears have treated vehiclesas their personal drive-through fast food outlets.

Bears have been knownto rip open car doors evenfor the faintest of smells.Another vehicle in theBritish Properties wasbroken into last summer forsome leftover sushi and inprevious years, cookies and

spilled coffee have attractedYogi to potential meals onwheels.

Even leaving food wrap-pers in a vehicle can beenough to attract a bear,said De Jong.

“Bears do have an

incredible sense of smelland incredible strength,” hesaid.

So far, 2016 has seenrelatively few bear conflictson the North Shore, accord-ing to the North Shore BlackBear Network.

Can you have yourheritage and keep neigh-bourhood character, too?

That’s what District ofNorth Vancouver council willbe mulling until July 4, whenthey will likely vote on a planto subdivide a 100-foot lot on360 East Windsor Road.

The subdivision wouldallow the Thomson House– with its Craftsman archi-tecture dating back to 1913– to be retained. However,it would also allow for anapproximately 3,200-square-foot home to be built on theadjoining lot; creating extradensity that will “imperil thisneighbourhood,” according toarea resident Glen Robitaille.

Robitaille was one of sev-eral neighbours who packedcouncil chambers duringTuesday’s public hearing tospeak against the subdivisionand its worrisome precedent.

The subdivision is nota slippery slope, it’s a pathtoward preserving history,

argued heritage advocate KylaGardiner. “By demolishingheritage buildings, we erasethe stories of our past,” shesaid.

Gardiner reminded thecrowd that the heritagedesignation afforded to theThomson House would be sitespecific, and only applied toother historically significantheritage homes through nego-tiations with the municipality.

“With property valuessoaring through the roof,heritage homes have little tono value compared to the landthey sit on, and are at risk ofbeing demolished,” she said.

A heritage revitalizationagreement could not onlysave the Thomson Housefrom the wrecking ball, itmight persuade other heritagehomeowners to think beyondthe value of their lot, she said.

“lf only the large lots areprotected, Upper Lonsdalewill eventually become like somany other neighbourhoodsin the Lower Mainland, withhuge, brand new homes thatare out of reach for many localbuyers.”

Robitaille took issue withthe notion the subdivisionwould provide affordability,noting the two propertieswould likely each sell for morethan $2 million. “These are notstarter homes,” he said. “This

is not a case of the work-ing class versus the landedmoney class. Perhaps it wouldbe better put as multimillion-aires versus millionaires.”

Robitaille also jousted withDonato D’Amici, the owner ofthe Thomson House.

For D’Amici, the subdivi-sion is about preserving thecharacter that lured him tothe neighbourhood in thefirst place. “Why save theThomson house?” D’Amiciasked. “Why not tear it downand build a big spec housefor foreign buyers? I could’vemade a lot more money doingthat and my neighbourscouldn’t have done anythingabout it.”

D’Amici announced plansto remove the coach housefrom the new residence toaddress density concerns.While he would prefer to sub-divide, D’Amici was adamantthat if his application wasdenied, he would be forced tosell to developers.

Robitaille took issue withsome of the language beingused. “Monster house. Foreigninvestor. Absentee ownership.What is the point of com-ments like these? There’s areason they call it dog-whistlepolitics,” he said. “This isrhetoric disguised to get your

Should the ThomsonHouse be levelled, Robitaillesuggested the replacementhome would likely have amaximum floor area of 5,940square feet, not including the

basement.Neighbour Stan Feingold

called on council to respectthe community’s wishes.“We’re the neighbours. We’rehere for the long-term, not theflip.”

District staff investigatedmoving the Thomson Houseand concluded there could

be logistical challenges thatmight push the price of thehaul to $125,000.

While the house has beenlifted, much of its heritagematerial has been retained,according to heritage consul-tant Donald Luxton.

“We have to be realisticabout what it will require

to preserve the Thomsonhouse,” he said, calling thesubdivision a very reasonableway to maintain heritage.

The issue is now closed tocomment following the publichearing.

The North Shore’sheritage advocates aremounting a blitz to savethe area’s remaining heri-tage homes as they comeunder threat of demoli-tion and redevelopment.

The North Shore HeritagePreservation Society spenttwo weeks going door to doorand pamphleteering roughly700 homes with heritagevalue in hopes of informingthe owners what incentivesare available to them topreserve and protect thehome, rather than sell themas tear-downs.

The campaign, which wasfollowed up with a publicmeeting organized by thesociety on Wednesday night,

has netted some impressiveresults and a few hiddengems, Clay said.

“It got a lot of interest.I think we had between 80and 100 people (Wednesday)night. I have never seen alineup for one of our eventsthat doesn’t serve wine,” shesaid. “We literally had peopleout the door.”

The event featuredtalks from heritage expertDonald Luxton as well asheritage planners from allthree municipalities wholet homeowners know whatoptions were on the table inheritage revitalization agree-ments. Among them: heritagedesignation and covenants,the addition of extra squarefootage to the home, coachhouses and secondary suites,relaxation of parking spacerequirements, relocating thehome on the same propertyor subdividing the lot for anew home construction orsome combination of theabove.

“It’s important to knowyou can do these things nowwhile you’re living in thehome but you don’t neces-sarily have to proceed withthe actual development. Youcan set it up on paper. It’sattached to the title of theproperty so that when it’ssold, the house is alreadydesignated heritage,” Claysaid.

The campaign is spe-cifically targeting olderhomeowners who likely havelived in the home for a longtime and, as the preservationsociety sees it, are more likelyto have a sentimental desireto see the house preserved.

“They’re the ones who puttheir blood, sweat and tearsinto the restoration of thehome and feel helpless anddon’t know what to do to pro-tect it before they sell,” shesaid. “We felt the excavatorsand developers breathingdown our necks, so timing iscrucial.”

While locking up a bunch

of old-timers with perma-nent protection might be aheritage preservationist’sdream, revitalizations agree-ments are often resisted bythe neighbouring community,Clay acknowledged. Typicalgrievances are that the sub-divisions and coach housesbring unwanted change andmore people living on whatused to be a single-family lot.But, Clay said, it’s either thator outright demolition andredevelopment, which stillbrings change and sacrificesa tangible link to a commu-nity’s past.

“We can’t reasonablyexpect we’re going to pre-serve all heritage homes,as-is, on double lots or evensingle lots without somekind of development into thefuture, given the demand forhousing,” she said. “Peoplehave to expect change. Theyhave to be flexible. There hasto be compromise and therehas to be neighbourhoodconsultation.”

These old houses

There’s a debate frequentlyplaying out on the North Shore,pitting the retention of heri-tage against the desires of theneighbourhood.

Heritage homes are notoriously expen-sive to maintain. Very few owners anddevelopers will be willing to save them forthe love of heritage alone, especially whenthe market is crying out for more pinkstucco boxes built to the maximum allow-able setback.

