Cops turn to web to help bust rioters
N. Shore police officers reinforce VPD efforts to control looting, vandalism James Weldon jweldon@nsnews.com
THE riots that followed the Vancouver Canucks’ Game7 loss to the Boston Bruins Wednesday night got out of hand so rapidly that Vancouver police were forced to call in reinforcements from the North Shore. Members of the West Vancouver police’s day shift stayed late into the night to help cover for officers called into the downtown core to help contain the growing chaos. Members of the North Vancouver RCMP, assigned to the region’s riot squad, also helped in the effort. Violence broke out within minutes of the Canucks’ loss Wednesday when outraged fans overturned a car on Georgia Street and set fire to it. The act seemed to touch off a wave of destructive behaviour among some of the thousands of spectators who had gathered to watch the game. Over several hours, the mob set fires, overturned cars, smashed storefronts and looted. Plumes of smoke were visible from the North Shore. Vancouver police, struggling to contain the chaos, called in backup from all over the Lower Mainland. Transit from the North Shore to the downtown core was temporarily See Witnesses page 5
Medical marijuana ban hearing draws big crowd
Benjamin Alldritt balldritt@nsnews.com
A proposed ban on dispensing medical marijuana without explicit federal approval drew medical marijuana users, legalization activists and residents from across the North Shore into the District of North Vancouver’s council chambers Tuesday night for a standing-room-only public hearing. The draft bylaw comes in response to an abortive attempt by the Re-Leaf Dispensary Society to begin selling pot to prescription-holding patients in Deep Cove. Police officers and district bylaw staff converged on the premises Saturday to prevent the dispensary from opening. The legality of medical marijuana dispensaries is murky. The current legislation only allows licensed patients to grow their own cannabis, designate another person to grow it for them, or purchase it directly from Health Canada. Any distribution or dispensing, says the North Vancouver RCMP, constitutes drug trafficking. See Residents page 3

Residents question Cove location From page 1
But marijuana advocates say recent court decisions have supported dispensaries, and several locations operate openly in Vancouver, Burnaby, Maple Ridge and elsewhere with the full knowledge of police. “I saw my grandmother suffer,” Re-Leaf president Ken Starr told council. “I tried to help her with medical marijuana, knowing that it could help her. I don’t think I made a strong enough effort so she did suffer quite a bit. Since then I’ve made it a personal goal to help people I see in my grandmother’s situation. I’ve helped dozens of senior citizens who I’ve seen stuck sitting in a wheelchair, their hands clawed with arthritis and unable to feed or take care of themselves. I have helped them get medical marijuana and I’ve seen people who were taking 16 different medications a day stop taking them. I’ve seen those same people get up out of their wheelchairs and start walking around again and enjoying their lives. I’ve seen someone start dancing.” Starr said his personal experience with medicinal pot came after he was hit by a car and went through four years of rehabilitation before being able to walk. Marijuana, he said, helped him stop taking powerful pharmaceutical painkillers. “I was born and raised here,” Starr continued. “I’m raising my children here. They actually go to Seycove and Cove Cliff, within walking distance of the dispensary. I felt that if one is going to open in my community, I wanted to be the one who did it. I would like to make sure it’s run properly. I would like the opportunity to help sick people in North Vancouver.” A series of medical marijuana users addressed the hearing, reporting that smoking, eating, or ingesting tinctures of marijuana was an invaluable part of coping with conditions as varied as degenerative bone disease, HIV/AIDS, osteoporosis, spinal injury, bipolar disorder and the effects of chemotherapy. Several speakers grew emotional during their presentations, saying it would be “outrageous,” “sick” and “inhuman” to deny North Vancouver patients access to medical marijuana. “I don’t deny the benefits of medical marijuana,” said resident Katrina Stobbart, “but what we’re talking about is land use in the District of North Vancouver. This facility that’s being proposed is at the very end of the road — literally that you can get on the North Shore. It’s in a very small hub of a residential community. Very little commercial enterprise takes place there. There’s the proximity of two pre-schools, three elementary schools and a high school, all within blocks.” Several other residents echoed Stobbart’s argument. If the dispensary can operate within the law, they said, it would be more appropriate to locate it in the cluster of medical offices and businesses centred around Lions Gate Hospital. Several speakers also criticized Re-Leaf for attempting to open without seeking a business license or an inspection by the district’s building officials. District staff say the dispensary might also be violating the permitted uses allowed under the building’s zoning.

LAWYER Kirk Tousaw, representing the Re-Leaf Dispensary Society, addresses “Under no circumstances do I approve of the North Van District of North Vancouver council Tuesday evening at a public hearing. district allowing a medical marijuana dispensary to open in my neighbourhood, in Deep Cove,” said David Ross. “Two reasons: the first is the Millers up to $700 a month and hours spent driving to and from East Vancouver. location, the second is the health and safety of our community.

Land sales to pay for AmblesideNow Tessa Holloway tholloway@nsnews.com
WEST Vancouver council has approved a budget of more than $3 million for AmblesideNow, just to determine what the project will look like and whether it should be built at all.
The money will come from the sale of district lands, specifically the sale of the current police station site and parking lot in the 1300-block of Marine Drive, 2301 Ottawa Avenue, the site of the former Horseshoe Bay fire hall, as well as the Gertrude Lawson Museum site, the current fire hall site and some street end lots. How much the lots are worth depends on the zoning, and director of finance Nina Leemhuis said the district would be looking at options other than single-family homes.
The majority of the funding, slightly more than $2 million, is required to write detailed plans for the proposed public safety building, which would combine the police and fire stations on the site of the municipal hall. The money will pay for an architect to develop the needs of the building, its conceptual design and budget. The remainder will pay for administration and the sale of lands. The request comes on top of about $425,000 in funding for the project approved in 2010. Of the $3.1 million in funding for 2011, $413,000 had already been approved for March to May of this year. The choice of payment raised a few eyebrows on council and in the public gallery, where council watcher George Pajari compared the selling of lands for a study to the recent news item of a Chinese teen who sold his kidney to buy an iPad. “Land should only be sold in order to buy other
land,” he said. “If you really think that this is right, then make the hard decisions to pay for this out of my pocket and your pocket.” Leemhuis said the public safety building is far more complex than most projects the district has undertaken, in particular the post-disaster-capable design and the combination of police and fire services in one building. The current estimate for the final cost of the building is set at between $50 million and $65 million, but the study is required to flesh out a more precise figure, establish what spaces can be shared by the two services and put forward a final design. Without that information, council can’t make an adequate decision, she said. “The idea being that we’re trying to shield the cost from taxpayers, so rather than it being added to the property tax rate, we were using the sale of surplus lands to do all of our preliminary studies,” she said.
WVPD seek hit and run driver POLICE are looking for the driver of a car they say ran down an 87year-old West Vancouver man and fled the scene.
The victim was walking his dog down a laneway near the 1400-block of Esquimalt Avenue May 28 when someone driving a white station wagon apparently backed out of a parking stall at speed and knocked him down, according to West Vancouver police. The impact hurled the senior into some bushes, knocking him unconscious. He lay there for what was likely several minutes before his dog and a passerby woke him up. The man made his way home before calling an ambulance. He had suffered minor injuries. Investigators have canvassed the neighbourhood, but so far have not turned up any leads. West Vancouver police hope a member of the general public may know something that could lead them to the motorist. “If the driver panicked and left the scene, that’s an issue we have to deal with,” said Cpl. Jag Johal, a spokesman for the force. “If they didn’t realize they had hit this person . . . it’s important to come forward and clarify that misunderstanding. Anyone with information is asked to call the WVPD at 604925-7300. — James Weldon
Tool thief at work in Lynnmour
THERE have been recent numerous thefts from outdoor garden sheds and garages in the Lynnmour area of North Vancouver, near Capilano University. “[The suspect] is somebody that is going around and perhaps looking for legitimate work, and then looking for a way of future access to the property afterwards,” said Cpl. Richard De Jong, spokesman for the North Vancouver RCMP detachment. The RCMP believes that the suspect may have qualifications as an arborist. The suspect has reportedly been stealing garden and work tools. Residents should be cautious when allowing strangers onto their property, and should ask for proof of a business licence or ID. In order to safeguard against theft the RCMP asks residents to keep all valuables securely locked up, and to maintain copies of serial numbers on their tools. Due to the considerable amount of property that has gone missing, the RCMP has not ruled out the possibility of multiple suspects. De Jong believes that it is possible that the suspect(s) may be working in conjunction with a vehicle. — Drake Fenton

suspended in an effort to prevent the crowds from growing. Service returned to normal Thursday morning. In the wake of the incident, police and dismayed citizens turned to a smart phone-toting public to help hold those responsible to account. The proliferation of camera phones meant the destruction was recorded in thousands of still images and video clips taken by bystanders. On Thursday, the Vancouver Police Department issued a plea to the public to submit those files to help investigators identify individuals who participated in criminal acts. Disgusted fans have also started a Facebook page inviting witnesses to post incriminating images with a similar aim. Anyone with pictures of the event can submit them anonymously to the VPD via robbery@vpd.ca. Videos can be posted to YouTube as private uploads and shared with the same address. By Thursday, more than 45,000 people had voiced support for the Vancouver Riot Pics Facebook page, which is trying to nab the culprits.

