Bear-attractingbramblestangledin red tape

N. Van City council divided over OCP

MARIA SPITALE-LEISKContributing writer

As City of NorthVancouver councilpainstakingly scrutinizedthe document that willdictate the next 30 years ofplanning and developmentfor themunicipality, onething was certain: therewas hardly a consensus on

what should be done.Council plodded through

each neighbourhood in thedraft ofcial communityplan, during the 90-minutedebate Monday night,targeting mainly density.

Perhaps the mostcontentious piece of theplanning puzzle is the EastThird Street area.A group ofMoodyville residents joined

neighbourTrevor Gorety,who lives on the north sideof the 700-block of EastThird Street, to supportsix-storey midrises withcommercial storefronts atground level.

But Coun.Guy Heywoodmoved a wholesale changefor EastThird suggestingdensity only take the form oftownhouses.

Its unfortunate, butmost of our OCP processseems to be taken up withthe periphery of our concern,

which is really the kind ofstyle of housing in theThirdStreet area as opposedto the core, where we areaccomplishing the citysmain goals for affordability,density, potential amenity,said Heywood.

He further explained, itwould not be prudent for thecity to allow a 350 per centincrease in density alongthat stretch of EastThirdStreet, without rst seeinghow the area takes shapeafter the Low Level Road

construction is completedand trafc patterns arenormalized.

Coun.Don Bell broughtup trafc safety concerns inthe area. My concern abouthaving commercial on this is,whereThird Street turns, itbecomes a more hazardousturn in terms of trafc.Andto try and provide parkingfor commercial at that pointmay be a problem, he said.

Mayor Darrell Mussattoand Coun. Linda Buchanan,however, were not on board

with lower density.I dont think its

consistent with what we areproposing along that transitcorridor, Buchanan said.Its far too low of a density.The slope in those areas issignicant enough that thekind of density on that streetwont be a problem for thosebelow.

During an OCPpresentation earlier in theevening, the citys director

District nixes Braemar homes

[email protected]

District of NorthVancouver council hassaid non to a proposedredevelopment of awooded area at theedge of cole Braemarelementary school.

WedgewoodDevelopments was seekingto buy the unused plotof land from the NorthVancouver school districtfor $2.4 million and buildseven single-family homes.But council shot the pitchdown in a 4-3 vote Mondaynight.

The project foundcondemnation from CalderAvenue residents whoargued the area was alreadyinundated with trafc asparents drive their kids toand from the school eachday. Other opponentsin the neighbourhoodfought the development onprinciple that lands in thepublic trust shouldnt besold and that the homeswould be too close to theschool.

While all of councilwas sympathetic to theschool boards need toraise money with mostof the blame heaped onthe province and decisionsby previous school boards the majority on councilfound it was just notthe right project for thecommunity.

Maybe we can comeup with something on thesite that is a little smallerand moved a little fartheraway from the school boardfor the site but its tough.Its just not a great piece of

property to be developingand attempting to divorcedfrom the day-to-dayoperations of the school,said Coun. Mike Little.

But Little also had somewords for some of theneighbours who came outto argue against the projecton the grounds that publicland is sacrosanct.

The neighbours wereall coming out and sayingthey supported this as apark use. It was publicproperty. Defend thepublic. Defend, defend,defend. And yet when Ilook at the satellite photos,I can see how many ofthose neighbours areencroaching on the park,extending their backyardsby digging out trees androots and spaces and

extending their backyardsinto the park and are reallyjust genuinely getting aprivate benet out of it. Itsvery frustrating to see. Ifyou are committed to thatbeing a public space, getoff it.

The population ofschool-aged children willbegin to go back up atsome point, making schoollands too important tosell, argued Coun. DougMacKay-Dunn beforecasting his nay vote,

Believe me. It willcome, as the night followsthe day, he said.

Others, however, spokehighly of the proposal andthe developer, who hasan impeccable record ofcommunity consultation.

Its an excellent

proposal. It really is. As faras quality of proposals thatcome before this council,its rst rate, Coun. RogerBassam said.

