shortly before noon onThursday that a thirdSeaBus, which had beenreceiving scheduledmaintenance, would be inservice for the afternoonrush hour, and that regularservice should resume byFriday.

To x the mess,ministry crews are in effectattening out the LionsGate bump by buildinga longer and smoothertransition over the bridgejoint.

The work will includewidening the cover areaby an additional six feet(about three feet on eachside), and placing morerubber surfacing over themetal plates, said SoniaLowe, the ministrys publicaffairs ofcer. We regretthat the design of thebump that was in place

earlier in the week createdissues and delays for thoseusing the bridge and weappreciate everyonespatience as we work toresolve this issue and getthe trafc moving moresmoothly, she added.

Transportation MinisterTodd Stone was nottaking calls on the matter

Thursday.City of North

Vancouver MayorDarrell Mussatto saidhe was on the receivingend of complaints fromcommuters.

I get the phone callsand Im as frustrated as thedrivers because I cant doanything about it, he said.

The bridges are alreadyat such a high capacity,all you need is one littlemishap and it just shutsthe system down.

The best solution tothe trafc, Mussatto said,would be increasing transitservice to beckon morepeople out of their cars like the three B-Lines,10-minute SeaBus serviceand an increase in regularbus service the NorthShore would have receivedif theTransLink vote hadpassed.

You reduce theamount of automobiles onthe road by two to threeper cent, you get a 10 to15 per cent reduction incongestion, he said.

Theres no light at theend of the tunnel becausethe referendum was shotdown so its going to bemore of the same foryears.

The union that representsDistrict of NorthVancouver reghtersis raising concern aboutassistant chiefs in thedepartment who haveretired and been hiredback on contract.

Double dipping col-lecting a pension and salary has been a sensitive issuewith the public in recentyears but the union says theproblem is more about suc-cession planning.

Assistant chiefs MikeCairns and Jim Bonnevilleboth retired in July andwere hired back on one-year contracts. FormerNorthVancouver City FireDepartment deputy chiefDave Burgess has also beenbrought in as an assistantchief for one year.

We just stumbled acrossit. I dont know why theykept it a big secret, saidBrian Leavold, president ofthe International Associationof Fireghters local 1183.It just seems that its kindof stiing any progressionor succession planning foranyone that might want tobe a chief.

Unionized reghtersfought long and hard toget an earlier retirement agebecause of the high risks andexposure they face in the job.

You can get a decentpension at 60 instead ofstaying until 65 because ourlifespan is that much shorterthan the average workingperson, Leavold said. Itsnothing personal againstthose guys but eventuallysomeone is going to sayWhy do reghters getto retire at 60 if theyre allcoming back and double-dipping anyhow?

The district should befocusing on training up andpromoting current membersthrough the ranks, Leavoldsaid.

Contracted retirees alsocollect from the pensionplan without contributingmore to it while on contract,which the union takes issuewith.

District of NorthVancouver CAODavidStuart said the districthas a policy to allow fordouble dipping but only forexceptional and temporarycircumstances.

In this case, thedepartment was hit with tworetirements in a short period.Management asked Cairnsto stay on to mentor hiseventual replacement in reprevention. Bonneville is incharge of the departmentsmaintenance section, whichcould be going throughstructural changes in thenear future and may needcontinuity, Stuart said.

What were really doingis trying to ensure we havethe bench strength that weneed in the interim periodwhile we train or bringpeople up and hopefullywithin the year, well haveall those positions lled ona regular, full-time basis,Stuart said.

Complicating matters,the assistant chief positionshave been difcult to ll, headded. One of the unionmembers who applied forthe job actually decided aftera very short time he didntwant to stay as an assistantchief so all of a sudden, wehad two vacancies, Stuartsaid. Were in the processof lling those vacancies andwe are looking at internalcandidates.

