Attention online scam art-ists: the mark respondingto your “great investmentoffer” may be the chief ofpolice.
Like a fishermanwith timeon his hands and a bite on thehook,West Vancouver PoliceDepartment Chief Len Goerke
playedwith an online scamartist recently over a seriesof increasingly preposterousemails.
After a would-be fraudsterpurporting to represent aRussian investor willing tosink $50million into Goerke’scompany recently emailed him,the police chief decided click-ing the spambuttonwould betoo easy.
“I get lots of these kind ofemails,” Goerke said, explainingtheir abundance is evidencethey’re likely working.
Writing under the nameWilliamT.F. Amor Decosmos,Goerke replied that after yearsof watching others have allthe luck raisingmoney, hewas“overjoyed that it is FINALLYmy turn.”
The second email assured
Goerke – who hadn’t asked –that “we are not involved interrorist act,” before requestinghis name, address and invest-ment plan, alongwith a “policeclearance letter.”
By the fourth email Goerkewasmasquerading as a retireewith a dream to build a combi-nation curling rink/donut shop.“Nobody sells donuts aroundhere andmany people love

A North Shore paramedicwho has attended numer-ous serious collisions onthe Sea to Sky Highway isattempting to resuscitatea campaign to increasesafety on a troubledstretch of the highway.
Tyson Lehmann wason scene onMay 4 when aVancouver man was killed onthe highway near BrunswickBeach Road just north of LionsBay. Police say the victim’sblack Mercedes crossed intothe oncoming lane and wasstruck by a southbound SUV.
“Over and over again,that’s where the accidentshappen,” Lehmann said.
The accident closed thehighway in both directionsfor hours. Although he’s beencalled to many collisionsthere, Lehmann is pursuingthe matter as a private citizen.
The May 4 collisionwouldn’t have been socatastrophic had there beena proper barrier instead of
a median of trees plantedbetween the northbound andsouthbound lanes, Lehmannsaid.
“I’d like to see the decora-tive barriers disappear andactually put a concrete dividerin on all these corners whereaccidents have happenedalong the Sea to Sky corridor,”he said.
It will only becomemoreimportant as Squamish growsand becomes a commutertown for Vancouver workers,Lehmann added.
Lehmann has beenrecirculating an online peti-tion started in 2015 byWestVancouver resident DavidTompkins. The petition gainssignatures every time there is
a serious collision on the Seato Sky. It is now has almost3,100 supporters.
West Vancouver-Sea toSky MLA Jordan Sturdy saidhe would support replacingthe trees with a barricade –but that design decision wasmade at the behest of LionsBay council before the 2010Olympics.
“That was their require-ment, their demandessentially, to allow us towiden and upgrade the high-way,” he said. “We’ve been indiscussions with Lions Bayabout this. There’s no realobjection to removing (thetrees) fromwhat I understand,and putting in a concretemedian but it would take
the agreement of Lions Bay,essentially.”
Though safety is theprimary concern, lengthyhighway closures are alsoan issue, something Sturdy’sconstituents remind him ofwhen the highway is blockedfor hours at a time.
“It has an enormous,enormous economic impacton the whole corridor,” hesaid. “The general thought is,as time goes on, those treesare just going to get moreproblematic.”
Lions BayMayor Karl Buhrwas out of the country andunavailable to comment butthe village’s chief adminis-trative officer Peter DeJongissued a statement.
“Village of Lions Bay coun-cil is very concerned aboutlife safety issues regardingHighway 99 through LionsBay. While the safety of thehighway, including configura-tion, signage and policing,is beyond the jurisdiction ofthe village, the municipalityis working with the Ministryof Transportation andInfrastructure to find effectivesolutions to increase safetyand prevent further loss oflife,” it read.
Between 2009 and 2014, thefour-kilometre section at LionsBay had 91 collisions, with34 involving injuries, and onefatal incident, according tothe province. Those numbersdon’t meet the province’sdefinition of a “high collision”corridor, according to theministry.
Driver error, like excessivespeed and inattention, werethe cause in 64 per cent ofaccidents. About 36 per centwere due to other factors likeroad conditions, dodging wild-life, illness or impairment.
“The current plantedmedian area with curbing isdesigned for the safety of thetravelling public at the postedspeeds,” read a statementfrom the ministry, adding theprovince is currently discuss-ing further options to improvesafety on the highway.
Death and taxes may becertain, but that doesn’tmean you shouldn’t try topostpone them.
Many cash-strappedparents pay property taxesthey can’t afford because theydon’t know about a provin-cial program allowing youngfamilies to defer those annualbills, according to City ofNorth Vancouver Coun. LindaBuchanan.
City council voted unani-mously Monday to publicizethe oft-neglected Familieswith Children Tax Defermentprogram. Homeowners whosupport children or studentsare eligible for the deferment,which comes with 2.7 per centinterest.
The family program allowsB.C. residents to put off partor all of their property taxeson their principal residence solong as they have a 15 per centequity of the house’s assessedvalue and aren’t in arrears onproperty taxes or municipalutilities bills.
With property values risingandmany young families finan-cially stretched, Buchanancalled on the city to make theprogram better known.
The city is planning toinclude information about thedeferment programwith thisyear’s tax notices and promotethe option via the city’s web-site and e-newsletter.
While Buchanan was keento let homeowners knowabout the deferment, she alsosuggested the provincial gov-ernment consider droppingthe interest rate. While youngfamilies pay 2.7 per cent inter-est on their deferred tax bill,homeowners 55 and older payonly 0.7 per cent.
“I think it would be wise toat least look at families beingcharged at the same rate asthe 55-plus program,” she said.
Parents who don’t livewith their children but paychild support and parents ofchildren with disabilities mayalso be eligible.
Homeowners need tocarry fire insurance to get thedeferment.
Houses on First Nationsland as well as homes reg-istered under a business orestate are ineligible.