But there’s a predictable pushbackfrom the community if saving the homethrough a heritage revitalization agree-ment means subdivision, a coach house orsome other incentive. We saw it recentlywithWest Vancouver’s Vinson House andSykes Residence and again this week atthe public hearing for a project that wouldsave Carisbrooke’s 1913 Thomson Houseby subdividing the lot and allowing a new

home to be built.But the level of vitriol levelled at the

Thomson House proposal was more inline with what we’d expect when councilis considering a recovery house, a high-density tower or a port terminal. One newhome on a smaller lot is probably moreinnocuous than the opposition maintains.

While wemight like to fantasize ourneighbourhoods will stay just the way welike them until the end of time, this isn’trealistic, especially when there are devel-opers’ bulldozers fuelled up and idling inthe driveway.

We’d encourage our residents andcouncils to take the long view – really long.These old houses are our physical link topast and they’re irreplaceable. Even afterwe’re gone from this earth, the neighbour-hood will remain. The point of preservingheritage isn’t for our benefit, but for thebenefit of those yet to come.

Idon’t know about you,but I often think of theNorth Shore as a sanctu-ary from the madness of

the world.The world is a pretty

ferocious place, and everyday, it just seems to getnastier. This week, the UNRefugee Agency said thereare now 65.3-million peopledriven from their homesby the forces of chaos. Aworld record! That’s 24people a minute; 98,000 are“unaccompanied” children,homeless and alone.

While I’m sitting prettyon my balcony with asteaming mug of morningcoffee and a newspaper,listening to the birds sing, Ithink about those 24 peoplea minute for a minute, andthen turn the page.

It’s not the noblest feel-ing; if I’m being honest, it’slike “I’m safe and I’d like tostay that way, thank you.”

When some lunatic

slaughters the patrons in abar in Orlando, I shake myhead and mutter thanksthat I’m about as far awayfrom there as you can beand still be on the samecontinent.

Of course, just south ofthe Peace Arch is a nationwhere everyone has a gun.That’s not an exaggera-tion. There are 300 millionfirearms in the U.S. for apopulation of 319 million

people, making it the num-ber one gun-owning nationon earth.

According to StatsCan,Canadians have about sevenmillion guns, still lots if youpile them in a heap. Butif you do a little figuring,that comes to 0.2 guns perperson, so it would takeat least five people to puttogether one gun, and asthe prospect of getting fivepeople to work togetheron anything is slim, I feelrelatively safe.

Add to the fact that any-one who wants to buy a gunin Canada must have a validlicence under the FirearmsAct and to get that, youhave to take a safetycourse, submit to criminalhistory and backgroundchecks, provide personalreferences, and undergo amandatory waiting period. Ifyou still want a gun after allthat, you’re one dedicatedshootist.

In the U.S., you can buythe same assault rifle usedby the Orlando murdererin seven minutes. At leastthat’s what a reporter forthe Philadelphia Daily Newswas able to do - even inthe wake of the Orlandooutrage. Will those peoplenever learn?

Yes, if you go through allthat background rigmarole,you can actually buy anAR-15 assault rifle, whichis the weapon of choice forAmerican mass murderers,right here in Vancouver. Butin Canada, they come with afive-round clip, one shot ata time. The Orlando murderweapon has a 30-round clip;at one point the assas-sin fired 20 shots in nineseconds.

My point is, and I dohave one, is that right downto the details, it’s safer here.If we’re smart, maybe wecan talk Donald Trump intobuilding a wall between us

and the U.S. and get them topay for it.

As for those 65-millionhomeless people, we’redoing our bit. We’re openingour arms to 25,000 refu-gees, and here on the NorthShore, because of the short-age of affordable rentalhousing, we’re makingroom for less than a dozen.Aspiring Canadians in aTurkish refugee camp havea greater chance of winningLotto 64/9 than actuallyboarding a plane and endingup on the North Shore.

Sanctuary is a fragilething. One man’s sanctuaryis another fool’s paradise.The number one reasonAmericans cite for owning agun is self-defense. And in anation that recorded nearly37,000 deaths and injuriesfrom shootings in 2015, it’snot just stinkin’ thinkin’.Canada, by the way, had 172gun-related homicides in2012. And that’s too many!

But is this haven on thePacific a fool’s paradise?Many would argue that itis. A hotbed of “first worldproblems”: real estate isexpensive because every-one wants to live here; thehealth-care system is over-burdened because here,more people survive to oldage, when the wheels fall offat once.

Yet the real problems,which seem so far away as Ienjoy a cup of coffee on myleafy balcony, are alwayslurking nearby, just waitingfor the opportunity to dis-rupt our happy little lives.

Just ask the people ofFort McMurray.

Defunct boat rampat LionsGate deserves a second lookDear Editor:

The recent decision by theDistrict of West Vancouverto close the Ambleside boatramp (to power boaters) whileunfortunate, was predictableand unstoppable. It was theeasy way out - convenientlyleveraging the Spirit Trail asjustification for the elimina-tion of decades of history.Interesting how Cates Parkmanages to make things worksafely with a five-lane ramp -yet Ambleside “can’t” with onelane. But I digress...and like itor not, the decision has beenmade.

As part of the dialogue thatwent with the decision, refer-ence wasmade to “a long-goneboat ramp under the LionsGate Bridge.” Well, the rampis not “long gone” and in fact

is still there, but not service-able. Andmore importantly,not accessible. The land onceassociated to that ramp hasbeen consumed by the cur-rent Lions GateWastewaterTreatment Plant and is notaccessible by the public.

However, perhaps not all islost. With the construction of anew sewage treatment plant atthe old B.C. Rail station loca-tion, the existing Lions Gateplant will be persistent, but itsduties will change and it won’trequire the same amount ofreal estate it currently does.A quick look shows the areacurrently occupied by soon-to-be-defunct settling tanks couldbe re-purposed for easy in/outparking and the land associ-ated to the current rampcould be made usable pretty

easily - if the district wantedit to be and took the reins tomake it so.

Just a suggestion. The dis-trict could maybe have a lookat a partnership with localanglers to upgrade that oldramp to a multi-lane and addin some parking for trailers.

No one expects to usethe ramp for free - it wouldgenerate revenue, though aswith other special purposepublic amenities - pools, rinks,libraries, parks, communityhalls etc. - it would never makemoney.

And it would provide a safelocation to launch small boats- somethingWest Van hasprovided for years and needsto still.Rob StokesNorth Vancouver

Bellevue tower decision shortsightedDear Editor:

Re: Bellevue TowerProposal Toppled, NorthShore News, June 8.

I can’t believe the short-sightedness of somemembersof our council in preventingthe subject proposal fromgoing to a public hearing.Tome the proposal sounds

highly desirable and an excit-ing transformation of therundownMasonic Hall.