Damage control I
N the wake of the destruction that followed Wednesday’s Game 7 loss in Vancouver, it may seem that our city’s reputation has been tarnished irrevocably in the eyes of the world. This isn’t the case, but we do have to acknowledge it as a problem — and find a pragmatic solution. It’s true the hooliganism that erupted on Wednesday caught the eye of international media. Outlets around the globe reported the actions of the Stanley Cup’s sore losers in incredulous and, at times, mocking terms. To a city that takes such pride in its image, this may seem more devastating than any of the physical damage inflicted by the mob. But in reality, this headline is just one among countless that will be forgotten as quickly as any other outside our
region. In the long term, it will be a concern only to those who live here. It nonetheless needs to be addressed. That the cretins behind Wednesday’s debacle comprise a minority of fans has been underscored by the shame and outrage voiced online and in editorial pages since it took place. Tens of thousands of Vancouverites have expressed support for a Facebook page created to catch the culprits, and others turned out in droves to help with the cleanup Thursday morning. This small element is not going to go away, however, and in future, we will have to take them into account in organizing certain major events. This incident isn’t about a crisis of identity; it’s about finding a smarter approach to crowd control, liquor control and venue preparation.

We must hold rioters to account
An open letter to my city: I have lived here my whole life; I was here for 1994 when we lost Game 7 and things turned ugly. I was young, in grade 11, and unsure how I felt about what happened. People were in the streets, things turned ugly and I was shocked at what was going on. I felt the anger at losing; I wanted to participate because it seemed pretty cool at the time (what high-school student didn’t want to participate in a little anarchy or at least watch?). Fast forward to 2011. There were whispers about riots happening if we lost. I didn’t think it would happen. I felt we were much more mature than that. A riot after Game 7? Again? Could that really happen? And then it did. I was disgusted. I was no longer a Grade 11 student with built-up anger that could explode into useless violence. I had grown up. I also thought the rest of the city had grown
up as well. Apparently we haven’t. Windows were broken, cops were taunted, firemen were pelted and our city just regressed 17 years. No, actually it has regressed way, way beyond that. Fuelled by alcohol, perhaps. Fuelled by anger, maybe. Fuelled by lack of what’s really important in life, bingo. We live in this city because it gives us a chance to live the life that we want. Vancouver provides us the opportunity that most people move here to achieve. If the rest of the world could see us right now, rioting over a cup-final loss in a game that is played by many and enjoyed by kids, they would be thoroughly confused. There’s war in Libya, death in Afghanistan, and people being tortured in Syria, yet Game 7 caused people to lose their minds in Vancouver? Those that participated should feel thoroughly
ashamed. They should feel just as disgusted as I did watching them tear a city apart that has given them nothing but the freedom to do so. They have taken complete advantage of a situation. A few shortsighted people that can’t see the big picture. They will show up to their jobs tomorrow as if nothing happened. That’s right, jobs they have because they are lucky enough to live in Vancouver. Jobs that people from Libya, Afghanistan or Syria could only dream of — or die for. Those that have destroyed our city may be faceless for now, but not forever. This time the silent majority will hold to account the loud, destructive minority.

A grad reflects on growing up on the N. Shore
Dear Editor: As a 2011 graduate from high school, I am now considering the possibility of leaving the North Shore. Other locations may be ideal for work, but I can’t think of another place that could give me as many opportunities for outdoor activities. Growing up in Deep Cove has offered me a variety of sports and other outdoor recreation at the tips of my fingers. In the past dozen years, I have biked on the trails of Mount Seymour, swam, kayaked and waterskied in Indian Arm, alpine skied on the three local mountains and skated on outdoor rinks — all within a 20-minute drive. Being exposed to other cities and their lifestyles has made me realize that Vancouver is a diamond in the rough. Leaving to pursue other dreams will be a tough choice. Scott Fowler North Vancouver

Don’t trust political promises on taxes
POLITICIANS are rightly doubted when it comes to tax promises, so it’s understandable why there is considerable skepticism over the B.C. Liberal government’s promise to cut the HST to 10 per cent by 2014.
After all, our political landscape is littered with all kinds of broken promises over taxation. And no political party has clean hands when it comes to sticking to its positions on taxes. So why should Premier Christy Clark’s government be any different than its predecessors? After all, financial and political considerations end up shaping our tax policies, no matter who is running government. Circumstances can change so quickly that they can have an immediate impact on taxes, since that is a government’s main source of revenues. This is how we ended up
Mailbox Build B.C.’s ferries here too Dear Editor: Premier Christy Clark is going around championing the North Shore shipbuilding industry for funds from Ottawa (our tax dollars) for jobs in North Vancouver. One cannot help but wonder where she stood when our ferry contracts were awarded to German shipyards, this spanks of the highest form or hypocrisy. We must keep our tax dollars benefiting British Columbia, not foreign shipyards. Ron Espin North Vancouver
View from the Ledge Keith Baldrey
with the HST, remember. The worldwide economic recession blew a huge hole in the B.C. government’s revenues almost overnight, and so when Ottawa came calling with a $1.6-billion “incentive” to implement the HST, the Campbell government lunged at the cash. Clark’s proposed twopoint cut in the HST will
cost her government about $1.6 billion in lost revenue when it is implemented in 2014. That will be somewhat offset by more than $600 million in corporate tax hikes or deferred tax reductions for small businesses. But it still works out to about a $1 billion hit, effectively wiping out a projected budget surplus in 2014. On the other side of the ledger, her government is insisting it can keep spending increases to less than two per cent a year. Oh really? In the four years before the 2008 recession, the annual spending increase in the government budget was 5.7 per cent. In the two years since then, spending increased an average of 3.5 per cent annually, but this was after all kinds of cuts to programs and services. So to get spending down
even further will presumably require more cuts (and it will also mean no wage hikes for public sector workers, including teachers). When one factors in the insatiable health-care system — which gobbles money at a rate of almost five per cent more each year — the challenge to stick to budget projections becomes even tougher. Add it all up, and it seems that a cut of one point next July seems do-able but a further cut of another point in 2014 seems wishful thinking at best. NDP leader Adrian Dix is perfectly correct to be dubious about the tax cuts actually occurring. But skepticism aside, it is certainly true governments of all political stripes have monkeyed with the sales tax over the years, so one can’t simply rule out the Clark government doing the same. In fact, if she really does
follow through with that 2014 rate cut, that will mark the 12th time since the tax was introduced in 1948 that a government has changed the rate (which started out at just three per cent). So perhaps Clark will surprise the skeptics (assuming the HST survives the referendum) and follow through on her promise. Goodness knows politicians can spring surprises when it comes to taxes. The HST is a perfect example of that. However, in B.C. political history there is another great example of a tax surprise, and it’s one that is not just incredibly rich in irony but also parallels the introduction of the HST. Back in 1987, the Social Credit government brought in the property transfer tax, which adds almost $10,000 to a house that costs a little more than $525,000 (a tax hit, by the way, that dwarfs
the financial impact most people will experience with the HST). The tax has become lucrative to governments — it provides more than $800 million a year — but is hurtful to homebuyers, and makes already expensive homes even costlier. Here’s the parallel to the HST: the tax was introduced just after the 1986 election campaign, during which the Socreds never breathed a word of the hit they were about to unleash on homebuyers. And here’s the irony: the premier who brought in the property transfer tax was none other than Bill Vander Zalm, who is leading the Fight HST group. You can’t make this stuff up!