AWest Vancouver retireeand two contractors havereceived commendationsfrom theWest VancouverPolice Department’s chiefconstable for their role insaving the life of a badlyinjured woman.
YuanWang was workingin his garden onMay 6, 2015,when a woman driving a mini-van down his steep PiccadillySouth driveway lost control.She hit a retaining wall and thevan rolled onto its side, pin-ning her arm underneath.
“There was a big banging,several times, and crying,”Wang said. “I rushed overthere. Then I saw her car wasthere on a 90-degree angle onthe driver’s side. It just skid-ded down there… I saw theblood running over the stones.I didn’t knowwhat to do.”
Father and son contract-ing teamMichael and CharlesFrass, who were working nextdoor, heard the commotionand hopped the fence. Thethree tried to muscle the
minivan up onto its wheels ontheir own but had no luck.
“Remember seeing in themovies that in extreme circum-stances, you get super-humanstrength and you can lift it? Itdoesn’t work,” Charles said.
Thankfully, Wang happenedto be keeping a forklift in hisgarage at the time. He usedit to lift the van up off thewoman’s arm and then cut theseatbelt with a pair of scissors.
Michael and Charles pulled
the woman out.“Michael got under the
lady. She was shocked. Wewere trying to get her name totalk to her andmake sure shedidn’t pass out. She was con-scious but really incoherent
because of the shock,” Charlessaid.
He then rigged a tourniquetto stop the flow of blood.
They called 9-1-1 andfirefighters and an ambulancewere soon on the scene but
West Vancouver Const. JeffPalmer said the amateurheroes likely saved the day.
“She suffered a really quitecritical injury of the arm. Shecould have bled out in not avery long time,” he said.
Michael said the officialcommendation was nice toreceive, but he really washappy just to be in a positionto help.
“I didn’t expect it at all.It’s just something you doand you’re thankful youcould help someone. It’s notthat you think you’ll get anaward,” Michael said. “It justshows that everyone can dosomething to help someone inneed.”
The group received theircommendations at theWestVancouver police boardmeet-ing on Thursday afternoon.
Several West Vancouverconstables received policecommendations last monthfor their heroic actions inseveral incidents: Rescuing amother and children from avehicle flipped over a steepembankment, a nick-of-timeseizing of a distraught personwho was attempting to jumpfrom the Lions Gate Bridgeand tackling a man who haddoused himself in gasoline andwas attempting to light himselfon fire.

Tsleil-Waututh vow to halt expansionnow rests with the Liberalcabinet, and the final decisionwill likely be announced inDecember.
The NEB’s main task wasto determine whether theproject was in Canada’s bestinterests. In justifying theirdecision, the NEBmemberslisted their main reasons: Thatthe pipeline increased accessfor Canadian oil, hundreds oflong-term jobs and thousandsin construction, developmentfor Indigenous communities,benefits from spending onpipeline materials and consid-erable government revenue.
Burnaby North-SeymourLiberal MP Terry Beech saidhe was not surprised by theNEB’s recommendation andhis role now is to make theriding’s concerns front andcentre with the decision mak-ers in Ottawa.
“When it comes downto this issue, I have a voice.All MPs have a voice. But Idon’t have a veto,” he said.“I’m going work with all mystakeholders who live in thecommunity and around thecommunity and are impactedby this pipeline and encour-age them to participate in thisprocess wholeheartedly.”
Beech said he is planninga number of open forums andmeetings with communitygroups in the coming months.He said that will be an oppor-tunity for people who feel theyweren’t heard during the pro-cess so far, acknowledging theNEB process was “inadequateand flawed”
“I will make sure to pass onour community’s views to mycaucus, the cabinet, the primeminister and everyone else inOttawa,” he said.
During the 2015 electioncampaign, Justin Trudeausaid that “governments grantpermits, communities grantpermission,” Beech acknowl-edged. But he could not saywhether that permission hadbeen granted.
“I hesitate to answer thatright now because I don’twant to pre-empt the seven-month process we’re about toundertake. Certainly looking atwhat was submitted on behalf
of our relevant communitymembers, the municipalities,the MLAs, the province, thelocal First Nations, and cer-tainly the letters I’ve receivedin my inbox, I would have tosay our local community hasnot granted that permissionyet,” he said.
The announcementchanges nothing for RuebenGeorge, manager of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation’s Sacred TrustInitiative, which has beenopposing the project since itsonset.
“I’m not surprised. For us,it’s work as usual. We have aplan that we haven’t been shyabout, sharing on howwe feelabout the project and whatwe’re doing to stop it,” he said.
The Tsleil-Waututh Nationis currently waiting on a rulingfrom the federal court, allegingthe National Energy Board andfederal government failed intheir constitutional duty toconsult the First Nation.
The Tsleil-Waututh pro-duced their own 1,200-pageassessment of the proposaland found “100 per cent” thepipeline would be a bad idea,George said.
“It’s clear and apparentthat we have the best interestto protect the land and thewater, which we’ve been doinghistorically for thousandsof years. When we do thiswork, everybody benefits.Everybody,” he said.
The NEB’s approval maybe a step towards pipelineapproval, but it’s certainlynot the last step, cautionedNorth Vancouver Liberal MPJonathanWilkinson.
“That’s the NEB’s approval,that’s not the government’sapproval,” he said.
When asked about thechallenges of meeting climatechange goals should the pipe-line be approved, Wilkinsonstressed that any emissionswould have to fall belowAlberta’s cap.
“They’re not direct emis-sions because pipelinestypically don’t leak,” he said.
If the project is approved,it will be because the gov-ernment believes there issufficient spill response inplace, according toWilkinson.
“We are Vancouverites, butwe’re also British Columbians
and we’re Canadians, so therehas to be a national look atthis as well as a local lookat this,” he said, discussingthe economic benefits ofexpansion.
When campaigning foroffice in 2015, Wilkinson toldvoters: “We as a country can-not say ‘no’ to everything.”
Describing her reactionas disappointed but notsurprised, environmentalistand NOPE founder JaniceEdmonds characterized thepipeline’s economic benefitsas inflated.
“When you compare themto the risk of an oil spill and
the billions of dollars thatcleanup would cost and thecost to our economy in B.C.… the benefits that they’retalking about don’t stack upat all.”
Edmonds emphasized thatthere are still sevenmonths togo to a final approval.
“We knew that right fromthe very beginning (the NEB)were going to approve it,” shesaid. “We haven’t lost yet.”
Discussing proposedpublic hearings on thepipeline, Edmonds had threewords of advice for her fellowenvironmentalists: “Pack thehearings,” she said.

Common behaviour
It’s not what most Canadians thinkof when they hear the words “benchclearing.”
But the allegations are that PrimeMinister Justin Trudeau “manhan-
dled” a Conservative MP and elbowedan NDP MP in the House of CommonsWednesday.
We turned to social media and CPACvideo and found ourselves watching thedonnybrook in slow-mo replay like NHLreferees reviewing a challenged play.
Almost all agree the elbowing wasunintentional – but also that it nevershould have happened in the first place.
Justin Trudeau apologized, and rightlyso. We don’t need a display of his well-known pugilistic talents in the House.It was an embarrassing and distinctlyunparliamentary moment.
Following the Westminster tradition,the government and Opposition benches
in Parliament are 3.96 metres apart – saidto be two sword lengths – the idea beingthe two sides will debate the issues of theday without ever resorting to violence.
Of course, if we’re entirely fixated onthe bad behaviour of the PM, we’re miss-ing the bigger picture of what happenedin this sorry display.
At issue was the Liberals’ controver-sial legislation on doctor-assisted dying.It deserves a full debate – somethingthe Liberals had tried to limit. Andthe NDP appeared to be obstructing aConservative MP from returning to hisseat to stall a vote.
Perhaps if all parties showed a littlemore respect for democracy, stunts likethis wouldn’t escalate in the first place.
In the meantime, we advise JT to takea deep breath, remain in his seat and geton with the serious business ofthe nation.

