That story about howVancouver has the highestnumber of homeless peoplein recent history sure didn’tstay in the media conscious-ness for long.Probably eclipsed by
another real estate storyexplaining how everyone isdoomed except those with ahouse on the West Side.Or, maybe it was a story
about bike lanes, or mari-juana or a crow trying tomake off with a knife from acrime scene.Guilty as charged on a
few of those.The sad fact is this city is
full of desperate people butnews about homelessnesshardly gets any play beyondthe day of an announce-ment or release of a report.Write down this number:
1,847.Now imagine that many
people knocking on yourdoor, asking if they couldsleep on your floor for thenight. For music fans outthere, think about it thisway: That’s almost twice the
capacity of people allowed inthe Commodore Ballroom.Those 1,847 were the
number of homeless peoplethat volunteers counted inVancouver over two daysin March. It’s the highestnumber of homeless peoplerecorded since the city ledor participated in countsdating back to 2005.A total of 539 were
recorded as living/surviv-ing/existing on the street,including those in cars andcampers. The other 1,258were residing in a shelter ofsome sort.That number, by the way,
is an undercount.That means homeless
people who weren’t found orleft their sleeping spot beforevolunteers walked by weren’trecorded. Also, on one nightof the count, 315 peoplewere turned away from shel-ters. It’s unknownwhetherthey were counted later.Some of you might be
thinking that a jump from1,364 homeless people in2005 to 1,847 in 2016 kindof makes sense, since thecity’s overall population hasgrown, too.
A valid point.But how to explain the
numbers when consideringthe provincial governmentand the city have worked toopen 13 new buildings toprovide about 1,500 unitsof housing to get people offthe street and out of shelters?Also, keep inmind that 325
homeless people died in B.C.between 2006 and 2014.It’s long been said that
Vancouver has been a mag-net for poor people. Climaterefugees is a term I’veheard. The warm weather,the housing and the servicesare all here for the country’smost vulnerable.
Of 79 homeless peoplecounted inMarch who werein Vancouver for less than amonth, 13 were fromMetroVancouver, 22 from the restof B.C., 17 fromAlberta, 13from other provinces andnine from outside of Canada.No surprise then that
Seattle, San Francisco andLos Angeles are attrac-tive climates to America’shomeless. All of thosecities, by the way, are underhomelessness states ofemergency.Mayor Gregor Robert-
son and Vision VancouverCoun. Kerry Jang told melast week that senior govern-ments have to do moreto address the drivers ofhomelessness.So that means more treat-
ment for mental health andaddictions, keeping fosterkids in care longer, increas-ing welfare and disabilityrates, legislating a higherminimum wage and havingbetter transitions in placefor prisoners and patientswith no fixed address whoare released and discharged.And. Build. More.
Housing.
Sadly, the ask is notnews. Neither is Hous-ing Minister Rich Cole-man saying the provincialgovernment has donemore on this file than anyjurisdiction in Canada.Neither is Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau’s promiseto put money on the tablefor affordable housing anddevelop a national hous-ing strategy. The mayor’sfailed promise to endstreet homelessness by2015 is also old news.What will be news is
when the homeless popu-lation plummets. Rightnow, that seems unlikely.And that’s not good newsfor anyone.
• • •Something to watch: Al-
most all of San Francisco’smedia outlets — newspa-per, magazine, televisionand radio — will blitz thecity June 29 with coverageon homelessness. The goalis to put such a spotlighton the crisis that someonein government will dosomething meaningful toaddress the problem.

When Jillian Skeet startedher 10-year fight to keep hertownhouse complex stand-ing, she didn’t think it wouldend with her losing her homeand her community.“Where you guys are
now, that’s where I was in2009 and 2010,” Skeet toldthe Grandview-WoodlandArea Council (GWAC)Monday night during ameeting focused on renters.Skeet’s townhouse, along
with 69 others in theMarineGardens complex on South-westMarine Drive, will bedemolished this week tomake way for a developmentthat includes highrises.“Vancouver has become
a city of instability andanyone who is a renter liveswith a growing fear thatyou don’t know if you havesomewhere to live everymonth,” said Skeet, notingher neighbourhood wasone of the first areas to getrezoned and redevelopedin the city’s recent push fordensification.She warned Grandview-
Woodland communitymembers they may facerezoning as a result of thecity’s new community plan.The draft plan is set to bereleased on June 25.The Grandview-Wood-
land area runs south of theBurrard Inlet to Broadwayand is bounded by ClarkDrive and Nanaimo Street.It includes several busytransit areas with HastingsStreet, First Avenue, Com-mercial and Victoria Driveintersecting it.It’s a story Vancouverites
are all too familiar with:city plans for rezoning andincreased development putspressure on landlords toraise rent prices and leavesrenters with hefty rent costsand possible evictions.The 2011 Statistics
Canada Census indicated65 per cent of Grandview-Woodland residents arerenters, some of whom fear
the new neighbourhood plancould trigger mass evictions,homelessness and increasedbusiness with foreign buyers.Many of the 50 people
who attended the meetingraised concerns that evenif the neighbourhood gainsmore housing throughrezoning, it will lose rentersbecause of high rent costs.Area council members
criticized Rental 100, acity program that givesincentives to developers tobuild rental housing. Theprogram has been criticizedbecause of the high rents inthe buildings.
“We are offended thecity thinks that $1,260 permonth for a studio is af-fordable — it’s not afford-able when we raise familieson $28,000 a year,” saidKathleen Piovesan, an areacouncil member.Grandview-Woodland is
home to several co-ops andsocial housing programs,said Shawn Preuss, boardmember of Entre NousFemmes Housing Society.She said these programsare desperately needed ina community with mixed-income households.With a new neighbour-
hood plan, Preuss suspectsco-op buildings will have tobe remortgaged and rentedat market price, pushingpeople out.The issue is not unique
to Grandview-Woodland,Piovesan said. An absenceof strong government rentcontrol, sudden neighbour-
hood changes and “re-novictions” have promptedseveral protests in recentyears, including a sleepoverat city hall last month andthe #DontHave1MillionTwitter campaign last year.The area council asked
for suggestions and solu-tions Monday night. Theaudience pitched ideas suchas a Red Square campaign,similar to the 2012Mon-treal student solidarity dem-onstration that protestedtuition fee hikes. One per-son suggested 200 peopleoccupy Trump Tower andforce it to be revamped intolow-income housing, top-ping out at $500 per month.Others asked for “good
practical tools we can use toput up a damn good fight,”while another called for land-lords and the city to “ownthat they’re screwing us overand profiting off of it.”“Housing is becoming
many things; it’s a com-modity, it’s a workplace forreal estate agents, for us it’sa home,” said one youngwoman.As for the former Marine
Gardens residents, mosthave left Vancouver, Skeetsaid. With a 0.6 per centvacancy rate city-wide, ac-cording to a 2015 CanadaMortgage and HousingCorp report, and a growinginstability in the city, Skeetthinks, “the city is beinghollowed out. In 10 years Ithink it will become a bit ofa ghost town.”

