The Seymour SalmonidSociety is floating a planto use explosives toslowly chip away some ofthe 50,000 cubic metresof rock that slid intothe Seymour River inDecember 2014, creatinga permanent new pondand blocking the path ofspawning fish.

“When the slide hap-pened, we in the salmonidsociety had a gut feelingthe slide was impassible forjuvenile fish heading out tothe ocean and mature fishingcoming back to the river,”said Shaun Hollingsworth,president of the stewardshipgroup.

To test their theory, thesociety volunteers radio-tagged 30 incoming maturecoho salmon below the slidein 2015, none of which madeit up the pool above. UBCresearchers also implantedacoustic tags about the sizeof a grain of rice in juvenilefish above and below theslide site in hopes. Of the fishreleased below the slide, 90per cent made it to the estu-ary. Of those released above,none made it past.

“In the summertime,especially last summer withthe limited rain, the waterdid not come over the top.It crept down through therocks below. We’d hopedthey might find a waythrough down there but now

NEWS: HISTORIC GRAND BOULEVARD HOME GETS MAKEOVER PAGE 10


Amalgamation of thetwo North Vancouversback into one isn’t justsomething district coun-cil members like to talkabout. They’re activelyworking towards it.

The district hired a policyanalyst last September toprepare a “reunificationresearch plan.” District coun-cil members got an update onthat research Monday eveningas well as an eye to where thestudy is expected to go overthe next two years.

Over 2016, Felim Donnellywill be looking into servicesoffered by the two munici-palities, looking for overlaps,gaps, inconsistencies, andmissed opportunities,especially in planning andtransportation policy.

In 2017, Donnelly will bedigging into financial metricsto provide a “clear-headedanalysis on financial to allowfor meaningful engagementwith residents and outsidepartners to begin.” That willinclude an in-depth examina-tion of tax rate differentialsbetween the two and analysisof likely changes post-mergeras well as an accounting ofall the assets and debts themunicipalities hold.

But anyone salivating

at the thought of instantlyreduced costs should amendtheir expectations, he warned,based on a review of pastamalgamations in Toronto,Montreal and Calgary.

“The argument for effi-ciency gains is pretty tenuousat best,” he said. “If you’regoing into this looking fordramatic millions of dollars offyour bottom line, you may bedisappointed.”

That’s thanks in part toregional districts already tak-ing on many of the servicesthat benefit from economiesof scale like water and sewagetreatment, Donnelly said, butalso because municipalitiestend to already be efficientdeliverers of services. Whenmunicipalities are merged,wages tend to be harmonizedupward and the one-timecosts of amalgamations canalso be in the tens of millionsof dollars, he warned.

But that doesn’t meanreunification should beabandoned, Donnelly said.Residents on both sides of the1907 border between the cityand the district would benefitif the two sides did urbanplanning and transportationinfrastructure as one.

Fired TW manager defrauded bandJANE [email protected]

A 40-year-old North Shorewoman who worked aseducation manager forthe Tsleil-Waututh Nationhas been placed underhouse arrest as part ofan 18-month conditionalsentence after pleadingguilty to defrauding theFirst Nation out of morethan $23,000.

Tonya Kristine Lewis wassentenced by Judge JoanneChallenger in North Vancouver

provincial court after plead-ing guilty to seven countsof defrauding her formeremployer between November2013 and April 2014.

Lewis stole the money,which was supposed to beused on programming forchildren and youth, to supporta gambling addiction.

“She stole money whichshould have gone to sup-port children and youth, andsquandered those funds gam-bling,” wrote Challenger.

In considering her sen-tence, Challenger noted Lewis

was a “trustedmember of themanagement of the Nation.She was considered to be apersonal friend to most of thestaff. Instead, she was breach-ing their trust on a day-to-daybasis.”

Lewis “was aware of andmanipulated the financialsafeguards in place for themanagement of the victim’sfunds,” Challenger wrote.

To pull off her fraud, Lewisissued cheques to outsiderswho then cashed them andgave Lewis the money. Shetold the people she recruitedto help that she was doing thatto “exhaust any surplus beforethe financial year-end,” accord-ing to the court decision.

Those people weren’t awarethat Lewis was using the cashfor her own purposes, wroteChallenger.

When Lewis was firstquestioned about one of thecheques, she lied, but soonafter confessed to taking themoney and said she’d spent iton a gambling addiction. Lewiswas immediately fired.

In a victim impact state-ment, a spokesperson forthe Tsleil-Waututh Nationwrote that the band is “highlydisheartened” by Lewis’s theft,which caused “substantialdistress” for staff, who spentmany hours investigating thefraud.

The Tsleil-Waututh

continue to believe theamount taken by Lewis issubstantially higher than the$23,200 reported to the RCMP.

In considering hersentence, Challenger notedLewis is of Squamish andNanaimo nation heritage andhas livedmost of her life onSquamish lands on the NorthShore. Lewis had a troubledchildhood and developedpersonality traits of being“manipulative, secretive anddeceitful” as a coping mecha-nism to deal with past trauma,wrote Challenger. Lewis has noprevious criminal record. ButChallenger noted in 2004 Lewiswas fired from a job with theSquamish Nation after being

caught defrauding that FirstNation of a similar amount.Criminal charges were notpursued in that case.

Challenger sentencedLewis to an 18-month con-ditional sentence, beginningwith a term of house arrest,along with 100 hours of com-munity work service, followedby three years’ probation.Terms of probation includestaying away from gamblingfacilities, taking counsellingand being banned from anyemployment which would giveher control over an employer’smoney. The judge also orderedLewis to work towards payingback the Tsleil-Waututh themoney she took.

TREVOR LAUTENS PRODUCE PRICES 8MAILBOX NORTH VAN MUSEUM 9INQUIRING REPORTER PIPE SHOP’S FUTURE 10


The province is kicking in an extra $10million to aid B.C.’s 80 volunteer searchand rescue teams.

North Vancouver-Lonsdale MLA NaomiYamamoto, also minister of state for emergencypreparedness and an avid trail runner, made theannouncement from the North Shore Rescue’sTim Jones Rescue Centre onWednesday after-noon while flanked bymembers of almost adozen search and rescue teams.

“Today, it’s time to give them just a littlebit more support,” she said, committing theone-time $10-million grant. “They comb theprovince’s backcountry, they rappel into steepravines. They weather the worst of the ele-ments all while leaving the comforts of hometo find those who are lost and injured. Theyare the epitome of volunteerism and service.It’s safe to say you are the heroes of so manypeople in British Columbia.”

B.C. Search and Rescue Association presi-dent Chris Kelly said he’d only just learned ofthe funding injection and hadn’t yet determinedhow the 80-member teams will divvy up the $10million.

Yamamoto said there will be a processbased on criteria made in concert withEmergency Management B.C.

North Shore Rescue team leader Mike Dankswelcomed the news and said his top priority forany of the funds coming in will be backcountrysafety education.

“Currently, we’re getting so many requests,it’s really tough for us to keep up with those,so anything that helps with the prevention sidewould be a huge thing,” he said.

North Shore Rescue is coming off thebusiest year in its history with more than 130rescue missions. The team has been lobby-ing the province for a new funding model soits burnt-out members won’t have to include

fundraising in their volunteer time.The province is expected to respond to a

proposed new funding model from the associa-tion later in the spring, something Danks andhis teammates will be keeping a close eye on.

“It really comes down to how it’s going tofit for each team because each team is veryunique in their call volume and their member-ship and facilities and infrastructure. We justwant to make sure that it’s not a one-size-fits-all,” he said.