It’s the classic solutionlooking for a problem.
There is nothing wrongwith Ambleside beach that
West Vancouver town hallcan’t screw up, permanently,irrevocably – starting withthe core surrender of delight-ful Argyle Avenue to the SpiritTrail bicycle lobby and itsenablers.
To appease the politicallycorrect bikers and hikers,West Van bureaucrats plotdestruction of the Silk Purse,Music Box and Lawson artsbuildings – claiming they’rethreatened by (rare) hightides, ludicrous in the caseof the Lawson – and insanelyprohibiting motorized trafficand precious parking onArgyle Avenue.
Don’t fold to the pres-sures, council. Defendpresent uses and users:Families bound for thegreat children’s playground.Gentle strollers. Dog walkers.Fragile oldsters. Dreamers.Boaters preparing for thesweatiest relaxation on earth.Meandering couples lookinginto each others’ eyes, notkeeping to the bureaucrats’
designated side of the“shared” path. And slo-mobicycle riders too, not thegrim-jawed, lycra-and-span-dex show-offs speeding onthree-grand-and-up machineswith 192 gears.
Bottom line: As it nowstands, Argyle Avenue unites.The proposed Argyle Avenuedivides.
Literally. The BerlinWall gone, the Bicycle andBirkenstock Wall throughthe heart of the beach wouldimpede safe, easy crossingnorth and south by personsbound for the playground,beach, picnic area, public
washrooms – at the mercyof those cyclists famousfor meticulously respectingpedestrian crosswalks andred lights, hahaha.
Exaggeration? I asked allcouncillors: How will familieswith a couple of toddlers and/or strollers plus burdens ofbags, picnic hampers, what-ever, safely cross? Park artistshumping their easels andwares? And has the future ofthe Harmony Arts Festival onArgyle been discussed?
Coun. Christine Cassidyreplied: “Excellent questionand thus far one that has notbeen addressed in any verbalor written report on thissubject. I suspect that we’llsee signage giving specificinstructions on how to pro-ceed with regard and respectfor the safety of all users.However, I will ask specifi-cally for an answer.”
Read that again. Theenablers haven’t even dis-cussed the question. Premise:They haven’t got an answer.They just have a rosy PR“vision.”
The “11 guiding prin-ciples” of the Ambleside
Waterfront Concept Plan areequally silent about park-ing – not a scintilla of relieffor the major objective of“revitalizing” Marine Drive.On the contrary, ripping outparking spaces on Argyle’s1300-1500 blocks would hurtAmbleside’s struggling busi-nesses. Duh!
Note well: In an informalchat over soda water, MayorMichael Smith denied anynotion, mine included, thatthis is a done deal. Justproposals moving throughprocess.
The next big date is June13, when this stew of fixing anon-existent problem goes tocouncil “for consideration”.Time to rally the “NegativeNellies.”
! ! !
The reference above toa drink with Mayor Smithwasn’t facetious. He reallywas sipping soda water whenwe talked. Under the newsradar, Smith was quite seri-ously ill for months.
“I don’t want to make abig thing out of my recent
troubles,” he summed upin an email. “As you know,a low profile suits me. Thebrief facts are that I went intohospital on Jan. 14 for a shortone-hour procedure and got aserious infection from it.”
Smith was hospitalizedthree times, “as the infectionkept re-occurring,” puzzlingthe docs (note well: thiswasn’t at our own Lions GateHospital).
After two months onantibiotics he feels fine “andam 30 pounds lighter andback working out five timesper week with a personaltrainer.’’ Also ready for a firstreal drink.
Dr. Lautens diagnoses theillness as a clear case of alltoo common but rarely admit-ted iatrogenesis. Look it up.Hint: Re-read previous item.
! ! !
Agent 000, new and thusto be treated warily, allegesthat a West Van town hallstaffer resigned almost a yearago but is still being paid.

Pedestrians, cyclists faceconfusingmix of traffic rulesDear Editor:
Sunday, May 1 was aglorious day and familieswere out and about enjoy-ing the weather. We werehappily walking our dog atAmbleside when a close callhappened.
A family of five, cyclingeastbound on Argyle Avenueat 14th Street, nearly had anasty collision with a car,when their son cycled intothe path of the oncomingvehicle. Fortunately, thedriver was cautious and theboy was not hit.
The point of this is thatwhile cars travelling alongArgyle between 13th and15th streets must travel one
way (west), cyclists seemto think they can travel inboth directions. If this istrue, and currently there areno signs that say otherwise,this has the potential tocause accidents.
Firstly, there are driversbacking out of parking stallslooking east to see if thereis any oncoming traffic, theyare not necessarily lookingto see if cyclists are comingfrom the west.
Pedestrians walk bothways, which may be thesaving grace for cyclists,but they can and do stop.Secondly, the current roadis narrow and so on a sunnyday there can be a lot of
congestion.If pedestrians are expect-
ing the road to be one way,it comes as a bit of a shockto find cyclists coming inthe opposite direction.
May I respectfullyrequest that the Districtof West Vancouver makesa decision as to whethercyclists must obey themotoring rule on that streetwhich is one way, or permitcyclists to travel as pedes-trians, in which case lookto provide a cycle lane.This might help all parties,pedestrians, cyclists andmotorists alikeAnne SavillNorth Vancouver

SOCIALMEDIANSN STORY:WV Owners Chop Trees to Beat Bylaw (April 22)
Carl Linnaeus:
When did the city become the expert on what people should do with their greenery andlandscaping? We should all take pause before we tell people what to do within the confines ofthe expensive urban land they own. While I agree with the conservation of trees, I don’t agreethat the city has any mandate to enforce the preservation of them on people’s house lots. Ihope those that made this bylaw reconsider or get chopped down the next election. Instead,I suggest they crack down on owners that let their shrubberies overgrow half of the sidewalkin front of their houses