Assistant chiefs havesignicantly more responsi-bility but a less exible workschedule without a lot ofincrease in pay, Stuart said.As for the costs, double dip-ping actually saves taxpay-ers money as the contractsalaries are a lower cost thanfull-time ones without ben-ets, Stuart said. The factthat someone is collecting apension for which they andtheir employer contributedto, whether it was us orsomebody else, is quite im-material to be quite frank.

The districts engineeringdepartment has one or twocases of retirees remainingon contract, Stuart said.

District re chiefVictorPenman did not respondto request for comment byNorth Shore News deadline.

distress call from thepilot and the plane hadno cockpit voice or datarecording systems.

North Shore Rescuevolunteers found thewreckage near ColiseumMountain later thatevening and helped recoverthe bodies the next day.

The coroner carries outtoxicology tests on all pilotsas a matter of course.Thecoroner decided to releasethe information this weekas rumours about the crashwere beginning to spread.

The crash remainsunder investigation bytheTransportation SafetyBoard.The nal report,

including recommendationsfor how such accidents canbe avoided in the future is

still several months fromcompletion.

At the time,

investigators said theplane plummeted from analtitude of 2,400 metresto about 900 metres the height at which thewreckage was found inless than 20 seconds.

What we know isthat the aircraft brokeapart in-ight.Thatdidnt necessarily indicatemechanical problems. Itcertainly could be one ofthe reasons for it, but weknow that the aircraft haddescended very rapidly andthe break-up is consistentwith an aircraft that wasdescending quite rapidly,Yearwood said.

Though he did not havean exact number,Yearwoodsaid plane crashes where

intoxication is a factor arerare.

Pilots are expectedto ground themselves ifthey are unt to y in anyway,Yearwood said.Thatcould be due to healthissues, stress or any level ofintoxication. Unofcially,pilots like to say eighthours, bottle to throttle.

Thats a common rule,but it doesnt mean that ifyou give it eight hours andyoure still intoxicated, youcan go ying,Yearwoodsaid.

Carson Air has not yetresponded to a request forcomment.The companyhas no previous crashes orinvestigations.

Kispiox Festival

Car freeSaturday marks Car Free Day inthe City of NorthVancouver withLonsdale Avenue below FourthStreet blocked off for a street festival.After what many around here are

considering the worst trafc hell weveseen on the North Shore in years, an eventpromising no cars is not a moment toosoon.We recommend everyone hop on a bus,

bicycle, dog sled, horse or y board andhead down.Its a very liberating experience to walk

up the middle of the street where normallyyoud be squished like a grape.The eventpromises food, entertainment, vendors anda sense of community you simply cantget from the connes of your home (orvehicle).But Car Free Day isnt just an

opportunity to have the most fun youcan legally have on Lonsdale. Its original

purpose is to challenge us to thinkabout the relationship we have with theautomobile.For much of the last hundred years,

our cities and, by extension, our collectivelifestyle, has been planned around thecar. Petroleum-based fuel was cheap andplentiful. Climate change was unheardof and the solution to trafc was alwaysto build more lanes for more cars.Unfortunately, were now living with theconsequences of that thinking.We arent so nave any more.With theTransLink plebiscite kiboshed,

weve collectively missed the bus onhelping ourselves out of this mess inthe short term but its never too lateto start thinking about the future (andhave a little fun while doing it). After thetransportation hell we experienced thisweek, that should be easy.See you Saturday.

Dear Editor:After reading City Residents to Ponder Gas

PumpWarning Labels on page A11 of the July24 North Shore News, I was left aghast.Theimplication of putting endangered species labelson gas pumps, of course, is that motorizedvehicle users will feel guilty and drive theirvehicles less. Good idea, except that much of thegreenhouse gas emission challenge in the LowerMainland lies elsewhere.