“I knowwe have a long way to go but I thinkthis current allotment of funding for search andrescue in B.C. is a leap forward and there’s beena lot of work that’s gone on in the backgroundto make that happens and we’re very apprecia-tive of the support that we get locally not onlyfrom the MLAs but from the community.”

Uber’s arrival in B.C. is inevi-table, Transportation MinisterTodd Stone says.

The ride-hailing app hassparked controversy in most

cities it’s set up in.What separates them from a typical cab

company is that they’re just not that intothe rat’s nest of Passenger Safety Boardlicensing, regulations, insurance, safetyinspections, taxes and background checks.

Instead, they prefer to cast themselvesas a technology company that simply con-nects people wanting a ride with peoplewilling to drive their personal vehicle(while keeping most of the money).

But consumers love it for its on-demand gratification and user friendliness.Pickup, drop off and payment are allcarried out at the touch of a smartphonescreen.

It’s especially convenient when one is

caught downtown in the rain with most ofa bottle of wine sloshing around in one’stummy. When it comes to giving the publicwhat they want, it’s hard to deny theappeal.

But there is surely more to the storythan the dazzle of its convenience. Eventhough they may be onerous, thoseregulations are there for our safety so weshouldn’t be surprised when accidentshappen. We’ve yet to see how the prov-ince is going to reconcile Uber’s Wild Westbusiness model with bureaucracy the taxiindustry faces. We also have concernsabout Uber’s reportedly low wages andspiking fares.

But what Uber and other on-demandservices offer could be an important piecein the way we get around our cities.

If they can find a way to play by therules, we’ll be ready to hail them downany time.

While the sunny moodis still on a roll: My wife andI were recovering from agrand Robbie Burns din-ner in Victoria – wherethe murmur was that thepreciously ladled-out wildhaggis might be put on theendangered list, and farmedon the farmed salmon modela possibility.

With fine coincidence,an upbeat gent on the ferrywho ambled by to droolover my 30-year-old Englishcar turned out to be thecomedian Johnny Bagpipes,heading for a gig. How cananyone make the bagpipesfunnier – the only musicalinstrument that can’t beaccompanied by another,except the drums, compet-ing to drown out the other?

Maybe an old English caris even funnier. Getting itstarted can be an amusingskit itself.

Inventively, Johnny’s“business card” is a guitarpick bearing his websiteaddress. And by the way,beware the wild haggis: It hasmore bite than several dramsof scotch.

Turning to what isdeemed serious business:Douglas Todd is a large,under-recognized VancouverSun asset. His deep researchcan confound or confirm so-called conventional wisdom– such as his recent com-pelling study showing thatfar more aboriginal murdervictims are male than female(71 per cent to 29 per cent).

Who knew? Women’spriorities, intersecting withthe mantra of historical whiteshame, have suppressed thisinformation.

And this too: 92 per centof female aboriginals arekilled by family or acquain-tances, only eight per centby strangers. These numbers

illuminate the absurdity ofthe politicized demand foran inquiry into missing andmurdered aboriginal women,a colossal waste of time andtreasure.

Safe, accessible busservice on the Highway ofTears would help reducethese terrible murders morethan a dozen inquiries. Butthat would take away thereal inquiry objective –political theatre driven by theideological momentum of the“progressive” elites, certainto affix blame on colonialism,white racism etc. – and ofcourse do nothing to lessenmurder within families.

# # #

More humbug: The officialCanadian, recognizable byhis peculiar arm – bent fromslapping his own back, asmodelled by our dear Ottawaleaders – is compassionate,welcoming, warm towardsuffering Middle Easternrefugees.

Here’s a typically disabus-ing reality: In West Van twodoctors, an orthopedic sur-geon and an anesthesiologist,

both settled in Canada for acouple of years, can’t work intheir valuable, needed profes-sions – without returning toschool for five years.

Yes, our provincial wallsand protectionist unions byany name deserve consider-ation. But they don’t sit wellwith our pieties.

# # #

West Van Coun. ChristineCassidy thinks an asidein my last piece about theproposed Centre for Art,Architecture & Design gavea false impression about herstand, which is:

“I will/would not vote forany CAAD building that occu-pies the John Lawson parkinglot. I will not vote for anyCAAD building that occupiesthe waterfront. I will not votefor any CAAD building, in anylocation, that cannot providea viable business model. Ido not want the taxes of thecitizens of West Vancouverused to support a ‘whiteelephant.’ ”

Sinceits inception as an eventspace the Pipe Shop hasbeen in demand and usedfor everything from marketsto weddings, fundraisers tofashion shows, school events,product launches and evenweekly yoga. The restored

Pipe Shop is a history les-son in itself with soaringvaulted ceilings, impressivereclaimed beams and walls ofwindows. As a space usableby the community, the PipeShop will continue to makehistory as an integral part ofthe new central waterfrontdevelopment.

As an event planner, thePipe Shop is the kind ofvenue my dreams are madeof. A large, open space for upto 700, flooded with naturallight and with character inspades, the Pipe Shop is ablank canvas that can be

transformed to fit a cli-ent’s vision or look just asimpressive when left as is. Itis unmatched in Vancouverand beyond, making NorthVancouver a destinationfor those seeking out aunique yet attainable venue.I look forward to watchingthe transformation of theShipyards over the next fewyears and am delighted toknow that the Pipe Shop willcontinue to be an accessiblepart of the community foryears to come./$!+0- *01"%)$!89 .0-,$64"!

THE PIPE SHOP’S FUTURE DEBATED

City ofNorthVancouver council voteddownearlier thisweekplans for a local historymuseumat thePipe Shop, heredecorated for awedding. PHOTOSUPPLIEDTHEAPARTMENTPHOTOGRAPHY

Rejection ofmuseumplans a loss to the city("0! '+78$!&

Re: Waterfront MuseumPlans are History, Jan. 27 front-page story

I agree totally with Coun.Pam Bookham’s assessmentof city council’s rejection ofplans for a museum at theShipyards. It most certainly is,in her words, “A great failureof the imagination!” And, inmy opinion, it is also anotherexample of certain council-lors putting money before ourheritage.

Money, of course is alwayssomething to consider. Butwhere our heritage is con-cerned it should never be theprimary factor that deter-mines if a project goes aheador not. And heritage projectsmost certainly should not bejudged in terms of a businesscase – especially when thebusiness comparison used isflawed and a poor assessment

to begin with, as Coun. DonBell so rightly pointed out.

Where heritage is con-cerned, I ask council to askthemselves one questionabove all others: howmuch isnot going ahead with a projectgoing to cost us? Where coun-cil’s rejection of this project isconcerned, the loss to the cityis immeasurable.

Once again, council hassquandered an opportunity tobequeath to future genera-tions our heritage, on a sitebefitting our past. This is thesecond time that we in NorthVancouver have lost an oppor-tunity to do something specialfor future generations. ThoughI don’t blame city council forthe first. No, that lies entirelyat the feet of the federalConservatives, who pulledthe rug out from under ourfeet when they refused to helpfund the building of a maritime

museum on this site. Had theyhonoured their commitmentto support such a project,North Vancouver would nowbe home to a wonderful legacyfor future generations and itwould be the home for the St.Roch – which, in my humbleopinion is where the St. Rochshould be.

