AIR SAFETY
Jazz A
Aviation raises intensity of pilot training
Theatrical smoke to be pumped into cockpits, making simulated worst-case ‘black swan events’ more stressful
LARRY PYNN
VANCOUVER SUN
Airplane accidents such as
the jet that ditched in New
York’s Hudson River in 2009
are prompting airlines to train
pilots for extreme and unexpected worst-case scenarios —
termed “black swan events” by
the industry.
Jazz Aviation will introduce
“theatrical smoke” into cockpits for the first time this year
during simulation training as
a way to push both the technical and communication skills of
pilots, said Capt. David Elder,
an airline instructor.
In an interview this week,
Elder said that it is one matter
to go through a standard simulation for, say, a loss of hydraulic pressure or electric failure,
and quite another to introduce
a complicated series of events
that require both pilots to work
together under stressful, unpredictable conditions.
In such cases, pilots’ communication skills are just as
important as technical skills.
“It’s usually the human behaviour that fails,” Elder said at an
Aviation Leadership Forum in
Vancouver.
“In a stressful situation, the
first thing to go is your hearing and then your communication skills. It’s not uncommon
to hear pilots yelling back and
forth at each other.”
In one Jazz Aviation scenario
posed to pilots during annual
tests, a plane’s tire blows on
takeoff in winter conditions,
the landing gear collapses,
and an engine disintegrates
and catches fire, requiring an
evacuation.
MARIO TAMA/GETTY IMAGES FILES
Rescue workers assist a New York City Fire Department boat pulling a US Airways plane floating in the water after crashing into the Hudson River on Jan. 15, 2008.
This year, theatrical smoke
that obscures visibility but does
not burn lungs is being introduced to the cockpit to simulate a fire, requiring pilots to
don oxygen masks and goggles
while solving the problem.
In the 2009 incident, a US
Airways A320 Airbus flew into
a flock of geese shortly before
losing both engines and splashing down into the Hudson
River — a situation that no simulation training had accounted
for. All 155 passengers and crew
survived.
In 1989, a United Airlines
DC-10 sustained a catastrophic
engine failure, leading to the
loss of the three redundant
hydraulic systems that powered
the airplane’s flight controls.
The plane crashed during an
attempted landing at Sioux
City, Iowa.
One flight attendant and 110
passengers died.
“It was a totally unexpected
never-could-happen scenario,”
Elder said of such black-swan
events. (The term comes from
the idea of one black swan amid
a flock of white ones.)
“We should be training our
pilots to think through these
things. It’s not just technical,
it’s how you think outside the
box.”
Elder noted that about 85 per
cent of air crashes blamed on
pilot error could also be attributed to other management factors within an airline, which
emphasizes the importance of
establishing a culture of safety
that encourages pilots and
other workers to report accidents and problems to the benefit of all without fear of being
suspended or fired.
“Not everybody buys into it,”
he said. “People are still suspicious of the idea they can
report a mistake and won’t be
disciplined.”
Jazz Aviation has 127 aircraft,
1,400 pilots, and 900 flight
attendants.

Manitoba first jurisdiction in North America to take that step against biker gang
KIM BOLAN
VANCOUVER SUN
The B.C. government has no plans to
follow Manitoba and declare the Hells
Angels a criminal organization in this
province.
In a statement issued in Victoria Friday, the Justice Ministry said: “B.C.
does not have plans at this time to
implement the legislation or process
that Manitoba has adopted, but will be
watching to see what impact it has on
organized crime.”
Manitoba Justice Minister Andrew
Swan announced Friday that his province would become the first jurisdiction in North America to list the biker
gang as a criminal organization, eliminating the need to repeatedly prove
the designation when enforcing provincial laws.
The move won’t alter criminal prosecutions, but will aid civil forfeiture applications involving the Hells
Angels in Manitoba.
“This is a milestone for Canada and
a clear signal that Manitoba will continue to develop and use every tool
available to fight criminal organizations and the threat they pose to Manitobans,” Swan said in a news release.
“It is now law in Manitoba: The Hells
Angels Motorcycle Club is a criminal
organization.”
The B.C. Angels have not been
declared a criminal organization by
the courts, despite prosecutors making that argument in three separate
trials stemming from the E-Pandora
undercover investigation that led to
other convictions against the bikers.
But another ongoing prosecution alleges that two full-patch Kelowna members conspired to to
traffic cocaine and commit crimes
for the Hells Angels as a criminal
organization.
Some B.C. Hells Angels leaders have
filed a lawsuit against the B.C. government challenging the constitutionality of the province’s civil forfeiture
laws, which are being used to pressure
the biker gang to give up three clubhouses in East Vancouver, Kelowna

and Nanaimo as suspected proceeds
of crime.
The B.C. government responded to
the lawsuit last November, saying the
Hells Angels have misrepresented the
scope and function of the Civil Forfeiture Act in their court documents.
And the government said the lawsuit
lacked details about how their rights
had been violated.
“The onus is on the defendants to
prove their Charter rights have been
infringed or denied. There are no facts
in the counterclaim to support such a
claim,” the response said.
Sgt. Lindsey Houghton of the
Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C. said Friday that
he couldn’t really comment on the
development in Manitoba.
But he reiterated that police in this
province know what the biker gang is
all about.
“Here in B.C., the Hells Angels have
an overwhelming involvement in
many aspects of organized criminality both provincially, nationally, and
internationally,” he said.

Unending war looms over troubled country
During the mission, the Canadian government supported
poppy eradication efforts but
military commanders were
not keen to see their soldiers
directly involved. They were
concerned that using Canadian
soldiers to destroy crops would
turn Afghans — many of whom
earn their living from poppy
cultivation — against Canada’s
development efforts in Kandahar and push farmers into the
ranks of the Taliban.
Canada instead focused on
efforts to find alternative crops
for the farmers to grow but that
met with limited success.
northern part of the country.
That same year, NATO intelligence estimated there were
between 5,000 and 20,000
Taliban fighters.
In November 2013, a UN
report stated that as many as
12,000 Taliban were killed, captured or wounded in Afghanistan in that year. But no matter how many of its ranks have
been killed or wounded over
the last 12 years, the Taliban
continues to fight on, using
tactics ranging from suicide
bombings to assassinations of
government officials.
Is al-Qaida still a threat?
What will happen to
women’s rights?
U.S. and coalition soldiers,
along with their Afghan allies,
pushed al-Qaida operatives out
of Afghanistan in late 2001 and
early 2002. Terrorist training
bases were overrun by coalition
troops and some leaders were
captured, although most fled to
Pakistan.
The continued presence of
international troops has prevented the terrorist group from
re-establishing training camps
in Afghanistan.
The U.S. has also continued
its pressure on the group’s leadership with drone attacks and
commando raids like the one
that killed Osama bin Laden in
2011.
In the aftermath of that killing, then U.S. defence secretary
Leon Panetta boasted the U.S.
was “within reach of strategically defeating” al-Qaida.
Two years later, U.S. President Barack Obama noted that
the core group that formed alQaida was on the verge of being
defeated. “Operatives spend
more time thinking about their
own safety than plotting against
us,” he said.
In addition, a Pentagon
report in November 2013 estimated that there were only a
few dozen al-Qaida members
left near the Afghan-Pakistan
border.
But in the U.S. capital today,
The overthrow of the Taliban changed the lives of many
Afghan women. Today women
are members of parliament,
bureaucrats, police officers,
judges, teachers, doctors, lawyers and journalists.
“There has been a significant change (in the) number of
women active” in society, said
Nurjehan Mawani, the diplomatic representative of the Aga
Khan Development Network in
Afghanistan. “This is particularly
true of women in urban areas.”
But Afghanistan remains
a conservative, patriarchal
Islamic society. Millions of
women, following the wishes
of their families, still wear the
burka. And even with the Taliban no longer in power, women
struggle to assert their rights.
Strong conservative Islamic
politicians are in parliament and
religious leaders are opposed to
a greater role for women, Samina Ahmed, South Asia project
director for the International
Crisis Group, has noted.
Samira Amiri, an Afghan
woman who works for the
French charity ACTED, said the
lives of women have improved in
cities like Kabul but in the rural
areas not much has changed.
“The families are very poor so
they need women (to work), but
the men have very tight minds,”
and do not allow that, she said.

intelligence specialists talk
about the terror network
“metastasizing.” It has grown
in other parts of the world,
with affiliates active on battlefields in the Middle East, such
as in Iraq. And while al-Qaida
no longer uses Afghanistan as
a training base, it and affiliated
groups have moved to Pakistan, Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Syria
and Mali.
During testimony to a U.S.
Senate committee earlier this
month, national intelligence
director James Clapper told
lawmakers al-Qaida’s ability
to attack the U.S. has degraded
and its standing in the global
Islamic extremist community
has suffered. But he added:
“It probably hopes for a resurgence following the drawdown
of U.S. troops in Afghanistan
in 2014.”
Will there be a peace
deal with the Taliban?
In 2006, Peter MacKay, then
the minister of foreign affairs,
called Jack Layton “Taliban
Jack” after the NDP leader
“
Will the Taliban keep
fighting?
There has been a significant change (in the)
number of women active (in society).
NURJEHAN MAWANI
DIPLOMATIC REPRESENTATIVE, AGA KHAN DEVELOPMENT NETWORK
IN AFGHANISTAN
suggested peace negotiations
with the Taliban were needed
to end the war.
MacKay’s personal attack on
Layton was successful from
the Conservative government’s
point of view as the derogatory
label stuck with him until his
death. But critics have pointed
out that it was more of a reflection of MacKay’s lack of understanding of Afghanistan, as
negotiations had been going on
for years with lower level Taliban commanders and individual groups had laid down their
arms.
In addition, Afghan President
Hamid Karzai and the U.S.
government have supported
negotiations with the group’s
leadership for a larger peace
settlement.
Last summer, U.S. media
reported the American government was involved in talks with
the Taliban in Doha.
Earlier this month, Karzai’s
office confirmed Afghan officials have had secret discussions with the group, though
the Taliban denied any discussions were underway.
Since MacKay’s “Taliban
Jack” comment, the Canadian
government has indicated it
would support reconciliation
provided insurgents put down
their weapons first.
It is unclear whether the Taliban is serious about a peace
agreement or are stringing the
Karzai government along. The
group has said it would not lay
down its arms until all foreign
soldiers leave Afghanistan.
Yes. NATO military officers in
Kabul say that Afghan security
forces successfully countered
efforts last summer by the Taliban to wrest control of more territory and that the insurgency is
tired and desperate. But they
have claimed that before.
In 2004, U.S. Gen. James
Jones, NATO’s top military
commander at the time, said the
insurgents “were running out of
energy” and their numbers had
dwindled to below 1,000.
In 2006, then-chief of the
defence staff Gen. Rick Hillier
said the Taliban were on their
“back foot” and Canadian military efforts in Kandahar were
preventing them from expanding elsewhere in the country.
In 2007 the United Nations
put the core size of the Taliban
at around 3,000 but also noted
they had access to 7,000 more
fighters on an occasional basis.
In early 2008 the insurgents expanded operations
and started to re-establish
themselves in provinces in the

CRUDE OIL TRANSPORT
U.S. railways agree to voluntary safety steps
Canadian, Mexican carriers are expected to follow suit, says industry association president
MATTHEW BROWN
AND JOAN LOWY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
“
We expect for
this to be a
document that is fully
adhered to, and are
prepared to inspect
accordingly and call
out the industry as
necessary.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BILLINGS, Mont. — Railways
that haul volatile crude shipments have reached an agreement with U.S. transportation
officials to adopt wide-ranging,
voluntary safety measures after
a string of explosive and deadly
accidents.
The agreement between the
U.S. Transportation Department and the Association
of American Railways was
obtained Friday by The Associated Press.
It calls for railways to slow
down oil trains from 80 kilometres per hour to 64 km/h
through major cities, inspect
tracks more frequently and bolster emergency response planning along routes that carry
trains hauling up to 11.36 million litres of crude each.
The new safety steps would
begin going into effect in late
March and be fully in place by
July 1.
After a boom in domestic drilling in recent years, oil
trains now travel thousands
of kilometres from oil producing areas, including the Northern Plains, to coastal refineries
and shipping terminals along
the Mississippi River and other
major waterways.
The agreement does not
resolve concerns over another
fuel, ethanol, that has also seen
a spate of accidents as production has increased.
It also leaves out tens of thousands of flawed tank cars that
carry crude and ethanol and
are known to split open during
derailments.
Railways and federal officials
said they would address that
issue separately.
By taking voluntary steps, railways will be able to act far more

Railways that haul volatile crude shipments have reached an agreement with U.S. transportation officials to adopt wide-ranging
voluntary safety measures after a string of explosive and deadly accidents. Here, a unit train hauls oil through Montana.
quickly than if they waited for
new safety rules to be drafted
and approved by the government, said Robert Chipkevich,
former director of rail and hazardous materials accident investigations at the National Transportation Safety Board.
But he added that regulators will have little leverage to enforce the industry’s
commitments.
“It’s a positive step,” Chipkevich said.
“But certainly there’s nothing to say they would have to
continue following those practices. The only way you can
enforce something like that
would be for regulators to publish regulations and do periodic
oversight.”
U.S. officials said they would
continue to pursue longer-term
measures to further improve
safety. They also said they
would use regular inspections
to check for compliance with
the agreement.
With no formal rules, inspectors would be unable to issue
fines or take other punitive
measures for failing to live up
to the agreement.
“We expect for this to be a
document that is fully adhered
to, and are prepared to inspect
accordingly and call out the
industry as necessary,” Federal
Railroad Administrator Joseph
Szabo said in an interview.
The Association of American Railways represents all of
the major railways in the U.S.,
Canada and Mexico, and president Edward Hamberger said
he expects all of them to sign
on to the agreement.
At least 10 times since 2008,
freight trains hauling oil across
North America have derailed
and spilled significant quantities of crude, with most of the
accidents touching off fires or
catastrophic explosions.

