TIME TO RETHINK DRUG POLICY

The so-called “War on Drugs” has more than just failed. It has spawned a crime culture so much a part of our current civilization that without it we wouldn’t recognize our current existence.

It is futile to suggest that you can stop people

from finding drugs. If you smugly think that punishing users and traffickers is going to have any effect, you are delusional.

The current rash of fentanyl overdoses, and now that the media reports that our technology makes it even easier for illicit products to be concocted and distribut-

ed, demands our governments to act.

Legalize and control the production and distribution, and availability, of all drugs in a systemized manner. Invest the policing/incarceration budgets into product control and rehab.

Our current system is a nightmare. Considering

I was nearly hit by a car while crossing the street legally at a corner.

Another car coming the opposite direction had stopped, but this driver decided to drive around me and honk as if she had the right of way.

For the benefit of ignorant drivers (and some cyclists) who don’t know the law, there is a crosswalk at every intersection whether lines are painted on the pavement or not. If you don’t know the rules or you are too much of a bully to think they apply to you, do the rest of us a favour and stay off the road until you come to your senses.

Grant Lawrence’s wedding rules Grant Lawrence Vancouver Shakedown @GrantLawrence

Everybody knows there’s two seasons in Vancouver: the rainy season and the wedding season. Between mid-May and mid-September, hundreds of hopeful couples will legally tie the knot, everywhere from Prospect Point to Wreck Beach. Rejoice! I’m here to help you get your big day right.

PLAN B

The last Saturday in May is typically the beginning of marriage season.This year it happened to rain all day long on Saturday, May 28. I know of at least two weddings that were washed out in Stanley Park, one of them not having an indoor Plan B! Heels and mud don’t mix.We still live in a rainforest. Plan for an indoor alternative no matter what your wedding date.

MIND THE GAP

Take all of your lame wedding photos before your guests arrive to avoid the ridiculous “wedding gap” that often occurs between the ceremony and the reception.Where are 150 people dressed in their Sunday best supposed to go on Bowen Island for three hours while you awkwardly pose in your gown and tux down on the beach?

FUEL FOR THE MASSES

Unless your entire wedding is going to be under an hour, you must must must feed your guests an entire sit down meal, along with plenty of snack options before and after.

With the cost of weddings in 2016 cresting an average of $35,000, many couples cheap out on food, thinking cheese and crackers at standing bar tables will suffice.They won’t.

If you don’t provide a meal, your guests will quickly get drunk, hangry, and indignant.They will be ordering pizza to the parking lot during the speeches. And the only potluck at a wedding should be the medicinal marijuana in your midnight brownies.

SPEAKERS CORNER

Don’t skip the speeches!

The speeches are my sentimental wife’s favourite part of any wedding.Why? Because there’s something about a wedding that brings out a raw and honest love that is

so rarely spoken in every day life, from speakers who aren’t usually behind a microphone.

And if there’s a drunken mother-in-law-trainwreckspeech, all the better, really.

Just avoid the open mic.

BEER ME BELOVED

There’s nothing worse than a wedding in full swing suddenly running out of booze.

My only mathematical gift is to be able to eyeball exactly the correct amount of alcohol needed for a large number of people. I have literally saved wedding days by making emergency booze runs before the party has even started, just by looking at their stack of beer behind the bar. Always budget for more booze than you think they’ll ever drink.

And buy local.

LET’S DANCE

Couples trying to save costs by creating an iTunes playlist instead of hiring a DJ or a live band usually have great intentions but ultimately fail.

Here’s the secret to a packed wedding dance floor from start to finish: most of us dance to what we recognize.

At your wedding, you must respect the multi-generations in attendance.Therefore, plan your playlist chronologically through the ages and don’t let anyone mess with it. Start with hit tunes from the 1950s and ‘60s for the old-timers, then slowly progress into the 1970s, ‘80s, ‘90s, and 2000s.

Schedule one slow dance number for every four upbeat songs. By the time you get to the Black Keys and Robin Thicke ‘round midnight, the grandparents have gone to bed and you can really blur the lines between the bride and the bridesmaids.

INDIENONO

Most crowd sourcing is obnoxious to begin with, so don’t you dare even think about Kickstarting your wedding or honeymoon. Instead, drop a private line to maybe your best man or maid of honour to organize a larger wedding gift from a group of friends.We once surprised my best friend and his wife on their wedding night with a honeymoon to Hawaii that 20 of us all chipped in on.

Much more memorable than a collapsible salad bowl from Canadian Tire.

Follow these simple planning vows, invite me to your wedding, and congratulations in advance on a perfect day! W

The city continues to ramp up its legal fight against illegal marijuana dispensaries and plans to seek court injunctions against an additional 38 pot shop operators and their landlords.

A week ago, the city announced it filed the necessary paperwork in BC Supreme Court to seek injunctions against 17 pot shop operators who continue to operate in defiance of the city’s new business licence regulations.

“We’re serious,” said Andreea Toma, the city’s chief licensing inspector.

But that seriousness will have to be tested in the courts and could take some time before hearing dates are scheduled. An injunction would give the city a court order to force an operator to shut down a dispensary.

If an operator dismissed the order, the city could then go back to court and seek to have the operator hit with heavy fines or even jailed.

Though the city has been issuing tickets to operators, the court action includes the city going after landlords.

For example, court documents filed by the city against the BC Pain Society at 2908 Commercial Dr. include operator Chuck

Chuck Varabioff of The BC Pain Society dispensary holds one of the nine $250 tickets the city issued him for operating without a business licence. Dan Toulgoet photo Varabioff, his numbered company (1018580 BC Ltd.) and landlords Michael and Tatyana Gertsoyg.

“It’s their responsibility to ensure that who they have in their commercial space is required to have a business licence,”Toma said.

Varabioff said he wasn’t aware his landlords were named in the documents. He called it a “scare tactic” and said the Gertsoygs support him “a million per cent.”

Late last year, the city informed Varabioff and dozens of other dispensary operators to close their doors by April 29.The deadline came after the society lost a Board of Variance appeal to remain open.Varabioff has since requested a judicial review of the board’s decision.

Meanwhile, he continues to operate his pot shop and the city issued him nine $250 tickets for operating without a business licence.

“I figured once they filed the injunction, that’s it and then we’d wait for the courts to decide it,” he said. “But, no, they came in every single day last week and they ticketed me.”

ANOTHER RECORD MONTH FOR REAL ESTATE SALES

The real estate market across Metro Vancouver continues to break records, and the number of homes sold last month reached the highest level ever seen in the month of May, according to new

Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) data.

A total of 4,769 homes changed hands in May, which is a 17.6 per cent jump compared with the 4,056 homes sold in May 2015 and 35.3 per cent above the 10-year average. It is down 0.3 per cent compared with April, however, when 4,781 homes were sold.The benchmark sales price reached $889,100, up 29.7 per cent compared with a year ago.

“Home sellers are becoming more active in recent months, although that activity is being outpaced by home buyer demand today,” said REBGV president Dan Morrison. “Economic and job growth in Metro Vancouver is outperforming most regions in the country.This is helping to underpin today’s activity.”

For detached properties alone, the benchmark price increased 36.9 per cent year-over-year, reaching $1,513,800.West Vancouver had the highest benchmark sales price in the region at $3,442,100, which is an increase of 34.7 per cent over the past year. A total of 1,865 homes of this type were sold across Greater Vancouver in the month, which was up 8.2 per cent compared with 12 months ago.

Oceans of reasons to protect what we love David Suzuki Science Matters

@DavidSuzuki

June 8 marks World Oceans Day, but what if we celebrated oceans every day? Covering more than 70 per cent of Earth’s surface, oceans, more than anything, define our small blue planet. We should celebrate their complex and vibrant ecosystems, lifesustaining services, calming effects and unimaginable diversity, much of which we have not yet even discovered.