Construction, as is rampant in our lovelycorner of the world, is a more signicantcontributor here to GHG emissions than ispersonal motorized vehicle use, when theanalysis is done properly. At every stage of the

process involved to put up a new building,whether a multi-thousand-square-foot residentialmonstrosity, a steel-and-glass replica of themany dozens of other skyscrapers already juttingtoward the Pacic coast sky, or massive stripmalls on otherwise pristine animal habitats, fossilfuels in vast amounts are being burned. Logging,the processing of wood, making concrete, thetransportation of wood, concrete and otherbuilding materials by gas/diesel guzzlingconstruction trucks to the construction sites,not to mention the transportation of workers tothese sites, all produce incredible amounts ofGHG emissions.

If were going to put futile stickers on

gas pumps, maybe we should rst seriouslyconsider how mass prot-driven constructionis destroying our local environment, andultimately adversely affecting endangeredspecies everywhere.Think, for example, aboutthe trees being torn down on the slopes ofCypress Mountain to make room for morehouses, where motorized vehicles need to driveuphill (thus burning even more gasoline) tobring their residents home animal habitatswere destroyed when colonies of houses startedarriving here. Hypocrisy has never led society toa good place.Walter CichaWestVancouver

Gas pump stickers a futile exerciseDear Editor:

Regarding the editorialclaim that 500 people pre-vented from jumping off SanFranciscos Golden GateBridge had gone on to leadnormal lives (Editors noteon the letterTunnelVisionon Bridge Barriers,Aug. 16Mailbox):

Since the Golden Gatewas built in 1937, the unof-cial count of suicide jump-ers is now more than 1,600people.They stopped the of-cial count in 1995 when thenumber reached 997.TheGolden Gate Bridge Districtboard does have a new sui-cide prevention plan in place,but they have chosen to gowith a $76-million stainlesssteel net placed below thebridge deck instead of anunsightly fence.John KendrickNorthVancouver

Dear Editor:Well, well, hard to believe. One can see in

the streets of NorthVancouver many changeslately. Some benecial, some not so.

At the intersection of Highland Boulevardand Belmont Avenue, despite the fact thatsoon Capilano trafc will be for many monthsredirected to Highland Boulevard, there aretwo newly installed curb extensions on each

end of a wide white zebra crosswalk and twobig signs hung above it.The right, northwardlane on Highland Boulevard is directed intothe east side of Belmont.

I did learn from the transportationengineering department that all this is done(maybe on trial basis) for better pedestriansafety and according toTAC regulations;however, none of them were mentioned. But,

anyone can imagine the problem in that place,where two lanes on each side of HighlandBoulevard are suddenly changed to one lanein each direction. Unnecessary problems willbe extreme at rush hours, when trafc onHighland Boulevard will increase substantiallywith the Capilano detour.That change into one

Golden Gategoes for the net

Edgemont curb bump-outs ill-timed with Cap roadwork

See Are page 10



So Im sitting in theCentre of the Universe outside Delanys atthe corner of Edgemontand Highland Boulevard on a sunny day, thinkingabout government.

Actually, Im thinkingabout governments plural,because once you startcounting, you realize thereare a lot of them.

First, we have two NorthVancouvers. Im not surewhy most places arehappy with one municipalgovernment, but for somereason, were blessed withtwo.

Then theresWestVancouver. I live onCapilano Road and sharethe lineup for the LionsGate Bridge with the gooddrivers ofWestVancouver.And, asWestVancouveris closer than the City ofNorthVan, I nd myselfusing your mall, your beach,your seawall, etc.

Of course, these areonly junior jurisdictions.Weneed senior governmentsinVictoria and Ottawa,not to mention Metro,wherever that is.Metrois about to make my life

interesting for the next yearor so as it digs up Cap Road(recently paved by a juniorjurisdiction) to replace thewater main.

How many is that sofar? Six?Well, theres more.I cross the bridge everyday to go to my ofce inVancouver, which has itsown government.Andwhenever I run or cyclein Stanley Park, I note itslittle government at work,apparently determined totransform the park into agoose farm, consideringthe enormous number ofCanada Geese gleefullyfouling the landscape.

