The City of NorthVancouver wants todrive home an importantmessage about climatechange.

OnMonday, councilunanimously approved

second and third readingof a business licence bylawamendment that will requireinformation labels aboutgreenhouse gas emissions tobe placed on all gas stationfuel pumps in the city.

The initiative stems froma June delegation led byWest Vancouver teenager

Emily Kelsall, a member ofOur Horizon, who imploredthe city to consider requiringgas stations to put warninglabels on fuel pumps.

Our Horizon is anon-prot environmentalorganization and theconcept of labelling gaspump nozzles was developedby its founder RobertShirkey, a Toronto lawyer.

When formally adopted,the bylaw, which must

still receive a fourth andnal reading on Monday,will be the rst of its kindin Canada and possiblyNorth America, with theCalifornian cities of Berkeleyand San Francisco believedto have draft bylaws stillbeing considered by councilbut not yet adopted, at thetime CNV staff wrote itsbylaw report.

The staff report on theproposed bylaw change

notes that the city has ahistory of progressive actiontowards addressing climatechange dating back to thelate 1990s and includesinitiatives like the LonsdaleEnergy Corporation and thecitys Carbon Fund.

While Our Horizonsuggested warning stylemessages with bold graphicsand facts, similar to cigarettemessaging, city stafffavours a more educational

approach with informationallabels about the linkbetween burning fossil fuelsand climate change whilealso highlighting can-doactions and choices availablefor people to reducegreenhouse gas emissions.

The staff report notesthat fear-based or negativecampaigns may work withsome people but can have

The cost of a seat onmunicipal council oughtto be cheaper in the 2018elections, as the provincehas moved to limitcampaign spending.

Community, Sport andCultural DevelopmentMinister Peter Fassbenderhas introduced legislationthat would limit how muchcandidates can spendbased on the size of themunicipalitys population.

Under the formula,mayoral challengers will belimited to $1 per capita forthe rst 15,000 populationand 55 cents per capita forthe next 15,000 to 150,000.For council candidates,

the limit is 50 cents percapita for the rst 15,000population and 28 cents forthe next 15,000 to 150,000population.

The spending limits applyto any costs incurred startingon Jan. 1 of election yearand the province will use thelatest population estimatesfrom BC Stats to determinethe exact allowable expensesin each campaign.

Had these limits beenin place for the 2014municipal elections, a swathof candidates on the NorthShore would have overspentthe limit in some cases by afactor of three.

The City of NorthVancouver will likely seethe most drastic changesunder the new system.

Using 2014s estimatedpopulation of the Cityof North Vancouver of52,346, mayoral candidateswould have been limitedto $35,540.30 and councilcandidates, $17,956.88.

Mayor Darrell Mussattos2014 election expenses camein at $96,702.41 while hiscompetitor Kerry Morrisspent $79,226.52.

Two of the ve councilmembers will also haveto strategize for cheapercampaigns if they plan torun again in 2015, includingCoun. Craig Keatingwho topped spending at$28,911.19 and Coun.Linda Buchanan who camein at $27,592.07.

The District of WestVancouvers limits,meanwhile, would fallsomewhere around$29,915.45 for mayoralcandidates and $15,093.32for council candidates, using

the 2014 population of42,119.

Mayor Michael Smithwould be well under thatlimit with his $0 campaignbudget but council veteransMary-Ann Booth andMichael Lewis would haveto rein in their spending,which came in at $22,357.90and $15,853.14 respectively.

In the District ofNorth Vancouver, witha population of 86,623,2014 mayoral candidateswould have been limited to$54,392.65 and would-becouncillors, $27,554.44.District Mayor RichardWalton ran unopposed andspent only $2,877.01. Theonly council member whowould have breached thelimit is Jim Hanson whospent $28,307.58.

The changes arewelcomed by DermodTravis, executive directorof Integrity BC a non-

prot that lobbies tomake government moretransparent and accountable.

By and large, theyve hita limit that is fair, that allowsany perspective candidateto say I can be competitivein this race, Travis said.What weve had before,without limits, is a situationwhere many candidates willsimply opt out because thereare no limits and they knowtheyre going to be outspent,in some cases, by 10 to one.

These limits put B.C.somewhere in the middle ofthe pack for spending limits,across Canada. Still, Travisand Integrity BC have plentyof criticism for what theprovince has failed to includein legislation limits on thesize of campaign donationsand an outright ban on cor-porate and union donations.

