A rising tide is set to sweep West Vancouver’s water-front, and at least one painter is worried art will belost in the wave.

The plan for Ambleside’s waterfront means creating openspace through the demolition of the Music Box, Silk Purse,and Lawson Creek Studios – much to the chagrin of NorthShore Artists’ Guild president Jilly Watson.

“We’re a bit nervous at the moment,” Watson said of theplanned destruction of Lawson Creek Studios. “We’re justtrying to let the municipality know that the artist commu-nity really doesn’t want that building to come down.”

After years of serving as a tranquil space for painters,woodcarvers and theatre programs, Lawson Creek Studioshas become outdated and vulnerable to ocean swells,according to District of West Vancouver spokesman JeffMcDonald.

“Those structures are extremely old and cost a lot ofmoney to maintain. They’re not really serving a useful pur-pose for many of the groups that use them,” McDonald said.

District of North Vancouver firefighters are creditingthe quick actions of two upper Lynn Valley women withsaving their neighbours’ home from a fire.

Chamberlain Drive resident Natalia Zamjitski first sus-pected something was amiss around noon Tuesday when shenoticed birds fleeing the neighbours’ yard. Thinking it may bea bear scaring them, Zamjitski went outside for a closer look.There she heard the crackling of a fire quickly spreading onher neighbours’ cedar deck.

As soon as the 9-1-1 call had been made, Zamjitski andanother neighbour Margaret Stec met in the front yard, decid-ing to tackle the blaze themselves.

COLUMNIST TREVOR LAUTENS: ARIAS AT LA CUCINA AND MEDICARE FOR AUTISM PAGE 8

Neighbours’ quick thinking saved home from fire“I just got a fire extin-

guisher and I ran,” Stec said.“The fire was quite tall. I wasnervous. It was close to me.”

But Zamjitski remainedcalm and deliberate, hittingthe fire with the extinguisher,Stec added.

“She’s such a smartwoman,” Stec said of her

neighbour. Neither hadattacked a fire before,although Zamjitski, a miningengineer, had some class-room training in undergroundsafety.

“That was theory. Thiswas practice,” she said.

The close relationshipamong neighbours and fireextinguishers at the readywere key to saving the home,

according to assistant firechief Mike Cairns.

“A couple more minuteswithout them doing that,the whole back of thathouse would have been fullyinvolved with fire. They werequick and decisive and thatreally saved their neighbours’house,” Cairns said.

The homeowners wereaway at the time of the blaze.

The exact cause of the fireis still under investigation.Cairns said it’s possible it hadbeen smouldering under thedeck for some time before itquickly grew.

As a thank-you, firefightersdropped off some DNVFRShats and T-shirts for theiramateur counterparts. Moreformal letters of thanks fromthe chief will be in the mail

soon, Cairns said.The street is home to fami-

lies from at least six differentcountries, but it remainsclose knit with neighbourskeeping an eye out for eachother, Zamjitski added.

“I’m so happy to live onthis cul-de-sac,” she said.

Stec said she hopespeople will learn from thenear catastrophe and keep

fire extinguishers chargedand ready. “If you’re savingthe neighbour, you’re alsosaving yourself,” she said.

Zamjitski expressedsimilar sentiment, addingher primary concern was thesafety of the homeowners’cat.

“Don’t be afraid. If you cando something, do some-thing,” she said.

Arts plaza included in plan

Two young men mayhave crucial informationconcerning the pre-dawnstabbing that landeda 22-year-old NorthVancouver man in hospitalwith serious injuries.

Police are looking for twomen who may have beeninvolved in the melee thaterupted outside the South-Beach styled Cabana Loungein downtown Vancouveraround 3 a.m. on Jan. 9.

The two persons of inter-est are suspected to be partof the group of brawlers whofled after the stabbing, leav-ing police stymied.

The first is described as alight-skinned man in his 20swith long, black hair. He waswearing a white jacket andblack pants. Police describedthe other man as a 25-year-old South Asian man with amedium build. He was wear-ing a dark baseball hat with awhite logo, black jacket, blackpants, and black runningshoes.

Anyone with informationabout the assault is askedto call the Vancouver PoliceMajor Crime Section at604-717-2541.

Surging storms and kingtides have also flooded thestudio in recent years, fur-ther damaging the structureand making it uninhabitablefor weeks at a time, accord-ing to McDonald.

Unlike the Silk PurseStudio and the Music Box,which each ended up undertwo feet of water followinga 2013 storm, Lawson CreekStudios has been com-paratively dry, according toWatson.

“It’s not in danger ofbeing flooded out,” she said.

However, McDonald isadamant the artists won’t beleft en plein air.

“We recognize thatthere’s angst and concernamong groups … who havebeen using that space for along time,” he said. “I thinkevery effort will be made tofind space to accommodategroups like the North ShoreArtists’ Guild.”

The waterfront conceptplan includes a new artsplaza at the foot of 14th

Street, but Watson isn’t surethe 325-member artists guildwill find a home there.

“If they don’t pull it downuntil everything is in placewe’d be a bit happier aboutit,” she said. “We’re a bitworried this building’s goingto come down and suddenlywe’re going to be in a situa-tion where we have to find aprivate place, which will behard for us.”

While the waterfrontmay be less hospitable forartists, the habitat couldbecome more welcomingfor salmon, according toMcDonald.

Watson disagreed.“It’s such a small foot-

print, it’s not really going tomake much difference to thefish,” she said.

A restored LawsonCreek could mean thereturn of chum salmon,said John Barker, presidentof the West VancouverStreamkeeper Society.

Lawson Creek runsunderground betweenMarine Drive and BellevueAvenue, Barker explained.However, water could bediverted out of the culvertinto a pathway that wouldrun through parkland to thewest of Navvy Jack House,where it would curl aroundthe heritage house andrejoin a nearby estuary.

Barker is excited aboutthe plan but reluctant toget into a debate aboutthe future of Lawson CreekStudios.

“We don’t want to beused as the reason thatLawson Creek Studiocame down because it’snot necessary to do it forstreamkeeper work,” hesaid.

Bringing the creek westof the historic Navvy JackHouse should make for alonger path, creating morehabitat for the fish. Salmonwill hopefully be luredby the water’s near frigidtemperature, according toBarker.

“The chum seem to likethat cooler water,” he said.

The creek path would beaugmented by native vegeta-tion, split cedar rail fencingand crushed gravel walk-ways, according to Barker.

The new plan is set tobe discussed in councilchambers in early June. Theconcept includes closingArgyle Avenue to cars, aswell as consolidating twoboat ramps into one rampthat would be inaccessibleto motor boats on trailers.The district is on the huntfor a new spot where motorboats could be launched.

Seymour Salmonid Society president ShaunHollingsworth stands at the site of a 2014 rock slide onthe SeymourRiverwhere blastingwill start later this spring. FILE PHOTOMIKEWAKEFIELD

Seymour added toendangered rivers listBRENT [email protected]

North Vancouver’sSeymour River has beennamed among the mostendangered in B.C. but itappears only volunteergroups are coming to itsrescue.

The 100,000-memberOutdoor Recreation Councilof B.C. added the Seymourto its bi-annual list ofendangered rivers, thanksto the December-2014 rockslide that dumped morethan 50,000 cubic metres ofgranite.

