WEST Vancouver police are issuing a plea tolongboarders to think about their safety after fourof them have been rushed to hospital in the lasttwo weeks.
Two riders were injured, one of them seriously, Wednesdayafternoon when they skidded off the road into a parked truck onthe 1300-block of Camridge Road in the British Properties area.
Investigators say the two were headed downhill when theyswerved to avoid an oncoming vehicle, which was lawfullyproceeding in the right lane.
A 23-year-old Surrey resident was released Wednesday nightafter being treated for cuts and bruises, but a 20-year-old North
Vancouver man wasn’t so lucky.“(He) was face-first skidding and had head contact with the
front wheel of the truck,” said Const. Jeff Palmer, West VancouverPolice Department spokesman.
He was expected to be released Thursday but suffered a headinjury and small compression fracture in one neck vertebrae.
Just three days earlier, a 19-year-old wound up under an SUVat the intersection of 13th Street and Esquimalt Avenue.
“Fortunately he just had some laceration injuries,” Palmersaid. “That was an extremely close call.”
A 17-year-old Rockridge secondary student remains in
intensive care after a severe head injury he received on May 24when he crashed into a van being driven by a friend on IsleviewRoad.
“It is a banned activity on public streets and (we’re) pleadingwith longboarders to really, really think carefully,” said Palmer.
“Yes, we have a $45-bylaw ticket we can hit you with, but thatreally can’t be the biggest concern for you. The biggest concernhas to be that a couple inches one way or the other when you’rein a collision with a vehicle can have completely life-alteringconsequences.”
The District of North Vancouver has faced numerous recentrequests to ban the sport outright but has stopped short, optingto only issue fines to riders caught on Skyline Drive, but districtMayor Richard Walton said it will be up to the longboarders to

Psst! Want a free leather coat?
Jeremy [email protected]
A familiar fraud may have returned tothe North Shore after a smooth talkerallegedly offered up seven leather jacketsin a bid to charm a North Vancouverwoodworker out of $300 on theafternoon of Saturday, May 25.
Peter Forbes was pulling into the Rona parkinglot off of East Third Street when he was greeted by awell-dressed man with a thick Italian accent who wasapparently searching for the airport.
“Of course I told him, ‘You’re miles away,’” Forbessaid. “I’m being a nice guy and I point out the map,give him directions and all that. So he’s getting veryfriendly and at first I’m thinking, ‘Maybe the guy’shitting on me’ . . . as Seinfeld says, ‘Not that there’sanything wrong with that.’”
The alleged scammer said he was a fashion designerin town for a convention and he happened to have a
few samples in the backseat of his car, a white LexusSUV crossover.
“He shows me this really nice-looking stylizedleather jacket, and he says, ‘I purchase this, this isreally fancy leather, about $1,500 each,’ and I knowdidley-squat about leather. To be perfectly honest itfelt a bit vinyl-ish, but I don’t know,” Forbes said.
The fashionista said he would rather not pay taxeson the coats when getting on the plane, Forbes said.
“He says to me, ‘Well, being that you’re such anice guy and helping me out, here,’ and he gives meone of the jackets,” Forbes said. “One thing leadsto another and he ends up giving me seven of thesejackets in two bags.”
The designer stipulated that the jackets could notbe sold as they wouldn’t be released until 2014.
Red flags were rising in Forbes’s mind, but he saidhe was getting set to shake the man’s hand and walkaway when he heard one more request.
“He says, ‘Well, before you go, (at) the airport Iwant to buy some perfume for my daughter at theduty-free. . . . Maybe you could help me out andgive me some money because all I’ve got is Euros,’”Forbes said.
Referring to the man’s story as “cockamamie,”Forbes offered a modest sum.
“I said, ‘Well, all I got in my pocket is five bucks.. . . And he’s going ‘I just gave you $9,000 worth ofjackets,’” Forbes said.
“I didn’t even want seven jackets. I’m not exactlya fashion plate.”
The man became aggressive, requesting they findan ATM, but Forbes wouldn’t budge, ultimatelygiving the alleged fraudster back his coats andkeeping his $5.
“Probably the first thing I would’ve done is triedto sell them. And I’m sure if you go on Craigslistthere’s probably a ton of people that got sucked inthat are trying to sell them now,” Forbes said. “Conartists are con artists ’cause they’re good. The guy’ssmooth, I’m just cynical. Nothing’s free, right?”
Forbes described the man as being in his late 40sor early 50s, balding and wearing glasses, a dark bluejacket and a light blue shirt.
He also had a business card bearing the name“Emporio Collezione.”
A fraudster with a similar approach managed totake $600 from a victim in the 1300-block of MainStreet in May, 2012, claiming he had a stack ofhigh-end Italian leather jackets he couldn’t take ona plane.
Offering a 90 per cent discount, the fraudster soldthe supposedly $1,000 coats for $100 each.
The material turned out to be faux leather.The scam also bamboozled $600 out of a man in
the Save-On-Foods parking lot on Marine Drive inMarch, 2012.
Police have no suspects in the case.

RACHEL Teichman and Elissa Halliday, both West Vancouver secondary students, practise volleyball drillsTuesday on the new courts set up east of Shipbuilder’s Square on the North Vancouver waterfront.
NORTH Shoreathletes are finally freeto dig in at five newvolleyball courts on theformerly vacant Lot 5in Shipbuilders’ Squareon the City of NorthVancouver’s waterfront.
The city contributed$140,000 to the facility, whichfeatures one court for casual useand four that can be reservedthrough the North VancouverRecreation Commission.
The site may become hometo an aquarium or a commercialspace eventually, but Coun.Craig Keating championedbeach volleyball in the interim,calling the old location “a wadof dirt surrounded by metalfences.”
“We’ve turned a vacant lotinto a recreational amenity thewhole community can enjoy,”said Mayor Darrell Mussatto ina release. — Jeremy Shepherd
couple things we need to point out. These are performance audits, not financialaudits,“ said Mark Tatchell, deputy auditor general. “(They) are intended to helplocal governments improve their operations. These are not intended to find faultsor identify problems that local governments have.”
Once the audits are complete in 2014, subject councils will be able to reviewand comment on the findings before the AGLG releases a public report. Thosereports will be for the benefit of municipal councils, regional district boards andtheir taxpayers around the province, Tatchell said.
Many local government members bristled when Premier Christy Clarkannounced the creation of the AGLG in 2011, dismissing it as political posturingfrom the province — especially when municipal governments tended to havebetter financial track records than the province itself.
But the District of North Vancouver Coun. Mike Little’s fears have beenallayed and his council is greeting the audit with open arms, especially when long-term capital planning is the district’s forte.
“It’s something that, in the past, has been too easy for administrations to defermaintenance on infrastructure in order to be able to balance budgets. Since 2004,we’ve been putting policies in place to stop that from happening. We don’t wantto see our rec centres fall into disrepair again,” Little said.
District staff completed a “super comprehensive” inventory of every asset in
the district, from bricks and mortar to the subsurface of roads in 2009. Theinventory lists not only the assets, but their expected lifespan and estimated costto replace.
“I think we have a very good picture of what it costs to manage our assetsthat are going forward into the future,” Little said. “And we’re squirrelling awaymoney the correct way. We’re making sure we have plans in place so that when wemake the decision on the replacement of an asset or facility, we have the moneyin hand to replace it.”
Rather than being singled out for being a trouble maker, Little said he suspectsthe district is on the list to serve as a model the rest of province.
Similarly, West Vancouver Mayor Michael Smith has softened this approachto the AGLG.
“We’re looking forward to it. We’re certainly pleased with the way things havebeen going in the district with no tax increase for the last two years. We welcomethem to come in. I think they’ll be pleased with what they see,” Smith said. “Ouronly concern is we don’t want it to cost us money, in terms of engaging a lot ofextra staff time.”
For 2013, AGLG has budget $2.6 million plus $300,000 in start-up capitalcosts. Other issues to be tackled by the office this year are managing policingagreements and police budget oversight, the provision of clean drinking water bylocal governments and managing the risk of limited human resources within smalllocal governments.

MPs coolon BurnabySeymourridingBrent [email protected]
NORTH Vancouver andBurnaby are simply toodifferent to be mashedtogether into onefederal electoral riding,a committee of MPs inOttawa has concluded.
Seeking to add six newHouseofCommonsseats fortheprovince, the Federal ElectoralBoundaries Commissionrecommended earlier thisyear that a new riding madeup of North Vancouver eastof the Seymour River and thenorthern portion of Burnaby bemelded into a new riding calledBurnaby North-Seymour.
But the proposal has beenfought by Kennedy Stewart,NDPMPforBurnaby-Douglas,on the grounds that theproposed change is unpopularon both sides of Burrard Inletand that communities are toodifferent and isolated to haveone MP adequately representthe interests of both.
“He indicated that NorthBurnaby was a middle classcommunity with a highpercentage of new Canadians,while North Vancouver hada low percentage of newCanadians and a much higheraverage income,” the standingcommittee on procedure andhouse affairs wrote in its report.“Very few links existed betweenthe service providers in eithercommunity and their respectivemunicipalities. Indeed eachcommunity had its own healthauthority.”
The committee, which ismadeupof sevenConservatives,one Liberal and four NewDemocrats, seemed to agree.
“North Vancouver andNorth Burnaby appear tothe committee to be twocommunities which share fewcommon services or exchanges.The communities themselvesalso appear to have little desire,if any, to be tied in one electoraldistrict,” it concludes.
Under the ElectoralBoundaries Readjustment Act,every riding should have apopulation of about 105,000residents according to censusdata tracked every 10 years. Asof the 2011 census, the NorthShore’s two ridings were about70,000 people over that limit.
The report is welcomed byStewart, who is now optimisticthe ridings can be redrawnagain to keep the North Shoreand Burnaby apart.
“It supports the opinionsand sentiment of communitieson both sides of the BurrardInlet. There were very loud andclear voices from Burnaby andthe North shore that this is amistake,” Stewart said.
Had the 2011 election usedthe proposed new boundaries,Stewart and the NDP wouldhave lost his seat by about fivepercentage points, a seven-point swing from results that

Lower Mainland long-boarders have been reactingto the trend of nasty crasheson a Vancouver Longboard-ing Facebook group, manyof them chastising riders whodon’t ride safely and create a
bad name for the sport whilethe rest strive keep it legal.
“This summer will be ourlast chance to prove that thecity can accommodate us, wearen’t going to get a millionchances to figure out a way tomake our sport safe. Ride safely,stay in your lane and be aspolite as possible to residents,”said Aidan Polglase.
Another warned thatincidents like the ones in thelast two weeks will hurt thegroup as a whole.
Laine Jackart posted: “Thiswill be used as evidence as towhy there should be a blanketban in North Vancouver. Theseaccidents don’t only affect theriders, they slowly pick apartthe entire scene and all of its
supporters. Several people havegoofed it for everyone, butthat’s how it usually happensanyways.”