It’s often said that innovation is the keyto Canada’s future competitiveness andeconomic growth. If that’s true, then thefuture holds some challenges.
The World Economic Forum ranksCanada at just 26th for businessinnovation. Canada remains near thebottom of its peer group on innovation,ranking 13th among the 16 countriestracked by the Conference Board ofCanada.
The Conference Board defines innovationas a process through which economicor social value is extracted fromknowledge—through the creating,diffusing, and transforming of ideas—toproduce new or improved products,services, processes, strategies, orcapabilities.
Countries and provinces with robustand successful innovation activity seeimprovements in productivity, economicgrowth, and job creation and have moreresources available to support spendingin education, health, infrastructure, andother areas.
Incredibly complexEnhancing innovation from a policyperspective is complex. I’ve beenspending a considerable amount of timewith my colleagues in Ottawa helpingto develop this government’s innovationagenda. An effective innovation agendais critical if Canada is to sustain andgrow its prosperity as a nation.
The good news is innovation is part ofour national DNA. It was innovationthat carved this country out of thewilderness into the social, cultural andeconomic envy of the world that it istoday.
Which brings me to Don Mavinic andall the Don Mavinics out there. Becausetheir stories provide the inspiration and
NorthVancouver’s Innovation Inspirationthe example that Canada, with focusand determination, can be a world-leader in an ever more innovation-basedglobal economy.
Don’s a civil engineering professorat UBC who decided to take on asignificant environmental challenge:marine dead zones caused byphosphorus pollution from run-off andsewage treatment.
An inventive inventionDon’s team invented a system thatextracts phosphorus from sewage andtransforms it back into valuable fertilizer.
The road from invention tocommercialization was not easy butthey eventually succeeded. Vancouver-headquartered Ostara Nutrient Recoverynow sells the technology around theworld.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is on the Ostaraboard of directors: “This technologyprovides an elegant solution that benefitsthe environment at all stages, and trulyexhibits the new shift that we are seeingtowards closed looped and sustainabletechnologies.”
So I asked Don Mavinic for his bestadvice on this subject: “Have faith inwhat you are doing and believe in. DoNOT be discouraged by temporarysetbacks. And all stakeholders MUST bepatient and be prepared to invest for thelong term success.”
In recognition of his award, what say wegive Don Mavinic the last word:
“Canada is way too risk-adversecompared to other countries. To be aninnovation leader we need to be bold.”
Sponsored by the Electoral DistrictAssociation of North Vancouver, LiberalParty of Canada.
Note to reader:A group of North Vancouver friends have made it their good-natured mission toensure I do not become too “Ottawized” while serving as your representative in ournation’s capital.
Recently, I was heard saying to a member of this group, “I did an SO31 before QPon Don Mavinic.”
My friend’s baffled gaze conveyed that I had inadvertently lapsed into a foreigntongue known as Ottawa Babel. It’s a mysterious language of countless acronyms,abbreviations and made-up words.
My initial immersion was disorienting - like your first visit to Starbucks where peopleare speaking in tongues yet somehow manage to get their coffee.
But you get the hang of it. Trouble is it’s not particularly helpful outside of theOttawa bubble.
So please permit me to translate “I did an SO31 before QP on Don Mavinic”because it relates to what this column is about.
“SO31” is parliamentary shorthand for Standing Order 31 of the House ofCommons procedural rules that allows MP’s to rise before Question Period (QP) tomake a one minute statement on just about anything they want.
Dr. Don Mavinic is a North Vancouver resident and a world-renowned waste watertreatment expert who just won a prestigious Gold Medal Award from EngineersCanada. As I stood in the House recently to recognize Don’s achievement and haveit recorded in Hansard, I thought his story of achievement would make a great focusfor a column about innovation. So here it is.

That is expected to last until mid-next week. Once itis removed, construction work will begin on the remainder of the new bridge, which willultimately have five lanes plus wider sidewalks and bike paths.

Rescuers pluck two hikers fromcliff near Howe Sound Crest TrailNorth Shore Rescue isagain warning hikers notto expect an easy helicop-ter ride home if they gointo the bush unprepared.
A group of Richmondhikers wound up scatteredin treacherous terrain onSaturday evening when theystrayed from the Howe SoundCrest Trail near St. Mark’sSummit. The group split upand two youngmen foundthemselves stranded on a cliffband.
With dwindling daylight,
the team called in helicoptersupport.
“These guys were wearingrunners, tank tops and shorts.They didn’t have any extraclothing or equipment withthem so they weren’t wellprepared for that hike at thistime of year,” said team leaderMike Danks.
Volunteers long-lined themen back to the Cypress Bowlparking lot but Danks said hewas tempted to make the menwalk out, escorted by rescueteammembers.
OnMonday night, theteamwalked a youngman andwoman off Mount Seymourafter they lost the MysteryLake trail in the clouds.
Danks said the couple, whowere also not well prepared,were smart to call for help andstay put, despite being “really,really close” to the chairlift.
Danks sent in a team tohelp so the couple wouldn’tget stuck overnight withoutany means of communication.

! Coastal City Ballet, SwanLake, May 21, 8 p.m. at theVancouver Playhouse, 600Hamilton St., Vancouver. Tickets:$25-$45 at vtixonline.com. A secondperformancewill takeplace June 10, 8 p.m. at the SurreyArts Centre, 1375088thAve., Surrey. Tickets: $25-$35 at tickets.surrey.ca.
Last summer, Lions Gate Hospital became somewhatof a second home for Li Yaming.
The artistic director of Coastal City Ballet, and the wholecompany for that matter, were frequent visitors of Argentiniandancer Lucila Munaretto, who was hit by a vehicle while roller
skating in Upper Lonsdale in August. The serious accident leftthe promising young ballerina with shattered bones, includingher jaw and pelvis, and she spent two weeks in a medicallyinduced coma to ease the swelling in her brain.
At the time, Yaming never thought Munaretto would beable to dance again. But, despite her severe injuries, shemade rapid progress with her recovery and returned to thestage, albeit in a small role, to dance in a holiday show justfour months after her accident. This weekend, Munaretto isexcited to be performing in front of an audience once again.The 21-year-old landed a character role in Coastal City Ballet’sproduction of Swan Lake, which runs May 21 at the VancouverPlayhouse and June 10 at the Surrey Arts Centre.
“For us it’s a miracle,” Yaming says.
Russian composer Pytor Tchaikovsky’s 1876 work isperhaps one of the best-known classical ballets of all time.In Coastal City’s full-length production, created by Germanchoreographer Irene Schneider, Prince Siegfried dreams ofhis true love, Odette (the white swan), but in reality is facedwith the prospect of an arranged marriage to Odile (the blackswan).
In an email interview, Munaretto says the intensiverehearsals have been challenging, but she’s thrilled to have asmall role in the show.
“It is the dream of almost every dancer to perform SwanLake, and of course it was not different for me,” she writes.

“Now that I am having thechance to relearn everything Iam just learning Swan Lake thebest way possible and it justmakesme happy every timethat I even think about it.”
Practising for the showhas been a form of physio-therapy for her, she adds,and since returning to thestudio, much of the painassociated with her injurieshas subsided. Looking back,she says her accident wasa blessing because it hasallowed her to see everymoment as unique. Andwhen it comes to dance,she’s been learning the move-ments anew and correctingany “cheats” she may havebeen guilty of in the past.
Yaming says Swan Lakeis often considered a riteof passage that all youngdancers must performbefore entering the world ofprofessional ballet. He beganhis dance career in Chinaand estimates he performedSwan Lake some 200 timesover the course of five years.It’s a demanding piece, hesays, particularly for the twodozen swan dancers whoare on stage for much of thetwo-hour show and mustmaintain perfect synchro-nized formation during thefamous group dance in thesecond act.
Saturday’s performancewill mark the Canadianpremiere of Irene Schneider’sSwan Lake. Her first com-mission for Coastal City
Ballet was in 2012, when shechoreographed Hansel andGretel. She kept in touch withYaming and in the follow-ing years choreographed AMidsummer Night’s Dream,Coppelia and Cinderella forthe repertory company. Herversion of Swan Lake is billedas “a modern twist” on atimeless classic. While theessence of the traditional
Swan Lake remains intact,Yaming says the costumingand storyline will be morerelatable to modern-dayaudiences.
“Our version is a littlebit more contemporary,” hesays.