Legal actionalso nameslandlords [email protected]
The city continues toramp up its legal fightagainst illegal marijuanadispensaries and plansto seek court injunctionsagainst an additional 38pot shop operators andtheir landlords.A week ago, the city
announced it filed thenecessary paperwork inB.C. Supreme Court toseek injunctions against17 pot shop operatorswho continue to operatein defiance of the city’snew business licenceregulations.“We’re serious,” An-
dreea Toma, the city’schief licensing inspector,told the Courier Monday.But that seriousness
will have to be tested inthe courts and could takesome time before hearing
dates are scheduled. Aninjunction would give thecity a court order to forcean operator to shut downa dispensary.If an operator dis-
missed the order, the citycould then go back tocourt and seek to havethe operator hit withheavy fines or even jailed.Though the city has beenissuing tickets to opera-tors, the court action in-cludes the city going afterlandlords.For example, court
documents filed by thecity against the B.C. PainSociety at 2908 Com-mercial Dr. include op-erator Chuck Varabioff,his numbered company(1018580 B.C. Ltd.) andlandlords Michael andTatyana Gertsoyg.“It’s their responsibility
to ensure that who theyhave in their commer-cial space is required tohave a business licence,”Toma said.Varabioff said he
wasn’t aware his land-lords were named in thedocuments. He called ita “scare tactic” and saidthe Gertsoygs support him
“a million per cent.” TheCourier was unable to con-tact the Gertsoygs beforedeadline. Varabioff saidthey were out of town.Late last year, the city
informed Varabioff anddozens of other dispen-sary operators to closetheir doors by April 29.The deadline came afterthe society lost a Boardof Variance appeal toremain open.Varabioff has since re-
quested a judicial reviewof the board’s decision.Meanwhile, he continuesto operate his pot shopand the city issued himnine $250 tickets foroperating without a busi-ness licence.“I figured once they
filed the injunction, that’sit and then we’d wait forthe courts to decide it,”he said. “But, no, theycame in every single daylast week and they tick-eted me.”Varabioff said he refuses
to pay the tickets and willdispute them in court. It’san unfortunate process,he added, that wastes histime and money and thatof taxpayers.

at the Italian Cultural Centre on June 17from 4pm to 8pm, with others following onJuly 15 andAug. 19. “We hold themarketsmonthly during the summer and thenthere’s a Christmas-themed IlMercato onNovember 25,” says Lorenzo.Il Mercato doesn’t just spread Italian
joy throughout the city, but combines thetastes of Italy with local farm produce, liveentertainment, and activities for the kidsprovided by the Italian Cultural Centre’slanguage school.“This is the first cultural market of its kindin Vancouver and it features great organicproduce, handmade products from localartisans, fabulous entertainment, and ournew pizza oven.”The new community pizza oven, aninitiative of the Italian Cultural Centre, will

“If I pay those tickets,I’m admitting I’m guiltyof something,” he said.“I’m guilty of absolutelynothing and all I wantis my day in court, soto speak, and I want afair Board of Variancehearing. That’s what I’mfighting for.”If Varabioff ultimately
loses his appeals and isforced to shut down, he willlikely be operating an-other pot shop at 2849 EastBroadway. The city hasissued him a developmentpermit and he is close togetting a business licence.“People may say, ‘Oh,
he’s just being greedy.’But my main store is mymain store that runs all theoperations and I need thatin place in order to oper-ate anything,” he said.The city’s move to of-
fer licences to pot shopscame after city councilvoted last June to intro-
duce rules for annuallicence fees, criminalrecord checks and zoningregulations that prohibita dispensary from operat-ing within 300 metresof schools, communitycentres, neighbourhoodhouses and each other.The city has always
maintained the purpose isto regulate the business,not the marijuana. Thefederal government haspromised to introducelegislation next springthat would legalize mari-juana but details of howthe law would relate todispensaries is unclear.“A lot of businesses
within the industry areexpecting the federal gov-ernment to change ourcurrent bylaws,” Tomasaid. “I don’t see thathappening. I don’t thinkthat’s going to be a real-ity. I think they’re goingto be complementary.”
As of Tuesday, the cityissued 313 $250 ticketsto pot shops. So far, 47tickets have been paid. Atotal of 51 dispensaries,including Varabioff’s,continue to operate indefiance of the city’s newregulations.An additional 30 shops
remain open but are notsubject to enforcementbecause they are workingwith the city to acquire abusiness licence.A total of 34 dispensa-
ries have complied withthe city’s new regulationsand have either closedor are no longer sellingmarijuana since the April29 deadline.So far, the city has
issued one businesslicence to a dispensary.The Wealth Shop at suite104-4545 West 10thAve. in Point Grey beganoperating last month.

