Boaters fight to keep Ambleside ramp Closing Argyle a priority, West Van council says

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Recreational boaters are worried they’ll be left on dry land if the District of West Vancouver follows through on its Ambleside waterfront concept plan.

The plan includes a ban of motorized boats from the launch as Argyle Avenue closes to become part of the Spirit Trail. The ramp would remain open to the Hollyburn Sailing Club and to the public for non-motorized vessels.

But that will shut out recreational anglers and outboard enthusiast who have been using Ambleside for water access for generations, said Andrew Kennett.

“I think everybody has the right to have access to the water,” he said.

The only other public access on the North Shore is in Cates Park, which is often at capacity, Kennett said. There are private ramps in Horseshoe Bay and at Sunset Marina, about 20 kilometres away.

And launching their boats in Vancouver could prove unsafe, according to Phil Grassi, another longtime ramp user.

“Now these smaller boats are going to be taking more of a risk by going through the inner harbour with tanker traffic. Port (of Vancouver) is not going to be happy about that,” Grassi said. “West Vancouver has

North Van man charged in Lonsdale gropings BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

A North Vancouver man has been arrested for a series of alleged gropings that happened in Central Lonsdale and downtown Vancouver

Vaughan Englot, 32, has been charged with three counts of sexual assault, the Lower Mainland RCMP announced in a joint press conference Wednesday morning. Englot is one of six males, including a

youth, who are charged in connection with a spate of assaults in Vancouver, North Vancouver and Burnaby, and on the University of British Columbia endowment lands in the first three months of the year.

NV firm keeps infrared eye on ‘the beast’ Harbourside business tracks Alberta wildfire hot spots BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

A North Vancouverbased consulting firm has had a hand in fighting the Fort McMurray wildfire, providing the Alberta government with key intel on the fire’s movements.

Hatfield Consultants has been taking infrared satellite images from Denver company DigitalGlobe and making them workable for the Alberta Wildfire Branch.

The Harbourside Drive firm also has an office in Fort McMurray. All of the company’s employees were safely evacuated but the blaze some have dubbed “the beast” caught even them off guard.

“They weren’t even thinking about this little puff of smoke that was going on to the southwest. Next thing you know, there were evacuation orders,” said Jeff Clark, Hatfield’s geomatics manager. “It was all fast and furious and the next thing you know, you’ve got (10) per cent of Fort Mac burned to the ground.”

That percentage could have been higher had it not been for the satellite images firefighters used, which depict the infrared spectrum not visible to human eyes.

Before and after shots of Fort McMurray. The infrared image on the right depicts burnt areas in dark blue. IMAGES SUPPLIED COPYRIGHT OF DIGITALGLOBE (2016) “They’ll try to figure out where the fire has been and where they think it’s going to go. They’ll also assess what’s in the line of fire,” Clark said. “You could have a whole fire burning with billowing smoke but you can see through that and you can actually see the hot

spots. … That’s important for them.”

Images from May 5 provided to the North Shore News depict healthy vegetation in pink while burned out areas are in a dark blue.

“If you look down, where it says Beacon Hill, that’s one of the hardest hit

neighbourhoods. With that one, you can tell it looks like it’s just been run through.

There’s no red left in it. That place was literally burned,” Clark said.

Meanwhile, the North Shore community is banding together to help the fire’s victims. Starting at 10 a.m.

Saturday, neighbours on Lynn Valley’s Kilmarnock Crescent will hold a giant garage sale and lemonade stand with all proceeds to the Canadian Red Cross’ Alberta Fires Appeal.

North Vancouver oral surgeon Dr. Brad Forster is donating all of his fees from

three days of practice to the Red Cross.

And West Vancouver barber and soccer coach Michel Ibrahim is collecting soccer and hockey jerseys to donate to Fort Mac sports teams when things have returned to normal later in the summer.

Glacier Media donates $50K to Fort McMurray fire relief The JuneWarren-Nickle’s Energy Group and its parent company, Glacier Media, publisher of the North Shore News, are donating $50,000 toward Red Cross efforts in Fort McMurray.

The donation is also on behalf of other individual Glacier business units, which will undertake their own awareness and fundraising efforts to help the city and its residents rebuild their community and their lives,

said Bill Whitelaw, JWN president and Glacier executive vice-president.

Glacier, as one of Canada’s leading media and information services companies, has also created an integrated crowdfunding campaign, with all proceeds going to Red Cross efforts, at fundaid.ca/fortmac.

Glacier is deeply involved in communities across Western Canada with community newspapers and business information services, noted Tim Shoults, Glacier’s

vice-president of content and audience development.

“This way, we can rally our readers, our customers and our communities to get behind the Red Cross efforts in a way that allows contributions of all sizes,” explained Shoults.

From an energy perspective, it’s important for Canadians from coast to coast to have a sense beyond the headlines of how important Fort McMurray is to the overall Canadian economy, Whitelaw said.

“It’s just not an Alberta dynamic ... all Canadians need to step up and help get this engine running on all cylinders again, putting people, companies and their welfare front and centre,” said Whitelaw.

“Canada’s oilsands sector is a key part of our energy practice at JWN ...we know these companies and these communities well. Like all other organizations that have stepped up with support, we want these folks to know we have their back.”

JWN produces the Oilsands Review and Oilsands Navigator as part of a broad portfolio of oilsands products and services.

“As with our industry association partners such as the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers and Petroleum Services Association of Canada, we’re putting our contribution toward the Red Cross, to ensure the dollars we donate get amplified through provincial and federal contributions,”

he added.

Glacier’s other business practices in mining, agriculture, environmental services and community media are also stepping up to face the challenges Fort McMurray and the area faces in the coming weeks and months in terms of awareness, explained Whitelaw.

“In one way or another, all of our businesses touch Fort McMurray and Wood Buffalo.

Besting the fire was just the first among many challenges still to come.”

West Van penny stock promoter pleads guilty Gregg Mulholland facing up to 20 years in prison DARRYL GREER/BUSINESS IN VANCOUVER Contributing writer

The U.S. Department of Justice in Brooklyn announced Monday that stock promoter Gregg Mulholland pleaded guilty to money laundering conspiracy and securities fraud charges related to the manipulation of the stocks of more than 40 publicly traded firms, which generated more than US$250 million in illicit profits.