Border disorderWE suggested here in January
that the Federal ElectoralBoundaries Commission had
erred in recommending the creation of anew Burnaby-North Seymour riding.
A Conservative-dominated Houseof Commons committee agrees. Thetwo communities “share few commonservices or exchanges,” the committeeconcluded.
No kidding. The only link betweenthe two areas is a bridge that’s aninfamous bottleneck on Canada’s OnlyRoad. The demographics of the twocommunities are vastly different, theirhealth authority is different, and neitherof the sitting MPs favour the creation ofthis Frankenriding.
Now, a group of MPs, unfamiliarwith local geography, has come to theobjective, non-partisan decision thatanother solution should be found.
Based on population numbers alone,another riding should clearly be createdsomewhere between Deep Cove andPowell River. But the common-sensesolution appears obvious to all butthe commission: redraw the lines onMainland-Sunshine Coast map; don’tadd peculiar bulges to Burnaby andVancouver Island.
Oh yes, the commission alsorecommended taking Powell River fromJohn Weston’s West Van-Sunshine Coastriding and adding it Vancouver IslandNorth — notwithstanding that it wasa ferry ride away. The same Commonscommittee sensibly recommendedagainst that idea too.
So, if Powell River stays in the localridings map, surely a new federal ridingthat incorporates elements of NorthVancouver and West Vancouver is anobvious choice. Let’s hope so.

VIEWPOINT
Minister Sultan part of election victoryI predict backwards aswell as forwards. Sostand by for a prophecyfor the past.
I predict that Ralph Sultanplayed a much bigger role inthe B.C. Liberals’ electionvictory May 14 than he’s beengiven credit for. And this isnot just parish-pump flatteryfor little old West Vancouver.
First, though, Sultan hasbeen in the news since theelection. First, rumoured tostep aside for a Christy Clarkbyelection in West Vancouver-Capilano where his ownershipis engraved in stone. Hedidn’t, gladdening supporters.Also, influential Tex Enemark,Gordon Gibson andHarry Swain mused in theVancouver Sun that he couldbe the man to lead the glacialtreaty negotiations withB.C.’s First Nations. That’snow a non-starter.
Sultan was the moststrangely under-utilized talentin the Gordon Campbellcaucus. First elected in 2001,aged 68 — which soundsyouthful compared with hispresent 80 — and with a
wealth of high-level businessexperience in banking and asa Harvard professor, this sonof a modest East Vancouverbackground looked custom-made for finance minister.
Or was it so strange thatCampbell passed over him?Often the big boss is nervousabout giving a portfolio tosomeone who actually knowsa lot about the territory— like, infinitely more thanhe/she does. Above all infinance. Might do dangerousthings that make economicrather than political sense.
David Schreck, then North
Vancouver-Lonsdale’s NewDemocratic Party MLA, hita similar wall in the 1990swhen, notwithstanding orbecause of a career in healthmatters, he never made healthminister.
Yet there could hardly havebeen a more cautionary talethan that of New Democratfinance minister and laterMP Dave Stupich — whoknew plenty about figures.Too much. In the scandalcalled Bingogate, Stupich,a professional accountant,was hit with 64 chargesconcerning the NanaimoCommonwealth HoldingSociety, an NDP piggy bankhe devised. He pleaded guiltyto fraud involving $1 millionand running an illegal lottery.Blameless Mike Harcourttook the political fall, whilearithmetic-challenged partypeople explained they’dleft the numbers to Stupichbecause he was so adept.
Forward to Sultan. Hefinally made cabinet lastSeptember in the much lessonerous role of minister ofstate for seniors. A brilliantchoice. He is one of nature’s
gentlemen, a rare intellectualpatrician without airs whoeasily but rather shyly meets“ordinary” people and canrelate to their situations.
Sultan soon put theLiberal show on the road forold people, as I prefer to callwithout euphemism thoselike my good self. I ran intohim in April, crisply turnedout with suit and tie andapparently fresh from politicalbusiness. Aided by ministerialassistant Barb Ewens, he saidhe’d visited “50 or 60” B.C.communities (Terry Oakenin his office gave the finalnumber: 68). In all, he saidhe talked to about 1,000people.
He was surprised. Sometold poignant stories.But few were angry ordiscontented. Most radiatedwhat’s called “happinesseconomics,” pioneeredby psychologist AbrahamMaslow, whose work 50 yearsago excited me. Maslowhad the outrageous habit ofstudying happy people, anapproach threatening to hisFreudian peers, psychiatrists,pharmacists, scholars, social
workers, journalists — hell,to Western civilization as weknow it.
Levity aside, Sultanbrought the Liberal messageto an underestimated partof the electorate: Not thecourted young, not thechattering political class, notthe various parties’ phone-insquads and letter writers whodistorted public perception,not the Twits and Internuts.No — old people who vote.Actually vote. Simple as that.
It would be entirelyspeculative to declare thatRalph Sultan single-handedlydrew decisive votes tothe party. Well, that’s thenice thing about it: It’sspeculative. You can speculateright back, disagreeing. ButI say that if anyone may haveplayed a bigger role than metthe eye, it would be well-respected Ralph Sultan.
• • •Note: My dastardly
election prophecy in noway was shaped by insideknowledge. I knew nothingof top-secret Liberal pollsthat predicted victory for
Christy “Well, That WasEasy” Clark, and I didn’t chatup candidates. Both Clarkand NDP leader Adrian Dix’saides (hello, Jan O’Brien)ignored my requests forlunch, and at Victoria’sUnion Club at that. Theirloss. My table talk can bewittily delightful.
• • •Mayor Mike Smith
backs Grosvenor’s West Vandevelopment. Fair enough.Here’s a radical idea: Whydidn’t this huge companyjust follow WV’s communityplan about building heightand such? Would have wonacceptance with a chic,smaller proposal.
Answer: Because theGrosvenor family, its scionthe Duke Of Westminsterwho owns big, choice parts ofcentral London, is fabulously,I mean fabulously rich,impresses and intimidates hellout of lousy little gratefulcouncils, and with Britishcharm is used to getting itsown way. They don’t dosmall.

NDP: party or movement?WHILE the B.C.Liberals have debatedamong themselves formonths now whether ornot they should changethe name of their party,perhaps it is actually theNDP that needs to haveprecisely the same kindof discussion amongtheir own members.
The NDP’s crushingelection defeat may suggest itsbest-before date is long past.The party has won a measlythree elections and lost 20 ofthem in 60 years, and whileit almost always gains about40 per cent of the vote it alsousually falls short of winningby several thousand votes in adozen or so ridings.
The NDP has to ask itselfcan it ever win if it can’t beata government that has a mile-high stack of scandals andcontroversies on its baggagesheet.
This past election showedonce again that no matterhow many misgivingspeople may have about thefree enterprise coalitiongovernment, a good numberof them simply can’t bringthemselves to vote for theNDP.
So why is that?The answer is ground in
history. Originally, the NDPalmost gleefully painteditself as a party with ties tosocialism, and has now spenttwo decades frantically tryingto bury that association in thepublic’s mind.
As socialist and even socialdemocratic governmentsaround the world get tossed
to the curb, the NDP hasnever really been able toredefine itself as a partythat is not about raisingtaxes, making governmentlarger and addressingincome equality throughredistribution of wealth.
Party candidates andleaders may insist, time andtime again, that they are notthe party of the past and thatthey are genuinely interestedin making economic growtha priority.
The trouble is, a greatmany people (or, in electoralterms, “just enough people”)simply don’t believe them.Instead, they view the NDPprecisely as its politicalopponents want them to viewit: as the “tax and spend”party that will interfere inyour life and endanger youreconomic future.
There doesn’t have tobe a great many people whosubscribe to this view. As Imentioned earlier, it onlytakes several thousand votersover a few ridings who viewthings this way to determinethe election’s outcome (in
this past election, if fewerthan 3,000 people spreadover eight ridings had votedNDP instead of for the B.C.Liberals the New Democratswould have won).
New Democrats maycomplain about the nastyattacks their opponentslaunch at them and decrythem for any inaccuraciescontained in them, but bydoing so they are missing thekey point: those attacks workprecisely because they exploit,with devastating effectiveness,the most vulnerable parts ofthe NDP’s historical imageand record.
Since their devastatingelection loss, a numberof New Democrats haveobserved that the party has tomake a fundamental decision:Is it is a social movement, oris it a political party interestedin forming government?
A social movement holdsa lot of meetings whereoverblown rhetoric is themain agenda item, and wherethe main activity is passinga lot of motions. A politicalparty makes compromises,bends its ideals and goressome sacred cows.
The NDP is controlledby something called theprovincial council, themembers of which have beenin control of the party’sphilosophy and directionfor many years and throughall those election defeats.
Is such a body at all usefulfor a genuine political partyseeking power? It’s a questionparty members might want towrestle with.
The NDP is at a genuinecrossroads. The party is acoalition of interests, andone of its main fault lines— environmental protectionversus industrial development— was exposed during theelection campaign, and it is afissure that remains exposed.
The two opposing viewsare on a collision coursewithin the party, and issueslike fracking, pipelineconstruction and miningmay ultimately tear the NDPapart. Trying to be both astrong environmental partyas well as a party that favoursindustrial development mayprove to be impossible.
For months now, the NewDemocrats have watched withrelish as the B.C. Liberalstried to square their stormypast with getting re-elected,and fretted about theirapparently wounded brand.
How ironic, then, that itis perhaps the NDP “brand”that is broken, perhapsforever. And that means it isthat party — and not the B.C.Liberals — who may need aname change and a politicalrebranding.