Summer is an especially rich time for ocean life. As days grow longer here in the northern hemisphere, abundance builds from the microscopic level as photosynthesis triggers phytoplankton to bloom, providing food for zooplankton such as krill.

Krill then feed small fish like herring and sand lance, which in turn feed larger fish, dolphins and whales.

This marine food web relies on a scale of unfathomable interconnectedness – yet it’s easily disrupted.

Climate change, overfishing, pollution, industrial activity, shipping and events like El Niño are putting oceans under stress like never before. Sea levels are rising, fish migrating, oceans acidifying, coral

reefs bleaching and phytoplankton disappearing, and populations of iconic marine mammals like killer whales are plummeting.

The news for oceans hasn’t been good lately, and that worries Canadians. It’s not just coastal communities that are defined and affected by oceans. Canada has the longest coastline in the world, and people throughout Canada want the seas, and all the marine life they support, to be healthy.

Fortunately, solutions to many ocean woes are within our grasp, although governments have been frustratingly slow to act over the past decade. Canada could protect marine areas, restore protective laws, conserve wild salmon and control open net-pen fish farms.

Our country’s commitment to protect 10 per cent of its marine environment by 2020 is a good start, but if we followed countries like Australia and the US, we’d aim higher. Canada could act to transform its reputation from laggard to leader on marine protection, plan for ocean management with an understanding of how ecosystems work and incorporate traditional Indigenous knowledge to give wildlife a chance to thrive.

Pacific salmon, crucial to West Coast ecosystems, are

especially in need of protection, but their numbers continue to decline. Few natural events are as dramatic and moving as millions of salmon returning from the oceans to spawn in streams, rivers and lakes. Driven by the imperative to reach spawning beds before their genetically programmed deaths, salmon fight past predators, hooks, nets and pollution, retaining the power to leap river barriers shortly before their lives end. Bears, eagles and other wildlife feed on the salmon, leaving their nitrogen-rich wastes to fertilize the magnificent coastal rainforests.

For almost 40 years, Canadian laws protected fish such as salmon and the water bodies where they live and spawn. The Fisheries Act was one legal tool to protect lakes and rivers, which offer benefits such as clean drinking water to nearby communities. But the federal government removed habitat protections from the act in 2012. Fish that aren’t part of a defined, often commercial, fishery will remain vulnerable until protection is reinstated.

We still have much to learn about wild salmon, but we can take some practical steps to support them. A lot of time and money, about $37 million, was spent on

one of the most comprehensive reviews of Pacific salmon management ever undertaken. It’s been four years since BC Supreme Court Justice Bruce Cohen completed his Inquiry into the Decline of Sockeye Salmon in the Fraser River, yet few of his recommendations have been implemented. Fish biologists say that Canada’s Wild Salmon Policy, adopted in 2005, also offers good management measures, but it isn’t being followed either.

Salmon face other threats.

Concerns over disease spread from salmon farms to wild salmon were heightened recently with the discovery of a new pathogen in farmed salmon. The virus connected to this disease plagues Norway’s farmed salmon and is now common in penned Atlantic salmon and wild fish near BC fish farms.

Salmon are often indicators of the overall health of the ecosystems in which they live. When marine ecosystems are healthy, they provide food, jobs, recreation and culture. They are foundational life forces for whales, bears, eagles, forests and humans. We should celebrate their life-giving capacity by treating them with respect – not just on World Oceans Day, but every day! x Learn more at DavidSuzuki.org. W

STRUT steps up for 2nd round

(L-R) André Marcotte, Catarina Moreno, Laura Auvé, Carl Meadows, Maria Egorova and Chad Walters will don their heels to STRUT along Sunset Beach this Saturday, raising funds and awareness for LGBT refugees.

Dan Toulgoet photo

KRISTYN ANTHONY @allovthethings

The emails come from Jordan, Dubai, and wartorn Syria. They come from places like Jamaica where members of the LGBT community are living in fear and in silence and in violence, sometimes at the hands of their own families.

The emails say “thankyou,” they say, “I need your help” and they say, “please, I’ve got to get out of here to save my life.”

For over a year, requests have flooded the inboxes of board members and volunteers of the Foundation of Hope, the registered non-profit charity behind last year’s immensely successful STRUT campaign that raised $45,000 to help LGBT refugees and newcomers.

The STRUT walk-a-thon returns to Sunset Beach for its second year June 11, backed by a bigger, stronger and more diverse foundation, having responded to feedback from within the LGBT community at large.

The iconic stiletto maintains the idea that walking “a mile in heels is easier than a lifetime in the closet.”

“FOH’s sole mission is to raise funds and to disperse funds,” explains Catarina Moreno, one of FOH’s newest board members.

“From the money raised, we want to connect with as many organizations across Canada that are assisting LGBT refugees and newcomers.”

That includes nonLGBT charities that help recent immigrants make the transition to Canadian life. Moreno says there can sometimes be a chasm between mainstream organizations and queer ones despite fundamental similarities in what each tries to achieve for new Canadians.

Among them is Vancouver’s MOSAIC, an organization serving immigrant communities in BC, who received funding from FOH for LGBT programming that provides multilingual,

culturally-sensitive individual and group clinical counselling.

Housing is the number one issue faced by all refugees, says Moreno, and without it a multitude of problems can arise, making it more difficult to learn English, make friends, or get a job.

“Housing is so essential,” she stresses. “Without a safe and secure place to go home at night, everything else can quickly fall apart.”

Inland Refugee Society is another benefactor of FOH funds, whose work in Richmond has secured such housing for refugees. While they are not a queer-specific organization, their goal is to use the money to improve training and translation services, to stock up on resources, and to connect with other organizations to better serve their LGBT population.

And just one year in, the foundation is operating on a national level. Rainbow Railroad in Toronto was able to secure FOH funds to help relocate a young gay man in Jamaica who was physically attacked for his work with LGBT. And a young woman in Uganda was able to escape the sexual violence of “corrective therapy” when Rainbow Railroad helped her escape to western Europe.

With the world now watching, FOH co-founder Carl Meadows says Canada should be a world leader in welcoming LGBT refugees given the comparative safety and freedom the LGBT community experiences here.

“Let’s not forget,” he says. “The freedom to be different comes with the privilege to be free.” W

Home Is Where The Art Is: Rayne Voyer Jennifer Scott A Good Chick to Know

@Jennifer_AGCTK

One of the most essential elements of successful design is a sense of story. Incorporating pieces that have a history to richen the mood of the décor is fundamental in creating a beautifully inviting space. Local artist Rayne Voyer draws from her lifetime of creative and spiritual influence to transform found oddities into art, using mixed media to create treasures for the home with a mystical appeal.

Launching June 26, Rayne will be hosting a monthly pop-up curios shop within her studio to offer her creations to the public.The boutique,Witch Merchant, will showcase and retail her curated collections of antiques, oddities and fashion. Doors will be open from noon to 6pm on the last Sunday of each month at her studio at 834 East Pender.

Tell us a little about yourself…

I am an artist of various

Artist Rayne Voyer curates a monthly pop-up curio shop at her Strathcona studio. Dan Toulgoet photos mediums, but my passion lies within creating beauty out of the seemingly ordinary. For me art is a lifestyle, not a career – I grew up in an artistic home, and now as an adult I’ve recreated that for myself and spend a lot of time in my home/ studio creating and curating.

Do you have a Vancouver muse? Or a favourite place in or around the city that inspires you?

Ultimately, Mother Nature is my muse. Around the city

there are a few places that inspire me: I love the train tracks, they are a great place to find treasures to make art with. The Strathcona neighbourhood is my home and offers the solace and community to nurture my soul.

therefore each piece appeals to everyone individually.

If you could describe your artistic style in one word, what would it be?