With each footstep, thevisitor’s eye is drawn toplaque after plaque set intothe concrete entrance wayof the Immigrant ServicesSociety of B.C.’s new “Wel-come Centre.”All 18 plaques are written
in a different language.In Spanish: Bienvenidos.In Swahili: Karibu.In Somali: SooDhowaada.And so on.The translation of each is
“welcome.”The idea for what
amounts to be both an artpiece and a large, strate-gically placed concretewelcome mat was inspiredby a similar installationChris Friesen saw on a tripto a public plaza in Geneva.Amid the cobblestones inthe old part of that city werevarious sayings, all lit up forpedestrians to see.“It was one of those ideas
that came tome in themiddle of the night,” saidFriesen, the society’s directorof settlement services, as hestood among the plaques lastThursday and read out someof the various pronuncia-tions of “welcome.” “It willbe kind of a quiz for folks tofigure out which is which.”The attraction serves as
a teaser to what is behindthe doors of the six-storey,$24.5-million centre atVictoria Drive and East10th Avenue.The centre received its
occupancy permit May30— personally given toFriesen fromMayor GregorRobertson — and openedits doors the next day. Ten-ants are expected to beginmoving in this week.Inside is Friesen’s dream
realized. He proudly statesthere is no other facility in
the world for newcomers —refugees, refugee claimantsand immigrants — that of-fers such variety of servicesunder one roof.He lists them off: 18 self-
contained apartments (withshared laundry) that canhouse 130 people, a healthclinic, a pre-school, a play-ground, a drop-in centrefor young people, Englishlanguage programs, mentalhealth counselling, supportprograms for victims oftrauma, services for refugeeclaimants, governmentservices related to social as-sistance and a bank.
RefugeeclaimantsDuring the Courier’s visit,
clients were participating inEnglish language programs(one class was learning theprovinces of Canada) andothers were meeting withvarious service workers,including refugee claimantKhawja Farid Sediqi fromAfghanistan.Sediqi, a champion pow-
erlifter, said he crossed the
border last month from theUnited States into Canada,where he made a refugeeclaim. A worker fromSettlement Orientation Ser-vices, or SOS, was assistinghim with his claim when hespoke briefly to the Courierabout the centre.“I like it because the
organizations are very goodand very nice and in thesame building,” said Sediqi,who currently resides in adowntown shelter.The goal of the new centre
is to open up some of theapartments to claimants suchas Sediqi, although govern-ment-assisted refugees areexpected to be the primarytenants of the 18 units.KerstinWalter, SOS direc-
tor, said having some housingon site will allow claimantsto have access to all the ser-vices that might otherwise bespread across the city.Walter gave the example
that a client could get helpwith a welfare applicationbefore crossing the hall toopen a bank account at
Vancity, which donated $1million to the centre andhas a kiosk in the build-ing. The credit union alsoplaced an automated tellermachine outside the centre.“For the client, it’s
great to have a one-stopshop,” she said, notingthe advantage of beingco-located with a varietyof agencies, including theVancouver Association forthe Survivors of Torture.“Settlement is so linked tomental health. If peopledon’t have stable housing,which is settlement, they’llbe anxious and it’s going tobe hard for them to be calmduring their [Immigrationand Refugee Board] hear-ing, if they’re really stressed.So being together in onespace, we can make sure wedo the best for our clients.”The apartments at the
centre are all named afteran emotion or value such as“perseverance” or “opti-mism.” “Aspiration” is afour-bedroom suite on thefifth floor outfitted with bunk
beds, two bathrooms and afull kitchen, with views of theNorth Shoremountains.The same floor has two
interlocking suites capableof housing a family of 16people. Another suite is setup for people with disabili-ties, including those who areblind, deaf or mute.
SyrianwavesubsidesTypically, the occupants
will stay in an apartment fortwo to three weeks beforemoving to a permanentresidence. Occupancy isexpected to be steady asmore refugees arrive inVancouver.The opening of the centre
comes after Vancouverwelcomed a wave of Syrianrefugees during the fall andwinter. That wave has sub-sided with all but three of 350families having found perma-nent housing in the region.About 1,300 Syrians and
another 458 government-assisted refugees fromAfrica,Iraq and other countries areexpected to arrive betweenSeptember andDecember.Some, however, will arrivethis week, coming straightfrom the Vancouver Interna-tional Airport to the centre.“Imagine, you’re coming
from a tent in the MiddleEast or Africa to this,” saidFriesen, standing inside oneof the apartments.Friesen noted the families
won’t be as large as some ofthose that arrived over thelast year. Fewer refugeeswith special needs will alsobe destined for Vancouver.The new centre will
replace the society’s original70-bed “WelcomeHouse”onDrake Street. The societysold the building to Cov-enant House but worked outa deal to lease the propertyuntil nextMarch.The 2400 Court Motel
on Kingsway, which wasup until a few months ago athriving Syrian communityof more than 200 people,will remain as temporaryhousing for refugees.The other temporary
housing locations, includ-ing Vancouver’s Sandman,Marriott, Century Plazaand Landis hotels are emptyof refugees. The Pendrellapartments will close torefugees later this month.Funding for the new
centre came from the saleof the society’s Drake Streetbuilding, along with the so-ciety’s cash reserves, contri-butions from all three levelsof government, a $1 milliondonation from Vancity andprivate donations.Lord Byng students also
raised $5,000 to pay forfurniture at the centre’syouth centre, which is out-fitted with a television andfoosball table.
Social cohesionNear the end of the tour,
Friesen stopped in one ofthe apartments to reflect onhow he felt after five yearsof planning and construc-tion of the centre to finallysee the doors open.When he received the
occupancy permit fromthe mayor, he told him hewas going home to have acold beer. The hard workwill all be worth it, hesaid, when families beginarriving this week.“It really takes the whole
issue of social cohesion,immigrant integration— allof this — to a new height,”he said. “To find one centrewhere people so new to thecountry don’t have to navi-gate all over the place anddeal with all the complexitiesthat comes with starting outin a new country, is great.”

Sandra Singh stillremembers tapping herfingers on a printed key-board foldout 38 yearsago and hearing nothingbut the pitter-patter of herfingertips playing on herdining room table.“Not being able to
actually hear myself playwas so dispiriting,” saidthe city’s chief librarian,who grew up in a low-income, first-generationimmigrant family.Singh hopes that won’t
be the case for futurewould-be musiciansthanks to VancouverPublic Library’s newestprogram — the Sun LifeFinancial Musical Instru-ment Lending Library,based at the centralbranch, which launchedTuesday.“With this program,
hopefully every Vancou-verite will get to play theinstrument they alwayswanted — and be able tohear it too,” she said.As the first program of
its kind in Vancouver, andjust the second in a Ca-nadian public library, thefree program will providelibrary card holders theopportunity to borrow avariety of instruments forup to nine weeks.Sun Life donated
$130,000, as well as 100instruments, includingguitars, banjos, violinsand keyboards to jump-
start the program. “Publiclibraries have always beena platform for encourag-ing creativity, ideas andtalent,” Singh said. “Thisprogram was just a naturalextension for us.”In addition to the
actual instruments, thecentral library also offershow-to videos on instru-ment care, music learn-ing books, sheet music, aclassical and jazz musicstreaming service, an in-library CD collection andrecording studios.The Toronto Public
Library Parkdale branchis the only other publiclibrary in Canada that of-
fers a similar service. Alsoin partnership with SunLife Financial, the instru-ment lending program inToronto has been wildlysuccessful since its incep-tion April 7. “All instru-ments were borrowedwithin the first five days ofthe launch,” Vindra Ram-
narine, a representative ofthe Parkdale library, toldthe Courier. “As soon asan instrument is returnedand inspected, it usu-ally gets borrowed againwithin that day.”In addition to the
instruments given by SunLife, the VPL launched
an instrument donationdrive, on now until July4. Singh said she hopes itwill improve and expandthe program to meet theanticipated demand. Thecentral library is the VPL’slargest and busiest branch,receiving more than 6,000visitors a day, said Marya
Gadison, a representativeof the VPL.“With so many people
coming in and out, there’sgoing to be a huge wantfor these instruments,”Gadison said. “I hope thedrive will bring in lots ofinstruments so we can ac-commodate that demand.Besides, they’re probablyjust collecting dust inpeople’s attics anyway.”Singh, who never
picked the piano back upafter dropping out of herjunior high school’s band,has since lived vicariouslythrough her 13-year-oldson who was “surely”encouraged to play thepiano. However, with thenew instrument rentalprogram, Singh hasn’truled out getting reac-quainted with the blacksand whites just yet.The public can drop off
new or gently used musi-cal instruments at anyVancouver Public Librarybranch and at two partici-pating Long and McQuadelocations in Vancouverand Surrey. Visit www.vpl.ca/instruments for moreinformation.

THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 2016 THE VANCOUVER COURIER A9
From Bob Rennie’s lips to PremierChristy Clark’s ear. Well, youwould think. But you would bewrong.
There was Rennie, B.C’s “Condo King,”Clark’s chief political fundraiser, preachingto the choir at the Urban Development In-stitute luncheon last Thursday. Here’s theguy who probably more than anyone elsehas turned on the tap to deliver enormoussums of cash from the real estate industryinto provincial Liberal party coffers.
One of his key messages to keep thedevelopment industry roaring ahead, andBritish Columbia’s economy leading thepack in Canada, was simple: public transit.We need more.The jobs, the investment, the growth
this region has seen — whether you likethe changes to your neighbourhood, thesoaring cost of real estate being driven upby buckets of foreign capital leading to theend of the dream for single-family houses inVancouver except for the very wealthy — itwill all grind down, if the province doesn’t
get serious about funding public transit.There in the front of the crowd, nibbling
on his chicken and salad, was Clark’s min-ister responsible for regional transportation,Peter Fassbender. People initially thought,given that he was able, with the help ofmediator Vince Ready, to clear up theprovince’s most recent battle with teachersthat he could actually get things going withmunicipal mayors on regional transit.
So far, all we’ve got is a guy playing sillybugger. He’s been negotiating through themedia instead of sitting down with the re-gion’s political leaders, calling them “crazy”and threatening that Ottawa will withdrawits promise of funding from transit if themayors don’t move.Rennie suggests the way to meet housing
demands is by building in the burbs andputting in transit to serve that development.But all we seem to be offered is the
Massey Bridge, 10 lanes across the southarm of the Fraser at a cost of more than $4billion and even more traffic congestion.Even if the mayors buy Rennie’s notion
that increased density will be required tomeet the needs of a growing population,and a number do, there is still the roadblockcreated by the province.Christy’s guy will not agree with the may-
ors on just how that transit will be funded.And, most pointedly, Fassbender continuesto refuse to return the running of Trans-Link to the mayors — which would be adeal-breaker for most.Instead, Fassbender et al insist that
TransLink be run by an unelected board offolks handpicked by the province while themayors take the heat for any tax increasethey agree to in order to fund the system.Then there is this issue.With increased density, as North Van-
couver Mayor Darrell Mussatto points out,“the city becomes everyone’s backyard.”
That means the CACs (CommunityAmenity Contributions) being paid bydevelopers should continue to be used tobuild amenities including parks, librariesand community centres that will makethe various municipalities adding densitymore livable.Now Fassbender wants those CACs to
be used to fund transit.One other point Rennie made, which
flies in the face of Vancouver’s Green-est City strategy: People have to get overthe notion, he says, that they can live nearwhere they work. He thinks Vancouvershould simply give up providing enough af-fordable housing to meet the needs of thosewho find employment in this city.And if you thought that somehow limit-
ing foreign investment would help with af-fordability, you won’t get any support fromRennie. At the most, he would entertain
the idea of a “speculation tax,” which prob-ably wouldn’t do much to slow the flowof that capital. There, he and Christy areactually in sync. The Liberals will do noth-ing to affect an economy that will reducethe value of your home — and retirementfund — because they are making a bundlealong with many others in this overheatedmarket.Instead and again, for Rennie, public
transit is the answer.Make commutingmoreefficient than what car-plugged highwayshave to offer by adding buses, and subways insufficient numbers and condos and town-houses will follow, all the way up the Valley.Failing that, he predicts the boom in
development will fade. So, you think thatwould catch the attention of the premier.But so far she has not indicated that she ispaying the slightest bit of attention.

Pool’s a priorityRe: “Outdoor pools tough to justifyin Vancouver,” May 30
It is becoming tougher and tougherto justify not building outdoor pools inVancouver.Park board commissioner John Coupar’s
motion passed onMay 30 to expeditebuilding new outdoor pools. Vancouveris deficient in outdoor pools, and this de-ficiency is within the elected park board’smandate to address. TheMay 30 motionis a big step in the right direction.The 2011 recommendation by Hugh
CondonMarler Architects (HCMA) toonly build outdoor pools next to indoorpools or community centres was neveradopted into park board policy.HCMA designed the Hillcrest aquatic
facility. In 2012, Hillcrest’s operat-ing costs far exceeded the architects’projections. Regarding the $400,000difference between Hillcrest’s revenuesand costs, the Hillcrest manager said: “Idon’t view it as a shortfall, but I look atit as an investment. That $400,000 is aninvestment in our community, for get-ting people to be active and healthy.”Using Jasper’s logic that public facili-
ties should not be built because they costtoo much money to operate, we shouldimmediately close all swimming pools, icerinks, and virtually every other park facilitybefore Park Board loses any more money!In 2010, the Mount Pleasant Park
Master Plan, including the outdoor poolreplacement, became park board policy.This project can be expedited the mo-ment funds are allocated. Even more newpools are likely to be endorsed through theupcoming Aquatic Strategy.Jasper pleaded to the elected park board
through theCourier, “This board shouldprioritize money from the next capital plan.Maybe it doesn’t happen in four years, butmaybe it happens in five or six. If they do itsmart, they can do it in a way that is fiscallyresponsible and better serves parts of the citysuch as South Vancouver andMarpole.”It’s too bad that Vision did not “do it
smart” during their seven years in office.Margery Duda, Mount Pleasant

nothing, for absolutely nothing, exceptdestroying a beautiful, formerly func-tional city: endless empty, vacuous,media-hype promises (and houses) withno action nor minimal, measurablesuccess; gulping down your coffers withgreedy developer money; no afford-able housing; increased homelessness;pandering to (financial) contributors toclose important roads and by-ways andfor totally screwing up the downtownstreets with endless, endless emptybike lanes. The “greenest city” agenda,another folly - the amount of houses youhave permitted to be destroyed, utterlydestroying historical neighbourhoodsand communities, without provisionsfor mandatory recycling of waste (is)absolutely disgusting and such a bold-face lie.