Perhaps it is now timeto combine both projectstogether and show someimagination for a change. Wenow have a federal govern-ment that seems amenable tosupporting such worthwhileprojects. Let’s take advan-tage of this and redress twowrongs. We, as a city, deserveas much, and we deserve acouncil that has the fore-sight to see the value of ourheritage as opposed to thecost of it.57,3 20!!7:$-)$!89 .0-,$64"!

Neighbourhood resi-dents concerned overthe construction fenc-ing and work crewsat the historic Young/Henderson residence inthe 1700-block of GrandBoulevard need notworry.

The home, described byCity of North Van plannersas “perhaps the best exam-ple of the remaining heritagehomes from the secondwave of development,” in thearea isn’t getting prepped forbulldozing.

The 89-year-old home,built in the English artsand crafts style, is gettingrefurbished, and soon itwill have a new next-doorneighbour, after a decisionby council on Monday infavour of rezoning the two-lot property to allow for asecond brand-new home onthe property.

The rezoning allows forthe two existing lots to berealigned, creating a new lotfronting on East 18th Street.The Young/Henderson resi-dence will remain in placeon the lot fronting GrandBoulevard. The new lot willcontain a single family houseand attached garage.

The property was pur-chased last spring by DerekPorter, a local builder witha penchant for heritagehomes. Porter purchasedthe 1903-built HamersleyHouse on East Second in2002 and lovingly restoredthe home originally built forAlfred St. George Hamersley,Vancouver’s first citysolicitor.

Since then, Porter hasundertaken several heritage

projects, including one inthe same Grand Boulevardneighbourhood as theYoung/Henderson house.

“I did the one across thestreet 15 years ago,” he said.

He’s kept his eye on theYoung/Henderson residenceover the years and recently,after stopping by to take alook, a Realtor specializingin heritage homes calledhim on the same day. Itwas about to come on themarket.

“I think there is a lot ofvalue in these old heritagehouses,” said Porter, whoalso owns Emery House onEast First Street in NorthVancouver.

Ross Henderson and hiswife Frieda owned the housesince 1961. When dealingwith the estate, the couple’sthree surviving daughtersvoluntarily gave the home aheritage protection covenantto protect it from demolitionand preserve its character,along with a pair of copperbeech trees and stone retain-ing wall in the front yardbefore it went on the market.

There were competingbids for the property andPorter even submitted his“heritage resume” with hisbid for the property, whichmay have put him over thetop.

“I have a passion forheritage homes and main-tain several heritage homesand have a background inthe restoration of heritagehomes. I’m thrilled that thethree daughters representingtheir father’s estate trustedus with the revitalization ofthis coveted property,” hetold council.

“This home meant

everything to them,” hesaid, adding, “at 89 yearsold we’re actually only thethird owners of this beauti-ful house and I’m honouredto be part of this home’shistory.”

As for the refurbishmentof the house, Porter said itwill get a brand-new roof,added bathrooms, legalsuite and other modernconveniences, like heatedbathroom floors and a larger,more modern kitchen withstainless steel “but it will besensitive to the period.”

The original windows willbe refurbished, not replaced,and chandeliers will remain

in the living room, “like it’sbeen for 80 years.”

“Eight decades later thishouse still looks fantastic. Ijust have to boost it into thenext generation and makeit liveable for a modernfamily.”

Porter, whose companyis called A Carpenter andGentleman Construction Co.Ltd., is doing the projectwith Chris Enns and archi-tect Charles Moorehead.

“The Young/Hendersonresidence will retain itsestate-like appearance,” saidPorter. “The home will befully restored, although thishome was kept in immacu-late condition, the pride inownership is abundantly

evident everywhere.”Council was unanimous in

its support for the rezoning.“I’m very supportive of

this project and the Young/Henderson is actually oneof my favourites if notthe favourite on GrandBoulevard. I pass by itfrequently,” said Coun. LindaBuchanan. “And first andforemost I’d like to thankthe family for voluntarilyprotecting the home prior toit coming to council for legalprotection because I thinkit’s significant to ensure thatwe are looking at means andways in which we can retainthe heritage homes in ourcommunity and particularlyalong Grand Boulevard.”

JOHN [email protected]

In her music Julia Holter creates sonic journeys witha consummate craftsmanship that draws from a widerange of sources.

A classically-trained pianist working in avant-pop realms, sheincorporates influences such as medieval composer GuillamedeMachaut, 1960s girl groups and the stream of consciousnessoperas of Robert Ashley into her work.

Holter’s debut album, Tragedy, released in 2011, is conceptu-ally rooted in Euripides’ Hippolytus, while 2013’s Loud City Song,loosely based on Colette’s novel Gigi, features a cover of Barbara

Lewis’ top 40 soul hit “Hello Stranger” set in amongst otheroriginal tunes. The indie singer/songwriter likes to throw somecurves into her music.

Tragedy and 2012’s Ekstasis, she recorded on her own inlayers, while Loud City Song and Holter’s latest, Have You inMy Wilderness, bring in a producer and a full band to accom-pany her. Perhaps because she’s writing with other musicians inmind Holter has begun to move towards more conventional songstructures but the transition does not seem to have affectedher intense esthetic at all. The song remains the samemainlybecause the young Holter is an old hand when it comes to think-ing about compositional technique.

“When I was like nine I remember having music in mymind,”Holter says on the phone from Los Angeles. “I wanted to writebut I was like, ‘No, I can’t do that.’ I didn’t know about contem-porary composers. A lot of Americans don’t understand thatthere are people who are still composers. It’s kind of like poets –people don’t know there are people who are actually poets.”

Holter got her first taste of music as an art form as a teenagerat L.A.’s Alexander Hamilton High School Academy of Music. “Ihad some great teachers in high school,” she says. “I went to aregular school that had a music program that was pretty strongand teachers there taught us theory and that was pretty impor-tant for me.

“Bob Bruning, the electronic music class teacher atHamilton, took us to the NAMM show, the big music tech-nology convention in L.A., and we got to meet Bob Moog– Robert Moog, the guy who invented the moog. It was socrazy – he came to our class. It was extremely cool. When Istarted at Hamilton, I was like 14, I guess and I said, ‘I want tomake electronic music.’ Basically what that meant is I went toGuitar Center and bought a big Casio.”

Holter started seriously composing while she was studying atthe University of Michigan. “My first teacher at Michigan was a

Julia Holter’s latest album,HaveYou inMyWilderness, onDominoRecords,mademany year-end top 10 lists, including TheGuardianwhere it finished fourth. PHOTO SUPPLIED MARC SETHI

REVIEW: 45 YEARS

Narrowcrack in the rockopensupoldmemories! 45Years.WrittenanddirectedbyAndrewHaigh.StarringCharlotteRamplingandTomCourtenay.9(outof10)

JULIE CRAWFORDContributingWriter

Thanks to global warm-ing a glacier melts,exposing a body per-fectly preserved afterfive decades. That’s thefirst big secret in AndrewHaigh’s 45 Years.

It’s also the perfectmetaphor for many tenserevelations to follow: theweek leading up to a 45thanniversary party proceedsat a glacial pace while asteady drip, drip, of freshinformation erodes a

seemingly bedrock marriage.After Geoff (Tom

Courtenay) receives a lettertelling him that his formerlover’s body has been recov-ered in the Swiss Alps, Kate(Charlotte Rampling) doeswhat any self-respectingEnglishwoman would do:she puts the kettle on. Thecouple leads a quiet life inthe Norfolk countryside, lis-tening to the radio, readingand walking the dog.