Fluid. My craft applies to all kinds of art, not just one medium, so it’s always changing. My work offers a ritualistic element and

Some people collect old cameras and typewriters. Do you collect anything?

I collect everything… vintage bottles, crystals, books – essentially Witch Merchant is a curated version of all of my collections.

What is your favourite accessory?

A black chihuahua. No, kidding (sort of). I love things that are old with a story to tell.

Who is your idol or mentor?

My parents. My father was a creator and my mother was a collector.We grew up in the woods, in a small town. My parents taught me to create from nature – my dad would make us kids whistles from sticks or bones… it taught me to see the beauty and artistic potential in everything.

Is there one area of your craft you find especially challenging?

Marketing. The creating comes naturally, but I’m shy

so sharing it or promoting it becomes the challenge. I think this is a learning curve for many artists – to learn to embrace both your creative spirit and business sense.

What do you wish more people knew about artists?

That things take time. Inspiration doesn’t work with the clock.

Do you have a favourite creative space?

My living room; this space, this shop, my home. W

Italian fashion giants know how to caress a woman’s curves Niki Hope Style File

@NikiMHope

The epitome of Italian style at Versace spring/summer 2016.

To start with, it’s sexy, but never vulgar. It can be quirky, but fit is always central to its appeal. And tailoring and quality fabric are everything.

Those are the opinions of fashion expert Micarl Lim, a buyer for Vancouver retail clothing institution Leone, on what sets Italian fashion apart.

“But definitely for me, Italian clothing is the way things are fit on the body – it’s the way they tailor, it’s the way they cut, and, of course, they have superior fabrics,” says Lim, who regularly travels back and forth to Europe to stock the high-end store that has had a presence on the city’s fashion landscape since 1987.

The Italian lines are broad – ranging from the whimsy of Prada and Marni to sultry lines like Versace and Dolce & Gabbana – but all have an enduring ethos of quality craftsmanship – much like Italy’s food, art, and culture.

Lim’s favourite Italian

luxury line is Brunello Cucinelli, a more casual collection made with “scrumptious” fabrics. It’s definitely investment dressing, she says, but is worth every penny if you value quality threads that will endure season after season.

“I travel a lot … comfort is key,” explains Lim, who recently returned from a trip to Italy and says many of the stylish women – from ages 15 to 80 – were wearing sneakers on the streets of Milan.

“That’s the influence of the Americans,” she says, adding that fashion itself has become more global in general with the advent of technology.

But when it comes to Italian style, it still has its own flair with a fit that beautifully frames a woman’s curves.

“I find it’s very flattering on a women’s body …

I mean it’s not skin tight, but it definitely follows a woman’s curves – if you’ve got breasts there is room for it; if you’ve got hips, there is room for it,” says Lim. “Even Prada, which skims the body, still shows off a woman’s figure.”

While there is more intersecting in the world

style is fitted little dresses with the little jacket, and the feel of American fashion is more relaxed, understated, cut away from the body, where the Italians cut close to the body,” Lim explains.

When people come in the store, Lim says she can tell by the quality of the fabric whether the clothes are made with Italian fabric – the quality is that distinguishable. W

of fashion, there are still notable differences between the French, Americans and Italians when it comes to style, says Lim. French fashion has a more polished ladylike feel, while American is more casual. French fashion tends to be cut narrower in the bust and hips, and American clothes tend to be cut away from the body, she adds.

It’s always sad to see a local institution close its doors. After over 30 years in business, Pho Hoang, the casual Vietnamese mom-and-pop operation in South Main known for its classic pho, spring rolls and lemongrass chicken, closed its doors almost a year ago, shortly after the passing of the pater familias.

Anya Levykh Fresh Sheet

@FoodGirlFriday

Lick with care…a new, liquid nitrogen-based ice cream parlour has opened in Yaletown. Mister features ice cream made from scratch and flash-frozen using liquid nitrogen. The resulting ice cream is purported to be denser, smoother and creamier than commerciallyproduced ice cream. Scoops and take-home pints will be available in limited flavours, including crème brulée, avocado, dark chocolate, double Oreo, and lemon frozen yogurt. MadeByMister.com

The space didn’t stay shuttered for long, however.

Amelie and Vincent Nguyen, the daughter and son of the original owners, decided to carry on their father’s legacy, but with a slightly more modern concept. Anh and Chi (“brother and sister” in Vietnamese) opened midApril and has been sporting line-ups and a crowded room ever since.

There’s a lot to like in the new room. It’s been completely redone, with warm wood, imported Vietnamese tiles, and a lovely bar backlit with stained glass and an impressive array of bottles.

Bar manager Guy Stowell (formerly of Bao Bei) has crafted some solid foodfriendly cocktails, such as the refreshing Pisco-based Grass is Greener Here ($9).

Elderflower liqueur balances

out the lemongrass notes, with a hint of lemon to liven things up.

There are a handful of wines by the glass, some good local craft beer, as well as some southeast Asian imports (Lucky Buddha, anyone?), but it’s the cocktail list that will keep me coming back. That jug of Vietnamese Pimm’s looks too interesting to pass up.

While some staples from the original restaurant have remained (based on their mother’s recipes, and often executed by her), the new menu focuses more on modern Vietnamese street food. Rice paper rolls ($4) are pleasant, with jicama, carrots, roasted peanuts and Thai basil and sided with peanut sauce. An inserted long, thin curl of crispy rice paper gives

a satisfying crunch. One version, with fermented sausage and dried shrimp, was disappointingly onedimensional in taste. Bean sprouts and prawn was slightly better.

Chicken wings ($11) were excellent. The slightly sticky and crisped skin of the butter and garlic version covered plump, juicy and succulent meat. Served with a simple side of peppered lime juice, these are definitely worth ordering again. Another winner, the grilled beef bún ($13), was a large bowl of vermicelli topped with grilled beef and prawn, spring rolls and mixed herbs. Just drizzle the chili fish sauce over the whole thing, mix it up and go to town with a friend – it’s definitely large enough to share.

Rice paper salad ($8), off

the “bucket list” of menu items, was a complete fail.

Fresh mango, beef jerky, runny quail egg and fried shallots all make for a promising beginning, but the rice paper itself, unsoaked, tough as leather, and cut with glass-sharp edges, was inedible. A server kindly informed me that I should mix the salad before eating, to allow the juices to soften the rice paper. Twenty minutes later, after repeated mixing and drenching, I gave up. Rice paper needs to be soaked in hot water for at least 10 minutes for proper softening. And, yes, too much soaking turns it to mush. In this case, even a five-minute soak would have reduced my required dredging significantly and meant I might have actually finished the bowl, as opposed to leav-

ing virtually all of it behind.

The food overall here is fair to good, although there’s a lack of the pungency that one looks for in Vietnamese food; a dash of star anise, a lick more of heat, a touch more salt in some dishes.

Anh and Chi is off to a good start, however, and I’m hoping that a few more months – and a bolder approach in the kitchen – will yield more exciting fare.

WINE

Savouring Italy, Vancouver-style Michaela Morris By the Bottle @MichaelaWine

The first thing I do when I return from a trip abroad is go for Asian food. But once my pho and sushi hankerings have been satisfied, I start craving the cuisine of what has unofficially become my second home. With mere weeks between jaunts to Italy you’d think that I would steer clear of Italian joints in Vancouver. Instead, they save me from serious pizza and pasta withdrawals.

More than just stopgaps, my favourite local Italian restaurants keep me coming back for the combination of food, atmosphere, service, and of course, the wine.

Many lean toward a predominantly or all-Italian list combining great examples of the classics with lesserknown finds. And the passion with which they serve them reassures me that I am in good hands.