When you look atthe situation in B.C., youstill see companies that

are contributing tens ofthousands or hundredsof thousands of dollars,in some cases to politicalcandidates who are runningfor local ofce companiesthat also have business infront of many of those localcouncils. You see it in NorthVancouver, he said.

Whether that amountsto a real conict of interestor not, it contributes to thegrowing cynicism the publichas around politics, Travissaid, and it gives undueinuence on the outcome ofelections.

I think we have to getbig money out of politicsaltogether whether its at thelocal or provincial level, hesaid.

TheMinistry ofCommunity, Sport andCultural Development isaccepting public commenton the proposed legislationuntil Nov. 27.

New legislation ties spendinglimits to size of municipality

Province to rein in civic campaign spending

Its kind of a weirdone, said Const. JeffWood. Denitely, wedcharacterize this one asrandom. It wasnt targeted.

West Vancouver ofcersnabbed one of the suspects,a 17-year-old former NorthVancouver resident, a shortdistance away. He was heldin custody and scheduled tomake his rst appearance incourt on robbery charges onThursday morning. Policesay he has not been co-oper-ating with investigators andhe is not known to police.

The victim was taken toLions Gate Hospital to betreated for head injuries andhas since been released.

Police are hoping a tipfrom the public can helplead them to the secondsuspect, who they describe asa white male in his 30s whowas wearing a beige hat andbeige jacket.

On Thursday, policewere out canvassing theneighbourhood looking foranyone who might have seenanything suspicious. Thereare still other people downthere that witnessed theevent, Wood said. Duringthe day, its busy.

Anyone with informationabout the assault and rob-bery or the second suspectis asked to contact WestVancouver Police at 604-925-7315.

It was a dark and stormynight.

Particularly if you wereon of the 23,000 NorthShore residents wholost power in Tuesdays90-kilometre per hour gustsof wind.

Around 5:30 p.m.,several explosions couldbe seen lighting up theNorth Shore sky aboveBC Hydros Capilanosubstation.

A tree came downon top of one of ourtransmission structures.It knocked the top of thatstructure off and damagedthree transmission lines thatwere attached to it, saidHydro spokeswoman MoraScott. Crews had to xthose three lines as well asmake repairs to the structurebefore they could get thecustomers back on.

That took about 24hours. By 5 p.m. onWednesday, only 600properties remained in thedark.

Scott said the utilityspends $50 million peryear on managing treesand brush that threatenpowerlines.

We try to trim all treesand get rid of any diseasedor dead trees, but evensometimes healthy trees,depending on the directionof the wind and type of theweather, they can comedown on our lines.

At the storms peak morethan 110,000 customers inB.C. were without power.

The outage closed morethan a dozen elementaryand secondary schools inNorth Vancouver for theday.

Before the winds evenkicked up, heavy rain fromthe previous days was doingsome damage on the NorthShore. The District of WestVancouver has closed off thepopular Millstream Trail onHollyburn Mountain aftera substantial landslide nearMcDonald Creek.

Its quite a big slide,said Jeff McDonald, districtspokesman. Bigger thanthe one we had last year onthe Trans Canada trail.

Staff are now lookinginto how to remediatethe trail, along with thelandowner, British PacicProperties. There is notimeline for when thetrail may be reopened,McDonald said.

the opposite effect withothers, triggering reactionsof denial, minimizing oravoidance.

It is thus important todeploy labels that will beeffective not only in raisingawareness but in motivatingindividual action (specicbehaviour changes) thatresult in lower greenhousegas emissions.

Some sample messagesfrom staff included: Savefuel through properlyinating your tires; Idlingyour vehicle for more than10 seconds wastes moregas than restarting yourengine; Burning fossil fuelcontributes to climatechange; 49% of GHGemissions in the City ofNorth Vancouver are fromtransportation.

Staff reported that thelabels will come in two sizes:a 3-inch square nozzletopper and a 4x5-inchsticker to put on gas pumps.

If the bylaw is passedstaff will then return tocouncil with proposedmessaging for the pumpsfor approval. The messageswould likely evolve over timeand be tested with focus

groups. City staff contactedall gas station owners in thecity to discuss the initiativebut received no response.