And lets not forget the

Squamish Nation, whichgoverns that blinding sign atthe entrance to the bridge,among other things.

Thats eight, right?Then theresTransLink,

which seems to be in chargeof transit, although theother eight also have lots tosay about it, except when itcomes time to pay the bill.

Thats nine!This isgetting depressing, or atleast burdensome. Someone,for example, has to pay forall this governing and thatsomeone is me and you.

According to the FraserInstitute, that inty guardianof the right, government,accounts for $44 out ofevery $100 that we earn.June 6 isTax Freedom Day,the day we stop workingfor RichardWalton, DarrellMussatto,Michael Smith,Christie Clark and StephenHarper and their vastminions.

So if it takes nearlyhalf a years salary to keepthese governments up andrunning, one wonders if wereally need them all. Couldwe do with just eight? Orseven? Or, gasp, six?

If youve been following

the debate over the potentialamalgamation of the twoNorthVancouvers, whichwould get it down to a niceeven eight, youll see theproblem.

Take the dispute betweenthe district and the city overshared policing. Please.Theyve been squabblingover the cost and the level ofservice ever since way back.The city says the districtowes the city more than amillion bucks for the RCMPwhile the district complainsthat it pays the lions share

of the fees while the citygets the lions share of theservices.

You can just imaginehow well full amalgamationwould go.

It doesnt seem to matterthat theres only one Surreygovernment for more thanhalf a million people, whilethe population of the entireNorth Shore is about175,000 and counting.

Nope, we need threelocal governments, eventhough we have less thanone-third the population.

Obviously, this is notSurrey.This is a specialplace.

For example, it containswithin its borders the Centreof the Universe, the cornerof Edgemont and Highland.

Come to think of it,maybe nine governmentsarent enough.

Where I Stand onKinderMorganIf you were frustrated trying to gureout NDP leader Thomas Mulcairsposition on the Kinder Morgan oilpipeline project during the August6th leaders debate, you were notalone. His verbal gymnastics were asslippery as diluted bitumen on a sea-soaked log.

With a projected seven-fold increasein tanker ship trafc along NorthVancouvers shores should thisproject be approved, our communitydeserves a clear explanation from thecandidates seeking your support inthis federal election of their positionon this critical issue.

Here is mine.

The current National Energy Boardregulatory approval process haslost the trust of Canadians.A new, independent, evidence-basedprocess must be established. TheKinder Morgan expansion projectmust satisfy this new rigourousreview that its environmental andsocial impacts can be effectivelyaddressed. If they cannot be,the project should not proceed.

Why is anewprocess required?The National Energy Board processStephen Harper implemented in 2012has been seriously compromised andis tilted toward project proponents.Canadians have lost faith in thecredibility of that process and willbe hard-pressed to trust any answerscoming from it.

Canadians are mistrustful of currentenvironmental review processesbecause Mr. Harper has politicizedthe National Energy Board, guttedenvironmental regulations, andsilenced scientists.

By acting as a cheerleader for projectproponents, rather than as a fair-minded arbiter of the public interest,Stephen Harper has hurt both oureconomy and our environment.

Comprehensive, timely and fairA Liberal government will bring in anew, comprehensive, timely and fairprocess that restores robust oversight,ensures decisions are evidence-basedand allows the public to meaningfullyparticipate.

Regarding Kinder Morgan, we willbe respectful of the investment theproponent has made to date on theirapplication and work towards atimely nal decision underthe new review process.

By restoring public condence, wecan ensure good projects thosewhere environmental and socialimpacts can be effectively managed -proceed in a timely manner and thatprojects not in the public interest arerejected after a fair hearing.

A signicant portion of oureconomy is tied to exports of naturalresources. We need to develop safeand environmentally sound ways totransport our products to market.

That requires strengthening ourenvironmental laws and reviewprocesses to ensure Canadians havecondence that if and when a projectproceeds, it does so only after athorough and transparent review.