Savio Volpe is truly my local; if desperate I could crawl there. Not even a year old yet, this much-needed restaurant in the burgeoning Fraserhood area is always abuzz. I wouldn’t recommend it for an intimate rendezvous but for a casual date or lively gathering, absolutely. I’m also quite content to squeeze in at the bar by myself and never feel lonely. There with friends?

Ask for some salumi and a bottle of n/v Cleto Chiarli Vecchia Modena Lambrusco di Sobara ($58) as soon you sit down. These will tide you over briefly as you strategize what to devour next. White anchovy, farro salad and tripe alla Parmigiana are all worth sharing.

If you are lucky, they’ll have suckling pig on the spit. The wine list is a treasure trove of off-the-beaten-track gems.

A great go-with-all red is the lighter, juicy, floral and raspberry scented 2014 Valle Dell’Acate Il Frappato Vittoria Frappato DOC from Sicily ($12/glass or $60/bottle).

My pizza consumption has increased enormously in recent years thanks to the explosion of pizzerias around town. But it’s impossible for me to choose a favourite. So I’m going for the trifecta.

Via Tevere and Nicli Antica tie for most authentic Italian pie. The former has the edge in terms of atmosphere while the latter trumps with its wine service and selection. Then there’s Nook. While their pizza is less napolitana in my opinion, it’s delicious in its own right. Plus, they have plenty of wines from the region of Campania where pizza as we

Westender.com

The wood-fired pizzas made by Domenic (left) and Frank Morra at Via Tevere on Victoria Drive pair pefectly with a glass of 2014 Venosìa L’Ariella Greco di Tufo. Rob Newell photo know it is said to hail. The pizza test is the Margherita.

It’s simply topped with tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil representing the colours of the Italian flag. With luscious peach and apricot and a smoky, minerally edge, the 2014 Venosìa L’Ariella Greco di Tufo DOCG makes for a great regional match. It’s also conveniently served by the glass at all of the above.

La Buca always welcomes me with a warm embrace.

The name roughly translates as “hole in the wall” and indeed it is a charmingly small space. Despite its casual atmosphere, I have celebrated many special occasions (and non-occasions) here. Above all, chef Andrey Dubach’s cooking channels the generous spirit of the Italians. I am particularly inclined to go when my carnivore tendencies get the better of me. The Newport steak “Fiorentina” is Durbach’s rendition of traditional Tuscan dish bistecca alla fiorentina. This super flavourful thick cut steak is perfectly cooked (meaning no more than medium rare) then sliced against the grain and enthusiastically drizzled with top-quality olive oil.

With flavours of red cherry, black tea and violets, the 2013 Tenuta di Arceno Chianti Classico compliments it beautifully ($19 for a 9oz quartino). If you are looking for added refinement, complexity and concentration, spring for a bottle the 2010 Petroio Chianti Classico Riserva ($85).

Another small though slightly more upscale gem is La Quercia. The cuisine predominantly references northern Italy, especially Piedmont where I seem to spend a lot of time. Chef and owner Adam Pegg has a way with pasta and manages to cook it truly al dente. The

fresh sheet is always tempting but mainstay Agnolotti di Guido (veal stuffed hand main pasta in a brown butter sauce) is a must. The wine list is chockfull of great choices but I always end up drinking the same wine: Vietti Perbacco Neb-

biolo, Langhe DOC ($90).

Currently the lovely 2012 vintage, it’s a selection of lots that don’t make it into Vietti’s exalted Barolo and Barbaresco bottlings. By no means substandard, Perbacco is an earlier drinking (and less expensive) example

of Nebbiolo highlighting the fragrant rose aspect of this grape. Mint and strawberry chime in on the palate and are elegantly framed by firm tannin.

For good old Van-Italian comfort food, head to Arriva on Commercial Drive.

The menu is a hit list of classics like linguine alle vongole, fettuccine alla carbonara and lasagne. There is a hint of nostalgia here, at least for me. I can’t really remember where I tried my first Chianti but it’s highly probable that it was at Arriva. Today, the wine list still sports plenty of familiar favourites from all over Italy with solid producers such as Banfi, Bertani, Frescobaldi

and Masi.You’re sure to find something you’ll want to eat and drink. If you can’t decide, order a plate of rigatoni pesto pomodoro with a mixed green salad and wash it down with the house white. An undisclosed blend, it is likely based on Italy’s ubiquitous Trebbiano Toscano grape and is perfectly quaffable and thirst quenching.

When it comes to dining in Vancouver, we are spoilt for choice. But sometimes you just want the flavours of your home away from home.

For this I thank our local restaurants for keeping me well fed (and slaked) when I am not in Italy.

CRAFT BEER

The curious case of Murray Street How four breweries turned Port Moody from a sleepy suburb to a craft beer mecca Stephen Smysnuik The Growler @TheGrowlerBC

It was once a sleepy, little suburb that’s mutated suddenly into a craft beer hotspot. Since 2014, three breweries have opened along Port Moody’s Murray Street – Yellow Dog, Moody Ales and Twin Sails – revitalizing a declining industrial area into a thriving beer district, which locals dub Brewers Row. The breweries are jammed on any given weekend with young families,

escapees from brewery-free Coquitlam, Vancouverite beer-snobs, retirees out for a bike ride and a pint.

The city’s fourth (and largest) brewery, Parkside Brewing, was slated to have opened on Wednesday. Parkside’s noteworthy for several reasons, not least because this is the long-awaited new project from the influential former Granville Island Brewing head brewer Vern Lambourne.

And with 6,500-squarefeet, a 100-person seating capacity and an outdoor picnic area, Parkside will undoubtedly become a destination brewery for beer fans across the Lower Mainland and beyond. It signals the arrival of Port Moody – and Murray Street specifically – as a major player in

Canadian craft beer.

But how did it happen?

“Well, I don’t think it’s ‘how,’” says Yellow Dog founder Mike Coghill. “For every community, really right now it’s a matter of when, and how much the community gets behind it.”

When Yellow Dog opened in 2014, it joined Aldergrove’s Dead Frog Brewing and Chilliwack’s Old Yale Brewing as one of only three Lower Mainland breweries operating east of Vancouver.

It was an immediate hit, and also offered a glimpse at the craft beer fervor that has swept most other municipalities since.

“Once everyone saw how busy we were, and how successful Yellow Dog was right out of the gates, they figured [Murray Street] was a good

neighbourhood for breweries,” Coghill says.

Of the Tri-Cities, only Port Moody has the correct bylaw zoning required for breweries. And in Port Moody, Murray Street is the only neighbourhood that carries that zoning. It’s also a community made up of young, urban-minded families – many of whom have moved there from Vancouver – and where most businesses are locally owned and supported. Add to this the swell in popularity of craft beer throughout North America, and you have the ideal environment for a beer district to flourish.

“Before the breweries opened, I had no idea we had a pent-up demand for craft beer,” Port Moody mayor Mike Clay says. “But from the day Yellow Dog opened, it’s been very well received. Probably the most popular thing in the area is the breweries, for visitors and locals.”

He says that it’s “dramatically” changed the dynamics of the neighbourhood – there’s foot traffic along Murray Street that it’s never seen, and once-vacant buildings are no longer shuttered.

Yellow Dog Brewing is part of Port Moody’s burgeoning “Brewers Row” beer district. Contributed photo It’s also cultivated a new kind of community that’s unique to the craft beer industry. “We’ve already met as a unit,” says Sam Payne, Parkside’s co-founder and sales director. “We have monthly Brewers Row meetings to see how we can help each other and what events we’re going to go into, and those sorts of things.”

Through these meetings, the four breweries have agreed to do at least one collaboration beer per year to support an organization or event in Port Moody, starting with a schwarzbier to support the Port Moody Arts Centre.

They’ve also been working together in tandem with the City of Port Moody and the BC Craft Brewers Guild to promote Port Moody and Brewers Row as a tourism destination through the Destination BC Ale Trail project, which has considerable potential for the city once the Evergreen SkyTrain Line opens in 2017.