“There’s going to be areally relaxing soundtrackbehind this interview,”Black Mountain drummerJoshua Wells observes.
He’s not kidding: the five-piece is gathered for dinnerat Veggiebowl, a Vietnameserestaurant in East Vancouver,and the music being playedover the speakers is a mixtureof chiming New Age tones andtwittering birdcalls.
It’s an ironic backdropagainst which to interviewone of the city’s most cel-ebrated psych rock exports.Black Mountain has gatheredto discuss its newly releasedfourth album, IV, an ambitiousprog odyssey that’s filled withgut-punching guitar jams andspacious synth explorations.
Its release comes six yearsafter the band’s prior LP,2010’sWilderness Heart.
“We had to (decide) whatwe wanted to do as peoplein life and as musicians, andwhether we wanted to make
another record,” singer-guitarist Stephen McBeanoffers in regards to the longspan between albums. “I thinkthe time away was good. Lesspressure. Finding everyone’sstrengths and weaknesses.”
During the break, all of themembers kept busy with sideprojects. McBean bouncedbetween a handful of stylisti-cally varied bands whileliving in Los Angeles (quirkyrock with Pink Mountaintops,hardcore with Obliterations,self-described “death folk”with Grim Tower). SingerAmber Webber teamed upwith Wells for an electronicpop album as Lightning Dust,and she launched the folkproject Kodiak Deathbeds.Keyboardist Jeremy Schmidtreleased a synth soundtrackas Sinoia Caves. Longtimebassist Matthew Camirandleft the group and has sincebeen replaced by ColinCowan.
“The thing with Matt was
tough, because the band wasbuilt on the chemistry of theinitial five people,” McBeanadmits. “It was depressing tonot play together anymore,but for him, he’s alwayswanted to front a band andwrite the songs.”
Wryly, the frontman adds,“Not everyone can be in a vantogether for seven years.”
Once the band membersreconvened, they workedgradually, drawing togethermaterial from an assortmentof sources: Webber pennedthe psych-folk dirge “LineThem All Up,” and McBeantransformed a live PinkMountaintops cut into thelooming electro-rock scorcher“You Can Dream.” Eight-and-a-half-minute opener “Mothersof the Sun” was based on anunreleased cut from theirarchives, and it features oneof their heaviest, ‘70s-inspiredhard rock licks.
“We all knew we didn’twant to lose that riff,
especially as we get olderand softer,” McBean sayswith a self-deprecating laugh,crediting Schmidt withresuscitating the song duringa Sinoia Caves performance.The keyboardist explains,“The riffs dry up. It was myway of trying to trick the bandinto looking at that song againbecause I didn’t want it to goto waste.”
Recording sessionstook place at Avast! studioin Seattle with returningproducer Randall Dunn, withadditional tracking doneat Black Mountain’s localBalloon Factory space. IV’stitle was an easy choice:not only is it the band’sfourth album, it’s a tributeto similarly titled LPs by LedZeppelin, Black Sabbath andthe Stranglers.
“And Beyoncé,” addsWebber. “I just put thattogether the other day.”
With IV out now, thecollaborators have bookedan extensive tour of Europeand North America that willkeep them on the road untilat least July. “It’s exciting togo on tour with a new record,because we’d done a lot oftouring,” McBean enthuses.“We could tour for a bunchmore years without a newrecord, probably, but thenyou run the risk of — what isit, ‘heritage act’?”

Queen Mary elementary students, including Deema Tomizeh (left photo) and Ewan Anderson (right), rehearsed with performers Holly Arntzen and Kevin Wright for the Rock to Salish Sea concert atCentennial Theatre on May 19. For more information on the project visit facebook.com/rockthesalishseatour. PHOTOSMIKEWAKEFIELD
Now’s the time to save the Salish SeaEnvironmental arts project inspires Queen Mary elementary students
Hundreds of tiny handsstretch skyward and turninto fists.
The reason elementarystudents with faces unmarkedby cynicism have adopted theclenched fist salute is twofold:they want their watershedprotected and also, it goeswith the song.
The Rock the Salish Seatour – a series of concerts inwhich elementary studentsjoin professional musicians inperforming songs about pre-serving the environment – is
the brainchild of singers KevinWright and Holly Arntzen.
“There’s so much at stakein our inland ocean rightnow,” Arntzen says.
The singer seems ascomfortable strumming amandolin as discussing drop-ping numbers of salmon in theStrait of Georgia (chinook andcoho numbers are one-tenththe levels recorded in previ-ous years, according to thePacific Salmon Foundation).
“Now’s the time, let’s saveit!” Arntzen says.
Last night’s concert wasset to feature 360 singersfrom Queen Mary elementary
singing along with Arntzen,Wright, bassist Owen Veberand guitarist Arnt Arntzen.
The shows are a fusion ofmusic and ecology as well asa marriage of folk and rock,Arntzen explains.
“I bring in the Joni Mitchellinfluence, (Wright) brings inthe Bon Scott and we meetsomewhere in the middle.”
Some of the concerts fea-ture call-and-response portionwhere Arntzen yells “Water!”and the throng of youngvoices hollers: “For life!”
The kids generally spendmonths learning the lyrics andcorresponding movements
before rehearsing withArntzen andWright in theweek before the performance.
“If you hear them back-stage just before the concert,that’s a sustainable sourceof energy that could run jetengines,” Arntzen laughs.
The singer jokes about oneday writing a manual entitledHow toWork with 400 Kidsand Never Have to Say ‘BeQuiet.’
Part of the kids’ co-operation is due to theirappreciation of the music, shesays.
“Kids love rock ‘n’ roll,they just do.”
Loud music has oftenrepresented a chasm betweengenerations and politicalpoints of view.
In 1956, a Baptist reverendjudged Elvis Presley “mor-ally insane.” Last February,a republican congress-man declared Beyoncé’sSuper Bowl performance“anti-police.”
For Arntzen, music is away to inform the young andinspire the old – or maybe it’sthe other way around.
“Not only are childrenlearning about nature, they’resharing and celebrating thatknowledge with the adult
members of their families,”she says. “We’re trying to givepeople many different ways toconnect to their children, totheir schools, to their commu-nities, to their watersheds.”
Much like pop musi-cians use their concerts todrive fans to consumemore,Arntzen uses the stage topush her audience to con-sume less.
Previous shows have beenreplete with tips for utiliz-ing rainwater and keeping apitcher of water in the fridgeto avoid wasts while waiting