School board vice-chair Cindy Gerlachcalled the council votedisappointing and said itleaves a lot of unansweredquestions like where theschool board is going tond another $2.4 millionto help fund the rebuild ofArgyle secondary.

Because that moneywas earmarked, were nowgoing to have to look atnding other ways to raisethat money, she said.

The board is still in talkswithWedgewood aboutwhether there could beanother proposal.

That portion of the

property is untended,making it off-limits tostudents at the school,Gerlach said, addingthe school board is nowlooking into whetherneighbours are using theland without permission, asLittle suggested.

Gerlach also expressedfrustration the schooldistrict must clash withresidents when it has a dutyto provide education forstudents across the district.

I totally get howcommunities valuewhats going on in theirneighbourhood. I totallyunderstand that, but wealso have to look at it in thebigger picture. Its all ofNorthVancouver for us. Itsnot just one community,she said.

The B.C.Court ofAppealhas upheld the rst-degreemurder conviction of aNorthVancouvermanwho was founding guilty ofkilling a fellow drug dealerwith a hatchet.

In a decision handeddownWednesday, a panelof three appeal court judgesrejected Babak Naja-Chaghabouris appeal ofhis conviction, ruling therewas sufciently reliableevidence that Naja-Chaghabouri was the personwho killed Ronak RonnyWagad on Feb. 23, 2009.

Justice Daphne Smithwrote she was satised hisintended actions in strikingthe victim on the head andneck with a hatchet werean essential, substantial andintegral cause of the victimsdeath.

In 2012, B.C. SupremeCourt Justice BarryDavies sentenced Naja-Chaghabouri to a mandatoryterm of jail for life with nopossibility of parole for 25years after nding him guiltyof the murder.

Davies sentenced asecond man, CharlesAnthony Leslie, 34, to lifein prison with no possibilityof parole for 16 years after

nding him guilty of second-degree murder in the killing.

The sentences follow alengthy trial in which bothmen pointed to the other asresponsible for the gruesomekilling.

Davies ruled both menwere ultimately responsibleforWagads death, butNaja-Chaghabouri was theone who wielded the hatchetfor the fatal blows afterLeslie refused to go throughwith the killing.

Naja-ChaghabourikilledWagad with a hatchetat a remote site near theFraser River just one weekafter winning an appeal of adeportation order.

Key evidence in the trialcame fromTravisWinterlik,an accomplice of Naja-Chaghabouri and Leslie,who helped lead policetoWagads remains andtestied in exchange forimmunity from prosecution.ButWinterlik did not witnesswho had actually carried outthe killing.

Ali RezaAlandari, whowas Naja-Chaghabourisroommate in NorthVancouver, testied thatNaja-Chaghabouriconfessed that hed killedWagad, saying he had hit theman in the head with an axe.

Another witness, whoseidentity is protected by a

publication ban, describedhow Naja-Chaghabourisaid hed madeWagad kneelon the ground in front of thecar before taking the hatchetto his head.

In appealing hisconviction, lawyers forNaja-Chaghabouriquestioned the reliability oftestimony given by thosewitnesses, noting all weredrug-addicted and hadcredibility problems.

In upholding theconviction, the appeal courtultimately found the criticalparts of their evidencewere backed up eitherby independent physicalevidence or other testimony.

JANE [email protected]

The sometimes-lengthyprocess of weighingdevelopment proposalsin NorthVancouver anduncertain outcome ofthose decisions is one ofthe factors thats leadingto delays in a rebuild ofArgyle secondary.

The school district iscounting on cash fromseveral land sales to provideabout $9 million neededfor the project to go ahead.Those sales agreements arecontingent on developerswinning approval of theirprojects from the Districtof NorthVancouver council which this week nixed adevelopment plan for theformer Braemar school site.(see story this page)

Before the province willeven consider letting theschool district borrow moneyfor the project, the schooldistrict must also pay backa remaining $6.2 millionof debt to nance rebuildprojects of Sutherlandsecondary in 2007 andWestview elementary in2009.

The ability to do that istied to a $5.1-million landsale contingent on approvalof another developmentproposal for the site of theformer Ridgeway Annex inthe City of NorthVancouver.