During the public inputportion of the discussionon fuel pump labels,a representative fromWestern ConvenienceStores Association directedcouncils attention toinformation on enhancingfuel efciency available at

the website smartfuelling.ca. Some council membersexpressed interest in the tipsand suggested some couldpotentially be incorporatedwith the messaging. Someexamples from the websiteinclude: maintainingtire pressure, sheddingunnecessary cargo andremoving roof and bicycleracks when not in use.

I do see the education

and awareness as a criticalstep and the labels as away to remind and reallyestablish the link to theconsumer of the cause ofclimate change and theeffect that burning fossilfuels has on that, saidCoun. Linda Buchanan.

In terms of theappropriate messagingon the pumps, Buchananadded, I dont want it to

be so watered down that themessage gets lost. Directlyestablish the link betweenburning fossil fuels andclimate change.

Coun. Craig Keatingsupported the proposal andstaffs proposed approachfor the gas pump labels.

I think our staff havecome up with a great setof ideas about the kind ofpositive messaging that weneed to put on there and Ithink we need to build onwhats included in the staffreport about the kind ofpositive messaging we have,he said.

I have no problemgoing further down the roadshowing leadership on thisissue here with a messagethat provides people withsome practical alternativesand some things that theycan take a look at that weare building on within ourcommunity. I dont think

we need to lecture to peopleand be paternalistic aboutwhat climate change is andthe role of fossil fuels inclimate change. People getit and want to do the rightthing.

Coun. Rod Clark notedthat hes received a torrentof emails congratulatingthe city on its leadershipon the gas pump labels buthe said the credit belongselsewhere. We are sayingyes to something that camein front of this council. So Ibelieve the credit should goto the three people in frontof us, the people at OurHorizons, especially Emilybecause she brought it tous. And if theres leadershipbeing shown its because youshowed us the way, saidClark.

Staff estimates the initialcost of the gas pump labelinitiative will be $5,000 orless.

Positivemessaging considered for labels

Id say Justin Trudeaufell from the honeymoonbed.

Possibly a matter ofcoitus interruptus in hispost-election love affair withan adulating public andmedia. The CBCmust beheartbroken. EvenMotherCorps loyal radio arm notedTrudeaus awkward pausesanswering questions at theG20 meeting in Turkey soonafter the terrorist attacks inParis. (Will CBC newspeaknow stop describingterrorists murderinginnocents as militants?)

Truly, I sympathizedfrom afar with Trudeau.Howmany people would becomposed, fast on their feet,quick with their tongues,under such pressure? Even,or especially, a 43-year-oldbrand-new prime minister?Hes just not ready.

Who would be? Stiethat man at the back of theroommuttering, Where isStephen Harper, now that

we really need him?Trudeaus fall from

the honeymoon bed causedthree bounces:

One, in the absurdauction or was it poker? in which TomMulcairout-Canadianized Harperspromise to admit 10,000Syrian refugees over threeyears: Ill admit 10,000immediately! followedby Trudeaus Ill admit25,000, by the end of theyear!

Sheer logistics madefullment of this campaignvow highly unlikely. TheParis attacks made itapproach cuckoo-landterritory.

If letters to the editoraccurately reect quickpublic reaction, Canadiansabruptly woke up to theconsequences that Ottawa,posturing about Canadasfamous compassion andgenerosity before aninternational audiencethat barely notes or careswhat we do, would bedumping on the unpreparedprovinces and cash-strappedmunicipalities. You know taxpayers.

Premier Christy Clarkssuggestion that B.C.snortheast could acceptthe Syrians suddenlydiscovered as mainlyMuslims, even a very few ofthem terrorists? triggeredan immediate hostile petitionfrom the economicallypressed people who merely

live there already. Letsnot speak of the refugeescultural shock. Saturdaynight in Fort St. John couldbe alarming.

Two: When Paris wasstruck, Trudeaus promiseto withdraw our (six)Canadian planes strikingISIS targets in Syria, infavour of increasing ourpresent (69) military adviserson the ground trainingsoldiers, looked untimelyat best. But he stands by it.The shock of the attacks which are nothing comparedto Frances leftist uprisingin 1968 will wear off (inMonday mornings GlobeandMail three businessreporters predicted marketscollapsing; in fact Torontoand New York roared aheadmore than 200 points).