Geoff’s health has beeninconsistent; it’s why theynever celebrated their 40thanniversary. Now he’s evermore distracted. At first Katewelcomes new informationabout her husband’s firstlove, but soon his preoc-cupation with her grateson Kate’s nerves: “I can

hardly be cross at somethingthat happened before weexisted,” she says, “but still.”

There are small mus-ings (why didn’t they takemore photographs?) and bigquestions (why didn’t theyhave children?). That fissure,that “narrow crack in therock” that claimed the life ofGeoff’s old love, is exactlywhat is happening to theirsupposedly rock-solid mar-riage. Geoff starts smokingagain and making nighttimetrips to a stash of memoriesin the attic. Did Kate neverthink to snoop before, or wasshe worried about what shemight find? Perhaps tellingeach other everything isoverrated after all.

As the days untilSaturday’s party count

down, the mood shifts fromcuriosity about the past, toannoyance with its persis-tence, to fear that the pastmay have torn away whatfuture was left.

“It’s like she’s beenstanding in the corner of theroom all this time,” observesKate of the woman beforeher.

Andrew Haigh (Weekend)adapted the screenplay fromDavid Constantine’s shortstory “In Another Country.”Haigh doesn’t rely on swathsof dialogue or melodramaticoutbursts: the strength is inthe quiet moments, the dis-appointed, poignant looks,the angry shutting off of afavourite song on the radio.

Rampling excels at saying as much with a look as with aparagraph of dialogue and earned a Best Actress nominationfor her understated performance; Courtenay is the pictureof rumpled, confused and obsessed with the fantasy ofwhat-might-have-been.

It’s an honest, unsentimental look at what makes amarriage last until older age, and how tenuous even adecades-old bond can be.

!CityofWater,SeaofGlass, anoriginalperformance instal-lation featuringblown-glassinstruments,Friday, Jan.29at8p.m.atErickson’sWaterfallBuildingGallery, 205 - 1540WestSecondAve.,Vancouver.Tickets:brownpapertickets.com

MARIA [email protected]

A group of B.C. glass-blowers and musicalcomposers have collabo-rated to elevate an ancientscience experiment involv-ing water and glass toharmonious levels.

North Vancouver-basedRedshift Music Society hasteamed up with This Is ItDesign in Roberts Creek tocurate an original performanceinstallation to be unveiled onJan. 29 that intersects art andmusic: City of Water, Sea ofGlass.

Sticking to its mandate toproduce unique concerts inunconventional spaces, thistime around Redshift wantedto showcase Vancouver’sWaterfall Building Gallery—with its Louvre-like slopingglass walls.

“It’s a unique open space,it’s ambient and beautifularchitecturally,” says Redshiftartistic director JordanNobles. “We have a lot ofbeautiful architecture in thiscity and we like to exploit it.”

Redshift has oftencapitalized on the reverber-ant atrium of the VancouverPublic Library by spreadingmusicians throughout sevenlevels, creating a unique,captivating soundscape.

To commemorate the100th anniversary of theTitanic sinking, in 2012,Redshift put on a concert atthe Vancouver Aquatic Centrethat featured musiciansperched on the dive towerwhile people swam below.

For its latest performance,taking the theme water andglass, Redshift staff startedwith the art first. Theyapproached two B.C.-basedglassblowers and sculptors,Heather Konschuh and RobertStuder, to create strikinglyoriginal percussion instru-ments made of water andglass.

Nobles says it was a trialand error experiment, watch-ing the artists blow glass andthen working with them tocreate cool sounds. Plenty ofglass was broken was in theprocess, he reveals.

“Wouldn’t it be cool if wehad a gong that was glass?Apparently not,” says Nobles,with a laugh.

Almost everyone hasheard the reverberant soundof musical glasses, created byrubbing fingers on the rims, aphenomenon that dates backto Renaissance times. Thisgoes beyond that.

There are “tons of othersounds that you can make”with water and glass, explainsNobles. Imagine the sound ofcoins dropping into cavernousglass bowls, or water beingstrained to emulates a seriousrainfall.

B.C.-based composersBenton Roark, Nova Pon, ChrisReiche, Christiaan Venter andMariah Mennie were givenfree rein to create music forwater or glass instruments ora combination of both. Thosepieces will be premieredduring City of Water, Sea ofGlass, by the Vancouver-basedFringe Percussion quartetplaying the specially craftedglass instruments.

The new percussioninstruments created by theglass sculptors include theChromarimba, a three-octavemarimba with 31 tones peroctave and keys of glass;the Rainbow, a six-inch-talltree that holds seven bowls

of blown glass in graduallytapering sizes; and GlassBowl-Gongs, featuring five sus-pended, inverted bowl-gongsfashioned from blown glass.

North Vancouver residentDaniel Tones, who plays in theFringe Percussion Quartet,says the performance is ulti-mately about the connectionbetween sound, sculpture andspace.

“It’s not every day that amusician has the opportunity

to play brand new instrumentsthat are themselves works ofart,” said Tones. “Musiciansand visual artists collaborat-ing like this is an amazingexpression of creativity andculture.”

The evening culminateswith the Vancouver premiereof “Water Music,” a virtuosoquartet for amplified waterbowls penned by renownedChinese composer Tan Dun,who composed the score

for Crouching Tiger, HiddenDragon, and for the 2008Beijing Olympics. Redshiftrented an assortment of “rareand beautiful” instrumentsfrom Dun for the performance.

“Musicians get quite wetduring the piece, splashingand being percussive with theinstruments,” says Nobles.

City of Water, Sea of Glasscurators hope the perfor-mance and use of the organicelements will connect peopleto their urban soundscapes,“which is particularly

important during the dark,wet winter months whenloneliness can seep into thecollective consciousness.”

January was specificallychosen for the event becauseit “is a great time for rain.”Judging by Friday’s forecastthere should an adequateamount of rain to cascadedown the glass walls of theWaterfall Building and add tothe ambience of the event.

“We couldn’t do thisshow in the summer,” laughsNobles.

When Metallica’s “AllNightmare Long” is partof the evening’s musi-cal program, you knowyou aren’t going to atraditional orchestraperformance.

Dressed in their signaturered-and-black outfits, the40-plus classically trainedmembers of Plastic AcidOrchestra will play a modernsymphonic arrangementof the 2008 heavy metalhit, along with a number ofother eclectic pieces, whenthey take the stage at NorthVancouver’s Centennial

Theatre this weekend.Tearing down genres and

finding new fans for orches-tral performance is all part

of the mission for BryanDeans, the founder, musicaldirector and conductor ofPlastic Acid Orchestra.

“I love classical music,but I’m also a rocker and intonew ideas and exploring theboundaries of new musicgenres,” he says.

Deans, who has beenplaying the cello since hewas “knee-high to a grass-hopper,” formed PlasticAcid Orchestra 10 yearsago. Initially, the memberswere all volunteers, but the

group has since grown intoa professional symphonyorchestra playing a mixof original compositions,works from young Canadiancomposers, and fresharrangements of contempo-rary hit songs.

The group has played tocheering crowds at GranvilleStreet nightclubs, beenaccompanied by burlesquedancers and fire spinners,and was the largest groupin history to perform at theVancouver International Jazz

Festival last summer.Saturday’s concert will

feature a number of spe-cial guests, including theLions Gate Sinfonia YouthOrchestra, of which Deans isassistant conductor.

“I’m really passionateabout working with youth,”notes Deans, who is also aschool music teacher.