Student trustee TimmeZhao has given the city’sstudent body a voice atthe Vancouver SchoolBoard for the past year,weighing in on hot-buttonissues such as the 2016-17operating budget, whichthe board rejected April28, and the proximity ofmarijuana dispensaries toschools. As the graduatingBritannia secondary studentprepares to hand the roleover to incumbent IsabellaPreite from Kitsilano sec-ondary, he reflected on therole of the student trustee,the lessons he’s learned andthe need for student inputinto decisions.
What were your expecta-tions going into the job asstudent trustee?I didn’t have any expecta-
tions becausemy predeces-sor didn’t tell memuchabout the position. I guessshe thought it would be bet-ter if I just went into it with aclear mind of what I wantedto accomplish. I didn’t ex-
pect much, but what I reallywanted to do was fight forwhat students should have—things like better structuresfor their buildings— andI really wanted to fight forthe LGBTQ situation andget some [gender] neutralwashrooms into schools.
Do adults value students’input?They’re trying to get
more student involvementin the discussion and thestudent trustee does help alot because it [bridges] from
the student level all the wayup to the trustee level andthe people that make thedecisions. Adults are valuingstudents’ [opinions] more.However, whenever staff andteachers and the trustees talkabout “we’re doing this forthe students,” I always speakup. Students are so differ-ent, they range somuch, andsometimes adults don’t reallyrealize that, you know?
What is the student takeon the VSB budget and edu-cation funding?
As a student that knowswhat’s happening at theboard, I understand whythey’re cutting so much.But honestly, I can’t saythat that’s the student per-spective because I’m veryinvolved at the trustee level.If you’re a regular studentit would be very difficult tounderstand why they’d cut$24 million. I think thatthis [budget] proposal’scompletely unreasonable.It’s systemic. How didwe get to this $24 million[shortfall]? It’s not like we
started from zero and thenext year we were at 24. It’sbeen an ongoing thing since2002. Even in previousyears when [trustees would]say this is cut and this is cut,there [would be] a little bitof outrage from the public,the trustees [wouldn’t] domuch and life goes on. Thisyear it’s different becausethe trustees realized thatwe’re hitting our limits[and] we can’t cut anymore.It’s taken 14 years to finallydecide to vote against [pro-posed cuts]. There’s notmuch I can do at this pointreally [other than] just trustthe trustees to do what theythink is right.
What have you learnedfrom your time as a studenttrustee?First off, I can say with
confidence that politics isn’twhat I want to go in to. Ilove representing studentsbut I couldn’t possiblyimagine being one of thetrustees and dealing withthat on a daily basis. It’s adifferent responsibility ona different level. I can saythat [one] skill I gained was
definitely listening to peopleand being open-minded.It’s kind of reinforced thatit’s not about me, it’s aboutthe student that’s being af-fected, the student that hasthe complaint. I’ve learnedto listen and to really for-mulate an idea.
What is it about politicsthat makes you not want togo in to it?Sometimes I feel like
[trustees] don’t always votefor what they think is right,but [instead] what theythink that their [party] hasto vote for. I feel it infringeson one’s own personal be-liefs and I don’t think that’ssomething that I want to do.Also, a lot of people dependon you as a politician, andsometimes you have to de-cide to vote against what thepublic thinks is right, andthat’s something that I don’tthink I would be able to do.I just don’t think I would beable to take the backlash.This interview was edited
and condensed. See vancou-rier.com for the full version ofthe interview.

First of all,I love fishing in
British Columbia.
BIANCA CHAN [email protected]
After decades spent on the water, senior Mary Peachinhas written a guide to sport fishing in B.C.
Anyone who’s experiencedHaida Gwaii at sunrise willnever forget it. As the sunbegins its ascent, the air isso salty, you can lick yourlips and salivate from thenatural brine of the Pacific.
Haida Gwaii is thenorthern-most point youcan fish in British Columbiaand on a clear day, youcan just see the southeastpanhandle of Alaska in thedistance. Herring dancewildly on the ocean’sturquoise surface, tablingan easy meal for the divingbald eagles. With achingbiceps, fishermen andwomen rhythmically and
strenuously wind up theirheavy reels, unveiling theanticipated catch. Formost West Coasters, it’s astomach-churning navalexpedition, with gale forcewinds and a rare sighting ofa finning humpback whale.For Mary Peachin, “it’s justanother day in the HaidaGwaii.” Peachin, whose lifereads as a best-selling novelin itself, recently wrote aguidebook about sportfishing in B.C.
“First of all, Ilove fishingin BritishColumbia.To me, it’s
the world’s greatest and hasthe best of everything,” thesilver-haired adventurertold theCourier. “I’m mostfond of the Chinook.”
When Peachin isn’t sportfishing on theWest Coastor wintering in Tucson,AZ, her travels includechasing sharks in theCaribbean, cycling acrossArizona, and encounteringexotic animals, from
swimming with theelusive whale
shark tostalkingpolarbears.

“A guy will reach his armout to help me cross thestreet,” Peachin laughed,“not realizing I’ve hit sharkson the nose while cagediving or encountered crocsin the Solomon Islands.”
Her newly-released book,Sport Fishing in BritishColumbia, which can
be ordered on Amazon,includes stories fromPeachin’s 40 years of anglerexperience, informationon salt and fresh waterfish species found in B.C.,fishing techniques and alist of lodges and fisheries.With what she calls a voidin the market for “goodB.C. fishing guides,”
Peachin took it into her ownhands to write one herself.
Peachin gives her husbandthe credit for her avid senseof adventure, ultimatelyleading Peachin to her twogreatest passions in life:scuba diving and fishing.

“One day he bought mescuba lessons. Little did heknow I’d spend the next 25years searching for a whaleshark,” Peachin said.
As for fishing, Peachinstarted angling, trawlingand jigging when she waspregnant about 40 yearsago. While sea-sicknesswas a given, Peachin was,evidently, hooked.
“I miss the old dayssometimes when fishweren’t endangered,”she said.
As a big believer in catch-and-release, the award-winning fisher comesto grips with a growingendangerment issue andworsening environmentalconditions.
Peachin’s Sport Fishingin British Columbia hasreceived high praisefrom other sport fishersand readers. This mostrecent nautical guide isthe author’s most popularbook, outselling thepreviously published TheComplete Idiot’s Guide toSharks, Scuba Caribbean,and Sharks: The Sleek and