The proposal would yieldbadly needed additionalresidential dwellings to ourcommunity and given the chal-lenges faced by the developerin a location which is situatedacross from amajor BC Hydro

substation, a reasonabledegree of flexibility in approv-ing same is in order.

As far as a teen centreis concerned, how aboutconverting one of the “gallery”waterfront homes owned bythe municipality.DonWeberWest Vancouver

MORRIS FOR MAYOR 2018For A Return To“Common Sense”Property Taxes

On April 4th, 2016, the City of North Vancouver’s Director of Finance went beforecouncil recommending a property tax increase of 3.9%. At the back of that report

was confirmation that “...the property taxincrease calculated under Option 1 (attach-ment 1) is estimated at ... .... 10.9% for theaverage single dwelling unit.”But the truth is many home owners receivedtax invoices well above that average. Mine was20% higher, my neighbours - 30%, a friend onEast 8th and another onWest 16th bothreceived 35% increases. But the questioneveryone should be asking is why?The City banked an annual income surplus of$71.2 M(million) in 2015, $10.4 M in 2014 and$38.0 M in 2013. Given that we have increasedour cash savings by $119.6M over the last 3years, why are we raising taxes at all?kerrymorris.ca | 778.847.1249

A new putting greenthat’s popped up incentral Lonsdale is anace in the hole for theneighbourhood.

Residents had petitioned

the City of North Vancouverfor a multi-use green atSamWalker Park, located atEast Eight and St. AndrewsAvenue, saying the spacewasn’t being used very much.

Council ran with the novelidea, endorsing the artificialturf as part of a 2014 projectplan that included a $50,000upgrade to the park. A newtrash can, benches, drink-ing water fountain and bikerack have also been installedin the park, which is some-times referred to as Walker

Triangle. The artificial turf– seen as a win-win for thecity and area residents – hasalready seen some action,although it won’t officiallyopen for another week.

“The benefits were thatputting greens are quitesmall, low maintenanceand multi-use,” said ConnieRabold, spokesperson for thecity. Those multi-uses mightinclude yoga or exercise, shenoted. “And as a new featureit’s attracting folks as well asnew user groups to the park.”

JOHN [email protected]

Derek Trucks taps into history every time he picksup his guitar. The nephew of Allman Brothers’ drum-mer Butch Trucks he grew up in an environmentsaturated in southern myth and the legend of DuaneAllman.

Trucks began performing as a professional musicianalmost as soon as he could hold an instrument and in histeens was already sharing the stage with the likes of BobDylan and Buddy Guy. It wasn’t so much a vocation for theyoung slide guitarist as a way of life played out 24/7.

With the Tedeschi Trucks Band, the powerful ensemblehe formed in 2010 with his wife Susan Tedeschi, Trucks fol-lows in the footsteps of the two-drummer Allman Brothersand other southern juggernauts such as Delaney & Bonnieand Friends. Bands put together like extended families with

accompanying horn sec-tions, backup singers and asoulful camaraderie forgedon the road.

The Tedeschi TrucksBand plays a blues-basedrock which can and usuallydoes take off in a numberof other improvisationaldirections bringing in jazz,gospel, country roots andIndian classical influences aswell. A soulful southern stewprepared by 12 masterfulmusicians.

Trucks talked to the North Shore News earlier this weekabout the band and their upcoming tour which takes themacross North America through the summer. They will finishup with a six-night stand at New York City’s Beacon Theaterin October, something the Allman Brothers Band did annu-ally for many years and Tedeschi Trucks intend to keep thattradition alive.

NorthShoreNews: You seem to have been born tomakemusic.Does it seem that way to you? Did you ever consider anythingelse?DerekTrucks: Not really. It definitely feels that way at times. Istarted playing at nine years old and didn’t really think a wholelot about it at that time. You kind of do what you do but since I’vestarted playing I never thought about doing anything else. It’sbeen a good twenty-something years of being on the road andtrying to carry it on and keep the flame lit in a lot of ways. Keepthe intensity and not let up.

NSN: Canada played a part in the very early part of your careerwhen you travelled to Toronto for a gig. How did that comeabout?DerekTrucks: I think the first show I ever played outside ofJacksonville was the Toronto Jazz and Blues Festival. Maybe 1989,I think that sounds right. That was a whole newworld. I hadn’ttravelled toomuch outside the city or state at that point. It wasan exciting road trip. I think I rode in the front of the RV the wholeway, just watching the highway pass by. I’ve gotten used to those

West Vancouver’s FerryBuilding Gallery is oneof three Lower Mainlandart spaces hosting thefirst Canada InternationalWatercolour Biennale July5 to 24.

The project was createdby North Shore watercolourartist and architect AlfonsoTejada, Canadian head of theInternational WatercolourSociety (IWS).

The IWS is an interna-tional non-profit organizationestablished in 2012 withthe objective of promotingthe world’s oldest andmostdeeply rooted painting tech-nique – the art of watercolourpainting.

When asked what inspiredhim tomake this project areality Tejada said “my interestin bringing this exhibitionto Canada and specificallyVancouver is to sharemyappreciation and passion forwatercolour that I have expe-rienced while painting andteaching with renowned artistsin Europe. I want to foster

awareness here amongst art-ists and the public so that theydeepen their understanding ofthe unique beauty of waterco-lour painting in an artistic andexploratory way.”

An international jury ofprominent watercolour artists– John Salminen, Keiko Tanabe,and Pablo Ruben Lopez Sanz– selected the works withprestigious groups participat-ing such as the Gorlini Schoolof Arts in Milan and AEDA,the Spanish Association ofWatercolour artists in Madrid.

On exhibition are 175 artworks in three venues fromartists and InternationalWatercolour Associations inSpain, Taiwan, India, Belgium,Australia, Poland, Greece,Russia, Romania, Mexico,Israel, Italy, Sweden, Mongolia,Iran, Nigeria, Vietnam, Nepal,Canada, USA, Slovenia,Portugal, Pakistan, Philippines,Thailand, Malaysia,Netherlands, Peru andmore.

Other participatinggalleries with exhibitionsrunning concurrently areNorth Vancouver’s CityscapeCommunity Art Space July 7to 30 and International ArtsGallery in Vancouver July 9to 25.

Standout cast shine in Ibsen’smoodyblues! TheDaughter.DirectedbySimonStone.StarringGeoffreyRush,PaulSchneider,OdessaYoung,EwenLeslieandSamNeill.Rating:8 (outof 10)

JULIE CRAWFORDContributingWriter

Closeted skeletons nevergo out of fashion, asHenrik Ibsen’s 1884 playThe Wild Duck and SimonStone’s new brooding filmadaptation prove.

