A young North Shore confidence man was still a teen-ager when he embarked on a scam worthy of the CatchMe If You Can movie plot.

Eventually authorities did catch up with Adam AlexanderKeller – but not before he’d bilked nine people out of $625,000.

Now the fate of the smooth-talking conman will be deter-mined by a B.C. Supreme Court justice.

Keller, 27, is being sentenced after pleading guilty inNovember to one count of fraud over $5,000.

But as Crown prosecutor Kevin Marks described in courtWednesday, the amount Keller swindled out of victims in bothWest Vancouver and Alberta was far higher.

Marks urged B.C. Supreme Court Justice Austin Cullento send the fraudster to jail for three years, arguing Keller

In a Kasparov-worthy comeback, West Vancouver’s mostfamous chess players resumed their games last week-end, defying Park Royal’s edict and picking up a faithfulally in the process.

The loosely affiliated rook club packed up their kings andqueens after being banished from the food court under threat ofarrest April 1. After failing to resolve the dispute diplomatically– despite the intervention of West Vancouver Mayor MichaelSmith – the players set up shop at their usual tables.

“They just want to be treated like any other customer,” saidfrequent chess player John Fodor. “It should be their right toplay chess at the food court.”

In addition to the mayor, Fodor can now count theWestVancouver Presbyterian Church as a friend. The church is plan-ning to stand in solidarity with the players by staging a gentleprotest at the food court May 1 at noon, said Minister Glenn

Thought to have goneextinct 40 million yearsago, the only knowngardens of live prehistoriccreatures in the world arefound flourishing in thecoastal waters of B.C.

The ancient glass spongereefs were first discoveredin the Hecate Strait in1987 by a mapper with theCanadian Geological Survey.More pockets were mappedin 2001 along the Strait ofGeorgia, making the localwaters a rare habitat on theglobe.

When scientists con-firmed the existence of thereefs deep in B.C. waters, itwas like discovering “a herdof dinosaurs,” said SabineJessen, oceans director withthe Canadian Parks andWilderness Society, wholives in North Vancouver.

“We don’t really knowwhy they’re only here,” shesaid. “Except that somehowthe conditions must be justperfect for them. They relyon a lot of dissolved silica.Silica basically is glass. It’sdissolved in the ocean waterand likely comes from theadjoining mountains. Thatdissolved silica is critical totheir growth.”

The glass reefs foundnorth of the Georgia Straitare roughly the size of aneight-storey building. Thesediment at the bottom ofthese reefs has been datedto about 9,000 years ago,around the end of the lastice age.

Jessen said that thesereefs are in danger of beingshattered by prawn trawlingor crab trapping, and are atthe centre of a call for moremarine protected areas inthe Strait of Georgia.

“They have the con-sistency of meringue. Ifsomething hard touchesthem, they basically crum-ble,” said Jessen.

Ground fishing thatstirs up sediment can alsodamage the filter-feedingsponges by smothering

them. The reefs are ecologi-cally important because thesponges clean ocean waterby feeding on bacteria. Theyalso provide habitat foryoung rockfish and otheranimals.

Responding to theincreased attention thesponges have received,Environment Minister ofB.C., Mary Polak, introducednew legislation in Marchproposing protections forseveral areas in the prov-ince in need of preservation.

“I think that’s a reallygood recognition by theprovince of that reallyunique sea-floor creature,”Jessen said.

The legislation, ifpassed, will also protecta recently discovered reefof glass sponges southeastof Gambier Island. The billproposes a 136-hectareforeshore addition to theprotected area at HalkettBay Marine Park to safelyencompass the living reefs.Located in only 30 metres ofwater, the reef is uniquely

accessible for study andobservation. Most reefsgrow in waters too deepfor scientists and divers tosafely access.

“The problem is theprovince doesn’t havethe jurisdiction to imple-ment those measures sothey’ll need to work withthe federal government, inparticular the Departmentof Fisheries and OceansCanada, to put those kindsof measures in place,”Jessen said. “We hopethey’ll take that next step

and make sure those kindsof protection measures areput on.”

In 2015 the Departmentof Fisheries and Oceansset 150-metre buffer zonesaround nine reefs, whichinclude a cluster nearPassage Island off WestVancouver as well as nearDefence Islands in HoweSound, plus others closeto communities on theSunshine Coast and GalianoIsland.

The laws prevent harmfulfishing activity anywhere

near the fragile towers ofthe sponges.

Jessen credits JordanSturdy, MLA for WestVancouver-Sea to Sky, forsupporting the issue andrepresenting scientists’ con-cerns on the political stage.

“The expansion ofthe Halkett Bay MarineProvincial Park on GambierIsland will help protectthese reefs as it providesgreat opportunities forscientists and scuba enthu-siasts. I’m very pleased tosee the glass sponge gardenadded to our province’s pro-tected areas,” Sturdy said ina press release.

Now Jessen and the teamof marine specialists atCPAWS is hoping to pre-serve more of these uniquehabitats in Howe Sound andthroughout the Strait.

“We would like to see anetwork of marine protectedareas put in place,” saidJessen. “It does need to bethis collaborative effort.In some cases, if there’s aprovincial park put in place,

then (the province) needsto work with the federalgovernment and then thefederal government, forsome of the others, couldalso establish marineprotected areas. There’s anumber of tools that couldbe used.”

The most recent reefthrust into the spotlightwas discovered near PrinceRupert in Chatham Sound.While mapping the seafloor for an underwaterpipeline project, SpectraEnergy came across the12-kilometre colony of glasssponges lying in the way oftheir planned route. In anenvironment assessmentapplication fact sheet pub-lished by Spectra in 2014,the company committed toa 200-metre minimum bufferzone to avoid the naturalgrowth and set an examplefor other invasive projectsfor the respect of marinelife.– with files from Jacob Roberts/Coast Reporter and Jane Seyd/

HMCSAnnapoliswreckpopularwith sea lifeBRENT [email protected]

A year after it sank tothe bottom of HalkettBay in Howe Sound,sea life is colonizingthe wreck of the HMCSAnnapolis, accordingto the Artificial ReefSociety of B.C.

The society issued a jointrelease with the VancouverAquarium last week detailingthe species that have beenspotted and catalogued bydivers at the site. Amongthem: tubeworms, sea stars,anemones, mussels, prawns,rockfish, pollock andschools of perch.

“It’s really interestingactually. We’ve got membersof all groups of animals thathave settled in one form oranother except sponges,”said Donna Gibbs, researchdiver and taxonomist withthe Vancouver Aquarium.“Between those three siteswithin the studies I’ve done,there are 12 species that areunique to the Annapolis. Ithink that’s pretty interest-ing for a year.”

Prior to its controlledsinking, Annapolis saw morebattles in the courtroomthan she did on the waters,specifically over injunctionsalleging the ship’s anti-fouling paint would be toxic

to sea life.The aquarium’s study

should help allay thoseconcerns, according to RickWall, Artificial Reef Societyspokesman.

“We’ve always said anec-dotally how quickly thesethings get colonized. Thiswill be the first time we’vehad a scientific study thatwill document how quicklythey’re being colonized.

“We don’t need to bevindicated because we knewit was a good idea all along.We were just fighting theNIMBYs,” he said.

But the Georgia StraitAlliance, one of the groupsthat opposed the sinking,has not changed its positionon artificial reefs.

“This is really not news,nor does it have anythingto do with the concernswe have about the sink-ing of artificial reefs in theSalish Sea,” said ChristianneWilhelmson, the alliance’sexecutive director.

Artificial reefs likeAnnapolis may be depositingother toxic contaminantsin the water, despite theaquatic life gravitating tothem, Wilhelmson said.

“To my knowledge,nobody has looked at allthese other ships that havebeen sunk and looked atlong-term pollution and

toxin contamination,” shesaid. “They should have toprove there will be no long-term toxic contamination tothe environment.”

Wall said the society wasonly given the permit to sinkthe ship after a review bythe federal government.

“Environment Canadahas already ruled on thatand there is no toxins andthis study we’re doing withthe Vancouver Aquariumwill provide that objectiveevidence that they’re askingfor.”

The wreck meanwhilehas become quite a draw forlocal and tourist divers, saidKevin Breckman, co-ownerof Sea Dragon Charters inHorseshoe Bay.

Sea Dragon has takenabout 350 divers out to thesite, many of them repeatvisitors.

“It’s phenomenal. It’sfantastic. It’s very, very,very exciting,” Breckmansaid about the experienceof exploring Annapolis 30metres beneath the surface.“Everyone is thrilled.”