Do people really talk likethese characters? Not in mycircle of witty, articulatefriends. But Jen (ClaireHesselgrave) talks likeshe’s scripted by someonevery smart, funny, hip, andtotally up-to-date on popculture. That someone isplaywright Jordan Hall,whose play, Kayak, won the2010 Samuel French Cana-dian Playwrights Competi-tion.Favourite line inHow
To Survive An Apocalypse?“No one listens to uglyfeminists.” Runners up?“The apocalypse will not begluten free” and, regardingher friend Abby (LindseyAngell), Jen says, “She’sthe kind of train wreck guysthrow themselves under.”Lines like these just
keep coming at you. Theplay is the culmination ofTouchstone Theatre’s fifthFlying Start cycle, a programdesigned to get scripts byemerging professional play-wrights off the page and ontothe stage.HowTo Survive isa collaborative effort betweenTouchstone, PlaywrightsTheatre Centre (PTC) andthe Firehall Arts Centre.Directed by Touchstone’s
artistic director KatrinaDunn, it’s a fast-pacedtwo hours with some veryrapid scene changes as David
Roberts’ set—with itslovely backdrop of paintedtrees— is transformed frominside the trendy apartmentof Jen and Tim (SebastienArchibald) to a campgroundand back again.With all those snappy
one-liners, audiences willlaugh, but if the world thatJen and Tim have inheritedis soulless, so is this play un-til very near the end whenthe real plight of Jen andTim— the breakdown oftheir relationship — is ap-parent. The world is not go-ing to end but “their world”might be collapsing. Do wecare? Not enough. Self-absorption is not endearingand all four characters sufferfrom it.At 27, Jen is the editor/
publisher of a magazinewith falling readership anddeclining revenue. The
chairman of the board hasbrought in Bruce (ZahfParoo), a high-powered,entrepreneurial consultantto “re-brand” the magazinein an effort to save it. Jenand Bruce lock horns untilthey lock lips. That’s not aspoiler alert; it’s so obvious.Jen is married to six-
month unemployed Tim, agame designer who even-tually gets carried awaydesigning a video gamein which he and Jen facefloods, earthquakes andnuclear disasters. Mean-while, Jen has turned intoa “prepper,” someoneconvinced the apocalypse isnigh and buying bottled wa-ter because, as Tim tells anastonished Jen, “water willnot come out of the taps”when the world ends.Abby, Jen’s friend,
dumped by her husband for
a younger woman, drinkstoomuch and is the trainwreck under which Brucethrows himself. For mostof the play Abby is drunk,ditzy and horny and Angellis wonderfully goofy in therole. Costumer ChristopherDavid Gauthier puts Abbyin lovely, filmy, shawly thingsand ambitious, mouthy Jenin tight, bum-fitting pants.So who do we like inHow
To Survive An Apocalypse?No one in particular. There’svery little chemistry betweenHesselgrave and Paroo.We do feel sorry for
Archibald’s hapless, hope-less Tim, but Tim’s five-yearmarriage to Jen is foundedon her always looking afterhim.Ultimately, we feel sorry
for all the real millennialswho believe, as did Jen, ifthey get an education andwork hard, the world is theirsfor the taking.The best they can hope
for, however, is thatMommyandDaddy bought a housein Vancouver back in the’60s or ’70s and that theyinherit that windfall beforethey, too, need hip and kneesurgery.For more reviews, go to

Not that it ever wentaway, but brunch is backwith a vengeance.A recent foray into
Yaletown found me lookingat the business end of aserious Caesar at Wild TaleCoastal Grill. They don’tmess around here, wherethe house Caesar comesgarnished with lemon,cucumber and a morsel ofcandied salmon.Wild Tale is run by the
same folks who own thesuccessful Flying Pig restos.An element of that flairshows up in a couple ofbrunch dishes, which mirrorthe restaurant’s mainly sea-food focus, which also hap-pens to be heavily OceanWise — another good thing.Faves at our table
ranged from the gener-ously portioned crab cakesBenny (a pair of ‘em) andsmoked salmon Benedict,to chicken and waffles andavocado toast on excellentmultigrain. The crab cakesare seriously crabby and,overall, the plates are well
conceived and attractivelyexecuted. An added bonusis the sun-drenched loadingbay patio (shaded on hotdays) that’s now a Yaletownhallmark. (1070MainlandSt., wildtale.ca )
Brasserie is backMore than a fewWest

Wang has fully embracedthe restaurant’s Franco-German style and eventu-ally hopes to open a secondlocation in his hometownof Tangshan, China. Wangloved the former La Bras-serie so much that whenhe heard it was closing hedecided to buy it.Brunch is very much part

Some kid shrieked, “Theponies are here!” and thatlittle voice seemed to ricochetthrough the noise of the DJand past the yelps comingfrom the dunk tank where asoaking boy was being sub-jected to the precision throwsof his baseball team into theears of every child attend-ing Saturday’s CelebratingMount Pleasant festival.A tiny pony named
Pumpkin appeared fromthe horse trailer with aslightly larger pony namedTruck, mother of Tonkawho was busy with chil-dren at a birthday party inCoquitlam, and were ledacross the gravel sports fieldat Mount Pleasant elemen-tary school to start work.A lineup had already
formed at the side of thefield; all followed the samescript when it was their turn— rider’s hands clutchedthe horn of the saddle, oneparent’s arm around therider to serve as a seat-beltwhile the other lived themoment through pixels ontheir phone camera as theentourage lapped the field.Danielle Burgess, 22, is
both pony ride supervisorand driver of the enormouspick-up truck and three-horse trailer for LaughingStock Ranch. Similar to amidway carnie, she makessure the ride is smooth andpeople aren’t hurt.
“The ponies, they loveit. They just walk, right?”she said as a toddler, rightafter being plopped into thesaddle, contorted its faceinto the comically gruesomemix of delight and horror.“And the kids love thembecause they’re their size.Most kids in the city, if theygo to take riding lessons, it’son big horses so this givesthem a different comfortzone. They’re small, theycan move them around.They’re like a big dog!”The ponies, with their
glitter-filled manes, are aregular feature of the festi-val, which had everythingone would expect a carnivalto be on the grounds of an
elementary school. Gameswere scattered about thegrassy field that also includ-ed the ubiquitous bouncycastle. There was also bakedgoods and plants for sale, abarbecue where many a dadwas to be found, magic bythe blue suit wearing AlexSeaman and, inside thegymnasium, tortoises, ta-rantulas and snakes broughtin by The Reptile Guy.The ponies, which have
to be booked half-a-year inadvance due to demand, areproof alone the festival’s or-ganizers Loree Campbell andCarie Helm had it together— a feat for the first-timeorganizers who took over thereins from last year’s group
whose kids are now in theirfinal year atMount Pleasant.“Ours are both in kin-
dergarten — they’re goingto burn us out in the firstyear,” joked Campbell. Theparental tour of volunteerduty is a sign of moderntimes, she added, and thereason for the festival’sexistence, as it was part ofa years-long fundraisingdrive to raise $180,000 for anew school playground andoutdoor seating installedlast year. The VancouverSchool Board deemed theprevious playground unsafeand tore it down; the onlyremnant of its existenceis through Google Maps,where it even looks sad
and old through the fuzzysatellite image. The cash-strapped board taketh, butwon’t replace, which is whyparents become fundrais-ing experts and deft projectmanagers by the time theirchildren reach Grade 7.The school may have
built its expansive play-ground, but the ParentAdvisory Committee’s fun-draising efforts continue foritems such as school fieldtrips and outdoor sportsequipment, said Campbell.“Our theme this year is a
celebration of communityand so we wanted to giveback to the community,” shesaid. “We wanted to make itas low-cost as possible, to try
and appeal to all.”Having such old-timey
carnival staples as ponyrides guarantees that.“We get repeat customers,
all the time,” said Burgess,while prepping Stella totake over for Pumpkin, whoheaded to shade for a waterbreak. “When we did BloedelConservatory’s [EnchantedNights] we had unicornheadbands and the girl whomade them did a really, reallygood job.We convinced 80per cent of the people thatthey were real unicorns.“We’d have little girls tellingtheir mothers, ‘Mom. I toldyou unicorns were real.’ Yeah,man. It’s always a good time.”