Other guests includeNorth Vancouver-raised JackGarton of the indie rootsband Maria in the Shower,and François Houle, oneof the city’s preeminentexperimental musicians anda Vancouver CommunityCollege instructor, whoarranged “All NightmareLong” and will be rockingout in his clarinet during thesymphonic rendition.

Meanwhile, Torontocomposer Jason Nett hascontributed two works to theset, and Giorgio Magnanensi,artistic director of VancouverNew Music, will conduct apiece that goes “beyond nor-mal,” Deans says, and usesshapes and colours insteadof sheet music.

“It’s not written in noteformat. It’s written in kind ofgestures and symbols and hehas different expressions andguidelines for the orches-tra, so it’s a totally uniqueexperience for the playersand completely unique to theaudience.”

Some Plastic Acid origi-nals will also be on tap, andStar Wars fans will recognizearrangements from theiconic movie series.

Though the groupis known to play classi-cal works by Beethoven,

Shostakovich, Dvorak andthe like, North Vancouveraudiences won’t hear any ofthat on Saturday.

“A lot of the writing isbased on classical format,but there’s no direct classicalmusic in this particular set,”Deans says.

He got his start play-ing the classical greatswith his violinist sister anddeveloped a taste for liveperformance early on. Asyoungsters, they would headdown to Granville Island withtheir instruments and earna few dollars busking fortourists.

“The cute factor probablyhelped,” he admits. “Thenwe started creating ourown music because we gottired of playing the classicalduets.”

The siblings went on toperform at weddings andclubs. “By 16, we had a smalllittle LP album and we wereinvited to play at certain ven-ues and it was pretty cool.”

They both studied musicat Douglas College and theUniversity of Victoria. Sincegraduating, Deans has beenassistant conductor of theVancouver PhilharmonicOrchestra, a member of theWest Coast Symphony anda conductor and performerwith many other local ensem-bles. Plastic Acid Orchestrais a passion project thatallows him to play with genreand shake up the classicalmusic scene.

“Our theme is trying tobreak borders and do weird,different, cool things,” hesays. “It’s all about experi-menting with new sounds.”

The Plastic Acid Orchestra has played to cheering crowds at Granville Street nightclubs, been accompanied by burlesque dancers and fire spinners,and was the largest group in history to perform at the Vancouver International Jazz Festival last summer. PHOTO SUPPLIED

Artisan collective showcases local talent

CHRISTINE [email protected]

Internet shopping isfast and easy, but whenit comes to certainproducts, like clothing,jewelry or scented soaps,the online experiencejust doesn’t compare tobrowsing in-store.

North Vancouver resi-dent Albert Lo, the designerbehind Lomolicious clothing,sells his handmade ponchosand neck warmers throughhis website, but the bulk ofhis customer transactionshappen in person at seasonalcraft fairs.

“I like to sell directly. I likemeeting the customers andexplaining and talking aboutmy stuff,” he says.

He recognizes theimportance of seeing andtouching products, especiallywearables.

“I know personally, as ashopper, I’d like to feel thefabric, or I’d like to see howit’s made, or I’d like to knowhow it fits. Those elementsare very important to meand I think most shoppers dokeep that in mind as well.”

Lo runs Lomolicious withhis sister, Helen Waterson,and the pair have consideredopening up a bricks-and-mor-tar shop. But, as is the casewith many small businesses,the high cost of renting primeretail space is prohibitive.

Fortunately, the siblings havediscovered an alternativebusiness model that allowsthem to sell their “West Coastchic” cotton and bamboo gar-ments year-round in a store,without being solely respon-sible for all the overhead.

Lo and Waterson areamong the four co-ownersof Under the Umbrella, anartisan collective located at67 Lonsdale Ave. in NorthVancouver. Formerly calledIn Good Company, the shopwent through a restructuring

last summer and now has anew name, different owner-ship, and a mandate to carryexclusively local, handmadegifts and fashions. Theother two partners are JeanStenhouse of Little MoSo eco-friendly children’s clothing,

and Doris Jetz of Ink & Dollygreeting cards and art prints.

“It’s not as big of a com-mitment when you have twoother partners,” Lo says.

As one of the owners, Lo’sclothing line is carried in theshop permanently. Under

the Umbrella rotates throughother artisan lines, so thestock is always changing.Currently, there are about 30crafters with products on theshelves and racks, including

Albert Lo, Doris Jetz, Jean Stenhouse and Helen Waterson co-own Under the Umbrella, an artisan collective in Lower Lonsdale. The shop sells a curatedcollection of locally made apparel and gift items. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH

“The bulk of the artisansare actually from the NorthShore – I would say almost 40per cent,” says Waterson, aLions Bay resident.

Participating artisans payto sublease the space andare encouraged to work inthe store if they’re avail-able. Meanwhile, Under theUmbrella also buys wholesalefrom more established localbusinesses, such as Karla’sSpecialteas. Regardless ofthe size of the business,there’s a curatorial focus on“well-made, creative, uniqueproducts that have a market,”Waterson explains.

In addition to providingdisplay space to participatingartisans, Under the Umbrellaalso has a Mini Makers sec-tion open to crafters aged17 and younger. The idea isto give youth a place to selltheir creations and introducethem to the world of entre-preneurship by charging just$10 a month in rent and 10per cent commission on anyitem sold.

“Not only will we be givingthem the opportunity to selltheir products, we’re hopingthat it’ll give them the experi-ence of actually running theirown business,” Watersonsays.

Overall, she hopes thestore serves as a vehicle forlocal makers to support oneanother and sell more of theirproducts, while at the sametime exposing shoppers tonew talent and an alternativeto the “fast shopping” trend.

“We really want to encour-age people to shop local, andto shop handmade – to shopless, but to shop well,” shesays.

ArtsClubstagingclassicAustencomedy

! Pride and Prejudice atStanley Industrial AllianceStage (2750 Granville) untilFeb. 28. Tickets from $29;ArtsClub.com.

KELSEY KLASSENContributing writer

From the beloved 1995BBC miniseries to theBollywood musical,Lizzie Bennet YouTubevlog and Bridget Jones’sDiary homage . . . (not tomention the serviceablefan fictions, dubious zom-bie and vampire updates,comic book adaptations,and creepy Colin Firthstatues) there is noshortage of Pride andPrejudice to be found inpopular culture.

Still, in a true testamentto the enduring allure ofJane Austen’s 19th-centuryrom-com, fans are surelyfanning their faces in excite-ment over the upcomingArts Club Theatre Company

presentation.Director Sarah Rodgers

certainly is. The theatreveteran, in fact, still can’t get

enough . . .“First of all, my family is

British, so I grew up a JaneAusten fan,” says Rodgers.

“I read Pride and Prejudicein Grade 9 and I think I readit every year after that. AndI grew up watching everymovie, every miniseries. Likemany women on the planet,”she adds, with a genuineschool-girl giggle. “It really isa dream come true to directthis piece.”

Rodgers, a 12-time JessieAward nominee who justlast summer helmed theTheatre Under The Starshit Hairspray!, is bring-ing Austen’s 1813 novelof manners to life at theStanley Industrial AllianceTheatre this week. It’s notsome dusty adaptation thatwallows in the drama of itall, however. In this version,penned by Victoria play-wright and 2014 GovernorGeneral’s Award-finalist JanetMunsil, the fat is trimmedfrom the 300-some-odd-pageprose, leaving only a tightlywitty script.