Megantic, Que. Others have
occurred in rural areas of North
Dakota, Alabama, Oklahoma
and New Brunswick.
The derailments released
almost 11.36 million litres of
oil, nearly twice as much as the
largest pipeline spill in the U.S.
since at least 1986.
“Safety is our top priority,
and we have a shared responsibility to make sure crude oil is
transported safely from origin
to destination,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx
said in a statement.
Under the agreement, railways also would have to weigh
the risks along particular
routes and consider alternatives, although experts say it’s
inevitable the trains would
continue going through population centres to reach certain
destinations.
The railways agreed to provide $5 million US to develop
a training curriculum for emergency responders tailored to
crude accidents.
Since 2008, the number of
tanker cars hauling oil has
increased 40-fold, and federal records show that’s been
accompanied by a dramatic
spike in accidental crude
releases from tank cars.
While severity of recent oil
accidents and their potential
for even more serious consequences has raised safety
concerns, transportation officials point out that over the
past decade, derailments have
decreased by 47 per cent.
Hamburger of the railroad
association said the commitments unveiled Friday underscore the high priority the
industry has put on safely
transporting crude.
He suggested that compliance
would not be a problem.
“No. 1 it’s better for safety and
number two their reputation is
on the line,” he said.

BREAKINGNEWS: VANCOUVERSUN.COM
November 30, 1914−February 12, 2014
(nee Buxton)
Evelyn passed away at 8 am February 12, 2014
with her daughter Benita at her side.
She had struggled with a short, but difficult illness
and despite successful surgery, she quietly left us
for a well deserved rest at age 99. Evelyn was
predeceased by her husband Reginald, and four
siblings Earl, Carl, Irene and Raymond. Survived
by her loving children Derek(Janet) John (Cathy)
and Benita adoring grandchildren Rachel,
Caroline, Jason, Kristi, Julia, Stacey, Brooke,
Hailey and great grandchildren Christopher,
Matthew, Luca, Merryn, and Cooper. Mom was
born in Edmonton to Gertrude and William Buxton
but spent early years in the small town of
Lougheed. She was an exceptionally clever
student and won medals/trophies in oratory
contests. She obtained her BA at the University of
Alberta after one year at the University of Toronto
on scholarship studying journalism. While
working as a journalist at the Calgary Herald she
met her devoted husband Reginald, a flight
training officer stationed in Canada with the RAF.
They married in Calgary August 15, 1942 and soon
after transferred to Patricia Bay near Victoria
where son Derek was born. After the war, the
family with additions, John and Benita eventually
settled and spent all their years together in
beautiful West Vancouver. Mom’s pleasures were
raising her family, sewing her daughter’s skating
dresses, playing bridge, going to Lena Horne
concerts at the Cave Supper Club, spending
summers at Roberts Creek with the Davis family
and lovingly tending her large garden and rockery
on Parkside Road. She was granted an honorary
membership at the Capilano Golf Club upon Reg’s
death (after 63 years of marriage) so she could
continue entertaining her family and friends in the
lovely Clubhouse which she did right until the end.
Her much later years included trips and cruises
with family members which shall be cherished
forever. Mom’s final year of life was spent happily
in Amica senior residence where she met many
friends and was well looked after by the excellent
staff .Our Mom and Granny was with us so long no
one really thought she could ever go. But go she
suddenly did and her passing has left a void in the
lives of all her extensive loving family. Memorial
service to be held at St Christopher’s Anglican
Church, 1068 Inglewood Ave, West Vancouver

CUMBERS, Ruth Shirley
COATES, Edward William
June 23, 1948 – February 17, 2014
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that the Coates family shares news of the untimely
passing of Edward W. Coates: loving husband, father and grandfather, and a loyal friend who
gave his unwavering support to so many in the automotive industry in B.C. and across Canada.
Ed passed away peacefully with his family at his side on February 17, 2014 at Ridge Meadows
Hospital at the age of 65, after a short, courageous battle with cancer. Ed was born on June 23,
1948, in New Westminster, BC, the second son of five children born to Shirley and Edward
(Harry) Coates. He is survived by his mother, Shirley; his loving wife of 42 years, Marlyn; their
four children: Samantha, Sarah (Garett), Ian (Erin), and Candace (Brian); their seven precious
grandchildren: Natalie, Brooklyn, Dylan, Sydney, Joshua, Delaney and Harper; brother Dave
(Carol), sister Leslie (John), sister Evelyn (Don), brother Doug (Lornie) and many nieces,
nephews, great nieces and great nephews. His many friends and colleagues will fondly
remember Ed as a brilliant and innovative business leader. Raised in Fort Langley, BC, Ed was a
born entrepreneur. His brother Dave gave him a start in the automotive parts business, and from
there he went on to realize his life’s ambition – to build his own automotive parts business. In
August 1974, he and his business partner opened the doors of a modest 900 square foot auto
parts store in Haney, BC, Lordco Auto Parts. From these humble beginnings, Ed would guide the
company through difficult economic times, and over the next 40 years, firmly establish his iconic
status in the automotive industry. Today, Lordco is the largest privately held automotive parts
distributor in Canada, with 1,750 employees and 97 locations throughout BC. Ed was a man
whose work ethic and fortitude were unsurpassed, his passion unbridled and his loyalty to family
and friends boundless. Ed Coates was truly a man who took life by the horns taking advantage of
every opportunity life had to offer. Although Ed has left us far too soon, we are comforted with
the knowledge that he has touched innumerable lives along his journey, and he will live in our
memories forever. A public celebration of Ed’s life will be held on March 8, 2014 at 2 p.m. at the
Pan Pacific Vancouver Hotel (999 Canada Place, Vancouver). All are welcome. The Coates family
will establish a legacy fund in Ed’s memory in the months ahead, the details of which will be
announced in due course.

September 15, 1946 – February 16, 2014
The Clark Family, Nielsen Family, and Lopez

Citizen. He was very proud of his years with the
Royal Bank which saw him travel throughout B.C.,
the Toronto-Metro area, London, and New York
mostly serving in Human Resources. He was
successful and fortunate to retire at age 55 which
gave him quality time to golf, travel, spend time
with his daughters, grandchildren, and all
members of his extended family! Richard is

(William Clark), Grandson Matthew Fagan,
Brother (Phillip Clark), Brother (Bill Clark), and

COULTER, Donna Mae Estella
July 9, 1932 - February 16, 2014
Donna Mae had not been feeling well for a few
weeks and passed away suddenly in her home.
She was predeceased by her loving husband Don
and is survived by her sons Phillip (Donelle),
Steven (Lisa) Robert, sister-in-law Di Walley and
niece Moira Walley-Beckett. She had 7
grandchildren (Lauren, Jordan, Spencer, Angie,
Richard, Rhys, Marshall) who she adored. She had
an infectious smile, loved to laugh and was a
knowledgeable conversationalist. She was our
family matriarch and enjoyed hosting parties and
cooking for those that she loved. Donna Mae had a
positive spirit and was always up to date with
current events. She thrived on her regular social
outings with her long term "Yorkie" friends and
was fortunate to have had many close neighbours
and other friends who will miss her witty sense of
humour. She took great pride in maintaining her
home and garden and, until recently, was in
amazing physical and mental health. Donna Mae
was an adventurous traveller and she enjoyed
planning her trips almost as much as the trip itself.
She was passionate about learning new things,
regularly attended lectures at UBC and was a
recent member of Probus. She will be missed by
her fitness friends at the Community Centre. A
celebration of life will be held and in lieu of flowers,
donations can be made to the Vancouver Hospice
Society.

September 5, 1917 – February 3, 2014
After 96 and a half years chock-full of thinking,
working, doing, helping, Woody died at his home at
Cavell Gardens peacefully and with dignity,
surrounded by family, full of love and gratitude
until the end. His warm heart, passionate mind,
keen interest and delight in the world amazed all
who knew him. He taught us that you never grow
old if you keep living and evolving. The centrality of
social and moral questions stayed with him all his
life. From career officer to peace activist, student
of theology to atheist (at 80!), enthusiastic brewer
of blackberry wine to non-drinker, he allowed
himself to move into new ways of being. He made
new friends in his later years, participated in
medical research until 2 months before his death,
spoke of the need to stop the pipeline 3 days
before he died. Maybe this emotional and
intellectual engagement was the reason for his
marvellous lack of wrinkles! The various scenes of
his life are quite remarkable; father murdered
when he was 4, a stern Christian upbringing, years
of young soldiering in Europe and Asia, young
parenthood and the nomadic life of the career
army officer, survivor of atomic bomb-testing, a
challenging second career at UBC, builder of a
home by the sea on Galiano Island, co-creator of
the first Official Community Plan there, writer of a
2 volume family history, founding member of
Veterans Against Nuclear Arms. And there was
much more, of course. He was a master of
stitching the rich experiences of his past into
current struggles for a better world, and here his
soldierly discipline served him well. Tirelessly, he
exposed the horrors of the killing fields to young
students all over Vancouver on Remembrance
Day, spoke at City Hall against rampant
development in his cherished neighbourhood,
submitted presentations against the pipeline and
tanker development, commended the courage of
young activists during Occupy Vancouver. He
valued differing beliefs and welcomed dialogue
but stayed firm in his stance against greed and
war. Even after his beloved wife of 70 years, Ellen,
passed away three years ago, rather than
becoming despondent, he intensified his
engagement. In the last five years, he applied his
prodigious communication skills to accessing
benefits and honours for his co-residents at
Cavell. Most of all, Woody was a wonderful elder,
grand-father and surrogate grandfather. He
nurtured young ones with his wisdom and
gentleness, listened to their troubles, joys and
dreams and delighted in their successes as they
reached adulthood. He believed in their capacity
to engage in building a more just society and he
gave heart to all who met him. Respectful,
courteous, generous, a unifier, that was our
Woody. Our family extends a special thank you to
the entire staff at Cavell Gardens, the Ravensong
Palliative Care Team, the many caregivers and
nurses who tended to our dad, and to Dr. Sue
Turgeon of Mid-Main Clinic, for their unerring
compassion and support. His four children; Neil,
Gary, John Douglas and Barbara, as well as 12
grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren,
numerous nieces, nephews, in-laws and friends,
young and old, already miss his presence
immensely. But the true message of his life
already reaches into our collective future:“ Can't
add my name into the fight when I'm gone, so I
guess I'll have to do it while I'm here.” (Phil Ochs)
A celebration of his life will be held on March 9th at
2 PM at Cavell Gardens, 2835 Sophia St. In lieu of
flowers, consider a donation in Woody's name to
Forest Ethics to aid their important work for
environmental justice.