It also means taking real action onthe critical issue of climate change.

We need to hit the reset button.We need Real Change.

Black bear has aspaday inBlueridge

MARIA [email protected]

Blueridge coupleTonyand Denise Diering hadan unexpected guest fordinner in their backyardMonday evening a full-grown black bear thatdecided to take a dip intheir swimming pool.

We were just about tosit outside on the deck, andI looked and the bear was atthe pool, recalled Denise, ofthe burly visitor that brokedown a fence around 6p.m. to get into the yard onLampman Place.

The couple sat there andtook in the wildlife showsafely from the balconyabove the pool. And we justwatched him (the bear) havea swim.He just sat there for10 minutes doing his nails.And then he just hopped upand went in the hot tub,said Denise.

Tony took out his iPhoneand captured the experience,while Denise snapped somepictures with her camera.

I mean, how often doyou have a bear sitting inyour yard making himself athome? questioned Denise.

This isnt the rst timea bear has frolicked in theDierings yard.Denisesuspects its the same animalthat helped itself to somebird feed about a month ago.

At the same time, thecouple isnt concerned thebear will cause them anyharm and are worried for itswelfare.

I dont want anythingbad to happen to thatbear, said Denise, adding,she would never call aconservation ofcer.

The Dierings pool guesthas caught some global

attention, after they sentthe video to aVancouverTV station.Americanbroadcaster NBC as wellas major Canadian mediaoutlets including theTorontoStar have picked up the story.

Im amazed, its just abear having a swim, saidDenise of Blueridge being inthe spotlight this week.

As for the damage thebear left in its wake, the fenceis getting xed this week andthe Dierings will be throwingsome extra chlorine in thepool.

Its believed the Blueridgebear is the same one that hasbeen roaming the Seymourarea for the past threesummers, said North ShoreBlack Bear Society educationco-ordinator ChristineMiller.

And the bear is notdoing anything bad, its justnding a lot of bird feeders,saidMiller.

Bird feeders are an easyfood source and providebears the same amount ofcalories as a whole day ofberry foraging.

Miller is advising thosepeople who want to attractbirds and not largewildlife to only put outsmall portions of bird feedand monitor it.

The good news is NorthShore residents are getting

the message about managingtheir garbage and greenwaste so as to not attractwildlife such as bears, reportsMiller.

Through education andbylaw enforcement thethree local municipalitieshave come a long way since1999 when 39 nuisancebears were destroyed on theNorth Shore.Three bearswere killed here last year,two of which were inWestVancouver, the other inNorthVancouver district.

A British Propertiesfamily,meanwhile, returnedhome from vacationWednesday morning tond a window smashed ontheir vehicle and the interiorscratched up.The culprit?A curious black bear thatwas interested in somethinginside the vehicle parked inthe 500-block of HaddenDrive.

There was food that wasleft inside the vehicle andthe windows were cracked,saidWestVancouver PoliceDepartment spokespersonConst. JeffWood.It basicallysmashed the window, gainedentry to the vehicle andscratched it up.

People living on theeast side of Belmont fromHighland Boulevard willabsorb a new load oftrafc.The cars returningback to HighlandBoulevard will have tostop to get back in the laneand make a ride up northlonger.

I believe that NorthVancouver pedestrians arenot hens and drivers notblind; the existing well-marked crosswalk on theroadway as well as thosetwo big signs above it aresatisfactory for safety.

Or will there be,perhaps, in the near futurea paid guide directingall trafc (cars andpedestrians) at this place?

Just what is it with theB.C. government whenit comes to expensivecomputer problems?

The latest sorry chapterin this seemingly never-ending story was recentlyuncovered by CarolBellringer, B.C.s cracknew independent auditor-general.

And this one is a doozy:a computer system thatis ve years late, 420per cent over budgetand is so inefcient andpossibly even outdatedthat it requires an extra$14 million in annualmaintenance.