“It opens up a block and a half away from us, so it’s in our best interest to drive people to the area,” Payne says. “The more people that are at Yellow Dog are more people that are at Parkside, are at Moody Ales and Twin Sails.” W

Picasso: The women, the myth, the legend KELSEY KLASSEN @kelseyklassen

Behind almost every advancement in Pablo Ruiz y Picasso’s artistic evolution stood a woman, inspiring him, driving his styles and colour palettes forward.

While many of Picasso’s periods can be defined by the women in his life, however, the women should not solely be defined by the man.

Photographers, law students, star ballerinas... in examining the impact of his first loves, wives, introduction to fatherhood and infamous womanizing, the Vancouver Art Gallery has gathered some of Picasso’s most major works – paintings that altered the course of art history and continue to impact artists today – into Picasso:The Artist and His Muses (June 11-Oct. 2), the most significant Picasso exhibition ever presented in Vancouver.

There are more than 60 artworks from 38 international lenders present, including highlights like Bust of aWoman (Dora Maar) and the rarely exhibited Head of aWoman (Olga Kokhlova), with some of the most iconic works coming from the Picasso family themselves.

Created by Art Centre Basel and produced in collaboration with the VAG, we caught up with curator Katharina Beisiegel by phone in Switzerland to learn more about the women, the myth, and the legend.

Describe the show: It’s an overview of Picasso’s work from 1906 to 1973,

Vanity Fair to Vancouver. Is he having a bit of a revival?

I hope so! [Laughs] He is probably one of the most important painters of classical modernism, if not the most important painter. And he had such a profound influence on art throughout his life, that even now we’re still seeing influences.

The way he approached painting was so different than anything that had been done before, and he was so versatile.You look at the variety of painting styles that he invented or that he painted in that no one had done before him and maybe no one has done since. With the exception, maybe, of Gerhard Richter.

which are basically the most important years in his career.

And I wanted to look at Picasso a little bit differently than other exhibitions have in the past by focusing on the women in his life. Working with Picasso, I realized that there are very interesting stories to be told about the women by his side, [who] had such a profound influence on his work and, sort of, shaped or even heralded the transformations in his work. Because he was such a prolific and diverse painter, it’s really interesting to see the development of his work and introduce the women behind these portraits.

Tell me about the women featured in the show?

We have Fernande Olivier, who was his first great love.

And then his first wife, Olga Khokhlova, and then MarieThérèse Walter, who might be the most iconic muse that we know. She is the most well-known muse for all these sensual, erotic paintings that he did of her. Then of course Dora Maar, a wellknown photographer and surrealist. And then Françoise Gilot, [and second wife Jacqueline Roque]. We have all these women, and they’re all so different. The only thing that seems to unite them is their love for Picasso and the creative relationships that they had with him.

When you put all these artworks together, what kind of changes can you see?

When he was still living in Spain, he was based in sort of a realistic, impressionistic style. And then he moved to

Pablo Picasso, Bust of a Woman (Dora Maar), 1938; Nu Assis dans un Fauteuil (II), 1963.

Paris and you see the Blue Period, the very sombre tones. Everything is in blue and he’s painting the poor people of Paris that he was surrounded by. He was living in Le Bateau-Lavoir, this artist base where all these creative minds came together and lived in great, great poverty together but lived for the art.

Then meeting Fernande and falling in love with her, his entire colour palette changes. The blue tones are gone and we have this Rose Period, where he’s painting her in the south of Spain where they are on vacation. We see these dark ochre tones and reds and her voluptuous forms, and it becomes very sensual.

And then we’re moving on to Olga, who was a Russian ballet dancer, a ballet star.

She was touring the world, and she fell in love with Picasso and she had these very classical features. We have a very realistic portrait of her, almost impressionist in style, and when you look at it maybe you wouldn’t even think it’s a Picasso. And then when you look at how his depictions of her change, his first son is born and you have this idea of motherhood, and it gets more abstract and more abstract, resulting in paintings that are very difficult to understand, because they are so abstract we don’t even recognize them as a portrait of a certain woman anymore.

Can you share a story behind one of the paintings?

We can identify certain colours with certain periods, and for Françoise, La Femme-Fleur (Woman

Flower), there is a lot of green and blue in the paintings, and there is a really interesting anecdote about this. Picasso was friends with Henri Matisse, and they were always, sort of, in this competitive state. Picasso had dinner with Françoise and Matisse, and Matisse was smitten with Françoise and said, “Oh, I’d love to paint you as a flower.” And then Picasso said, “No, I’m painting her as a flower.” [Laughs] And that’s how one of the most iconic paintings from that period came to be. I love that story. Of course, with all of the Picasso legends you have to take it with a grain of salt; I’m sure there’s some truth to it, though.

Speaking of legend, we’re seeing Picasso’s name everywhere right now, from

What are some ways we are still seeing his influence?

He was not interested in developing one style and being known for that style.

If you follow his portraiture, you have the feeling he was always looking for a certain quality, a certain essence, and it wasn’t based in a certain style. It’s really trying to adapt the style to his surroundings and the many influences he had.

This can be seen in his post-war style – after World War II he felt there was a necessity to find a different pictorial style after what the world had gone through. It was truly, for Europe, a new beginning, and he was looking for a way to express that in his art.

It’s a Sunday afternoon in spring, and Louise Burns is curled up on the couch of her East Van home with a scented candle burning and a mug of tea cradled in her hands. She’s nursing a hangover after having played shows the past two nights, and she has a John Coltrane record on the turntable.

“Whenever I feel like I’m sick of music, I just put on jazz,” she explains. “Every time I hear a [rock] song, I analyze it to death. ‘Hmm, I wonder how many vocal takes that person did?’ or, ‘Who produced this? Why did they use that guitar tone?’ Sometimes you just want to relax, and that’s why jazz is good for a hangover.”

Burns’ tendency to overanalyze rock music is understandable, given her extensive background in the genre.

Westender.com

Now 30, she got her start at the tender age of 11, when she started playing bass for the pop-friendly project Lillix. The band signed with Madonna’s Warner subsidiary Maverick Records and was poised for stardom, but the group was a commercial disappointment and the label folded.

“Our first record was a million dollars to make,” Burns remembers. “That was how much it cost to just make the album. That’s the old industry.”

These days, Burns’ career has taken on a very different shape. She’s signed to the local indie imprint Light Organ Records, and in 2011 released the debut solo album Mellow Drama. That collection channeled the ‘50s and ‘60s through the lens of dreamy folk-pop, while the follow-up, 2013’s The Midnight Mass, ventured into synth-draped ‘80s haziness.

Vancouver’s Louise Burns has just wrapped work on a new solo LP. Jennilee Marigomen photo She’s also a member of the Arts & Crafts outfit Gold & Youth; in her spare time, she acts as a bassist, keyboardist and backup singer for hire.

(Full disclosure: she has also written about music for this publication.)

A few weeks prior to this

interview, Burns wrapped up work on a new solo LP with co-producers Colin Stewart (The New Pornographers, Black Mountain, Dan Mangan), and Damian Taylor (The Killers, Björk).

Although the record likely won’t be out until next year,

she’s already released a seven-inch for lead single “Pharaoh,” a swooning serenade that’s laden with watery guitars and heavy-lidded vocal harmonies. Unlike past efforts, it’s not indebted to a single time period.

“I like to live in that ground where nobody can quite define it,” Burns muses. “I don’t want to make an ‘80s record – I have no interest in doing that. I don’t want to make a ‘90s record or a ‘60s folk record.

It’s 2016. I think both of my first two records were a little bit too close to one of those eras. This one, I’m trying to do it and not even think.

Make it about the song and that’s it.”