Arts degree. She will be remembered for her
elegance, generosity, great spirit and quiet
determination. A memorial service to be followed

JUNKER, Barbara Jean
Anita “Pejan” Elisabeth Erika
Fagerlund (née
(ne Tör
To n)
Born in Abo (Turku), Finland on July 29, 1923; died
at Lions Gate Hospital on January 30, 2014 after
surgery due to a fall. Married to Ulf “Uffe” Henrik
Mathias Fagerlund on July 29, 1950 in Abo, Finland
(deceased, September 17, 2013). Mom to 5
children, Mormor/Farmor to 12 grandchildren and
1 great-grandchild, she is survived by: Katherine
(Paul Warwick) and their daughter Rachel; Anne
Davis (Paul) and their children Erika MacKay
(Kevin), Karl and Ava (fiance
(fiancé Craig O'Connell);
Marie Lucas (Dave) and their children Jamie
(Stuart Jergens) plus their son Sean, and Caraline;
John (Yvonne), his children Allecia and Brooke,
and their daughter Melody; and Paul (Stella) and
their children Aaron, Stephen and Tor. Mom and
Dad met while both were studying chemistry at
Abo Academy in Finland, and after Mom spent
some time in France studying art, they married
and decided to look for opportunity and adventure
in Canada. They arrived in Vancouver, B.C. in
November 1951, joined shortly afterwards by two
couples they’d met at university. With Mom’s
interest in architecture and their eager
resourcefulness, they soon purchased an
undeveloped lot in North Vancouver and
proceeded to design and build the home that
remained our family’s hub until the end of their
lives. In the mid-1960s, remembering summer
homes from their youth, they found property on
the Sunshine Coast and created Cliffhanger,
providing a ‘favourite place in the world’ for their
extended family. Mom was also an accomplished
artist, a past member of the West Vancouver
Sketch Club, and instilled in her family a love of art,
crafts and music. With failing eyesight, she turned
her creative energy to translating Swedish and
Finnish prose for the Runeberg Society. Though
medical complications in Mom’s later years left
her with physical challenges, her will to continue
experiencing life to its fullest remained strong and
she was a vital force in our midst to the end.
Always positive and welcoming, she will be
remembered longingly by family and friends both
here and abroad. The family laid her ashes beside
Dad’s in North Vancouver Cemetery on February
16th 2014. We invite those who wish to remember
Mom to join us at Capilano United Church Hall at
2260 Philip Ave, North Vancouver, on March 30th

GELFAND, Saul Bernard
Saul passed away peacefully on February 11, 2014,
at age 99, after a life well lived. He was born in
West Kildonan, Manitoba and grew up surrounded
by the love of his six siblings and many cousins. He
attended the University of Alberta dental school
and set up a practice in Drumheller. But the balmy
west coast weather lured him away, and he moved
to Vancouver and practiced downtown well into
his seventies. Soon after his move, he met and
married the love of his life, Ethel Waterman.
Together they raised their children Trevor and
Michelle, and lived an active and rich life. Saul was
always true to his principles of integrity, loyalty
and committment. He was an excellent bridge
player and golfer, and continued to play both until
a few months ago. He was grateful for the
blessings of his life, and will be remembered for his
vitality, kindness and his warm and outgoing
nature. Predeceased by his grandson Merrick, he
will be greatly missed by his wife Ethel, daughter
Michelle (Ian), son Trevor, granddaughter Kayla,
and by all of his family and friends. Donations in his
memory may be made to the Beth Israel Building
Fund, or a charity of your choice.

MACDONALD, Rita Therese
Passed away peacefully on December 27, 2013,
age 68. Born to Gerta (Reimer) and Cliff
Macdonald, she grew up in the love of a large
extended family. From them, she inherited a great
joie de vivre and sense of humour that helped to
sustain her through the many years of chronic
pain she was to endure later in life. A graduate of
Burnaby South High School, Rita went on to U.B.C.
to earn a Masters degree in Social Work. She
began her career as a play therapist at the Maples
in Burnaby and subsequently worked for the
Ministry of Human Resources and the Greater
Vancouver Mental Health Service. Of particular
note was her appointment in 1973 to serve as a
Commissioner on the Royal Commission on
Family and Children's Law headed by Thomas
Berger. The work of this Commission resulted in
major social policy reforms in B.C. including
significant changes in our Matrimonial Property
Law. Rita's passions included a love of the Arts,
the C.B.C. and issues of social justice. She
expressed her own personal creativity through her
poetry. A long time resident of Kerrisdale, Rita
deeply appreciated the kindness and friendliness
of the local merchants and her neighbours there.
She was also very grateful to the health
professionals (Dr. Robert Bluman and Dr. May
Ong, VGH physio) who supported her
through years of very difficult times. Peace at last.

Our beloved officer and gentleman left us in the
early hours of Saturday, February 15th in his
100th year. Zoltan was born in Kiskún
Kisku halas,
Hungary to Elizabeth Rohoska and Dr. Józ
Jo sef
Keresztes. Unfortunately Zoltan lost his father
at an early age as a casualty of the First World
War. At age 18 Zoltan entered the Royal
Hungarian Ludovica Military Academy where
he completed his officers' training and
received his first commission in 1936. He
adapted well to the military and eventually
achieved the rank of Lieutnant-Colonel. His
military career ended when he was captured
and spent nearly three years (932 days) in a
POW camp in Siberia until his release in 1947.
Upon his return to Budapest, he met and
married his beloved Ilona who predeceased
him in 2011. Following the outbreak of the
Hungarian revolution in 1956, Zoltan and Ilona
seized the opportunity to escape (with babies
and grandmothers in tow) and arrived in
Canada in 1957 where they set about the
business of re-establishing themselves and
raising their family in Vancouver. Zoltan and
Ilona travelled extensively during their
retirement and cruising with Holland America
Lines was by far their favorite means of
transport. They visited many ports in North and
South America, Europe and Asia and had many
exciting adventures to recount to their friends
and growing family. Zoltan is survived by his
son Zoltan (Jane), daughter Fruzsina (Julius)
and five grandchildren: Kristopher, Reka (Tim),
Mark, Kevin and Cameron. Celebration of
remembrance will be held at Calvin Hungarian
Presbyterian Church on Saturday, February 22
at 12:00 noon.

his health. Bill was born in Burnaby, attended
Burnaby South High School, and spent over 35

Dianna. Married 54 years, he leaves behind the
love of his life Gerry; Sons Wayne (Andrea) and
Grant (Lisa); Grandchildren Colton, Tyler, Loghan

When he wasn’t gardening, volunteering and
helping youth in amateur athletics was Bill's
passion. He was recognized for this in 2010 when
he was inducted into the Burnaby Sports Hall of
Fame in the Builder category. For over 5 decades
he dedicated countless hours to amateur
athletics, both in the community and at the high
school level in soccer, basketball, and track and
field. Encouraging young people to reach their
potential, both as athletes and as citizens, was his
labour of love. He touched the hearts of so many

VINCENT, Douglas Carleton
Doug passed away February 8, 2014 at the age of
89. He was predeceased by his wife Eleanor and
brother Derek. Gramps will be lovingly
remembered by his son Doug, daughter-in-law
Barb and granddaughters Lauren and Dana. Doug
was born and raised in Vancouver and attended
Lord Byng High School and played on the New
Zealand Shield winning rugby team in 1942. He
liked to work on cars and engines and joined the
Air Force as a mechanic. He trained in Winnipeg
where he met Eleanor at a roller rink. They married
in Vancouver after the war and Doug started his 37
year career with the City of Vancouver. He grew up
boating and was a long standing member of
C921892
Burrard Yacht Club. Summers were spent cruising
the coast in the Nip N’ Tuck II and he was always
eager to get friends and relatives (especially our
Prairie kin) out for a cruise. Lauren and Dana will
always remember the nights “Gramps” looked
after them and told stories of 6 toed pirates in the
dark. He had a quick wit and could fix just about
anything mechanical. This made him a popular
guy at any marina as he was always willing to help
out a fellow boater in need and seemed to have the
right tool or spare part hidden somewhere in his
collection of stuff. Doug had a knack for making
quick friends and drawing out everyone’s life
story. The family wishes to thank Annabel for her
wonderful companionship since Eleanor’s passing
and the staff at Lynn Valley Care Centre for the
support they provided Gramps for the last two

our beloved Ron due to complications from

Interior Design at the University of Manitoba. He
began his professional career in Edmonton before
moving to Vancouver where he spent most of his
C922661
working life. He believed strongly in his profession
and its advancement, devoting much of his
energy to it at the local, provincial and national
levels. Ron formed firm, long−standing
friendships with many. He will be especially
missed by his close companions, Mike Henley and
Gary Boucher. After retiring he volunteered in
many causes, kept himself busy auditing classes
at UBC, and indulged his inner actor by working as
a standardized patient assisting health−care
professionals to practice their skills. He enjoyed
gardening and travelled widely. He requested no
service, was cremated, and will be interred in
Camrose Alberta where his mother, father, sister
and brother are buried. A private family gathering
will be held. Those so desiring may make a
donation to the Dr. Peter Aid Foundation.

VOGT, Erich
Erich Wolfgang Vogt passed away on February 19
after a short illness. He lived a long and eventful
life shaped by his sense of wonder and enormous
vitality. He had a profound influence on his five
children, 16 grandchildren, thousands of students
and countless colleagues. He will be greatly
missed. Erich was born on November 12, 1929 in
the small Mennonite community of Steinbach,
Manitoba. A store-keeper’s son and one of six
brothers, he knew at an early age that education
was the key to his future. He received his
undergraduate degree at the University of
Manitoba (B.Sc. 1951) and his doctorate at
Princeton University in 1955. He had the good
fortune to be working in nuclear physics during a
period when the field was flourishing. Many of the
giants of 20th century physics were his mentors
and colleagues. From 1956-65, Erich was on the
staff of the Chalk River Nuclear Laboratory and
was closely involved in the creation of the CANDU
reactor. In 1965, he started teaching at the
University of British Columbia. He was a gifted and
caring teacher. He gave his last lecture in 2009 at
the age of 80. Erich was a founder and one of the
prime movers behind TRIUMF, Canada's national
laboratory for particle and nuclear physics. He was
made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1974 for
his role in this project. From 1975 to 1981, he was a
Vice President at U.B.C. and from 1981 until his
retirement in 1994, he was the Director of TRIUMF.
He received many awards and honourary degrees
during his lifetime and served on science advisory
panels at Los Alamos, Stanford, Berkeley, MIT,
Rice University and universities in Germany and
Switzerland. He was co-editor of “Advances in
Nuclear Physics” from 1968 to 2004. His personal
life was equally full. In 1952, he married Barbara
Mary Greenfield who shared his life, nurtured his
family and tempered his excesses and
eccentricities until her death in 2006. He is
mourned by his five children and their spouses:
Susan (Joel), Lisa (Chris), David (Tracy), Jonathan
(Eleanor) and Robert (Brenda) and his 16
grandchildren: Samuel; Madeleine, Patrick,
Gabrielle, Charlotte and Peter; Megan (Hamish),
Eric, Kennedy and Brianna; Naomi and Deborah;
Parker, Nicolas, Matthew and Alexander, his
surviving brother, Peter (Linda), his brother-inlaw, Oliver (Elaine) and a wide circle of friends and
former students in the U.S., England, Australia,
Japan, Israel, Switzerland and many other
countries. The world was a place of wonder for him
and the pursuit of knowledge and experiences was
essential to a life well-lived. He taught his children
and grandchildren to love books, nature, music,
birds, languages, travel, gardening, story-telling,
history and the special places of Pacific Rim
National Park on Vancouver Island, where the
family vacationed every summer and the
mountains of B.C. He was not, however, a straightlaced academic. He had a low German sense of
humour and a pronounced competitive streak. He
grew tons of tomatoes every summer and baked
dozens of fruitcakes and made sure that everyone
knew the latest count. He frequently embarrassed
his children with his lack of inhibition in public. He
was a very intelligent man who retained a schoolboy exuberance into old age. He lived a fortunate
life. A Celebration of Erich's life will be held March
8, 2014 from 2-4 p.m. at the U.B.C. Sage Bistro.

YANGON, Myanmar — An enormous
jade boulder that could weigh up to 50
tons has been found half buried in restive northern Myanmar, and the government has sent troops to protect it,
a state minister said Friday.
The raw jade was discovered by villages and small-scale miners in the
gem-rich region of Hpakant just over
a week ago, but since it’s still half buried, it’s impossible to know its exact
size, said Lajun Ngan Seng, the minister of resource-rich Kachin state.
He said authorities believe it may
be 5.5 metres wide, weighing up to 50
tons. “It’s being guarded by soldiers,”
the minister said, adding that after it
is completely unearthed, “We’ll decide
what to do with it.”
Myanmar is one of the world’s biggest producers of jade, most found in
the conflict-torn mountains of Kachin,
where ethnic rebels have been fighting
the government for more than half a
century.
The vast majority of the gemstones,
considered to be of the highest quality, are smuggled over the border to
China.
Hpakant has been closed off to largescale miners since 2011, because of
renewed fighting between government
troops and rebels with the Kachin
Independence Army. But individual miners and villagers, using rudimentary equipment, sometimes even
their bare hands, have not stopped
looking.
Dwut Lar, a church official with ties
to the rebels, said that the government and the rebel group were in discussions about the giant jade rock. He
said the insurgents were offered 10 per
cent of its yet-to-be-determined value,
but rejected that as far too low.

MADRID, Spain — Spain’s Interior
Ministry on Friday posted videos online
showing police firing rubber bullets as
African migrants swam into Spanish
territory from Morocco, but denied this
action contributed to the drowning of
15 migrants.
The police-produced videos show bullets striking the sea as migrants tried
to swim around the fence separating
Moroccan territory from Spain’s North
African enclave of Ceuta on Feb. 6. Earlier, hundreds had tried to breach border security barriers by land.
Interior Minister Jorge Fernandez
Diaz said police fired the projectiles
in front of the migrants, not directly at
them. He said all victims had drowned
in Moroccan waters.
Spanish officials initially denied that
rubber bullets had been fired into the
sea. But Diaz told lawmakers Feb. 13
that police fired rubber bullets, blank
cartridges and smoke canisters to try to
spur the migrants to stay in Morocco.
Diaz said despite the police action, 23
migrants did arrive in Ceuta, and he
suggested this demonstrated that police
had not used excessive force.
Ceuta is one of two Spanish territories surrounded by Morocco and the
Mediterranean Sea. Annually, thousands of Africans hoping to reach a better standard of living in Europe camp
on Morocco’s north coast and try to
cross over onto Spanish soil.