The ministry is watchingvery carefully how weproceed through our landmanagement strategy.Thatwill be key, said GeorgiaAllison, secretary-treasurerfor the school district.

Allison said shes notworried that the schoolproject is in jeopardy, butadded the public processinvolved in the developmentdeals means everythingtakes time.

A seismic upgrade forArgyle was announced priorto the last provincial election.Last fall, NorthVancouverschool trustees opted to askthe province for authorityto completely rebuild theschool instead at anadditional cost of anywherefrom $9 million to $15million. Since then, however,there has been no formalagreement to proceed.

Capital FWhats it take to get a schoolbuilt? If its in NorthVancouver, apparently thesedays it involves selling off land of formerschool sites to raise the money.This pits the school board and the

interests of students against neighbourswho dont want to see more residentialdevelopment.District and city council nd themselves

in the middle, having to make zoningdecisions in their jurisdiction that impactwhether or not students have adequatefacilities.We saw this awed process fail this

week when District of NorthVancouvercouncil gave the school district plan torebuild Argyle secondary a $2.4-millionsetback by turning down seven single-family homes on a wooded corner ofBraemar elementary.It is the Ministry of Educations

responsibility to fund school capitalprojects but the trend fromVictoria inrecent years has been to put up the bareminimum amount of funding, schedule aphoto-op and leave the school districts tobe creative in nding the cash to nishthe project in a way that makes nancialsense.The latest, let-them-eat-cake idea from

the province is funding capital projectsout of operating budget surpluses asif school districts bank accounts areoverowing with money.This essentiallypunishes boards for being nanciallyprudent.North Shore homeowners who paid

their annual municipal taxes have alllikely noticed a sizable amount on the linelabelled school taxes. Unfortunately,that money goes directly to the province.If this is how schools are made, we give

the process an F.

Gambier logging delay welcomeDear Editor:

Re: Gambier IslandWoodlots Put on Hold,July 2.

I am writing on behalfof the Consulting Forestersof BC to support the B.C.governments decisionto delay awarding thewoodlots (on GambierIsland) for a few weeksin order to help peoplewith concerns betterunderstand the woodlotprocess, as published inyour paper.

As forest professionalsengaged in the ongoingmanagement of B.C.snatural resources,we believe that thegovernment is committedto striking a balance withthe multiple resourcevalues on the Island,including management of

the working forest, and toaddress public input thathas been requested andreceived for this area.

Gambier Island is partof B.C.s working forestand we are proud to be apart of B.C.s sustainableforest sector.The survivalof forest consultingbusinesses and the localjobs we generate aredependent on GambierIsland as well as the manyother working forestsacross B.C.

It is disappointing,however, to see themisleading rhetoric byPeter Scholeeld thatstates combined withan existing woodlot, ifthe new woodlots areapproved, it would see25 per cent of the islandunder active logging,

suggesting that it will all belogged immediately.Thisis simply not true as onlya fraction of any woodlotarea is logged on an annualor periodic (harvestingevery ve years) basis.

Its time to acknowledgethat some people willnever be happy with forestresource developmentdespite the efforts ourmembers and the B.C.government have putinto ensuring sustainableresource development andstriking a balance withB.C.s many stakeholderneeds.

The forest industry anda big piece of the B.C.economy relies on theentire working forest. Ifwe continue to reduce oursustainable working forest,B.C.s coastal communities

will be giving up real jobsand lose millions of dollarsof government revenuethat pays for hospitals,doctors and teachers (yes,the ones that are on strikedue to a lack of fundingfrom government).

We strongly encouragethe residents of GambierIsland and the GambierConservancy to engagewith government whilethe award of woodlotsis delayed, to fullyunderstand woodlotmanagement and in theend to support local jobsby allowing the GambierIsland woodlots to beawarded.Bruce BlackwellPresidentThe Society ofConsulting Foresters ofBC

Dear Editor:In response to the July

6 letter to the editor RisingTaxesWreck Dream, Id liketo point out that the averagetax increase on a residentialproperty in 2014 in thedistrict is 2.25 per cent,which includes one percent dedicated for deferredinfrastructure maintenance.