“It’s a fantastic script.We are so lucky to have thisversion,” raves Rodgers.“(Munsil) has written a com-edy, and she’s also writtena very economical script.If you were to sit and readaloud the novel, it takes 12hours,” Rodgers explains,“so (Munsil) has distilled a12-hour read into two hours,and it is concise, witty, mov-ing, charming. She has all thebest lines in it.”

And those lines – that dia-logue – is where the Austenmagic happens. For thosewho don’t know the storyby heart, Pride and Prejudicefollows a year in the lifeof intelligent, headstrong

Elizabeth Bennet, of themany Bennet sisters. WhenElizabeth encounters thewealthy, brooding Mr. Darcy,assumptions are made andpoor first impressions mustbe overcome, mostly throughsharp verbal repartee.

“I think it is one of themost romantic love storiesof our time,” says Rodgers,appreciatively. “I also think itis an incredible depiction ofhuman nature and character.I think we can all relate tofirst impressions that werewrong.”

For this, her fourthtime directing for the ArtsClub, Rodgers has chosen adiverse cast – from ethnicityto age and experience – to fillthe play’s many roles.

“I have some terrific oldveterans in there,” she says,with excitement. “ScottBellis, and David Marr, andKatey Wright. I also havetheatre royalty with ShirleyBroderick,” she adds. “Andthen I have a student fromStudio 58; I have recentgrads from UBC and Studio58; I also have, just amongthe Bennet sisters, anAfrican-Canadian ‘Lydia’,a Filipino ‘Mary’, and our‘Georgiana’, Darcy’s sister, ishalf Japanese.”

“It was very importantto me,” Rodgers continues,“in presenting this beautifulproduction – this Englishpiece – in today’s world, tohave diverse casting.”

In more nods to moder-nity, Rodgers has also playedwith convention by incorpo-rating her love of conceptualdesign into Alison Green’s

set workup, while also add-ing some live music into themix.

The story itself, though,stays as its meant to be.

“It’s set in 1811 – it’s setright in Jane Austen’s timeperiod – and I’m honouringthe time period,” Rodgersaffirms. “I love the timeperiod. I love the costumes.The entire piece is about eti-quette and the class system,so you need to keep it in itstime period.”

It’s a style of productionthat Rodgers feels the ArtsClub – Western Canada’slargest theatre company – isnow uniquely positioned inVancouver to produce.

“With the closing of thePlayhouse (theatre companyin 2012), we really only haveBlackbird Theatre and theArts Club to bring us theclassics,” Rodgers explains.

“And also, with the suc-cess of such a fantastic largecompany, they’re able toproduce a classic produc-tion that has 17 actors init. How fortunate are we,in Vancouver,” she states.“We’re so blessed to have theArts Club, and as a director,this is a gift. To go to workevery day and work with 17professional actors, it’s reallyamazing. We’re all pinchingourselves and we’re all verythankful.”

Pride and Prejudice runsuntil Feb. 28 at the StanleyIndustrial Alliance Stage(2750 Granville). Ticketsfrom $29; ArtsClub.com.

LAS VEGAS — “Come forthe gambling, stay for thenuclear-bomb tests!”

That was never an officialLas Vegas ad slogan, but inthe 1950s it might as wellhave been. From 1951 to 1962there were 100 above groundtests of nuclear bombs at theNevada Test Site, 100 kilome-tres northwest of Las Vegas.Their mushroom cloudslit up the desert sky andcould easily be seen in thegambling capital. The dawndetonations especially werepopular with those who’dbeen in the casinos all night.

The story of the nuclear-bomb testing program at theNevada Test Site is told atthe National Atomic TestingMuseum in Las Vegas.Between 1951 and 1992,when a worldwide nuclear-testing ban went into effect,there were 928 radioactiveexplosions at the site. Morethan 800 were undergroundtests. These, even thoughthey couldn’t be seen, werefelt in Las Vegas.

“In spite of early attemptsto keep detonating timeshush-hush,” we learn, “theatmospheric tests quicklybecame must-see attractionsfor Las Vegas residents andvisitors alike.”

The tests were part of thearms race during the ColdWar with the Soviet Union.The Nevada site was chosenbecause it had large valleysand dry lakebeds in whichto conduct them, mountainbarriers to stop close-rangeobservation, and was rea-sonably remote from largepopulation centres.

The science behind thebombs that destroyed twoJapanese cities, Hiroshimaand Nagasaki, in 1945, bring-ing the Second World Warto an end, is explained in ashort film from the 1950sillustrating nuclear fission.A white-smocked scientistprimes a mousetrap and putsa small ball — representinga neutron — where the baitwould go. “Watch,” he says,and tosses his trap into aroom whose floor is carpetedby similarly cocked devices.His first trap snaps, eject-ing the “neutron,” whichbounces onto another trap,setting it off. In seconds theentire room is a white flurryof launched balls.

The museum also looksat how nuclear energy wasregarded by the Americanpublic in the 1950s and1960s. “Optimism flourishedabout harnessing atomic

power for many wonderfuluses,” we’re told. “Mushroomclouds appeared on souve-nirs and atomic cocktailsbecame popular drinks.” LasVegas started a Miss AtomBomb beauty pageant.

A display case showshow America’s fascinationwith the word “atomic” gottranslated into commercialuses. Besides an AtomicDisintegrator cap pistol andGilbert’s Atomic Energy Labchemistry set are less-obvi-ous product pairings, suchas salt-and-pepper shakersshaped like Fat Man (thebomb dropped on Nagasaki),Iguana Radioactive AtomicPepper Sauce, the LoneRanger Atomic Bomb Ring,mushroom-cloud paper-weights, an Atomic SewingKit and Christmas-tree orna-ments adorned with atomicsymbols.

One little-known detail inthe story of the nuclear-armsrace is that it nearly didn’thappen. The museum relatesthat in June 1946, “the UnitedStates unveiled a plan to theUnited Nations to establishcontrols, stop the spreadof nuclear weapons, andeliminate its own stockpile.The Soviet Union vetoed theproposal in early 1947.”

Russia got its first atomicbomb in 1949, and the racewas on.If you go:

London’s ImperialWarMuseumexpanding its take on FirstWorldWarALLANLYNCHMeridianWriters’Group

LONDON—To commemo-rate the 100th anniversaryof the First WorldWar(1914-1918), Britain andEurope will be awash inspecial events through2018.

In total, 1,000 organiza-tions in 28 countries will beinvolved. Among the lead orga-nizations is London’s ImperialWarMuseum (IWM), housedin the former Bethlem RoyalHospital for the treatmentof mental illness. Bethlemgave the world the concept

of “bedlam,” whichmakes it aperversely suitable location fora warmuseum.

To prep for the centennial,the IWM closed its LambertRoad location for a 13-month,CDN $80million renovation.When it reopened in July 2014it had nearly doubled thespace devoted to the FirstWorldWar— an additional 465squaremetres.

Other than the palladiumexterior, protected by 38-cen-timetre guns, the renewedfacility is barely recognizableto anyone who has previouslyvisited the IWM. There is, forexample, the new, soaring,

four-storey atrium in which ishung real weaponry— froma V-1 flying bomb to a Spitfireand a Harrier jet.

To the disappointment ofmany returnees the popular1940s house is gone, makingspace for a replica front-linetrench, Mark V tank andbiplane in the new First WorldWar galleries. WorldWar 1 wasthe first modern, mechanizedwar, and so lethal that theImperial WarMuseumwasopened in 1920 to remindpeople of the scale and tragedyof war. This was the war thatintroduced poison gas, aerialbombardment and submarineattacks. Lessons not learned,themuseum galleries coverall the subsequent conflictsBritain has been involved in,including theMiddle East, Iraqand Afghanistan.