UNITED STATES
State-approved pot operations face federal prosecution
Critics say the actions of tax officials, local prosecutors against medical marijuana dispensaries are politically motivated
WILLIAM MARSDEN
POSTMEDIA NEWS
WASHINGTON
F
atigued by her lonely protest, Betsey Davies sat in
front of the White House contemplating the long
flight back to her California home. Her trip to
Washington, she conceded, had been pointless. But she
never would have forgiven herself had she not, for the
sake of her son, made one last plea for a pardon from the
president.
“There’s no way to reach
Obama, it appears,” she said,
sitting on her two protest signs,
which serve as meagre insulation from the cold of the concrete bench.
She pulled them out from
under her. The first read: “Matt
Davies, five years in federal
prison for medical marijuana.”
The second: “Only Obama can
help.”
About 4,000 kilometres away,
her son Matt, 35, sat at home in
his Stockton, Calif., bungalow
with his wife and two young
children, resigned to his prison
sentence for running medical
marijuana dispensaries. He said
his mother’s trip was doomed
from the start. After all, it was
U.S. President Barack Obama
who got him into this mess in
the first place.
“He’s a liar,” Matt Davies said
of the president.
Thousands of pot sellers across
the 20 states that have legalized
medical marijuana doubtless
agree. Because U.S. federal law
still outlaws marijuana, placing it on the same level as crack
cocaine and heroin, state-sanctioned pot outlets have always
been exposed to federal action.
But since Obama took office in
2008, he has reassured them
in speeches and official justice
department memos that the
U.S. would not pursue them as
long as they were state-legal.
Despite his repeated assurances, federal prosecutors,
together with the U.S. Internal
Revenue Service, have been trying to shut them down. While
the public has focused on the
ongoing rollout of medical and
retail marijuana outlets in states
such as Colorado and Washington, U.S. prosecutors have been
quietly waging their own secret
drug war against the budding
legalized pot revolution, now a
$2.2-billion US industry.
Davies, an MBA graduate
who initially went into the real
estate business, is probably the
most striking example of the
dangers posed by treading the
fine line between conflicting
state and federal laws where
the fickle and almost whimsical
nature of American politics can
change the rules in a flash.
A California plebiscite legalized
medical marijuana in 1996. Only
after Obama promised in 2009
that federal prosecutors would
not go after people running dispensaries under state laws did
Davies decide to get into the
business, which under California
law must be run as non-profits.
He said he obtained all the necessary state and city permits and
within two years had built one of
the biggest operations in California, with close to 100 employees.
He had two organic-certified
cannabis production facilities
serving a string of dispensaries
ELAINE THOMPSON/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILES
U.S. President Barack Obama has assured operators of medical marijuana dispensaries that they wouldn’t be prosecuted if they
followed state laws. However, local prosecutors have the right to interpret government memos any way they see fit.
“
The war is really between the voters
of the states who have exercised their
constitutional right to pass laws that the federal
prosecutors are not willing to accept.
HENRY WYKOWSKI
LAWYER WHO DEFENDS MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES
and about 20,000 patients.
By the end of the second year,
he had grossed $10 million a
year. He poured most of the
money back into the business
— as required by a non-profit
— and kept only $50,000 for
himself, according to an independent audit.
In October 2011, a police task
force armed with machine guns
raided his home. They also
raided his dispensaries and
warehouses.
They seized his marijuana,

shut down his operations and
charged him, his partner and an
employee, who just happened
to be on-site, with numerous
counts of drug trafficking.
Davies was but one part of
an ongoing global strategy
designed to close medical marijuana outlets across the U.S.,
Henry Wykowski, a former
federal prosecutor who now
defends medical marijuana dispensaries, said in an interview.
First, the IRS tried to tax
the medical pot sellers out of
>
business. Arguing that they
were criminal organizations and
could not claim business deductions, it began reassessing medical pot dispensaries all over the
U.S. and charging them millions
of dollars in back taxes.
A California court, however,
ruled against the IRS reassessments, claiming they violated
state law. So the justice department tried a new tactic. Soon
after Davies’ arrest, it began
sending letters to landlords
threatening to seize their property unless they evicted their
pot-selling tenants.
In California alone, more than
150 outlets immediately shut
down, putting thousands out of
work and depriving public treasuries of millions of tax dollars
Three memos issued by the
office of the Attorney General
since 2008 promised not to
prosecute medical marijuana
dispensers run according to
state law. But district attorneys
have the right to interpret those
memos as they see fit and many
are taking a hard line.
They have justified criminal
prosecutions by claiming that
the targeted dispensaries have
become “too big.” Yet the California Supreme Court and the
justice department guideline
memos have ruled that size cannot be a factor in prosecutions.
“The war is really between the
voters of the states who have
exercised their constitutional
right to pass laws that the federal prosecutors are not willing
to accept,” Wykowski said.
Davies lives in the Republican
eastern district of California,
where support for legalization
is weaker.
Facing 20 or more years in
prison, he says he signed a plea
deal in December resulting in
a five-year sentence, which he
begins serving March 3.

Grainy Mustard is a play on a traditional Dijon, and a little sweeter than the store-bought variety. Since mustard can
be quite pungent, it’s best served with something rich. When added to a Parisian-style sandwich, a creamy cheese like
brie prevents its punch from being too overpowering.

Shallot-Tarragon Mayonnaise
VAN01162683_1_1
This homemade mayonnaise can be used to top anything from sandwiches to steak. However, nothing is more satisfying than having it alongside some crispy pommes frites.
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon (15 mL) smooth Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon (15 mL) shallot, finely chopped
2 tablespoons (30 mL) fresh tarragon,
chopped
generous pinch sea salt
generous pinch freshly ground black pepper
1-1.5 cups lightly flavoured vegetable oil
(light tasting olive oil or canola)
Juice of ½ lemon
In large bowl, whisk Dijon, egg yolks, shallot,
tarragon, salt and pepper.
While whisking, slowly begin to drizzle in oil.
Keep doing so until mixture becomes
a thicker dressing or mayonnaise-type
consistency.
Once desired thickness, whisk in lemon
juice (this will thin it out just a bit.)
Anthony Gismondi
This can also be done in a Food
Processor:
The Doctor’s Sauvignon Blanc 2012,
Marlborough, South Island, New
Zealand, $20
Combine all ingredients except for the
oil and lemon juice in a food processor.
Pulse until well combined.
While pulsing, slowly drizzle in oil until mixture has thickened before adding lemon
juice.
WINE PAIRINGS
Pommes frites and glass of Sauvignon
to cut through the mayo can make for
a tasty lunch even if the main course
never shows up.
At 9.5 per cent with a refreshing
gooseberry/passion fruit mode, this
Sauvignon will slice through the
mayonnaise and perk up the pommes frites.
Arrogant Frog Ribet White Sauvignon
Blanc 2012, Vin de Pays d’Oc,
Languedoc, France, $13
Opposites attract and the aromatic,
grassy notes with a hints of citrus
and lime rind make this southern
French Sauvignon the yin to the yang
mayonnaise.
Lemon, Pepper & Parsley Butter
This fresh and fragrant butter can be used on practically anything, but its flavour really sings when it’s heated. Using
it to stuff a chicken breast, top baked fish or finish a filet mignon means you’ve added that extra needed bit of amour.
½ cup (125 mL) unsalted butter,
room temperature
Zest of 1 lemon, finely grated
Generous pinch coarsely ground black
pepper
Generous pinch flaked sea salt
2 tablespoons (30 mL) fresh parsley, finely
chopped
Combine all ingredients in a stand mixer
Mix on medium until well combined.
To sheet of plastic wrap or parchment
paper, transfer butter mixture from bowl
to make a small pile.
Roll up like you would a thick cigar, then
roll back and forth until you get what
looks like a store bought stick of butter.
You can keep it round or you can press
each side against the table to give it a
rectangular shape.
Roll the ends up like a bon-bon and let sit
in fridge for at least an hour until set.
Keep in fridge for a week or so.
WINE PAIRINGS
A delightful butter that melts into the
dish but it’s likely the protein (fish or
meat) that will dictate the match. The
pepper will intensify the tannins so be
careful; if its meat, a well-balanced Bordeaux works; if its fish, think Riesling.
Anthony Gismondi

GOLF
McDowell survives
in Match Play — again
DOUG FERGUSON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MARANA, Ariz. — Not even Graeme
McDowell can believe he’s still alive in
the Match Play Championship.
Right when it looked as if he’d used all
his magic, McDowell pulled off another
improbable escape Friday to advance
to the quarter-finals at Dove Mountain.
This time, all he had to do was win the
last two holes to force overtime, make
a 20-foot par putt to extend the match,
and then beat Hunter Mahan with a
birdie on the 21st hole.
“Nine lives have been used up, and
then some,” McDowell said.
He again provided plenty of drama
on a warm afternoon filled with it.
Sergio Garcia bizarrely conceded
an 18-foot par putt to Rickie Fowler
on the seventh hole because he felt
bad about taking so long on a drop
away from bees on the previous hole.
Fowler wound up getting back in the

match with three straight birdies, and
winning with a birdie on the 18th.
Jim Furyk, who played college golf
at Arizona, rallied from 3 down on the
front nine to beat Harris English.
Ernie Els hit a magnificent shot into
the 18th hole for a birdie to knock off
his second major champion in two
days — Justin Rose on Thursday,
Jason Dufner on Friday. Next up is
Jordan Spieth, the 20-year-old Texan
who took out defending champion
Matt Kuchar.
The others advancing to the quarterfinals were Jason Day (3 and 1 over
George Coetzee); Louis Oosthuizen
had the best round, 6 under through
14 holes in beating Webb Simpson;
and Victor Dubuisson of France won
the first two holes and held on to beat
Bubba Watson.
Perhaps it is only fitting that
McDowell next plays Dubuisson.
McDowell has never led in any match
until the last hole. Dubuisson has
never trailed in his three matches.
CFL
Lions release Jackson, re-sign Marsh
The Canadian Press
The B.C. Lions parted ways with
Paris Jackson on Friday, granting the
veteran Canadian receiver his release
so that he could pursue other CFL
opportunities.
A Vancouver native who was the
Lions’ first selection (sixth overall) in
the 2003 CFL draft, Jackson played
185 regular-season games with B.C.,
catching 420 passes for 5,757 yards
and 31 touchdowns.
Jackson, 33, recorded back-to-back
1,000-yard campaigns with the Lions
in 2008 and 2009, but saw his role
within B.C.’s offence diminish drastically. He was used primarily on special teams the last three seasons and
caught just 10 passes for 97 yards in
18 games in 2013.
Meanwhile, the club also announced
it has re-signed defensive back Dante
Marsh, 34.
He has played 10 seasons with the
Lions. The Oakland, Calif., native had
73 tackles and three interceptions in
2013. He is the club’s all-time leader
in total tackles with 579 over 169 regular-season games.

Master builder bends wood to his will
The eventual solution was
creating 71 prefabricated
wood panels, each with varying geometry, and all sized to
fit on a flat-deck truck. Each
panel was created complete
with structural, acoustic, thermal, electrical and even sprinkler components so the whole
thing could be erected in a few
weeks rather than months.
The challenge for Richmond’s
Olympic oval was to create a
long, light, 6.5-acre roof out of
ordinary 20-foot two by fours
that would span 43 feet and
absorb sound. It also had to be
highly cost-efficient.
Epp threw himself at the
problem with gusto, ultimately
doing 14 full-scale load tests.
Testing “allows you to snoop
around and explore new concepts and ideas without fear.”
During one test, “all of a sudden, we heard a noise. Everybody scatters and the whole
thing, this is a five-foot stack of
concrete blocks on a 43-footlong and 12-foot-wide test
panel, and the whole thing went
rumbling down,” Epp said. “We
actually saw this telegraphing
wave that went through the
structure as it collapsed. It’s
a textbook buckling phenomenon. To actually see it in real
life was just an epiphany.”
It took weeks of sleuthing to
identify the problem — a humble screw.
“We’re talking fractions of
millimetres of difference here,”
said Epp.

nodes, but Epp didn’t have the
budget to mill these blocks into
the right shape. Instead he split
the block into single sheets of
plywood “so you have a whole
bunch of jigsaw pieces that nest
together.”
A few years ago, Epp walked
to the pointy end of a 90-foot
cantilever which came to a stop
some 40 feet off the ground.
Balancing carefully, he bent his
knees and bounced.