Divers who visit thesite and take photos areencouraged to contribute tothe Annapolis BiodiversityIndex Study by logging theirfindings and uploading theirphotos to vanaqua.org/act/research/annapolis.

deliberately set out to winthe trust of his victims beforetaking their money. Marks toldthe judge Keller pulled off hisget-rich scheme by passinghimself off as a wealthy stockmarket trader “well versedin foreign exchange currencytrading” who could make sig-nificant returns on investmentfor his clients.

Over the 18 months he ranthe fraud, starting in February2009, Keller told those hebilked that their initial invest-ments were guaranteed byhis company and that “theirinvestments were makingremarkable returns,” saidMarks. He also provided his“clients” with signed contractsand with investment sum-maries “which were madeup,” said Marks. “He wouldsign anything in order to

get the monies from theseindividuals.”

None of the money handedover to Keller was everinvested, said Marks. Instead,Keller used the money to payhis rent and his credit cardbills as well as transferringseveral hundred thousanddollars to his girlfriend, saidthe prosecutor. By the timeKeller’s clients started askingfor their money back, Kellerhad skipped the country.

Marks told the judge Kellerbegan scamming people withthe limo driver who pickedhim up from the airport, chat-ting about his fictitious lifeas a day trader for a foreigncurrency exchange. Soon thedriver handed over a cheque.

His next victim – aWestVancouver woman who knewthe driver – was the biggestloser in the fraud, handingover $341,000 in six different

cheques as a result of Keller’ssmooth talk. Keller assuredthe woman her money wassafe and her investment hadgrown tomore than $1million.But none of that was true.

In the interim, Kellerswindled additional moneyfrom her friends and familymembers. Others Keller hus-tled included four promotersof penny stock ventures whohoped Keller would invest intheir companies. But Kellerquickly turned the tables onthem, said Marks.

By the summer of 2010, allof Keller’s investors were try-ing to contact him, said Marks,but Keller moved to the UnitedStates before an investiga-tion was launched. Criminalcharges were eventually laid inAugust 2012 and Keller madehis way back onto police radarafter running into trouble withthe law in Colorado. He was

deported back to Canada inDecember 2013 after servingtime in jail.

Marks told the judgeKeller’s victims were lefthumiliated. In the case of thewoman who lost the mostmoney, Keller’s actions left herfinancially devastated, saidMarks. “She lost her life sav-ings,” he said.

Defence lawyer DougJevning urged amore lenientsentence for Keller to beserved under house arrest.Jevning said Keller has beensteadily employed as a home-based software engineer andargued letting Keller serve asentence at home would allowhim to earn money to payback his victims. The judgesaid before hemade a decisionhe would need to see moreproof of Keller’s work con-tracts. Sentencing has beenadjourned until May 11.

Inglis. “Maybe people willbring a Scrabble game or acheckers game,” he said of thechurch-in. “These are middleclass, law abiding citizens, so Idon’t think it’ll be too radical.”

The chess gatherings area bulwark against social isola-tion, a debilitating problemamongWest Van seniors, Inglisnoted. “People just don’t getenough (social interaction)and there’s no place to meetand greet. The mall would

seem like a logical place.”Mall patrons have been

delighted to see the resump-tion of the 50-year game,noted Fodor. “The (patrons)who have stopped by to talkto us have said keep it up…we love to see you play chesshere.”

Not everyone has comeback, however. Despite want-ing to support her friends,Ashley “Chess Girl” Tapp, 16,is afraid to go, according toher mother, Sophia Hague.“She has not played chess

since. It’s having its toll emo-tionally on everyone,” Haguewrote in an email.

Several players havefielded inquiries about takingtheir game elsewhere, such asWhole Foods Market, WhiteSpot, and Lonsdale Quay. Atleast one player is lukewarmabout shifting the game toanother venue. “We can goto theWest Van CommunityCentre, we can go here, wecan go there,” said GeorgeIngham. “We’re not down (atPark Royal) just for chess. …

We also go to the mall becauseit’s the mall.”

The collection of concen-trating intellectuals adds anesthetic aspect to the mall,said Fodor. “Chess is of coursevery mathematical, very logi-cal, but when you think aboutit, it’s also a thing of beauty.”

A petition on change.orgbeseeching Park Royal notto “turn your back on ourcommunity!” garnered 267signatures in its first week.

Management at Park Royaldeclined to comment.

Sentimental rentals

We’ve had quite a responseto last week’s story aboutpotential evictions andredevelopment at EmeryPlace in Lynn Valley. But

much like the controversial MountainCourt redevelopment, this is yet anothersymptom of a larger structural problem.Our most affordable family housing acrossthe North Shore is under threat of beingconverted into far more expensive condos.

The district’s council members and staffare hard at work developing an affordablehousing strategy. But, thanks to the lossof provincial and federal incentives in the1980s and ‘90s, there’s been virtually nonew purpose built rental housing comingon the market in 30 years. It’s a gapmunici-palities can’t possibly fill on their own.

Market rates for new rentals being whatthey are and ownership being out of thequestion for average-income families, we

risk seeing the North Shore becominga citadel for the rich. It also means thepeople who work here having to hop intheir cars and commute on a road networkwe already agree is beyond stressed.

We argue this is an unforeseen conse-quence of the district’s official communityplan, which foresees almost all new devel-opment happening in and around the towncentres. It’s sound urban planning but it’salso right smack dab where much of ourolder andmost affordable rental units aresitting.

Perhaps it’s time for a new strategy,one that targets more affordable unitsbeing built where single-family homes nowstand. This will come as sacrilege to thosewho love our suburban character but ifwe value keeping working families here,it’s something wemust consider. OCPsare meant to help holistically address oursocial problems, not exacerbate them.

NORTH SHORE NEWS 100-126 EAST 15TH STREET NORTH VANCOUVER B.C . V7L 2P9 NSNEWS.COM

There’s a fascinating– and nerve-wrack-ing – debate ragingacross the nation

right now.And North Vancouver is

right in the thick of it.Depending on how you

look at it, it’s about the envi-ronment or the economy.Unfortunately, it’s rarelyabout both. More on thatshortly.

Lately, the debate hascentred around the LeapManifesto, a documentthat calls for the rapidabandonment of fossil fuelsand a restructuring of theeconomy.

A resolution to studythe aptly named documentat the recent federal NDPconvention has divided theparty between those whostill see some value in aresource-based economy,and those who don’t.

Among those whooppose the leap into thepost-petroleum void are B.C.NDP leader John Horganand Alberta Premier RachelNotley. Notley’s trying to getoil sands crude to market

somehow, anyhow, andHorgan is already in deepbitumen for opposing theSite C electrical dam and thePrince Rupert LNG projectin the face of bitter disap-pointment from his party’straditional union supporters.

For us in NorthVancouver, this is notan abstract debate. TheNational Energy Board is cur-rently pondering approvalof the Kinder-Morgan TransMountain pipeline, which ifapproved, will at the veryleast change the view fromCates Park. The Westridgemarine terminal across from

the park will be expandedand the number of tankershipments in Burrard Inletwill go from five a monthto 34. And they’ll be carry-ing oil sands oil or sludge,as some prefer to call it.Imagine if there’s a spill. Ifyou think last summer’s tea-spoon of bunker leaking intoEnglish Bay was a disaster,you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Understandably, there’sa lot of opposition to thisidea – polls indicate thatonly 46 per cent of BritishColumbians support theKinder Mountain expansion.But those same people wantbetter education, betterhealth care, a new car, aweek at an all-inclusive someplace warm and maybe evena roof over their heads. Whocan blame them?

The trouble is, protect-ing the environment andprotecting the wealth thatprovides the above listof economic benefits arelinked.

Did you know, forexample, that Canada is the12th leading export nation inthe world? That’s good newsbecause exports are newdollars. We’re not just redis-tributing the dollars that arealready here; we’re increas-ing economic resources thatwill pay for improvementsto health care, education,social housing, good jobs,etc.

But here’s the not-so-good news. By far thehighest value Canadianexport is crude oil at $50+billion. Add refined oilproducts and the number

climbs to $77.8 billion. Thenext closest is cars, whichrun on petroleum, at $60billion. (If you’re a tree-hugger (and who isn’t?) youwon’t be pleased to knowthat chopped and ground uptrees account for nearly $20billion. But I digress.)