Three: How now,Trudeaus ambiguoussupport for, and promise toamend when in government,Bill C-51, the evil, uncaringHarpers law to tighten the

screws on real and aspiringterrorists? Well, the lawyersabsolutely love ambiguity,and the immigration lawyersadore defending bad applescommitted to destroyingour vaunted, and, to ratchetmy scepticism down anotch, deservedly protectedWestern values.

Chief Justice BeverleyMcLachlin and theSupremes, who so obviouslydetested Harper and Harperlaw, may look more kindlyon Trudeaus tweakingof C-51. What the greatunwashed are feeling, post-Paris, though of courseignorable by the high-minded liberal elites, may bedifferent.

Speaking as one whocould use a shave and aclean-up myself: I delight ingloomy, gasbag-puncturingwisdom, and here is atimely shard of it, in light ofFrench President FrancoisHollandes declaration thatFrance is at war against ISIS:

National Post columnistGeorge Jonas, a HungarianJew aged 80 who livedthrough Europes horrors,has written that war is foughtnot to make the world abetter place, but to keep itfrom becoming a worse one.A late Remembrance Daythought. Think it. Canadiansmay need it in days to come.

A contrarian footnote

to the above: Last JanuarysCharlie Hebdo affair, abackdrop to last weeksattacks, is surrounded byhysterical champions offree speech few knowinganything about the magazineissue and its cartoon thatcaused death and chaos.

Tariq Ali, a big 1960sradical, wrote a sombrecorrective in the leftistLondon Review of Books:Henri Roussel, founderof Charlie Hebdospredecessor, denounced

GlobalwarningC ity of North Vancouver councilmade headlines around the countrythis week when it became the rstmunicipality in Canada to mandate climatechange warning labels on gas pumps much like the ones that have emblazonedcigarette packages for decades.The reaction on social media, and the

fountainheads of knowledge that areinternet comment sections, was swift andmostly harsh.What clowns these West Coasters are.

Instead of actually doing something aboutclimate change, theyre just sending us allon a guilt trip.Though it irks a great many, the city

has consciously put together an ofcialcommunity plan that will mean fewerpeople having to get into a vehicle in orderto get to work, the store or soccer pitch.The warning labels will be a reminder

that we very much are in the drivers seat

of climate change. About a quarter ofCanadas greenhouse gas emissions comefrom our transportation sector. Thatssecond only to the production of oil andgas.If you look at the lineup of vehicles on

the Cut or Lions Gate Bridge on-ramps,youd get the idea that people are allergicto carpooling. An astounding number ofthose vehicles are SUVs with eight-cylinderengines idling away. When given theopportunity to invest in our transit systemthis spring, 60 per cent of us said no.These are choices we make and choices

have consequences, like putting speciesat risk, raising sea levels and more violentstorms, like ones were still cleaning upfrom.And more than rubbing our noses in it,

these labels will offer constructive ideason how we can actually reduce our carbonoutput.

DONPETERScontributing writer

The Community HousingAction Committeeextends its congratulationsto our newmembersof Parliament on theirelectionMonday, Oct.19, and for achieving amajority government. Asmany have pointed out,the new government facesmany challenges.

Indeed, there are many inCanada who now hope forlong-needed improvementsin the ways we look afterour most vulnerable citizens especially the provisionof housing that people canafford.

The CommunityHousing Action Committeehas for some 10 yearsprovided importantaffordable housinginformation and advocacyto our local MLAs,municipal councils, socialand city planners, as wellas to residents in our NorthShore communities. CHACis comprised of about 15community members including many volunteers who are well-informed. Weare dedicated to supportingthe housing goals of thethree municipalities andtheir ofcial communityplans. We frequentlyappear before our councilsto support communitydevelopment and promoteimprovements to housingopportunities for seniors,persons with disabilities,

our youth, those who arehomeless and in need oftransitional housing.

Sadly, it is no secret thatthere are many thousands ofCanadians who are poorlyhoused, homeless, or atimminent risk of facing lifeon the street or in shelters an intolerable situation fora nation such as ours, as weare certain you agree.

Further, the severereduction in rental housingavailability, combined withstagnating or decliningincomes, benet reductionsand other economicchanges, mean increasingnumbers of Canadiansare spending a growingpercentage of their incomeon housing. Today, thereare an estimated 380,000households living in severehousing need - which isdened as living in poverty,and spending more than 50per cent of their householdincome on rental housing.

And, one-half of seniorswho rent, now live inhousing that swallowsup more than a third oftheir before tax income -representing some 229,205households.