Dear Editor:North Vancouver is a wonderful place. I was born here,
and continue living here because it’s a lush green paradise thatprovides everything I need to live well.
The foods we find in the stores are riddled with chemicals,and are very expensive, so I live primarily off of wild foods that Ifind growing around my neighborhood. They grow everywhere;on the side of roads, pathways, riversides, in the forest, youname it.
Wild foods are higher in nutrition than anything that can bebought in stores, but not many people are aware that this is apossibility. The knowledge of wild foods and medicine has allbut disappeared.
The other day, I went to this patch of nettles I commonlyharvest from on the side of Lillooet Road. When I got there, Isaw that the government employees cut it all down in a routinemowing; it was all gone and my heart sank. I needed that nettleto use as medicine for my grandpa’s shoulder. Cutting it downis a big waste of taxpayers dollars, and takes away valuableresources from the citizens who know a thing or two aboutwild plants.
Not only is nettle a potent food and medicine, but thepatches look beautiful and attract beneficial pollinators. Thereis no good reason why the government landscapers should takeit down.
I know I’m not alone when I say that North Vancouver, orall of Vancouver for that matter, needs to start paying specialattention to how we treat our land. We need to adopt a bettermaintenance strategy that keeps it looking good, yet still leavesbeneficial plants for the citizens to utilize.
Much like the Adopt a Highway program, I propose we havean Adopt a Patch program. If there is a patch of wild ediblesor medicine, a little picket should go into the ground that sayswhat it is, and please take what you need. It shouldn’t be takenaway out of ignorance.
We need to educate ourselves on what is useful so we can allstay healthy and happy.Richard KuehnelNorth Vancouver

PEOPLE attending events at Shipbuilders’ Squarethis summer and fall will be able to sip on beer andwine while taking in the festivities.
City of North Vancouver council decided May 27 to lift thestrict provisions of its existing Special Occasion Licences Policyfor Shipbuilders’ Square and push back closing times for beer andwine garden hours at the venue from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The city says it has experienced an increase in the number ofrequests to book Shipbuilders’ Square with interest in a beer andwine garden as part of the event. Last year, the Friday night marketand the Concerts in the Square events featured 100-person beerand wine gardens. While these gardens were not hugely successful,according to a report from the city’s community developmentdepartment, they served as an additional source of revenue tooffset event costs. No issues arose, the report states.
Coun. Linda Buchanan said she has heard positive feedbackfrom patrons. “They really appreciate the opportunity to sit andenjoy concerts and be able to sit in the licensed area,” she said.
Shipbuilders’ Square opened to the public in 2009 and nowserves as the location for a variety of community events includingthe Party at the Pier, LLBA Christmas Festival, Thursday andFriday night markets and car shows.
Council adopted its Special Occasion Licences Policy in 2007,before the square opened as a purpose-built entertainment venue.The current policy limits the number of licences that can be issuedto each geographic area, individual and organization.
Coun. Craig Keating said amending the policy would behelpful, but expressed an interest in setting up more “tasteful”fencing around the drinking zones. “I went down to the Fridaynight market and sat and had a drink in the beer prison,” hesaid, “because the blue fencing that surrounds the beer garden issomewhat depressing.”
As it stands, the city will limit the capacity of beer and winegardens to 100 people.
Mayor Darrell Mussatto said any large-scale events, such as theCaribbean Days Festival, would still need to come before councilfor licensing approval.
All applicants hoping to serve beer and wine at their eventsmust also apply for the necessary licensing from the provincialLiquor Control and Licensing Branch and get police approval.

Grab a coffee and some free electricity
NEWS photo Mike Wakefield
BRUCE Stout plugs his electric car into the recently installed charging station atthe Tim Hortons on Main Street in North Vancouver.
TIM Hortons may be known for itstraditional donuts and coffee, butthe Canadian company is movingwith the times as it installs six electriccharging stations in B.C. — includingone in North Vancouver — as part ofa new pilot project.
The electric charging station is ready for useat the franchise’s 1384 Main St. location as partof a study on electric vehicle technology, itsusage and opportunities.
The idea has Vancouver Electric VehicleAssociation (VEVA) president and NorthVancouver resident Bruce Stout excited.
“It’s a brilliant initiative on their part
to provide free charging for electric vehicleowners,” Stout said. “Because now electricvehicle owners will go to Tim Hortons to buytheir donuts rather than another chain.”
Charge stations are important for both thepractical use and the symbolic acceptance ofelectric vehicles, Stout says.
“It’s the lifeline that’s thrown to electricvehicle owners to increase their range, toincrease where they can go,” he said.
Stout said he would definitely be visiting TimHortons with his 100 per cent electric poweredvehicle.
Other Metro area Tim Hortons electriccharging stations are operational in Burnaby,Coquitlam and Abbotsford, with two more onVancouver Island. The placement choices weremade so that it’s possible to drive an electricvehicle from one charging station to the nextstrictly on electric power.
The project initially took off in Oakville,Ont., at a single Tim Hortons in February 2013.The company was coy in its power usage results,but said Oakville usage exceeded expectations.

Truce called in WV water warSam [email protected]
WEST Vancouver council has grantedresidents of Montizambert Wyndanother year of connection to itsmunicipal water supply, but notwithout some stipulations.
The water war for the residents, who areliving on unincorporated land in a Howe Soundcul-de-sac, has been going on since last year.The community’s water supply is drawn fromMontizambert Creek and is currently under aboil-water advisory from Vancouver Coastal
Health and has been since 1996. As of now,the residents of Montizambert Wynd do nothave access to municipally filtered water and areinstead drinking “raw” water fed through theirown filtration systems not recognized by VCH.
The province has long demanded the homeowners pay up for a recognized water treatmentplant, with residents refusing to cough up thecash and instead choosing to stick with theirown private point-of-entry filtration systems.
The District of West Vancouver councilhas since threatened to cut off MontizambertWynd residents from accessing its water pipe if

they don’t comply with the province, and were set to disconnectthem come August. However, council decided Monday to workwith the Montizambert Wynd residents in the next year tocome up with “creative solutions” to benefit everyone with theunderstanding that formal agreements will be made within sixmonths between them and Metro Vancouver.
No decision has been made as to exactly what the residents orthe district will do, but director of engineering and transportationfor West Vancouver Raymond Fung said the province mayapprove having West Van filter the water and sell it to MetroVancouver, who would then re-sell it to Montizambert Wyndresidents.
But another year would be needed to properly find an answer,which council granted.
Coun. Craig Cameron voiced his concerns over whowould be liable in the coming year if someone drinks water inMontizambert Wynd and gets a disease.
Mayor Michael Smith said Metro Vancouver should be liablein this case, and the district should have indemnity in the chancesomething happens.
Council unanimously approved the extension which standsuntil Aug. 18, 2014.

HIS light flashed 15 million times.The short glare flickered under movie marquees and
on street corners. At Hastings, Granville, and Robsonstreets Foncie Pulice took photos of business colleagues,couples, and families, charging 75 cents for threepictures or $1 for five.
Taking an average of more than 1,000 photos sixdays a week for 45 years, Pulice ran a successful businesswhile inadvertently documenting Vancouver.
A small portion of his immense life’s work will be ondisplay beginning June 6 at the Museum of Vancouverin the exhibition Foncie’s Fotos: Man on the Street.
For the last three decades of his career as a streetphotographer, Pulice used a camera that vaguelyresembled a robot sidekick in a 1950s science fictionmovie. Fitted with wheels, the camera featured a steel
body pieced together out of war surplus material thathoused a movie reel’s worth of film.
The contraption eventually rolled its way into theMuseum of Vancouver where it was discovered bycurator Joan Seidl.
Initially befuddled by the massive camera inscribedwith the word Foncie’s, Seidl recalled the ubiquitousnature of Foncie photos among many Vancouverites.
“You’d visit people who were donating artifacts andthey’d whip out their family albums and you’d start tosee these street photographs over and over and overagain,” she says.
Those photographs, mainly of pedestrians capturedin mid-stride, were the work of a Britannia high schoolgraduate who was looking to transition from his jobas a house painter into the burgeoning field of streetphotography.
“He had a friend who was working as a streetphotographer for one of the local papers, and I think heobserved that this friend was meeting lots of girls. Muchmore than he was,” Seidl says.
In the mid-1930s companies like Metro Photos,Electric Photos, Souvenir Walkie Snaps, and Kandid
Kamera employed photographers who snapped picturesfor cash.
Pulice soon found work as an assistant streetphotographer, meeting many girls in the process.
Following the Second World War Pulice founded hisown company: Foncie’s Fotos.
With the public unable to get film, Pulice tookthousands of photographs of beaming families andreturning servicemen.
The business succeeded based on a tremendous workethic and just a little bit of charm, according to Seidl.
“He would catch your eye, he would smile at youand the idea was you’d smile back. He’d snap theshutter and then hand you a little card,” she says.
The card was the claim ticket, leading customers tothe storefront where Pulice’s wife, Ann, would matchclients with their pictures.
Pulice worked six days a week, according to Seidl.“By seven in the morning he was down in the
basement of his family home on Oak Street, developingthe proofs of the photos that he’d taken the previous