MP Weston: We will wrestle this deficit
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty handed down a spending plan in Ottawa largely identical to the one tabled in late March, days before the opposition parties brought down the thenminority Conservative government with a noconfidence motion. “The course features keeping taxes low, some stimulus, but a real emphasis on making sure we wrestle this deficit,” Weston said. “The news of course is that the calendar for doing that is accelerated by a year.” Flaherty now hopes to bring spending in line with revenue by the 2014-15 fiscal year, one year sooner than he promised in March. “I think the notion is we need to observe what the rest of the world is doing,” Weston continued. “Other countries are being hoisted on the petard of debt and deficit, and we’re seeing great economic chaos in the United States and several European countries. . . . So in order to try and keep going with the theme of stability, which then furnishes Canadians with the opportunity to set up businesses and keep the economy going, the best thing we can do is
reduce government costs and achieve a neutral budget as soon as possible.” There are no details yet as to where those savings will be found, but Flaherty said the government plans to cut five per cent from each federal department. Weston said the Conservatives would not touch federal transfers to the provinces that fund key services such as health and education. Another change from the March edition of the budget is a $2.2-billion payment to Quebec, which was not offered federal dollars when it adopted the HST, as B.C. and Ontario were. Lastly, the Conservatives promised to phase out the $2-per-vote subsidy offered to federal political parties, a move that outraged the opposition parties when it was attempted in 2009 and was abandoned following the prorogation of Parliament. Critics still argue the cut is an attempt by the Tories to hobble their rivals, a claim Weston didn’t entirely discount. “The argument is understandable,” he said, “but it is transcended in importance by the desire of people to not support a separatist party like the Bloc Québecois with taxpayers’ donations. It saves $30 million of taxpayers’ money, so it’s consistent with a march towards a neutral budget, and many of the people I discussed this with during the election did not like the idea that taxpayers’ money was going towards a party like the Bloc Québecois.” Weston also pointed to larger tax credits available for small businesses, youth entrepreneurs and families caring for sick relatives. Seniors will also see a boost in their Guaranteed Income Supplement, up to $600 for singles and $840 for couples. Weston said introducing a broadly similar budget right after the election gives it a clearer mandate than many previous ones.

Replanting hell’s half acre
SOME time ago, I landed what was very likely one of the worst jobs on earth. (Note to the editor: No, I’m not referring to my current job.)
In terms of personal growth, it may have been the best thing I’ve ever done. Back in the late 1990s, having completed one year of a four-year degree program in, inexplicably, cinema studies and English literature, I found myself in need of summer work. My education to that point had left me with somewhat limited qualifications. After establishing that there were no jobs readily available in sleeping through class, drinking beer or pretending to understand art house cinema, I found an ad for one which, as a person with a brain stem, I was qualified to do: tree planting. I know. Many of you, reading this and thinking back to the summer you bussed at Boston Pizza or whatever, will be thinking: I know all about crummy jobs. Well here’s some news: You don’t. Unless you got a summer gig at the Boston Pizza in hell (“Are your jalapeno poppers spicy?” “They will scour your insides with eternal fire and rend the flesh from your bones!” “Hmm. Maybe I’ll just get a salad.”), I guarantee tree planting was worse. On the day of my interview,
No Laughing Matter
James Weldon
I reported to an office where a gentleman handed me an application form with the intention, as far as I could tell, of establishing whether I could hold objects, and was hired on the spot. A week later, proud and elated, I bought myself some boots and a shovel, and boarded a bus for the remote, lawless region near the British Columbia/Alberta border. The poster had made treeplanting look like a holiday — a group of jovial friends in a relatively sanitary setting smiling in a way that suggested they didn’t immediately want to kill themselves. It didn’t take me long after I arrived to realize this image was misleading. On Day 1, we piled out of the van at the side of a mountain road and stared up in awe at a vast clearing that, by all appearances, had been created when someone had logged a cliff face. Our job, we were told, was to cover it again
in trees without falling off. The foreman gave us a quick rundown of what we needed to know for the day — in simple terms, a list of interesting ways we might die. Top of that list: bears. I understand that working at any normal job, an office say, has its frustrations, but at the end of the day, no matter how badly the photocopier screws up, it’s not going to eat you if you get between it and its young. Not so with tree planting. The foreman explained that if we saw a black bear — not unlikely given that clearcuts fill with all sorts of delicious things in the summer, most of which are on break from university — we should stand our ground, raise our shovels and scream as if we had just seen a black bear. Generally speaking, they’ll back down, he said. Grizzlies on the other hand — which one can tell from black bears because they look more like a roaring brown blur followed by a long dark tunnel with a light at the end — are another matter. Hapless planter: “What do we do if we do if we see a grizzly?” Foreman: “Drop to the ground.” Planter: “Right.” Foreman: “But only as far as your knees. . . .” Planter: “OK.” Foreman: “And make peace with God.” Planter: “That’s not funny.” Foreman: “I’m not joking.

Do you know how bad the jalapeno poppers are in hell?” Planter: “What?” Foreman: “Get to work!” Here’s an interesting fact: One thing people don’t tell you about clearcuts, in those conversations in which people tell you about clearcuts, is how messy they are up close. I’m not overly familiar with the intricacies of logging, but from my experience that summer, it doesn’t appear to involve removing any trees. Instead, the trees are simply broken into jagged pieces the perfect size and shape for tearing off human legs and scattered absolutely everywhere you want to walk. Logging also doesn’t involve installing toilets, I noticed, removing any of the horseflies or leaving you anything to think about besides your own slow descent into insanity. After six weeks, we were called together and told the first good piece of news we had heard since we had arrived: Due to budget cutbacks, we were all fired. The job, however, did have two positive results for me: 1. Environmentally speaking, after having singlehandedly planted more than 40,000 trees — no exaggeration — I basically never have to recycle again. I could fly to work every day in a disposable jet made of spotted owls and Styrofoam and still come out in the green, carbon-wise. See Suffering page 10

INQUIRING REPORTER ON Wednesday, the Canucks’ night was Bruined by Boston. On Wednesday, Vancouver’s night was ruined by, well, Vancouver. The streets of downtown Vancouver were taken over by rioters. Shops were destroyed, cars were burned, tear gas was deployed and some people were severely injured. A 100,000person party quickly turned into a social science experiment on mob violence and social irresponsibility. Find us on Facebook and tell us what you think or add your comment to Inquiring Reporter at www.nsnews.com — Drake Fenton
Bahman Adham Port Coquitlam “We can have big parties if people don’t get carried away. I don’t like this kind of behaviour; it’s OK to cry and be angry, but not this kind of behaviour.”
Can Vancouver continue to organize parties in the street at large events?
Beverly Ball Vancouver “No. I don’t think its possible and I would not support any more venues downtown for big parties. As a citizen, I don’t think I should pay for what happened.”
Julia Rhodes North Vancouver “Yes. If you let people with bad attitudes dictate public events then you miss out on life. You shouldn’t have to stay at home because a few people can’t control themselves.”
Karen Talbot Vancouver “I think we can if all those twits last night grow up. I don’t think that they were old enough to be allowed out on their own for the first time.”

Suffering is good for you From page 9 2. I came to understand I don’t want to be a tree planter.

ROCKRIDGE secondary students have turned a bright idea into 15 new solar panels that will soon be installed on the school’s roof. The school is one of 11 chosen from 51 applicants by the provincial government’s Solar BC initiative to receive a grant of up to $20,000 to install solar panels after three students in the school’s environmental club did the legwork required to sort out the application and get the school staff on side. “We can’t wait to actually see them on the roof and generating power,” said club member Callum Kelpin, who spearheaded the project after seeing an advertisement in the newspaper along with peers Kelsey Dennison and Lisa Tejpar.