The signicant overalltax increase that someresidences are experiencingthis year is due to theeligibility threshold forthe $570 Home OwnerGrant having beenlowered by the provincialgovernment. Over 1,650district residences werenegatively affected by thisarbitrary decision, whichresulted in more than

$940,000 in additionalschool taxes being paidby district residents to theprovince.We have expressedour frustration to theprovince that this has hada signicant impact on anumber of our residentsand that it is unclear to ushow this decision supportsthe provinces familiesrst agenda.

One of the greatestchallenges for municipalitiesis that the single propertytax notice each residencereceives includes taxescollected on behalf of theprovince, regional districtand other agencies.RichardWaltonMayorDistrict of NorthVancouver

Anyone who has beenpaying attention to theevolution of First Nationsrights and powers inB.C. over the past 20years or so should notbe surprised by therecent Supreme Courtof Canada decision thatrecognized a specicaboriginal title.

Nevertheless, given thedire warnings from someof the economic chaos thatwill result from the historicdecision, there is reasonto be concerned about itsimpact on B.C.s economy.

The high court resolvedwhat started out in 1983as a dispute over a logginglicense but which evolvedinto a landmark case aboutthe aboriginal title rights ofa specic First Nations, inthis instance theTsilhqotinNation in the Chilcotinregion of the Interior.

The concept ofaboriginal title was rstestablished by the SupremeCourt of Canada morethan 40 years ago, in theCalder vs. B.C. case.Therecent decision representsthe rst time in history thehigh court has formallydeclared aboriginal title toexist in a specied area.

The decision potentiallygives First Nations thatestablish title (not an easytask) a veto over activitieson their land.Where titleis established, the consentof the First Nation bandin question must rstbe gained before thoseactivities can proceed.

The high court did

provide an escape clauseof sorts for governments.If a government meets athree-pronged test, it canoverride the lack of FirstNations consent.

The test is apotentially rigorous one:a government must fullyshow it has consultedand accommodated FirstNations interests, theproposed action mustbe compelling andsubstantial for the goodof the public (whichincludes First Nations),and that the government isconsistent with its duciaryobligations to First Nations.

But the court alsoreferenced a previousdecision (Delgamuukw)in citing specic activitiesthat can potentially infringeon aboriginal title, andthey include forestry,mining, infrastructure,environmental protectionand the general economicdevelopment of the interiorof British Columbia.

So while the decisionprovides clarity and,

eventually, certainty overissues pertaining to FirstNations rights and powers,it didnt vastly reshape thelandscape on this matter.

An analysis by the Oslerlaw rms aboriginal lawgroup (entitled:The Skyis Not Falling) notes this:Despite the

signicant mediaattention that the recentSupreme Court of Canadadecision has received, itrepresents a reiteration ofestablished law regardingaboriginal title that hasbeen developed overdecades, it said.

Another prominentlaw rm, MacMillan LLP,had this to say: With theexception of clarifying whatis required to establishoccupation, the decisiondoes not make signicantchanges to the law ofaboriginal title as it hascome to exist over the lastseveral decades.

In B.C., the reality onthe ground for the pastdecade or so is that FirstNations have had a de factoveto over many signicantactivities on land claimedas ancestral.

Increasingly, both theprovincial government andprivate sector companieshave realized this, andhave had to ensure thatFirst Nations supportis secured - not ignored- before proceeding witha particular development.And, really, what is theproblem with that? Nothaving First Nationssupport can frustrate or

even block a particulardevelopment (hellothere, Northern Gatewaypipeline).

The courts decisionwould seem to cement thisreality along more denedlines.

However, while the B.C.government and manycompanies doing businesshere are aware of this,the trouble is that manyoutside interests are not,and they (i.e. potentialcapital investors) may wellbe thinking that the sky hasindeed fallen, particularly ifthey pay more attention tomedia coverage than legalanalyses.

This is where concernsabout the impact on

the provincial economyarise. It may well be thatan investment chill maydevelop in this province,as potential investorsnervously wonder whetherits safe to invest in aproject where the backingof the First Nationsconcerned is not secured,or not certain.