Here, in your three NorthShore municipalities, thisnational housing crisis issadly only too evident. Fourdistinct population groupsare most at risk:! young adults,

! people who work on theNorth Shore,! people who want to agehere, in our communities,and! those who are homelessand at risk.

As we know, rents areincreasing, vacancies growfewer, waiting lists arelonger, and shelters are full.Now it is common to seeadults and children at foodbanks. Local governmentsare addressing the housingcrisis on the ground,exploring solutions anddelivering programs wherethey can, but we need thefederal government to

again play a major role inaddressing housing. As aresult of housing policychanges over the past threedecades, Canadas housingsystem is more reliant on theprivate sector than any otherwestern nation, includingthe United States.

Humphrey Carver,an architect, communityplanner and key ofcialat CMHC between 1948and 1967, dened theultimate objective of nationalhousing policy back in the1930s as the provision ofa decent dwelling for everyCanadian and the ultimatetest of the effectivenessof our housing policy asthe condition of the worsthoused families in ourcommunities. Now, in

2015, the ultimate housingproblem in Canada andhere on the North Shoreitself, is the seriouslyinadequate supply of decent,low rent housing - despitethe apparent rise of thepermanent renter. In therecent Canadian RentalHousing Index both WestVancouvers and the City ofNorth Vancouvers overallrental rating is critical,while the District of NorthVancouvers overall rating issevere.

Simply put: we needmore affordable housingon the North Shore. Muchmore.

There is a great needfor social housing but thosehouseholds most in needlack the income to generate

effective market demand.Public policy decisionssince the mid-1980s haveexacerbated the problemand have failed to respond toseveral harmful trends. Now,as Canada contemplates aninux of refugees we wonderjust where we will ndappropriate, not-to-mentionaffordable, housing for theseneedy people.

We look forward toworking with our newfederal government todeliver on its campaignpromise and invest again ina new affordable nationalhousing program forCanadians.

Don Peters is chairman of theCommunity Housing ActionCommittee.

Pedestrian struck, policeurge caution inwinters [email protected]

A man was struck in amarked North Vancouvercrosswalk Wednesdayevening, just as policeon the North Shorelaunched a campaignaimed at keepingpedestrians safe duringwinter months.

The accident happenedas a 27-year-old NorthVancouver driver wasturning left at theintersection of ChestereldAvenue and West SecondStreet and failed to noticea 57-year-old man whowas walking across thecross walk.

The pedestrian wastaken to hospital aftersuffering a dislocatedshoulder and knee in theaccident. The driver washanded a $167 ticket.

This month, police arereminding both driversand pedestrians that whenthe sun goes down, therisks go up.

West Vancouver Police,the RCMP and ICBC aremaking another push toincrease pedestrian safetyin hopes of warding offsome of the injuries andfatalities that spike in the

winter months.Running all the

stats on this, you wouldbe shocked, saidWest Vancouver PoliceDepartment spokesmanConst. Jeff Wood.

On average, 33pedestrians are killedper year in the LowerMainland and there are1,700 injured. Pedestriansmake up one in ve of thefatalities involving motorvehicles, and the mostdangerous months are inthe winter as the sun setsearly and nasty weathersets in.

The advice forpedestrians ought tobe well known, but itbears repeating giventhe number of incidents,Wood said.

Do your part and beseen by drivers. Simplethings make eye contact,wear bright, reectiveclothing and stay focusedon the road, he said.

Remove yourheadphones and leave yourphone alone while yourecrossing the road. Beforeyou start to cross, look leftand right and make suretheres no trafc.

For those who maynot have bright, reective

clothing on hand whentheyre out and about,police have been handingout yellow reectors thatpedestrians can easily hangfrom their winter jackets.

But, safety is (punintended) a two-waystreet.

Its two-fold. It hasto be on the part of thepedestrian and it has to beon the part of the driversas well, Wood said.

When youre driving,take extra time to look forpedestrians and beforeturning, avoid distractionsand be ready to yield.

On Oct. 21 this year,a North Vancouver teenwas sent to the intensivecare unit with serious headinjuries after police say shewalked into an intersectionwhile looking at herphone.

In July, a 72-year-oldWest Vancouver womandied after being struck byan SUV while crossing thestreet in Ambleside.

Last fall, a 13-year-old girl was rushed tohospital with serious headinjuries after being hit bytwo cars after she dartedout between two parkedcars near Lonsdale andChestereld.