So, if we’re going to elimi-nate petroleum products in20 years, as called for in theLeap Manifesto, we’d haveto replace or cut our incomeby at least 20 per cent ofthe total. And the value ofCanadian exports is alreadydown: 9.3 per cent, a figuresome might use to justify theneed for expansion.

I’d like to think that allof the brave people whoformed a chain of resistanceagainst Kinder Morgan pipe-line expansion during theNEB hearings have a way tomake up the difference, butif they do, I haven’t heard it.And frankly, I have no ideahow we’d do it in 20 yearswithout plunging the coun-try into a deep recession.

The Leap Manifesto isno help. It suggests taxingthe rich. As we’ve learned,

the rich didn’t get that wayby allowing themselves tobecome a stationary target.And even if we can catch’em, hold ’em down and tax’em, what does that mean fortheir capacity to generatefuture wealth?

I’d be less anxiety-riddenif the great debate started toinclude a more careful refer-ence to real people with realjobs and what the rhetoricmeans. When you’re thinkingabout changing jobs andyou’re facing at least a 20per cent cut in income (afteralready tightening your beltby almost 10 per cent) whatdo you have to do?

Is there another way tofind that income? And if so,what?

Or do you stop livingabove your means?

And did you even knowyou were living above yourmeans?

Rental complex ‘family friendly’Dear Editor:

Re: Evictions Feared atEmery Village, April 10 story.

Like many other renterswho live in North Vancouver,every time I hear a story likethe one regarding EmeryVillage it sends shivers of fearupmy spine. It alsomakesmesad because I lived for severalyears at Mountain VillageGarden apartments which isadjacent toMountain Courtand I am sure is on the demoli-tion list.

The district has severalof these wonderful develop-ments, some of which aretwo levels and have fourbedrooms, two bathrooms anda family room; they also haveplaygrounds and a swimming

pool. Clearly there was oncea time when we had “familyfriendly” councils that ensuredthat families could have aplace to raise their familieswith equal amenities as thosewho could afford a home andthey considered renters ofequal value.

One can only wonder whythemayor and council oftoday can’t wait to tear thesevaluable andmuch lovedhomes down, forcing hundredsof people out of their homesand with little concern as towhat might happen to them.All they can see is massivedensity with shoe box sizeunits that families are alsogoing to love?

I lived in an apartment

when I hadmy first baby andI remember the panic I feltevery time she cried becauseI was so concerned she wouldannoy the neighbours. Now inthe present apartment buildingwhere I live I watch the pro-duction that takes place whenthe family down the hall haveto find a place for their son toride his bike— certainly noton the streets around here.

Then on the other side ofthe coin the district is allowingthe teardown of perfectly goodhomes along with every treeand shrub and allowingmon-ster homes that cover nearlyevery square inch of land.

What a double standard.Sue Lakes CookNorth Vancouver

Dear Editor:Thank you for your article

Evictions Feared at EmeryVillage, April 10. Although I amdisgusted by it, I am happy tobe informed.

Unfortunately, happy to beinformed is the only positiveemotion that came out of read-ing that article.

I am all for making a buck,investing, making money andthe like, but the real-estate

market is completely out ofhand. Not only has the “familyhome” become extinct as itis all about “Hey, honey. TheRealtor called. We canmakea fortune if we sell now,” butdevelopers like Mosaic (lack)a conscience while they bull-doze over dislodged familieslike Emery Village. Developon unused land, developon clear land, but Mosaic,kicking out single moms,

dads and children for profit ismonstrous. This conundrumcoupled with the massive mar-keting of Realtors on the NorthShore and the pure greed thatemanates from our city leavesan unpalatable taste in mymouth.

NORTH VANCOUVER’S MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT

JonathanWilkinson

We find a seat amid the morning rushat the Starbucks on 3rd and Lonsdale.It’s across from my constituency office.I’m grateful for the first coffee ofthe day. I’m with a friend who’s justasked about the “Post-Budget TownHall” meeting coming up that nightat the City library. The same Citylibrary which in January played hostto an overflow crowd when we helda meeting to listen to what peoplein North Vancouver said matteredmost to them, their families, and theirneighbours.

Closing the loopPart of my role as Member ofParliament for North Vancouver wasto deliver that mail to Ottawa whereour government was in the processof piecing together its first budget -informed by similar conversationsaround the country. Three monthslater, I was back home to close theloop on that conversation and reportthe results.

“Are you nervous about the meeting?”my friend asked. I answered I waslooking forward to it, actually. “Thefolks that come out tonight will likelysee themselves in this little book…That they’ve been heard… That this isa government, I believe, that’s doingwhat it said it would do.”

The little book in question, that Iplaced on the table, is the main budgetdocument – titled Growing the MiddleClass. It’s the size of a large paperback.And though it’s unlikely to ever finditself on the Bestsellers’ List, it saysas much as anything you’ve read sofar about what this government is allabout.

“It is likely a safe bet that few peoplein North Vancouver will have the timeor inclination to read all 269 pages,”I said as I offered my copy to my nowwary friend. “But the first 7 pagescover the entire story – the Table ofContents.

If you’re as skeptical as my friendwas, I invite you to take a look at thisbook for yourself: http://www.budget.gc.ca/2016/docs/plan/budget2016-en.pdf.

Largest single projectIn the 2016 budget North Vancouverlanded the largest single projectannounced: a commitment of $212million dollars to fund the federalportion of a new North Vancouver

Aworthy readyouwon’tfindon thebestseller’s list

Wastewater Treatment Plant. Withoutthat federal help, the City and Districtmayors had warned, local citizenswould be on the hook for significantlocal tax increases.

In addition, the 2016 Budgetrecognizes that municipalities don’thave the tax base to shoulder a thirdof the cost of major infrastructureprograms as has been required inthe past. So the Federal Governmentis upping its share to 50% leavingmunicipalities to come up with 17%.

Beyond infrastructure, NorthVancouver will also benefit from theBudget’s investments in research,development and innovation. It’sintended to enable the more rapidgrowth of tech enterprises of all sizes– many of which already call NorthVancouver home.

As a former clean tech CEO, youmight understand why I’m excitedabout that focus of the budget.

Social policy innovationBut I’m also a father. And that’swhy, if I had to pick the element ofBudget 2016 that speaks to my heartit would be the new Canada ChildBenefit. I believe it represents the mostsignificant social policy innovation ina generation. It means 300,000 fewerCanadian children will be living inpoverty in the coming year than theyear before.

I was very proud to be your Memberof Parliament at that post-budgetcommunity meeting at the City librarythe other night. Thank-you for thatcontinuing privilege.

City of North Vancouvercouncil bought local onMonday.

Council spent $5,000 ona year-long advertising cam-paign engineered by LocoB.C. to sway shoppers intomore locally owned stores.

While all politics maybe local, a great deal ofshopping takes place inmultinational stores whoseowners rarely grace NorthVancouver, according toKatja Macura, a spokes-woman for Loco B.C., anon-profit business alliance.

Compared to the rest ofCanada, British Columbia’sindependent retailers havethe third lowest marketshare in the country. Even aslight change in those figureswould create an economicboon, according to Macura.

When a buyer spendsa dollar at a locally ownedshop, 46 cents find their wayback into the local economy.When that same dollar isspent in a local branch ofa multinational company,only 18 cents make it intothe economy, according toMacura.

“If we shifted our pur-chasing more towards localbusinesses we would takeadvantage of those recir-culation effects but alsocontribute to creating over3,000 jobs and $94 million inwages in the B.C. economyby shifting just one per cent

of our consumer purchas-ing,” she said.

Nearly one-third of busi-nesses experience somepositive impact in com-munities with buy localcampaigns, according toMacura. She said she’s hop-ing the campaign boostssales at local businesses by3.5 per cent.

“Not only do consumerslike local products, theyactually prefer to buy frombusinesses in the provinceand even their city. They justneed to make it easy to findthose products,” she said.

Despite favourable wordof mouth around buyinglocal, the market share heldby local businesses in B.C.dipped approximately 15 percent between 1999 and 2010,according to Macura.

The pitch got a thumbsup from Coun. PamBookham, who said the pro-gram could be a way to helpsmall businesses who havebeen hindered by the con-struction boom in the city.

“I see this as just onemore way of perhaps assist-ing businesses like that thatare impacted,” she said.

The BC Buy Local cam-paign is a province-wideadvertisement that highlightslocal products throughawards, digital commer-cials and pink BC Buy Localstickers.