“When you look at thesize of that rock slide, that’senough material to fill a13-storey building,” saidMark Angelo, council chair-man. “You’re talking abouta major slide that’s had animmense impact in that it’sblocked migration of keycoho and steelhead stocks.”

Adding Seymour to thelist is meant to draw atten-tion to the rivers’ plightand spur senior levels ofgovernment, which haveresponsibility for salmonand trout, to mitigate thethreats.

The Seymour supportsrare runs of early coho andsummer steelhead, mak-ing it unique in the Lower

Mainland. Downstream spe-cies including otters, bears,minks and eagles have alsobeen put at risk.

“They’ve suffered greatlyfrom the diminished fishstocks,” Angelo said

Since the slide, theSeymour Salmonid Societyhelped formulate a plan thatwould see the rock slowlybroken apart using low-velocity explosives over aperiod of up to five years,allowing a channel for fish tomigrate through. But so far,there’s been little federal orprovincial support for theroughly $1.25 million thatwould cost.

In the meantime thesociety has co-ordinatedhundreds of volunteers tophysically net and carryfish returning to the riverto spawn up above theblockage.

“Their efforts have beenso valiant,” Angelo said.“That was an amazing effortbut endeavours like that arenot sustainable.”

But the society is plan-ning to get started on theblasting soon, with orwithout support from thefeds and province, accord-ing to Shaun Hollingsworth,society president.

“Rather than sit back andwait, we continue to do our

fundraising and put thingsin place through the sixlevels of government and weplan on breaking rock thisspring.”

Hollingsworth said hehad his “fingers, eyes andtoes crossed” in hopes thefederal budget would fundthe project, but so far, allDepartment of Fisheries andOceans has been able to pro-vide is $70,000. The provincehas yet to put up any funds.

“I’m very disappointedto be honest,” he said. “Thefeds have a fiduciary dutyfor salmon and the prov-ince has a fiduciary dutyfor steelhead and trout andneither party has steppedforward.”

Angelo said the feds andprovince ought to be takingthe lead on the project,given what’s at stake.

“(Rivers) have immensenatural values, immense cul-tural values, and immenserecreational values and if wewere to lose the kind of fishruns we’re talking about onthe Seymour, that would besuch a step back,” Angelosaid. “Given the importanceand uniqueness of theSeymour River and its fishstocks, we think everythingpossible must be done tomitigate the impacts of theslide.”

With federal, provincialand First Nations environ-mental approvals in place,the Woodfibre LNG proj-ect has hired a Houston,Texas-based company toprovide a detailed analy-sis of what it would cost tobuild an LNG plant underthe terms of those permits.

Just days after the federalgovernment announcedenvironmental approval of theproject, the company releaseda statement that it had hiredKBR Inc. to do preliminaryengineering and designwork. Results of that analy-sis – expected in June or July– along with sales contractswith overseas customers,will be key to making a finalinvestment decision later thisyear on whether to build theplant, said Byng Giraud, vice-president of corporate affairsat Woodfibre LNG Ltd.

If that happens, construc-tion on the plant – expected totake two years – could start inearly 2017, he said.

But there are still a number

of hurdles for the project toclear before that happens.

Among those, “we stillhave a number of permits toget,” said Giraud. “The oil andgas permits are quite large.They can take months toachieve.”

Permits issued by theB.C. Oil and Gas Commissionaddress some of the sameissues as the EnvironmentalAssessment Office approvals,but in muchmore detail.

A new FortisBC pipelinethat would feed natural gasinto the plant is also subjectto further regulatory approval,including reaching agreementswith the Squamish Nation.

The band, which issuedits own conditional envi-ronmental approval of theproject last year, also has aneconomic stake in the project,including a revenue-sharingdeal if the project goes aheadand an agreement to provideemployment.

Besides regulatoryapprovals, one of the big-gest wildcards for the LNGproject is likely a market forits product.

Global oversupply of

LNG and a shrinking of Asianmarkets means “the market istough right now,” said Giraud.But he addedWoodfibre islikely in a better position toweather that than some of theother proposed LNG projects.

“We are a smaller facility,”he said. “Finding space forthat amount of gas (in themarket) is much less difficult.”

Woodfibre, whose parentcompany Pacific Oil and GasLtd., is owned by Indonesianbillionaire Sukanto Tanoto,is currently in talks to securea sales contract with BeijingGas, said Giraud. “It all comesdown to price,” he said. “It’sa negotiation we’re heavilyinvolved in.”

The federal governmentgave its stamp of approvalFriday to the $1.6-billionliquefied natural gas project,which plans to process andexport 2.1-million tonnes ofLNG each year from the siteof the formerWoodfibre pulpmill on Howe Sound, south-west of Squamish. The projectwould send an estimated 40double-hulled tankers to Asiaeach year.

In her decision, federalMinister of Environmentand Climate ChangeCatherine McKenna said theEnvironmental AssessmentOffice has concluded the

project can go ahead withoutcausing significant harm.

Environmentalists opposedto the polarizing projectexpressed their shock and dis-appointment at the decisionFriday, pointing to concernsabout the re-industrializationof a recovering marineenvironment and potentialimpacts of a proposed seawa-ter cooling system.

Conditions attached to thefederal environmental permitinclude building that coolingsystem to minimize impact onsea life, monitoring shellfishand ground fish for levels oftoxic chemical compounds,minimizing gas flares, andcontrolling underwater noiselevels whenmarine mammalsare in the area. Critics havevoiced skepticism that govern-ment will provide sufficientmonitoring to ensure thoseconditions are enforced.

Pam Goldsmith-Jones,Liberal MP for WestVancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country, saidFriday that the conditions aresignificant.

“They reflect the com-munity input that peopleprovided and I will be vigilantin ensuring that, from the per-spective of ecological healthandmarine safety, thosecriteria will be met.”

The December 2014 SeymourRiver rock slide has made theriver impassible for the fragilestocks of coho salmon andsteelhead trout.

So far, it’s taken volunteers physicallycatching and carrying the spawning fishabove the slide location to keep the lifecycle alive.

But the good news is, the SeymourSalmonid Society has spawned a planthat could ensure the Seymour lives onfor future generations of humans andsalmonids alike to enjoy.

Our local governments, First Nations,the province and the federal governmentare all in agreement on the plan to uselow-velocity explosives to slowly breakopen a channel in the debris.

Except, when it comes to pickingup the $1-million-plus tab, the feds andprovince appear to have left their wallets

in another coat, even though they havejurisdiction over the river and its fish.The society is frantically trying to raisethe money to go it alone.

Downloading of responsibilities hasbeen raised to an art form in Canada.Municipalities tend to catch the brunt ofit, but increasingly, it’s our non-profitsand volunteers who are being looked toas unpaid civil servants. It is totally unfairto put a burden this heavy, literally andfiguratively, on a tiny NGO. They risklosing their volunteer base, who mightrightly feel taken advantage of.

We urge our new federal governmentand our election-primed provincial gov-ernment to show up at the Seymour andstart doing their jobs.

As environmental fixes go, this one isa hell of a lot simpler and cheaper thansolving climate change.

Come on in, we say. The water’s fine.