Another single, “Storms,” is due out this month. With its surge of jangling guitars and hard-charging drums, the song is a tribute to a fan who reached out to Burns during a moment of personal

crisis. “They were going though something really traumatic, and they reached out to me and told me that my record helped them get through something,” she recounts.

For Burns, this interaction reaffirmed her decision to remain in the music business after almost two decades.

“It gave me this wakeup call about how I approach music,” she says. “I was like, ‘I feel like I’m not respecting what I do enough.’ Because I’m very jaded and I often bury a lot of my feelings toward the music industry in the form of being jokey or self-deprecating. But really, it’s what I live for.” W Louise Burns performs Saturday, June 18 at Malkin Bowl as part of Levitation Vancouver.

ITALIAN DAY

Mangiamo Italiano!

@J?BH?; 0?= #6JG#;! J9 J?D69F6# 39>>6#:H?B 0#HF6 JKH! EG;7?= ROBERT MANGELSDORF @robmangelsdorf

If there’s one thing that can bring people together, that can cross cultural divides and make strangers feel like family, it’s food.

So it’s little wonder that the organizers of Italian Day on the Drive chose the theme for this year’s celebration to be “Mangiamo,” which is Italian for “Lets eat!”

“The Italian dinner table is a place for conversation, celebration and community, and we want to extend that to everyone,” explains event organizer Brunella Gaudio, executive director of the Italian Day Festival Society.

This year’s celebration takes place this Sunday, and there will be no shortage of delicious Italian food on hand. More than 150 vendors will be handing out free samples of prosciutto, salami, mortadella, cheese, olives, olive oils, and just about every other Italian food product you can think of. And if you are looking to have something a little more substantial, there will be close to 30 food trucks on hand, dozens of restaurants, more than 20 street patios and cooking demonstrations up and down the Drive.

“Italians love food, it forms a big part of our passion for life,” says Gaudio.

The celebration will stretch along Commercial Drive from Venables south to Grandview, the length of which will be blocked from traffic for the 15 block-long street party from noon to 8pm.The Drive will be turned into several pedestrian piazzas, each with their own attractions, including live opera and Tarantella folk dancing, Italian car and motorcycle exhibitions, cooking demonstrations, kids areas, crafts and sports.

This year’s event will be the first Italian Day on the Drive to celebrate the neighbourhood’s recent designation by the City of Vancouver as “Little Italy.”While many of the original Italian families who settled in the area in the post-war years have either moved on or passed on, their influence and impact on the neighbourhood is undeniable.

“It was a long time coming,” says Federico Fuoco, owner of Federico’s Supper Club at Commercial and East 1st, of the official recognition. “It pays homage to the pioneers of the Italian community.”

Fuoco grew up just around the corner from the restaurant that bears his name on East 2nd, and has seen the community change around him.

“It’s changed like the city has changed,” he says. “It was 90 per cent Italian back in the

day, and that has changed.

A lot of working families left for North Burnaby, Heritage Mountain in Port Moody, Westwood Plateau. But there are still a lot of Italian families and businesses here.

There are businesses here that are second and third generation now.”

But one thing Commercial Drive has always been, is welcoming, and Italian Day is an opportunity for long-time residents like Fuoco to share his love for the old country.

“We celebrate life,” he says. “That’s what it means to be Italian, and that’s what people will feel on Sunday.”

And being Italian means there’s no shortage of things to celebrate.

“We’ve given a lot to the world for art and culture,” says Fuoco. “Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci. And the music! Everybody knows ‘Volaré,’ everybody knows ‘O Solé Mio,’ everybody knows opera. As far as food, pizza is probably the most celebrated food in the world!”

Fuoco will also be one of the dozens of musical artists performing this year at the festival’s three stages (along with his 87-year-old father Gianni).

“If you can’t go to Italy, this is the next best thing,” he says. & +9# JK6 $GBB $6!JHF?B BH;6/G%2 FH!HJ @J?BH?;0?=,:?

Family comes first at Lombardo’s Pizzeria ANYA LEVYKH @foodgirlfriday

Patti Lombardo (second from left) and her daughters Sonia, Elizabeth and Giulia have helped make Lombardo’s Pizzeria and Restaurant a Commercial Drive success story for the past 30 years. Contributed photo

14 W June 9 - June 15, 2016

When Patti Lombardo and her then-husband Marcello opened their now-famous pizzeria 30 years ago, it was the first in Vancouver with a wood-fired oven. The city didn’t have any regulations in place at the time, so the couple built it themselves, with the help of a couple of pie pans and Patti’s uncle, who was an engineer and designed it to suit Marcello’s height and arm length.

For over a decade, the pair ran the restaurant and turned it into one of the most successful on the Drive. Then, after a protracted and bitter divorce, Marcello left to open his own operation and Patti was left to raise their three daughters and run the existing business.

“I never planned to be in the pizza business,” remembers Patti, who used to work in social services.

“When we first opened the restaurant, there was supposed to be a business partner who would handle operations, but that fell through, so I ended up stepping in. You don’t realize how good you get at something after doing it for so long, or how much fun it is.”

That experience has held her in good stead, and the restaurant is still considered one of the top pizzerias in the city, thanks, in large part, to its multigenerational fan base.

“In the beginning, we had a lot of young couples, then they started bringing their kids, and today those kids are grown up and bringing their own chil-

dren,” she laughs. “A lot of our customers have been coming here for a long time. They know the menu so well that often they don’t even look at it, they just order their favourites.”

And, despite the occasional effort to change the menu, the customers have gotten their way and much of the menu is the same as it was 30 years ago. One of Lombardo’s daughters, Giulia, is now the chef, although there is also a long-term cook who has been with them for over 20 years.

“He’s six inches taller than my ex-husband, so he does have to bend over a bit when sliding pizzas in or taking them out,” she admits with a laugh.

Pizza in the park

@J?BH?; 3GBJG#?B 36;J#6 B?G;:K6! :HJ='! I#!J :9>>G;HJ= <?D6 9F6; KELSEY KLASSEN @kelseyklassen

There’s already a thriving farmers’ market, community garden, orchard, salmon habitat, zero-waste composter and Italian honey-bee hive on the grounds surrounding the Italian Cultural Centre (ICC) on Grandview Highway. While that’s an impressive set of green credentials for a community group whose primary focus is promoting Italian language, heritage and culture, however, it’s not exactly news.

In a first for Vancouver, though, you’ll soon be able to bake bread and pizza in a public bake oven in the sprawling park behind Il Centro, as well.

For Mauro Vescera, executive director of the ICC, the community bake oven has been a long time coming.

“We have approval from the Parks Board, [but] when you build something in the park you need to, you know, provide DNA samples,” he

says, with a playful wink. “It is the first one in the city,” he adds, “so maybe that’s why it’s taken longer.”

The oven is exactly what you’d imagine: domed, tiled and made in Italy, of course. It will adhere to specifications set out by the Vancouver Parks Board and Vancouver Coastal Health, but will be managed by the ICC. A grand opening is currently scheduled for Friday, June 17, to coincide with Il Mercato, the centre’s on-site Italian farmers’ market, that evening.

Modelled after successful programs already in place in Toronto, the oven is intended to be a community amenity, open to the public and educational groups to book and enjoy in Beaconsfield Park.

Due to restrictions around the burning of wood in Vancouver, the oven will run on propane, and a modest fee of $10 has been suggested so far, to cover the cost of the fuel and for maintenance and cleaning. Picnic tables and a work surface for your dough and food stuffs will also be provided, and just steps away is the ICC’s licensed bistro, if you’re looking to savour a glass of wine as you wait

Italian Cultural Centre executive director Mauro Vescera stands in the centre’s community garden. Dan Toulgoet photo for your sourdough or pizza napoletana to bake.