The new First WorldWargalleries are impressive fortheir grittiness. Sensibilities bedamned, there is no romanceor heroism in these exhibits.Employing a clever marriage ofreal artifacts and technology,visitors witness the vulgar-ity of the battlefront and theindignity to combatants andcivilian populations. One staticdisplay is a life-size cluster ofcutout soldiers is brought tolife by projections of uni-formed soldiers racing acrossno-man’s land.

Away from the frontline,it’s striking howwar impactedthe homeland. Defence of the

Realm Acts governed every-thing from interfering withcarrier pigeons that may be inthe service of the Admiralty orspeaking in public about troopor naval movements to engag-ing in prohibited activities likesketching, photography andsetting off fireworks.

Other galleries deal withthe SecondWorldWar, theHolocaust, the ColdWar andthe on-going troubles in theMiddle East. Among themoreunusual exhibits are a bronzeeagle fromHitler’s ReichChancellery and Lawrence ofArabia’s agal (the head ropeworn as part of traditionalArabic dress).

Themuseummay have theword “imperial” in its name,but where its new galleriesfall down is in their dismis-sive treatment of the empirethat made England imperial.For both world wars, visi-tors learn about “Britain andher Empire,” but with littledetail about member nationsor the parts they played.Commonwealth citizensmightfeel shortchanged by the lackof recognition of their nations’contributions to the successfuloutcomes of both world wars.If you go:

Fr

composer named Susan Bottiand I think she was prettyimportant for me as an inspira-tion. She was a singer andshe was the first teacher thatI worked with there. I startedcollege at 17 and that wouldhave been pretty formativeas a female inspiration. It wasgood for me to meet her andbegin to learn about otherwomen.”

Finding her own footing asa musician Holter further stud-ied composition at CalArtsbefore joining Linda Perhacs’band in 2010 and collaborat-ing with Night Jewel (RamonaGonzalez) among others.

In Holter’s own workanything goes. “The writing isalways singular for me. I writeit alone. It’s not really one way.I hear melodies sometimesand sometimes I hear wordswith them and sometimesI make up words first.Sometimes I’m at the pianonotating some kind of figura-tion that my fingers are doing,other times I’m just playingchords and I write down thechords and words just kindof come out while I’m playingand then I elaborate them.On the last record I wouldjust play chords because itwas more of a traditional popform.”

Long an admirer of JoniMitchell, and particularly thealbum Court and Spark, in herlatest material Holter reachesa new level of emotional

immediacy and directnesswhile losing none of her poeticedge. Mitchell always tried tokeep a dialogue going betweenpop and poetics throughouther songs and that can alsobe heard on much ofWith Youin My Wilderness in trackssuch as “Lucette Stranded onthe Island” and “Sea Calls MeHome.”

Ramona Gonzalez’shusband Cole MarsdenGrief-Neill (a member of ArielPink’s Haunted Graffiti beforebecoming Beck’s engineer)mixed Holter’s album Ekstasisand co-produced Loud CitySong andWith You in MyWilderness.

While writing music is ameticulous, all-consuming pro-cess for Holter the results arebrought on demos into a stu-dio environment where theyreceive further treatment.

“Cole does things veryquickly but we still have tomix which usually meansarranging over and overagain,” she says. “All thevocals are recorded at home.It’s not fast in the end, it’s partof the composition process inthe way you’re working withnewmaterial and you can’tpredict a lot of things. He’sgood at making decisions andI’m not good at making deci-sions, so that’s very helpful.”

Holter completes a WestCoast tour in Vancouver atthe Cobalt on Feb. 4 beforeheading off for Europe to starta new round of shows in Parison Feb. 8.

When the Honda Civicfirst puttered ontoCanadian roads, it had theplace pretty much all toitself.

Cute as it may have been,that original Civic was thepointy end of a wedge, theharbinger of an invasion.

Forty years later, Hondawill sell you everythingfrom a lawnmower to a

streetfighter motorcycleto a passenger jet. And, asthey’re still most absolutely acar company, they’ll hap-pily sell you this, a compactcrossover.

If the Civic’s front-wheel-drive layout was relativelyinnovative (a fuel-sippingJapanese Mini? Great!),then the HR-V isn’t reallya standout. The compactcrossover market is arelatively cramped one,filled with everything from

the surprisingly good BuickEncore to the sporty littleMazda CX-3. Unlike the Civic,the HR-V’s got competition,and lots of it.

However, once we get tothe end of this sales year,you should probably expectthis newest Honda to haveequalled the success ofCanadian favourites like theAccord, the CR-V, and yes,the Civic. It’s a lot bigger thanthe first Hondas to hit ourshores, but the HR-V still has

some of that same magic.

Design“Compact crossover”

being a bit of a mouthful,many pundits choose to referto this new growing marketsegment as the “cute-ute”brigade. Thing is, the HR-Visn’t all that cute.

If the original Fit was abug-eyed wonder, and thatlong-ago Civic downrightadorable, the HR-V is some-what plain. It’s got a proud

H-badge out front, blackplastic fender surrounds, anda curvy roofline, but mostly,this is a very conservativeshape. Even anonymous.

Moving up a couple of trimlevels adds a little chromebrightwork to the HR-V’sexterior, and all models comewith 17-inch alloy wheels, butthe available colour paletteis a little bland. Frankly, thisis just Honda understanding

Honda still has a littlemagic

The compact crossover market is a cramped one, but the Honda HR-V should hold its own thanks to its positioning as a practical hatchback with good fueleconomy – in other words, a competent sibling of the very popular Civic. It is available at Pacific Honda in the Northshore Auto Mall. PHOTOMIKE WAKEFIELD

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

Light at the end of theturbo tunnel: the purist-friendly Porsche 911R

Want to buy a 911 turbo?Good news then, as prettymuch every new 911 is turn-ing to forced induction for the2017 model year. The baseCarrera? That’s a turbo. Theall-wheel-drive Carrera 4S?That’s a turbo. The slick Targamodel? You better believethat’s a turbo.

Turbocharging, for themost part, is a rather lovelything. You take a small engine,boost up the power for whenacceleration is needed, andimprove economy whenyou’re just cruising around.While the 911’s supposedto be a sports car first,it’s still also meant to be ado-everything car for those

who can afford one. The new3.0-litre turbocharged flat six

makes more peak power andtorque than the old naturallyaspirated engine, and whenpaired with the dual-clutch

PDK gearbox and all-wheeldrive, is essentially a year-round, all-weather companiongood for back roads or traffic

jams.For some people, however,

that’s too much emphasis onpracticality and not enoughfocus on the feel of the thing.Enter the 911R, a hardcoreversion of the 911 that’srumoured to be getting thenon-turbo engine out of thetrack-special GT3, exceptfitted with a (proper) manualtransmission. Also unlike theGT3, the 911R won’t havesome giant wing to give thegame away.

It sounds, frankly, like thebest current-generation 911yet. Turbos for most peopleis great, but thank goodnessPorsche still has room in itsportfolio for something forthe driver.

Seinfeld selling off rarePorsches

When it comes to Porscheenthusiasts, perhaps nobodyis as much of an air-cooledfan-boy as Jerry Seinfeld. He’sgot such a huge collectionthere are full-time employeesworking at keeping them all inrunning trim.