KARIN Plato loves the subtle, quiet moments of jazz music, but when she plays the Silk Purse Gallery in the summer with the swing doors wide open, that adds a surprising new element to the music.

Mixed into the background of her songs is the rhythm of the waves washing ashore. It’s one of the reasons the Vancouver-based musician is excited to be playing
the 11th annual Jazz Waves festival for the first time on June 23 in one of 11 shows coming to the Silk Purse this summer. “I’m a rather loud person, I do some loud bluesy things and that’s fun, too, but I really love the quieter moments in music,” she says. “I’ve played there some beautiful summer evenings; it’s gorgeous and doors are open and you can hear the ocean.” The sounds of jazz will be echoing across the sea every Saturday and Thursday until July 23, with a line-up of musicians who hail almost entirely from the Vancouver area, including a number of North Shore talents.

PERFECT FATHER’S DAY GIFT!
RAY Bonneville cites New Orleans as the biggest influence on his music. He is set to release a new album, Bad Man’s Blood, on Red House Records Aug. 30.
An avid reader of both fiction and non-fiction, the Juno Awardwinner finds literature sparks his imagination. “I love Southern writers and I love writers that really tell deep stories and are sparse,” he says. “I like writers that leave something to the imagination of the reader and I try to do that when I write songs too. I try to write it so the listener can make the song their own.” “I’ll see two or three words strung together and they’ll conjure something up out of context from what I’m reading and I’ll start to think about it and then I’ll make a story around it. So literature really does feed my poetic mind,” he adds. Apart from literature, Bonneville also credits his extensive travels and places he’s called home as further inspiration. His current home base is Austin, Texas, though his roots are north of the border. Bonneville was born in Ottawa, Ont., and was raised in Quebec City, until at age 13 his family moved to Boston, Mass. “That’s when I started playing music, during high school,” he says. In the years that followed, Bonneville followed a number of different paths, from joining the military, to flying bush planes in the Quebec wilderness to ultimately opting to pursue music full time. He’s called Montreal, Que.; Boulder, Col.; Alaska; Paris, France; Arkansas; and Seattle, Wash., home to name a few.

Saadiq stretches out on Stone Rollin’ set
■ Raphael Saadiq — Stone Rollin’ (Pookie Entertainment) Rating: 9 (out of 10) On his fourth studio album Raphael Saadiq stretches his musical vocabulary and brings in some new beats. His last album, The Way I See It, oozed with the Motown vibe and garnered him enormous recognition and awards. Stone Rollin’ brings some of that sound along but also veers off into some jazzier tangents. He kicks off the nine-song collection with the pounding, funk-driven song,“Heart Attack,” while “Radio” is all ’60s pop complete with that era’s style of background chorus. The album’s title song slithers down to some blues rhythms that are impossible not to dance along to. “Movin’ Down the Line” would make Stevie Wonder proud as Saadiq sings his love story into an extended plea. This song was one of the highlights of Saadiq’s recent performance at the Commodore as he stretched this number into a jazz-infused improv.

FISH & Bird recorded their new album, Every Whisper is a Shout Across the Void, on Galiano Island. They celebrate its release with a show tonight at The Cultch.
Fish & Bird flesh out sound
Indie folk group build diverse set of tunes from their travels
■ Fish & Bird Every Whisper is a Shout Across the Void CD release party tonight at The Cultch at 8 p.m. Tickets $16. For more information visit www.Fishandbird.ca.
Tessa Holloway tholloway@nsnews.com
IT can be tough to get all five members of Fish & Bird together into one room for a show, let alone an interview. While the band, all friends from since they were teenagers, hail from the West Coast, they’ve now spread as far as Toronto, Winnipeg and soon Boston, so when the time came to call them up for an interview it involved multiple area codes. But when they do get together they don’t goof around. Since university closed in spring, the group has released their third album — their first as a five-piece group — and have driven from Vancouver to Prince Edward Island and back again. The summer schedule only includes a short break back in Vancouver for their CD release party at The Cultch tonight before hitting the road again. “A lot of bands if you live in the same city, you play in the
city a few times a month,” explains the band’s drummer, Ben Kelly, at home in North Vancouver. “But I think in our case, I think everyone understands we do it in chunks, where we’ll have a four month chunk and we’ll tour a lot in that time, and I think that’s sort of understood.” The band began with just Taylor Ashton on banjo and Adam Iredale-Gray on the fiddle, but has slowly grown to include Kelly as well as Zoe Guigueno on stand-up bass and Kelly’s former schoolmate Ryan Boeur on guitar Their latest CD, Every Whisper is a Shout Across the Void, reflects that diversity. While Ashton writes the vocals and the basic melodies, the rest of the band collaborate to flesh out each song into a finished piece, helping the band grow musically and try out some new directions. What started out as very old-timey show has slowly morphed into a varied line-up, and they’ve never written a set-list that couldn’t be tweaked. “We can do an up-tempo dancier side if it’s late in the bar and everyone’s drunk, or if it’s a house concert, we might do some quieter stuff that’s more subtle. We just adapt,” says Guigueno. The recording took place on Galiano Island last year, and mostly included songs that had already been road tested by the group, but also a few new compositions that were the band’s first chance to write as a group. But even while Taylor is influenced heavily by old folk ballads, he says he doesn’t feel comfortable writing in that style,

“I’m just kind of nomadic by nature, I guess, but I’m kind of tired of changing cities now,” he says. “For a long time I lived between the two countries, I’d go back and forth. That got kind of crazy so I’ve got a home base here now but I still go to Canada a lot, I love Canada. I tell everybody I’m Canadian,” he adds. While all of the places Bonneville has visited or lived have left lasting impressions, one city stands out in his mind. “The more you’re exposed to different kinds of people and the way they think and the way they live and their culture, the more richness can go into the lyrics of your music and the more influenced you can be by different rhythms,” he says. “Influence is a very subtle thing. It kind of sneaks in there and you don’t even know it’s in there until it comes out. I’d probably have to say that New Orleans was the biggest influence on me because the music is so rich there.” Bonneville lived in Louisiana for six years in the mid-’80s, working days as a flight instructor at the airport and at nights he played music. The “roaming blues poet” is set to take the stage in North Vancouver Sunday, June 26, at Presentation House Theatre at 8 p.m., part of the Vancouver International Jazz Festival’s North Shore Jazz series. Bonneville has a big summer ahead of him. He’s playing The Big Easy tonight and has a busy summer tour, including a stop at Duncan’s Islands Folk Festival (July 22-24). In the fall, he’ll perform in Australia, Germany and Holland. “I live to play,” he says. Bonneville is set to release a new record, a follow to 2008’s Goin’ By Feel, on Aug. 30. The new album, Bad Man’s Blood, was recorded at Austin’s Shine Studios and will be released by Red House Records. “It’s a very, very sparse recording, not embellished very much,” says Bonneville. “(It features) a lot of good guitar textures and harmonica and some new stories.” Joining him are guitar player and producer Gurf Morlix, drummer Mike Meadows and sax player Dexter Payne. “I had a lot of fun making it,” he says. Bonneville took a different approach than on his last two releases where he recorded the basic tracks with a drummer. “This record I went in by myself and recorded all the songs on guitar and vocal and my foot percussion,” he says. “I’ll be bringing that to the show in Vancouver: I have a piece of wood on the floor with a microphone in it, which gives me some organic percussion. And I recorded all the songs that way. Then when I brought in other people, they were playing to my sense of rhythm, which I’ve come to trust over the years. It gives it a kind of loose, hair uncombed kind of feel.” The first single off of Bad Man’s Blood, “Mississippi,” was released Monday on iTunes. Bonneville also has a solo performance of “It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry” on A Nod to Bob 2, a Red House Records release celebrating Bob Dylan’s 70th birthday. Other artists featured include Hot Tuna, Pieta Brown, Eliza Gilkyson and John Gorka. While busy, Bonneville is pleased to be able to pursue his passion and still find time for the good things in life. “I’m writing songs every day and going fishing whenever I can,” he says. “I’m enjoying my life and I’m looking forward to coming and seeing you guys.” North Shore Jazz celebrates 10th anniversary: The Vancouver International Jazz Festival’s North Shore Jazz series is offering a number of ticketed and free events.