Mulholland, 46, is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada who was awaiting trial in custody after his arrest in Phoenix, Arizona, in June 2015.

As part of his plea bargain, Mulholland agreed to forfeit a private jet, a Range Rover, two properties in British Columbia and funds and securities “on deposit at more than a dozen bank and brokerage accounts,” according to a statement issued from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York.

“Mulholland’s staggering fraud perpetrated on the investing public was built on an elaborate offshore shell game, which included his secret ownership of an offshore brokerage firm,” stated U.S. Attorney Robert Capers in

the release.

Mulholland’s fraud scheme between 2010 and 2014 involved an elaborate and wide-ranging network of shell companies and nominees used to conceal ownership in publicly traded firms. The “pump and dump” schemes allowed Mulholland and others to fraudulently manipulate stock prices, in one instance sending the value of a company traded on the poorly-regulated OTC Bulletin Board called CYNK Technology Corp. above US$4 billion. Mulholland was caught on wiretaps admitting ownership of CYNKs free trading shares, which enabled him and his co-conspirators to inflate the firm’s stock price.

“Mulholland used the services of a U.S.-based lawyer to launder the more than US$250 million generated through his stock manipulation of CYNK and other U.S. companies – directing the fraud proceeds to five law firm accounts and transmitting them back to members of the Mulholland Group and its co-conspirators,” the release states.

“These concealment schemes also enabled Mulholland to evade reporting requirements to the IRS.” The guilty plea comes just a week after lawyers for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Mulholland’s wife were in B.C. Supreme Court in connection with a lawsuit over properties bought with the ill-gotten gains in West Vancouver and

Whistler. Mulholland’s wife Delia, as a director for Vision Crest Consulting Group Ltd., claimed she was suffering hardship and inconvenience due to the SEC’s lawsuit, which prevented her from selling a property in Whistler.

The SEC’s lawyer Michael Schalke and Mulholland’s lawyer Robert Millar argued for several hours over the minutiae of fraudulent conveyance law in front of B.C. Supreme Court Justice Gordon Funt.

Schalke detailed the suspicious nature of property transactions involving the Mulhollands and Vision Crest.

He told the court there was a “solar system of Vision Crest entities” incorporated in several jurisdictions as part of an effort to defraud or hinder the SEC’s attempts to collect on a debt from an earlier pumpand-dump scheme helmed by Mulholland.

Justice Funt eventually lifted the certificate of pending litigation from the Whistler property, allowing the sale, but ordered that the proceeds go toward the mortgage holder and the remainder be held by Millar’s firm, Fasken Martineau DuMoulin, which also told the court that Delia Mulholland and Vision Crest owed the firm more than $1.8 million.

Both Millar and Schalke did not respond to requests for comment about the guilty plea and its implications on the B.C. Supreme Court action.

Mulholland faces up to 20 years in prison.

the use of the ramp for motorized vehicles, that would conflict with other elements of the plan,” she said “It is true there was lots and lots of public feedback and there was support from the public for maintaining it for motorized vehicles but there was more support for extending the Spirit Trail and foreshore path through the area.”

The district “understands and empathizes” with the power boaters, Powers said noting the district’s director of planning learned to fish in the water off Ambleside from a long-gone boat launch under the Lions Gate Bridge.

In the early morning of Jan. 19, police say a man grabbed a woman’s buttocks as she walked east along the 100-block of East 15th Street.

In both cases the subject fled.

North Vancouver RCMP urged caution, in their warning, saying it’s possible the incidents were related.

The RCMP revealed Tuesday there was one other incident in Vancouver’s West End on Jan. 15 for which Englot is also now charged with sexual assault but the police did not provide any details about the allegations.

Five other men are also facing charges for a host of assaults in overlapping jurisdictions around the Lower Mainland. Making the arrests came from a highly

co-ordinated investigation among local forces, said police.

“Police employed a variety of investigative techniques, many quite advanced, including crime analysis within our agencies as well as the behavioural sciences units within the RCMP to analyze years’ worth of data, offences and offenders to narrow down our search,” said Vancouver Police Department Supt.

Mike Porteous.

Key to making the arrests was having the victims come forward, something the police agencies urged other potential victims to do.

“My message to women who may have been victimized and haven’t stepped forward is we would encourage you to come forward. I think it’s very important for us to get these individuals off the street,” said RCMP Chief Supt. Jodie Boudreau.

“We have the support for you.”

indicated that we are willing to work with the boaters in the process to find another boat ramp for motorized boat launches,” she said.

“It may not be on district territory but we’re willing to work with them.”

Coun. Michael Lewis, a boater himself, said the ramp isn’t ideal because of a lack of nearby parking. And, Lewis said, he believes the ramp today is unsafe.

“There’s really no breakwater. If you go out in the morning and it’s crystal clear and dead calm, fine, but when it blows up in the afternoon, it really is, I think, a potentially dangerous situation,” he said, noting he’s seen several instances of boat owners nearly pinned between their

boats and trailers during heavy seas. “I personally would never launch a boat there.”

Dave Steel, owner of Highwater Tackle, said the district’s “elitist” waterfront concept fails to reflect the inherent outdoor nature that first attracted people to West Vancouver.

“There’s a history of angling, fishing and outdoorsmanship in that area that goes right back to

before the British Properties were even developed,” he said.

“They keep saying in this new proposal that it’s access to the waterfront but they have a skewed definition of access to the waterfront. … Their skewed definition is having a glass of wine and looking at art by the water.”

The plan is scheduled to be presented to council at a June 13 meeting.

Mass distraction

T

his week the province announced it is bringing out some heavy weapons in the fight against mass distraction on the road.

Tickets for those nabbed for distracted driving are going up significantly.

Of course, if the government wanted to get really tough it could consider an even more Draconian penalty – taking away drivers’ cellphones.

Ninety per cent of the time we refer to distractions behind the wheel, what we’re really talking about are electronic devices. Societally, we have become pathologically addicted to our smartphones and have created an expectation of instant response.

So when the smartphone rings or buzzes, the pull to answer it is strong.