Can Canada realistically welcome 25,000 Syrian refugees by years end?INQUIRINGREPORTER

Minoo GoliNorth Vancouver

Yes, we should. Theyneed our help. I know theirsituation because I was inIran when Iraq bombed mycountry.

Shahin RostamiradNorth Vancouver

If Europe can acceptmore than 10,000 then Ithink Canada can do it as well. . . if they make sure theirbackgrounds are checkedproperly before entry.

Taylor CahillNorth Vancouver

Theres plenty of space inCanada to receive that numberof people and theres plenty ofresources to support them.

The federal governmentsplan to resettle 25,000Syrian refugees in variousCanadian cities by theend of December hassome politicians andcitizens questioning theshort intake timeline andpossible threats to security,especially following theattacks in Paris last week.We hit the streets of theNorth Shore to ask localresidents this question:Can Canada realisticallywelcome 25,000 Syrianrefugees by the end ofthe year? Tell us what youthink. Weigh in at nsnews.com.

While on tour, silkysmooth jazz vocalistElizabeth Shepherd hasjourneyed across NorthAmerica, Europe, Japanand Mexico. That canmean, as she noted onTwitter, one day wakingup in a hotel room witha view of the goldenbeaches of PuertoVallarta and then a fewdays later looking out onthe pristine, snow-cappedmountains in B.C.

Sounds pretty cool,right? Well, touring canalso be a grind. Speakingfrom Nelson, B.C., a fewhours before her show, sheexplains that shes beenon the road for two weeks.Prior to that she was homefor 10 days. The rest of thismonth will be spent mostlyon the road.

There are parts of itI really enjoy. Ive beenhaving the good fortuneof playing with a lot ofdifferent musicians and adifferent band in Mexico,a different band that Iveused also on this tour (ofBritish Columbia) andtwo different bands for therecent Quebec tour, shesays. So that is inspiringjust to hear these songsbeing done in a new way.

She says touring isntglamorous and the bestpart by far each night isplaying. You know otherthan that its kind of hard.

FILM

Still plenty of fight inHungerGames! The Hunger Games:Mockingjay, Part 2.Directed by FrancisLawrence. StarringJennifer Lawrence.Rating: 7 (out 10)

JULIE CRAWFORDContributing Writer

Many young adults likenthe nale of HungerGames to the HarryPotter series: theyvespent the past few yearswatching Katniss dobattle in an unkindworld, not unlike theirteen selves.

But the ending of themovie franchise, whilefaithful to SuzanneCollins books, is unlikelyto elicit many tears andtributes from fans.

I blame JenniferLawrence. She is so strongas Katniss, the girl whotook her sisters placein the Games, and whooutsmarted the game-makers and the politicians,that her male co-stars arefeeble in comparison. Thisis problematic, since theaction outside of the arenahinges on a love trianglethe audience doesnt muchcare for.

If youve been hidingunder a rock, dont botherseeing Mockingjay untilyou are caught up withthe other Hunger Gameslms, which shed lighton a future world whererebellion among districtsis quelled by imposing a

mandatory ght-to-the-death among teens in ahigh-tech arena.

Our heroine KatnissEverdeen (JenniferLawrence) has survived thegames not once but twice,and has incited a rebellionagainst a gluttonous

Capitol that leeches itsdistricts dry under thecommand of PresidentSnow (Donald Sutherland,deliciously evil).

When we left off inpart one, Peeta (JoshHutcherson) had beenrecently recovered

from the Capitol wherehe was tortured withtracker-jacker venom andbrainwashed to believe thatKatniss was the enemy.Thus the purple hand-marks around Katnissneck, and Peeta in round-the-clock restraints.

I dont stand achance if he doesnt getbetter, notes Gale (LiamHemsworth), the other tipin the love triangle, youllnever let him go.

Gale has been rising

Liam Hemsworth, Sam Claflin, Evan Ross, and Jennifer Lawrence get ready for battle in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay,Part 2, the final installment of the adventure series based on the novels of Suzanne Collins. PHOTO SUPPLIED EONE FILMS

Productionexploresthemeaningof faith

! Agnes of God by JohnPielmeier, presentedby Alchemy Theatre,Nov. 19-29 (Thursday-Saturday at 8 p.m., andSunday matinees at 2p.m.), at VancouversPAL Studio Theatre.Tickets ($20/$18), info:alchemytheatre.ca.