It’s asking a lot, but sus-pend your fascination withWest Vancouver politics.

Go light of foot andheart to La Cucina, wherethe food and the unforcedatmosphere of an intimateEuropean restaurant aredraws enough, its regularsconfiding its lure only to reli-able friends (“Umberto oftencomes here,” one told me,and, as if on cue, Vancouver’stop restaurateur walked in)for the stunning treat of IngridFaedo.

You will spot her imme-diately. Ingrid is so beautifulthat she wears out the word.A new one cries out to besculpted for her. Yet sheseems unaware of it. She is asmodest as her role. She is theserver-plus at La Cucina: 1509Marine Dr., North Vancouver,memorize it.

Then, awing newcomers,West Vancouver’s Ingrid canbreak out in song. You willnever hear Happy Birthdaysung like this. Or opera ariasin such a milieu.

And not amateur night.Lyric soprano Ingrid’sprofessional credits would

fill this space. With musicdegrees (bachelor’s fromUBC, master’s fromMcGill),as Ingrid Erika Mankhof shehad leading roles in operettasin Germany, Austria, Hollandand Belgium, by Strauss,Offenbach and Kalman, andthe title role in Lehar’s TheMerry Widow. She’s sung atSalute to Vienna concertsfrom New York City toCalgary.

Does she miss suchcelebrity? Her answer seemswithout false modesty orhidden regret: “For everythingthere is a season, and I amvery happy with my present

season” (as wife of TiberioFaedo, owner of La Cucinafor 36 years). But Ingrid alsokeeps a professional tonsil in,singing once or twice a monthat prestigious Pan PacificHotel’s opera buffet evenings.

It’s a musically longbut geographically shortroad from her Chemainusbirthplace.

“I remember at the age offive singing solo the hymn“What a Friend We Have inJesus” in front of the congre-gation at the Brethren Churchin Ladysmith, and the reac-tion that I received made littleIngrid very happy,” Ingridsaid. “I even remember thelight blue blouse that I woreand the little black skirt. Mylove of fashion also started ata very young age.”

If you can get a table atthis cosy restaurant, go. Takea loved one. Guaranteedmemorable, especially if it

gets buzzed around that it’syour mate’s birthday.

Z Z ZIf autism, an often poi-

gnant affliction of children,finally gets under Canada’smedicare tent as a medi-cally necessary treatment, asurprising number of WestVancouverites coincidentallywill have had a hand in it.

David Marley, Medicarefor Autism Now! spokesman,tells a riveting tale of howthe MFAN cause was cho-sen – luck, stickhandling byPaula Williams and her SouthSurrey-White Rock team,heavenly intervention, what-ever – by B.C.’s federal Liberalconstituencies as a resolutionat the Liberal national con-vention in Winnipeg in May.

Jean Lewis of West Van hasbeen pushing, pulling, plead-ing for the autism sufferers’cause since 1998, when sheand Williams led a meeting

at West Vancouver’s St.Francis-in-the-Woods AnglicanChurch. West Vancouverresident Chris Hinkson,now chief justice of the B.C.Supreme Court, acted probono for 30 MFAN-supportingfamilies, and in 2000 MadameJustice Marion Allan, also ofWest Vancouver, ruled in theirfavour. In 2002 the B.C. Courtof Appeal – its judgmentwritten by Madame JusticeMary Saunders, another WestVancouver resident – upheldthe trial judge’s findings offact.

In 2004 Canada’s SupremeCourt didn’t overturn thatruling, only suggested thatthe B.C. government couldhave more swiftly moved itsbuns – I translate freely fromthe court’s obiter dicta – tofund MFAN’s core rationale,applied behavioural analysis,which I won’t attempt totranslate in case it looks likeshowing off.

Politically, the causestalled at the door ofConservative health ministerTony Clement. MFAN hopesthe Justin Trudeau Liberalswill be more sympathetic

to an issue West Van almostholds the deed to.

Z Z ZIronic. It took years to

strip Howe Sound of water-front industry – the BritanniaBeach mine, and a pulp andpaper mill. When we movedto West Van 31 years ago, thepong assailed the nostrilswhenever the wind blewwrong. Now the proposedWoodfibre LNG plant hasleaped environmental hurdles,delighting advocate FredBowyer. But the political barcould be set higher, West Vancouncil, including business-friendly Mayor Michael Smith,being among the unanimouslyopposed.

Z Z ZWest Vancouver is stingy

honouring its late great.But it should name a nub ofLighthouse Park waterfront,just east of the wartimebuildings, Murray NewmanPoint. I cherish walks therewith the innovative founderof the world-class VancouverAquarium, relishing his wit,elegant conversation, anderudition.

Crash response causesunnecessary ‘shock’Dear Editor:

On Monday morning, traf-fic had slowed as I neared themultiple merges just beforethe Ironworkers MemorialSecond Narrows Crossing.

I expected to see the com-mon cars-kissing scenario atthis zero-merge-lane disasterzone but was instead sur-prised to see a vehicle thathad spun and crashed intothe railing on the Main Streeton-ramp.

The driver and her daugh-ter were standing on thesidewalk looking forlornly attheir wrecked car, the motheron her cellphone likely calling9-1-1. Traffic from the MainStreet on-ramp was makingits way around the damagedvehicle, which was only par-tially blocking the on-ramplane.

I later spoke to numer-ous people who weresubsequently trapped on theNorth Shore after emergencyresponders blocked off the

Main Street on-ramp and theadjacent flow-through laneonto the bridge. Traffic inevery direction was grid-locked with lineups stretchingkilometres in all directions.One individual, who finallypassed the accident sceneafter almost two hours stuckin traffic, observed respond-ers — police, fire, tow truckdriver, etc. — clustered nearthe damaged vehicle, whichstill hadn’t been removed!

In human physiologythe body sometimes over-responds to physical injury ina reaction known as “shock.”To preserve life, the bodyshuts down blood circulationto everything except the vitalorgans. Shock is character-ized by pale, cool and sweatyskin because the extremi-ties are starved of oxygen. Ifuntreated, this initially life-saving response can progressand lead to death. Whentreating an injured patient,you treat the injury and you

treat for shock.The protracted over-

response by emergencypersonnel to this single-caraccident resulted in a shock-like crippling injury acrossthe North Shore. The vehiclewas likely a $15-20,000 ICBCwrite-off, but the cost oftens of thousands of peopleunnecessarily trapped forhours in their cars runs tohundreds of thousands ofdollars.

All that was necessarywas to put out some traf-fic cones and a flag personto direct traffic around thedamaged vehicle – to keeprush hour traffic flowing – tokeep the North Shore alive.The vehicle should have beenremoved later, after rushhour.

The response caused fargreater damage than theaccident. We need to start“treating for shock.”Don JohnsonNorth Vancouver

Dojo disruptsweed shop samplingDear Editor:

The other day, whileenjoying some sampleKush at my local marijuanadispensary, my tranquilitywas assaulted by grunts andscreams from across thestreet. This offensive rowemanated from a recentlyopened kick-boxing dojo.