The non-profit businessalliance also organizes a BCBuy Local Week from Nov. 28to Dec. 4.

The Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh and Musqueamnations have signed a dealwith the province that willmake them the ownersand developers of argu-ably the most valuablereal estate in the country.

On April 8, the threeFirst Nations announced anagreement with the provincialgovernment to acquire theprovincial Jericho lands for$480 million.

The deal involves theprovince transferring twoparcels totalling 38.8 acres ofocean-view land overlookingJericho Beach inWest PointGrey to the three First Nationsin resolution of longstandingand overlapping land claims tothe area.

The deal will bring the totalarea of Jericho lands ownedby the three First Nations tomore than 90 acres. In October

2014, the three nationsacquired 52 acres of federalJericho land from the federalgovernment.

The three First Nationsplan to hold the land in feesimple and develop the prop-erty after an extensive publicconsultation process. Thedevelopment process will besubject to a City of Vancouverrezoning and developmentprocess.

Squamish Nation Chief IanCampbell described the dealas a historic and emotionalhomecoming for the threeFirst Nations. The lands arethe site of a former nativevillage known as Iyelmexw andwere “confiscated from us inthe early 1900s,” he said. “Thatwas not with our consent orwith compensation.”

Campbell said the FirstNations don’t have a precon-ceived idea of what futuredevelopment on the Jericholands might look like, andwill work with the City of

Vancouver over the next twoor three years to create avision for the area.

“We definitely recognizethe value of these lands ina global context,” he said,adding he hopes the eventualdevelopment will highlightelements of Salish culture andhistory. “We’ve been invisibleon our own lands for far toolong.”

He described the deal as“a new era of First Nationsrebuilding our economy.”

Campbell said the FirstNations don’t yet have a devel-opment partner but will comeup with a process for identify-ing and choosing potentialpartners for the project.

Campbell said the dealannounced Friday marks theculmination of “generations ofeffort to get to where we aretoday.”

Formal discussions withthe province began just over ayear ago, he said. “It’s been avery accelerated time frame.”

! For Better or ForWorse: Lynn Johnston’s Comic Art,Saturday, April 16, 11:45 a.m.-1 p.m., as part of the 17thAnnual North ShoreWriters Festival, April 15-16 at LynnValley Library. Free. northshorewritersfestival.com.

ERIN [email protected]

Lynn Johnston is happy to be home.The celebrated cartoonist behind the beloved long-run-

ning For Better or For Worse newspaper comic strip lived inNorth Vancouver from age two to 20 before going on to spendclose to four decades in Ontario, most recently North Bay.

In September 2015, the 68-year-old made a big move backto the West Coast and Johnston is currently pleased to besettling into her new home in Lower Lonsdale, the sameneighbourhood she grew up in.

“I dream about the alleyway behind the houses. Someof the houses are still the same. Of course I remember thehills and riding up to Ridgeway school on my bike and ridingdown the hills - and pedalling for heaven sakes - and missingthe corner and hitting fire hydrants and trees. We were reck-less. I remember my brother, at the age of three, taking hispedal car and going all the way down to the Erection Shop.. . (He) was brought back by police, happy as a clam,” shereminisces, last week during a break from unpacking.

Johnston also recalls an early interest in art. Starting atage eight, she would walk down to Third Street and catchthe bus to the Vancouver School of Art (now Emily CarrUniversity of Art + Design), where she took Saturday morningclasses. She remained a student into her teens, given someincredible opportunities, and officially started studying thereupon completion of high school.

“By third year I knew that’s not what I wanted to dobecause it was a serious fine arts college and I wanted todraw funny pictures,” she says.

Johnston’s dream of creating “funny pictures” definitelybecame a reality and her For Better or For Worse strip ranfrom 1979 to 2008, earning the artist countless awards andaccolades along the way, including being made a member ofthe Order of Canada in 1992 and receiving a star on Canada’sWalk of Fame in 2003. Last year, Johnston released a ret-rospective, For Better or For Worse: The Comic Art of LynnJohnston, co-written with her daughter Katie Hadway, andpublished to coincide with an international touring exhibitionof Johnston’s work through the Art Gallery of Sudbury.

While Johnston is retired, her comics are still in circula-tion and the strip is being rerun from the beginning, currentlyappearing in approximately 1,500 newspapers worldwide.

“It’s pretty neat,” she says, explaining For Better or ForWorse is among the few strips that have been rerun over theyears, an honour bestowed on very few series – The Far Sideand Peanuts included.

When Johnston embarked on the journey, she never imag-ined it would last so long.

“I just wanted to hold my space in the paper. I wanted tobe good enough that I could be worthy of that space and seeanother day and another week and another month. When I

Sketchesof amanic jazzgenius!Miles Ahead. Directed,starring and co-written byDon Cheadle.Rating: 7 (out of 10)

JULIE CRAWFORDContributing writer

Jazz maverick MilesDavis was a uniquepersonality, inspiring nosmall measure of rever-ence and revulsion alongthe way.

He beat his wives, afact often dismissed as amainstay of the times anda byproduct of artistictemperament. He habituallywalked offstage when hewasn’t playing (a habit Davishimself chronicles in hissong “So What”). Often whenhe did play, he turned hisback on the audience.

But his contribution to“social music” – Davis hatedthe term “jazz” – is singular,his style ever-evolving fromBirth of the Cool, to hard bop,modal jazz, and fusion. Heinfluenced John Coltrane,Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter,Herbie Hancock and KeithJarrett, among countlessothers.

It would be a disserviceto his untraditional artistry,then, to create a traditionalartist’s-rise-and-fall biopic.Miles Ahead instead takesplace during the five “lost”years of Davis’ life in the late‘70s, when Davis droppedout of music for a while. Itplays with facts and time,draws characters in and thenloses them to the periph-ery, and at times feels as

free-form as some of Davis’work. But overall it managesto get the essence of the manjust right.

Don Cheadle is the one-man show who brings MilesAhead to life, after a decadeof struggle. He makes hisdirectorial debut, co-wrotethe screenplay (with StevenBaigelman), produces andstars. And yes, that’s himplaying the trumpet. He fullyinhabits Davis, at his worstand at his most inspired.

Cheadle has talkedopenly about the need tocast a white actor in orderto get the film financed,thus the (fictional) relation-ship between Davis and aRolling Stone reporter (EwanMcGregor) looking to scorean interview at a time whenhis subject was holed up inhis home, drug-ridden andbedeviled by regrets fromthe past. Figuring promi-nently in those flashbacksare first wife Frances Taylor(Emayatzy Corinealdi),his muse and spouse for adecade, despite Davis’ vio-lence and infidelity.

Instead the reporterDave Braden finds himself allin, helping Davis score drugsand steal back a session tapefrom a wily promoter, a nar-rative contrivance that mayrankle purists.

Scenes from his past withFrances are romantic, coher-ent; the present is dominatedby chaos and pain. Graduallythe two merge as Davis isforced to surrender the truth

InMiles Ahead Don Cheadle focuses on five “lost” years in the ‘70s, when the trumpeterdropped out of music for an extended period of time. PHOTO SUPPLIED

Searching forwayout in a seaof trees

! The People Garden.Directed by Nadia Litz.Starring Dree Hemingway,Pamela Anderson andFrançois Arnaud. Screeningat Vancity Theatre as partof Canadian Film Week.For more information visitviff.org/theatre/series/canadian-film-week.

JEREMY SHEPHERDContributing writer

Would you cross anocean and traverse atreacherous forest to seethe one you love?Of course you would.

But what about some-one you only used to love,someone who won’t answerhis phone when you call,someone who leaves youstranded at the airport,someone who quite franklyneeds to get dumped?

If she can’t find me, shecan’t break up with mecould be the premise of aCurb Your Enthusiasm epi-sode; but steeped in the sad,surreal and sinister settingof Japan’s Aokigahara forest,The People Garden becomessomething else.

Sweetpea used to bein love with a rock singernamed Jamie, but now he’sa tie that must be cut. The

cutting, however, isn’t soeasy.

When Sweetpea (DreeHemingway, great-grand-daughter of writer andsporadic pugilist ErnestHemingway) first arrives inJapan the movie feels likeLost in Translation directedby Sergio Leone.

Hemingway wanders inand out of broad vistas likea discombobulated CharlesBronson, searching forJamie.

She ventures farther,getting into a car driven bya man she doesn’t knowbecause the driver, Mak,says he knows where Jamie

is.He’s in a forest.Located at the base of

Mount Fuji, the Aokigaharaforest is the place Japanesemen and women are knownto take their lives.