SAN FRANCISCO — Facebook
Inc.’s $19-billion US purchase
of mobile-messaging startup WhatsApp Inc. is a stark
reminder of how much money
phone carriers are losing out
on as competitors let users text
and chat at no charge.
Free social-messaging applications like WhatsApp cost
phone providers around the
world — from Vodafone Group
Plc to America Movil SAB and
Verizon Communications Corp.
— $32.5 billion in texting fees
in 2013, according to research
from Ovum Ltd. That figure is
projected to reach $54 billion
by 2016.
As more customers have
switched to smartphones with
better Internet access, people are relying more on applications such as WhatsApp to
communicate. Instant-messaging services have taken off

outside the U.S. where carriers don’t throw unlimited texting into voice and data plans.
The rise of these applications
has offered a cheaper source of
communication, especially for
correspondence between different countries, undercutting
the texts that had once been a
key source of income for carriers worldwide.
“The trend has been that messaging is eating away into that
revenue, in some countries
more than others, and that

sure bounce and vibration is
not going to be an issue, and
the only way you’re going to
know is you’ve got to get out
there and do the heel test on it.
Lifelines don’t go out that far,
so you just make sure there is
no one around,” Epp said. “I

feel it.”
Sure enough, something was

trend will continue,” Chetan
Sharma, an independent wireless analyst in Issaquah, Washington, said in an interview.
“The impact of free messaging has been felt worldwide.
WhatsApp has clearly been the
cream of the crop.”
Representatives for Newbury, England-based Vodafone, Mexico City-based America Movil and Overland Park,
Kansas-based Sprint Corp.
didn’t respond to requests for
comment on the impact from
free messaging applications.
A representative for Dallasbased AT&T Inc. declined to
comment.
Facebook, the world’s largest
social network, said this week
that it’s buying WhatsApp in a
deal that values each of its 450
million active monthly users
at $42. Free for the first year
and 99 cents annually thereaf
thereafter, WhatsApp is almost always
cheaper than texting, especially
across national borders.
With a particularly strong
following in Europe, India and
Latin America, the service is
rapidly displacing traditional
text messaging as the preferred
method for young people to
stay in touch on mobile devices.
Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s
29-year-old chief executive
officer, said he expects WhatsApp to reach more than 1 billion people worldwide in the
next few years.
WhatsApp, Rebtel, Viber,
KakaoTalk and other services
use the Internet to send data
instead of a cellular network,
allowing users to send text,
multimedia and voice messages
for free, or close to it.
As free services continue to
gain in popularity, U.S. textmessaging revenue will decline
three per cent to four per cent
this year from $21 billion in
2013, Sharma estimated. Globally, carriers’ texting revenues
will peak by 2016 and then start
to drop as well, he said.

RETIREMENT
Before Fred’s company defined benefit pension
kicks in at age 60, when the plan would pay $25,600
a year before tax, their investment income based on
a conservative annual forecast 5.25% return consisting of 3% interest and dividend yield and 2.25%
asset growth before tax or inflation adjustments
would be about $93,000 based on present financial assets of stocks, uninvested cash, RRSPs and
TFSAs (but not the children’s RESPs) totalling
$1,775,000. That’s before tax. It would not be indexed to inflation and would not come close to pay
paying even their current expenses of $105,600 a year
net of savings.
At 60 they would have the $25,600 company
A
pension plus investment income. That would make
a total of $118,600 before tax, still not enough to
cover present expenses. If they channel $750,000 of
the sum of their current non-registered savings and
TFSAs $1,044,000, to the new home, they would
be left with just $294,000 to produce income. At
A
5.25% annual return, that would be $15,435 a year.
At this point, their income would be the company
A
pension, non-registered investment income and reduced CPP benefits totalling $12,262 a year for both
if they elect to take them at age 60. The sum would
be about $53,300 before tax. It would not maintain
their way of life. Their $731,000 RRSPs would be intact, however.
At age 65, Fred and Miriam would have his
company pension, which would then pay $34,500
a year. They could add Canada Pension Plan benefits at 65 and Old Age
A Security. E
Even then, the sum
of company pension, one CPP of $12,460 another
at $6,700, and two OAS benefits of $6,618 a year
would add up to $66,896 a year before tax. With
W out a new house, their financial assets, $1,775,000
net of the RESPs which will have been used for
tuition, even with no additions and 3% annual
return after inflation, would have grown over a
decade to $2,385,000. A
At the same yield, 3%, they
would have $71,550 pre-tax investment income.
That would boost total annual income to $138,500
without any new house purchase.
They can raise that income by saving. If they
can forego the new cars and additional travel
and save $45,000 a year for 10 years to age 65,
they would have $2,917,000. At 3% a year after
inflation, this sum could pay $87,500 a year before tax, pushing total income to $154,400 before
tax. After a 29% average tax and about $1,680
lost to the OAS clawback, they would have about
$9,000 a month to spend. That would sustain
their present way of life and budget net of TFSA
and other savings and a trimming of their restaurant, entertainment and food spending.
The choice is to have the new house and give up
their comfortable way of life of extensive travel,
lovely restaurants and fine wardrobes or keep all
of that and stay in their present house or something else with approximately the same price.
If they postpone a new house until they are 65,
they would have more money in the bank or invested, but the price of the house would have risen
about a third with 3% annual inflation in step with
their savings. Their present house would be worth
a third more too. Yet the economics of the deal —
and the fact that Fred’s pension is not indexed —
would not make the new house any more affordable if they are to maintain their present way of
life.
It’s not the conclusion this couple wanted to
hear: If they retire at 60, they won’t have enough
to support their current lifestyle. If they wait to 65,
their scenario is more positive but still no money for
a new house. If they buy the new house under any
scenario, they will be struggling. They have lived
well and gotten used to a big monthly paycheque,
maintaining that life without it will be difficult.
“It would be possible but risky to buy the house
and deplete financial assets,” Mr. Mastracci says.
“Whether
Whether they should do it is their choice.” PruW
dence, of course, suggests they stay put. The bottom line is a question: “when is enough, enough?”
It’s ultimately theirs to answer.

FINESSE YOUR
INSURANCE POLICIES
Insurance companies benefit
from clients who do not ask questions and from advisors who “file
and forget.” Once they sell you a
policy, they are not beholden to
tell you when prices have fallen or
whether there is a better way to
use your money. Here are five reasons why insurers don’t want you
to review your insurance:

nA
Alberta couple we’ll call Fred and Miriam, both 55, have all the problems of parents
in the so-called sandwich generation. Their two children, each in their early 20s, live at
home while attending university and they look after the affairs of Miriam’s mother, who
lives in an assisted living situation in eastern Canada. They look forward to a time when
they can live for themselves.
Their goal — buy a new house with double the market price of their present $745,000 home. A
After a
long career in the oil patch, they want a stately home to match their ample means. They have set aside
cash for the move. But can they keep their way of life and have the new house?
The new house, a good deal bigger than their present 1,800-square-foot bungalow, would be the start
of a new way of life. They put in their years working up to their present standard of living. T
To fill the garage of the new house, they would like two new cars at about $45,000 each. They would also travel more,
spending a third to a half as much as the $16,800 a year they presently spend — much of it in frequent
When the two kids leave home, that might free up some of the $2,400
trips to help out Miriam’s mother. W
a month spent on groceries and restaurants and other expenses.
Fred, a geologist with 32 years of experience in the oil and gas business, pays the bills. Miriam, who
quit her job in personnel management two decades ago, is a stay-at-home mom and homemaker.
Fred brings home $8,650 a month plus a variable bonus which, last year, was $75,000 after tax. In recent years, his average take home salary has worked out to $11,480 a month. Fred and Miriam have built
up about $2.7-million in total assets including their children’s RESPs. A little over a quarter of that is the
value of the family home. They have $1.86-million in total financial assets.
Family Finance put the problem of quitting work and then spending $750,000 plus the similar value
of their present house on their dream home to Adrian Mastracci, a financial planner and portfolio manager who heads KCM W
Wealth Management Inc. in Vancouver.

Hidden finance charges
Home and car insurance premiums
are calculated by taking your annual
premium and dividing it by 12. In the
life insurance industry, a term insurance or whole life insurance annual
premium can also be divided into
monthly payments — but the insurance companies charge a financing
premium of as much as 9%. That
means you pay an extra month’s
premium a year just for the benefit of
cash flow management. If you have
money in the bank or access to a
cheap line of credit, consider making
the annual payment and save your
money You can always go back to the
money.
monthly payment plan if necessary
necessary.
2
Term rates have dropped
Term life insurance has never been
as inexpensive as it is now
now. People
renewing their term insurance today pay less than they did 15 years
ago, even though they may be 15
years older. If you are close to the
end of a 10-year term plan or in a
new renewal past your first 10-year
term period, ask your advisor to get
the insurance reviewed. Not only
is there a good chance you will pay
less, but you can also extend the
duration of the policy to another
10-year, 20-year or longer term plan
with a starting date of today
today.
3
Revisit your ratings
If you were heavier when you
bought your policy — or smoked,
or participated in dangerous sports
like scuba diving — then your
policy was probably “rated.” That
means you paid more for your insurance premiums. But if you have
lost weight, for example, and are
now in better shape or have had
additional lifestyle changes, ask
to have your policy reviewed. The
price may come down or the rating
might be removed altogether.
4
Convert your policy
If you own a term insurance policy
and later develop a health problem,
do not let your insurance policy
lapse — keep paying your premiums
or your insurance will get cancelled.
Most term insurance policies have an
option that will allow you to convert
all or some of the policy to permanent insurance — without needing
medical evidence. Yes, it will be more
expensive, but you keep your coverage for when you need it most.
5
Lost policies
Be sure you let someone other
than your spouse know that you
have life insurance. If both spouses
die and have not left any notice for
anyone that they have a policy, the
money stays in the hands of the
insurer. Keep an estate directory
accessible by an executor.

TSX endS week wiTh
gain aS dollar diveS
By MalcolM Morrison
T O R O N T O • The Toronto stock market gave up a modest gain to close little
changed Friday while investors looked to
the release of a disappointing read on U.S.
home sales last month.
The S&P/TSX composite index slipped
4.65 points to 14,205.72 at the end of a positive week for the Toronto market.
The Canadian dollar continued to pile
up losses for a third day, down 0.28 of a
cent to US89.82¢ as Statistics Canada said
that December retail sales tumbled 1.8%
from November. Economists had expected
a drop of just 0.4%.
The agency also reported that the Canadian consumer price index was up 1.5% in
January compared with a year earlier.
U.S. indexes were lacklustre as the National Association of Realtors said existing
house sales dropped 5.1% in January following a 0.8% rise in December.
It was the worst pace in 18 months as
cold weather, limited supplies of homes on
the market and higher buying costs held
back purchases. The drop took the annualized rate of sales down to 4.62-million but
analysts said one month of negative data
doesn’t change the trend.
“The concern that started to surface
last year with the move in interest rates
was whether we would see a big impact
on mortgage financing — and we did see
a temporary slowdown on the housing
front,” said Mark Bayko, vice-president and
portfolio manager at RBC Wealth Management. “That was cause for some alarm but,
thus far, people remain fairly comfortable
with the improving trend that has been in
place now for quite some time.”
The Dow Jones industrials fell 29.93
points to 16,103.3, while the Nasdaq lost
4.14 points to 4263.41 and the S&P 500
index dropped 3.53 points to 1836.25.
Techs were the biggest TSX drag as
BlackBerry shed 24¢ or 2.3% to $10.17.
The gold sector moved down about
0.4% even as April gold gained $6.80 to
US$1,323.90 an ounce.
Eldorado Gold Corp. shares were 16¢
lower to $7.96 as the miner posted a
US$687.6-million quarterly net loss amid
lower values for its assets and reduced gold
prices and output. Revenue was $231.7-million, down from US$350-million in the
fourth quarter of 2012.
The energy sector rose 0.23% even as
crude oil in New York declined US72¢ to
US$102.20 a barrel. March copper was up a
cent at US$3.29 a pound and the base metals sector rose 0.19%.
Thompson Creek Metals Co. Inc. posted
an adjusted net loss of US$28.5-million or
17¢ per share, missing forecasts for a loss
of 3¢ a share. Revenue was also below expectations. But its shares rose 26¢ or 8.81%
to $3.21 as it also said that it will suspend
operations at its molybdenum mine in
Idaho by the end of this year due to persistent low prices.
The TSX ended the week with a solid
gain of 1.07%, reflecting general satisfaction with fourth-quarter earnings reports
and positive U.S. manufacturing data on
Thursday. The Dow faltered somewhat this
week, down 0.3% but strong earnings reports have left the index up 2.57% for the
month while the TSX has jumped 3.73% so
far in February.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PEORIA, Ariz. — The arrival of Robinson Cano suddenly left Brad Miller
in the midst of a competition.
Throughout his first experience last
season with the Seattle Mariners,
Miller showed signs at the plate and in
the field that he could be a long-term
answer at shortstop.
And then the Mariners threw $240
million toward Cano, and Miller was
left to enter spring training in a battle
with teammate Nick Franklin to be the
Mariners’ starting shortstop.
“We know we’re not going to be playing second base, one of us. That is the
reality of it,” Miller said Friday morning. “But I think we’re both focused
on putting our best, not necessarily
against the other guy, but putting our
best out there for the Mariners. That’s
pretty much the focus. ”
Miller was one of the pleasant surprises to come out of another down
season for the Mariners in 2013. He
vaulted from Double-A at the start of
the season into the Mariners’ starting lineup as their everyday shortstop
before the All-Star break. He brought
a jolt of energy and speed to the top
of the batting order and was solid in
the field.
Miller seemed locked into a starting
job going forward, only to be thrown
into a two-man race with Franklin.
When Seattle made the move to sign
Cano, it became obvious Franklin
would be moved from second base.
The question was where? Despite
rumours Franklin could be traded, he
was right next to Miller taking ground
balls when spring training started.
The competition could have created some acrimony between the two,
whose lockers sit next to each other in
the Mariners’ remodelled spring training clubhouse. But it hasn’t.
“Yeah, we’re working out at the
same position but we still have the
same working relationship,” Miller
said. “We’re both helping each other
out trying to get better and, honestly,
it kind of feels the same as last year,
we’re just working together.”
Each player has an advantage over
the other. Franklin is a switch hitter
with more power. Miller has better
speed and is more solid in the field.
Because of the strengths they bring,
the pair rides the line in the debate
about whether shortstop is still a position where defence is valued first or
offence.
For Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon, shortstop remains a defence-first
position, although he’s not about to
turn down someone who can bring the
offence as well. “I want a guy who is
going to make the routine plays. When
the ball is hit to short, I can turn and
think about something else,” McClendon said. “Ideally you like a combination of defence and offence, you’d like
that at every position, but you’ve got
to be able to catch the ball.”
Miller also learned about the rigours
of going through a full season last year.
Between his time in the minors and
the 76 games with the Mariners, Miller
appeared in 144 games last season. In
an effort to be sturdier throughout the
season, Miller — who was listed at 185
pounds last season — added noticeable bulk to his frame. Miller said he’s
now around 210 pounds.
Bautista set to put injury
woes behind him
Blue Jays’ slugger arrives at camp in top condition
JOHN LOTT
POSTMEDIA NEWS
DUNEDIN, Fla. — On the first day of
full-squad workouts, on the first pitch
from Todd Redmond in live batting
practice, Jose Bautista whacked the
ball over the fence in right-centre.
Bautista, relaxed and upbeat, hit
balls hard and far throughout batting
practice. Given that it was Feb. 21,
this hardly qualified as an omen, but
for the Toronto Blue Jays, it certainly
beat the alternative.
The last time Bautista played in a
game that counted was Aug. 20. Then
a hip injury shelved him for the season. A year earlier, he was finished on
Aug. 25, done in by a wrist problem.
Over those two seasons, he played in
just 210 games, hitting 55 homers with
a slash line of .251/.358/.510/.868
and a 7.2 WAR. Creditable numbers,
to be sure, but awash with unfinished
business.
Injuries have sabotaged the Jays for
two years running and helped drive
them into the American League East
cellar last season. Bautista observed
that his own injuries did not result
from any neglect of his conditioning,
but nonetheless, he resolved to come
to camp in the best shape of his life.
He and teammate Melky Cabrera
— another 2013 casualty — reside in
nearby Tampa and have been working out together twice daily since midDecember. Part of their strength and
conditioning drills included “flipping
tires, pushing cars, crazy stuff like
that,” Bautista said.
By the time Cabrera hit the disabled