FILM
Learning how to live in Google’s world■ The Internship. Directedby Shawn Levy. StarringVince Vaughn and OwenWilson.Rating: 8 (out of 10)
Julie CrawfordContributing Writer
BING must be pissed.The Internship is not just a
movie, it’s free advertising: atwo-hour homage to Google,showcasing the company andits ethos as a tech pioneer,workplace utopia, andchampion of the underdog.
The underdogs in questionare Billy (Vince Vaughn) andNick (Owen Wilson), watchsalesmen, who — not unlikefilm critics — are a dyingbreed. After a hilarious salespitch with a would-be vendor,the guys learn that theircompany has folded. The menare a little behind the times,technology-wise: “People havea deep mistrust of machines,”Billy insists. “Haven’t you seenTerminator?”
Nick reluctantly takes a jobat a mattress store managedby his sister’s pervy boyfriend(Will Ferrell, in the film’s bestcameo). But while lookingfor sales jobs online, Billygets the genius idea to googleGoogle and learns of theirsummer internship program.Seduced by nap pods andfree food at the cafeteria, theboys discombobulate theinterviewers just enough toland spots in the program.
The pair journey to Google’s cartoon campus, a worldof cars that drive themselves and communal, multicolouredbicycles. They are ancients among the Ivy League-educatedintern hopefuls, who look like 12-year-olds. Nick and Billy findthemselves last in a schoolyard pick of teams that will competeagainst each other over the summer: it’s like a really nerdysummer camp. Or, as Nick puts it: “a mental Hunger Games.”
The teams compete in challenges ranging from program de-bugging and helpline assistance to a Harry Potter-style quidditchmatch. After insuring that their teammates are indeed 21, theboys give them an alcohol-soaked lesson in letting go. Teambonding ensues after clichés and metaphors aplenty, and “lifelessons buried under obscure ‘80s references.”
All the elements are here: there’s the snotty villain (MaxMinghella), the Bad News Bears motley crew (Tiya Sircar, DylanO’Brien, Tobit Raphael), the malevolent boss (The Daily Show’sAasif Mandvi) and the comely exec in need of taking off herglasses and letting her hair down (Rose Byrne).
Shawn Levy (Real Steel, Date Night) directs while Vaughngets credit for the story, half the writing and producing, andworks the nonsense in his trademark rapid-fire style.
The script cleverly utilizes layers of pop-culture references.So while older folks will giggle at Flashdance and Back to theFuture references, more hip viewers will enjoy spotting the littlegreen Android guy, discussions about cosplay, and quick shots ofGoogle co-founder Sergey Brin cruising the campus.
Is the film predictable? Will it result in 40-somethingsthinking a crayon resumé will score them a job at Google? Yesand yes.
But the film marks a return to humour that doesn’t have tobe mean-spirited in order to be funny. There are just the rightamount of PG moments (lap dances, rest-home innuendo) tokeep things edgy, but the film is never cynical. Billy and Nickare like a wise-cracking Bert and Ernie, even sharing a bed inone scene, but there’s no need to exploit the situation for cheaplaughs. Ditto Billy’s attentiveness to a young hottie teammate:it’s fatherly, not creepy. The audience is permitted to laugh

Elizabeth Rex faces down her demons
■ Bard on the BeachShakespeare Festival, June12 to Sept. 14 at VanierPark in Vancouver. Forschedule and tickets, visitbardonthebeach.org or call604-739-0559.
Christine [email protected]
HER freshly shavedhead is a stark reminderof human vulnerabilityand the certainty of oldage.
Of course, she could haveopted to wear a latex baldcap, but most actresses whotake on the role of QueenElizabeth I, including NorthVancouver’s Colleen Wheeler,voluntarily lose their locks.
“You have to go there andshave your head and face yourown demons,” Wheeler says,“remove all sort of artifice.”
Wheeler is playing the titlecharacter in Elizabeth Rex,by Canadian writer TimothyFindley, at Bard on the Beach.Directed by Rachel Ditor,the contemporary work is theonly non-Shakespeare playlined up for the 24th annualShakespeare festival, whichruns June 12 to Sept. 14 atVanier Park.
The story takes place onthe eve of an execution. Thequeen’s former lover, theEarl of Essex, has been jailedfor treason and is to die byher order at dawn. In needof distraction, she spendsthe night in a barn withShakespeare and his actingcompany.
During the play, theEnglish monarch only once removes her signature red wig,revealing a patchy bald scalp — thought to be the result of about with smallpox — but Wheeler says going hairless for thesummer will help her relate to her historic character. She hasalso studied the history books and identified a human side tothe iconic queen.
“I think she was a very lonely person at times in her life,”Wheeler says, explaining the Virgin Queen, as she was often
called, never married.“I think the play itself is about her finding a way to grieve
the fact that she’s putting her lover to death and I think we canall relate to grief in a way,” she adds.
Including Elizabeth Rex in this season of Bard on the Beachis part of a new festival mandate to produce contemporaryworks that complement Shakespeare’s world and themes.
Wheeler, a company member at Bard on the Beach for
11 seasons, says this show will appeal to history buffs andShakespeare fans alike.
“There’s a lot of really accurate historical reference, so itsort of brings you into the world of the Elizabethan court alittle bit and into some of the history that was embroiled at thetime.”

THEATRE
Rounding out the 2013Bard on the Beach season areHamlet and Twelfth Night,which will be shown in the742-seat mainstage tent, andMeasure For Measure, playingin repertory with ElizabethRex in the 240-seat studiostage tent.
Wheeler also plays a siderole in Measure For Measure,Shakespeare’s dark comedyabout hypocrisy, sexualrepression and justice. Theplay’s antagonist, Angelo, isportrayed by actor/directorDavid Mackay, who grewup on the North Shore andattended Windsor secondary.Angelo assumes power afterDuke Vincentio mysteriouslyleaves town.
“As soon as he getspower he starts calling shotsand putting into law strictstatutes, particularly againstsexuality, that have immediaterepercussions on members ofthe community,” says Mackay,explaining his charactereventually falls criminal to hisown harsh laws.
The show has a comicside, he says, but the humouris rooted in satire.
“We’re not just laughingat gags or things for the sakeof them being funny,” saysMackay.
In a unique twist, directorJohn Murphy has set MeasureFor Measure in the early1900s in jazz-age New Orleans, contrasting the sensuality of the musical cultureagainst the Catholic tradition of the region.
Putting a new spin on a Shakespeare classic is not new at Bard on the Beach,but it’s a creative approach the festival’s artistic director Christopher Gazeadmits he didn’t always embrace.
“I used to react very badly against all this and wanted my Shakespeare juststraight up like a martini,” Gaze says, “but over the years I’ve grown with it alland I love the fact that you can put plays in different times and realize them indifferent ways. But you need to be smart, you need to be clever and don’t letthe concept distort the play.”
Born in England and trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, Gazecame to Canada in 1975 and founded Bard on the Beach in 1990. It’s his job todecide on the program each year.
“What you’re looking for is balance, as we all are in life,” he says. Anygiven season will typically feature a comedy, a tragedy and a romance fromShakespeare’s canon, but the selection process follows no prescribed formula.
“It’s all feel and gut, frankly,” Gaze says.While many arts organizations struggle to stay afloat, Bard on the Beach is
thriving and in 2011 erected an expanded-capacity mainstage tent with an open
end, allowing actors to perform against a backdrop of water and mountains.Gaze has an idea why the festival continues to draw crowds year after year.“When you come to Bard it’s an event, and people love that,” he says,
adding that tents, to him, are always a sure sign of celebration.“It’s the quintessential sort of Vancouver experience. You don’t have to go
into an environmentally controlled black box and say goodnight to an exquisiteevening outside. You stay with it. You watch the sun go down and that’s abeautiful thing.”

THE Wedding Belles (Aubrey Arnason and Sarah Groundwater-Law) are hosting tonight’s Celebration AwardsCeremony at the Westin Bayshore.
Erin [email protected]
SARAH Groundwater-Law laughs when shereveals she’s getting her nails done.
Reached Tuesday afternoon via cell phone, she explainsthat in addition to the priority of preparing her material ofcourse, her salon stop is among the many essential glam-related steps (hair, spray tan, makeup and dresses included)on her to-do list in the lead-up to hosting this weekend’s LeoAwards, a red carpet, two-night affair at the Westin BayshoreVancouver, honouring the artistry of those involved in B.C.’sfilm and television industry.
Groundwater-Law and her partner-in-crime, AubreyArnason, co-hosts and co-producers of Shaw TV’s TheWedding Belles and The Proposal, are serving as hosts of thisevening’s Celebration Awards Ceremony.
“Our biggest focus is honestly to elevate the crowdand have them excited and enthusiastic to be there,” saysGroundwater-Law.
“It’s really flattering to be asked because they put a lot oftrust in us and so I really hope we do them proud,” she adds.
Groundwater-Law is pleased to be involved in the Leos,which she says play an important role in honouring the hardwork and passion of her local industry peers.
“I think they just deserve a night out in recognition, so it’sdefinitely important for our industry and I think to recognizeCanadian stuff too. We always have a tendency to appreciatewhat our neighbours are bringing up but I think it’s muchmore important to focus on what Canadians are capable of,and, in this case, what British Columbians are capable of,” shesays.
Tomorrow evening, Saturday, June 8, the red carpetwill be unfurled for the Gala Awards Ceremony, also at