But even Jerry needs towhittle things down fromtime to time, and with thecurrent bullish prices onclassic Porsches these days,now’s a pretty good time tocash in. Up for sale is a 1955550 Spyder, estimated to beworth something like $6 mil-lion, a 1958 356 Carrera worth$2.5M, and a 1974 911 Carrera3.0 RSR worth a paltry millionor so.

Care to cause yourselfsome serious heart palpita-tions? Try converting thoseUnited States dollar prices

into Canadian money. Withthe loonie in the tank, import-ing any classic across theborder is suddenly cost-prohibitive, and as a result,special cars are starting tofunnel south.

Even if you can’t affordone of Jerry’s cars, it may stillbe possible to pick up a clas-sic car that’s a little less fancy.I hear Jon Voight’s ChryslerLeBaron convertible is stillout there somewhere.

Morgan to build hybrid,EV cars

British carmaker Morganmay be seen as the mosthidebound of manufactur-ers. Never let it be said thatMorgan doesn’t make ‘emlike they used to. Becausethey do. Up to and includingwooden frames.

However, even Morgan,bastion of classic buildingmethods and quintessentiallyBritish motoring experience,needs to move with the times.That’s why they’ve partneredwith two U.K. firms, DeltaMotorsport and PotenzaTechnologies. The trio hasjust gained a subsidy from theU.K. government – to buildelectric and hybrid cars.

Planned for a 2019 rollout,the electric Morgans willmarry futuristic powertrainswith a steampunk look. Butthen again, those framesare made of wood after all;perhaps a greener-runningMorgan just makes sense.

Pope’s 500L headed toauction

Pope Francis is a hum-ble man. He spurns the

traditional golden throne,he tries to dress simply, he’seven been known to drivea normal Ford hatchbackaround.

It was still a surprise tomost people, however, thathe chose the humble, homelyFiat 500L as the official car forhis visit to the United Stateslast year. There were two carsused, at least one of whichis now being auctioned off atthe end of this month.

As is fitting, the bulk ofthe proceeds will be going tocharity. No word on whetherthe vehicle comes with aspecial hat.

Jaguar planning range-topping SVR model

Like the V8-poweredF-Type, but itching for just alittle more fury? Here, kitty,kitty.

A recent leaked brochureseems to have – ahem – letthis latest cat out of the bag.While nothing official is outyet, the SVR version of theF-Type gets that same super-charged 5.0-litre V-8 and adds25 horsepower and 14 foot-pounds of torque for a total of567 h.p. and 516 foot-poundsof torque. Strong stuff indeed.

Optional carbon-ceramicbrakes for better stopping, atitanium exhaust, and a moreaggressive aero treatmentmake for one fierce Jaguar.Why pay millions for an oldPorsche?

HR-V gets same clever seats as Fittheir customers very well:the biggest criticism to belevelled at the HR-V is that itlooks like a smaller CR-V, andthat’s a good thing. It’s not somuch what Honda’s littlestcrossover looks like, as whatyou can do with it.

EnvironmentThe HR-V is underpinned

by the compact Fit platform,although both stretched andwidened. It’s 230 millimetreslonger and 70 mm wider thanthe Fit, and as a result haseven more space.

For anyone who’sexperienced the surprisingflexibility of Honda’s aptly-named subcompact, that’sa very good thing. The HR-Vgets the same clever foldingrear seats as the Fit, and atrunk space that swells from688 litres to 1,665 litres.The flip-up seat bottomsmake carrying taller objects

upright easy, and the lowload floor should find favourwith dog owners.

As interesting andsensible as the HR-V’s cargosolutions are, its infotainmentis something more of a mixedbag. Top-level cars comewith touchscreen controlsfor many functions, includingthe replacement of a volumeknob with a fiddly touch-slider instead. The entry-levelHR-V is actually the betteroption here as it has moreanalogue controls, butnavigation-equipped modelscan be frustrating.

Having said that, thelayout and material qual-ity of the HR-V does seema cut above the Fit, and notmuch of a downgrade fromthe larger CR-V. A little morein-cabin storage space wouldbe nice, but overall the HR-Vqualifies as very practical.

The HR-V could use a bit more in-cabin storage, but otherwise the interior layout and materials have a high-quality feel. Theentry-level model features old-school analogue controls but at least they are easy to use. PHOTOMIKE WAKEFIELD

Honda nails fuel economyPerformance

While overseas mar-kets make do with an HR-Vpowered by the same 1.5-litrefour-cylinder engine youfind in the Fit, Canadiancustomers get the stouter1.8-litre four-cylinder out ofthe Honda Civic. As we’vegot a tendency to load upour crossover with all sort ofgear (mountain bikes, kayaks,poutine, moose pelts), that’sprobably a good thing.

However, even with the

larger engine producing 141h.p. at 6,500 r.p.m., the HR-Vis no pocket rocket. You’ll seewhy when you glance at thetorque rating: just 127 foot-pounds at 4,300 r.p.m.

Add in a CVT, the onlytransmission option availablefor all-wheel-drive models,and acceleration can bepretty leisurely. However, theHR-V doesn’t feel slow, notexactly. Like all Hondas, themodest torque figure belies awillingness to zip up into thehigher end of the rev rangefor passing. It’s at least ade-quate to the task, and maybeeven zippy. Additionally,if you can live without theall-wheel-drive option, Hondawill still sell you a manualtransmission version, whichlivens things up a bit.

Thanks to a higher rideheight, the HR-V isn’t reallya corner-carver. Those whohave fond memories of theold double-wishbone suspen-sion you got in Civics of yorewon’t find much joy here.However, it is again perfectlyadequate to the task, andthe ride quality is very good.Road noise at speed is wellmuted for such a small car.

There are sportier optionsfor a cute-ute, but once againthe HR-V ticks those boxesthat might be of more use inthe real world: practicality,smoothness, and quiet.

FeaturesThe base LX HR-V might

be the pick of the litter,equipped as it is with allthe power options, heated

seats, USB connectivity, andthe easier-to-use analoguecontrols. Moving up the LXmodel nets you goodies likeHonda’s clever passenger-side blind-spot camera. Thetop-level EX-L Navi (as-tested,a little less than $30,000before freight), adds naviga-tion, leather seats, and driverassists like forward collisionwarning.

Fuel economy, generallya strength with Honda prod-ucts, is very good. Officialfigures rate 7.2 (litres/100kilometres) on the highwayfor CVT and AWD cars, and8.8 in the city. Even if you’vegot to rev the HR-V up fromtime to time, real-world econ-omy seems easily repeatable.

From page 42

See HR-V page 46The HR-V gets the same clever folding rear seats as the Fit,and the low load floor is great for dogs. PHOTOMIKE WAKEFIELD

Green lightFlexible, efficient cargo

Stop signVery reserved styling;

pricey top model; sedatehandling.

The checkered flagAn ultra-practical hatch-

back runabout with good fueleconomy – sound familiar?

CompetitionMazda CX-3 ($20,695)

Practicality might soothethe travails of the day-to-day,but sometimes you need alittle something to stir thesoul. Mazda’s CX-3 is justas efficient as the HR-V, buttrades a little of that cargo-hauling nature for a zippierride.

Consider it the spiritualancestor of the Protege5.While it’s neither as good atpeople- or stuff-hauling as theHonda, the Mazda is more funthan any front-wheel-drivecrossover has a right to be(and you can get it with all-wheel drive too).

[email protected]

The HR-V’s 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine has plenty of powerbut lacks a little zip due to low torque. PHOTOMIKE WAKEFIELD