It’s the boss. It’s the kids’ school. It’s the friend ahead of you on the highway.

Never mind the police in cherry pickers.

Most of us still witness people yakking or texting on their phones while driving every day. As the transportation minister pointed out, when you look down, it’s like driving the length of a football field blind.

So far, the message hasn’t got through, as witnessed by the increasing numbers of distracted driving tickets being handed out by police and the number of accidents where cellphones are a factor.

We hope bigger fines will get people’s attention. Societally, we all have a role to play – by putting down our phones when we get behind the wheel and not tolerating drivers who won’t.

It is possible to tear ourselves away from that electronic tether long enough to get where we are going.

The life we save could be our own.

miracle, some thoughtful trail planner from the District (I think), built this perfect little bridge. Just for me!

But my favourite secret spot isn’t really all that secret.

Thousands of people see it every morning as they crawl up the cloverleaf to the Lions Gate Bridge. You can’t see much of it from the car, of course, but what you can see is charming … or goofy, depending on how you look at these things. Odd little things – ornamental bicycles, garden gnomes, flower pots, dolls and driftwood – decorate the roadside.

I’m sure that most of the time, as we inch our way onto that damned bridge, we dismiss it all as the work of a community gardening cult with too much time on its hands.

You wouldn’t be too far wrong. It’s the handiwork of one guy, 70+ kitsch placement specialist Matt Aiston, who with his wheelbarrow, pitchfork and imagination, has created a garden of earthly delights that very few appreciate in its fullness.

real depth of Aiston’s creative genius. I didn’t either until I started riding my bike through the path that starts at the end of Klahanie Court (past Earl’s parking lot) and runs around the cloverleaf, under Marine Drive and back up onto the West Van side of the bridge.

It’s a plastic, alabaster, floral zoo in there! Aiston, a resident of Klahanie Court, has quietly built a vast preserve of garden Bambis and Thumpers, songbirds, flower beds, mirrors, hanging things, decorative signs and various tchotchkes that defy description. The whole thing runs through the wooded footpath from Klahanie Court and then spreads in both directions alongside the cloverleaf, inching a little farther out each year.

As Donald Trump would say, it’s yuge!

You can often spot Aiston himself, merrily tending to his … what? Garden? It’s more than a garden. It’s an installation! It’s a statement! A blow against vacancy! An inclination to elaborate! Who knows?

wiser, but Matt turns out to be exactly the kind of guy who would indulge in an all-encompassing labour of love without stooping to analysis.

He does it for free. He does it in spite of the neuropathy in his legs, which will stop him from doing it one day. He does it even though he knows that he is at best tolerated by the various jurisdictions – and there are a bunch of them – responsible for the approach to Lions Gate Bridge. (It wouldn’t hurt though, if they bought him some flowers or dirt.) He does it knowing that after him, that’s all folks.

There’s no apprentice gnome to keep it going once he’s gone.

In the meantime, the Lone Gardener continues without recognition or complaint to build a thing of secret, fragile beauty. It’s the least I can do to love it.

So that’s mine. What’s yours?

Cap music school cut disappoints Dear Editor

It was with interest that we read outgoing Capilano University president Kris Bulcroft’s responses to our concerns about the sudden closure of the Community Music School, especially “About a year ago, we decided community music school – although we’re very proud of it – is not really our core mission.”

Parents and students were only informed by the university of the decision on April 19, with the instructors and program co-ordinator receiving their official notice the previous evening. No consultation occurred and no advance notice was given of discussions taking place, internally or externally.

INQUIRINGREPORTER Do you support B.C.’s new minimum wage?

After falling to the back of the pack like a sedated racehorse, B.C.’s minimum wage is racing to the middle.

Premier Christy Clark recently announced plans to bump the bottom line up 40 cents Sept. 15., moving the lowest wage to $10.85. For our province’s approximately 120,000 minimum wage workers, 74 per cent of whom are out of their teens, the extra quarter, dime and nickel an hour is good news.

But is this a tide that will lift all boats, or just a drop in the ocean? Weigh in at nsnews. com.

“Absolutely. It should’ve been raised two years ago . . . especially when our premier has just given herself an additional $50,000 a year.”

For fall and winter terms, adult classes are also held and so the total numbers are higher (children’s classes are divided into three terms in line with the public school semesters and holidays). Fall 2015 enrolment was 424 and winter 2016, 389 students.

The sudden announcement of the closure is extremely disappointing for those most impacted by the decision.

Cap has a duty to consult on programming changes. The president continues to say that the North Shore to has a variety of options. This is not true; curriculum-based early music education in group settings is not offered elsewhere.

Small group classes are also offered, as well as adult education, by experienced, highly regarded teachers. The level and quality of instruction is not duplicated by any other organization. Many personal stories of the impact of the Community Music School have been shared in the comments to our Change. org petition, a link can be found on our Facebook page SaveCapUCMS. A request was made by parents to be added to the May senate and board of governors meeting agendas. The senate request was refused, with an explanation that the president is delegated the authority to make operational decisions on behalf of the board. And the board meeting was cancelled. Further, this executive decision is counter to the collective agreement; program changes and closures require consultation among faculty and co-ordinators involved.

No explanation has been provided for the cancellation of a program that was profitable and contributed to

the university in many ways, including financial. Meanwhile, the university continues to offer non-credit Continuing Studies programming.

Classroom space for university music courses is already given priority.

Justin O’Donohue and Jen Yamazaki, classroom instructors, have invited the director of Continuing Studies and Executive Education Karmen Blackmore and the president to this Saturday’s classes.

This would be a wonderful opportunity for them to see first hand the value of music education, and the impact of their decision to end it.

Although we understand that the core mission of the university is undergraduate degree programs, a broader mission is the promotion of the arts in the community. It is unfortunate that Cap administration and governance has continued to distance itself from this role.

City of North Van awards youth program grants MARIA SPITALE-LEISK mspitale-leisk@nsnews.com

Children and youth programming will get a $12,000 boost from the City of North Vancouver.

Beneficiaries of the city’s Child and Youth Initiatives Fund, approved by council May 2, include Carson Graham, Mountainside and Sutherland secondary schools, Capilano elementary, Family Services of the North Shore, Capilano Community Services and North Shore Crisis Services Society. The review committee approved half of the 24 applications received, for a total allocation of $12,300.