There, young men andwomen were desperatelytrying to maim each other inpursuit of their black belts.What was once a peace-ful residential enclave hadbeen turned into an arenaof martial combat. Althoughthe building was a hundredyards away, the smell of

perspiration and unwashedfeet was rife in the air. Surelythese enterprises could limittheir location to marginalindustrial areas and not adja-cent to peaceable partakersof the weed. Something mustbe done!Graeme FosterNorth Vancouver

Pets bring countlessrewards to rentersDear Editor:

Re: Pet Owners Feel RentalMarket Squeeze, March 9 front-page story.

As the proud pet parentof a 14-year-old dog, I amtruly alarmed and upset bythe comments made byMr.Huniak regarding pet ownerswho rent, and when one con-siders how hard it is to findaffordable rental accommoda-tion his attitude is downrightscary: “After a tenant with adog or cat vacates a suite, itinvariably means replacing thecarpets andmore repairs,” aswell as damage that inherentlyresults from having pets inapartments.” I find this state-ment preposterous and wantsome factual information.

For example, do all carpetsfrom a house or condo wherea dog previously lived have tobe torn out? Condos are some-times not much bigger than an

apartment so why would therebe somuchmore damage ina rental apartment then in aself-owned condo?

I also object to his remarksregarding how dogs may nega-tively affect other residentsand carry fleas. Pets do notbring in bed bugs, silver fish ormice and rats. The issues thatarise in rental buildings withannoying human behaviourcan occur in anymulti-familytype of dwelling.

There are huge advantagesfor the pet owner and every-one else where a properlytrained dog lives. Theseinclude:Z Security – There is nobetter way of ensuring thesafety of a dwelling than thebarking of a dog.Z Creating friendships – Ibelieve that nearly everyoneI know in my neighbourhoodis because I have been

out walking Louie. Dogsbreak down all the humanbarriers such as age, sex,race; everyone wants to befriendly even if it is just toyour dog.Z Exercise and health – Adog is the best form ofexercise there is because itdoes not matter how sick ortired youmay be, that littlecreature still has to go out atleast twice a day nomatterwhat.Z Mental health – Hasanyone ever done a studyto find out howmuch apet dogmay reduce stressrelated illness or harmreduction amongmanyother related issues? A dogis the only animal that lovesunconditionally nomatterhow the rest of the worldmay treat you.Sue Lakes CookNorth Vancouver

WVhomeownerordered topay$80K

BRENT [email protected]

Always get it in writing.A West Vancouver home-

owner has been ordered topay more than $80,000 to acontractor after a protracteddispute over who brokecontracts, alleged construc-tion deficiencies and whetheror not he was completing thejobs they agreed on.

Contractor Gabor Jozsasought an $83,360 lien onthe luxury Park Lane homeof Maria Isabel Charlwood-Sebazco, claiming she hadnot paid the remainder of herbills or the HST for the workhe did between August 2012and January 2013.

Charlwood-Sebazcolevelled a counterclaimthat Jozsa breached theircontracts, that there were47 deficiencies in the workhe did and that he did notperform significant parts ofhis contract that she hadto hire other contractors tocomplete. She also claimedJozsa was negligent andthat she was owed general,special and punitive damagesfor mental distress becauseof his aggressive demands forpayment.

Jozsa had alreadybeen paid $228,000 for hisrenovation work on the

multimillion-dollar Altamonthome when a dispute aroseover when the project wouldbe complete and Charlwood-Sebazco’s contractor friendadvised her much of the workwas shoddy.

But in a recent courtruling, B.C. Supreme CourtJustice John Steevesdisagreed, siding with thecontractor in almost everyaspect of the dispute.

Of the so-called deficien-cies in Jozsa’s work, much ofit was from portions of thejob that were not yet finishedwhen Charlwood-Sebazcoordered him not to comeback to the property, eventhough he asked to comeback and finish the job, thejudge ruled.

In some cases, the home-owner had claimed Jozsainstalled the wrong compo-nents, like a sink faucet anddoor handles, when she hadin fact chosen them with him,the judge stated in his deci-sion, and many deficiencieswere on portions of the homeJozsa wasn’t even contractedto work in.

“The defendant says inher pleadings that there wasa deficiency in the plaintiff’swork in the basement whennone of his work was there,”Steeves wrote in his decision.“Her idea of the scope of

the work is quite unreliable.Indeed, it is clear that sheseeks through her counter-claim to have the plaintiff payfor things that were plainlynot part of her contracts withthe plaintiff, essentially a dif-ferent renovation.”

The judge knocked about$2,500 off of Jozsa’s claimdue to actual deficienciesincluding two poorly installedbluestone concrete tiles.

Steeves also left the dooropen to Jozsa being heldresponsible for a crack inthe fireplace stone, pendingfurther investigation.

On the matter of morethan $33,000 in unpaid HST,Steeves did not acceptCharlwood-Sebazco’s claim itwas to have been included inthe original contract quotes.

“Apparently the plaintiffdid not know about the need

to charge tax on his billsuntil he met with an accoun-tant recommended by thedefendant,” the judge wrote.“As well, it is quite unreason-able for the defendant to sayat trial that she did not knowthat HST was applicable. Thatis akin to choosing an item ina store based on the price tagand then being surprised thattax is charged at the cashier.”

The judge also rejected

Charlwood-Sebazco’s claimto damages due to mentaldistress.

“I note that the plaintiffin January (2013) agreed toresolve 39 deficiencies anddiscuss the others but thiswas not accepted by thedefendant. This fact is coun-ter to the assertion by thedefendant that the plaintiffused aggressive tactics to gether to pay,” Steeves wrote.

Judge decides in favourof contractor in dispute

Demo causes outageAbout 150 BC Hydro cus-tomers, including muchof Lynn Valley Centre,lost power Wednesdaymorning.

The outage was a compli-cation of the demolition workhappening at the old Zellersbuilding.

“The contractor left theelectrical vault open so it wasopen to the elements,” saidBC Hydro spokesman KevinAquino. “That was the causeof the outage.”

Crews restored powershortly after 2:30 p.m.

About 60 seconds passed between the time the officersstepped out of their police cruiser and the time an offi-cer fired the shot that killed Fredy Villanueva.

He was 18, unarmed, and black.Eight years later, people are still trying to figure out what

transpired in those 60 seconds.Was Fredy trying to steal the cop’s gun or serve as a peace-

maker? Was it a one-in-a-million kind of incident, or somethingbound to happen in a neighbourhood that increasingly felt likea war zone at night, with cops on one side of the conflict pittedagainst young black men on the other?

The Montreal shooting inspired looting, riots, and a largelybotched investigation into the actions of the officers.

It also inspired Vancouver native Omari Newton, originallyfromMontreal, to write his first play.

In Sal Capone: The Lamentable Tragedy Of, Newton intro-duces us to a hip-hop group at the peak of their potential.

That potential is on the verge of disintegrating after a mem-ber of the group is killed in a police shooting.

“Sadly, it’s kind of a common occurrence that young blackmen get into altercations with police, oftentimes, particularlyin the (United) States, it ends in a fatality,” Newton explains. “Iwanted to tell a story that was universal and encompassed allthe frustration I felt.”

The decision to have the group’s DJ be the one to get shotwas symbolic, Newton says. Without their DJ, the group has nobackbone, no one to keep the tempo.