As she treks deeperwe hear a faintly melodicringing, like an alarm clockstuffed under two pillows.

The soundtrack anddream-like visuals will“hopefully haunt you,” sayswriter/director Nadia Litz.

Speaking from BuenosAires, Argentina, hoursbefore her movie’s premiere,the filmmaker downplaysthe notion Sweetpea’s quest

mirrors her own life.“I think every film has a

bit of autobiography in it,but then at some point itbecomes very much its ownentity,” she says.

Sweetpea’s obsession forJamie can be interpretedas how hard it is to reachsomeone, the labyrinthinenature of the human heart,or how hard it is to letsomeone go.

“When you finally makethat decision and you’reready to let someone go, it’soften the time when you’redrawn back into their orbit,”she says. “It’s almost as ifshe’s falling back in love

with him as she’s tryingto let him go. … There ishumour in that.”

There’s tranquility asSweetpea searches theforest, but never for long.Every time Sweetpea exits aroom someone talks aboutwatching her, what they’rereally doing in the forest, orwho they really are.

A young woman’ssojourn into a forest beyondimagination is reminiscentof Nathaniel Hawthorne’sYoung Goodman Brown, inwhich a simple man findshimself bedevilled by a for-est at night.

“The whole forest was

peopled with frightfulsounds -- the creaking ofthe trees, the howling ofwild beasts, and the yell ofIndians; while sometimesthe wind tolled like a distantchurch bell, and sometimesgave a broad roar aroundthe traveler, as if all Naturewere laughing him to scorn,”Hawthorne writes.

Instead of Hawthorne’screaks, howls and roars,Litz gives us a soundtrackcourtesy of Dirty Beaches,a.k.a. Alex Zhang Hungtai,a Taiwanese-Canadianmusician now living in LosAngeles. Hungtai, whoseperforming credits includeDavid Lynch’s dinner par-ties, injects Sweetpea’ssearch with equal measuresof menace and placidity.

We get a sense ofSweetpea but not neces-sarily an understanding.She dismisses the idea ofbreaking up with Jamie viatext as barbaric, but we getthe feeling her reasoningis as unlikely as HumphreyBogart’s claim he came toCasablanca for the waters.

“She has this sense ofmystery to her,” Litz says ofHemingway. “She’s a hardperson to get to know butI recognized something inthat, and I think it makes forthe best actors because youknow that there are layersyou can mine.”

The movie attemptsto combine dark humourwith the gravitas of humanemotion.

about their relationship inorder to get over his creativeblock and personal demons.

If the free-form natureof Miles Davis’ music is amystery to you, the impres-sionistic nature of the filmmay also be confounding. ”Ifyou’re going to tell a story,man, come with some atti-tude.” Cheadle the directortakes his cues from some

of Davis’ music, employingabrupt edits and herky-jerkycamerawork, suggesting thepain of a man plagued by hipproblems and decades ofheroin and cocaine use, andbursts of manic genius.

Sometimes it works andsometimes it doesn’t. Butalways on note is Cheadle’scommitment to his subject,and his performance is elec-tric, a must-see.

“You can’t live life andexperience only one,” Litzsays.

She started writing ThePeople Garden more thanfive years ago, back whenit would’ve been the firstNorth American movie todeal with Aokigahara. In themeantime, both a horrormovie and a Gus Van Santdrama have dealt with theinfamous sea of trees.

“The horror film wasn’treally on our radar, butwhen we found out (about)Gus Van Sant,” Litz stopsherself and laughs. “Thereisn’t a worst case scenariofor an indie film. … Unlessit was Sofia Coppola itcouldn’t have been worse.”

The movie also featuresan unlikely turn by PamelaAnderson. Yes, that PamelaAnderson.

Signe (Anderson) is a sexsymbol whose symbolism iswaning. She tries to ward offlooming irrelevance by com-porting herself with a forcedelegance, like a burlesquequeen in exile.

Litz was motivated tocast Anderson after catch-ing her appearance on TheEllen DeGeneres Show.

With the pixie haircut ofa Godard muse, Andersonappeared on the show todiscuss running the New

York Marathon to promote aHaitian relief fund.

“She was speaking withsuch great intelligence andself-awareness and wit,” Litzrecalls.

But at the end of thesegment, Anderson changedout of her demure blouseinto an almost see-throught-shirt and she was sprayedwith water while running onthe spot.

“As if to say, this is theonly way we want to seePamela Anderson run theNew York Marathon,” Litzrecalls.

That dismissive attitudefit with the idea of “wantingto transform in an environ-ment that insists you staythe same,” she says.

The movie premieres atVancity Theatre April 20.Bring a map.

FORT MYERS, Florida —When inventor ThomasAlva Edison first came tothis Gulf Coast munici-pality in 1885, withplans to make it hiswinter home, the peoplewho ran the place weresingularly unimpressed.The local paper reportedonly that, “Thomas A.Edison, the electrician, isvisiting here.”

Later, after Edison hadperfected the light bulb (hedidn’t invent it: English andFrench scientists had madeprimitive bulbs much earlier),he couldn’t even interestFort Myers in electricity. Heoffered to build a power sta-tion and light the streets, butcity council turned him downon the grounds that the lightswould keep cows awake andcut milk production.

The snubs are ironictoday, since Thomas Edisonis one-half of Fort Myers’ big-gest single tourist attraction.The other half is Henry Ford.

In 1916 Ford purchasedthe home next to Edison’s.The inventor and the automagnate were alreadyfriends. The two holidayedtogether in Fort Myers regu-larly until Edison’s death in1931.

The side-by-side housesand grounds to which Edisonand Ford fled to escape thenorth’s chill are now theEdison & Ford Winter Estates,a National Register HistoricSite, restored to look as theywould have in 1929.

The first thing that visi-tors see when they come tothe estates is a huge banyantree, brought from India as asapling around 1925; it nowcovers nearly half a hect-are and guides say it is the

second-largest banyan treein the world. (The largest isin Maui, Hawaii.) The banyantree is part of the eight-hect-are botanical garden Edisonplanted. It still containsmore than 1,000 plants fromaround the world.

In the guided tours andself-guided audio tours,visitors see exhibits thatchronicle the lives of thesetwo industrial geniuses, andwander through places whereEdison and Ford entertainedthe likes of Harvey Firestone,the rubber magnate, RansomE. Olds, of the Oldsmobileauto empire, and presidentsTeddy Roosevelt and WarrenG. Harding.

The centrepiece of oneexhibition is Edison’s 1914Model T Ford that the automan gave to Edison. Fordwanted to customize the carby adding side windows, butEdison refused. He liked itas it was because he didn’tneed to roll down the windowto spit out the tobacco juicefrom the cheroots he chewedon.

The Edison Ford Museumshows many of Edison’sinventions, such thingsas stock tickers, storage

batteries, motion-pictureequipment and, of course,the phonograph. In all, theguides say, he took out U.S.patents for 1,093 inventionsor improvements on earlierinventions. Not bad for aman who had only threemonths of formal schooling.His mother, angry that histeacher in Milan, Ohio hadsaid the boy “would neveramount to anything,” yankedhim from school and taughthim herself.

Another interesting noteis that Edison would havebeen Canadian, but for thefact that his father picked thewrong side in a fight. SamuelEdison, living in Ontario,took part in the 1837 UpperCanada Rebellion and fled toOhio when it failed.

Fashionablegalasupports a cause! Love Her Vancouver,Wednesday, April 20, 6 p.m.at the Fairmont Pacific Rim,1038 Canada Place, Vancouver.Tickets available at love-her.ca.

CHRISTINE [email protected]

North Vancouver’s FranciStratton had the chance toattend last year’s Love HerVancouver gala with hercompany and the fundrais-ing evening left a lastingimpression.

“I went to that event and thelove in the room, the excitement,the fashion, the wine – it was just avery fun evening,” she says.

So when she was asked to co-chair this year’s event, she didn’thesitate to jump on board.

The annual night of fashion,comedy, cocktails, auctions andmusic raises money for OvarianCancer Canada and takes placeWednesday, April 20 at theFairmont Pacific Rim in downtownVancouver. Similar Love Her eventsare also organized each year inToronto and Calgary, both of whichhave already happened.

Stratton, who serves as aNorth Vancouver school trustee,estimates last year’s sold-outVancouver gala raised more than$200,000. This time around, she’shoping for another full house andupping the fundraising goal to$250,000.