Mountainside secondary received the most funding, $3,000, for an art therapy program and a non-competitive physical education class in

which kids do activities such as yoga, rock climbing, golf and swimming.

North Shore Crisis Services Society was awarded $2,000 towards a summer camp for kids who face challenges at home and whose families cannot afford organized activities.

FSNS received $1,500 for a program that provides support for transgender children, youth and their parents.

Sutherland secondary was awarded $1,200 for four programs, including a project called Blissful Bods that promotes positive body image in young women, and Equipment 4 Kids, which affords underprivileged kids a chance to play sports using equipment donated by the community.

Capilano elementary’s parent advisory group received $1,500 to purchase tools such as wobble stools and wiggle

cushions that support selfregulation for students.

Since 1998 the city has provided seed money to support children and youth programming. Coun. Linda Buchanan, who represents council on the fund’s review committee, said they are seeing the same organizations apply year after year. To encourage a diverse range of applicants, Buchanan suggested soliciting feedback to find out why some groups might not be applying and look at making changes to the process. One of the challenges, speculated Buchanan, is that the funding application deadline falls around Spring Break when teachers and school administrators are busy with report cards.

There is still $8,200 left in the budget, which could fund a second intake of applications this fall.

ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com

A video exhibition that opened Wednesday at Deep Cove’s Seymour Art Gallery is offering gallerygoers a unique opportunity to see snapshots of the realities of life in 11 small Canadian towns from the personal perspectives of the residents who call them home.

Vancouver filmmakers Ryder Thomas White and Alexandra

Caulfield embarked on a community filmmaking project in 2013 and spent the majority of the year travelling from coast to coast.

Their vehicle of choice was a modified school bus, complete with a living space as well as film processing lab, and their goal was to connect with residents of a host of diverse communities ranging from Pender Harbour, B.C., to St. Stephen, N.B. Interested in contributing to the ongoing discussion of Canadian identity, the duo sought program participants and asked them about themselves and what they felt was important about their respective communities, encouraging them to express themselves through film. After offering training, project participants were given a camera and a roll of black and white Super 8mm film.

The resulting 74 films, silent and each over three minutes

long, are being showcased at the Seymour gallery as part of an exhibition, entitled Canadian Frame(lines).

“It features films that you’re likely never going to see anywhere else and images from towns that you’re probably never going to go to. It’s a really unique way to essentially give yourself a little walking tour of over 70 people’s points of view on their towns and you don’t have to leave the beauty and serenity of Deep Cove,” says White.

The filmmakers met while studying in Simon Fraser University’s film production program, and are currently partners in Caulfield White Creative Industries, a small scale commercial videography and visual marketing company that produces

HOT TICKET: BETTYE LAVETTE AT KAY MEEK

R&B icon still finds magic in the music Soul singer blows into town for West Van gig ! Bettye Lavette, Kay Meek

Centre, Tuesday, May 17 at 8 p.m. Tickets: $55 / $48 / $25.

For more information go to kaymeekcentre.com.

JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

She starts to sing and all the colour runs out of the world, like the Wizard of Oz in reverse.

When Bettye Lavette really hits her groove, when she’s singing with all the guts she took from Detroit to the world, everything is ageless black and white with that voice rising out of a pillar of smoke in the dark. It may not have the heft of Etta James or the brilliance of Aretha Franklin, but there’s something in her crackling voice that speaks to chromium will

and to deep regrets in the cold part of the stomach.

Sounding like dry moss in a campfire or the leather binding of a bible opening winters after it was closed, that crackle is Lavette’s trademark.

She grew up in Motor City, but to hear Lavette tell it, she was born in the footlights.

“The first time I walked on stage in my life at 16 I had a record in the charts. I don’t know what’s before that,” she says. “This really is my existence, this is all I know.”

Her new album is called Worthy, and despite a Rolling Stones cover that seems like a misguided attempt to recapture younger days as an icon of England’s northern soul scene, there’s nary a miss.

Most of the arrangements are sparse and clear, letting you hear each drumbeat and the subtle squeak of fingertips on guitar strings.

“That was the magic of Joe Henry,” Lavette says, crediting her songwriter and producer. “He’s the only one

who speaks jagga-jagga-jagga and chuka-chuka-chuka . . .

He understands me when I say those kinds of things.”

Maybe the best song on the disc is called “Stop.”

She won’t, in case you were wondering.

“You might take the black off a crow, but you can’t tell me to go,” she sings on the track. Her defiance turns seductive as she falls into a whisper at the end of the spare, jazz-inspired groove.

Asked if she was ever tempted to walk away from the music business, Lavette laughs.

“Oh, yes! Every time sugar turned to shit, and that happened several times in my career. Every time it would fall apart I would quit – in my head. And then they’d call up and say, ‘Come and do a puppet show,’ or whatever, and I’d say, ‘Hey, I’m back in it.’”

After 55 years, Lavette – who once likened herself to Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard – is arguably

Upon entering, the common room of Supermoon’s East Vancouver jam space carries the aroma of stale beer and chips. It’s a scent familiar to many Vancouver bands’ private digs; a veritable eau de musician consistent across the city.

In Supermoon’s private lockout, however, the room is surprisingly stale beer smell-free.

“We do our due diligence and take our cans out,” says guitarist Katie Gravestock, unpacking five cans of P49’s Craft Lager and cracking them open for her bandmates.

music is a little more dark than usual but it’s still pretty poppy (on Playland),” adds LaBelle.

When we first starting writing these new songs, we were like, ‘Wow, they’re so different.’ Now it’s just a slightly darker tone,” says Crammond.

“I think I always write darker lyrics,” Lynch interjects. “I don’t think I’ve ever ! written a song that’s like, ‘Oh, annual I’m in love and things are Ma going well.’” loc As far as songwriting co duties go, the girls equally ev contribute their chops and efforts – and each member C cl sings the songs they’ve penned. Luckily for them, each girl’s approach fits with Ar the band’s primary ethos. the “I think there’s a lot of season sho overlap with our general cr approach to the world: political perspectives and humour,” Crammond says.