Fashion trends arefamously fleeting, butwhen it comes to sun-glasses and eyeglasses,styles tend to have a bitmore staying power.
“Every season there aresome things that becomemore popular,” explainsRozita Taeidi of WestVancouver’s Look Optical.“For example, oversizedglasses might becomerounder one season, theymight become bolder oneseason, but it doesn’t changetoo drastically.”
Celebrating its 20thanniversary, Look Opticalwas opened by Rozita’sfather, Mike Taeidi, in 1996 atMarine Drive and 15th Streetin Ambleside. Mike and hiswife are neighbourhood resi-dents and licensed opticiansand work at the family-runbusiness with Rozita, whohandles the administrativeside of things.
“I’m a fashion consul-tant as well,” Mike notes,explaining that people havepreferred styles and favouritedesigners, but also want sun-glasses and eyeglasses thatsuit their face and complex-ion. For example, someonewith a round face mightchoose narrow frames to cre-ate the appearance of widereyes and a longer face.
Fortunately, most popularstyles, like the classic aviator,come in a host of colours andsizes so people can still repli-cate their favourite celebrity
look, with minor variations tosuit the individual.
Below, Rozita shares someof the eyewear trends she’snoticing for 2016.
Made in the shadeOversized sunglasses have
been popular for a few years,but recently they’ve taken ona cat-eye shape, creating alook that blends a retro vibewith modern art and globalpop culture, Rozita says.
“Because they’re over-sized, they provide a lot ofcoverage, and they’re alsoreally stylish because it’s thecat frame.”
Meanwhile, gradient-tintlenses are also in vogue.These lenses might be darkbrown or dark grey at thebrow and transition to alighter shade toward thecheekbone.
“These are really coolbecause they offer analternative to classic one-colour tones,” Rozita says.“They’re fun, but they’re notoverbearing.”
For men, aviator sun-glasses, with their signatureteardrop-shaped lenses, havebeen popular for a while andremain in high demand.
“The nice thing aboutaviators is that they workwith almost all faces and theycome in so many colours,”Rozita says, noting the unisexstyle is also popular withwomen. This spring andsummer, designer brands likeRay-Ban, Gucci and Pradahave released aviators withdarker lenses and reflectivelenses.
Optical flairSemi-rimless optical
frames feature a frame at thetop of the lens, but not thebottom. This subtle style ispopular with women thisyear, Rozita says.
“They have a minimalis-tic look, they’re really thin,they’re lightweight,” she says,
noting that titanium frameswith spring hinges are incred-ibly flexible and strong.
“They just look very clean,effortless. It’s more like anatural, simple look – it’sgreat for work.”
In plastic frames, there’s
Oversized sunglasses andaviators as popular as ever

One unisex brand that’sespecially popular with menis the Canadian-designed
Spectacle Eyeworks, whichhas come out with a collec-tion of genuine wood frames.
“They’re very sturdyframes and they’re light,”Rozita says.
The two-tone colour effectis also big in eyeglassesthis year, particularly with
plastic-rimmed frames.“It creates this really
nice subtle contrast and thecombination isn’t overbear-ing,” Rozita says, explainingthese frames appear to beone colour from the front, butreveal a second colour whenviewed in profile.

tour comes with its own setof tasks.
“All of us who live inthese watersheds around theSalish Sea, we have a job todo,” Arntzen explains. “We’re
asking people to take yourtires to Northshore Tire onMay 21 because it gets thosetires out of vacant lot andstream beds and off beachesand out of backyards.”
Asked about her decisionto marry environmentalismwith music, Arntzen laughs.
“It was a very organic
evolution,” she says.The granddaughter of a
fisherman and the former wifeof the late scientist and activ-ist Stephen Foster, Arntzenstarted writing songs withenvironmental messages inthe late 1980s.
She regularly absorbedlectures from environmental
activists whose speechesprovided some of the contentfor her songs.
These days, Arntzen is try-ing to spread the word aboutglobal warming’s effect on theocean.
While the ocean hasonly warmed by a tenth ofa degree, a recent National
Geographic article suggestedeven that miniscule changeresults in stronger storms andhigher sea levels, as well aswreaking havoc on coral andthereby jeopardizing barrierreefs.
For Arntzen, the greathope is that if she does herjob well, more people will
think about how they live andfor whom they vote.
“We really hope people goaway having been touchedby the children singing,” shesays. “That’s what we, peopleon land, can do.”
The tour continues inVictoria and Campbell Riverthis June.

Formulaic story leaves ablackhole!TheManWhoKnewInfinity.WrittenanddirectedbyMatthewBrown.StarringDevPatelandJeremyIrons.Rating:6 (outof 10)
JULIE CRAWFORDContributingWriter
Following in the footstepsof Oscar-nominated filmbiographies about StephenHawking and Alan Turingcomes the untold story ofmath prodigy SrinivasaRamanujan, a largelyself-taught mathematicianwho went from povertyin India to a fellowshipat Cambridge during theFirst World War.
However, this film’s too-conventional treatment of itsextraordinary subject – andlack of emotional focus –equates to less potential forsuccess during awards seasonand at the box office.
Without a degree,Ramanujan (Dev Patel) is moreor less unemployable in hisnative Madras, despite lettersof reference and notebooksfull of brilliance. He finally getsa job as a lowly clerk who hasno need of his abacus, whichcatches the attention of hisboss, the first to encouragehim: “You have been alonein your mind your wholelife.” Stuffy colonial overseerStephen Fry recommendsan acquaintance at TrinityCollege.
It takes some timebefore famed professor G.H.Hardy (Jeremy Irons) takesRamanujan’s letter and sampletheories seriously: he initially
writes them off as a hoax, aprank played by his colleagueLittlewood (Toby Jones). Butonce convinced, Hardy sendsfor Ramanujan immediately.
His new wife (DevikaBhise) is heartbroken butunderstands: “I was told youlove numbers more than youlove people.” His motherpoints out that Brahmins arenot permitted to cross the sea.It is 1914.
At Cambridge Ramanujanencounters the very treeunder which Newton discov-ered gravity. He also bumpsinto the insidious racism ofthe British academic systemof the time, not to mention
dietary restrictions and new,uncomfortable shoes toreplace his sandals.
Most irritating toRamanujan is the fact thatHardy has him spend all histime attending facile classesandmaking proofs, thelegwork of math, instead ofexpanding on his theories andrealizing his dream of publish-ing. As letters from home failto make the ocean journeyand the First WorldWar takeshold of the college, thingsstart to fall apart.
Jeremy Northam isphilosopher/political activistBertrand Russell, whose quote“Mathematics, rightly viewed,
possesses not only truth butsupreme beauty,” introducesthe film.
Ramanujan is the pre-sumptive hero, but this isIrons’ film. He gets the bestlines and the lion’s share ofaudience interest, from themoment that his character, aconfirmed bachelor, calls hiscollaboration with the younggenius “the one romanticincident of my life.” Patel’scharacter is less fleshed-out,despite having all sorts ofvariables to deal with, includ-ing violence on campus, racialslurs from his professors andfellow students, a crumblingrelationship back home and
a strained working partnerin Hardy, not to mention apotentially life-threateningcondition. Emotionally, Patelbarely scratches the surface.
Writer-director MatthewBrown keeps it simple, buteven those of us who barelyskated through high schoolmath are left wanting moreexplanation of Ramanujan’sinfluence: a line at the end ofthe filmmentions pioneeringtheorems about black holes,but his character only hints atpatterns and beauty in math-ematics and the relationshipbetween equations and god.A little more mathmagic andless by-the-numbers, please.