It seems likely thatthe investment worldmay be unsettled for aperiod of time, as manythings owing from thisdecision sort themselvesout.There are outstandingquestions: what happensto overlapping landclaims when it comes toestablishing title is anexample of just one.

In the meantime, itmay be wise and prudentfor any natural resourcedeveloper to secure thesupport, if not the outrightpartnership, of FirstNations before proceeding- which is often the casetoday anyway.

While theres nodoubt the SupremeCourt decision is historicand signicant, BritishColumbia has been movingin the decisions directionfor some time now.Thesky is not falling folks, butit may have some stormclouds for a while.

City council discusses hospital plans

MARIA SPITALE-LEISKContributing writer

Vancouver CoastalHealth is looking tokeep pace with the agingpopulation, pledgingto increase capacity,possibly through a newacute patient tower, atLions Gate Hospital overthe next decade.

Short-term plans includeenhancements to surgicaland outpatient programs atthe hospital,Andre Kroeger,director of strategic planningforVCH, told NorthVan-couver city council Monday.

In the next coming yearsyou are going to see furtheradvancements within whatwe call our most criticalareas, said Kroeger.

LGH is entering quitea different realm, addedKroeger, explaining how thehospital is transitioning intoa health-care and educationhub not only for NorthShore residents, but also theentire coastal community upto Bella Bella.

But there are somegrowing pains that LionsGate andVCH arecontending with. So this

is all part of a two-way sortof struggle. One, in that wehave a number of facilitiesthat are challenged withaging infrastructure, saidKroeger.

Cascading waterfalls onthe exterior of the buildings,along with a host of otheroperational problemsincluding electrical issuesand elevator outages havebecome commonplace at thehospital, according toVCH.The campuss crampedfacilities also do not allow fortechnology upgrades.

Looking towards thefuture, the plan is for LionsGate to accommodate apopulation density increaseprojected for the city in theofcial community plan tobe approved later this year.

Coun. Rod ClarkquestionedVCH on howit plans to address a needfor more hospital beds onthe North Shore. LeanneAppleton, LGHs acutecare services director, whowas also on handMonday,said more beds, includingprivates ones, will be needed.

But also a shift fromacute to community, addedAppleton. More and more

we will be wrapping ourarms around patients andputting more emphasis onservices in their own home,and trying to keep themin their home as long aspossible before accessingacute services.

At the meeting,Clark encouragedVCHto continue talks withLonsdale Energy Corp.about providing heatto the hospital, beforebroaching the perennial

parking problem on thestreets around Lions Gate.The parking situation atLions Gate with respect toemployees impacts a verygreat area ... so anythingyou can do to keep yourown employees within thecampus during the daywould be welcome, saidClark.

Coun.Don Bell askedabout the advantagesof being a hub hospital.Kroeger said Lions Gate

would be able to retaindoctors, specialists andqualied nursing staff in thecommunity.

Coun. Pam Bookhamqueried if there were plans toreplace any of the 60-year-old buildings.

Kroeger revealed thereare ongoing capital planningdiscussions withinVCH,with respect to Lions Gate.

As you can appreciate,there is a provincialprocess to prioritize those

investments because thereare hospitals all over theprovince competing for thosesort of large multimilliondollar investments, he said.

As for the possibleredevelopment of EvergreenHouse a long-term carefacility adjacent to thehospital Kroeger said it isan area being reviewed.

Its still very formative.In fact,Vancouver CoastalHealth is just in the processof putting out a request forqualications and expressionof interest on residential carerenewal across the NorthShore, explained Kroeger.

Bookham concludedcouncils LGH discussionby asking: So is it fair tosay that for the next decadeyou will be renovating theexisting building, but notundertaking any major newconstruction?

We certainly hope therewill be major constructionduring the next decade,responded Kroeger, usingthe example of a new acutepatient tower, subject toprovincial approval.