Selina Crammond, Katie Gravestock, Adrienne LaBelle and Alie Lynch make up Supermoon. Their latest release, Playland, out

May 20 on Mint Records, will be available on double 7” or cassette tape.

Gravestock is joined by drummer Selina Crammond, bassist Adrienne LaBelle, and guitarist Alie Lynch.

The four-piece pop outfit seems to defy the Vancouver musician stereotype: they’re uncharacteristically clean, they boast no defined band leader, and their musical content is purposely enigmatic.

contrast in general. I always like stuff that’s a little bit beguiling in a way,” Lynch admits, noting that the band’s poppy chord arrangements don’t necessarily line up with its lyrical content.

Produced by Tom Prilesky (known to some as Spirit Vegetable), Playland is set to be released by Mint Records on May 20. The album is an eight-track, double 7-inch vinyl.

“You get sucked into

one thing and when you’re listening to it you’re like ‘Oh, where’s this sentiment coming from?’” Lynch says.

In contrast to the band’s debut Comet Lovejoy, released on cassette via Alarum, Supermoon attests that its upcoming release will feature “moodier” pop.

According to the CDC it is estimated that Food Allergies affect 4-6% of children and 4% of adults. Symptoms are most common in babies and children, but can appear at any age. You can even develop an allergy to foods you have eaten for years with no problems.

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

Arts Umbrella is marking the end of the 2015/16 season with a public showcase of budding creative talent.

The annual Expressions Festival, which runs for the next month, provides an opportunity for students of the non-profit youth arts education centre to share what they’ve been working on in recent months. The festival brings together multiple disciplines including dance; theatre and music; and visual, applied and media arts, and features a lineup of performances and exhibitions on Granville Island

and beyond.

“I like to think of Expressions as a celebration of all things Arts Umbrella, really,” says Paul Moniz de Sa, artistic director of the school’s Theatre and Music Program.

As part of the month-long

event, Moniz de Sa is spearheading the Theatre and Music Expressions Festival, which runs May 11 to 22 at the 225-seat Waterfront Theatre on Granville Island and lifts the curtain on teens in the preprofessional theatre program.

Matthew Tucker is part of the Arts Umbrella Musical Theatre Troupe’s performance of The Drowsy Chaperone at Waterfront Theatre (showtimes at artsumbrella.com). PHOTO SUPPLIED This year’s theatre and music portion of the Expressions Festival has been extended to two weeks and features five productions: Dangers of a Total War, an original creation by the Laboratory theatre troupe; The Drowsy

Chaperone, by the musical theatre troupe (and featuring North Shore resident Matthew Tucker); Julius Caesar, by the senior theatre troupe; Story Stew: A Fairy Tale Revue, by

Recital features work of top choreographers From page 19 the junior theatre troupe; and Theatre and Music Showcase, by theatre intensive program students.

“It’s professional-quality work that’s happening and I’m excited to share that with Vancouver audiences,” says Moniz de Sa, explaining he decided to lengthen the runs this year “because the work should be seen.”

“These are the actors that are really going to be pushing the limits in the years to come and it’s really exciting to see them as they’re starting out.”

Outside his job at Arts Umbrella, Moniz de Sa works as a professional actor, something he’s been doing for more than 20 years. But he didn’t always have the stage and screen in his sights. Back in high school, he was taking advanced placement courses in hopes of studying science at university. Those plans changed when he took an acting class at Arts Umbrella.

“When I was at Arts Umbrella as a young teen, it sparked something in me that I feel like I’ve continued to take with me my entire life,” he explains.

There, he met like-minded students from across the Lower Mainland and grew the confidence to pursue acting as a career. Now, back to where it all began, Moniz de Sa says one of the best parts of his job is following his former students on social media to see what they’ve gone on to achieve.

“It’s heartwarming because for me, it very much is a family.”

Other highlights of this year’s Expressions Festival include the Visual, Applied and Media Arts Expression Exhibition June 9 to 12 at Boca del Lupo on Granville Island. And young dancers will

take the Vancouver Playhouse stage for a season finale May 26 to 28 and a recital June 9 to 12. The year-end recital, featuring the entire Arts Umbrella dance school, is a presentation of The Gilded Bat, based on a story written

by Edward Gorey, while the season finale features the select 80 dancers in the Arts Umbrella Dance Company, including 19-year-old North Vancouver resident Stephanie Jamieson.

Artemis Gordon, artistic director of the Arts Umbrella Dance Program, has to pinch herself when she looks at the list of Canadian and international guest choreographers who have created works for this year’s recital – names like Crystal Pite, Aszure Baron and Sharon Eyal, to name a few.

“These are some of the top female choreographers in the world right now and that we’re doing work with them is just extraordinary,” Gordon says. “Most people can’t believe that we have so many incredible choreographers in one season.”

The repertory dance company will present a total of 14 pieces spread over three different shows, all innovative hybrids representing the best of classical ballet and modern dance.

“The choreographers are all firmly rooted in the history and esthetic of classicism, but are contemporary,” Gordon explains. “We’re not reproducing something that happened in 19th-century Russia.”

For anyone who may shy away from watching dance, Gordon encourages them to come out and see what the Arts Umbrella Dance Company can do.

“I think dance, and really great dance, is probably the one art form that connects to everybody, every walk of life, every taste, every style.”

Fashion gala raises funds for South Sudan CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

Top Canadian and South Sudanese models walked the runway Tuesday night at a gala designed to unite fashion and philanthropy.

The Walk for Water benefit, hosted by the West Vancouver-based Obakki Foundation in partnership with Holt Renfrew’s H Project, took place May 10 at the downtown Vancouver highend department store and raised funds and awareness for clean water projects in South Sudan.

Obakki is a luxury label founded by West Vancouver resident Treana Peake in 2005. In 2009 the designer launched the Obakki Foundation, the philanthropic arm of her fashion brand. The registered charity focuses on providing clean water and education in Africa. Since its inception, the foundation has drilled more than 800 wells and brought water to more than one million people.

On Tuesday evening, Calgary-born supermodel Heather Marks opened the runway presentation. She was joined by other leading models from Canada and South Sudan, including Tasha Tilberg, Ajak Deng, Grace Bol, Achok Majak and Mari Agory, who walked the runway in Obakki’s latest designs and select pieces from Holt Renfrew’s current collections.