Those immediately recognizable pieces of apparel have an enduring quality but are often connected to an individual who wore them so well that the person and the clothes become inseparable in the public’s mind. Humphrey Bogart in a trench coat, Marlon Brando in black leather jacket and white T-shirt, Sean Connery in a tuxedo, are all examples of film stars who have become icons of style. Author Josh Sims presents a wide range of clothing and provides the history and breakthrough moments for them that put them into the spotlight.

Little Known Facts That Every Homeowner Should Know
BEFORE
Making A Roof Replacement…
Discover what most homeowners don’t know about roofing and how costly mistakes with roofing companies can easily happen. How you can avoid making costly re-roofing mistakes… While a cheaper roof may seem like a good deal, it may actually cost you thousands more over the long haul. One of the most expensive mistakes that many Vancouver homeowners make when choosing a roof replacement is selecting a material that will not withstand the extremes of BC weathering: Strong winds, excessive moisture and salt air. Most common roofing materials can crack, curl, rot, split, discolor, rust or collect moss and mildew in as little as 8 years. Maintenance costs plus replacement costs for these types of roofs is very expensive in the long term.We’re replacing many of these cheaper roofs within 8-12 years (even ones that have a so called “40-year warranty”). A permanent, lifetime roofing system has much better investment value for your home. CBC Marketplace has some interesting video online that showcases some of the problems homeowners are having with cheaper roof products. You can do a Google search for “CBC Marketplace roofing video.”
Beware of shady contractors and poor quality workmanship: Unfortunately just about anybody can call themselves a roofer, hang up their sign and open up a business. The roofing industry is not very closely regulated. Anyone can become a roofer without having to get a “ticket” or go through an apprentice program. Many companies simply train their roofers “on the job.” Make sure to check into the training and certification program for any roofers you hire. Many of these operators are soon out of business. Sadly, many BC roofing companies that get sued for leaks and faulty workmanship can simply shut their company down and startup again with another company name. You’ll want to find a company with a history of quality installations and long list of testimonials and pictures of their flashings and detailing.
How well are you covered in the warranty? MOST roofing companies are not installing directly for a manufacturer; they simply hire subcontractors to install somebody else’s roofing products. If there is a leak or a problem that occurs on your roof, who will take responsibility? What is actually covered in the written warranty? Leaks, color fading, weathering, as well as labor costs and any damages to your property should all be covered. Make sure you get a copy of the warranty before you sign a contract. You should be able to find the warranty on the roofing company’s website. BEWARE: Some companies won’t warranty their skylight flashings unless you replace the skylights, which is really their way to avoid responsibility for their poor quality of workmanship and flashings. Check the warranty for this.
Safety Many roofing companies are NOT COMPLIANT with WCB regulations. Often their roofers are often not even tied-in to the roof when working. What most people don’t know is that if someone falls off the roof or is injured, disabled (or even killed) and they don’t have Workman’s Compensation and Liability insurance, THEY COULD BE PERSONALLY LIABLE. Make sure to check the WCB and General Insurance of the company that installs your roof BEFORE they start working! Keep a copy for your files.
Roofing Fraud A significant source of fraud with bad contractors is when they demand large deposits for the work before they start, then go off and do other work on other jobs and leave your job unfinished. Worse yet is when they take your deposit and then simply disappear. Find out when you can reasonably expect the work to begin and finish. If you have stipulations or requirements regarding this, get it in writing. Make sure you always get a written bid that details the type of materials, flashings and workmanship involved. Find out if there will be any extra or hidden charges.
Sometimes roofing companies will underbid a job just to get in the door, then halfway through the job will tell you that they needed an extra couple of thousand for materials and work. Make sure everything is clearly spelled out in a written contract.
A “Cash Deal” may not be in your best interest. What happens if you’ve paid cash and your roof springs a leak? Without a proper receipt, you may not have proper legal recourse. Besides, do you really want to trust your roofing job to a company that may not be paying their taxes? How long will they be in business if they get caught by Revenue Canada? If your roof fails, you may be out of luck to get it fixed. Leaks can cause expensive damages to your home. Do you really want to take the risk?
Where do roofing leaks typically happen? Leaks that occur in the first few years are most often caused by faulty installation. The majority of leaks will happen around the metal flashings: Endwall, valleys, pipe vents, skylights and chimneys. It’s best to get a roofing system that uses hidden fasteners and not exposed nails or screws. Inspect the company’s workmanship before you sign a contract. Use binoculars or a zoom lens camera to look at the flashings and fittings. Do they use exposed screws or fasteners? Do the flashings and trims color match the roofing materials? Are there any issues with color fading, mildew build up or stains from bird droppings? How will the roof look in 10 years?
“When is the best time to replace a roof?” BEFORE IT LEAKS! How well is your current roof protecting you from expensive leaks? Not all signs of roof decay are visible. It is possible that your roof could already be in the early stages of disintegration right now. That could soon lead to high costs for rot replacement, or even worse, structural damage. Not to mention how roof decay, moss and mildew changes the appearance of your home and decreases its resale value. Perhaps it’s time for a check-up on your roof. Getting an inspection of your attic is the best way to determine if you’re having any leak issues that need immediate attention.
Perhaps it’s time to take a closer look at getting a permanent roof. We’d like the opportunity to earn your trust… and earn your business.

Artistic legacy
A small model of sculptor Ryszard Wojciechowski’s most famous work, North Shore Rhapsody, was on display at Centennial Theatre’s June 1 commemorative event for the artist and his life at the official launch of his website www.ryszardwojciechowski.com.
Free gig kicks things off From page 13
It’s not a large venue, says Silk Purse executive director Sara Baker, and that’s part of the allure. “A large part of the charm here is the fact that you really are so up close and personal with these fantastic musicians. You get to see the fingers on the keyboard and how the guitar is played,” she says. “It’s been growing certainly in popularity and the calibre of artists that we’re able to attract and it’s known in West Vancouver as a summer event and people look forward to it.” New to the festival this year, she adds, is a preview at The Village at Park Royal, where a free outdoor stage will be set up on June 25 at 2 p.m. to give people a taste of what’s playing. Highlights include the fiery vocals of Cella Enestrom, visiting from Sao Paulo, Brazil, in Taba Timba on June 25, to the lively R&B of Soultrax and the soulful voice of Sibel Thrasher, who will sing the songs of greats Aretha Franklin, Etta James and others. From the North Shore, the Juno-nominated gospel trio The Sojourners opened the festival last night, while the K Sisters feature North Shore talent and so does Plato’s band, dubbed Song Amusement Park, in pianist Michael Creber. While few jazz musicians break through to commercial success, Plato said there’s a strong loyal following in the city for it artists. Plato didn’t start singing jazz until her 30s, having grown up on a farm in Alsask, Sask., and studying classical music at the University of Saskatchewan. It was a teacher at Capilano College in the late 1980s who pushed her to sing jazz, and Plato said it just grew on her. In particular, she loves the expressive nature of jazz, how each song doesn’t have to be sung the same every time, and she likes to experiment with her band during performances. “In that moment or those moments there’s a sense of freedom or a bit of risk, because it doesn’t always work out,” she says. “It’s just like baking and you think maybe this time in these cookies I’ll add some nutmeg and see what that does.” She plays a lot of classics audience members will recognize from the Great American Songbook, and she especially loves to choose cheeky and clever songs that will give audience members who pay close attention to the lyrics something to smile about. A full schedule of musicians is available online at www. silkpurse.ca. Tickets, $18/$20, include a glass of wine. Members can also buy a pass to the entire festival for $150. Reservations required by phoning 604-925-7292.