Bellringer (isntthat a good name for awatchdog?) and her teamaudited the Panoramacomputer system anduncovered a horror-showof cost overruns and errors.As well, they cited a lackof leadership within theministry and a defensivemindset that shuts outcriticism.

Operated within thehealth ministry, Panoramais supposed to manageinfectious diseases acrossthe country.The idea for

it arose after the SARSepidemic in 2003 thatkilled 44 people.

B.C.s stellar reputationwhen it came to publichealth care meant itwas chosen to lead theprograms implementation.Five years after it began,the implementation is stillnot complete and B.C.taxpayers are on the hookso far for $113 million andthat gure continues torise.

Perhaps even morealarming is the fact thatBellringer discovered thatwhen the IT company inquestion (IBM) failed todeliver on the terms of its

original contract, it wasrenegotiated to transfer anynancial risk from IBMonto taxpayers.

But this epiccomputer fail is far fromunusual within the B.C.government.

There were hugestartup problems with theelectronic health initiative(although to be fair,this happened in otherprovinces as well, notablyOntario) and there havebeen serious problemswith software in the K-12education system.

And this past spring,Bellringer discoveredthe problem-plaguedIntegrated CaseManagement computersystem, which is supposedto help social workersbetter serve vulnerablechildren and adults,was never completelyimplemented.

The ICM systemwas discovered to havenumerous bugs almostsince its inception in 2012.At one point last year, theentire system kept crashingand became a politicalembarrassment for the

government.The provinces child

and youth watchdog, MaryEllenTurpel-Lafond,said the systems manyproblems were putting thesafety of children at seriousrisk. And then it waslearned the governmentwas spending about amillion dollars a year introuble-shooting for thebeleaguered system andthose costs are ongoing.

This is starting tobecome a very expensivekind of problem, becausethe government likegovernments everywhere is spending more andmore money every dayon computer systemspurchased from various ITcompanies.

In the 1990s, total ITcosts were less than $50million a year.Theyveincreased almost tenfoldsince then and now arenearing a half-billiondollars a year.

So when a problemdevelops with a particularcomputer system, the costscan be enormous becausethe government itself is agigantic operation and its

computer users are vast innumber.

No one has come upwith the reason why thesecomputer problems arehappening with mountingregularity.

But I suspect a bigfactor may be that thegovernment doesnt havethe same resources whenit comes to assessing ITprograms as the companiesthat are offering themfor sale. Im sure theseIT rms are promisingefcient, seamlessprograms that will solveall kinds of problems butit may be there are fewproperly trained people ingovernment to properlyassess those promises.

In any event, you canbet there will be moreexpensive computer failswithin government in thefuture. And you can betthat Bellringer who hasquickly established herselfas one of the sharpestB.C. auditor-generals ever will be all over them.

FILM

WackyCanadian sci-fiflickcreates its ownstrangevibe Bang Bang Baby.Written and directedby Jeffrey St. Jules.Starring Jane Levy,Justin Chatwin andPeter Stormare.Rating: 8 (out of 10)

JULIE CRAWFORDContributingWriter

Mutants, musicalnumbers and a roadkillbeaver supper: welcometo the wacky worldof Nova Scotia-bornlmmaker Jeffrey St.Jules.

After developing thelm through the CannesFilm Festival Residenceprogram and playing torave reviews on the festivalcircuit (picking up theClaude Jutra award at theCanadian Screen Awards)St. Juless unique brandof Canadian weirdness isopening nationwide today.

Not much is happeningin Lonely Arms, Canada,in the 1960s. Stepphy(Evil Deads Jane Levy) isdesperate to ee her smalltown; she spends her daysmooning over television

singing sensation BobbyShore (Justin Chatwin,Shameless) and workingin her dads auto shop.Stepphy believes she couldbe a vocal star too, if onlyshe had the pluck to leaveher needy, alcoholic father(Peter Stormare) and headsouth of the border, wherereal dreams are made.