In addition to the fashion show, the evening featured guest speakers such as model, deejay and activist Mari Malek and actor and UN Refugee Goodwill

Scarf sales help to build wells From page 27 Ambassador Ger Duany.

Attendees also enjoyed a red carpet reception hosted by fashion media personality Susie Wall, sampled drinks and canapes, and were entertained by musical guest Emmanuel Jal, whose style of hip-hop draws inspiration from his past as a child soldier in South Sudan and his subsequent rescue.

“All of the work over the past few weeks was worth it to see how many people came out to support a cause that I believe in so deeply.

I hope it shows that having fun and doing good for the world are by no means mutually exclusive,” said Obakki founder Treana Peake in a press release.

Proceeds from ticket sales and 10 per cent of Holt Renfrew sales after the event went towards the Obakki Foundation’s work to bring clean water to South Sudan through the drilling and monitoring of water wells in small villages.

Scarves for Water Among the Okabbi Foundation’s ongoing fundraising campaigns is its Scarves for Water program, which sells limited-edition scarves to raise money to drill wells in Africa.

Obakki is currently selling its 16th limited-edition scarf, called Brick. The sale of 500 of the lightweight modal blend accessories will bring clean water to the village of Mayen Atol in South Sudan.

The sale of 500 Brick scarves will allow Obakki to bring clean water to Mayen Atol. PHOTO SUPPLIED Right now, the people of the village and the nearby brick-making facility rely on contaminated water from hand-dug wells.

In addition to the new Brick colour, there are three other limited-edition scarves available, each hue assigned to a different village: Cobalt (village of Nyaga), Sand (village of Mayike) and Maize (village of Makernhom).

Once 500 of one colour have been sold, the style is considered retired and won’t be available again.

Scarves are $29 each at obakkifoundation.org. One hundred per cent of the net proceeds of each scarf goes towards building a well.

! Palm Springs Paradise by Peter Moruzzi, Gibbs Smith Publishers, 176 pages, $40.

The Palm Springs Historical Society completed the massive task of digitizing its collection of over 100 years of images that collectively added up to more than thirty thousand.

Editing this archive down to the 200 photos that appear in this book meant tremendous scrutiny to locate the most compelling images and with them Peter Moruzzi has brought to life the odd and quirky along with the historical and significant.

From the earliest days as a frontier outpost and later as both a failed farming area, then tubercular sanatorium Palm Springs’ destiny was finally realized when the automobile provided the kind of mobility that brought the Los Angeles residents there to create the desert resort. Blending the views of a changing landscape, a unique lifestyle, and an important architectural movement, Moruzzi offers plenty of background details to complement the wide range of images.

REVIEW: MUSTANG

Timeless message in Turkish tale ! Mustang. Directed by Deniz Gamze Erguven. Starring Gunes Sensoy.

Rating: 9 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD Contributing Writer

Five sisters walking home on the last day of school bump into a few male classmates and play in the sea, a jubilant expression of playfulness and freedom in anticipation of a long, lazy summer ahead.

They stop to eat apples in an orchard (a really bad sign, biblically and symbolically), and when the sisters return they are greeted by beatings from their grandmother (Nihal G. Koldas), who has been shamed because a neighbour has seen the girls’ disgraceful “obscene” behavior and spread news of it in the village. “Everything changed in the blink of an eye,” says Lale (Gunes Sensoy).

This is a coastal town in Turkey and time seems to have stood still (indeed, it could be present day, it could be several decades ago).

Western viewers will be outraged at this violent outburst and by the treatment of the girls that follows. But while the culture may be alien, the themes of identity, coming-ofage angst, sexual awakening and the bond of sisterhood are universal.

Lale, the youngest, most rebellious and perhaps most sensible of the lot, chronicles what happens next. An uncle to the orphaned girls

Deniz Gamze Erguven’s masterful Mustang (France/Turkey 2015) screens at Vancity Theatre on May 17 and 19. PHOTO SUPPLIED is consulted and the sisters – Sonay (Ilayda Akdogan), Selma (Tugba Sunguroglu), Ece (Elit Iscan) and Nur (Doga Doguslu) – are to be imprisoned in the house. Phones, computers and magazines are confiscated; the girls are measured for plain, sack-like clothes.

Perhaps most unfair to soccer-mad Lale is the fact that she can’t travel to the final soccer match with the men of the village.

The girls have distinct personalities but also move as one mass, a unified front against their strict culture and lousy circumstances. As

a group, the energy these girls produce is a force of nature. Is it any wonder, then, that their elder relatives start to divide and conquer, marrying them off one by one and weakening their power?

Women of the village swoop in to provide cooking and housewifery lessons until the sisters are betrothed, one by one. “The house became a wife factory that we never got out of,” laments Lale, who looks desperately for a way out as her sisters face varying degrees of misery at the same fate.

So what if they are teens and even tweens: there are

virginity checks on the girls, including one on a wedding night, with the groom’s suspicious family waiting in the hospital hallway. The girls are sold to the men’s families like cattle.

But they are not cattle, they are mustangs, all long brunette manes and coltish limbs, straining against the walls into which they are penned.

Dark family secrets are revealed, leading Lale to take extreme measures to escape the provincial and religious traditions of the family. The final heartbreak of the story is the certainty that any girls

who do escape the house face as much potential violence and misery as the ones who do not.

Director and co-writer Deniz Gamze Erguven maintains this tension while employing a surprisingly light touch. Her actors – many of them first-timers – are natural talents, and moments of humour and acts of small rebellion help to temper the tragic plight of these girls.

The film screened during the directors’ fortnight at Cannes and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Film and plays this weekend at Vancity.

North Shore Waterfront Gala Raising Funds for The Learning Disabilities Association on the North Shore The Learning Disabilities Association of Vancouver opened a new branch on the North Shore last year, and is already making a difference to children struggling in school as a result of dyslexia or other learning disabilities.