Paternity, scandal and thepercolating potential for vio-lence are at the fore of both;the catalyst is the son whoreturns to his father after alengthy absence with nothingbut bile and subliminal plansfor revenge.

Christian (PaulSchneider) arrives in NewSouth Wales from America,back for his father’s wed-ding to his housekeeper, adecades-younger woman.Sawmill baron Henry (Oscarwinner Geoffrey Rush)hopes for reconciliationbut Christian still grieveshis mother, who committedsuicide years previous.

Christian bumps intohis old friend Oliver (EwenLeslie), whose family hasmore than one tie to his own:Oliver’s dad Walter (SamNeill) went to jail for helping

Henry cook his corporatebooks, and it is revealedthat Oliver’s wife (MirandaOtto, Homeland) was brieflyHenry’s housekeeper.

Two pivotal events areHenry’s fault: first, he closesdown the sawmill, the heartof the town, setting off anexodus of people leaving to

find work. Then there’s theshooting of a duck, whichWalter saves and adds to hismenagerie of wounded andabandoned animals, housedin a makeshift Eden in thebackyard.

The men reminisce inthe days leading up to thewedding, while Christian’s

agitation over his own dete-riorating marriage and hisdad’s new one causes him tostart drinking again.

Central to everythingis Hedvig (Odessa Young),Oliver’s bright, spiriteddaughter. Oliver is deter-mined that she get outof their stifling town and

realize the potential that hesquandered. She is happi-est hanging out with herboyfriend, or tending to thewounded duck with grandfa-ther Walter.

The film is largely paintedin moody blues and greys,near darkness and half-light, while a score by Mark

Bradshaw enhances the fore-boding. History, recent andpast, is doled out in moodyincrements. One characterwith nothing to lose selfishlybelieves catharsis is the bestthing for everyone, conse-quences be damned. Thereare lots of unexpected twists:we know things will erupt,we just don’t know who willbe affected first, or how far itwill go.

The notion that one fam-ily is doing nothing but harmwhile another is preventingtragedy and/or picking up thepieces is hammered homeseveral times; then, of course,there’s the metaphor of theduck with the wounded wing.But first-time feature directorStone winds the allegory intoscenes of such authenticitythat we don’t mind.

The Daughter is furtherelevated by excellent, naturalperformances from veteransand newbies alike. Leslie,in particular, delivers astandout portrayal: every-man optimism shattered byunthinkable betrayal.

There is loss of inno-cence, death, and griefunheeded; of living the lifeyou didn’t expect and thedestructive power of secrets.So long as there are peoplelike Stone carefully curatingthem, such themes will nevergo out of style.

JEREMY [email protected]

A ruse got him into theband.

There was talent, timing,and that similarity of tastethat turns intomusical kin-ship – but if it wasn’t for oneeggshell-white lie – Ches Smithmight never have hit drums forCeramic Dog.

Bass player ShahzadIsmaily asked if Smith everheard of a guy namedMarcRibot.

Marc Ribot? The guitaristwho turned Beatles tunes intoblues licks that soundedmorelike theMississippi Delta thanLiverpool Bay? The guy whokept up with TomWaits whenthe illegitimate love child ofFrank Sinatra and his whiskey-lubricated piano were goingplaces they’d never beenbefore?

That guy?Yeah, Smith had heard of

him.“He’s looking for a drum-

mer and I was wondering ifyou wanted to come out andmaybe try out for this newband in New York,” Ismaily

said – or at least, that’s howSmith remembers it.

Smith has a tendency tobe busy. He crafts jazz-tinged,twisted pop for MadLove, heand Ismaily concoct musicalexperiments for Secret Chiefs3; his sticks whisper across thecymbals when playing jazz forTim Berne’s Snakeoil and theypound the snares like they owehimmoney for metal groupTanks.

Stuck between not quitebelieving Ismaily but not quitedisbelieving him, either, Smithprepared for his audition date– which he was assured hadbeen confirmed.

“I found out later that it wasthemorning of the so-calledaudition that Ismaily hadactually got a hold of Marc andset it up for the same day,” hesays. “Not even close to con-firmed at all, but it somehowmagically worked out.”

Playing with Ribot pre-sented its own challenges.Musical charts can resembleslapdash inkblots, but Smithreports that Ribot’s charts

verge on the Rorschachian.“He’ll just write it down

once and then work with that,whichmeans a lot of cross-ing out and then sometimesarrows pointing back at thething he crossed out, like, ‘No, Idomean play this, actually.’”

Smith, Ismaily and Ribotbecame Ceramic Dog.

“What’s unique about thisband,” Smith explains, “espe-cially for a New York band, iswe just get together to practiseand write for fun.”

After initially cultivatingthe kind of sound you’d crossthe street to avoid passing onthe sidewalk, Ceramic Dog haslessened their hostility – a bit.

Their most recent release,2013’s Your Turn, opens with atrack that marries grunge-likeguitar distortion to singalongchoruses that wouldn’t soundout of place on a Lynrd Skynrdrecord.

The standout track is likely“Masters of the Internet,” anincendiary tune backed by arhythmmade for stompingwith a vaguelyMiddle Eastern

melody wrapped around achant.

They don’t have homes orfamilies, Ribot spits at onlinemusic thieves, “We’re slaveswho only live to serve theMasters of the Internet.”

“The earliest stuff wasmostaggressive,” Smith explains.“And then it’s also teetered onthis balance betweenmetalmusic andmore groove-ori-ented stuff.”

Smith has a long history ofteetering.

As a kid, drumming wasalmost a neighbourhood sport.His big brother set off for ahouse down the block full ofyoung kids playing fills anddrum rolls, and, in the spirit oflittle brothers everywhere, hefollowed.

“I was just trying to hangwith the big kids,” he recalls.

Smith played along withhis mom’s Beatles records,later incorporating influencesfrom Rolling Stones’ drummerCharlieWatts and Led Zeppelinmadman John Bonham.

At 16, he found jazz.

“I had a drum teacher, hewas always tellingme aboutTonyWilliams onMiles Davisrecords,” Smith remembers.“He was also into a lot of rockand punk rock, so he wassomeone I could trust.”

He fell under the spell ofWilliams, Elvin Jones, andlegendary drummer andbandleader ChickWebb.

“It wasn’t long before thatwas all I was listening to.”

That emphasis on impro-visation is part of the reasonSmith can pivot from darkmetal to blue jazz withoutmissing a beat.

“I like the challenge of play-ing a lot of different kinds ofmusic,” he says.

He’ll likely have thatchallenge tonight at CapilanoUniversity.

“Marc had this idea that allthree of us individually – with-out talking to each other – aregoing to bring in setlists to seeif wemagically all wrote thesame setlist,” he says, laugh-ing. “I’m going to jammine fullof the newest things.”