In Loving Memory...Born in Prince George, BC, she was the first ofeight children in an active rural homestead. Thefirst of her five children was born in 1950, the last in1967. As well as a mother, she was an employee,volunteer, crafter, gardener, angler, camper andexplorer. She and her husband, Stan, were avidoutdoors people and explored much of BC.Vancouver Island and the Cariboo were theirfavourites. Many friends were made in thecommunities they lived in and the places theywent. Always puttering, the sound of her busyhands and humming always meant delicious meals,meticulous crafts and bountiful gardens. Manythanks to the staff at Ridge Meadows Hospital andGreystone Manor who provided tremendoussupport and comfort during the past year.Mom, you are forever in our hearts!
CLARK, Margaret L.October 12, 1926 − May 10, 2016
It is with deep sadness that we announce thepassing of Margaret Lillian Clark (nee Hampton) onMay 10, 2016. She will be lovingly remembered byall who knew her, and for her dedication and lovefor family, friends, community, physical fitness andMother Nature.
Margaret, a lifelong North Van resident, was bornon Doran Road in Lynn Valley on October 12, 1926.Her early years were spent at the Hampton familyhome on 13th Street. She attended Queen MarySchool and Sprott Shaw College. She later workedat Paine and Mc & Mc Hardware Stores onLonsdale. Married to Frederick Arthur Clark in 1949,she moved to Dempsey Road in Lynn Valley whereshe lived until 2009. During those years, she raiseda family and worked as an Avon Lady and atHudson’s Bay.
She leaves a sporting legacy as one of thefounding members of the Lynn Valley Women’sAthletic Club, which brought organized softball forwomen and girls to Lynn Valley. Many willremember her speed and agility on the ball field.She was the first recipient of the Molly GeorgeSportsmanship Trophy. She whizzed to finish firston many hundred yard dashes at the annual LynnValley Day field events. Her sporting life continuedinto her 70’s as she continued to play softball andattend aquasize classes at the local pools.
Margaret loved being outdoors, whether atbeaches, fishing, biking or gardening. Many happyfamily holidays were spent camping at RebeccaSpit on Quadra Island. She inspired us all to keepactive and live life to the fullest.
Margaret treasured the many good friends shemade over the years in the neighbourhood, on theball field, at the pool and through her work. Hergreatest pleasures in later years were visiting herdaughters’ homes, and sharing special times withgrandchildren and great grandchildren.

Are you a reliablefriend, or a fun friend?
There’s often not toomuch of an overlap there –the guy who likes to wear alampshade on his head atparties is likely going to for-get to pick you up from theairport late at night. Usually,when you really need some-thing to get done, you needyour boring accountantfriend to do it for you.
For a large percentage of
its life, the Toyota Corollahas been most emphaticallythe second kind of friend. ACorolla with the four-speedautomatic in beige waspretty much the pleatedkhakis of automobiles.Functional, but not very styl-ish. Efficient, but not muchfun. Dependable, but notexciting.
However, the S designa-tion on the back of thisCorolla is here to change
your mind about what aToyota can offer. The colourpalate is brighter, there are17-inch alloys on display,the styling is sharp enoughto stand out, and there areeven rumours of sportierhandling.
A party animal that’s alsoreliable? Can it be true? Let’scheck it out.
DESIGNWhere once the Corolla
faded into the background,it now stands out. Well,sort of. The average car onthe road these days looksinsanely aggressive. Trafficis beginning to look like aSalvador Dali interpreta-tion of Richard Scarry’sBusytown.
As a result, the Corolla’snew edgier look is merelykeeping pace with thecompetition. And it does:the baby-Camry silhouette
works well here, and whilethe large faux front grilleisn’t too over the top, it’s alot better than the Prius’snew catfish face or theYaris’s weird lucha libremask.
The 17-inch alloysare part of the Corolla’sTechnology package andreally set the car off. Theyalso show some of Toyota’s
ReliableCorolla loosensupabitThe Toyota Corolla has long been known as a reliable car that is high on functionality and efficiency but low on style and excitement. The 2016 model, however, lets loose a little bit, retainingthe old reliability while adding in an upgraded look that elevates it above boring, inside and out. It is available at Jim Pattison Toyota in the Northshore Auto Mall. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH

Unique keepsake fromRolls-Royce
BrakingNewsBrendan McAleer
The last 50 Rolls-Royce Phantoms ever built, known as the Zenith models, will include many quirky luxury touches such as achunk of metal from the actual production line laser-engraved with an identification number. PHOTOS SUPPLIED ROLLS-ROYCE
A biweekly roundup ofautomotive news, good,bad and just plain weird.
LAST PHANTOMSINCLUDE PARTS OF PRO-DUCTION LINE
In a rather clever mar-keting move, Rolls-Roycehas just announced thatthey’ll be inserting a pieceof the actual productionline into each of the 50last Phantoms as they areall built. Each of the so-called Zenith Phantoms willreceive a chunk of metal inthe dashboard which willbe numbered and laser-engraved and encasedin aluminium. The wordbespoke is used about 78times in the press release.
From a collectabilitystandpoint, this is a smartmove by Rolls. Their well-heeled clientele may nowrest assured that theirlast-of-breed cars will not bereplicated. Odds are the nextPhantom will have some kindof turbocharged engine too,so maybe there’s a case to bemade that these things willhold their eye-watering pricetags.
But I really don’t thinkthey will. An old Rolls-Royceis a classic, and representsrolling artwork that may be
restored to its former glory.A new Rolls-Royce is a con-sumable, filled with miles ofelectronic wiring harnessesand dozens of electrical com-ponents all waiting to fizzleout. Also, the Phantom is abit of an imposing lump ofa thing. A colleague memo-rably noted that it lookslike Oswald Mosley com-missioned BMW to come upwith a staff car for the BritishFascist Party.
So sure, package up thefactory if you want to andline it with walnut burls andpolished geegaws. I’d ratherhave the 1930s version anda butler.
NISSAN ABSORBS ONE-THIRD OF MITSUBISHI
The global fuel-economyfalsifying crisis claimed
another victim this weekafter Mitsubishi admittedto fudging their mileagenumbers. Actually, what amI saying: we’re the victimshere, not the auto compa-nies. If they’re damaged by
their malfeasance, then tooflippin’ bad.
Nissan was quick toswoop in as Mitsu’s stockdived, buying up 34 per centof the stricken Japanesecompany’s shares. The two
companies already have astrong history of co-opera-tion, with Mitsubishi alreadysupplying several Nissan-badged cars in the Europeanmarkets.
So, while this doesn’t
mean that you soon won’tbe able to buy a Mirage anymore, it does perhaps meanthat there’ll be more overlapbetween the two brands.