In partnership with researchers from the University of British Columbia, the non-profit organization provides educational intervention that is professional and grounded in extensive research. Its instruction is tailored to each child’s individual needs, based on psych-ed evaluations. LDAV’s specialist educators help children become confident, independent learners who thrive and succeed in the school system, often within just two to three years.

For more information, visit www.ldav.ca.

The sponsors of the North Shore Waterfront Gala are proud to once again be raising funds for LDAV. Tickets to this year’s Gala are already sold out, but donations are still being accepted for the event’s silent auction. All proceeds of the event go directly to the Learning Disabilities Association (North Shore) and North Shore Neighbourhood House.

Finished films screened in individual communities

From page 13

media for artists, entrepreneurs and small businesses for primarily use on the web and social media.

The idea for Canadian Frame(lines) goes back to 2010.

“It really came out of a combined desire to travel, and also work with film and also work with community.

Both of us had a strong desire coming out of school to unearth real life stories and small scale stories, things that might not break on a national, provincial or even major metropolitan level but things that small groups of people would find important and people in vastly different sorts of environments might find interesting or enlightening,” says White, a member of Iris Film Collective.

Prior to arriving in the different communities, with populations ranging from 400 to 4,000 people, the duo forged connections with representatives of community-based organizations. Through those partnerships, they were supported in connecting with local residents upon arrival.

“Meeting people from all sorts of different backgrounds, walks of life, really vastly different life experiences, that

was something I found really fascinating and really enjoyable. I love hearing people’s stories and everyone has one in them that they want to tell if someone will listen. I was really happy to just talk with these people either after our workshops or a lot of people had us over for dinner or just saw us around town and told us about their lives and that was probably the most enjoyable thing for me,” says Caulfield. She produces independent films, mainly shorts and has one feature that’s in post-production right now. She also serves as festival co-ordinator for Cinema Spectacular, an all-Canadian motion picture variety show, set for May 29 at the Vancity Theatre.

The films were screened in their individual communities and the full show was exhibited once before, at Vancouver’s Interurban Gallery in 2014.

“It was exciting to be asked to show it again and it’s been fun and nostalgic to revisit the work,” says Caulfield.

At the Seymour gallery, Canadian Frame(lines) will feature 10 digital projectors screening the films simultaneously, as well as an ambient soundscape element the duo created from sounds recorded in the different communities.

“There will also be some didactic panels that give a little bit of detail about each of the communities and a context for people of the images that they’re seeing. People don’t have to stay at one projector and watch all the films front to back. They can move around the space and find what’s interesting to them and just engage with the work that way,” says Caulfield.

As part of the exhibition, Caulfield and White will be working with interested local community members to help them produce their own threeminute films, which will screen on the final day of the show.

“I would really encourage people to come out and do that. It’s a really fun and interesting and exciting way to take a fresh look at your community. Really when you’re out there with a camera that’s film and you’re not instantly seeing the photos you get back and you have to plan how you want to shoot it, I think it helps you see the community with fresh eyes,” she says.

Community members (teams of one to three participants) interested in working with the duo to learn basic filmmaking and direct an 8mm short film in Deep Cove, can find out more at seymourartgallery.com.

“We’re just huge advocates of women playing music,” says Lynch.

“I find songwriting collaboratively way easier [with women],” adds La Belle.

“Things like switching instruments; I’ve never played guitar in a band but never felt scared to play wrong, sometimes in those songs I’m playing chords that aren’t a chord. I’ve had guys see me play a chord wrong and come up to me and say ‘Do you want me to teach you how to play a basic bar chord?’ and I’m like, ‘No, if I wanted to learn I would consult the 12-year-olds on YouTube.’ It works for me.”

And so it seems to.

Though the band is hardly two years old, Supermoon has been invited to play Calgary’s Sled Island, Vancouver’s Music Waste Festival, a few Mint Records parties, and will be touring across Canada as well as to California this summer. They’ve also scored cover stories in local magazines, showed up in the pages of SPIN, Vice’s Noisey, and snagged a coveted spot on Consequence of Sound’s playlist of the week.

It was a big deal for us

$$

to get invited to Sled Island when we had just formed, and then suddenly we were on the cover of Megaphone, which was a huge deal to me because I love street papers,” says LaBelle. “One day, the four of us were walking down the street around Main and Hastings and someone stopped us and said ‘Hey! You girls are on the cover of the magazine!’ and that was awesome.”

“The SPIN thing is really cool in a different way,” Crammond acknowledges.

“It’s validating for my hometown, for my siblings or my high school nemesis to see.”

What else might be validating for the femme-fatale quartet in the near future?

“I’m excited to go across Canada especially as an all-woman band. In smaller towns, especially in the Prairies, they’re not necessarily used to seeing that.”

Small town dwellers may be surprised this summer when they find out the only difference between Supermoon and any other killer fuzz-pop outfit is that they smell a whole lot better.

That is, if their jam space lockout is any indication.

– Kristi Alexandra writes for our sister paper the Westender.

bigger than ever.

She sang a duet with Jon Bon Jovi to mark U.S. President Barack Obama’s inauguration and performed “Love Reign O’er Me” at a Kennedy Centre tribute to The Who. Asked about her setlist, Lavette turns touchy, as though suspicious of the neophytes who ignored the first 45 years of her career.

“You are asking the most ridiculous questions,” she says. “I’ve got 55 years’ worth of recording. My setlist has to change depending upon whether I’m with a group who have known me 55 years; or a group of people who have just known me since “Love Reign O’er Me,” like you, apparently have.”

(For the record, I was thinking of her 1965 hit: “Let Me Down Easy.”)

Speaking from a crowded and incredibly noisy Los Angeles airport, Lavette is mostly gregarious and forthcoming, peppering her answers with endearments of “baby” and “sugar.”

When discussing Worthy, which features Bob Dylan

and Beatles covers and brims with stories of wounds that won’t heal and desire that doesn’t ebb, the singer is humble.

“I don’t know anything about music, ‘cause I’m not a music enthusiast,” she says.

“Right now my entire life is wrapped up in this political race.”

Despite spending much of her life on the road, Lavette is considering a change of address if Hilary Clinton doesn’t find her way to the White House.

“I’m seriously thinking about leaving the country if Donald Trump is elected,” she says, describing the real estate mogul turned Republican presidential candidate as a “big, pompous, cashmere overcoat-wearing a__hole.”