According to Ovarian CancerCanada, the disease is the mostfatal women’s cancer in Canada.Each year, approximately 2,800Canadian women are newly diag-nosed and 1,750 lives are claimed.

Because ovarian cancer is oftencaught in its late stages, 55 percent of those diagnosed die withinfive years. There is no reliablescreening test for ovarian cancer,nor is there a vaccine to prevent it.Ovarian cancer is difficult to detectand can be easily overlookedbecause its symptoms can signala variety of conditions. The mostcommon symptoms are bloating,difficulty eating, abdominal discom-fort and a change in urinary habits.

One of highlights of Love HerVancouver is the fashion show. Asin previous years, Marilyn’s of WestVancouver and Vicki GabereauShoes will be presenting springstyles on the runway.

Another fun feature, Strattonsays, is the ever-popular wine wall.Guests pay $20 for a cork, thenhave to find its match in hopesof receiving a bottle worth $100.There will also be silent and liveauctions with jewelry, spa days,hotel stays and more up for grabs,as well as a “man walk” where allthe men in the crowd strut therunway and donate money out oftheir pockets.

Hosting Love Her Vancouver forthe fifth year in a row is comedianJessica Holmes, who was “abso-lutely hilarious” last year, Strattonnotes. Holmes is best known forher work with the Royal CanadianAir Farce.

“It is an evening of fun, laughter,hearing the stories of people thathave either been diagnosed andsurvived, or stories of those thathaven’t,” Stratton says of the event.“Just bringing everybody togetherin a room to support, bring aware-ness and educate I think is hugelyimportant.”

A model sports a spring ensemble from Marilyn’s of West Vancouver at last year’s Love Her Vancouver event,which supports Ovarian Cancer Canada. Marilyn’s and Vicki Gabereau Shoes will once again present a runwayfashion show at this year’s gala on April 20. PHOTO SUPPLIED

Hullabalooshowcasesyoungslampoets

!HullabalooB.C.YouthSpokenWordFestival,April21 to23at theVancouverPublicLibrary.Partof theVersesFestivalofWords,whichrunsApril 21 toMay1.Visityouthslam.caorversesfestival.ca fordetails.

CHRISTINE [email protected]

Eighty high school stu-dents from across theprovince will engage ina war of the words whenthe Hullabaloo B.C. YouthSpokenWord Festivalreturns for its sixth yearnext week.

Among the 16 secondaryschool slam poetry teamsdescending on the VancouverPublic Library to compete atthis year’s festival are NorthVancouver’s Argyle andHandsworth schools, andWest Vancouver’s MulgraveSchool. All the teams are vyingfor the championship title andthe coveted Billy SharkspeareTrophy, which will be awardedthe night of April 23.

Beyond the competitionsegment of the festival, andperhapsmore importantly,Hullabaloo gives young poets aforum to showcase their talentand participate in workshops.

“It’s a bit of a mix of adevelopmental festival foryoung artists and a festivalthat celebrates youth poetryand puts youth in the spot-light,” says one of the eventorganizers JohnnyMacRae, aHandsworth alumnus. “It’s agreat environment where theyouth are really the ones whoare the loudest cheering foreach other.”

MacRae, a spoken wordartist himself who doesoutreach work in schools

through Vancouver PoetryHouse, sometimes hears fromteachers that slam poetry clubmembers get bullied becausetheir extra-curricular activity isconsidered so alternative.

“I think in some casesstudents are coming out ofenvironments that are not onlynon-supportive, but mighteven be outright hostile towhat they do,” MacRae says.“So to have the space wherethey get to be celebrated, theyget tomeet 80 other kids whoare equally as passionate, ornerdy, or however you want tolook at it, about the art form,is a really powerful experiencefor a lot of them.”

When the students aren’treciting their solo poems andteam pieces in the slam bouts,they’ll have the opportunity toattend workshops facilitatedby established spoken wordartists and watch all-stars takethe stage.

Headlining this year’s

Hullabaloo festival is Victoria’sJanet Marie Rogers, a Mohawk/Tuscarora writer from theSix Nations band in southernOntario and Victoria’s PoetLaureate from 2012 to 2015.Also performing are LishaiPeel, an award-winning poet,creative consultant andanimator, andWinona Linn, apoet, visual artist, performer,teacher and spoken wordartist currently based in Paris,France.

The festival aims togather poets from acrossB.C. and connect them into acommunity.

“It’s created the possibilityfor young writers to get reallyintensive development at anearly age,” MacRae says.

Though spoken wordmaystill be considered an alterna-tive form of artistic expression,MacRae says the oral art formhas entered themainstreamconsciousness. There’s nolonger the deep set battle

between “the stage versus thepage poets” that existed 10years ago, he says, and that’slargely thanks to the workbeing done at the high schoollevel.

“Spoken word has really

sort of carved out an air oflegitimacy for itself becauseof English teachers at highschools and because of theway the youth engage with itand recognize it,” he says. “Theyouthmovement has become

probably the strongest partof spoken word because, ifanything, I think a lot of youthrecognize spoken word andslam as a well-developed con-temporary art form that theyunderstand very intimately onan intuitive level.”

In MacRae’s high schooldays, there was no such thingas a slam poetry club. But hewas amember of his schoolimprov team and got intro-duced to spoken word throughhis drama teacher.

“I always wrote from anearly, early age and I alwayswas keen on performance,” hesays of what drew him to thegenre.

The thought of getting upon stage and sharing one’screative work can be daunting.For teens interested in givingspoken word a try, MacRaeencourages them to checkout the Vancouver PoetrySlam channel on YouTubeor come out to themonthlyVancouver Youth Poetry Slamevent at Café Deux Soleils onCommercial Drive.

“If someone has somethingthat they want to share, I justsay bring it to the openmicfirst. There’s always an openmic at youth slams, there’salways opportunities to readpoemswithout having themjudged.”

Poet Lishai Peel will perform at this year’s Hullabaloo Spoken Word Festival. Sixteen secondary school slam poetry teams willalso compete at the Vancouver Public Library on April 21 through 23, vying for the Billy Sharkspeare Trophy. PHOTO SUPPLIED

Liard RiverHot SpringsProvincial Park

Spring is a great time for aBC adventure, especiallywith a faltering loonie makingtravel south of the border socostly. But you’ll have sometough choices. There’sstill plenty of skiing andsnowboarding, but it’s alsotime to hit the hiking trails,launch the boat and breakout the camping gear.

BC boasts more than1,000 provincial parks andprotected areas – frompublic beaches, rare eco-systems and endangeredwildlife habitats to uniquegeography and pricelessFirst Nations heritage.

Whether you’re planninga day out with the kids,a photo safari or epicexpedition, here’s a short listof parks worth visiting.

BRING THE FAMILYVancouver Island offers awonderland of lush forests,ocean shores, seasidetowns and adventure-readyparks. A great choice forfamilies is Englishman RiverFalls Provincial Park nearParksville, where a stroll

through silent forests endsat two thundering waterfalls.

Nearby provincial parksinclude Rathtrevor BeachProvincial Park, renownedfor its long sandcastle-friendly beach, andMacMillan Provincial Park,where Cathedral Grove’smassive old-growthDouglas firs loom abovethe forest floor.

For star gazing and wienieroasts, hop a ferry to SaltSpring Island’s RuckleProvincial Park. The seasidesites are walk-in, but that’spart of the fun: wheelbarrowyour gear a few minutesfrom the parking lot and youhave spectacular oceanviews, easy hiking trails andkilometres of beachcombingwithout a car in sight. RucklePark is set on a century-oldhomestead and is still partworking farm.

WATCH FORWILDLIFEImagine watching mountaingoats and big horn sheepscampering along narrowalpine ledges, or spotting

elk feeding by a forest pool,or seeing huge flocks ofmigratory birds returning tovibrant wetlands.

Thompson Okanaganis best known for itsvineyard-studded hills andabundant orchards, but itslakeside bluffs, pine forests,grasslands and desertlandscapes are favouredhabitats for everything fromdeer and black bears tomuskrats, beavers andbirdlife.

Vaseux Lake Provincial Park,set on a lakeshore betweenPenticton and Oliver, isrenowned for its wildlife.Besides agile mountaingoats and big horn sheep,Vaseux protects a varietyof endangered species,including badgers, bats andnight snakes. Trails lead toneighbouring Vaseux LakeMigratory Bird Sanctuary.