BOOKS
Opening up to a new world of possibilities ■ Irma Voth by Miriam Toews, Alfred A. Knopf, 255 pages, $29.95. The oppressive heat of the Mexican desert weighs as heavily on Irma Voth as the Mennonite culture she was raised in. She struggles to find voice to the ideas that fill her head and in a first act of rebellion marries a local boy. The new life she sought is shattered when her young husband disappears leaving her alone but that loneliness is profoundly upturned by a film crew that rents a neighbouring farmhouse. The wild antics of the crew and the passionate director open Voth’s eyes to a new world of possibilities and she is drawn into the filming. Author Miriam Toews explores the conflicting cultures and emotions of the characters as she follows the production of the movie. As her director waits for the storm he envisions for his movie to arrive, Toews builds a different storm over Voth’s life, one that will force her to find shelter in unexpected places. Voth’s road to self-discovery is as rutted as the dirt track to her house but Toews helps smooth the way with a mix of humour and love. — Terry Peters

Notices of the current real property tax levies have now been mailed. Any property owner who has not received a tax statement should immediately contact their municipal tax office. All owners are responsible for payment of 2011 taxes regardless of whether or not a tax notice is received. New owners must ensure taxes are paid (by themselves or the previous owner). If there is any doubt, check with your municipality. Payment To avoid a late penalty, please be advised that in the event of a postal strike, the due date for property tax payment remains July 4, 2011. To avoid lengthy line-ups at Municipal Hall during a postal strike, please attempt to make payments over the telephone, through internet banking, or in person at a financial institution. If paying your taxes at a financial institution please allow at least two business days for processing your payment. If paying by telephone/Internet banking please allow at least two business days for processing your payment. Payment received by a financial institution on the due date and future dated by the financial institution (next business day) will be considered late and subject to a penalty. Post-dated cheques received in our office prior to July 4, 2011 are acceptable and will be processed by the bank on the date that you have indicated. Taxpayers are encouraged to deliver or mail payments as soon as possible to ensure payment is received on time. If a cheque is returned by your bank for any reason, the payment will not be considered received and a returned cheque charge will be levied. Application for the Provincial Home Owner Grant may be made whether or not the current taxes are paid. It is to your advantage to submit the “application” before the tax penalty date of July 4, 2011 to avoid penalty additions on the grant amount. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE HOME OWNER GRANT APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED IN FULL FOR EACH AND EVERY YEAR IN WHICH YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE GRANT. IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Some banks and credit unions do not accept our paper remittance advice, which is also the Home Owner Grant application. If you are paying your taxes at a bank or credit union, please verify if they will forward the remittance advice/Home Owner Grant application to our office. If they do not accept the Home Owner Grant application, it is important that you mail it to our office or apply online in order to receive the grant and avoid penalty. Apply online for the Home Owner Grant (EHOG) You may claim your Home Owner Grant (if eligible) online for the District of North Vancouver at www.dnv.org/ehog, the District of West Vancouver at www.westvancouver.ca/ehog and the City of North Vancouver at www.cnv.org/ehog. You will need the following reference numbers to access your account: (1) your folio number and (2) your personal access code. You can find both reference numbers on the top portion of your property tax notice. Penalties A 5% penalty will be added to the current taxes outstanding after Monday, July 4, 2011. A further 5% penalty will be added to the current taxes remaining outstanding after September 1, 2011. Is tax deferment an option for you? The Province offers the following property tax assistance programs whereby qualified homeowners may be able to defer taxes on their principal residence while the Provincial Government makes payment on their behalf: !
55 and older, Surviving Spouse, Person with a Disability: if during the tax year you meet any of the criteria that make you eligible for this program you may qualify to defer your taxes;
!
Families with Children: qualifying homeowners who are financially supporting a dependent child (under 18) and have 15% equity in their homes may defer property taxes on their principal residence. Forms and further information on programs are available through your municipal tax office.

Killing time a real art in teen’s world ■ The Art of Getting By. Written and directed by Gavin Weisen. Starring Freddie Highmore and Emma Roberts. Rating: 5 (out of 10)
Julie Crawford Contributing Writer
FORGET the inner city of any major metropole. Forget the corrupting 90210 zip code. If the warnings contained in recent teen movies are to be believed, the last place you want to raise your kids is in the tony boroughs of New York City.

Over-medicated, therapied-to-death, the product of passive parenting, these privileged prep-school kids in such films as It’s Kind of a Funny Story and Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist practically scream out for a return of corporal punishment. It takes about a minute for George (Freddie Highmore) to declare that “we live alone, we die alone.” And only another minute before we want to give him a good smack. George is a senior at posh Morgan Prep School, but has decided that it all is meaningless, homework included. “I’m the Teflon slacker,” he declares proudly, since meds, tutors and therapists have failed to do the trick. He’s cheerfully fatalistic about the whole thing, even when faced with possible expulsion. An artist, George fills his textbooks with doodles instead, with sketches both dark and comical. Emma Roberts is back as the indie object of affection, seducing boys on rooftops (just as she did in It’s Kind of a Funny Story). She’s Sally, the popular, oh-so-bored girl whose dating pool has dried up now that all the older guys have graduated. Time to hang with the weird guy reading Camus in the lunchroom. This is NYC, so no loitering at the gas-and-sip for these teens: George and Sally get noodles, they watch a Louis Malle film, they have pseudo-deep conversations: “What were you like as a child?” asks Sally. “A much better person than I am now,” says George. They’re just friends, inasmuch as George is so infused with

No dire crisis to liven things up From page 26
photo submitted
Forbidden art
IN support of imprisoned Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi, Pacific Cinémathèque is screening four of his films in a retrospective of the director’s work June 17-20. Tonight they screen his most recent feature Offside (above) which won a Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival in 2006. Visit www.cinematheque.bc.ca/in-support-of-jafarpanahi for a complete schedule of films.
SHOWTIMES From page 26 PACIFIC CINEMATHEQUE 1131 Howe St., 604-688-FILM www.cinematheque.bc.ca. In Support of Jafar Panahi While much honoured abroad — they have won major prizes
at Cannes, Venice, Berlin and other festivals — Jafar Panahi’s films frequently have been banned in Iran. In December 2010, despite international pressure, Panahi was convicted on sedition-like charges and sentenced to six years in prison and banned for 20 years from writing or directing films, giving media interviews, or leaving the country. His colleague Mohammad Rasoulof also received a six-year sentence. Screenings of Panahi films June 17-20.
weltschmerz that he can’t muster enough energy to make a move. But is Sally just killing time? One of the film’s more honest scenes comes when Sally’s horny mom (Elizabeth Reaser) cautions her daughter: “Trust me, I’ve played with their affections my whole life. With the good ones though, it’s just not right.” When things inevitably go south, George takes to his room, listening to Leonard Cohen’s “Winter Lady” on repeat. He finds himself with three weeks to go before graduation, and not a shred of work done. His principal (Blair Underwood) and teachers (Alicia Silverstone among them) are torn between acknowledging George’s talent and wanting to throttle him for his lack of respect. These kids do have problems: George’s mom (Rita Wilson) seems oblivious that her husband isn’t going into the office each day. Sally’s mom makes inappropriate overtures to her daughter’s friends. Some of the popular kids at school are dumped in highend condos by absentee parents, left to fend for themselves. But like the lives of these kids, there is no dire crisis to liven things up, no clear epiphany on George’s part. And, more crucially, there’s not enough of a bond between George and Sally to indicate a future together. Writer/director Gavin Weisen’s boring-as-blancmange script fails to capture the tumult of teenagehood. There’s a moment when Sally says “this isn’t the end for us” (a more credible end-point to the story) but even at an underfed 83 minutes we wish the end had come sooner.

Band went for a concert feel on new record From page 19
about riding the railroads or rural life. The songs reflect their shared experience, and influences that run from traditional musicians to Tom Waits, who inspired the name of the band with one of his songs. “I’m trying to figure out how to get at that feeling I get from those traditional songs without going for a pastiche,” he said. “You hear people who have obviously never ridden on freight trains and things like that and they’re singing about it.
It becomes so tired and it almost loses its meaning in a way.” He says they tried to give the feeling of listening to a concert in their CD, and that is where the band shines. Without a major label to back them up, they get the word out by racking up lots of kilometres every summer, and so far it seems to be working. People who saw them in half-empty coffee shops years ago are starting to bring their friends, says Ashton. So, at least while the band is all in the same place, there’s plenty more shows to play.