MUSIC | A21FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 2016 northshorenews nsnews.com

roads quite a bit since, though.

NSN: What was the band youwere playing with?Derek Trucks: It was a bluesband out of Jacksonville,Florida at the time. The leadsinger was fromOklahoma.His namewas AceMorelandand the bandwas calledAceMoreland and theWestSide Story. I think the clubwe played at the time wascalled Downtown Brown’s. Itwas this little club that wasunderground right across fromthe park. Themain festivalwas across in the park and weplayed in this little club and Iwould sit in for two or threesongs a set.

NSN: You do have sports inthe blood as well throughbaseball pitcher Virgil Trucks.Is sports still a part of yourlife?Derek Trucks: Oh yea, we’rebig sports fans. My son is abaseball player, a great pitcherand third baseman. He’s 14now so he keeps that alive. Bigsports fans, I mean we haveJaguar seasons tickets. It’sbeen slow going the last fewyears but we’ve seen a fewof the Seahawks SuperBowlstoo – wewere there for the winand the loss unfortunately.

NSN: Duane Allman pops up alot in connection with you andyourmusic. When did you firstbecome aware of him as a kid?Derek Trucks:As far back asI can remember. I remembermy dad puttingme andmybrother to sleep by playingvinyl in our room. It wouldbe the Fillmore East and Eat aPeach and those records. TheLayla record. That music wasalways there long before I wasplaying. Really my first musicalmemories are of those albumsspinning. (NSN: Almost likelullabies). Totally and lookingback on it I remember whenI finally joined the AllmanBrothers and starting to learnthose tunes a lot of it feltsecond nature. It was all in thesubconscious I had heard it somuch growing up that it reallydid feel like it was secondnature.

NSN: What does Duane’slegacymean to you?Derek Trucks:Hewas animportant figure. I think thefact that he went out so young.He had just this incredibleintegrity and fierceness to hisplaying – and certainly beingaround for the 15 years that Iwas in it, his leadership fromthe early days still loomedlarge over that group. He was apowerful character. You couldsee withmy uncle and Gregg

and Jaimoe he was almost areligious figure for those guys.He was a serious leader. Ithink his vision for that groupand that it was verymuch aband, not him and his brotherand some sidemen, that’s bigreason that music has car-ried on. A lot of other thingshave come and gone but theforcefulness of that music hastranscended everything else.

NSN: Improvisation plays a bigpart in your sound. How didyou get interested in Indianclassical music and jazz? Twovast categories in themselves.Derek Trucks: I guess I was13, 14 years old – I was touringwith Col. Bruce Hampton andthe Aquarium Rescue Unit.The Colonel is sort of thissoutheasternmusical guru

kind of like a Zappa figure buta bit different. He turnedmeon to (John Coltrane’s) A LoveSupreme andGiant Steps andSun Ra records when I wasreally young. Just the way hewould speak about music itreally opened up a lot of doors.A drummer I was playing whoalso played with the Colonel,Jeff Sipe, turnedme on to AliAkbar Khan and Nusrat FatehAli Khan. Just amazingmusicaltraditions, both of them.

You know you are alwayssearching for the deepestpart of the well. I think whenit comes to Indian classical,someone like Ali Akbar Khancertainly occupies that spaceand I think John Coltrane injazz is one of those charac-ters so I kind of went downboth of those worm holes

and you know you never stoplistening, you never stoplearning from those things.

NSN: What amusical educa-tion you got there on the road.Derek Trucks: Absolutely. Alot of what we do is certainlymeeting the right people at theright time that kind of sets youoff on different paths and I waskind of lucky to run into thatcrewwhen I did.

NSN: Did you study with AliAkbar Khan?Derek Trucks: I never got tofully study with him.Wheneverwe would travel out to SanRafael around San Franciscowewould go visit his collegeand sit in on classes. I wasalways on the road I nevergot to jump fully in. It wascertainly an education sittingin. He wouldmake all theinstrumentalists take vocalclasses because his thing wasyou should be singing themelodies through your instru-ment. A lot of those lessonsdefinitely took.

NSN: You play a wide range ofmusic, including instrumentalpieces, how does Susan’svocals fit into your music?DerekTrucks: I think in someways it was full circle for me

Improvisation important to the sound

See Tedeschi page 24

From page 11 You are always searching for thedeepest part of thewell. I thinkwhen it comes to Indian classical,someone like Ali Akbar Khancertainly occupies that spaceand I think John Coltrane in jazzis one of those characters so Ikind ofwent down both of thosewormholes and you know younever stop listening, you neverstop learning from those things.

because growing up reallykeying in on records like theFillmore East, Eat a Peachand the Dominos stuff it wasalways that balance betweenimprovisation and these amaz-ing instrumental sections andpassages and great songs anda great vocalist.

That’s always where myroots have been and then asyou’re growing and learningand going down differentpaths you’re experimentingand you’re trying all thesedifferent things. I think for methe perfect setup was alwaystrying to find a place whereyou could wander as far asyou wanted to musically butthere was still a great songand a great vocalist there.This has been in a lot of waysall of that coming to fruitionfinally.

NSN:That explains the newalbum to a T. There is anorganic nature to the band andthat’s amazing consideringhow large it is.DerekTrucks: It takes timegigging and playing togetherand learning each other toget to that point but I feel likewhen we started recordingthis record it certainly jelled.I feel like the band in a lotof ways came into its ownaround this time. Everybodywrote the songs together. Ifelt there was a lot of synergyand a lot of great music thatappeared around that time.

NSN: How does the writingprocess work with the band?Do you set time aside in yourhome studio? Do youmaketime on the road?DerekTrucks: We do it in dif-ferent ways. Some of the ideaswill come up at a soundcheckand we’ll record them and tryand remember them. A lot ofit is just spontaneous in thestudio. Some of the songs willcome in as sketches. MikeMattison will have a sketch orme and Doyle will write a fewtunes together and then weget together with the band andthe songs expand from there.

A lot of times we’ll get thecore of the band, the rhythmsection, me and Susan andjust play. A lot of ideas comeout of that. At least this timearound - it was pretty spon-taneous the way the recordcame together. We were reallygetting together to rehearsefor a tour and maybe workup some new tunes just togig. There were so many newsong ideas that were floatingaround we (changed thingsaround) and turned it into arecording session. Once westarted down that road therewas no stopping it. It’s nicewhen it turns out that way. Icould feel that the band waskind of chomping at the bitto get back in. It was really

productive last go-roundso everybody was ready tohit the studio and start thewriting process again. I’mcertainly ready.

NSN: What are the logistics ofgetting everybody together?DerekTrucks: It’s a feat keep-ing 12 people on the road andall that goes with it. Generallywe’ll fly the core of the bandin first and get started with asmaller band, five or six piece,and then we’ll have the hornsection come in and then thesingers but it’s easier just toget started with the core. Itseems to move a little morefluid that way.