Speaking to the North Shore News from a slam poetryworkshop he’s teaching in Pemberton, Newton talks about theimportance of rap music in the play.

“(Telling this story) through the lens of hip hop would justbe… a good entry point to understand youth culture and whythese situations continue to happen,” he says.

Newton was an emcee in his college days and creditsrap group Public Enemy for shaping his political and socialconsciousness.

Now 36, Newton started writing Sal Capone in his 20s. Sincefirst putting pen to paper, Newton won acting roles on the TVshows Continuum, The X-Files, and Blue Mountain State. He alsomarried the daughter of the former chief of police of Timmins,Ont.

During those writing years, the themes that surrounded thedeath of Fredy Villanueva became more and more relevant.

“When we started this, the hashtag #blacklivesmatter wasn’teven a thing,” he notes.

The play deals with combustible subject matter, but it’s not amessage play.

“I never intended to get a message out through the play,” hesays. “I just wanted to tell as honest and nuanced a story as pos-sible and let people make their own opinions.”

Those opinions have run the gamut from outrage on one side

Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill star as Batman and Superman inWarner Bros.’ latest DC Comicsmovie. PHOTO SUPPLIED CLAYENOS

Moody superheroes squareoff in lacklustre action flick

REVIEW: BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE

! BatmanvSuperman:DawnofJustice.DirectedbyZackSnyder. StarringBenAffleckandHenryCavill.Rating:6 (outof 10)

JULIE CRAWFORDContributing writer

Who would win in a fight: Batmanor Superman? It’s no mean taskto tackle an age-old schoolyard

question satisfactorily for fans theworld over.

Zack Snyder proves up to the chal-lenge in the epic battle department,but not when it comes to craftingsatisfying lead heroes. Batman is unchar-acteristically pathological; Superman isdepressed. Both super-downers spendfar too much time griping about oneanother’s presence, and we feel the sameway, wishing that this was a straight-shot

sequel toMan of Steel instead of what it is:a titillating but somewhat glum entrée to aworld of DC Comics sequels.

The film stars Ben Affleck, HenryCavill, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg andGal Gadot as Batman, Superman, LoisLane, Lex Luthor andWonderWoman,respectively. But this is Batman’s filmfrom the very beginning, and he’s peeved.

The action starts at the endof theMan of Steel filmwithBatman witnessing carnageandmayhem at groundlevel, collateral damage fromSuperman’s sky-high battlewith General Zod, an impres-sive opening. (Note here,however, that if your daughterjust stocked up on theWonderWoman/Supergirl/Batgirl andother newly available actionfigures and is excited to catcha glimpse of WonderWomanon the big screen, scenesinvolving blown-up limbs andsex trafficking probably pre-clude pre-teens fromwatchingthe film.)

And so we have BruceWayne/Batman’s misplacedrage and nightmares, occa-sionally assuaged by Alfredthe Butler (Jeremy Irons) butwith revenge directed squarelyat Superman. Superman/Clark Kent gets some cuddletime with Lois Lane but is toodistraught over the world’spoor opinion of him to makemuch progress. A congress-woman (Holly Hunter) wantsto hold Superman account-able for his actions, as doessuper-conniver Lex Luthor(Eisenberg, again channelinghis Zuckerberg), who has athing for Jolly Ranchers, and isthe only comic relief in

the film.Tormented superhero

story arcs are nothing new(thanks Tim Burton andChristopher Nolan) butSnyder doesn’t waste timefor exposition before the nextaction sequence or meander-ing plot line gets underway.

Affleck took a beatingamong fans when casting wasannounced but he provescapable as a salt-and-pepperDark Knight: it’s just that hisBatman is lacking depth andout of character. Ditto Cavill,who desperately needs moreto do but certainly looks thepart.

Is there just not enoughroom on screen for two suchimpressively cleft chins?

Some excitement is gener-ated byWonderWoman’s

(Gadot) big-screen debut andshe, at least, cracks a smilewhile cracking skulls.

Visually, it must be said,the film has moments of truebeauty that we only wishhad seeped into the script-ing. And the grand finale isa sonic spectacle, with HansZimmer and Junkie XL provid-ing accompaniment. Themarathon of visual effects,stuntwork and good old-fashioned fisticuffs is berserkand relentless, verging on silly,but it’s a relief to see these twogo boots-to-boots after suchmoody build-up.

The script is meanderingand full of holes but a fewgreat moments makeWarnerBros.’ Batman v Supermanworth seeing, but make sureyou catch it on the big screen.

“Ironically, I’ve had moreradical activist friends be madat me and say, ‘Why were youso easy on the cops?’ And I’vehad friends who are policeofficers say, ‘Why did youwrite an anti-police play?’”

There are systemicproblems that lead to policeshootings, Newton says,and one of them is a culturalchasm between the police andthe policed.

“There’s a lack of bonds,or links built between manycommunities and law enforce-ment,” he says.

Part of what he’s doingwith Sal Capone is attemptingto allow for a greater under-standing of hip-hop culture.

“I recognize the greatnessin a great hip-hop album…and a great Shakespeareanmonologue,” he says.

THE WHISTLER CUP– BUILDING LASTINGFRIENDSHIPS

Of all the 400 athletes thatparticipate in the Whistler Cup,

only a handful of the racers will reachthe cherished podium.

A few more will reach their personalbest and have the race of their life.

And even a greater number willgain expertise that will take them tofuture podium.

But each and everyone of theyoung Whistler Cup racers will havean opportunity to meet, exchangeand build a lasting relationshipwith a fellow racer from Canada,Norway, Australia, Korea or anyone

of the other 18 participating foreigncountries.

These relationship will often lastlong after the Whistler Cup, willprovide a unique view on a differentculture and traditions and will build anunderstanding and respect for diversecultures.

The unique international friendshipsthat will be formed is the real successof this race and everyone steps ontothat Podium.

Have a great Race.Richard Prokopanko

The idea was simpleenough: create a collec-tion of basic clothing tosuit as many women aspossible.

Deep Cove designerJan Stimpson hadn’t seenanything like it in storesand personally felt limitedby what she saw when shewent clothes shopping. So,15 years ago, the fashionindustry veteran founded theSympli brand.

“Sympli was sort of bornout of the need to do some-thing a bit more basic andto further accommodate theneeds of as many women aspossible,” she explains.

It started with a handfulof T-shirts, pants and skirts,all with an emphasis on fit.She introduced more piecesshortly after, including theever-popular Soft ChakraTunic. Today, Sympli boastsa selection of layering piecesin more than 300 designs and30 colours meant for mixingand matching. There’s alsoa plus-sized division, SympliGrand, which launched in2011.

“We just kind of grewpretty quickly right from thevery beginning,” Stimpsonsays.

Like any business venture,the road to success was notwithout hurdles.

“When you grow really

quickly, cash flow can be anissue, so we went through aperiod of time when we werereally running short on cashflow,” she recalls. That meanthaving to eliminate quite afew staff, but, fortunately,she was able to hire them allback after six months or so.

Then there’s the chal-lenge of keeping production

in Canada – an increasinglydifficult task with much ofthe textile industry basedoffshore.

“We’ve managed to do it,so that’s great,” she notes.