Dreams: they never docome true, best not to haveem, says local farmer/moonshiner Gord (BoydBanks) whose own fantasyof becoming a hand modelwere dashed as a young

man in NewYork City.Stepphy has no friends andfew options, save settlingdown with Fabian (DavidReale, Suits) the earnestbut creepy manager ofthe towns chemical plant,which dominates the town.

But fate intervenes,as it always does, andBobby Shore and hisperpetually piqued agentHelmut (Kristian Bruun)nd themselves in Cana-duh instead of Kansas,thanks to a wrong turn.

THEATRE

Musical combats gender stereotypes

OrthrosTheatreCompany presents AModern FairyTale untilAug. 30 atMetroTheatre,1370 SWMarine Dr.,Vancouver.Tickets:$20, available online atmetrotheatre.com or bycalling 604-266-7191.

CHRISTINE [email protected]

Once upon a time, in theland of KingdomTown,there was a same-sexcouple planning a stellarparty, a cat demandingequal rights for animals,and a gender-uid wolf inlove with a human.

If this story doesnt soundlike its from the pages of aBrothers Grimm anthology,well, its not. OrthosTheatreCompanys newmusicalparody,AModern FairyTale, takes inspiration from

age-old folklore, fairy talesand Disney classics, butthe production is anythingbut traditional.Written anddirected by Lisa Simon, theshow casts familiar storybookcharacters in a progressive,21st-century light.

It takes all of thesecharacters and really putsthem in a modern setting,specically with an eyetowards an understandingand acceptance of theLGBTQ community, saysDeep Cove resident KathrynFerguson, who plays Roseand Bo Peep. In additionto addressing sexual andgender identity,AModernFairyTale also tackles issuessurrounding race andconsent.

That sounds really heavy,but its done in a whimsicalway with an attention tothe sensitivity of individualneeds and theres a sense

of fun and a sense of play,says Ferguson, who has longbeen active in North Shorecommunity theatre.

The story begins as themain character,Wolf, whoidenties as neither femalenor male, is experiencingrelationship troubles.

Wolf is in love with Red,of Little Red Riding Hood,butWolf, being an animal,and Red, being a human,theyre not supposed to betogether, Ferguson says.Complicating the matterfurther, Reds co-dependentgrandmother and heroverbearing ex-boyfriend,Hunter, are both dead seton keeping the inter-speciescouple apart.

Meanwhile in KingdomTown,Cinder (a maleversion of Cinderella) and hispartner, Prince Chuck, areplanning a last-minute ballat the royal palace;Alice andHatter are caught up in anintense love-hate relationship;and Rose is caring for herbeloved sister, Snow (basedon SnowWhite), who hasinexplicably fallen into acatatonic state.

And then theres awhole other motley crew ofcharacters, Ferguson says.

Among them is Bootsthe Cat, played by LowerLonsdale resident BeverlyRapley. Fed up with beingdiscriminated against,Boots rallies the animals ofKingdomTown to start arevolution.

Theres this big racialdivide between human fairy

tale creatures and non-human fairy tale creatures,Rapley explains. Its harderfor us to get jobs, weretreated as second-classcitizens, we dont have thesame rights as humans.

Rapley, who also serves asassistant director, comparesthe style of humour inA

Modern FairyTale to theShrekmovie series.Audiencemembers can expect pop-culture jokes, contemporarydance routines and rock andpop music throughout.

It is a musical parody, soits familiar songs but withlyrics that tell the story ofthe fairy tale, Rapley says.

They are very, very catchysongs.

One of the numbers re-imaginesTaylor Swifts Weare Never Ever Getting BackTogetherwhile Crazy onYou by Heart sets the scenefor a dance-off competition.

Rapley has been involvedwith Bowen IslandsTir-na-nOgTheatre Schoolproductions since she was sixyears old and rst met LisaSimons when the two wereboth studying archaeologyat SFU.The pair wouldlisten to Disney soundtrackswhile working in the bonelab.When Rapley heard thatSimons had written a fairytale-inspired script, she wasimmediately intrigued by theconcept and read for a part.