NSN: How did the Mad Dogsand Englishmen concert comeabout last year at the Lockn’Festival in Arrington, Virginia?DerekTrucks: They’re alwaystrying to get artists to collabo-rate, maybe a band and a soloartist, and they had come tous about Joe Cocker sitting inwith our group at that festival.We were certainly into theidea, we had reached out tohim and he was interested.About the time we startedgoing down that road he gotsick and then we heard hewasn’t going to be touring.The next thing we know hepassed away.

That next year the festivalasked us to do a Joe Cockertribute. I didn’t feel totallycomfortable doing it, we’donly talked briefly and Ididn’t (know him very well).We talked about the Mad

Dogs thing and I knew Leon(Russell). We’d just playedwith Leon and if he was intoit we would certainly be abacking band for him andany of the Mad Dogs if itwas something that he wasinterested in.

I didn’t think he wouldreally be into it just becauseit was a one-time tour. Younever know how people feelabout those things but wereached out to Leon andto our surprise he was intothe idea of doing it with ourband. We started reachingout to Rita Coolidge andClaudia Lennear and BobbyTorres and Chris Stainton,who I played with in theClapton band, and every-body was just excited to doit. And then people startedreaching out to us who hadbeen a part of the band whenword started getting out. Ourthing was whoever was there‘Come on.’

We ended up having 22people on stage betweentheir band and our band itwas a pretty amazing threeor four days I’ve got to say. Itwas just this amazing reunion40 years since they had doneit and the music was betterthan I had even hoped. Thosethings can go a few differentways but that one exceededeverybody’s expectations. Itreally was a magical few days.

NSN: Would you ever dosomething like that again?DerekTrucks: Maybe. It wentso well part of me wants to

leave it there. I feel if you keepon going back to the well itwon’t have the same spirit.There’s something nice aboutit just ending on top at leastour portion of it. It was sogood I know it would be fun todo it again. My gut tells me itshould just be a stand-alonething.

NSN: Looking at your touritinerary the Beacon Theatrelooms large at the end ofthe summer. What does thatvenue mean to you?Derek Trucks: In some waysI feel it’s a great way for theband to check in and it’s agreat test for the band everyyear to go back to the sameplace. You have to makesure you’ve made significantprogress from one year to thenext. When you’re doing sixnights you want to make sureyou can make each one of thesix nights different musicallyand work at a high level. Ifeel it’s like a self-imposedchallenge every year to goin there as a band and raisethe bar a little bit. I probablyplayed 150, 175 shows withthe Allman Brothers in thatroom. That room feels verymuch like home and in someways we wanted to carry onthat tradition. We moved itto a different time of year soit wasn’t fully tied to that.New York’s an amazing placethat’s certainly something wegear up for every year. It feelslike the playoffs. You’ve gotto be on it when you hit theBeacon Theatre.

Argyle studententerspageantCHRISTINE [email protected]

A North Vancouver highschooler is vying for the MissTeen BC crown.

Tamara Akpo, a Grade 11 stu-dent at Argyle secondary, is among55 contestants from across theprovince who will compete for thetitles of Miss BC, Mrs. BC and MissTeen BC over the Canada Day longweekend.

This is the first time the 16-year-old has participated in a pageant,though she’s watched them on TV.

“I did some research on pag-eants and found Miss Teen BC andthought it would be cool to join,”she says.

Akpo is being sponsored in herbid for the crown by Pro NursingHomecare Support. She and the17 other contestants in the teendivision will be evaluated in fourcategories: personal expression insportswear; personal expression inan evening gown; a private inter-view with the judging panel; anda public onstage interview in thefinal showcase, which takes placeJuly 3 at the Chief Sepass Theatrein Fort Langley.

Contestants are also encour-aged to raise money for the MissBC program’s charity of choice,Cops for Cancer. To date, the pag-eant has raised more than $259,000for the cause.

Leading up to the final showand crowning event, Akpo andher fellow hopefuls will receivetraining in modelling, interview-ing, manners and etiquette,self-defence, choreography andself-esteem and assertiveness.

Miss BC is not a “beauty”

pageant, according to its website.Rather, the mission of the programis to recognize young women fortheir personal accomplishmentsand community involvement. Itseeks to help contestants achievetheir goals through workshops andseminars that help enhance self-esteem and personal development.And unlike many other pageants,there is no maximum age limit toenter and there aren’t any heightor weight restrictions.

In her spare time, Akpo worksas a background performer in filmand TV and is a member of Argyle’sbasketball and cheerleading teams.She also enjoys working out at thegym and cooking.

“I like being involved with thecommunity and helping people,”she says, noting she volunteerswith kids at her church and hopesto also do some volunteer work atLions Gate Hospital.

If she wins the Miss Teen BCtitle, she could go on to competein a national pageant and eventu-ally represent Canada on the worldstage.

In addition to the big threetitleholders – Miss BC, Mrs. BCand Miss Teen BC – there will alsobe winners announced in regionalcategories such as Miss LowerMainland and Miss VancouverIsland, among others. Meanwhile,the public is invited to vote fortheir favourite contestant for thePeople’s Choice Award at missbc.cauntil June 29.

CHRISTINE [email protected]

Amanda Tosoff has a waywith words.

Her fifth album, fittinglytitledWords, marks the firsttime the Toronto-based jazzmusician has incorporatedvocals into her composi-tions. The nine new tracksfeature not her own words,mind you, but a medleyof poems and lyrics fromclassic English literature,the contemporary Canadianrepertoire, and her own fam-ily members – all set to heroriginal music.

The new release is “a bitof a departure from whatI’ve done in the past” notesthe Capilano University

grad, whose last four albumsfocused mainly on instru-mental modern jazz.

“This project is a littledifferent because it involvespoems that I’ve found thatreally speak to me,” Tosoffsays. “Because of that, itnaturally morphed intosomething a little bit differ-ent. It’s got elements of jazz,obviously, but also a bit offolk, a bit of pop, a bit ofclassical as well.”

The eclectic album wasreleased back in March, andTosoff is now taking it onthe road for a jazz festivaltour, which includes a stopin Vancouver June 30 aspart of the TD VancouverInternational Jazz Festival.Joining her on tour arevocalist Felicity Williams,guitarist Alex Goodman,bassist Jon Maharaj anddrummer Morgan Childs, allof whom are featured on therecording.

The opening track is alight and ethereal musi-cal adaptation of WilliamWordsworth’s “Daffodils”– one of Tosoff’s longtime

favourite poems. She’salso written melodies toaccompany contemporaryCanadian poems, suchas “Owl Pellet” by TimBowling and “The First Dayof Winter” by Laura Lush.Tosoff’s sister, MelissaMansfield, contributed lyricsfor two songs on the album,and her father and uncle,Lloyd and Ted Tosoff, bothsinger-songwriters, wrotethe words to “Living in thePast.”