With winter behind us,Sympli is launching a spring/summer 2016 collection thatstays true to the brand’smission of accommodating

a range of ages, shapes andsizes.

“This spring was reallyno different from any otherseason in that respect,”Stimpson says. The latestcollection follows Sympli’s“fit formula,” offering eachpiece in three different fits:snug, relaxed and tunic. Mostof the garments are made

from a poly-blend fabric withsome stretch.

“We always try to keepthe line very drapey, whichaccommodates the luxury ofthe fabric. We always wantthe styling to offer some for-giveness over the body whilemaintaining kind of a slender,curvaceous feel,” Stimpsonsays. “The weight of our

fabric is very important tous. We monitor that reallyclosely to make sure that wemaintain the same weightand get the same drape.”

Stimpson doesn’t typicallylook to fashion fads whendeveloping her seasonalcollections. That said, she

Noveltypiecescomplement trustystapleswill interpret trends to suither needs. This spring, she’sfocusing on a more femininelook, incorporating mesh andsoft colours. And in additionto her best-selling staplegarments, she’s introducedsome novelty pieces, like thelong-tailed Tuxedo Jacket.

“To be honest, not everywoman’s going to wear that,but it does pique the interestof the woman that wants it,”she says.

Stimpson says it’s impor-tant to work from existingdesigns to ensure the currentseason’s styles complementthose of previous seasons.

“The line is made suchthat if you buy a piece twoyears ago, you can buy some-thing this year that you canwear that piece with,” shesays. “The fabrication wearsreally well and so thesepieces stay integrated into awoman’s wardrobe and theyjust want to add to it andbuild and layer.”

As always, Stimpson’sultimate goal is for wear-ers to feel comfortable andconfident.

“We want them to be ableto put on whatever they feelthat day,” she says. “Whenyou put something on in themorning, if it just doesn’t fitor you’re not 100-per-centcomfortable in it, to be hon-est, I don’t believe your daystarts as well as it otherwisecould.”

Looking ahead to the next15 years, Stimpson is keen to

grow and evolve the Symplibrand.

“Going forward we’relooking at some naturalfibres that we could bring inin the future,” she says, add-ing that she’s also interestedin breaking into the Europeanmarket. “There’s lots of roomfor expansion and growing.”

JazzveterantoperformwithCapstudents

! Norma Winstone with “A”Band and NiteCap, part ofthe Cap Jazz Series, Friday,April 1 at 8 p.m., at theBlueShore Financial Centrefor the Performing Arts atCapilano University. Tickets:$35/$32, visit capilanou.ca/centre.

ERIN [email protected]

A veteran British jazzvocalist and lyricist isgearing up to share thestage with, as well asimpart some wisdomgleaned from her morethan four-decade-longcareer to, CapilanoUniversity Jazz Studiesprogram students nextweek.

Norma Winstone isslated to perform Friday,April 1 at the BlueShoreFinancial Centre for thePerforming Arts at CapilanoUniversity. For the concert,she’ll be joined by CapilanoUniversity’s own NiteCap(vocal) and “A” Band (instru-mental) jazz ensembles. Theshow will mark the first timethe jazz singer has workedwith the students and fac-ulty at the North Vancouvereducational institution.

“I’m really looking for-ward to meeting the singersand the students and doingsomething with them. It’sexciting,” says the London-born and Dover area-basedmusician, reached Mondayfrom Philadelphia where shewas visiting friends dur-ing a break between publicappearances in Toronto andher upcoming North Shoreperformance.

“It’s just great to feelthat the music is going onand it’s being appreciatedby a younger generation.I love that. It’s so unusualfor young people to get intothis kind of music. I thinkit’s wonderful and it has tobe nurtured because theydon’t get to exactly hearvery much of it on the radio,

so it’s wonderful if they’restudying it at university. Ifeel quite privileged to beable to help with that insome way.”

Winstone says her driv-ing force has long been herlove for the genre.

“I don’t really needanything else,” she says,explaining she was intro-duced to jazz by her parents.

She remembers whenthey went to see FrankSinatra in London in the1950s.

“They didn’t take meunfortunately, but I wasbrought up listening tohim and my dad loved FatsWaller, he loved jazz piano.I just fell into it. I heard EllaFitzgerald and thought shewas wonderful, and scatsinging, and I just tried tolearn all the things that shedid,” she says.

Winstone also startedstudying piano at a youngage.

“It helped me in mycareer, being able to readmusic, because at the timeI came along there was nojazz education, you just hadto learn it, if you like, on thestreets, or learn it by listen-ing to recordings,” she says.

“I just always knew thatI wanted to somehow beinvolved in that music,” sheadds.

Over the years she hasamassed countless expe-riences and awards, forexample, most recentlyshe was named JazzVocalist of the Year at theUnited Kingdom’s 2015Parliamentary Jazz Awards.

In addition to maintaininga solo career, Winstone hashad many opportunities tocollaborate with a range ofmusicians. When asked whatmemories stand out, shesays, “I’m proud of the workwith Azimuth with (pianist)John Taylor and (trumpeter)Kenny Wheeler. I’m proud ofthose CDs.”

Winstone is currentlyactive with a trio, singing

alongside Italy-based pianistGlauco Venier and saxo-phonist and bass clarinetplayer Klaus Gesing. Theensemble’s last record,2013’s Dance Without Answerfeatures original works andadaptations, as well as cov-ers, including of Madonna’s“Live To Tell,” Nick Drake’s“A Time of No Reply,” Tom

Waits’ “San Diego Serenade”and “Bein’ Green,” popular-ized by Kermit the Frog.

“I’m open to trying anykind of music really, as longas we can make it into ourown,” she says.

The trio is currentlyworking on some new mate-rial for a future recordingproject, potentially focused

on film themes.Another ensemble

Winstone is active with atpresent is jazz pianist andcomposer Nikki Iles’ groupThe Printmakers. The grouprecently released an album,entitled Westerly, and hassome upcoming concertdates in England. Membersare also working on new

material for a future album.In addition to rehears-

ing and performing with themembers of NiteCap and “A”Band, Winstone will interactwith the students in a ques-tion and answer session andlead a vocal masterclass.

“Whenever our studentshave an opportunity tointeract with someone ofNorma’s artistic stature, thelearning opportunities arehuge,” says Jared Burrows,academic co-ordinator ofCapilano University’s JazzStudies program. “Everystudent will take awaysomething different fromthe experience whether itbe specific musical ideas,new understanding of whatit means to be an artist, orsimply inspiration to con-tinue on their chosen path. Ithink all of the faculty mem-bers feel the same about thisexperience.”

For the performance,Winstone and NiteCap willperform movements fromthe “Sweet Time Suite,” com-posed by Kenny Wheeler, aswell as pieces from Mirrors,an album by Winstone,Wheeler and the LondonVocal Project.

“Norma is a big vocal jazzicon for all the members ofthe group. This concert is anopportunity they will neverforget. I can say that theyare really looking forwardto talking and working withher,” says Réjean Marois,NiteCap conductor andCapilano Jazz Studies pro-gram faculty member.

“A” Band’s repertoirefor the April 1 concertwith Winstone includes“Moondance,” arranged bySteve Gray, and Cole Porter’s“So In Love” and NickDrake’s “River Man,” botharranged by Michael Gibbs,among other selections.