Ferguson, a high schoolteacher inMaple Ridge whoruns a gay-straight allianceclub, was drawn to theLGBTQ representation inAModern FairyTale.

As teachers, wereconstantly combating genderstereotypes and heres a fun,but intelligent explorationof this in a musical theatreform.Thats what spoke tome, she says.

She hopes audiencescome away with a newunderstanding of what itmeans to live happily everafter.

Happily ever afterdoesnt look one specicway for everyone.Happilyever after can encompassall kinds of love, and shouldencompass all kinds of love,Ferguson says.

LOOK YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to FASHION & STYLEMobile boutique rolls into town

Friends forgostorefront forfour wheelsCHRISTINE [email protected]

The Lower Mainland foodtruck scene is sizzlingwith a smorgasbordof roving restaurantsserving up quick andtasty meals at thecurbside.

The popularity of thesetravelling eateries gotentrepreneurs KarolinaJasinski and Kora Pridythinking: could fashiontrucks enjoy the samesuccess?

The Port Coquitlamfriends run an onlineclothing and home dcorstore called Ardillas Unitedand this summer, theyrepioneering a new wayto shop. In July, ArdillasUnited rolled out a mobileboutique that has beenparking at fairs and festivalsacross MetroVancouver,inviting shoppers inside tobrowse and buy. Jasinskiand Pridy had heard ofmobile clothing shops inthe U.S., but they hadntseen any local examples.

I realized that no onehere was doing it, Pridysays.

In May, the pairpurchased a 26-foot-longformer Doritos truck for$3,500. It had no engineand needed some seriouselbow grease, but veweeks later, and withplenty of help from theirhusbands and friends, theyhad themselves a miniaturestore on wheels that theyaffectionately namedBeastie.

We wanted it to bereally warm and cozy, butalso kind of bright and asopen as possible, Pridysays.

Inside the cargo areais a 130-square-foot retailspace, complete with vinylwood oors, ambientlighting, a curtained ttingroom and the capacity todisplay more than 300

items, including jewelry,scarves, clothing and homedcor.The truck also hasa point-of-sale system socustomers can pay withplastic.

Everything is reallycompact, but we manageto t pretty much all of ourstock into that little space,Pridy says.

The Ardillas United

truck shop made its rstpublic appearance at theKhatsahlano Street Partyon July 11 and has sincebeen to the Maple RidgeCaribbean Festival and the12th Street Music Festivalin NewWestminster. Itmakes its North Shoredebut on Saturday, Aug.22 at Car Free Day inLower Lonsdale.The

following Saturday, Aug. 29it will ride the ferry fromHorseshoe Bay to BowenIsland for Bowfest.

The four-wheeled retailstore allows Jasinski andPridy to show off theirmerchandise without thehigh overheads associatedwith a bricks-and-mortar

folk, because sonically, itsreecting the theme of thesongs.

Another single she hasrecently put out is ToGetToThis Gate, a songshe says speaks about herown life and the process ofbecoming a musical artist.

That song is aboutthe creative process or itcould be about a process ofrecovery or it could be aboutthe process of building abusiness, all different things.Sort of its about a processthat takes a really long time,she says.

Its about acknowledgingheritage and all the peoplethat are a part of how youget to a place that youvebeen wanting to go andsort of being on the edge ofsomething new and openingup yourself to recognize howmany things are a part of it.

ForMcDaniel, a part of itis about her own heritage andthe musical roots entwinedabout her immediate family.

For me its partly about

my family heritage . . . anddeciding to take steps to takemusic more seriously andpursue a career in music,where as my background isactually visual arts.That songis personally speaking to thatbut I hope for it to be sortof a message of release foranyone, to just keep takingsteps forward and have morevision for the future becauseof realizing the heritage thatthey have behind them.