John Goodman jgoodman@nsnews.com
THOMAS Padon, the Vancouver Art Gallery’s director of International Relationships, spent several years working with surrealist scholar Dawn Ades on The Colour of My Dreams, the largest surrealist exhibit ever presented in Canada. The new show, featuring many iconic masterpieces among the 350 works, is on view in the gallery through the summer. Padon spoke to the North Shore News about the logistics of putting together a show of this size.
North Shore News: What was involved in creating the show? I understand it took a long time. Thomas Padon: It was a long time. It was a little over three years but that actually is an accelerated timeline for such a major show. Usually a show like this can take more like four to five years. It started with our desire to have a major surrealism show. In looking at what had been done in Canada it was clear there had never been a comprehensive exhibition of surrealism. We found that a very exciting opportunity and there’s this thread that runs through the show concerning the interest the surrealists had in the indigenous art of the Pacific Northwest. Knowing that we wanted to do a surrealism show there really is no better person than Dawn Ades so I went to London to speak to her about our idea for an exhibition and to see if she would be interested. She really is the foremost scholar of surrealism and she’s very in demand because there’s a lot of surrealism projects around the world. We brought her to Vancouver a few months later so that she could see the art gallery and talk to the staff and get a sense of the place. Very soon she was on board and she and I started doing research on what would work to put in the exhibition and that started the whole process of the loan negotiation. You saw the calibre of the work in the exhibition — these were very difficult loans. Each one of them takes a lot of initial contact with the owner of the work. These works are really in demand, so you have to make a case for why you need that work in your exhibition. There are about 67 lenders to the exhibition and that aspect of the show was a major part of that three-year period. North Shore News: Were any particular galleries or collectors particularly important sources? Thomas Padon: Timothy Baum in New York has one of the foremost collections in the world. He does not lend often, let alone this much, but he had known Dawn briefly and he has a lot of respect for her work, and then he also responded to the seriousness of purpose of this exhibition. He lent over 50 works to the exhibition and he has extraordinary things. And museums like the Israel Museum, the Metropolitan, SFMOMA, the Baltimore Museum all leant over eight works. People were really extraordinarily generous. North Shore News: There’s a wide range of work showing the diversity of surrealism and its context. Thomas Padon: It was one of the daunting aspects actually — how do you show something as huge as surrealism and have it make sense without it being overwhelming. That was one of the challenges we had in the exhibition although it was one of the fun aspects as well — to figure out how we would organize these works.

ANDRÉ Breton’s Paris apartment at 42 rue Fontaine in 1968 showing some of his art collection, including masks and other works from the Pacific Northwest, which fascinated the surrealists. I think Dawn came up with a brilliant idea in the provocative opening gallery juxtaposing the Max Ernst and the De Chirico paintings with those two Kwakwaka’wakw works. Once you get past that gallery then you are introduced to who the surrealists were, with Paris as the centre of surrealism. I think there is a flow that is thematic but in each of the themes it looks at some of the processes that the surrealists pioneered, like automatism, which was a way for them to get in touch with their subconscious mind. North Shore News: Each room takes off on a different theme. Thomas Padon: It does — a different theme or a different process. There’s a section that’s very close to the title of the show, The Colour of my Dreams, where we have that iconic 1925 Miro painting which he titled This is The Colour of My Dreams. That section really looks at the way painters responded to the exercise of automatism but translated it to painting. The Cadavre Exquis gallery is not really a theme so much as a process. It shows the surrealist’s sense of humor at the same time it shows how they were very interested in coming up with ways to really tap into the subconscious mind. There were these games where they folded pieces of paper and they didn’t see what was on the other side of the fold and they would hand it around and then fold it up again and then unravel it to reveal these bizarre juxtaposition of images which goes right to the heart of the surrealist approach.
North Shore News: Most of the show is necessarily Europeanbased work but one room is devoted entirely to American iconoclast Joseph Cornell. Thomas Padon: You can never do an exhibition “of surrealism.” Even at MOMA and the Met there’s always been kind of a defining parameter because surrealism is so huge and it went on for many decades all around the world. Our presentation is basically surrealism in Europe with a bit of the response to when the surrealists came to New York during the war, and then to Mexico but that’s a very small part. The focus is definitely Europe but we thought it would be interesting to have this room of Joseph Cornell right after the section we have devoted to objects because Cornell saw these surrealist objects when they were displayed. He saw collages by Max Ernst and was very profoundly moved by these works and they inspired his own art. There is this sort of dreamlike quality to Cornell’s work. It’s almost like a little mini-retrospective of Cornell’s work in that gallery including this astounding work called The Crystal Cage, which kind of sums up Cornell’s interests and his inventiveness and the visual poetry in his own work. North Shore News: Was it difficult to obtain some of the pieces in the show? Thomas Padon: It was difficult to obtain almost all of the pieces. See Key page 31

Key surrealist works loaned to the gallery From page 30
These were not easy loans. Dawn has a really stellar reputation as a very serious scholar and also a really delightful person and then I think people responded to what we were doing. When I spoke to them during the loan negotiations I think they really did respond to the seriousness of purpose of this exhibition. They were all difficult loans but I think people were extraordinarily generous. North Shore News: I realize you had a hand in bringing everything here but are there any pieces in the show that are of particular interest to you? Thomas Padon: There are so many works but there are a couple as I walk through that really catch my eye. The two Personage sculptures by Louise Bourgeois, I don’t even know what to say — they’re so beautiful and have such grandeur at the end of the exhibition because they are kind of in the sightline as you walk towards the last gallery. There’s also a painting by Masson of Ophelia, which just continued to astound me. Every time I walked by I saw new things or even more appreciation for the composition, the colour and the psychological intensity. There’s an untitled, very early painting, by Salvador Dalí from 1927. You probably saw it. It’s a monumental painting from the Reina Sofía in Madrid and it’s just an astounding work. We all have a certain idea of Dalí, which is that later period when he started doing the type of work that is right across from that painting in the later 1920s and early 1930s. But this work is really the pivotal moment where Dalí is responding to surrealism, responding to Miro in particular, and I think it’s just a brilliant painting. It’s just as fresh and startling today as when it was painted. See Surrealists page 32

Surrealists soaked it all up From page 31
North Shore News: How does the First Nations material fit into the scheme? Thomas Padon: The surrealists thought a lot about certain cultures in the world because they were very disaffected with European culture, especially in the years leading up to the war. Certainly with the outbreak of the war many of them felt that European culture had really come to an end and was morally bankrupt. Breton and many of the other surrealists thought a lot about indigenous cultures in other parts of the world, particularly Oceania, British Columbia and Africa, and so it made sense for us to treat this in the exhibition. Many of the surrealist artists started collecting First Nations work from British Columbia, Alaska and Washington state. Breton had a huge collection that he sold in 1931 but then he started forming another collection after that. The surrealists wrote about photo The Rohauer Collection British Columbia and it was a place that loomed large in their imagination. They AN American in Paris: Man Ray in a still from the 1926 work Emak-Balia felt that the masks and other material (Leave Me Alone) screening with other films in a section of the exhibit. that they were seeing really spoke to works there, such as photographs that Seligmann took on his trip. them. He was actually there to acquire works for the Musée de l’Homme They didn’t know that much about the aboriginal people per collection in Paris. We have photos that have never been seen in se but they had enormous respect for this work and really thought an exhibition. Also a painting called Alaska that responds to the about these works as individual works of art, which was a different northwest landscape. way of thinking of these works at the time.Usually they were seen What you don’t see is really an influence on their art. The as more anthropological and together they would be taken as a surrealists weren’t that literal visually, for instance, they didn’t symbol of a culture. look at an Oceanic mask and later you’d see it worked into their The surrealists were really taken by the individual maker of composition as a motif.