the Westin, hosted by local couple NancyRobertson and Brent Butt of Hiccups andCorner Gas fame.
This year marks the 15th anniversary ofthe Leo Awards, an annual awards programpresented by the Motion Picture Arts &Sciences Foundation of B.C., a not-for-profitorganization whose mission is to celebrateand promote the achievements of the B.C.film and television industry.
“The idea behind the Leos was really tocelebrate the artistic excellence within ourcommunity,” says North Vancouver residentWalter Daroshin, a founding member ofthe foundation, and current president, aswell as president of Troika Productions.“Celebration is healthy I think in anysocial structure. Our industry lacked thatopportunity.”
While those involved would very muchpound their chests over aspects like thesize of the industry, its economic prowess,number of local people it employs and thefact that it’s one of the largest productioncentres in North America, Daroshin was partof a group of people who felt there needed toalso be some place within the calendar yearto stop and to acknowledge the actual work,the artistic excellence and the craft of makingfilm.
“The Leos were born out of that impulseand continue to this day to do nothing morethan celebrate people’s work,” he says.
Daroshin is extremely pleased to have TheWedding Belles on board as hosts this year.
“They’re just hilarious and entertaining,”he says. “They presented for us last year andI immediately, before they even got off thestage, I made a mental note to call and askthem if they’d be interested in hosting ourFriday night show. They just resonated sowell with the audience. Their humour is soraw and natural and fun and so we’re lookingforward to having them on our stage.”
While both admitted to being wrackedwith nerves in the lead-up, Groundwater-Law and Arnason, both Vancouver-based(Groundwater-Law goes back and forthbetween the Lower Mainland and Toronto,Ont.) are no strangers to the Leos. TheWedding Belles has received six nominationsand one win for cinematography. In addition,Arnason received a nomination for web seriesFor Your Security.
When asked for anecdotes from previousLeo Awards they’ve attended, they offer upthe following.
Groundwater-Law recalls her paranoia lastyear related to presenting, scared she wouldfall due to her choice of shoe. When it wastheir time to take the stage, she got up fromthe table and tripped.
“I fell flat on my face. . . .” she says. “Idid it in the dark and only a few tables sawbut it was quite hilarious. And then I feltbetter, I was like ‘OK, I can go on stagenow because I clearly can’t fall twice in oneevening.’”
Arnason recalls a first-year rookie hairdon’t, having coiffed her locks into what shethought was a sleek pony, but in retrospectlooked a little too casual for her liking.
“I’ve learned over the years to glam it up abit,” she says.
To prepare as hosts, they’ve been seekingadvice from comedian friends and drawingon their own personal experiences. “It’salmost like MCing a wedding at the end ofthe day, that’s kind of what it’s like. We havea little bit of experience with that one,” saysGroundwater-Law.
Arnason leaks they’re planning a littleaudience participation. “We’re counting onour fellow film folk to bust out of their shellsa bit,” she says.
While as of Tuesday, the co-hosts stillhad some wardrobe decisions to make, onething’s for sure, wedding gowns (from NorthVancouver’s Isabelle’s Bridal no less) willmost definitely make an appearance at some
point in the evening.With the third season of The Wedding
Belles currently airing and the first season ofThe Proposal under their belts, the women arecontinuing to look to the future and in themadness related to preparing their materialfor tonight’s Leos, Arnason has also beenpreparing pitches for new shows, which she’llpresent at the Banff World Media Festivalbeing held June 9-12.
One, Chasing Harry, would follow she
and Groundwater-Law’s comedic overseasescapades as they try to track down andmarry the young prince, complicated by thesmall matter of Royal Family security and thefact that Groundwater-Law has already tiedthe knot.
The other is Wedding 911, which will seethe duo ambush and pull off weddings forcouples that should have gotten married years

WEST Vancouver’s newest fashion retailer bringsEuropean elan to the heart of Dundarave.
Behnaz Toossi has lent not only her name to her new high-end women’s clothing store but her international experienceand expertise as well. “I travel a lot and this reminds me of aEuropean village. It’s a nice community with beautiful people,”says Toossi, who opened her eponymous boutique in April.
Tucked in between a deli and a bank, the boutique reflectsToossi’s tastes and travels. A certified image consultant andformer manager of the Armani boutique at Holt Renfrew, Toossigrew up in Iran and lived in Madrid before settling in Vancouverin 1990.
The store’s interior reflects her world travels. The cash deskis an Asian antique sideboard, the jewelry case an Indian import,
the kilim wall covering from Iran, the wooden wall sconces andlattice doors from Indonesia. On the racks are internationaldesigner brands that fashion enthusiasts won’t see locally: BNGand Umit Unal from Turkey, Moyura of Japan, and Los Angeleslabel 4 Love and Liberty. For fall, she’ll bring two more labelsfrom oversees: one from Germany and the other from Portugal.
“I try to find something that is unique and quality, andnot too expensive — this is the hardest part,” says Toossi. Toillustrate, she takes off the rack a white leather and cotton tunicfrom BNG. The pricetag is $345, which may seem steep butthis an investment piece that can be worn year round, says theboutique owner: with jeans for day or a short skirt and boots atnight, on its own in summer or under a cashmere cardi in thefall. “This is the secret of buying right,” says Toossi.
Bahnaz Toossi is at 2405 Marine Dr. in West Vancouver. Storehours are 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 5p.m. Sundays, closed Mondays.

NORM and Nan Dove’s Echo Valley Ranch and Spa has just been honoured as the Best Small Hotel in Canada in 2013 by TripAdvisor.
Oasis in the wildernessNORTH VANCOUVER COUPLE HONOURED FOR ‘CANADA’S BEST SMALL HOTEL’
Michael McCarthyContributing Writer
YOU hear a lot about happiness thesedays.
Books, reviews and surveys are reporting onthe need for it. We live in a stressful world. Evenin North Vancouver, a prosperous communityby any standard, there is the tension of payingmortgages and raising a family, or seniors findingaffordable housing. People everywhere arelooking for ways to find comfort, joy, serenity,bliss or any of the many different definitionsof “happiness.” One North Vancouver couplecertainly seems to have found a definition thatworks.
Norm and Nan Dove reside in a luxury condooverlooking the Vancouver harbour far below, the
sea buses tootling back and forth, seagulls crying,the downtown skyline in the distance. From timeto time an eagle will arrive and perch on theirbalcony, reminding them of their second home inthe southern Cariboo, where their property EchoValley Ranch and Spa has just been honouredas the Best Small Hotel in Canada in 2013 byTripAdvisor, and Number One for Best Serviceas well. It’s a delightful paradox, a 5-star magicaloasis away in the wilderness.
“We started off by finding the property in1989 and building a second home there,” saysthe always smiling Norm Dove, 70, a mechanicalengineer who sold his business to a largecorporation and then retired. “It wasn’t meant tobe a resort, but we just kept adding new buildingsand it turned out that everybody wanted to visitus.”
”It’s really just our home,” says his lovely wife
Nan, originally from Thailand, known to manytravellers as the Land of Smiles. “Everybody iswelcome to come. We have developed a very bigextended family.”
The noted Chinese philosopher Confucioussaid 3,000 years ago “every community takes onthe personality of its leader.” He wasn’t referringto a tiny ranch hidden away in a valley under theMarble Mountains in the Cariboo, but certainlyEcho Valley has taken on the personality of itsowners. According to TripAdvisor, guests at EchoValley Ranch in 2012 and 2013 have voluntarilysubmitted 195 guest reviews to date, and anastonishing 188 have rated their experience as“excellent,” and 6 as “very good.” It’s doubtfulthat any other resort in the world can match a99 percent approval rate, so how does a tiny (20rooms) family-run business that does almost noadvertising achieve such recognition?
“Our house is your house,” says Norm. “Youjust walk right in and make yourself at home.Everybody eats at the same table. We don’t haveTVs or radios or stereos. We don’t even havecellphone service. Guests coming up here connect
with nature, it’s a chance to get away from thestress and pressure of the big city. Folks just sitdown and relax, and then slow down. We all talkto each other, and in no time they feel like part ofthe family.”
Judging by the comments in the guest book,the only problem with the ranch is that no oneever wants to leave. It’s not hard to understandwhy. Echo Valley redefines what luxury is, a newtrend in the hospitality business called “invisibleluxury,” where the emphasis is on authenticity,not on artificial glamour. Unlike many workingranches, the property is spotless. It also comeswith a view to die for. It would be easy to sit onthe front porch of your cottage or the sundeckat the main lodge and stare at the view forever,especially the sunset over the distant glaciers of theChilcotin Mountains. It’s a place of intense peace,both spiritual and natural.
No guest ranch can promote itself bymentioning its dogs, but many reviews specificallymention the ranch’s 8 border collies that instantly
CHEF Jason Folk’s extraordinary ”100 metre diet,” features many ingredientsgrown right on the property.
See Roughing page 35