Meanwhile, the oven will make a well-timed addition to the centre’s Italian Heritage Month festivities, which include pasta-making classes, Italian Day on the Drive, an evening of Italian opera, the farmers’ market, wine tasting, a culinary series featuring chefs from around Vancouver, and more throughout June.

“We envision people coming here, maybe having a picnic; we envision using [the oven] when we do our films in the park to bake bread to sell to people,” Vescera explains. “And of course we also have Italian Heritage Month, where we have a whole bunch of programs and activities, and food is a core piece.” & +9# >9#6 76J?HB!2 "9 J9 @J?BH?;3GBJG#?B36;J#6,:?

Lombardo’s has remained a tight-knit family business, one of the few still in operation on the Drive.

The other two daughters also work in the restaurant. Elizabeth, the oldest, is a graphic designer and handles all the design for menus and the website, as well as running the front of house. Sonia, the youngest, is in charge of social media and also works behind the bar, as well as managing back-end operations.

“It’s great for the restaurant and for the girls,” says Patti, “because they each get to use their individual skills and passions.”

Patti was born and raised in East Van and is now an active board member for the neighbourhood business improvement association.

As her restaurant and her family have grown, so too has Commercial Drive.

“It was always a momand-pop culture, and

we’ve managed to keep that neighbourhood feel by keeping out a lot of the big-box retailers and maintaining those small shopfronts,” she says.

The latter has proven challenging, given that the BIA now covers the area from Venables to East 13th Avenue, and has upward of 500 members. And while increased density is changing the fabric of the neighbourhood, Patti sees that as a positive.

“We’re going to face some challenges, but I think it will be good for us,” she says. “I don’t really see [Commercial Drive] as just being Little Italy anymore.

That’s what I love about this neighbourhood; you can be whatever you want on the Drive, it doesn’t matter where you’re from.” & @; :6B6<#?JH9; 9$ JK6 #6!J?G#?;J'! (* =6?#!

Stars shine at the 2016 Leo Awards

The Devout, On The Farm big winners at red carpet gala Sabrina Furminger Reel People

@Sabrinarmf

If the results of the final night of the 2016 Leo Awards tell us anything about our homegrown reel people, it’s that they don’t shy away from gut-punching work.

Now in its 18th year, the Leo Awards recognize achievements in the British Columbia film and television industry, handing out more than one hundred awards to on-screen talent and behind-the-scenes artists each year. On June 5, the 2016 edition wrapped up with a splashy red carpet gala at the Hyatt Regency hosted by actor Zak Santiago (The 100; Random Acts of Romance) and attended by a veritable Who’s Who of the local screen scene – and the work that was recognized was undeniably fearless and emotionally wrenching.

In the motion picture category, The Devout – Connor Gaston’s gripping drama about a father who believes that his dying daughter is a reincarnated 1960s astronaut – snapped up five Leo Awards, including Best Motion Picture, Best Screenwriting, and Best Performance nods for Charlie Carrick, Ali Liebert, and child actor Olivia Martin (who was unable to attend the gala because it was “past her bedtime,” according to The Devout producer Amanda Verhagen during her acceptance speech).

Siobhan Devine won Best Direction in a Motion Picture for Whistler Film Festival standout The Birdwatcher, about a terminally ill woman (portrayed

by Camille Sullivan, who won for her performance in

On the small-screen front, CTV’s Motive took Best Dramatic Series; the popular “whydunit” and Leo Awards regular is in the midst of its final season.

On the Farm – a made-forTV movie based on Stevie Cameron’s 2011 book about the events leading up to the arrest of serial killer Robert Pickton – won Best Television Movie.

than a dozen cameos from various musicians and performers playing themselves, the film also features solid support from Tim Meadows and Sarah Silverman. It’s easy to see the likenesses of Justin Bieber and Kanye West being mocked throughout but Popstar also manages to plentifully poke fun at this generation’s obsession with social media and how commercialized the current music industry has become.

Of course, scenes involving bloodthirsty wolves ruining a wedding party or Samberg

singing that Mona Lisa is “an overrated bitch” ensure there is enough lowbrow humour to spare.With a runtime under 90 minutes, Popstar never overstays its welcome. Even if not every sequence quite hits the mark, the movie criminally underuses the comedic talents of Joan Cusack as Conner’s mom, the pointed zingers throughout make the missteps all the more forgivable.

Everyone involved in the film seems to be having a blast and the audience will too.

Chronic stress has a huge impact on your overall life and health, especially your ability to digest food. Not digesting food properly can lead to all sorts of health problems that you don’t want any part of, some that you might already be experiencing or have in the past. It’s a whole world of uncomfortableness that bites the big one, and since your gut is one of your most important organ systems, not having it in good shape will cause havoc with your overall health.

Stress can make an already overwhelmed and vulnerable digestive system worse and heighten symptoms associated with existing digestive disorders.Think of the many times you have felt physically choked up due to stress or have had bad stomach pains when under significant pressure.

High levels of stress activate your adrenal glands to release the stress hormone cortisol that not only will weaken your immune system, but can also lead to a plethora of other health issues. Emotional stress has actually been known to reduce lymphocytes and NK cells, which both play a huge role in the body’s immune response against illness. Stress can literally make you sick.

According to Dr. Kenneth

The Vancouver Pride Society is teaming up with Westender to produce the Official 2016 Pride Guide!

The Pride Guide is the definitive source for everything Pride, covering all the stories, all the events, all the people, and all the parties during Pride Month, leading up to Pride Week, July 24-31.

Koch a professor and medical director of the Digestive Health Center at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, “stress can cause your esophagus to go into spasms.

It can increase the acid in your stomach causing indigestion.

Under stress, the mill in your stomach can shut down and make you feel nauseous. Stress can cause your colon to react in a way that gives you diarrhea or constipation.”

Here are some ways to destress and maybe help out your colon at the same time.

ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS

Salmon, seeds and nuts to name a few are full of EFAs which can prevent surges in stress hormones and may help protect against heart disease, mood disorders like depression, and PMS.

AVOCADOS

Guacamole made from avocado is a great healthy alternative when stress has you craving a high-fat treat.

Bonus! It’s high in EFAs too.

EXERCISE

Exercising boosts oxygen circulation and activates your body to make feel-good chemicals called endorphins.

Aim for 30 minutes a day, it could be something as simple as walking.

GET ENOUGH REST

Sleep is seriously underrated! If you don’t let your body

Take a deep breath and put down the junk food. iStock photo and mind rest then you won’t be able to perform at your full capacity. If you can’t get all your required Zs at once then take frequent naps throughout your day (they are not just for preschoolers anymore).

MAKING TIME FOR YOURSELF

Whether it’s an entire day out of your week or just an hour, take a bath, watch TV, read a book, go out and enjoy nature. Do you! W

MEDITATION

There are so many different reasons to try and find stillness even for a moment in this crazy, hectic world we live in.

You don’t have to do it purely for the sake of enlightenment, you can also do it as a way to de-stress. Don’t know where to start?YouTube has you covered. Start with five minutes and work your way to longer.

SPINACH

Take a lesson from Popeye and stock up on spinach for its magnesium, which has been known to combat stress.

Just one cup goes a long way.

MAKING TIME FOR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND PETS

Loneliness can be one of the major causes of stress. Did you know that the presence of animals reduces the anxiety you feel when facing stressful situations? True story! Touch something furry, like now.

SEX

Free Will Astrology

By Rob Brezsny Mythologist Joseph Campbell analyzed fairy tales for clues about how the human psyche works. For example, he said that a fairy tale character who’s riding a horse is a representation of our relationship with our instinctual nature. If that character drops the reins and lets the horse gallop without guidance, he or she is symbolically surrendering control to the instincts. I bring this to your attention because I suspect you may soon be tempted to do just that that – which wouldn’t be wise. In my opinion, you’ll be best served by going against the flow of what seems natural. Sublimation and transcendence will keep you much stronger than if you followed the line of least resistance. Homework: Visualize yourself, as you ride your horse, keeping a relaxed but firm grasp of the reins.