Muffaletta is both around Sicilian sesamebread and a sandwich thatoriginated from Italian im-migrants in New Orleans,
Louisiana. This recipe isneither of those things, butwe’ve drawn inspirationfrom this savoury master-piece to transform it into apizza. Still with us?We’ve subbed out a few
of the traditional ingredi-ents in lieu of more pizza-
friendly toppings, but theend result is undeniablydelicious. The briny, saltymuffaletta sauce goes sowell on pizza (and justabout anything for thatmatter), we’d forgive youif you wanted to put it oneverything.

Tomake the pizza doughIn a small bowl, combine
warmwater with instantyeast and leave to bloomfor a couple of minutes. Addthe yeast to the mixing bowl,along with flour, sugar andsalt. Using the dough hook,combine ingredients untila nice dough has formed,about 10 minutes. Greasea bowl with a couple dropsof oil, then place the dough
inside. Let the dough proof,covered, until it has doubledin size — about an hour.Preheat your oven to 500-F.
Meanwhile, prepare themuf-faletta sauce. In amedium-sized bowl, combine olives,roasted red peppers, bananapeppers, capers, shallot andredwine vinegar and extravirgin olive oil. Combinewell,then seasonwith salt and pep-per as needed. Set aside.
Once dough has proofed,remove it from the bowl andcut it into two. With yourhands, gently shape thedough to the size of yourdesired pan (we like to usean eight-inch round pizzapan). Spoon somemuffalettasauce on to the dough andspread it around evenly. Topwith ham, salami, capicola,black olives and bananapeppers.
Bake pizza in oven for8-10 minutes, just untilthe crust starts to becomegolden brown. Carefullyremove from oven, and placetorn pieces of fior di latteon top. Return to oven, andset to broil (500-F), just untilthe cheese melts. Serve andenjoy.Adrian Harris and Jeremy

o back a decadeto sometimein the fall andyou’ll spotKieran Lumb
racing around Trout Lakeor Vanier Park with thou-sands of other elementaryschool kids. For years,these seasonal meets werejust about the only runningthe future UBC Thunder-bird cross-country andtrack athlete ever did.At Lord Byng secondary,
Lumb kept running. InGrade 11, he won the citychampionship by a slim 47seconds on a 7.6-kilometrecourse by shaving threeminutes off his time fromthe previous season. InGrade 12, he defended his
city title and added a B.C.championship to his list ofaccomplishments.Despite this success,
running wasn’t his mainathletic pursuit. Lumb didcover great distances onwoodsy trails, but most ofthose tracks were snowy.“I skied since I was two,”he said. “Not long af-ter I started to walk, myparents had me on skis[which] they duct-taped tosnow boots.”Racing for the North
Shore’s Hollyburn Cross-Country Ski Club, he wona silver medal in the 15kilometre classic at thenational junior cham-pionships in March. Hetrained frequently with
his dad, a national juniorteam member, and laterdeveloped an immenselove for outdoor sports likeclimbing, hiking and sail-ing through the outdooreducation program, Trek.Running followed.He now logs at least 30
kilometres each week inPacific Spirit Park and,with friends, he overnightson long backcountry hikesand sets up a basecamp toreach more trails. “FromGaribaldi Lake last sum-mer, we did long runs andhikes for three days,” hesaid. “That probably ismy all-time favourite partof running. On that morerugged trail stuff, it letsyou see more things in a
day. We could run in oneday what it might take tohike in three days.”The coaches at UBC are
thrilled to have him.“We really think Ki-
eran is a diamond in therough,” said Thunder-birds head coach LaurierPrimeau. “He’s going tobe one of our top cross-country athletes.”Lumb isn’t part of a
formal track club, so hiscoaches will avoid over-useinjuries as they increasehis mileage mindfully. “Hehasn’t spent years trainingto the degree most trackathletes have. Having saidthat, his aerobic engine ishuge,” said Primeau.He will be groomed to
run middle-distance trackevents like the 800 and 1500metre races and perhaps goeven longer since the futureengineering student has animpressive ability to mar-shal his focus and disci-pline, said T-Bird assistantcoach Chris Johnson.“He’s quite rare,” said
the coach, noting Lumb’sfast leg speed despite thebiomechanical differencesbetween skiing and running.In the 800m, Lumb finishedninth in B.C. at the provin-cial high school trackmeetlast weekend in Nanaimo.Now the work begins,
said Johnson. “He will runmore than he has ever runbefore.”—Megan Stewart