TRAVEL
Roughing it up in ‘invisible luxury’adopt new guests as old friends,leading walks and hikes throughthe meadows and into thewoods. Heck, even the 30-oddhorses on the property, manyretired Tennessee Walkers, areas mellow as mush. Peace andserenity seem to envelope theentire property like a blanket.
While the ranch doesoffer many activities like trailrides, scenic hikes, mountainbiking, wildlife safaris to lookfor California Bighorn Sheep,gold panning, fly-fishing fortrout, geo-caching, picnics andexpeditions to the nearby FraserCanyon, many guests opt todo nothing more strenuousthan read a book or wallow inthe hot tub. The one commondenominator is mealtime, whenthe cowbell rings and everybodymakes a beeline to the diningroom to sample chef JasonFolk’s extraordinary”100 metrediet,” with many ingredientsgrown right on the property.
Thursday nights are “Thaifood nights,” and giventhat several of the staff werepersonally invited by owner NanDove to come from Thailand,the food is as authentic as theservice is friendly. The Thai staffprovides professional Thai-stylespa treatments too, evidentlya winning combination if theTripAdvisor guest reviews areany indication.
Norm commutes betweenthe Dove’s North Vancouvercondo and the ranch in hisplane, maintaining a landingstrip big enough for everythingbut jets. Guests have includedeveryone from a Saudi royal family to movie stars to “just plainfolks” from all over the world. The staff itself is a true UnitedNations, with the wranglers hailing from as far as New Zealand,Germany and Great Britain, and others from Brazil, Australia, Japanand an activity guide from Newfoundland named Darrel with morejokes than Jay Leno.
How do the staff and guests from around the world discoverthis tiny gem hiding in the wilderness? All by word of mouthapparently. Google up “wilderness resort, eco-retreat, or BC guestranch,” and up pops the ranch’s name at the top of the results. Mostcertainly a lot of satisfied guests tell their own friends, and wordsoon gets around. Perhaps the only place this North Vancouver-owned property remains relatively unknown is in North Vancouver.
“Certainly we do get folks from the lower mainland,” says Dove,“but not that many people in Vancouver have heard of us, yet. Weare too small to do much advertising. But we are happy to welcomepeople from anywhere in the world, and we have discovered thatvirtually everybody fits in. It’s just one big family, and everyoneis welcome to come and visit. We are happy that folks in NorthVancouver, which is our city home, will finally get to hear about usas well. Tell them to come on up.”
According to Wikipedia, happiness is a mental or emotional stateof well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions rangingfrom contentment to intense joy. Related to it are heaven, nirvana,paradise, delight, enjoyment, pleasure, cheer, comfort and the listgoes on. Sounds exactly like Echo Valley Ranch and Spa.

What to do aboutgreenhouse gas emissions?A number of organizations in Metro Vancouver are considering district heating fromrenewable energy systems as a means to produce heat (and sometimes electricity)while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Boilers fuelled with wood or clean woodwaste (biomass) are one example of a renewable energy system.
Metro Vancouver’s Boilers and Process Heaters Emission Regulation BylawNo. 1087authorizes and regulates emissions from biomass boilers. Changes to Bylaw No. 1087are proposed to ensure these systems are properly designed and operated to protectlocal air quality, and to facilitate effective use of small biomass systems.
You are invited to participate in a workshop in your community to hear more aboutthe proposed bylaw changes and to provide your input to this important discussionabout our region’s future.
The workshops will include a short presentation followed by a facilitated discussionwith staff and other participants.

PERFORMANCE
The circus returns to In the House Festival
Cheryl RossiVancouver Courier
PETER Boulanger isn’tsure whether his circuscompany’s 34-foot tallmarionette will makeit to the In the HouseFestival.
But the UndergroundCircus’s 23-foot-tallfreestanding tower willdefinitely dominate a backyardnear Commercial Drive forthe grand finale of the 10thanniversary festival that willanimate homes and yards June7 to 9.
“It’s a very fun festival.We’ve done it a few timesand it’s always been a greattime,” says Boulanger, co-founder and co-director ofUnderground Circus.
“For us (the best partis) being with the publicand being part of such awonderfully iconic Vancouverorganization. They’ve createdall sorts of weird little quirkythings over the years and welove being part of that kind ofstuff,” Boulanger says. “We arepretty much the top corporatecircus company in town, whichmeans most of time peopledon’t see our work. So it is funto be able to say, ‘Hey look.We exist.’”
Much of the aerialacrobatics in the grand finaleshow are set to music fromB.C., including the crooningof Michael Buble, the folkmusic of Pied Pumkin and 1980s pop hits of Doug and the Slugs.
“We’ll be showcasing a lot of our unique (acrobatic)apparatuses and it’s kind of fun to be doing that with the work ofB.C. musicians,” Boulanger says.
Underground Circus celebrated its own 10th anniversarythis year. Boulanger and his wife, Ninon Parent, studied at theNational Circus School in Montreal, toured with Cirque du Soleilfor a couple of years and then decided to settle near Burnaby,where Boulanger grew up.
Underground Circus’s shows include acrobatic feats,contortionists and often comedy, but its work differs fromCirque du Soleil in that it doesn’t employ fantasy characters likethose that populated most of Cirque’s early shows, according toBoulanger.
“We’re almost always just people,” he says.“And I always tell people Cirque du Soleil is our competition,”
he quips. “So far they’re winning.Boulanger’s speciality at the moment is his chair-balancing act.
He likes to stack chairs atop a table and stand on his hands up to15 feet in the air.
“I’ve adapted my chairs so they actually can get stacked up inweirder ways,” he says.
Boulanger loves forms and shapes, and everyday sights suchas a tangled wire on his desk often inspire the unique apparatusesused by Underground Circus’s acrobats.
He taught himself to weld and then started fashioningdifferent shapes such as the “Triceau,” three rings weldedtogether, upon which two acrobats, stand, extend from and hangfrom one another.
Festivalgoers who like making their own shapes will be able todo so at other In the House events. Tenth anniversary festivitiesinclude a “Shadow Jam” on Saturday where audience memberscraft shadow puppets with the Vancouver-based shadow puppet
duo Mind of a Snail, improvise a story and pick up instrumentsto accompany the show. The milestone festival also includes afree community potluck on Lily Street Sunday morning completewith roving performers, square dancing and street hockey. Music,dance, magic, comedy and burlesque performances fill the festivalweekend across 13 homes and yards.
“I can’t really think of a better way to have a finale than withan amazing circus with a 20-foot tower that they can do aerialson,” says the festival’s artistic director Myriam Steinberg, whois excited the performance’s accompanying music will be B.C.themed.
“They performed last year for the finale and were one of thebiggest hits that we’ve had at the festival,” she adds. “There’s amagic that’s attached to circus that you don’t really have in thesame way with other acts. It’s kind of life the big fireworks at theend of the festival.”

ago but keep putting it off.This year’s Leos will see two special presentations at
the Saturday gala, says Daroshin. One is a tribute to TheBeachcombers, Canada’s longest-running dramatic TVproduction, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary, havingaired on CBC TV from 1972 to 1990. Jackson Davies (Const.John Constable) will take the stage as part of the tribute.
The second special presentation is an initiative thefoundation is launching in association with the DirectorsGuild of Canada, entitled the Stephen J. Cannell Friend ofB.C. Award.
“The suggestion here is that this individual may nototherwise have been eligible for a Leo Award because ourcriteria is based on residency, but there are a number ofpeople who have come in and out of our jurisdiction overtime and have been very supportive and helped to propel theindustry to the point where it is today,” says Daroshin.
The inaugural Stephen J. Cannell Friend of B.C. Award
is being awarded to David Nutter, whose directing creditsinclude Game of Thrones, Band of Brothers, Entourage and TheSopranos.
“He is a world-class television director. . . .” says Daroshin.“Here, he has piloted many of the shows that have gone onto sustain a tremendous amount of activity, not the least ofwhich is the pilot episode of Smallville, which went on a 10-year run here and became a bit of an industry in itself.”
Tonight’s Celebration Awards Ceremony, which willsee the distribution of craft and technical awards, will getunderway with a reception at 6 p.m., followed by dinner at 7p.m. and the awards presentation at 8 p.m.
Saturday’s Gala Awards Ceremony will get underway at4:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 6:30 p.m. and the programand performance awards presentation at 8 p.m.

FOR several decades after the Second World War Foncie Pulice captured countless images of Vancouveritesparading the downtown streets with this custom-built Electic-Photo camera.
day. By 11 o’clock he’d be downtown,” she says.He generally wheeled his camera to his
favourite corner on the east side of GranvilleStreet near Robson where he flashed his bulb atthe lunchtime foot traffic. After heading home fordinner, Pulice would often return to photographmoviegoers and night owls strolling beneath neonmarquees.
Despite describing him as a charismatic, “one-person community engagement co-ordinator,”Seidl says Pulice mainly let his camera to thetalking.
“He didn’t actually talk to people,” she says,explaining that Pulice really didn’t have time forconversation.
When viewing the negatives, Pulice’s workoften has a flip-book-like continuity, as theVancouverite in the background of one photobecomes the focal point of the next picture,creating a chain of passersby.
“This is constant. No time for talk. Just smile,snap, hand the card,” Seidl says.
Pulice supported his wife and two childrenwith his craft before eventually stepping off thestreet in 1979.
“He didn’t privilege anyone. He photographedeverybody through this incredibly open-hearted,democratic approach to photography,” she says.
The museum is planning to showcase 10,700of his photographs at the exhibition.
“Any one photograph is charming, butwhen you see 100 or 200 or, as we have in theexhibition, 10,000. . . it’s really powerful,” Seidlsays.
The museum has also digitized a reel ofPulice’s negatives, giving culture-seekers achance to experience the photog by watching a
continuous loop comprising all 10,700 photos.“I think it’ll be the rare visitor who decides to
go for that experience,” Seidl says.Part of the aim of the exhibit is to bring a little
more life to the myriad of black and white picturesthat adorn countless Vancouver photo albums.
“I hope that they start to see how they werea part of Vancouver’s history and the wonderfulhistory of street photography that happenedhere,” she says.
The other aim of the exhibit is to showcase aforgotten fixture of the city.
“I think he’s a local treasure and one of ourunsung heroes.”