Roomy, cushy back seat Corolla’s trump card
Toyota’s touchscreen-based infotainment system is simpler to use than competing systems, boasting a customizable homescreen that allows drivers to display their most-used icons. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH
genius here, in that it’s asingle upgrade to a basiccar that includes almosteverything you could wantwithout breaking the bank.Seventeen inches is a goodsize for a rim too; you canget 18s from the competitionfor a more aggressive look,but the bigger diameter rimscome with a rougher rideand higher tire replacementcosts.
ENVIRONMENTLet’s start in the back
seat, as this is the Corolla’strump card. Much roomierand cushier than the com-petition, this is the kind ofspace you used to get from aCamry not so long ago. Addin a stroller-swallowing 340litres of trunk space, and theCorolla isn’t just the friendthat picks you up from theairport, it’s the friend that’llhelp you move. That’s agood friend.
Up front, driver and pas-senger are rewarded withcomfortable seats that areexcellent on longer roadtrips, and a wealth of avail-able features (which you’dkind of expect, this beingthe tech package). Toyota’stouchscreen-based infotain-ment is rapid enough, yet
also simpler to use thancompeting systems. Alsolikable was the ability tocustomize the home screento show the icons you usemost often. Simple and easy.
And considering this isa Corolla, it’s pretty nicein here. If you grew upremembering the horriblemouse-fur surface of a beigeseat, the current car’s Softexleather and fake dash stitch-ing are huge leaps forward.This doesn’t look like thekind of car you buy from anentirely pragmatic sense,but because there’s actuallya twinge of emotion here.
PERFORMANCEHowever, at least on
paper, there’s little to beemotional about from theCorolla’s powertrain. Whilethe competition offersdual-clutch transmissionsand powerplants that relyon high compression or tur-bocharging for pizzazz, theCorolla gets a continuouslyvariable transmission and a1.8-litre four-cylinder enginemaking 132 horsepower and128 foot-pounds of torque.

Corolla great forlong road tripsmayonnaise-type-dressing. Sensiblecountry.
Still, pop the shifter in D and rolloff the line and the Corolla S respondswith respectable acceleration. If you’retackling an onramp, there’s a sensethat power is adequate rather thanfulsome, but only a gearhead willfind much to complain about. Toyotaeven panders to that demographica bit by offering a six-speed manualtransmission.
Once on the move, the real surpriseis how balanced the Corolla is throughsome rolling corners. It’s not a car thatencourages pace, the way a Mazda3feels a bit like a four-doored Miata, butit’s perfectly composed and competent.
The steering wheel is nicely weightedand utterly lacking in feel: this is some-thing we now say about the 3 SeriesBMW, so maybe we can overlook thenumb helm on a compact Toyota.
With well-controlled body roll andthe CVT’s tendency to keep revs low,the Corolla encourages a sane andsensible pace without the driver havingto slow for the sweeping corners. Thesense is that this’d be an excellent roadtrip car, economical and comfortablebut not boring.

Real-life driving nails economy targets
Aggressive styling is all the rage these days, and the Corolla has joined the growling masses without adding too much anger to the design.Things are much cushier inside with big, comfy seats that set the Toyota apart from the competition. PHOTOS PAUL MCGRATH
alloys, navigation, a power driver’s seat, semi-leather seats, a power moonroof, automatic airconditioning, keyless entry, and a push-buttonstarter. That’s good value.
Official fuel economy figures for the four-cylinder and CVT are 6.2 (litres/100 kilometres)on the highway and 8.2 city. Good news here:the Corolla relentlessly hits its economy targetsin mixed use driving. Granted, it encourages arelaxed driving style, but you can’t argue withgood real-world mileage.
GREEN LIGHTDependable, comfortable, and efficient;
upgraded look inside and out; delivers on itspromises.
STOP SIGNNo high-tech safety features; powertrain
delivers mileage results, not thrills.
THE CHECKERED FLAGThey’ve done it! A non-boring Corolla!
CompetitionHONDA CIVIC ($16,155)
Offering a bit more style and a bit more zipfrom available turbocharged engines, the Civicpromises more choice for Canadians. They alsomake a coupe version, if you’re not quite readyto settle for four-doored responsibility.
Still a bestseller, the Civic takes a provenperformance record and tries to shake thingsup with new technology. The Corolla’s tried-and-tested approach may seem less excitingon paper, but still offers plenty of what buyersare after.

HYUNDAI BUILDS ALIENS-STYLE EXOSKELETON
In Korea, factory workersare expected to be punc-tual, hard-working, polite,and capable of fighting offa Xenomorph invasion.OK, maybe the last is a bitof a stretch, but Hyundai
certainly seems to be takinginspiration from the Alienstrilogy of films. They’ve justcome up with a functioningrobotic exoskeleton, like thatused by Sigourney Weaverto fight the big bad AlienQueen.
The wearable robotallows workers to lift hun-dreds of kilograms worth ofheavy components, or carrysmaller 50-kilogram bits oververy long distances. It alsomakes the wearer look a bitlike a low-budget version ofIron Man.
EXPLODING ALARMWARDS OFF THIEVES
The car alarm as we knowit is a useless annoyancethat almost nobody paysattention to any more. If youhear the whooping of a sirenor the honking of a horn,chances are you’ll ignore it.A gun going off? Now you’vegot my attention, and myinterest.
That’s the idea behindBike Mine, a simple anti-theftdevice that incorporatesa blank shell and a triggermechanism. Intended to bestrapped to a motorcycle

or a bicycle, if a thief setsoff Bike Mine, he or she canexpect a 150 decibel blastand a cloud of smoke.
Given the amount of thiev-ery of bicycles that goes onin the Lower Mainland, wide-spread acceptance of BikeMine could soon mean theNorth Shore could sound abit like parts of Afghanistan.Still, if you’ve ever had yourbike stolen, the idea that ananti-theft device could givea thief a heart attack is acharming one.
FORD GT RECEIVES THOU-SANDS OF APPLICATIONS
Ford is making just 500examples of its mid-enginedsupercar, but has receivedmore than 6,500 applicationsfrom potential buyers. A lot
of people are going to bedisappointed, but then again,it’s this limited availabilitythat has kept the price of theprevious generation GT skyhigh.
Ford returns to Le Mansthis year, which is drummingup interest in the car, butlet’s compare the GT to theAcura NSX. The GT is manualonly, very limited in num-bers, and rear-drive only. TheNSX is a much more complexall-wheel drive turbochargedhybrid machine, a bit likea budget McLaren. It’s theformer that’s getting all theaccolades.
That’s a shame for Acura,but not surprising. Even ifFord never makes a dimeselling their GT, its popular-ity elevates the whole brand.They’ll sell a lot of EcoboostMustangs off the back of thisthing.
Watch this space for all thebest and worst of the automo-tive world, or submit yourown auto oddities to [email protected].