“As with any opportunitylike this, I hope that my stu-dents really take advantageof the chance they will haveto perform with Norma onstage,” says Brad Turner, “A”Band leader and fellow Capjazz faculty member. “Thereis nothing for a young musi-cian like being inspired inreal time.”

British jazz vocalist NormaWinstone has amassed countless awards over her 40-year career,most recently earning the title Jazz Vocalist of the Year at the U.K.’s 2015 Parliamentary JazzAwards. PHOTO SUPPLIED

It rises to reveal a bucolicscene that might have been liftedstraight from a traditional wood-block print. Multiple charactersrhythmically plant rice, while toone side a figure swathed in blackchants the performers’ thanks tothe author of the play and intro-duces the narrator and the playerof a three-stringed shamisen lute,who kneel together on a sidestage. The narrator begins tointroduce the scene and its char-acters, while the shamisen playerheightens the drama with plangentnotes from the peculiarly deep-toned version of the instrumentpreferred in this type of theatre.

The bloody tragedy of TheVendetta by Two Sisters is about tounfold, based on a shocking truestory of 1717. Amidst staging andcostumes of an extravagance torival any kabuki performance, thesurprise is that the characters arepuppets. For this is the NationalBunraku Theatre in Osaka, thehome of bunraku puppet theatre.

Bunraku draws its name fromone particularly successful mid-19th century troupe, but hadits golden age during the 17th

century when it became a popularentertainment for the growingurban commoner class. At thattime Chikamatsu Monzaemon,bunraku’s Shakespeare, producedsweeping historical dramas,and tragedies such as The LoveSuicides at Sonezaki, also based ona notorious true story, in which adoomed love affair between a soyashop clerk and a high-class courte-san ended in a double stabbing.

The principal characters in thedrama are about three-quarterlife-size, and are operated bythree men each, mostly swathedand hooded in black, the colourof invisibility, although the gaudycostumes and painted faces of thepuppets draw the eye anyway.

The senior operator, one handup the back of the puppet tocontrol its head, and the othercontrolling the right arm, remainssoberly dressed and with hisfeatures visible, but these arekept more wooden than those ofthe puppet itself. Some of thesemen have been designated livingnational treasures, and their skillis in conveying emotion throughthe simplest means.

The narrator produces all thevoices including falsetto for thewomen, and the shamisen canproduce a powerful sadness, butthe lead puppeteer completes theemotion with a subtle dip of the

puppet’s head enough to bring asympathetic tear to the eye.

In The Vendetta by Two Sisters,first performed in 1780, one girlwitnesses the murder of herfather by a samurai, finds herlong-vanished sister in a Tokyopleasure-quarter brothel, andtogether they track down theirfather’s murderer and take his lifein turn.

A single-earpiece audio guidefor English-speakers provides awhispered translation and muchbackground into Japanese cultureof the time. Samurai were licensedto take the lives of recalcitrantcommoners. Selling oneself to abrothel to provide money for one’sparents was thought to show filialpiety. Vendetta was expected, andfailure to carry it out could bringpunishment. But when undertakenby women it was sufficiently sen-sational to ensure immortality in apuppet play.

British Columbia is aplace that favours theexplorer.

That’s lower-caseexplorer: we live in a big,wild province, and you canbe out in the wilderness inabout 30 minutes. What tour-ists fly halfway around theworld to see, we have accessto with just a short drive.

If you’re a family thatlikes a bit of adventure, youprobably want something

that reflects your affinity forbrightly coloured outdoorgear. A seven passengercrossover that’s actuallycalled the Explorer? Well,that’s just serendipitous, no?

We’ll leave the seriousoff-road antics to the likesof the Raptor for now, butto find out just how usefulthe Explorer is at a littlelight exploring, we loadedit up with kids and carriers,backpacks and snowshoes,

and headed up the Sea toSky Highway.

DESIGNLaunched in 2011 and

updated this year, theExplorer is more a refreshand facelift instead of anall-new model. That said,the refresh has created ahandsome beast, infusedwith a bit of F150 and maybeMustang. If you squint.

Among the changes, a

new set of LED headlightsand C-shaped lower foglightsgive the Explorer a bit of asportier look. This being theSport model, things get evensprightlier with a blacked-out treatment for the trim,20-inch machined-face alloys,twin chrome exhausts, andeven a bold all-caps Explorerscript across the nose. Itlooks great on first blush,but if you’re the type tonitpick, some of the trim

on my tester, particularlyin the area of the windowsurrounds and door seals,wasn’t quite as well lined upas could be hoped for.

ENVIRONMENTOn the inside, the

Explorer is again a refreshedversion of an older plat-form. The centre stack is aprofusion of buttons, and the

Explorer discovers a sportier look

The Ford Explorer gets a refreshed look in 2016 with a new Sport edition, an attractive beast that combines a little bit of F150 and Mustang into its exterior design. The Sport version gets a newturbo-charged V-6 engine that provides enough power for almost any situation you’ll encounter on the road. PHOTO SUPPLIED FORD

America’s first Honda has nine livesA biweekly roundup ofautomotive news, good,bad and just plain weird:

THE FIRST HONDA INAMERICA RESTORED

What’s the first Hondayou remember: probably anearly Civic, right? Well, whilethe pragmatic and cheerylittle Civic was Honda’s firstsuccess in North America,it wasn’t the first car thecompany exported here. Thatparticular honour belongs tothe even tinier N600, a two-cylinder peapod with a smallfootprint and big dreams.Somehow, against the odds,the first one ever shippedover has survived, and nowit’s coming back.

I drove an N600 a fewweeks ago in Ohio, an exampleout of a private collectionsituated a couple of hoursaway from Honda’s manufac-turing facility in Maryland.On twisting backroads it wasa brilliant little car, fizzy andbuzzy and eager. Think of it asa Japanese interpretation of aMini Cooper, and rememberthat Honda was building someexcellent motorcycles at thetime, and you’ll get a generalidea.

The story of how N600serial number 1 got savedis pretty crazy. A fleet of 50

Japanese-spec cars werepulled off Honda’s homeproduction line and fitted withlarger 600cc engines. Thenthey were shipped to theUnited States for cold weathertesting in the Midwest; atthe end of the experiment,the cars were shipped toHonda HQ in Gardenia, Calif.,to await their fate. Hondaexecs, dispassionate abouttheir machines, ordered themcrushed.

Off the 50 went to ascrapyard down the street,but a few days later a Hondaemployee spotted an N600buzzing down the road. Turnsout the scrap dealer soldthree of the cars out the backdoor; the rest were destroyedwhile Honda looked on, but afew had escaped.

Enter TimMings, the

only specialist Honda N600mechanic in the world. Mingsstumbled on one of theseearly cars sitting on a trailer,and bought it and anotherN600 sight unseen. He gotthem back to his garage,stuck ‘em in a corner andforgot about them. Then, oneday, he scraped away a bitof corrosion covering up theVIN, and there it was: Honda

N600-1000001.The car is being restored

now for the Long Beachclassic car show, and then isheaded to Honda’s museumin Torrance, Calif. It’s a littlebit of Honda history, lost thenfound.