It was revolutionary. Itwas a new art form. It wasaccessible to the masses.Polaroid technology was all thisand more.
In 1948 Edwin Landoffered the public the instantphotograph but it would takeawhile to catch on. By theSixties the Polaroid was part ofpopular culture and had beenembraced by dozens of well-known artists who were usingit to produce new and excitingwork but it was Andy Warhol who took the camera to new levels.Later on Warhol’s camera of choice, the SX-70 offered variousopportunities to manipulate the results and opened up creativechannels for the Pop Art icon.
As the R&D team at Polaroid continued to push the capabilitiesof their products, new inventions regularly emerged like the Type55 film that produced a negative or the large 20” x 24” formatfilm.
Before the success of the instant camera Land had alreadyscored big with the development of polarized lenses and otherpatents. By the end of his career Land held 535 US patents.
The comparisons between Polaroid and Apple come up oftenin the book and are easy to make. Both companies skyrocketedto success under the leadership of visionary men who had createda unique product. Unfortunately bankruptcy was Polaroid’s finalfinancial statement. Currently there are new owners of the Polaroidbrand and their projects are largely focused on 3D television.
Christopher Bonanos has researched the company archives aswell as numerous news sources and conducted many interviewsto piece together this interesting look at one of the most creativecompanies of the modern era.

MUSIC
Bel finding a big audience for her blues
Nicholas M. PescodContributing Writer
BLUES singer MelissaBel planned on goingto university after highschool, but when shetold her vocal coachabout her plans, hehad other ideas.
“I knew I wanted topursue music to some extentand my vocal coach at thetime, Ray Lyell, convincedme not to go to university,”Bel says.
Since her decision topursue a music career,Bel has gone on to reachnumber one on local chartsand perform in the UnitedStates, United Kingdom, andGermany.
Bel, 24, released herthird album, Don’t ForgetTo Breathe on June 4 with arelease party for the albumat Le Cheval Blanc inMontreal.
The Burlington, Ont.,native says her latestrecording has some newersounds and more maturelyrics than on previousefforts.
“This is the first timeI’ve ever used a drum loopin an album,” Bel says. “Iwas really hesitant and kind of resistant to it at first becauseI never want to come off too poppy. I want to keep thatorganic sound that I’ve always loved. So I think that westruck a really cool sound.”
Bel has been singing since she could talk. Her first albumwas released in 2009 when she was 18. Three years latershe released Distance, which reached number one on theMontreal jazz and blues charts. Both albums were producedby Tom Treumuth, who has worked with Big Sugar, GypsyRose and Honeymoon Suite.
The Lester B. Person High School graduate cites a widerange of influences such as, The Beatles, John Mayer, StevieWonder, Jason Mraz, Aretha Franklin, Christina Aguilera andBob Marley.
Bel says it is typically the subject matter in songs thatimpact and influence her.
“When I find something that is right where I am at thattime of my life that’s what I latch onto,” she says.
Bel’s music struck a chord with listeners overseas earlyon in her career. In 2010 she toured across Germany,performing 14 shows in 16 days.
“It was my first tour ever,” she says. “I got to Germanyand I had fans there, which absolutely blew my mind becauseit is across the ocean from us. I couldn’t believe it.”
According to Bel, despite the language barrier the crowdlistened very attentively to her music.
“They seemed so appreciative of the music,” she says.“They still had a connection to the music despite notknowing the words, which meant a lot to me.”
That same year Bel inked a record deal with Toronto-based Frostbite Media Inc. The label has a distributionagreement with Universal Music Canada and their diverselineup includes SoShy and Mathew Good.
“It’s hard to summarize all the things they help me outwith,” she says. “It is so nice to know I have a team behindme doing all the stuff behind the scenes. It gives me more ofa chance to focus on what I need to do as an artist.”
Bel has previously opened for Mathew Good and she hasshared the stage with Serena Ryder, Colin James and RonSexsmith. She says that working alongside big names is bothscary and humbling but it is also a learning experience.
“You learn so much from their confidence and how theyapproach the stage,” Bel says.
She often performs across southern Ontario andQuebec. In July she will be performing at Spencer SmithPark in Burlington, Ont., as part of the city’s Canada Daycelebrations.
“I got to sing the anthem here in Burlington a few yearsago but this year my band and I are going to be performingmy music,” she says. “It’s an honour to be asked to performat that in my hometown. As excited as it is to play in differentplaces, it is always nice to come home.”
In addition to her performances, Bel has sung the nationalanthem at Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors games.In June, she will be singing the national anthem for theQuebec Capitals, a Can-Am League baseball team.
“I am doing the Canadian anthem in French, which I’venever done before in public,” Bel says. “Doing the anthemeven in your own language is nerve-racking because it’s oneof the only songs that if you screw up people are going toknow.”
Bel receives airplay on a handful of radio stations in B.C.including 98.3 CIFM in Kamloops. She also can be heard onInternet radio stations around the world including, i-RadioPilipinas in the Philippines, Radio Garito de Blues in Spain,Kansas City Online Radio in Missouri and INtune Radio inToronto.
Since the beginning of her career social media has played avital role in expanding her fan base.
“It’s so great because it allows me to keep in contactwith those fans that aren’t local to me,” Bel says. “I thinkit is such a great way to interact with fans on a regular basisand give them little insights and sneak peeks into what I amdoing. That’s something that I find cool and interesting frommy favourite artists.”
Bel is already working on her next album, which will bereleased in 2014. She says that it is important for her to be asproductive as she can.
“I put a lot of pressure on myself but that is because whenyou go into a career like this, especially when you’re juststarting, you don’t want to have someone else putting thatpressure on you and making it feel like another type of job,”she says. “I like to make sure I am being as productive as Ican.”

LET’S face it: no onewith a car-loving bonein their body ever wokeup one day and said,“I can’t wait to get aminivan!”
Rather the opposite, I’mafraid. To the gearhead, thespeed-merchant, the weekendracer, and even the Momand Dad clinging to thatlast vestige of cool factorthey once had four hundredmillion years ago, a minivan isgiving up. It’s purgatory. It’sthe automotive equivalent ofsweatpants with baby-foodstains.
But it shouldn’t be.The young couple
down the street from merecently decided to replace
their faithful four-door VWhatchback with somethinga bit more commodious.They have a two-year-oldson, a desire to go on familytrips, and overseas-basedgrandparents who visitregularly.
A crossover? Well perhaps,but after measuring theirneeds against the spaceavailable in even the biggestsuch cars, a little morepracticality was needed. Theshopping began. I was notat all surprised to see a newHonda Odyssey end up intheir driveway.
After all, when they askedme, it was the machine Irecommended to them.Here’s why.Design
Honda released thecurrent-design Odyssey on themarket in 2010, and it’s stilla remarkably fresh-lookingdesign. A large front corporategrille provides a handsomeface and a trapezoidal dipsy-doodle in the rear gives somesort of character to the
side-profile.It is also bloody enormous.
“Mini”-van my foot.At five meters long
and two meters wide, theOdyssey is bigger than theboat which once propelledHomer’s classical hero onhis epic journey around theMediterranean. It’s hard tobelieve families once made dowith regular sedans.
Still, in a sea of SUVsand crossovers, even a vesselof such hefty proportionsdoesn’t look that big.Optioned in Dark CherryPearl paint, the Odyssey islarge and imposing, but still apretty good-looking rig.
Seventeen-inch wheels arestandard on the LX model,
Odyssey a worthwhile trip

HIP parents may think a minivan spells doom for their street cred but the massive yet stylish Honda Odysseymay just change your mind about what’s cool. It is available at Pacific Honda in the Northshore Auto Mall.

First introduced byautomakers, these company-wide methodologies aremaking it possible for carcompanies to develop newvehicles 20 to 50 per centfaster, reduce defects byanother 40 per cent or moreand market feature-rich carswithout increasing price to theconsumers.