Lions Gate recentlyreceived signicant upgrades,including a new endoscopyclinic.The $62-millionHOpe Centre for MentalHealth andAddictions is setto open this fall.

of community development,Gary Penway said staff arerecommending places to adddensication along transitroutes, consistent withMetroVancouvers regionalplan andTransLinks areatransit plan, which envisionsrapid transit for the area.

Bell countered that thecity should be focusing thatgrowth elsewhere. I reallythink that we need to sortof slow down on growthand focus it where we knowtransit is now, not where its

going to be. For me, thatsLonsdale corridor, thatsMarine Drive, Bell said.

When the dust settled,council with the absenceof Coun. Craig Keating approved the low-density,mixed housing for the area.

MikeWise, who livessouth of EastThird Street,told the News he wasdisappointed with councilsrecommendation, givenconsultation and support fordensity in the area.

Some members ofcouncil are not listening tothe people that participated

in the OCP process, he said.Council also reigned

in growth prospects in thecentral Lonsdale area withthe potential to only build tosix-storey buildings approvedon the east and north side ofEast 15th Street near LionsGate Hospital.

There have been a num-ber of changes in the neigh-bourhood and I think weneed some breathing room,and this achieves that, saidCoun. Rod Clark.

Looking at proposedOCP changes for Lonsdalebetween 17th and 21st

streets including the LondonDrugs site,Mussatto said hewanted to see allowances forup to 15 storeys instead ofeight.

That area is adjacent tothe Harry Jerome RecreationCentre property, which hassat in limbo in recent years,awaiting redevelopmentplans.

Coun. Pam Bookhamsaid if council decides that atower is the best way to fundthe redevelopment of HarryJerome, it makes sense thatthe adjacent London Drugssite be considered for a

similar form of development.However, Bookham did notwant council to commit toa higher height designationin the interim. I dontwant to write into the OCPat this time until we makethat decision about HarryJerome, she said.

Council also eliminatedthe potential for single-family homeowners to buildboth a secondary suite and acoach house.

The 100-block ofWestEsplanade, known as Site8, will be a special studyarea with a proposed height

restriction of eight storeys,thoughMussatto andBuchanan argued the lotcould handle 13.

When we are sitting oneblock from the water I thinksome people would prefer togo perhaps a bit taller andslimmer to keep those viewcorridors, Buchanan said.

The draft OCP isexpected to be in front ofcouncil for rst reading onJuly 21.A public hearing hasbeen tentatively scheduledfor Sept. 29, with adoptionof the OCP anticipated bythe end of October.

years for construction, a new school is at leastfour years away after its approved.

School trustee Barry Forward said hes nothappy about delays in getting the project offthe ground. Someone entering Grade 8 (thisyear) will never see a new school, he said.

Forward added that since earthquake riskis one of the compelling reasons for the newschool, every delay means another year wereputting (students) in a substandard facility.

Another potential stumbling block for theproject is a provincial policy announced thisspring requiring all school districts running asurplus to contribute up to half of the cost ofnew capital projects if they have cash.

Up until now, the province has fundedmajor school capital projects.

Since then, the NorthVancouver Board ofEducation has written to the province, askingthe Minister of Finance to repeal that decision.

Allison said she doesnt know if theprovince will be asking the school board tocome up with more cash under that policy.

Forward said the policy amounts to theprovince penalizing school districts that havebeen nancially responsible instead of properlyfunding projects.

We are one of the nancially sound schooldistricts in the province, he said. Whens theprovince stepping in?

This is about public education.You eitherfund our infrastructure or you dont.

WestVancouver residentKjaer Pedersen has beenan artist and a clothing-lover her whole life, butit was only four years agothat she decided to focusher creative talents onfashion.

I didnt know I couldsew. I had no desire to sewprevious to that, she says.

While she had littleexperience with a needleand thread, she wascertainly no stranger tothe garment business. Hermother, an accomplishedseamstress, and her father,a master tailor trainedin Denmark, owned aclothing store when shewas growing up.

Pedersen went out andbought her rst sewingmachine because shewanted to create clothingthat would atter womenof all shapes and sizes.She was rst motivatedto launch a collectionof ladies wear when herown body unexpectedlytransformed after she quitsmoking and she could nolonger shop in all the samestores she once had.