I will provide you with two lists of words. One of these lists, but not both, will characterize the nature of your predominant experiences in the coming weeks. It will be mostly up to you which emerges as the winner. Now read the two lists, pick the one you like better, and instruct your subconscious mind to lead you in that direction. List 1: gluttony, bloating, overkill, padding, exorbitance. List 2: mother lode, wellspring, bumper crop, gold mine, cornucopia.

In his poem “Interrupted Meditation,” Robert Hass blurts out the following exclamation: “I give you, here, now, a magic key. What does it open? This key I give you, what exactly does it open?” How would you answer this question, Gemini? What door or lock or heart or treasure box do you most need opened?

Decide today. And please don’t name five things you need opened. Choose one, and one only. To do so will dissolve a mental block that has up until now kept you from finding the REAL magic key.

The following excerpt from Wendell Berry’s poem “Woods” captures the essence of your current situation: “I part the out-thrusting branches and come in beneath the blessed and the blessing trees. Though I am silent there is singing around me. Though I am dark there is vision around me. Though I am heavy there is flight around me.” Please remember this poem at least three times a day during the next two weeks. It’s important for you to know that no matter what murky or maudlin or mysterious mood you might be in, you are surrounded by vitality and generosity.

A half-dead blast from the past is throttling the free flow of your imagination. Your best possible future will be postponed until you agree to deal more intimately with this crumbled dream, which you have never fully grieved or surrendered. So here’s my advice: Summon the bravest, smartest love you’re capable of, and lay your sad loss to rest with gentle ferocity. This may take a while, so be patient. Be inspired by the fact that your new supply of brave, smart love will be a crucial resource for the rest of your long life.

Five times every day, devout Muslims face their holiest city, Mecca, and say prayers to Allah. Even if you’re not Islamic, I recommend that you carry out your own unique version of this ritual. The next three weeks will be a favorable time to cultivate a closer relationship with the inspirational influence, the high ideal, or the divine being that reigns supreme in your life. Here’s how you could do it: Identify a place that excites your imagination and provokes a sense of wonder. Five times a day for the next 21 days, bow in the direction of this treasured spot. Unleash songs, vows, and celebratory expostulations that deepen your fierce and tender commitment to what you trust most and love best.

“The road reaches every place, the short cut only one,” says aphorist James Richardson. In many cases, that’s not a problem. Who among us has unlimited time and energy? Why leave all the options open? Short cuts can be valuable. It’s often smart to be ruthlessly efficient as we head toward our destination. But here’s a caveat: According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re now in a phase when taking short cuts may be counterproductive. To be as well-seasoned as you will need to be to reach your goal, you should probably take the scenic route. The long way around may, in this instance, be the most efficient and effective.

Screencap that unwanted dick pic, you might need it later... as evidence. iStock photo “Truth is like the flu,” says poet James Richardson. “I fight it off, but it changes in other bodies and returns in a form to which I am not immune.” In the coming days, Scorpio, I suspect you will experience that riddle first hand – and probably on more than one occasion.

Obvious secrets and wild understandings that you have fought against finding out will mutate in just the right way to sneak past your defenses. Unwelcome insights you’ve been trying to ignore will finally wiggle their way into your psyche. Don’t worry, though. These new arrivals will be turn out to be good medicine.

According to Guinness World records, the most consecutive hours spent riding on a roller coaster is 405 hours and 40 minutes. But I suspect that during the next 15 months, a Sagittarian daredevil may exceed this mark. I have come to this conclusion because I believe your tribe will be especially adept and relatively comfortable at handling steep rises and sudden dips at high speeds. And that won’t be the only rough talent you’ll have in abundance. I’m guessing you could also set new personal bests in the categories of most frequent changes of mind, most heroic leaps of faith, and fastest talking.

Whether we like to admit it or not, all of us have acted like puppets. Bosses and teachers and loved ones can manipulate us even if they’re not in our presence. Our conditioned responses and programmed impulses may control our behavior in the present moment even though they were formed long ago. That’s the bad news. The good news is that now and then moments of lucidity blossom, revealing the puppet strings. We emerge from our unconsciousness and see that we’re under the spell of influential people to whom we have surrendered our power.

This is one of those magic times for you, Capricorn.

A few weeks ago you undertook a new course of study in the art of fun and games. You realized you hadn’t been playing hard enough, and took measures to correct the problem. After refamiliarizing yourself with the mysteries of innocent joy, you raised the stakes. You began dabbling with more intensive forms of relief and release.

Now you have the chance to go even further: to explore the mysteries of experimental delight. Exuberant escapades may become available to you. Amorous adventures could invite you to explore the frontiers of liberated love. Will you be brave and free enough to meet the challenge of such deeply meaningful gaiety? Meditate on this radical possibility: spiritually adept hedonism.

Poet Sharon Dolin compares artists to sunflowers. They create “a tall flashy flower that then grows heavy with seeds whose small hard shells you must crack to get to the rich nut meat.” As I contemplate the current chapter of your unfolding story, I see you as being engaged in a similar process, even if you’re not literally an artist. To be exact, you’re at the point when you are producing a tall flashy flower. The seeds have not yet begun to form, but they will soon. Later this year, the rich nut meat inside the small hard shells will be ready to pluck. For now, concentrate on generating your gorgeous, radiant flower.

Ask Mish: To meddle or not to meddle…

Sex with Mish Way

@MyszkaWay

My ex-boyfriend has recently started contacting me again.

A lot. He has been sending me explicit texts, asking me to hang out, and saying that he wants us to hook up and have sex. It’s very bold and normally, I would just tell him to “go away” and leave it there.

However, I know he has a new girlfriend, who he has been serious and monogamous with for a long while.

They even live together. A part of me wants to let her know what is going on. If I was her, I would want to know the truth and not be made a fool. Am I being a meddler if I tell her?

If you tell her, you will have officially meddled, but in this case, it’s probably a good thing. If he had sent you one or two texts, then I would just tell you to forget about it. But his text-flirting has been consistent and documented. Screen-cap those conversations. Keep any dick pics.You know the drill.

I had this friend. Let’s call her Bella.

Bella was dating this unappreciative, drug-addled youngster for far too long. She took care of this fool, and it was her own fault for putting up with his immaturity, but at times, I think they had fun.

The first time they broke up was because she found out he had cheated on her. She didn’t speak to him again for half a year, but somehow he weaseled his way back in.

Second time around, a common friend of both Bella and myself asked me if the two were still together because she had seen him out the other evening and he was acting shady.

Our common friend didn’t want to be a snitch, but she also didn’t want Bella to get a disease or have to deal with one of the other cute little sidebars of irresponsible infidelity.

You know your ex-boyfriend, not me, but it sounds like he is a pile. (And I can say this because I have cheated. I WAS a pile. People can recover.)

It also sounds like he is not satisfied in his new relationship, or that he is one of those people who needs constant attention. Either way, it’s not your problem and won’t be again pretty soon.

When I cheated it was pathetic. I would always end up sleeping with my ex in some pathetic attempt to trick myself into believing they still validated my sexuality. I see now how deeply low this is, but at the time I was young, immature, and lacking confidence. Again, PILE. Everyone is so accessible now. Find your ex’s girlfriend on Facebook and, if you can’t access her personal email ad-

dress, just write her a private message on there. (It may just go to her junk mail if you are not “friends” so email is best.) Be polite; you know, the whole “I just want to let you know in case” and “I am sorry about this,” and let her know what is going on.

She may not thank you, or even believe you right away (you have those screen caps), but in the end, if he is trying to fuck you, he’s probably already fucking with other girls in his back catalogue.

No girlfriend deserves to be the butt of the joke.

Love, Mish W