“It’s a bit of a mix of mate-rial,” Tosoff says, admittingshe’s not exactly a poetrybuff and only recentlydiscovered some of the writ-ers she decided to feature.“I just came across theirpoems and was so moved bythem that I had to write.”

The process of settingpre-written material tomusic was an improvisa-tional one for Tosoff. She’dsit at her piano, try singingthe first line, record it, andlisten back. From there, she

added instrumentation tocapture the mood. “It justcame out naturally,” shesays.

Tosoff was raised in amusical household – notsurprising considering theheavy presence of her rela-tives on her latest album.

“My family is quitemusical. My mom playedclassical piano growing up,my dad’s written countrysongs and would alwaysplay, and my whole extendedfamily is also very musical.”

She developed a passionfor music as a high schoolstudent at White Rock’sSemiahmoo secondary.

“They have a fantasticmusic program and that’swhere I got really interestedand saw it was something Icould pursue,” she says. “Iplayed some other instru-ments along the way, butpiano was always the onethat was my favourite.”

It was in high school thatTosoff found herself drawn

to jazz and she went on tostudy the genre at CapilanoUniversity. Since then, she’sperformed with internation-ally recognized artists suchas Ingrid Jensen, Emilie-Claire Barlow, Phil Dwyer,Christine Jensen, BradTurner, Kelly Jefferson, andJodi Proznick. She receivedthe CBC Galaxie Rising StarAward at the 2007 VancouverInternational Jazz Festivaland the General MotorsGrand Prix de Jazz at the2009 Montreal Jazz Festival.She also earned a master’sdegree from the Universityof Toronto.

Tosoff says she’s eagerto return to Vancouverto perform in front of herhometown family andfriends.

“I don’t think I wouldeven be a musician if itweren’t for the Vancouvercommunity and all my teach-ers and colleagues,” shesays. “I’m just really, reallyexcited to come home.”

General Motors is the firstof the Big Three to returnto the midsize pickuptruck market with theChevrolet Colorado.

For the last few years, ifyou were looking for a com-pact or mid-size pickup, therewas little choice. After thedomestic manufacturers leftthe market, customers had todecide between the ToyotaTacoma or Nissan Frontier.

The introduction of the

all-new Colorado in 2015 –along with its sister model,the GMC Canyon – addedanother viable option in themarket place. For 2016, a newfour-cylinder Duramax dieselengine became available, aswell as a new technology likeApple CarPlay.

With Chevrolet makingsuch a strong comeback,Toyota and Nissan will needto kick it up a notch in orderto retain their market share.

DESIGNAlthough primarily

designed for people whowant to do traditional truckactivities like towing andhauling, Chevrolet alsowanted to ensure that theColorado can handle every-day city life like parking.

Seeking to separate itselffrom the rest of Chevy’s trucklineup, the Colorado has asportier look. GM focusedon aerodynamics and gave it

active grille shutters, a tail-gate spoiler, and a removablefront air dam.

To help keep weight down,the Colorado uses light-weight materials includinga segment-first aluminiumhood.

While there’s no argu-ing that the Colorado is amiddleweight, it is still builtlike a heavyweight. Like theSilverado, the Colorado has afully boxed perimeter frame,

which provides the strengthto support its capabilities, aswell as a comfortable ride.

Customers have thechoice between on ExtendedCab model with a six-foot-two-inch bed, a Crew Cabwith a five-two bed, or a CrewCab with a six-two bed. Thesix-two bed allows one tohaul eight-foot-long itemswith the tailgate down.

Colorado makes a statementChevrolet has jumped back in to the mid-size pickup market with the Colorado, a vehicle that offers the benefits of owning a truck while still being agile enough to get you around a busy city.The cabin is modern and comfortable, and the Colorado’s new turbo-diesel is probably the best engine in this segment.

Drunk driving laws not tough enoughI enjoy driving – I find ita pleasure and a joy.

Last Saturday I got up at 5a.m. in a cabin east of Lillooetand drove 1,000 kilometresin a single day, honking upthe highway (responsibly) toBella Coola and back downthrough the Fraser Canyon’stunnels. It was absolutelywonderful, and if I’d beenpreviously caught drivingwhile under the influence ofalcohol, it’s the kind of thingthat should absolutely bedenied to me. Driving is myprivilege; it is not my right.

There have been severalhigh-profile cases of impaireddriving recently, both locallyand nationally. It’s a story wehear all too often, where adrunk driver kills or injuressomebody who was justtrying to get home safely. I’msick of reading about it, and itneeds to stop.

There are multipledefinitions of driving whileimpaired, alcohol anddistracted driving being themost common. Texting anddriving still makes the head-lines these days, as drinkingand driving is no longersocially acceptable. Textingand driving is potentially justas dangerous, but it’s in thepublic eye these days, andthe police appear to have

multiple tools to deal with it,and the penalties are growingin severity.

But it’s disturbing thatdrinking and driving is stillsuch a problem. Still. Why?It’s even more disturbing thatpeople who are caught driv-ing while under the influenceseem to wriggle away. Thecurrent minimum is a 24-hourroadside suspension, whichwhile inconvenient, is hardlya deterrent.

There are two things thatwill prevent this sort of thingfrom happening, hopefullywithin my lifetime. The first istechnology: the semi-auton-omous car is already makingroads safer, with automaticbraking systems that canstop a car quicker thanany human’s reaction time,impaired or not. Initially only

available in luxury vehicles,this tech is trickling intoHondas and Toyotas, withthe latter planning on rollingout a suite of driver aids asstandard equipment.

As a result, cars may getmore expensive. Again, driv-ing is a privilege, and we’vegrown to accept and expecteverything from standardairbags to backup cameras.

Some time in the future,somebody will climb intotheir car after having had onetoo many, and head homeafter dark. They won’t seethe pedestrian crossing at

the light – but their car will.Nobody will get hurt. I hopeit happens sooner ratherthan later.

North Vancouver RCMP Const. Jas Dosanjh talks to a driver at a roadside checkstop. Police do an admirable job of catchingimpaired drivers, but the penalties for those who get busted need to be stiffer, writes Brendan McAleer. PHOTOMIKE WAKEFIELD

Unfortunately, withCanadians keeping our carsan average of around sevenyears, it’ll be a long timebefore technology is able tosave us from ourselves. Butthere is something we can dosooner, and it’s to call for theend of the 24-hour suspen-sion. It’s simply not enough.Driving while impaired isdangerous enough that thefirst offence needs to betreated with full and severepunishment.