training on Friday in Dunedin, Fla.
list for good last Aug. 2, he was barely
mobile, owing to crippling pain in his
back and legs. Earlier tests showed
nothing serious, but finally doctors
discovered, and removed, a walnutsized tumour on his spine.
When Cabrera suited up Friday, he
looked lighter, quicker and stronger.
During their winter workouts, Bautista said he was startled by Cabrera’s
strength, especially evident when they
took on those super-sized tires in their
afternoon workouts.
“He’s way stronger than I am physically,” Bautista said. “He’s really surprised me this off-season. Hopefully,
the removal of the tumour from his
back is going to allow him to gain that
lower-extremity strength that he was
lacking last year.”

Rooney sticking with United
Brash-talking Manziel
all business at NFL’s
scouting combine
Striker’s new, lucrative deal reportedly worth $501,000 US a week
Blatter says video
should be used to
punish divers, fakers
ROB HARRIS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Less than a year
after pushing to leave Manchester United, Wayne Rooney
committed his long-term future
to the struggling English Premier League champion on Friday by signing a lucrative new
contract through June 2019.
The 28-year-old striker’s
future at United has been mired
in uncertainty since Chelsea
tried to sign him last year, and
he had only 18 months remaining on his current Old Trafford
deal.
But Rooney now looks set
to end his playing career at
the club he has been at since
2004 after signing a new contract, reportedly worth up to
$501,000 US a week.
The deal makes Rooney the
league’s top earner, and softens the blow of potentially not
playing against Europe’s elite
clubs next season.
In the first season since David
Moyes replaced Alex Ferguson,
Manchester United is seventh
in the league with 12 matches
remaining.
The team is 11 points from the
fourth Champions League qualification place.
“It’s not a massive concern for
me,” Rooney said on his personal website.
“This is because I know the
direction that this club is going
in, and if we don’t make it this
season then we will come back
stronger and claim a Champions League spot next season.
ANDREW YATES/AFP/GETTY IMAGES
Manchester United star Wayne Rooney looks set to end his
playing career at the club he has been at since 2004.
Video evidence should be used
to punish soccer players who
dive, fake injuries or waste time,
FIFA president Sepp Blatter said
on Friday.
Seeking to eradicate cheating
from the game, Blatter questioned why disciplinary bodies
are not using existing rules to
take retrospective action.
“Video evidence can contribute
greatly to fair play, provided the
sport’s disciplinary bodies are
prepared to use it — and they
should,” Blatter wrote in his column in FIFA’s weekly magazine.
FIFA’s disciplinary code states
audio or video recordings are
permissible.
“Video evidence can be used for
serious breaches of the principle
of fair play such as brawling,
spitting at opponents, verbal
insults and racist slurs, or for
incorrectly awarded red or yellow cards,” Blatter said.
INDIANAPOLIS — Johnny
Manziel shed the Hollywood
image on Friday — maybe for
good.
The brash-talking quarterback from Texas A&M entered
and exited the Lucas Oil Stadium media room through a
back door.
He ignored the TV screens
around him, monitors that
provided live coverage of his
media availability and that had
been showing his college football highlights.
And it seemed Johnny Football had suddenly transformed
himself into Johnny Business.
“This is a job now. There are
guys’ families, coaches’ families
and jobs and all kinds of things
on the line,” he said in a stern,
deliberate voice at the NFL’s
scouting combine.
“For me, it won’t be a hard
thing to kick. I’m extremely
focused on whatever organization I’ll be at and really pouring
my heart out trying to be football 24-7 with that team.”
What he has to prove now is
that he means every word.
Since bursting onto the
national stage in his Heismanwinning freshmen season,
Manziel has been living large.
He’s been courtside at NBA
games, played golf at Pebble
Beach, partied in Cabo and has
become a feature attraction for
memorabilia hounds.
Rob Harris, The Associated Press
In 403 United appearances,
he has scored 208 goals, putting him fourth on the club’s
all-time scoring leaderboard,
41 behind Bobby Charlton.
“Wayne has been the best
player in England since I put
him into the Everton first team
in 2003,” Moyes said.
“Since becoming United manager in July last year, I have
“Let’s not forget we still have
a chance this year. Some of the
other teams are playing well,
but we have a strong squad
here and if we have a positive
end to the season then who
knows what can happen.”
The England international has
been at United almost a decade,
since leaving an Everton side
then managed by Moyes.
MICHAEL MAROT
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
enjoyed working with him and
seeing just how he has developed his incredible talent.”
As part of the new contract,
Rooney will become a club
ambassador when his playing
career ends.
And already, he is central to
the club’s global marketing
operation, as one of the team’s
most high-profile players.
MICHAEL CONROY/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Quarterback Johnny Manziel
showed off his serious side on
Friday at the NFL combine.
But in Indianapolis, none of
that stuff means a thing. Here,
scouts and NFL front-office
executives are treating Manziel
as just another draft hopeful.
Most teams want to know
whether this 21-year-old, funloving football star is mature
enough to handle millions of
dollars and live up to the tag of
franchise quarterback.
The Texas native believes he
will only continue to get better
on a bigger stage.
“I’m from a small town of Kerrville, Texas, 20,000 people.
“That gets lost when people
make me out to be a big Hollywood guy,” Manziel said.
“Sometimes you get caught
up in certain things, but at the
same time it’s about continuing to learn and continuing to
adapt to everything that’s going
on in my life.”

PANAMA
In search of the elusive harpy eagle
Birders trek for four hours through humid Panamanian jungle for chance to see rare creature
CAROL MATTHEWS
SPECIAL TO THE SUN
MOGUE, Panama — The
sounds of the rainforest at night
are eerie and the darkness is
complete. Lying on a wooden
platform 2½ metres off the
ground, with only a grass roof
and no walls, the forest seems
as alive at night as it is during
the day.
There is an eerie whistling
sound piercing the darkness.
The call of the great potoo is
reminiscent of something out
of the movie Predator. But
while potoos are amazing, my
husband and I are here in the
Darien Jungle to find one of
the world’s rarest birds — the
harpy eagle.
Finding them is like the proverbial needle in a haystack
as the harpy is listed as near
threatened and fighting for survival. One of the largest species
of eagle, it inhabits the rainforests of Central and South
America.
My husband and I, along with
four other birders from Seattle,
are in a race against time to see
a harpy. We learn of an active
nest site discovered by an
Embera villager and have hiked
deep into the jungle to find it.
Our adventure starts with a
boat trip from Puerto Quimba,
via the small town of Las Palma
and up the Mogue river to the
Embera village of Mogue,
which is to be home for the next
few days.
It has been an extremely
long day, comprised of about
seven hours of travel by car
and motorized canoe and an
equal number of hours hanging
around in 37 C heat — neither
the border guards nor the tides
had co-operated.
An anticipated lunchtime
arrival never happens, and by
the time our canoe draws into
the village, the sun is already
down. We are greeted by
adults and children from the
village, who carry our supplies to our sleeping quarters and produce a wonderful
meal, to be eaten while seated
on the floor.
It is truly the experience of a
lifetime to wake the following
morning on a platform in an
Embera village kilometres into
the rainforest as the eerie night
sounds give way to a dawn
chorus.
The plan for “Harpy Day” is to
enjoy coffee and breakfast prepared by the women of the village and then to head out with
Finding the nest of a rare harpy eagle involved a four-hour hike through the Darien jungle. Getting to Mogue village involved a six-hour car trip from Panama City and a
1½-hour canoe ride.
our Embera guide on a twohour hike through the jungle to
the harpy eagle nest. A leisurely
walk back down to the village in
time for lunch is to follow.
Coffee and breakfast go as
planned, but that’s it for the
rest of the day.
A steep, muddy trail winds
uphill through thick tropical jungle, and the humidity
is high. We slog behind our
nimble guide, soaked in perspiration, and keep an eye out
for birds, biting insects and
the legendary fer-de-lance,
the Darien’s most feared and
deadly snake.
If we had realized that a twohour hike by Embera standards
is a four-hour hike for the rest
of us, we would have foregone
breakfast and started earlier;
but now we find ourselves a
long way from our target with
the heat rising dramatically.
Two of our party have to turn
back because the conditions
had become overwhelming —
but the rest of us trudge on,
refusing to give in.
As we near our target, we slow
our pace, creeping forward
expectantly. Then we arrive at
our destination — a huge kapok
tree with an equally huge harpy
eagle nest 30 metres above
ground — and there is no harpy
eagle.
All this work and no bird —
we looked at each other and
burst out laughing; surely fate
couldn’t be that cruel.
Our guide immediately gets to
work with an amazing imitation
of the eagle call. He calls and
calls and all of a sudden, there
it is. It ghosts into the tree and
sits looking at us with a piercing stare. The raptor sports a
huge beak and enormous talons
the same size as a grizzly bear.
We set up our telescope and
focus on the harpy, not daring
to move. The spell is broken by
a scream — from me. Something is biting my foot.
A four-centimetre-long, reddish-black insect is heading
into my boot — biting me as it
goes.
Our guide snatches the
invader and informs us it’s a
bullet ant — so named because
if it stings you, it feels like you
have been shot.
I am have been bitten
(not stung), but it is painful
enough.
We set off on our return at
a quick pace and break into
the village clearing at about 4
p.m., then enjoy the evening
meal and cold beer (which we
packed in and had put on ice).
While some would think us
quite mad to put all this effort
into spotting a bird — and I
struggle at times with interfering in different cultures —
showing the locals there is an
economic value to protecting
their wildlife may help us keep
some of it around for a little
longer.
It is unlikely that my husband and I will ever see the
harpy eagle in the wild again,
but my hope is that other may
continue to enjoy this magnificent creature for years to
come.

from Colombia. To access open
zone, you must drive about six
hours from Panama City and
then take a motorized canoe
for about 1½ hours down the
Mogue River to Mogue village.
Entry requires written permission from the Panamanian
government and the best way
to obtain that is through an

It’s called the Powder
Highway: Here’s why
Better make sure you’ve got good snow
tires or chains if you head out on the
Powder Highway this week. This access
route is the yellow-brick road to many
of B.C.’s most renowned lift-serviced
resorts, heli and snowcat operators, and
backcountry lodges. In the past week,
they’ve all been hammered with snow,
thanks to a series of storms that were
lined up off the Pacific Ocean. Yes, winter has arrived a bit later than usual, but
if you haven’t sold your fat skis yet, then
now is the time to put them to use.
Thanks to the stats guys at Snowseekers.
com, totals during the past week have
been Panorama at 104 cm (a rather
surprising total, since Panorama isn’t
known as a deep powder destination),
Fernie at 99 cm, Kicking Horse at 84 cm,
Revelstoke at 78, and Whitewater at 76,
and Kimberley at 65.
The Powder Highway blog shows how
paying just a bit more for that cat or
heli-skiing access can make a big difference. RK Heli Skiing (Panorama) has
received 170 cm this past week, while
Monashee Powder Snowcats (Revelstoke) was blessed with 123 cm, White
Grizzly Cat Skiing (Meadow Creek) got
94 cm and Island Lake Catskiing (Fernie)
came in at 70 cm.