Or head east to the parksof BC’s Kootenay Rockiesregion. Set among thelakes and snow peaks,Kikomun Creek ProvincialPark is home to a wealthof wildlife, including herons,

elk and one of BC’s largestpopulations of endangeredwestern painted turtles.

DIP THE PADDLEDesolation Sound is amagical destination forboaters, kayakers andscuba divers. Two ferryrides north of Vancouver,this island-dotted soundis lapped with clear, warmwaters, peppered withsnug coves and backed bytowering snow peaks.

Desolation Sound is hometo five parks, all withsheltered shorelines, andone of the best ways to seethem is by kayak.

For a very different paddlingexperience, head east tothe Cariboo Chilcotin. Thisvast landscape of ancient

forests, lakes and mountainranges is the setting for thelegendary Bowron LakeCanoe Circuit, a multi-dayexpedition that follows aseries of lakes, streams,rivers and portages inBowron Lake ProvincialPark. The area abounds withmoose, bear, beavers, ottersand birdlife.

SEEK OUTNORTHERNTREASURESPrefer to relax in a spa-likepool, surrounded by orchidsand wandering moose?Liard River Hot SpringsProvincial Park is threehours north of Fort Nelson.Set deep in BC’s northernboreal spruce forest, the hotsprings, one of Canada’slargest, creates a micro-

climate warm enough tosupport such tropical floraas yellow monkey flowers,ostrich ferns and orchids. Aboardwalk passes throughthe forest and a warm waterswamp, leading to an open-air pool where temperaturesstay a toasty 42-52°C yearround.

More unique geology ison hand further west atAnhluut’ukwsim LaxmihlAngwinga’asanskwhl Nisga’a.Also known as Nisga’aMemorial Lava Bed Park,this spot, north of Terrace,is the site of a massive vol-canic eruption that createdan almost lunar landscapeabout 250 years ago.

started, I just wanted to beas funny as I could be everyday and do something thatwas good every day. I had nofuture plans, I had no design,no method, nothing. Andthe only people I could drawover and over again was myown family and so it becamea family story,” she says.

It’s that family story thathas continued to attract fansas well as the normalcy ofher subjects, the membersof the middle-class subur-banite Patterson family - Ellyand John and their children,Michael, Elizabeth and April.

“I tried to be as realisticas possible with the upsand downs. It was from awoman’s point of view sothere was a lot of complain-ing,” Johnston laughs, “and alot of women related to that,a lot of families. What’s funnow is that people who werechildren then are adults nowreading it from an adult pointof view and their childrenare reading it.”

While For Better or ForWorse was grounded inreality, going so far as to seeits characters age, and sawJohnston draw from experi-ences in her own life, shealso enjoyed the opportunitythe strip provided to rewritehistory.

“You live in a fantasyworld. Things developthe way you want them todevelop. Even though ina writer’s experience onecharacter might take off anddo things you didn’t expectthem to do, still you havetotal control. But in real lifeyou have no idea if you’regoing to get a cold tomorrowor fall down the stairs oryour cat disappears. You justdon’t know what ups anddowns. And it’s very frustrat-ing because you say, ‘Damn,if this was the strip I wouldwrite it differently, it wouldbe a different ending,’” shesays.

A source of personalinspiration throughoutJohnston’s career wasPeanuts, written and illus-trated by Charles Schulz.

“One of the things that Iloved about Peanuts when Iwas a little kid was the kidsthought in adult ways. . . .My grandfather would say,‘No child speaks like that.’But as a little kid I knew thatwe thought that way. Littlekids have really profoundthoughts, especially whenit comes to what’s fair, andwhat’s right and wrong,and what’s mean and notmean, and things like that.You can’t put much over ona little kid. So I tried to domy work from a real littlekid’s point of view and a real

adult’s point of view,” shesays.

In the wake of her ownsuccess, Johnston went onto form a friendship withSchulz and the pair remainedclose until his 2000 passingat age 77 in Santa Rosa, Calif.

“We were very fond ofeach other. I was honouredto be his friend because hedidn’t make a lot of friendsin the industry. He wasgregarious, but he was alsovery private and he was verycompetitive,” she says.

As a professional cartoon-ist, Johnston continued tolook up to Schulz, motivatingher to produce quality work.

“I wrote and drew forCharles Schulz’s approvaland I really appreciated thefact that he liked my work.He didn’t edit me and hedidn’t advise me, but heconsidered me a peer, whichwas pretty wonderful,” shesays.

Johnston will offer furtherinsight into her work whenshe makes her debut at the17th North Shore WritersFestival, an annual celebra-tion of Canadian authorsorganized by the threeNorth Shore public librarysystems. This year’s editionis taking place tonight andtomorrow (April 15-16) atthe North Vancouver DistrictPublic Library’s Lynn Valleybranch. Festivities willget underway tonight at 7p.m. with the fourth annualLiterary Trivia Quiz Nighthosted by Grant Lawrence.

Saturday is the mainfestival day with eventsscheduled to get under-way at 10 a.m. with How toBecome A Successful IndieAuthor followed by a LocalAuthor Book Fair at 11 a.m.,Johnston’s presentation at11:45 a.m., a Lunch BreakLounge at 1:15 p.m., ThePower of Poetics: JordanAbel at 2:45 p.m., The Art ofTurning Personal Stories intoUniversal Truths: CamillaGibb in Conversation with JJLee at 4 p.m., and a Writers+ Readers Reception hostedby Lee at 5:30 p.m.

DAVID CHAOContributing writer

2016 welcomes the thirdgeneration of Audi’strendy looking, fun-lovingcoupe, the TT.

When the TT was firstintroduced in 1998, it madeheadlines thanks to its cooldesign, unconventionalinterior, and outstanding

performance.The only challenge is that

while the TT turned heads,it wasn’t quite up to par interms of performance whencompared against the likes ofthe Porsche Boxster.

Today, the all-new AudiTT promises to change thatimpression. The BMW Z4,Mercedes SLK and Porsche718 should be on high alert

because the new TT doesn’tjust make great promises, itdelivers.

DESIGNWhile the 2016 Audi TT is

all-new, it doesn’t look signifi-cantly different than the twoprevious generations. It doeshave a more masculine overallfeel, however, and thoroughlymodern design inside and out.

The Audi TT is still atwo-door, four-seat luxurysports car that is available asa coupe or convertible. It nowrides on Volkswagen’s MQBarchitecture and its body ismade from aluminum. Thesetwo aspects mean that thisgeneration is more than 100pounds lighter than the previ-ous model.

Coupe models feature a

sloping roof that extends allthe way to the rear hatch.Roadsters have a fabric roofthat is able to open and closein 10 seconds while travellingup to speeds of 50 kilometresper hour.

The front is dominated bya large trapezoidal grille. Theavailable full LED headlights

TT ready to takeon thebest

Entering its third generation in 2016, the Audi TT has grown from a trendy little coupe into a stylish and modern roadster that can take on the best that BMW,Mercedes-Benz and Porsche have to offer. It is available at Capilano Audi in the Northshore Auto Mall. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH

Nobody would consider the TT a family car, but the Coupemodel does offer usable cargo space for long trips.

TT losesweight, gains speed

The TT’s minimalist interior design can be jarring at first – where are the controls?! – butdrivers soon realize the cleverly functional Audi is ahead of its time. PHOTOS PAUL MCGRATH

are sharp and have an asser-tive, animalistic look.

Paying homage to theoriginal TT, this generationfeatures prominently roundedwheel arches and centrallymounted exhaust outlets.

Inside, the cabin is stylish,and clever use of moderntechnology allowed Audidesigners to give the TTa minimal, simple layout

without sacrificing usability.

PERFORMANCEPowering both Coupe and

Roadster models is a turbo-charged 2.0-litre four-cylinder.The TT shares this enginewith others in the VW family– not that there’s anythingwrong with that, since thismotor is one of the mostrespected in the industry.

While on paper its 220horsepower and 258 foot-pounds of torque doesn’tstand out, it works extremelywell in the real world. It’scapable enough to propelthe Audi TT from 0 to 100km/h in just 5.6 seconds,which is a world-class coupeperformance.

If that’s not fast enough foryou, the higher performanceAudi TTS boosts horsepowerto 292 and torque to 280foot-pounds while still usingthe same basic engine design.Available only as a coupe,the 0-100 km/h time with thissetup is an astonishingly fast4.9 seconds.