While I’d like to joke thatoffenders be placed in apillory at Lonsdale Quay, orthat they be catapulted intoBurrard Inlet, this is simpleand serious advice. The man-datory minimum suspensionshould be 90 days, effectiveimmediately upon gettingbusted at the side of theroad.

Ninety days of taxicabs,buses, and just plain usingyour legs is enough to leavea lasting memory. Those whoscrew up will think twiceabout doing it again. The guywho wonders aloud why I’mturning down the lunchtimebeer won’t wonder any more.

If you drive through Lion’sBay completely sober at

100-plus kilometres per hour,they’ll take your car away.The road there seems easilysafe enough to support thespeed, but the deterrent isenough to have people lifttheir foot off the gas. Somefolks still go 90 km/h, but atleast they’re thinking aboutthe potential for major finesand confiscation and backingoff at least that much.

Similarly, the conse-quences for drinking anddriving should be so extremeas to be in the back of yourmind before you get in yourcar. It should be such a painin the ass to get caught thatyou’ll deal with leaving thecar parked and picking it upthe next day.

In short, the driver shouldface the consequencesbefore the public has to. I’vehad enough of this sort ofnonsense. I expect you haveas well.

Rugged truck bedrigged for hauling

Speaking about thetailgate, Chevrolet’s EZ Lift-and-Lower tailgate is simpleto lift with one hand and itlowers in a controlled andquiet manner. The standardCornerStep rear bumpermakes climbing into thebed easy and the availablefactory-installed spray-in bed-liner adds further refinement.

Boasting plenty of versa-tility, the Colorado comeswith a two-tier bed and 13tie-down locations with avail-able movable cargo tie-downrings.

The Colorado is alsoavailable with a whole hostof work and lifestyle acces-sories. These include abed-mounted sports barwhich gives it a rugged off-road appearance.

PERFORMANCEThe base engine is a

2.5-litre inline four-cylinder;with 200 horsepower and191 foot-pounds of torqueit is surprisingly strong andanyone with this motor willbe happy with its all-aroundperformance.

The inside of the Colorado is quiet and comfortable, making it a refined environment. All the controls are easy to use and thefront seats are surprisingly comfortable. PHOTO SUPPLIED

Distracteddriving finesgoway upNew distracted driving penalties effec-tive as of June 1 in British Columbiamean higher fines, more penalty pointsand possible driving prohibitions forrepeat offenders.

Each distracted driving offence is nowcalculated using the fine of $368, (up from$167) combined with escalating InsuranceCorporation of British Columbia driverpenalty point premiums and possible drivingprohibitions.* The base fine has increased to $368.* The number of penalty points per infractionis now four (up from three).* ICBC driver penalty point premiums startat $175 for the first four penalty points andescalate to a minimum $520 for a secondoffence within the same 12-month period.* First-time offenders face a minimum $543 infinancial penalties.* Repeat offenders, upon a second offencewithin 12 months will pay the $368 fine plus$520 for a total of $888 in financial penalties,which escalate further for any additionaloffence.

Distracted driving is now considered ahigh-risk driving offence, which makes itequivalent to excessive speeding, drivingwithout due care and attention, and drivingwithout reasonable consideration. Repeatoffenders will have their driving record sub-ject to automatic review, which could resultin a three-to-12-month driving prohibition.

Smooth diesel enginesets Colorado apart

Standard on LT and Z71models is a 3.6-litre V-6. Its305 h.p. is clearly much stron-ger, and its 269 foot-poundsof torque is quite impressiveindeed.

However, the premiumengine is a 2.8-litre turbo-diesel inline-four. This motorboasts 100 more foot-poundsof torque than the V-6, with369, and its 181 h.p. pro-vides a smoother drivingexperience than either of thegasoline engines.

All engines are mated to asix-speed automatic transmis-sion. If you want a six-speedmanual, you can get one on2WD Extended Cab models

with the 2.5-litre I4 engine.Also, all models are

available in two-wheel orfour-wheel drive configura-tion. The four-wheel drivesystem employs an electroni-cally controlled transfer casethat allows the driver to shiftfrom 2WD and 4WD.

Around town, the 2016Colorado offers a smooth,surprisingly quiet ride. Whileit won’t be confused for anSUV, it is more comfortablethan traditional midsizepickup trucks. Also helpingwith city life, it has a shortturning radius. The steeringfeel is also very good for atruck, with better-than-aver-age road feel.

The new Colorado is also

no slouch in terms of haulingcapability. The V-6 modelboasts up to 1,590 poundsof payload and up to 7,000pounds maximum trailering.The turbo-diesel takes itfurther with a maximumtrailering rating of 7,600pounds.

ENVIRONMENTWhile the Colorado seeks

to please traditional truckbuyers under the hood, itlooks to attract new custom-ers in the cabin.

On the whole, the insideof the Colorado is quiet andcomfortable making it arefined environment. All the

Colorado featuressurprisingly sharphandling for a truck

controls are easy to use andthe front seats are surpris-ingly comfortable. In CrewCab models there is greatamount of room in the rearseats.

Customers coming froman SUV will appreciate all thepremium features availablein the Colorado. Options likeheated seats, Apple CarPlayand an eight-inch touch-screen infotainment systemare highlights that are typi-cally not offered in trucks.

In an effort to not alien-ate those who appreciatethe ruggedness of a truck,the Colorado still usestough plastics and durableseat upholstery. Leather-appointed seating is availableif you prefer.

The standard radio comeswith one USB port, but theupgraded system ups thatto four. And of course, GM’sOnStar with 4G LTE and built-in Wi-Fi hotspot is available.

FEATURESStarting prices for the

2016 Colorado range from$21,420 to $38,030.

Standard equipmentincludes power windowsand locks, six-speaker audiosystem, rearview camera,cargo box light, and a lockingtailgate.

Additional features, avail-able as options or on highertrims, include keyless entry,remote start, auto-dimmingrearview mirror, heated

exterior mirrors, chromeaccents, and numerous boxcustomization items.

Fuel efficiency numbers(litres/100 kilometres for thegas four-cylinder are 11.9city and 8.9 highway. The V-6returns 13.6 city and 9.9 high-way. The new diesel is ratedat 10.8 city and 7.7 highway.

THUMBS UPThe Colorado’s new turbo-

diesel is probably the bestengine in this segment. Also,the cabin is very modernand comfortable for a pickuptruck. Good handling.

THUMBS DOWNIf you frequently tow more

than 7,700 pounds, you willbe better served by a full-sizepickup. Also, the Coloradois not the strongest off-roadvehicle.

THE BOTTOM LINEIf you want a truck, but

don’t like the large-truckhassles that come with them,check out the ChevroletColorado which offers a greatcombo between a truck anda SUV.

CompetitorsTOYOTA TACOMA

Until the release of theColorado, the Tacoma basi-cally owned the mid-sizetruck segment. The Tacomais still the standard in theindustry.