To be honest, I hadgained some weight and Ijust wasnt nding the joyof clothing as I once didand thats when I thought,You know what, I thinkthat I could do it. And loand behold I could, and Idid.

The result of her effortsis K-O.ME (pronounced

kay-oh-me), a line ofone-of-a-kind garmentsaimed at women of allages and sizes. Pedersencuts her fabrics freehand experimenting withshapes, angles anddraping to achieve themost attering t andsews everything herselfin her home studio. Hercollection includes jackets,tunics, dresses and more,which range in price from$59 to $189, dependingon the fabric used and the

labour involved.If I had my way, it

would be almost all silkand bamboo and naturalbres, but I do a lot ofpolyester too becausetheres some . . . fabulousfabrics out there on themarket, plus I can makethe price a lot lower, shesays.

Ultimately, Pedersenwants women to look andfeel their very best whenthey slip into a K.O.-MEoriginal and based on

customer feedback, thatseems to be the case.

They really do feelfabulous, she says. I get alot of returning customers,I have people that arealways writing me andtelling me how wonderfulthey feel.

Her predominantmarket is women aged40-plus, but sales arenot limited to thatdemographic.

I still have 20 and30 year olds, and even

sometimes teens, so, Imean, it does appeal toeveryone because theressuch a variety. Everythingsdifferent.

Today, Pedersenspersonal wardrobeconsists mainly of herown creations, so shes awalking billboard for herbrand when shes out andabout.

Rodgers says EdgemontVillage has a new feature thisyear, as well, which is in theevent of rain, instead of beingcancelled, the show willmove to Highlands UnitedChurch.

CALENDAR

This time around,however, the formula hasbeen tweaked to featureA-list stars (Keira Knightley,Mark Ruffalo), a more U.S.audience-friendly locale(NewYork City insteadof Dublin) and a biggerproduction budget, none ofwhich results in a markedlysuperior lm. Its pleasant,but well short of amazing.

Dan (Ruffalo) is a recordexec trying to drown outreminders of his very badday. Half cut at a bar in theEastVillage, he is one ofthe only patrons who hearsGretta (Knightley) gamelycrooning onstage, trying todrown out ambient chatterand kitchen noises. Prettybrave, actually, for a womanused to singing only for hercat.

Immediately Danimagines how Grettas tunecould hit big with addedaccompaniment, not tomention how she might beable to get him his job back.I was having a nervousbreakdown, and then I heardyour song I want to make

records with you.Gretta isnot so easily convinced: shehad been plotting her returnto the U.K. after her rising-star boyfriend (rst-timeactor but big-deal musicianAdam Levine) cheated onher. But Dan plans to get hersong heard, and failing that,convinces her to record awhole album on the variousstreets of the Big Apple,every song in a differentlocation.

As the title suggests,several relationships neednew starts or denitiveendings, including theones between Dan and hisestranged wife (CatherineKeener), between Danand his teenaged daughter(Hailee Steinfeld), andbetween Gretta and hercheatin beau Dave. Thestory is unremarkable andcontains few surprises.But credit goes to Carneyfor once again craftinganother nice lm, onethat earnestly believes inthe transformative powerof notes and lyrics.Theoriginal title of the lm wasCan A Song SaveYour Life(changed after last years

Toronto International FilmFestival), which gives yousome idea of Carneysendearing optimism.

The lm is greatlyenhanced by some nesupporting actors, notablyKeener (always great),Mos Def in a brief turn asDans business partner, andBrit actor James Cordenas Grettas wise-crackingfriend and saviour. AndMaroon 5 fans can rest easyknowing that their frontmanLevine is actually prettygreat in his rst feature lmrole (his song Lost Starsis also featured on thesoundtrack).

The other big question?Knightley turns out to be adecent singer and guitarist(she was reportedly coachedby her husband, Klaxonsvocalist James Righton).Too bad her character justisnt especially remarkable.More character study,story depth and less musicmontages wouldve made allthe difference.Begin Againis a nice lm, endearingand easy-listening, but withnone of the depth of feelingthat made Once a smash hit.