Sunday’s easy, nothing special, good for routinechores. This eve (5:30 pm PDT) to Wed. dawnbrings relationships. Good communications Sundayeve, a slow but stable Monday, and a disruptive oradventurous Tues. until almost suppertime. Tues.night, all’s well that ends well – and it could endin love. Remember, June’s main accent lies oncommunications and short trips. If you’re single,travel and talk heighten relationship prospects.
A broadminded mood continues, as does amellow outlook. This is an easy, smooth week,Libra. It favours legal, travel, international,cultural, intellectual and scholastic concerns– and love. However, one subtle but importantinfluence will prevent success, even promotefailure in errands, addresses, figures,applications, travel, your domestic situation, andin dealings with co-workers or employees.
Continue to chase money, buy/sell, seekclients, ask for a pay raise, etc. This weekis easy and smooth, but it has a couple ofminor bumps, and one very significant, almostundetectable influence lasting all week. Thisone hints that deep deception (or self-illusion)might underlie sexual and financial urges,investments, friendship hopes, social invitationsand future plans.
The main accent lies on secrets, hiddeninformation, research, detective work,medical diagnoses, heightened intuitionand subconscious promptings. Your sexualand financial urges intensify, and can yieldsignificant rewards. But in all this, there is asubtle distinction, and getting on the wrong sideof it can lead you into confusion and loss.
Your cred, your style, your presence and energyremain at an annual high, Gemini. You could fallin love during this easy, smooth week. But sexualintimacy, and/or mating/marrying will tend to beundermined by 1) your wonder, suspicion, worry;or 2) by an authority figure, whether outside you(e.g., a parent, boss or judge) or inside you (youranticipation that this romance could hurt yourpublic or worldly standing).
What might be confusing or misleading to othersis old hat to you – so no warning is needed for thisweek (which generally is easy, smooth). However,because the main accent is on relationships, youcan find that your spouse, business partner orprospective mate (or good friend) is worried abouthis/her worldly standing and career as you areabout your home and family. If the two can combinesomehow, then the partnership thrives.
This is another mostly easy, smooth week, Cancer –which helps you do what’s best: rest, contemplate,follow spiritual and charitable urges, and stay outof the limelight. Usually this would also be a goodtime to examine your entire situation and makeplans – however, a wonky influence, lasting allweek and climaxing Fri./Sat., will bring potentialpitfalls, deceptions, and misty thinking – not a goodatmosphere in which to form plans.
This is your last week of work, Cap. June 20 bringsfresh horizons and new opportunities. But all thisweek, climaxing Fri./Sat., your obligations and/orunfinished work might seem huge – or you mightthink your duties are over, when they aren’t. Thegovernment is deceptive, and messages in generalneed an interpreter. That said, this week is quiteeasy. Sunday’s mellow, thoughtful, but contains littleresult. Be ambitious this night to Wed. dawn.
Wishes can come true, Leo, particularly duringa smooth, easy week like this one. You’relight-hearted, popular; you flirt and laugh;entertainment and friendly feelings buoy you.However, the entire week needs caution in twoslightly different areas: deep, heavy romance(infatuation) sex, and large finances. Don’tspy: you’ll get caught, or misinterpret whatyou see/hear.
One last week of romance, creative self-expression, and pleasure – if you’re still looking,Aquarius, better get busy! This week is smooth,and you’re in the winner’s chariot. However,a subtle warning exists throughout the week,culminating Fri./Sat. This influence creates aconfusing, negative connection between moneyand possessions on one hand, and your hopes/plans, or social desires on the other.
An easy, smooth week, Virgo, freeing you totake giant steps in your career or other practicalambitious areas. However, a subtle, hard-to-put-your-finger-on influence drifts through the wholeweek, culminating Fri./Sat. This influence advisesyou not to pursue (and certainly not to make anycommitments in) business partnerships, contracts/negotiations, romance, marriage, relocation, publicappearances, teaching/raising children, creative orspeculative projects, and real estate.
This is your last week of being “close to home,”Pisces. Next week, you’ll burst into a powerfulromantic phase – and if you’re single, thatphase can also spell marriage, prosperous,cheerful marriage. If you’re married, the next 3months bring great business, relocation, fame or“partner” openings. This makes your last week ofrelative rest and recuperation important, for themore you rest now, the more energy you’ll haveto pursue love and business.

RookieAlexanderRossiwins Indy500If you followed the race
over the weekend, youalready know the resultsof the Indy 500. To thosenot used to the strategiesof pit stops and plottingfuel-economy, the resultmust have seemed utterlysurprising: in a come-from-behind victory, rookie racerAlexander Rossi squeakedout a win against someof the world’s best Indycar drivers. He ran his carcompletely out of gas inthe process, coasting acrossthe line without power.Coasting home in an
empty car to avoid a fillup? Typical millennial, amI right?Anyway, Rossi’s surpris-
ing win galvanized thepress, but the day wasn’tall soaked in glory. JamesHinchcliffe ran a tightlycontested battle for thepodium, leading the racefor more than two dozenlaps, but running low onfuel and tire grip causedhim to slip to a seventh-place finish. Such is theluck and heartbreak ofendurance racing.Still, with the 100th
running of the race nowover, and nerves stilljangling from the ups anddowns, perhaps next yearwill be even better.
RCMPcameras catchtextingdriversThe police have long
used spotter scopes towatch for bad driving be-haviour, but now they’vegot a new tool in the battleagainst texting drivers.Their latest device, distrib-uted to several locationsthroughout the LowerMainland, is a sort oflong-range camera, suchas a wildlife photographermight use. The idea is tocapture drivers on film,such that any protests fallflat against the evidence.Be warned, this new
device doesn’t work tocatch you texting whileyou’re on the move, butwhen you’re stopped at astop sign or red light. Thisis the most tempting timefor many drivers to quicklysneak a look at a text, orscan for an email, particu-larly during the worst ofrush hour, when trafficisn’t moving anyway.So leave the phone
alone if you’re in thedriver’s seat, even whenit seems safe-ish to take apeek at why your phone
buzzed. The easiest thingto do is just throw it inyour glovebox so youaren’t tempted.
Tokyopolice get 370Zpatrol carsNissan and the Tokyo
Metropolitan Police De-partment have had a longrelationship, stretching allthe way back to when theformer supplied the latterwith Z432 patrol cars — aDatsun 240Z with thestraight-six out of a GT-R.Think your souped upSunny can outrun theJapanese cops? Guessagain, 1970s miscreant.Traffic in Tokyo is
mostly very well-behaved,but for those speedmerchants who might betempted to sneak out fora couple of 1990s-stylehighway runs, the copshave a trio of 370Z policecars, fitted out in thaticonic black-and-whiteJapanese cop-car liveryand V-shaped light bar.It’s likely that the Zs will
be used more for promo-tional activities, ratherthan actual pursuits. Likemost police forces, theTokyo police know thatspeeders can’t outrun a ra-dio signal, nor a helicopterif it comes to that. Still asa link to the past, there’ssomething neat about a Zall dressed up in its policeuniform.
Apple consideringmakingEVchargersAccording to Reuters,
mega-corporation Appleis looking at workingtogether with several com-panies that make chargersfor electrical vehicles. Thespeculation is that thetech giant is looking for away to charge their ownautonomous car, whichmay or may not exist. It’sall very secretive.However, what a hor-
rible vision of the future.Picture this: you’re beingpiloted through downtowntraffic when suddenly yourcar makes the bing-bongnoise that it’s about to runout of batteries.“What the heck?” you
say, “I was just on 45 percent five minutes ago.”Still, not to worry, you’ll
just direct the car into thelocal Apple fuelling station,right? A guy with giantholes in his ears wearing apolo neck that says “Ge-nius” shakes his head sadly.“Sorry, dude,” he says,
“That’s an iCar4S you’vegot. We just upgraded allour connectors to iCar5.You’ll need to update your
software and buy a newconnector.”$150 later, you’ve got a
new plug, but the softwareupdate has deleted allyour music and replaced itwith a new album releasedby U2, who are all nowjust heads floating in jars.What a kick in the dongle.
TheFast and theFurious turns 15Simultaneously the
worst car movie ever, yetalso super-quotable andlots of good fun, The Fastand the Furious has a lot
to answer for. It spawneda whole new generationof car enthusiasts and amulti-million dollar fran-chise, but it also glamor-ized street racing and baddialogue. I know the for-mer is far worse, but man,some of that dialogue. ...To celebrate 15 years of
“Danger To Manifold,”the film will be brieflyre-released in theatreson June 22. Check yourlocal listings, and takeyour primered Civic witha bodykit and stock steelwheels on down.