features faster than you can blink?Of course, in recent months, much of the
price-reductions in Canada can be attributedto the change in currency, but they are alsodue to the fiercely competitive marketplace.Regardless, the truth is that car companies arejust getting better and smarter at developingand manufacturing cars.
So what do these terms mean anyways?What is Lean? No, it doesn’t mean that JennyCraig is suddenly involved in car designor manufacturing, but there is a definiteparallel between the weight-loss clinic andLean methodology: both focus on reducingunwanted waste from your system. In Jenny’scase, that “waste” refers to fat. In businesssituations, the “waste” refers to anything that isviewed as a “waste of time” (that is, non-value-added time) by the final buying customers.
The principle of Lean philosophy or thinkingsays that companies must shed everything thatdoes not add true value to end customers. Thatmeans they have to consciously work towardsremoving wasted time, space, or materials fromthe whole cycle of designing and manufacturingcars so that we — as end customers who buythem — get more bang for the buck. Lean isapplied through teams, who work together togenerate ideas for reducing waste.
The original Lean concept was firstdeveloped by Henry Ford, who applied thisthinking to produce Model Ts at astonishing
rate — at least by early 1900s standards. Toyotathen took the basic concept and worked on itfor more than 40 years, creating the ToyotaProduction System, or TPS for short. The TPSphilosophy is so widely used around the worldthat even emerging countries like Vietnam,which likely produced your newest Nike shoesor Old Navy T-shirt, now embrace Lean andTPS as key business drivers.
The American manufacturers took notice ofLean and TPS in the mid-1980s, and formedjoint ventures with Toyota, Suzuki, Mazda,and others in an attempt to learn TPS. Butbecause TPS relies heavily on teamwork andcollaboration, the philosophy was not easilyappreciated by Americans who emphasizedassertiveness, individualism, and independence.The difference in culture made it more difficultfor Americans to absorb this concept, eventuallyleading some U.S. experts to develop a differentprinciple called Six Sigma. We won’t go intodetails around Six Sigma now, but it’s a morecomplex, statistically driven method designedto highlight root causes for defects (or morespecifically, deviation from the standards). SixSigma is also a process improvement tool,utilizing what Motorola (the company whichdeveloped the original Six Sigma) calls DMAIC.DMAIC stands for Define, Measure, Analyze,Improve, and Control, and it essentially mapsout the five key steps in improving any process.Unfortunately, Six Sigma is also more complexthan either Lean or TPS, so not everyone isembracing it.
The combined cost savings derived fromthese methodologies is estimated at tens ofbillions of dollars. Motorola says it has savedmore than $15 billion since it launched SixSigma, and Ford stated it has already clocked$1 billion in savings in just a few years of usingthese tools.
Now what makes Toyota’s TPS morepowerful than Six Sigma? Simple, it’s the reachof the tool across the company. Ford, forexample, reportedly has about 50,000 peopletrained in Green Belt Six Sigma (the lowestcertification level). This isn’t bad, mind you,but Toyota — along with Honda, Mazda andall other Japanese automakers — train 100 percent of their employees to a level similar to aGreen Belt in Lean. In Toyota’s case, that’smore than a quarter of a million people thatall understand how to implement continuousimprovement ideas. In fact, Toyota employeesworldwide submit and implement more thanone million ideas for improvement each year.
Having studied Lean, TPS, and Six Sigmafor the past two decades and visited morethan 300 factories, I came to the conclusionthat they all contribute to better, lower costproducts — but the simpler Lean and TPSsystem have more sticking power. So, it shouldno be no surprise that Toyota, which utilizesTPS everywhere, continues to make record-breaking profits.
I should point out that terminology issomewhat confusing. For example, TPS refersprimarily to the methodologies used in processimprovement. When you take into account thephilosophies of Lean or TPS, and the culturaltransformation that happens through teamwork,the entire process is often just called the“Toyota Way” thinking or “Lean Thinking.”To make matters more confusing, in recentyears, Toyota has announced new methodologyor thinking called “Toyota Business Practices”or “TBP,” which is a new problem-solvingphilosophy that combines all of the past Toyotamethods and tools. Toyota has rolled out TBP
worldwide, so that every Toyota person cansolve problems and improve a process in aconsistent fashion. Talk about standardizationto the extreme.
Here in Vancouver, hundreds oforganizations are already involved in leantransformation — from manufacturing,warehousing, banking, insurance, hospitals toeven schools. Companies and organizationare applying the concept of lean and TPS todramatically improve their speed, quality, andservice, while enhancing their culture and eventheir corporate strategy.
And we are excited to hear that Jeffrey Likerand Mike Hoseus, authors of best selling booksabout TPS, are coming to Vancouver to speakabout the latest trends in lean, Toyota Way,and TPS. They are part of the Lean Summit,which takes place at the Terminal City Club inVancouver from June 18 to 20.
The authors will share the methodologiesand practices that lean organizations embraceto rise above the level of mediocrity in theirquest to create exceptional organizations.In addition, local and international industryleaders in the financial, health care, medicaland manufacturing sectors will share theirtriumphs, challenges and stories about theirlean journey. Local executives who will speakat this conference include Launi Skinner, CEOat First West Credit Union; Stu McIntosh,vice president at Cascade Aerospace; JohnKalbfeisch, COO at Alpha Technologies;and Scott McCarten of Vancouver CoastalHealth. More information can be found atleansummit2013.com
I’ll make one bet with you: within the nextfew years, your employer will ask you to takesome training on Lean, Six Sigma, TPS, orToyota Way. It’s only a matter of time beforeevery corporation is going to be endorsingthese ideas. Be ready.

Dr. Who’s Tardis is famousfor being bigger on the insidethan on the outside. As you’dexpect from a barn-on-wheels(an attractive barn, mindyou) like the Odyssey, interiorspace is exemplary.
The Odyssey strikes a solidbalance between adult-sizedseating and usable spacefor kids. Both the mid andrear rows are less cantedback than some competitorofferings, which allows foreasy installation of bothbooster seats and rear-facingchild seats. The mid-row seatsare probably too heavy forsmaller kids to tilt forwardand squeeze past — luckilythey can just scamper between
the twin captain’s chairs.Load-height levels are a
bit higher, so smaller kidswill again need to be liftedin. However, strapping inan infant is super easy foran average-height person toaccomplish, and the abilityto control all the powerdoors from either the keyfob or driver’s seat (as well asswitches mounted in the reardoor jambs) is handy.
Loading five adults intothe Odyssey showed that thefront four seats are plentycomfy and the rear seat isentirely workable if you’renot six-foot-plus. Even then,

it’ll suit for a short trip acrosstown: parents with lanky teensinvolved in plenty of teamsports take note.
When it comes tocargo, this thing has morecubby holes and secretcompartments than theMillennium Falcon. If it’snot a pocket, pouch, shelf orstorage bin, it’s a cupholder.Oh yeah, the cupholders:if you put a water bottle ineach one of these, you’dhave enough H20 to fill anOlympic-sized swimmingpool.
For hauling larger stuff,the easy-folding rear seathas a 60/40 split and foldscompletely flat into the rearfloor — the extra space whenthe rear seat is deployed makesplenty of room for coolers andso forth. However, with therear tailgate up, the step-upwill be a bit high if you’reloading an elderly pooch.
Moreover, while themiddle-row seats move backand forth, depending onpassenger’s varying legroomrequirements, they do notfold completely flat. WhenSaturday’s family activityincludes a run to Ikea, theremay not be quite as muchspace as anticipated. Youcan remove the middle rowentirely if this is the move offto college, and the next stopis trading in the minivan on atwo-seater S2000 roadster.
Regardless of what sortof shenanigans are goingon behind you, front-seat passengers will havecomfortable seats, an availabledrop-down wide-view mirrorto keep an eye on things, asensible dash layout and evenreasonable lines of sight.Performance
Well, it’s a minivan: wehardly even need this section,right?
Actually, with a 248horsepower V-6 mated toeither a five-speed automaticor a six-speed in Touringmodels, the Odyssey isquicker than you’d expect.It doesn’t burn off the line,instead building up inertia andspeed with strong mid-rangepower.
This is an exceptionallong-distance tourer. Wind-noise from the extra-largeside mirrors is perhaps abit noticeable, but witheverybody comfortable andentertained, the driver won’tbe bored either — this six-cylinder can be wound upeasily to pass any lugging 18-wheeler and the steering isn’tas numb as others.
When it comes tohandling, the Odyssey is averitable autocrosser’s dream.Hah. Just kidding.
However, this big hauleris considerably composedthrough long highwaysweepers. If you’re hustling tocatch a ferry, the danger isn’tthat you’ll over-drive the tires,but that you won’t know howfast you’re going and the localconstables will snap you up
— so watch your speed.For most vehicles, the
dynamic assessment stopsthere, but let’s talk aboutparking. As land prices goup, parking spot width goesdown, so manoeuvring a vaninto place can get tricky.
Luckily, a backup camera isnow standard on the Odyssey,and with an extra-large displayscreen, getting out of tightspaces is not the trial it couldbe. Additionally, the bluffnose makes tight turns fairlyeasy; however, if your familyactivities are mostly in-town,parallel parking is going totake a bit of practice.Features
Probably no other vehiclesegment can boast the kindof features you get aboard amodern minivan. The top-spec Touring Odyssey is like aluxury sedan hooked up to anair-compressor.
At the peak of the range,you get a multi-view rearcamera, an ultra-wide rear-entertainment system, 15-Gigabyte on-board hard-driveto load up with Sponge Bobsing-alongs and a 650-wattsystem to blast them through.Of course the cost for all thisis not inconsiderable: $47,190+ freight.
Better news for familieswho’ve got tuition to saveup for is the enhancementsmade to the base-modelOdyssey ($29,990) thisyear. A rear-view camera,USB connectivity, Bluetoothstreaming audio, a seven-speaker audio system and 2GB of on-board storage.
Mid-range models addalloys, power-sliding doorsand other amenities. It shouldbe noted that Touring modelshave a slight mechanicaladvantage over the LX,EX ($34,090) and EX-L($41,190) trim, with a six-speed automatic transmission,rather than a five-speed auto.
The six-speed option givesslightly better in-city fueleconomy at 10.9 litres/100kilometres in-city versus thefive-speed’s 11.7 l/100 km.Highway mileage is too closeto call: 7.2 l/100 km for thefive-speed, 7.1 l/100 km forthe six-speed.
More important is theOdyssey’s solid resale values:Touring models always doextremely well on trade-in orin the used car market. In fact,looking for savings on a year-old Odyssey is sometimes anexercise in futility, especiallywhen you weigh it againstlower dealer finance ratesand the cost of a year’s extrawarranty.Green light
Smooth ride; comfortableand spacious interior; plentyof cargo capacity; powerful V-6; improved standard features.Stop sign
Limited folding options formiddle-row seats; top-rangemodels get expensive quickly;six-speed transmission notavailable across the range.The checkered flag
Somewhere between acargo hauler and a business jet
— might just be a whole lotcooler than you think.
CompetitorsDodge Grand Caravan($19,995)
Dodge invented theminivan and their GrandCaravan remains the bargainleader for the segment. Whileyou can get a loaded-up vanwith similar equipment levelsas the Odyssey, these high-spec domestic vans aren’tquite as well-finished, nor willyou get a significant portionof your investment back.
A better idea is to go forthe reasonably equipped basicversion which is — there’sno other word for this— ridiculously cheap. It’spossible to spend less on a
brand new Dodge van thanon a mid-level Honda Civic!It’s the value choice, butnowhere near the fit and finishof the Honda.Toyota Sienna ($28,140)
Honda’s main rival inthis segment is the Sienna, aperennial favourite. At highertrim levels, there’s little topick them apart, although theSienna’s V-6 feels even morepowerful and its seats aremore adult-friendly.
At a base level, the Toyotafeels quite a bit cheaper,with odd, mouse-fur-likeupholstery. I also don’t thinkit’s quite as good looking asthe Honda, but in the mid-range, it’s almost a coin toss.