Steep Camp launches
for hard-core skiers
Are you the kind of skier who starts
his day with stomach-crunching,
killer ab exercises, leg lunges, and a
high-intensity workout on the exercise
bike? Who holds down a high paying full-time job while pounding out
35,000 vertical feet a day (recorded on
your Suunto altimeter watch) in Whistler, lineups be damned? Do you keep
a quiver of powder and all-mountain
skis to pull out for a variety of weather
conditions?
Well, then Mike Wiegele Helicopter
Skiing in Blue River has the package for
you. The Steep Camp (runs from April 5
to 12) says it all. For seven straight days,
expert guides and coaches will provide
tips on finding the best line, reading a
slope, steep skiing etiquette, and terrain
selection.
Learn to improve your ability to ski
steep slopes and chutes with top ski
guides. Your individual technique will
be assessed with the help of a video
analysis.
There will be helicopter access to the
mountain, couloirs, glaciers, big steep
faces, and tree skiing.
As always with Mike Wiegele Helicopter
Skiing, safety is the highest priority, and
avalanche stability will dictate where
participants are able to safely ski.

Check out art at Ski
and Snowboard fest
Proving once again it’s about much
more than snow sports, the World Ski
and Snowboard Festival is looking for a
few good artists to show some of their
best work for the annual sports and
cultural event.
At the visual-arts portion of the festival,
called State of the Art, visitors will view
work in the 10,000-square-foot State of
the Art gallery space, which will also be
the foyer for the festival’s sold-out, afterdark cultural events.
State of the Art 2014 exhibit will link the
artistic and design world with the action
sports industry and street, mountain
and urban culture, organizers say.
In the past week, 104 cm of snow has fallen at Panorama Mountain.

‘Wrap it up’
has new meaning
A Dubai-based design company called
OP-EN wants to wrap the Burj Khalifa,
the world’s tallest tower at 828 metres,
in a light, transparent fabric. Why? In
the name of art. The company says it’s
aiming to “augment the tower’s symbol
as an urban centre of gravity and create an artistic atmosphere on a vast
architectural scale.” The Burj Khalifa attracted more than 1.87 million tourists
last year. There’s no confirmed timeline
for this sizable undertaking. Freud

Getting sexy

Are you tech-savvy and yearning for
romantic encounters with fellow plane
passengers? You may be in luck. A
new mobile app called Wingman is
about to debut on iTunes. It’s similar
to Tinder, but according to 24-year-old
designer Gabe Whaley, it’s specifically
to help you meet hotties on your next
flight. You can sort through potential
candidates by picture, name, age, and
job before trying to connect in person.
“Hey, baby, are you into hot towels and
pretzels?” is always a good opener.
Hobbit village
to be built
Plans are afoot to build a hobbit village inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s The
Lord of the Rings for tourists. Interestingly, it’ll be located 140 kilometres
outside Moscow. The 6.47-hectare-large
property will feature cosy houses with
earth roofs, accommodating up to 60
people. It’ll welcome both families and
corporate retreats. Presumably you get a
discount if your name is Bilbo Ivanov.

Uncorking
B.C.’s progress
Vancouver International Wine Festival
fetes province’s thriving vino culture
ANTHONY
GISMONDI
IN THE CELLAR
I
t’s festival week in Vancouver and for
the many local wine lovers and the
equally engaged trade, it’s the biggest week of the year. It’s hard to measure the total impact of wine in British
Columbia but it is safe to say businesswise, it’s big, and becoming bigger.
When the Vancouver International
Wine Festival began in 1979, the
notion of a wine culture in Vancouver was mostly wishful thinking. The
monthly Four Seasons Hotel winemaker dinners in those days were
incubators of what would become a
sophisticated wine culture aided by
a generous helping hand from thengeneral manager Ruy Paes-Braga.
Paes-Braga was born in Portugal and
travelled extensively in Europe. His
keen eye for perfection and his love of
gastronomy made the Four Seasons a
breeding ground for disciples of food
and wine.
With a budding interest in wine, I
was kindly invited to dine with each
visiting winemaker. While absorbing
the imagination of the many talented
chefs, the winemaker tales and PaesBraga’s relentless demand for perfection, I had a free education in the culture of food and wine.
Typically, a winery would be invited
from California or France to play host
to the dinner. The wines would arrive
under diplomatic cover courtesy of
that country’s consul general and the
costs were kept affordable. It’s was a
novel solution and an innovative way
to circumvent the hefty border taxes
that would make a dinner with six or
eight wines unaffordable. Each dinner seemed to raise the level of awareness of just what could be achieved in
matching food and wine, and slowly
but surely they would set a standard
that would attract some of the biggest
names in wine to Vancouver.
By the time I got this job in the late
1980s, a seat at the Four Seasons wine
dinner was a hot ticket. It wasn’t long
before the concept spread across the
city’s growing hotel and restaurant
scene in essence seeding the food and
wine culture we see today.
Meanwhile, 250 kilometres to the
east in the Okanagan Valley, two key
events would occur that would solidify the foundation of the B.C.’s modern wine culture. The nuts and bolts
of a primitive set of wine rules, the
Vintners Quality Alliance was assembled by a small group of forwardingthinking B.C. wine pioneers. A quarter
century later, the VQA symbol is the
calling card of 100-per-cent grownin-B.C. wine. The symbol is under
fire by many who think it has outlived
its usefulness but there can be little
doubt VQA has done its share to first
inspire us to drink B.C. wine and more
recently to inspire a whole new generation of investors to take the Okanagan seriously.
Then there is Chris Coletta, the indefatigable leader of Okanagan Crush
Pad. Coletta in the 1990s was the head
of the British Columbia Wine Institute, and it was her team that coined
the slogan “Pinot Gris and Salmon, a
Marriage Made in heaven.” Linking
local food to local wine was a master stroke for the tiny struggling wine
industry. It immediately plugged distant wineries into the downtown Vancouver chef and restaurant community starting a connection that has
strengthened both participants over
the last three decades.
RECIPE
WINE MATCH
Melazne Repiene alla Pugliese
(Stuffed Eggplant Puglia Style)
Preference
for Puglia
Eggplant, tomatoes, cheese, what
could be more Pugliese? Add the
wine, recommended by our wine
critic, some rustic bread, and you
have yourself a simple, delicious
boot-of-Italy meal. From Lidia’s
Commonsense Italian Cooking by
Lidia Matticchio Bastianich and
Tanya Bastianich Manuali.
then scoop out the flesh, leaving a
½-inch (1 cm) shell. Cut the eggplant
flesh into small cubes. In a large, nonstick skillet, over medium-high heat, heat
2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil. Season the inside
of the eggplant shells with 1 tsp (5 mL)
salt, then brown them, cut side down,
in the oil, about 2 minutes. Remove and
place in an oiled baking dish, cut side up.
Mia Stainsby
In the same skillet, heat the remaining
2 tbsp (30 mL) of the olive oil. Add the
eggplant flesh and garlic. Once the
eggplant has begun to wilt, add the
tomatoes and crushed red pepper, and
cook until the eggplant is tender but the
tomatoes still retain their shape, about
5 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a
bowl, stir in half of the grated cheeses,
the parsley and the mint. Stuff the filling
into the eggplant shells and top with the
remaining grated cheeses.
6 small Italian eggplants (about 1½ pounds,
680 g)
1⁄3 cup (80 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
1½ tsp (7.5 mL) kosher salt
2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
2 ripe medium tomatoes, seeded, chopped
¼ tsp (1 mL) crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup (250 mL) Grana Padano or ParmigianoReggiano
1 cup (250 mL) grated Italian Fontina
2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh mint
Eggplant is almost flavourless so it’s
the cheese, tomato and spice you
should pay attention to. For this
recipe, think southern Italian reds.
Anthony Gismondi
Giorgio & Gianni Negroamaro 2010,
Salento, Puglia, Italy $12
Round, fresh, easy sipping red with
peppery, smoky and black cherry fruit to
enhance the eggplant dish.
Luccarelli Negroamaro 2012,
Puglia, Italy $15
Warm, meaty plummy
southern Italian fruit with
coffee, chocolate balsamic
notes that will counter the
cheese and tomato.
Cover with the foil, and bake for 30
minutes. Uncover, and bake until the
eggplant shells are tender and the top is
browned, about 10 to 15 minutes more.
Preheat oven to 400 F. Halve the eggplants lengthwise. Scoop out any seeds,
Makes 6 servings
The culture of food began to penetrate B.C. wineries and the culture of
wine similarly grew in city restaurants.
All the while the Playhouse took the
torch from Robert Mondavi in 1979,
growing bigger and better each year
with help from the same consulate
protection the Four Seasons pioneered. The result is British Columbia is a much better place to work, live
and play.
Whether you find yourself this
week in the midst of the best consumer wine show on the continent, or
perhaps sitting at a bar in front of a
sleek Enomatic wine dispenser with
20 wine selections perfectly preserved
under gas, give a thought to some of
the events that are all part of British
Columbia’s thriving culture of wine
and food.

Bila-Haut Rouge 2012, Côtes
du Roussillon, France
Price: $16 | Score: 90/100
UPC: 03391181381031
This wine is awash in floral,
savoury, black fruit aromas
and the attack is round and
juicy with plummy, wild
smoky, peppery, fruit flavours,
Delicious from front to back.
Drink now or over the next
3-5 years. A fabulous example
of bio-dynamically grown
fruit at giveaway price.
Chateau de Nages Butnages
Rouge Grenache-SyrahMourvèdre 2011, Rhone

Price: $20 | Score: 88/100
UPC: 3760036077830
Medium colour, wet stone,
mineral, red fruit nose with
bits of cassis and raspberry.
The palate is dry stony briary
mix of meaty, earthy, spicy
licorice notes. Definitely
food-friendly if a little on the
wine-geek side. Try it with
grilled lamb chops.
Pierre Sparr Extrem Riesling
2011, Alsace, France
Price: $22 | Score: 89/100
UPC: 003263530020420
Gérard Bertrand Chateau
L’Hospitalet La Reserve La
Clape 2011, Languedoc,
France
The Sparr Extrem Riesling
from 2010 seemed to be in
stores forever and as good
as it is, the listing has finally
expired and another delicious
version of this cutting-edge
Alsace Riesling has arrived. We
love the fresh, dry attack, the
honey, pear and citrus nose
that previews similar cool
steely, guava lemon flavours.
Continued success here with
smoky, meaty, chocolate,
peppery, black cherry, floral,
licorice, herb and orange
aromas. Rich, ripe, suave, juicy
palate with big plum, black
cherry, chocolate, licorice,
peppery, savoury, meaty, garrigue flavours.

This is classic Barossa from its
inviting blueberry, blackberry,
licorice, cedar scented nose
to its fresh, juicy palate marked by coffee, menthol, chocolate, spice and white pepper.
It has fine intensity and fruit
with some acidity pushing
through the warm back end.
Try this with lamb chops.
The Hobbs style is always full
on but no longer super-fat.
The attack is round with a
slightly oily texture and ripe
mango, peach, honey, butterscotch flavours flecked with
vanilla, cinnamon and baked
apple flavours form the oak.
Good acidity. Perfect with
Dungeness crab.