2011 Chevrolet Camaro
Car’s return revives old rivalry
David Chao and Bob McHugh Contributing writers
THE big news from the Camaro camp is a power upgrade to its base V6 engine for model year 2011.
Columnist DAVID CHAO reviews the 2011 Nissan Juke in next week’s Rev section.
Chevrolet engineers have managed to squeeze 312 horsepower out of the 3.6-litre engine so that it now outpowers the base engines in the Ford Mustang and the Dodge Challenger. If you were around for the first go-around of “muscle-car war” back in the late ’60s and early ’70s, you probably experienced something nostalgic to that announcement. These days, however, auto manufacturers also have to keep an eye on fuel economy, and the base engine is the big seller. Beneath the attractive return-to-roots styling exercise of the fifth generation Camaro is a sophisticated rear-drive chassis, two powerful engine choices and some advanced technology engineering. And while it may benefit from nostalgic, buyAmerican sentiment south of the border, it was engineered in Australia and is built in Canada. The re-emergence of Camaro has also revived an old head-to-head rivalry with the Ford Mustang. In addition to its lead in V6 engine power, the new Camaro also offers the advantages of a fully independent rear suspension, a longer wheelbase and a wider track. The Camaro LS and LT models come with that potent, direct-injection V6 engine, which it borrowed from the Cadillac CTS. This engine is mated to either a six-speed manual or an optional six-speed automatic (with a manual mode) transmission. Flat-out acceleration to 100 kilometres/ hour takes about six seconds, which is impressively fast. The top-line Camaro SS has

BENEATH the return-to-roots styling of the fifth generation Camaro is a sophisticated rear-drive chassis, two powerful engine choices and advanced technology engineering. It’s available at Carter GM Northshore, located at 800 Automall Dr., in North Vancouver. a mighty 6.2-litre V8 engine (from the Corvette), which can churn out 425 h.p. with a six-speed manual and 400 h.p. with the optional six-speed automatic. It can get to 100 km/h in less than five seconds, which is super-car territory. Compared to the original ’67, the new Camaro is longer, wider and taller. It has bigger wheels, which come in 18-inch to 21-inch rim sizes, and these also account for a small increase in overall height. Regardless of the rim size ordered for the new Camaro, its tire-to-body gap is always the same so that it doesn’t detract from the overall look of the vehicle.
My test Camaro was an LT-equipped with a Rally Sport (RS) $1,995 package. This adds 20-inch wheels, Xenon headlights, a rear spoiler, unique tail lights and the RS badge. The headlights come with a unique halo ring feature that gives a very cool visual effect. The looks My Inferno Orange test Camaro was quickly dubbed Lightning McQueen like the Cars movie character. Its shark nose, blacked-out grille and extra-long hood are important Camaro design traits. The hood is aluminum and has a power dome that looks cool but is not functional.
The Camaro also has a shapely rear-end with muscular hips. The entire rear and side body section is a unique one-piece metal stamping. The RS appearance package on my test Camaro includes high-intensity discharge headlights with LEDilluminated halo rings that add even more distinction. The inside The steering wheel has a manually adjustable tilt and telescopic feature and the front seats are generous in size and offer good support. The dash and instrument panel, however, are not on par with its terrific external styling. The retro-theme just
doesn’t seem to work as well on the inside. There’s a lack of warmth and visual interest, with excessive use of same-colour trim and plastic. The lack of handy storage spots around the cabin, other than its good-sized glove box, was another disappointment. The rear seat legroom is tight and headroom is limited, which is not unusual in this class of coupe. Still, it’s handy to have if only for storage, but avoid having to sit back there. There’s also a pass-through to the trunk behind its drop-down seatback if you need to transSee Headroom 44

Mitsubishi sets its sights Porsche club hosts show auto event
I-MiEV’s low starting price to appeal to buyers A weekly round-up of automotive news, good, bad and just plain weird. Mitsubishi Announces iMiEV Pricing for Canada Sometimes it’s all too easy to forget about Mitsubishi as, after Suzuki, it’s among the smallest of the Japanese automakers. While its monstrous brethren stump around the landscape like Godzilla (Nissan) and Mothra (Toyota), Mitsubishi rarely grabs your attention unless it’s with some wild record set by the giant-killing EVO rally car for the street. But the diamond-star has been around the block more than a few times and back in Japan, it’s a major force in the small car market. While the giants duke it out with supercar projects and fullsize pickup wars, Mitsubishi has quietly come out with a secret weapon. It’s the all-electric i-MiEV, and despite its fragile, egg-like appearance and alphabet-soup name,
Grinding Gears
Brendan McAleer Nissan should be worried. With their much-hyped Leaf poised to bow in Canada at a hair under $39,000, buyers interested in getting into the EV market will certainly be checking out Mitsubishi’s zero-emissions car: it’s going to list at $32,998. So what do you get for the same price as a fullyloaded Toyota Camry? Well, it’s sort of like a car, really: four doors, heated seats and Bluetooth. What you won’t get is a great deal of range with only 135 kilometres per charge, but for most city dwellers, this should be more than enough. The question remains: when the i-MiEV and the Leaf actually get out into the real world, which (if either) will prove to be the
most practical, inexpensive and environmentally-sensible choice? MIT Students Invent Electric Gas Of course, choosing either the Leaf or i-MiEV is going to come with the same drawbacks of any all-electric vehicle: limited range as compared to conventional or hybrid cars and long recharge times. Even assuming charging stations were evenly spaced out along highway corridors, having to stop every 100 km or so and spend four or five hours fuelling up your car could be tedious. Students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have a simple solution: electric gasoline. Well, I say “simple.” Hopefully some bespectacled nerd doesn’t beat me to death with a clipboard for belittling hours of her brainsweat. Here’s how the theory works. Ignoring conventional lithium and nickel-hydride tech, the MIT boffins have developed a battery that works via semi-solid flow cells where chargedelectrolyte solution can be pumped between storage and discharge containers. I don’t understand any
of that. What I can pick up, and what you should find exciting, is that this new type of battery allows for greater charging capacity that will potentially triple the range of your normal EV, and it should theoretically be possible to pump in a pre-charged solution to an exhausted battery, just like you now do at the gas station. Such equipped vehicles would still be chargeable in the normal manner, but adding quick-stop functionality to the electric car could change everything about the way you now drive. Watch for a working prototype in about 18 months and for OPECsponsored ninja-assassins shortly thereafter.

a little further ahead of the driver, which can make it more difficult to see overhead traffic lights if you’re first in line. All is forgiven when you step on the gas pedal and hit the road. While Mustang uses a traditional rigid rear axle, the Camaro has a more sophisticated independent link suspension setup with coil springs and an isolated sub-frame. It’s a difference that gives a twisty road advantage to the Camaro. A surprisingly good handling sports car, the Camaro is a hoot to drive, as its V6 has more than enough power for most drivers. Its engine makes all the right noises for a discerning sports car lover, and eagerly revs to its 7,000 rpm limit, yet still gets decent fuel economy.

Headroom, however, is an issue for taller drivers, particularly if it has the sunroof option.

Apple drops drunk driving checkpoint app
From page 43
out through the interwebs faster than you can say, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” Another major consequence of our hive-mind hyperconnectivity is the existence of apps like Trapster, which allow users to share the locations of speed traps and drinking and driving checkpoints. Well, no longer, says Apple. After lobbying from interested parties, Apple will no longer be supporting any kind of technology that has the ability to warn of drinking and driving stops. Kudos to them, say I. In fact, I almost wish they had an app to report potential Weaving Stephens and Swervin’ Mervins out there. However, running into a tree while texting a dangerous driver’s licence plate could be embarrassingly fatal. Hit 400,000 km on Quaker State Oil and Win I don’t know how much you think about what brand of oil you put in your car; perhaps you just let the service
department worry about that sort of thing. Myself, I’ve always felt that an oil change is the cheapest repair you can do to a car, so why not go for the good stuff? If you’re interested, I personally vacillate between Mobil, Pennzoil and Quaker State. If you also can’t pick just one, here’s a little bonus that may win you over. If your car reaches 400,000 km while running on any of the Quaker State oil products that are enhanced for higher mileage cars, the big Q will reward you with the trade-in value of your car. Now here are all the catches. First, you can’t just dump a quart of Quaker in at 399,999 km and hope to claim your prize. You need to have signed up for something called the Quaker State Lubrication Limited Warranty, and been using nothing but Quaker State (and again, only the specific high-durability products) in your car starting at 140,000 km. Secondly, the cash reward is up-to a