All TT’s come with Audi’sfamed quattro all-wheel drivesystem, which was freshlyupdated. This allows the TTto corner faster and smootherthan in the past. Body roll isalso reduced, and while steer-ing feel is light, it is preciseand direct.

Managing the power in allTT models is Audi’s six-speedS tronic transmission. Likeits AWD system, its transmis-sion is well known as one ofthe best in the industry. Thesystem shifts quickly andeffortlessly, without takingaway any feel or character.

Audi drive select is alsostandard. Changing thedrive modes alters the TT’scharacter considerably.Comfort mode makes drivingon the highway easy, whileselecting Dynamic makes thecar more responsive and the

suspension firmer.Overall, Audi achieved its

goal of making the TT a truesports car. While it certainlylives in the shadow of the R8supercar, the TT is easier tolive with as a day-to-day car,and it can still be fun on atwisty road.

ENVIRONMENTAt first glance, while the

cabin is certainly luxurious,the minimalistic design bringsconfusion – where are the con-trols? But it doesn’t take verylong to realize the Audi TT’sinterior is ahead of its time.

Where most moderncars have a touchscreenin the centre stack, in theAudi TT that area is notablysparse. Instead, all pertinentinformation is displayed onthe 12-inch screen in theinstrument panel right infront of the driver. It is highlycustomizable, and featureslike navigation and the backupcamera can be viewed as fullscreen or split with otherdetails.

The centre of the dashhouses three round, elegantair vents. While they have aclassic look, they are revo-lutionary because they alsocontrol the climate controls,including the heated seatcontrols, as one unit.

On the topic of vents,Roadster models have heatersin the seat backs to keep yourneck warm on those cold dayswhen you still want to drivewith the top down.

The front seats in the TTare immensely comfortable.Ergonomics are excellentand even tall drivers will findplenty of room.

While nobody would con-sider the Audi TT a family car,the coupe can accommodatesmall children in the back in apinch. Keep in mind, they willgrow out of them quickly andadults will only want to use

them in an emergency.For longer trips, the TT

offers reasonable practicalitywith 340 litres of cargo spacein Coupe trim. Roadstersare obviously not so practi-cal, with very limited trunkcapacity, especially with thetop down.

All-in-all, the Audi TT’scabin is distinctive and classy.The interior is one of the bestin the market, not just in thissegment.

FEATURESThe starting price for the

Audi TT Coupe is $51,600,while the TT Roadster beginsat $55,600. Pricing for thesporty TTS Coupe starts at$61,900.

Standard equipmentincludes keyless entry withpush-button start, heatedfront seats, automatic climatecontrol, auto-dimming interiormirror, heated exterior mir-rors, light and rain-sensingheadlights, rear parking sen-sors, and Bluetooth.

Additional features, avail-able as options or on highertrims, include navigation, arearview camera, blind-spotmonitoring, active lane assist,and a Bang & Olufsen soundsystem.

Fuel efficiency numbers(litres/100 kilometres) forboth the Coupe and RoadsterTT are 10.1 city, 7.8 highwayfor 9.1 combined. The TTSreturns 10.3 city, 8.6 highwayand 9.5 combined.

THUMBS UPThe TT has a futuristic

environment and Audi’s quat-tro provides driving thrills.Both combine to make the TTunique in this segment.

THUMBS DOWNPurists may not consider

the TT simply because it is

Words to start a dream: I know a guy....call a powerplant, and thehandling was compromisedwhen the front end of the carwas jacked up for bumperregulations (actually, nobodyseems to know whether itwas bumper regulations thatcaused the change or some-thing else).

Dave The Second’sDeLorean is about as niceas you’re going to get, witha well-tuned engine and thesuspension dropped backdown where it’s supposedto be. Even so, we’re talk-ing about a car that wouldbreathe hard trying to keep afirst generation Miata in sight.Where dream cars are con-cerned, however, that doesn’treally matter. I’ve driven DaveII’s DeLorean myself, and theexperience mostly boils downto your brain shouting, “I’m ina DeLorean! Great Scott!”

Later in the week, I wasprivileged to have a go in adifferent sort of dream car, aToyota 2000GT. This is a rarebeast indeed, and far morevaluable than the DMC-12.A rough estimate would be$1.4 million or so, or enoughto buy a weevil-infested onefloor bungalow on the NorthShore. Funny how our hyper-inflationary real estate tendsto make the exotics lookreasonable.

The 2000GT has evenbetter provenance than theDeLorean, including a cameoas a Bond car in the filmYou Only LiveTwice. That’sthe one wear Sean Connerydresses up and pretendsto be a Japanese man.“Shayonara.” Not, it has to be

said, a particularly realisticmovie, but at least there’s agyrocopter.

As for the 2000GT thatappears in the film, thatwasn’t just the dream car forsomeone to hang on theirwall, it was the dream of anentire company. If you wereToyota in the 1960s, purveyorof workaday boxy runabouts,the svelte lines of the 2000GTwere the future you dreamed.Sure, you produced econo-boxes, but one day you mightbuild the finest cars in theworld.

Right after I drove the2000GT (very, very care-fully – $1.4M is $1.4M), I waslucky enough to have a go in aLexus LFA. If the 2000GT wasthe future Toyota dreamed of,then here it is arrived, scream-ing all the way. The LFA is nota perfect car in many ways,but if its banshee wail doesn’traise the goosebumps onyour arm, please seek medicalattention immediately.

Both the LFA and the2000GT belong to ChristianChia, president of OpenRoadAuto Group. He’s an inter-esting mix of affability andperfectionism (he stoppedmid-sentence while waxingrhapsodic about the LFAbecause he spotted a littlesmudge on a GS-F a customerwas about to pick up), and hetells me of a childhood withCountachs and whale-tailedPorsche Turbos plastered onhis walls. His nearly-driving-age daughter, he says, dreamsof Mercedes G-wagens andJeep Wranglers.

Some dreams are attain-able, and some are not, andsome are somewhere in

between. The DeLorean, ifyou’re patient and careful,is absolutely something youcould put in your driveway. Iwill bet you that Dave the firstwent immediately home andstarted trawling the auctionpages looking for one. He’s gotthe garage space, if he knocksdown a wall or two.

And as for me, my dreamcar’s sadly out of reach. I’veloved the Ferrari F40 since Iwas ten and it showed up inone of the very earliest cock-pit-style driving games, TestDrive II. The game, which wasprogrammed in Vancouver,showed a blocky version ofthe Sea to Sky Highway, andoff you dashed in a pricelessFerrari. I have a 1:18 scale

model, and a book or two, anda Lego version.

Sadly, the F40 is morealong the lines of the 2000GTin terms of value. I’ll neverown one outside of a lotterywin. Or maybe I could sell myhouse and try raising a familyin one? Wait, no. Even I thinkthat’s a bit silly. The chancesof somebody letting me driveone are pretty slim too.

But on the other hand, Iknow a guy. Name of Fred. Hehas an F40. You never know.

A46 | TODAY’S DRIVE nsnews.com northshorenews FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 2016

While somewhat outdated, the dynamic BMW Z4 rides theline between luxury cruiser and sports car. PHOTOS SUPPLIED

Porsche has grouped the Boxster roadster and the Caymancoupe under its historic 718 badge. Both remain fantastic.

The SLK, living up to the Mercedes-Benz reputation, focusesmore on comfort than driving dynamics.

not available as rear-wheeldrive or with a manual trans-mission. If you want a “pure”sports car, you may want tolook at the Porsches.

THE BOTTOM LINEIf you want a fun coupe

or roadster that boasts class,style and modern technology,the 2016 Audi TT has all thatand more.

CompetitorsBMW Z4

The BMW Z4 splits thedifference between luxurycruisers and pure sportscars. Its dynamic personalityand luxury appointments arehighlighted by the retractablehardtop. The Z4 is somewhat

outdated unfortunately.Available in three trim lev-

els, starting prices range from$56, 200 to $77,900.

MERCEDES-BENZ SLKLike the BMW Z4, the SLK

has a retractable hardtopallowing it to be two cars inone. However, true to theMercedes-Benz name, itfocuses more on comfort thandriving dynamics.

Starting prices range from$58,100 to $82,200 across theSLK’s three trim levels.

PORSCHE 718Going forward, Porsche

has grouped the Boxster andCayman under its historic 718badge. If you want a roadster,go for the 718 Boxster, but ifa coupe is more your style,check out the 718 Cayman.Both are benchmarks in thissegment.

The 718 Cayman startsat $59,900, whereas the 718Boxster begins at $63,[email protected]