Singer-songwriter finds payoff in pouring honesty into her art

“
If you take a few
breaths along the
way and step away from
what you are doing, when
you come back you have
perspective.
MIKE DEVLIN
VICTORIA TIMES COLONIST
Ani DiFranco has been thinking a
lot lately about the line that separates
life and art, and how a writer and performer such as herself is expected
to navigate such tricky terrain without leaving behind some collateral
damage.
More to the point, she has been trying to determine the amount of licence
an artist has when it comes to writing personal songs about friends and
family. She understands that there
is such a thing as too much information, but that doesn’t seem to placate
DiFranco.
“Is there some kind of territory
where art for art’s sake has a right
to be?” DiFranco asked rhetorically,
down the line from her home in New
Orleans. “To express and create works
of art, and not have them be taken
literally?”
Since the arrival of her 1990 debut,
the Buffalo, N.Y., native has been
keeping it real, so to speak, calling out
those who need to face the heat. For
well over two decades, the process of
writing and recording gave DiFranco
an outlet for her ideas and iterations.
She took that opportunity and ran
with it. But the natural byproduct
of that process meant someone near
and dear always got hurt, DiFranco
lamented.
“My songs are the one place where I
won’t mince any words. One on one,
I have a lot of fear and inhibition. I
think this is why I’m so bold in my
songs. It is my one place that I have
carved out to do that, be that. (My
songs) have gotten me and lot of other
people into a lot of trouble over the
years. My guitar has this truth serum
in it, and lo the people that wander
into my canon.”
DiFranco has been vexed over
such big-picture scenarios in recent
months, motivated by two major
changes in her life — the death of folk
icon Pete Seeger, her close friend and
mentor, and the birth of her second
child, Dante, last April.
ANI DIFRANCO
SINGER
PATTI PERRET
Ani DiFranco had a second child in April. ‘I have my kids to thank for what I hope will be better records from now on.’
Seeger’s death last month hit
DiFranco hard. For as long as she has
been performing, Seeger was always
there for her, urging her to push further as an artist. He had his own
well-leaning motivations for doing
so, DiFranco said, but she never
begrudged him for it. Playing folk
music for a living is no easy task, and
Seeger saw in DiFranco someone who
could help the cause considerably.
She was more than happy to help.
Seeger and many of his hard-core contemporaries, such as Utah Phillips and
Tom Paxton, were nothing but warm
and receptive to her brazen opinions
and explicit songs.

“When I showed up shaved-headed,
army-booted and pierced in places
that people were talking about, I can’t
tell you how welcoming they were,”
she said.
“There was, of course, the sort of
stodgy folk-Nazis within the community, but the dudes who really knew
what was up looked through the dif
difference in uniform and style and said,
‘Here is somebody young doing the
work. Welcome, and bring your teenagers with you.’ It was a real embracing environment for me. I got to learn
from the masters.”
DiFranco says she hopes to pay
it forward at some point, though
longtime fans would argue she already
has. She supports a number of social
and environmental causes, and has
become one of the leaders in the fight
to restore areas of New Orleans, her
adopted hometown.
Fittingly, she titled her latest album,
¿Which Side Are You On?, in honour
of the Florence Reece song Seeger
made famous in the 1960s. DiFranco
learned the 1936 original in time to
play it at Seeger’s 90th birthday party,
which was held at Madison Square
Garden (“Lo and behold, they do
birthday parties,” she quipped).
It never left her set. When she was
culling songs for a new recording,

Newsman reported from 70 countries
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Veteran TV journalist Garrick Utley, whose far-ranging
career included anchoring duties as
well as reporting from more than 70
countries, has died of cancer at 74,
NBC said Friday.
Utley began at NBC News in 1963,
and for three decades handled a wide
variety of assignments. Early on, he
reported from Vietnam on the escalating conflict. In later years, he moderated Meet the Press.
In between, Utley anchored Weekend Today and the Sunday Nightly

it felt right to name the album in
Seeger’s honour. The album was completed while Seeger was still alive, and
the fact that Seeger was able to sing
and play banjo on the title track makes
DiFranco feel like she added another
link to the chain.
“Leave the ego out of it, I am an
inheritor, I am part of the continuum,”
she said.
The creative cycle has come full circle for DiFranco, a nine-time Grammy
Award nominee who has run her own
label, Righteous Babe Records, since
1990. Almost accidentally, she is at
the centre of an independent business
model that is being adopted by new
artists on a daily basis. As she watches
some of the bigger names in music
come around to her way of doing business, she can’t help but smile at the
irony of it all.
“It’s a good feeling to be an inspiration,” she said proudly.
DiFranco was so focused at one point
in her career, she couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Being able to put out
records when and how she wanted
was a rush, but she didn’t take enough
time to let ideas gestate. It wasn’t until
she began having kids (her daughter
was born in 2007) that she realized
her lifestyle change could offer a shot
in the arm artistically.
“At first I was resistant, like any
parent is. But as soon as I gave over
to that, it was a blessing in disguise.
Now that I put out an album every two
or three years, they are better records.
If you take a few breaths along the
way and step away from what you are
doing, when you come back you have
perspective. I have my kids to thank
for what I hope will be better records
from now on.”

“I may have been the only person at
NBC News who did every type of programming as host or anchor,” he told
The Associated Press in 1993, adding
that his versatility may have led to
the network taking him for granted.
“There’s a risk in being the utility
infielder.”
That was shortly after he had left
NBC to be the chief foreign correspondent for ABC News. He reported for
CNN from 1997 to 2002.
In recent years, he was a senior fellow and professor of broadcasting and
journalism at the State University of
New York, Oswego.
In 2000, he published a memoir,
You Should Have Been Here Yesterday: A Life Story in Television News.
Standing a lanky 6-foot-6, Utley was
known for his courtly and knowledgeable on-the-air manner. An opera
buff, for a time he hosted PBS’s Live
From the Met.
“Garrick was the first of our generation to crack the starting lineup of
NBC News in the glory days of Huntley-Brinkley,” said former Nightly
News anchor Tom Brokaw, who called
him a journalistic “man for all seasons” who was “always the complete
gentleman.”
Born in Chicago in 1939, Utley was
the son of Clifton and Frayn Utley, two
pioneering journalists on local TV as
well as other Chicago media outlets.
He is survived by his wife, Gertje, an
art historian.

Miss Daisy lacks drive
The myriad issues raised remain unexplored for the sake of a feel-good message
Driving Miss Daisy
Until March 15 | The Arts Club Island Granville Stage
Tickets and info: from $29 at artsclub.com or 604687-1644
ERIKA THORKELSON
SPECIAL TO THE SUN
For a play that spends large amounts
of its run time in a car, Driving Miss
Daisy is surprisingly lacking in forward momentum.
After she drives her new Packard
into the neighbour’s garage, Boolie
Werthan decides his cantankerous
72-year-old mother, Daisy, is getting
too old to drive. Against her wishes,
he hires Hoke Coleburn, an aging
widower, as her chauffeur. Over their
25 years together, Hoke and Daisy
develop a bond that defies age, race
and religion.
Time goes by in a series of loosely
connected vignettes, which resemble sketches more than scenes. For
the Arts Club production, the set is
in three large pieces — Daisy’s living
room on the left, Boolie’s office on
the right, and the all-important car
in the centre. Moving the characters
between the three spaces sometimes
takes longer than the scenes themselves, creating a jerky rhythm with
little sense that the story is moving
toward anything.
Nicola Lipman as Daisy and John
Campbell as Hoke are seasoned performers with a deep understanding
of their tools. Where they shine is in
the subtle transition toward old age.
Seasoned performers Nicola Lipman and John Campbell star in the Arts Club production.
Through their physicality and some
clever wardrobe tricks, both actors
appear to shrink and grow frail. By
the end you can practically feel the
delicacy of Daisy’s bones and the pain
“Chelsea Hotel is a knockout....
an all-around great time”
—Colin Thomas, The Georgia Straight
in Hoke’s slow gait. It’s great to see a
play focus on two characters with such
depth of history. It’s just a shame the
script doesn’t give them more time to
explore that history.
DAVID COOPER
In terms of accents, however, they
are less reliable. Lipman occasionally seems to bend British, although
this could be an affectation put on by
her former schoolteacher character.
Campbell goes extremely broad with
his Southern drawl. To an extent this
is written into the script, which clearly
lays out Hoke’s dialect, but Campbell’s
roller-coaster cadence feels contrived.
The play, the first in his Atlanta trilogy focusing on Jewish families in
Georgia in the turbulent early 20th
century, won Alfred Uhry a Pulitzer
Prize in 1988. A year later the bigscreen version starring Morgan Freeman as Hoke and Jessica Tandy as
Daisy won the Oscar for best picture.
But the play’s critical success was
always something of a mystery, given
that its feel-good message about
friendship comes at the expense of a
more nuanced exploration of the myriad issues it raises. Uhry’s script uses
aging, race and religion as shortcuts
to thematic gravity without ever really
digging into them. Instead, the two
characters seem to observe the real
horrors of their time from a distance.
Because the scenes are so short, they
often end before the conflict comes to
a head. More than once, Daisy and
Hoke literally drive to the door of
some weighty historical moment only
to turn away. Lipman and Campbell
do their best to fill in the blanks with
their performances, but they don’t
have much more than lovable caricatures to work with.
The year that Driving Miss Daisy
won the Oscar for best picture, it beat
Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing, a considerably more forthright and compelling exploration of race in America.
Twenty-five years later you’d think we
would be ready for something with a
little more muscle.

House of Cards production threatens move
$29!
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Netflix political drama series House of Cards is
demanding millions of dollars more
in tax credits from Maryland, or it will
go elsewhere.
The Washington Post reports that
California-based production company
Media Rights Capital has pushed back
its filming schedule for its third season to see if lawmakers boost credits for film and television projects
enough.

Last year, lawmakers boosted the
$7.5 million annual allocation to
$25 million, but they’re divided on
whether to do that again.
The show’s first two seasons were
filmed in Maryland and economic
development officials say the show
injected more than $250 million into
the state economy.
Maryland reimbursed Media Rights
Capital more than $11 million in tax
credits after the first season and that
amount could reach $15 million for
the second season.

Thomas King wins national non-fiction prize
Author of The Inconvenient Indian also shortlisted for RBC Taylor Prize
TRACY SHERLOCK
“
Many people believe
that colonialism and
racism are artifacts of the
past. Unfortunately, that is
not the case.
VANCOUVER SUN
Thomas King’s book The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of
Native People in North America won
the 2014 British Columbia National
Award for Canadian Non-Fiction on
Friday.
King was visibly shocked by the
award, but said he was honoured to
be selected.
Andrew Petter, president of Simon
Fraser University, introduced King
and said he is “truly brilliant at digging into a stereotype” and “finding the common qualities that we all
share.”
Petter said King’s book “carries an
undercurrent of seething outrage” in
its “painfully funny pages,” and called
it a “remarkable piece of research.”
King wrote The Inconvenient Indian
to give readers a critical and accessible overview of native history, in the
hope of starting a conversation about
national policies.
“A great many people believe that
colonialism and racism are artifacts
of the past. Unfortunately, that is not
the case,” King said in an interview
with The Vancouver Sun. “The negative attitudes about native people that
were formed and fostered in the 16th
and 17th centuries have, with only
minor modifications, followed us into
the 21st, and they continue to inform

social opinion and federal Indian policy in Ottawa and Washington.”
He said the issues that need to be
addressed include treaty violations,
residential schools, sovereignty and
most importantly, native land and
who owns and controls it.
The prize jury called the book a “wry,
iconoclastic, and important book that
challenges us to think differently
about both the past and the future.”
Vancouver Sun book reviewer Jacqueline Windh called it both “unsettling” and a “thoughtful analysis.”
The Inconvenient Indian is also
shortlisted for the RBC Taylor Prize,
which will be announced in March.
The other finalists were Carolyn
Abraham for The Juggler’s Children: A
Journey into Family, Legend and the
Genes that Bind Us; J.B. MacKinnon
for The Once and Future World:
Nature As It Was, As It Is, As It Could
Be; Margaret MacMillan for The War
That Ended Peace; and Graeme Smith
for The Dogs Are Eating Them Now:
Our War in Afghanistan.
“For the price of a good dinner in
town, you can buy all of these books
and enjoy them,” King said of his fellow shortlisted authors’ work.
The jury for the $40,000 prize
included Vancouver Sun columnist Daphne Bramham, Globe and
Mail books editor Jared Bland, and
Canadian publisher Anna Porter.
The prize is the only major national
book prize to originate in B.C. and is
presented by the British Columbia
Achievement Foundation, an independent foundation established by
the province.

RACHMANINOFF
TOKYO — Vandals have damaged
Anne Frank’s Diary of a Young Girl
and scores of books about the young
Holocaust victim in Tokyo public
libraries since earlier this year.
The damage was mostly in the form
of dozens of ripped pages in the books.
Librarians have counted at least 265
damaged books at 31 municipal libraries since the end of January.
Japan and Nazi Germany were allies
in the Second World War, and though
Holocaust denial has occurred in
Japan at times, the motive for damaging the Anne Frank books is unclear.
Police are investigating.
Government official Yoshihide Suga
called the vandalism “shameful” and
said Japan would not tolerate such
acts.
In the Nakano district libraries,
the vandals apparently damaged the
books while unnoticed inside reading rooms, said city official Mitsujiro
Ikeda.
“Books related to Ms. Anne Frank
are clearly targeted, and it’s happening across Tokyo,” he said. “It’s
outrageous.”
At another library, all the books that
were damaged could have been found
using the keywords “Anne Frank” in
an online database.
At least one library has moved Anne
Frank-related books behind the counter for protection, though they can still
be checked out.
Anne Frank wrote her diary over the
two years she and her family hid in a
concealed apartment in Nazi-occupied
Netherlands during the Second World
War. After her family was betrayed
and deported, she died in a German
concentration camp at age 15 in 1945.
Her father survived and published
her diary, which has become the most
widely read document to emerge from
the Holocaust.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a
U.S.-based Jewish human rights
organization, called the vandalism
a hate campaign and urged authorities to step up efforts to find those
responsible.