Prior to a performance, Lavette typically waits backstage, stretching her body and voice to prepare.

Asked if she sings differently these days, she laughs.

“Well I do almost everything differently now, baby, I’m 70.”

With a new album and half a century of songs to draw from, different never sounded so good.

The Ford Edge was completely redesigned in 2015, with the 2016 model adding a few more tweaks to build on its aggressive and dynamic makeover. With the changes it’s turned into an important piece of the automaker’s SUV lineup, bringing in new customers to the Ford flock. The Edge is available at Cam Clark Ford in the Northshore Auto Mall. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH

Ford Edge sharper than ever If you want a midsize crossover SUV that challenges the best in the industry, have a look at the Ford Edge. It is surprisingly capable, even when compared against much more expensive models in the marketplace.

Behind The Wheel

The Ford Edge was redesigned in 2015, and Ford did a truly amazing job overhauling the vehicle. Along with more

David Chao

aggressive styling, the new Edge is loaded with more technology, higher levels of craftsmanship, and improved vehicle dynamics.

This update was needed to keep pace with its strong rivals in this competitive segment. The Ford Edge competes with the likes of the Hyundai Santa Fe, Nissan Murano, and Jeep Grand Cherokee, to name some.

Not only is the Edge one of

Ford’s top sellers, it’s important to the brand in another significant way. Ford discovered many Edge buyers were new to the brand, so Ford wanted to make sure it was a great experience for these new buyers and owners.

Since the Edge was all-new in 2015, there are not any major changes going into 2016. However, there are a few trim upgrades and more options added.

DESIGN Compared to the previous Edge, this new version has a much more eye-catching, trendy design. That being said, the change it isn’t dramatic enough to be polarizing.

Retaining its familiar squat and strong overall shape, the Edge’s new appearance is sleeker and more athletic. This styling continues the tradition of the Edge, while adding a new level of sophistication

and refinement.

Dominating the front is Ford’s big trapezoidal grille; also featured on the standout Fusion sedan. To optimize aerodynamics, active grille shutters are available, which automatically open and close.

At the rear of the Edge, the finely tapered backside is accentuated by full-LED taillights that draw a line across

Strong SUV handling gives Edge an edge From page 41

the back. Ford’s hands-free liftgate is available and opens the tailgate with a swing of your foot under the bumper.

Now based on the same global platform as the Ford Fusion, the Edge delivers exceptional on-road ride and handling abilities for an SUV. Yet, when equipped with all-wheel drive, it is able to venture off-road a little.

This new body structure uses more high-strength steel to create a stiffer platform that is more resistant to twisting and bending. This results in less noise, vibration and harshness for a more enjoyable ride.

Configured in a two row, five passenger layout, the Ford Edge is still not available with a third-row seat. However, the Edge does offer plenty of passenger room front and rear, as well as a generous cargo bay.

PERFORMANCE Featuring three engine options – two of which are new for this generation – the Ford Edge emphasizes performance across the range.

While the new base 2.0-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder may be small, it puts out a respectable 245 horsepower and can tow up to 3,500 pounds. Fuel

economy is also quite good and it can be had with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive.

Available as an option on SEL and Titanium models is a carryover 3.5-litre V-6. This engine bumps horsepower to 280, but fuel consumption also goes up.

If you are looking for more performance, the Sport trim features an impressive 2.7-litre turbocharged V-6 engine. This is the same unit used in the full-size F-150, and its 315 h.p. makes the Edge one of the most powerful midsize SUVs on the market.

The Edge Sport also comes standard with AWD, sport-tuned suspension, and variable-ratio power steering. While the base SE is very good, if you drive the Sport it will be the model you want.

All three engines are mated to Ford’s SelectShift six-speed automatic transmission. Using the standard steering wheelmounted paddle shifters, the driver can always manually select gears.

Featuring two modes of operation, SelectShift can work in Drive or Sport mode.

Sport mode uses a more aggressive shift pattern, allowing the engine to rev higher during acceleration and holds\ lower gears longer.

Ford’s available AWD

The cabin of the redesigned Edge is fresh and classy, with Ford returning to more traditional buttons and knobs for the audio and climate controls to make adjustments faster and easier. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH system for the Edge features an electronically controlled clutch. This can engage quicker than a human can blink, and is able to transfer up to 100 per cent of the

power to either the front or rear axle.

What was most impressive about the Edge is its neutral, surprisingly solid steering feel. In many ways, the overall

handling rivals the likes of Audi Q5 and BMW X3s even though the Edge is significantly cheaper.

ENVIRONMENT

In recent years, Ford’s interiors have been rather impressive. The cabin of the 2016 Edge continues

FEATURES The Ford Edge is available in four trim levels with starting prices ranging from $31,349 to $44,649.

Standard equipment includes keyless entry with push button start, automatic headlights, an individual tire pressure monitoring system, a rearview camera and 18-inch wheels.

Additional features, available as option or on higher trims, include a dual rear seat DVD entertainment system,

voice-activated navigation system, heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, remote start, auto-dimming mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, and a front 180-degree camera.

Fuel efficiency numbers (litres/100 kilometres) for the base 2.0-litre are 11.5 city and 7.8 highway.

THUMBS UP The base model Edge SE is excellent value for your money and boasts many premium features and a strong, yet efficient, engine. The top-ofthe-range Edge Sport is the most fun-to-drive midsize SUV in this class.

THUMBS DOWN While there is little to complain about, the Ford Edge can’t do everything. If you need a third-row seat, a sub$30,000 price tag, or supreme off-road ability, you will need to look elsewhere.

The touch panel is still a bit awkward to use however – the whole industry should just start using an Android or Apple system to be honest (many car companies are offering their car systems now).

Due to the Edge’s exterior dimensions, the inside feels very spacious. Thanks to formfitting seats, there is generous legroom for both front and rear passengers, with the back seats offering 40.6 inches.

Cargo capacity is equally impressive. With the rear seats up, volume is 39.2 cubic feet, and 73.4 with them folded down.

The standard infotainment system is a six-speaker AM/ FM/CD system with USB input and Bluetooth connectivity.