[email protected]

North Shore nativeAnnie Arbuckle is joiningAlchemy Theatre inkicking off its 2015-2016season by lling the titlerole in Agnes of God, athought-provoking storyabout faith, love andmiracles that openedlast night at VancouversPAL Studio Theatre.

First introduced to theplay as a theatre student,the actor feels, very

fortunate to be able toexplore the play in suchdepth, as part of thecurrent production.

After being castin a role, a period ofexcitement, nerves andintrigue is often quickto follow. Its excitingto see what becomes ofthe play as it moves fromthe script to the stage. Inthis case, Agnes of Godsintense subject matter onlyheightened her experience,says Arbuckle.

Alchemy describesthe plot as follows:Summoned to a convent,Dr. Martha Livingstone,a court-appointedpsychiatrist, is chargedwith assessing the sanityof Agnes, a novice nunaccused of murdering hernewborn child. Furtherarousing Dr. Livingstonessuspicion, Mother Superior

Miriam Ruth tries to keepher young charge awayfrom the doctors pointedquestions. In trying to ndout who killed the infantas well as attempting toidentify the father of thetiny victim, Livingstoneforces all three women tore-examine the meaningof faith, the power of love,and the authenticity ofmiracles.

Playing the role ofAgnes represented a newlevel of challenge forArbuckle as an actor.

I think with anyrole you have to start bynding the humanity in thecharacter. I think it can bea very risky thing to judgeyour character before youreally learn who they are,she says.

While Arbuckle has verydifferent life experiencethan her character, it didnttake her long to nd somecommon ground.

Trioworking together inAgnes of Godand is a very fragile humanbeing. But shes always ona quest to nd out moreinformation. She was keptat home her entire life soeducation wasnt readilyavailable to her. Shes avery self-aware person Ind and she just wants toknow more and I think wecan all relate to that in asense - wanting to knowthe unknown, she says.

Joining Arbuckleon stage is TiffanyMarkwart in the role ofDr. Livingstone and PaulaSpurr as Mother Superior.This is the rst time shesworked with either ofthem.

Theyre fabulousactors. They each bringa very special qualityto this play and to theircharacters, says Arbuckle.

Weve really cometogether and becomea family. Its not onepersons responsibility tomake this play a success.I think we all realize thatits a communal effortabsolutely and its beenreally great working with

them, she adds.Agnes of God, written in

1982 by John Pielmeier, isintended to transcend theboundaries of religion andappeal to those who areboth religious and not.

I think that audiencesshould come with an openmind to this play. I hopethey will take away from itthat not everything is as itseems. And although thisisnt a play about religion,its a play about faith andthat doesnt really meanfaith in a religion per se butfaith in yourself and faith inother human beings. I justhope they come and learnsomething maybe aboutthemselves or about theworld, says Arbuckle.

Other themes exploredinclude childhood abuse,innocence, fertility, bodyimage issues and lack ofcontrol over ones ownbody.

Arbuckle, who, inaddition to acting, worksat a North Shore child carecentre, grew up in WestVancouver and graduatedfrom Rockridge secondary.She started doingcommunity theatre as a

child and after high schoolwent on to study theatreat the post-secondary levelin Los Angeles, Calif.,at the American Musicaland Dramatic Academywhere she received abachelor of ne arts.Since moving back to theLower Mainland she hasbeen continuing to pursueacting. For example, shewas cast in Classic Chicsproduction of William

Shakespeares The WintersTale at the PAL StudioTheatre in summer2014. She also recentlyunderwent continuingstudies with an Arts ClubActors Intensive.

I think theres a realneed in me to have acreative outlet and Ivefound something that Ireally love to do. Whetheror not it pays the bills,its something that I feel

that I have to do to feelcomplete, she says.

This is her rst AlchemyTheatre production andshe has high hopes for thecompanys future. Alchemyis a non-prot organizationformed in 2014 dedicatedto producing alternativetheatrical works as wellas old classics with a newspin.

I really hope that thisplay gets the name of

Alchemy out there andkickstarts them becausethey are a group of veryhard-working individuals.Its not an easy thing tostart a theatre companyand it takes a lot of mindsand hands and I just reallyhope that this gets theword out there so thatpeople will come and seemany more wonderfulproductions to come fromAlchemy, says Arbuckle.