AUTOMATIC BRAKINGSOON MANDATORY

While pundits everywhere

bicker over the timelineof the autonomous car’sarrival, some of the so-calledsemi-autonomous featuresare coming fast. Here’s thelatest agreement betweenthe U.S.A.’s National HighwayTraffic Safety Administrationand 20 major automakers:automatic emergency brakingwill be standard on all cars bySeptember of 2022.

That deadline seems along way off, but remember,the agreement is for all cars.Think of how something likethe backup camera prolifer-ated through model lineupsand you’ll get a general idea ofhow automatic braking mightspread out. First it’s onlyavailable on the fancy-pants

Sync system is the previousgeneration model, not theimproved version you get onthe smaller Escape.

There is, however, a lotof content here. The Sportmodel is intended to beboth a zippier version of theExplorer and an alternativeto the top-end Platinum,so it comes with both arelatively lofty price tag anda truckload of options. Orcrossover-load of options:whichever you prefer.

And along with yourheated and cooled frontseats and plenty of poweroutlets, there are a fewclever little features heresure to please the modernexplorer. From a practicalstandpoint, fitting child seatswas very easy, thanks to

well-thought-out hardpointsand Ford’s unique inflatablerear seatbelts. For an infantseat, the locking lower por-tion of the seatbelt was veryeasy to secure, and the twincaptain’s chairs should befar enough apart to pro-vide sibling rivalry with ademilitarized zone. The rearfolding seats are smallishfor adults (kids will be fine)and the push button foldingfeature is really useful. Thetrunk has useful depth to it,not unlike a minivan – wait,who said minivan? Don’tmention minivans!

For the driver, theExplorer offers plenty ofcubbies to store all yourpathfinding gear, includ-ing a very useful split-levelrubberized bin for yoursmartphone. The Explorerswallowed all our gear with

ease, and headed out.

PERFORMANCEThe main reason to opt

for the Sport version ofthe Explorer isn’t just thecosmetic upgrades, it’sthe inclusion of the twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre V-6under that hood. Making365 horsepower at 5,500r.p.m. and 350 foot-pounds oftorque from 3,500 r.p.m., it’sa forced-induction antidoteto the tried-and-true V-8.

Paired to a competentsix-speed transmission andstandard all-wheel drive,the Explorer has more thanenough shove for almostany circumstance. With theexception of one extra-curvyonramp that threw the trac-tion control a curveball, theExplorer was surprisinglyquick during our trip. It’llrun to 100 kilometres perhour in about the same timeas a Volkswagen GTI, andthrough the quarter-mileconsiderably quicker thana Hemi-equipped DodgeDurango.

The Sport also benefitsfrom several suspensionupgrades intended to makethis big horse gallop like aMustang. It’s better than it

used to be, and the con-fidence is there, howeverthe Explorer still “drivesbig,” feeling bigger behindthe wheel than it actuallyis. On the curvy Sea to SkyHighway, keeping a respect-able pace up was easy, butthis isn’t really a competitorto something like a BMW X5.

However, it’s not sup-posed to be. Further, theExplorer impresses with aquiet cabin and ride that’svery comfortable. Most vehi-cles shod with 20-inch alloyscan’t help but be choppy anytime the pavement is lessthan glassily smooth, but theExplorer’s big boots don’tseem to bother it. If it’s notan X5, then perhaps it’s abit Range-Roverish, quietlycapable on the road despitean impressive heft.

The Sport gets a quickersteering rack than otherExplorers, as well as theaforementioned revised sus-pension tuning. Even so, thesport here is less about howyou’ll drive this crossoverand more about where you’lldrive it. Plenty of power forpassing, a good ride for thefamily, and a bit more zipinside and out than youraverage kid-hauler, this Fordis more Explorer than Sport,

but that’s no bad thing.

FEATURESWith a price tag north

of $50K before options, onewould hope the ExplorerSport came with pretty much

everything you needed outof the gate. And it does, fromdual-zone climate control toparking assist to voice-acti-vated satellite navigation.The only real extras are thedual-panel sunroof, and the

adaptive cruise control,twinned with forward colli-sion warning.

versions with high-end stereosand navigation. Next youcan get it with cloth seats onthe mid-range models. Nextthing it’s in the cheapy baseversions.

Odds are, the end of thisdecade will see most compact-and-up cars coming with somekind of automatic braking.There are some argumentsto be made against the tech,both on added cost and theworsening of driving skills asour cars become ever moreautomated. However, 10 yearsdown the road when you stepoff the pavement onto thecrosswalk, an automated-brak-ing-equipped car just mightsuddenly seem like the bestidea in the world.

CAMARO SWINGS BACKAT MUSTANG

Never mind the sweetscience of boxing nor the grap-pling knee-strikes of MMA:the best brawling in the worldtakes place between Fordand GM, and you can actuallybuy their haymakers. Here’sChevrolet’s latest roundhouse,the heavy-hitting ZL1 Camaro,aimed right at the temple ofthe Mustang GT350.

And it’s a knockout punch.Not only does the ZL1 give theCamaro the huge power of atop-level Cadillac – a super-charged 6.2-litre V-8 making640 horsepower and 640 foot-pounds of torque – but theZL1 also gets a new 10-speedautomatic transmission. Ten!Count ‘em out while the otherguy lies dazed on the mat.

Add in GM’s stellarMagnetic Ride suspension, thestiff new lightweight chassisof the alpha platform, anddinner plate sized six-pistonbrakes, and you’ve got areal bruiser of a Camaro. If aCorvette won’t work for youbecause you occasionallyneed back seats, then here’sthe genuine GMweapon totake to the track. Heck, nevermind the Mustang: go huntingPorsches.

RENTAL CAR REALLYBEGGING TO BE RACED

Of course, not all of us canafford to keep a track-focusedpony car as a daily driver, notto mention that some of thebest tracks in the world area flight or two away. Not toworry, Hertz has you coveredwith the black-and-gold GT-H,the rental Mustang you canreally flog.

Here’s maybe an answerto the ZL1 then, as it’s alreadyproven that the fastest car inthe world is always a rentalcar. A rental car with a tunedsuspension and 400 h.p., 5.0-litre V-8? Better get the extradamage waiver.

Only 140 examples will bemade, so getting your handson the keys to a GT-H mightbe tricky. However, if yourdaily ride is a crossover, thena weekend away in a hot-rodFord might just be the bestbreak you can get.

Watch this space for all thebest and worst of automotivenews, or submit your own autooddities to [email protected].

THE CHECKERED FLAGPlenty of Explorer with

just enough Sport sprinkledon to be interesting.

CompetitionHONDA PILOT ($35,490)

Surprisingly light onits feet, the Honda Pilotis a proper seven-seater

crossover that drives a bitlike the Honda Accord does.Unlike the Explorer, the Pilotleaves the twin-turbo stuff tosupercars like the NSX andmakes do with a tried-and-tested V-6 and a relativelylight curb weight.

It’s a little less aggres-sive looking than the Ford,and slower in a straight line,but the Pilot is quicker thanyou’d expect. Nimble Hondaor fast Ford? It’s a questionwe’ve asked before.

The Explorer isn’t an off-road superstar but should be able totake your family where you want to go. PHOTO SUPPLIED FORD
