ChefmeetsBCGrape + The Arts Club Theatre has partnered with the BC Wine Institute to present the popular ChefmeetsBCGrape event along with two companion dinners. Not only does this fundraising series pay tribute to the top echelon of BC VQA wine and food produced in the province, but it also benefits the not-forprofit theatre company. The 9th annual ChefMeetsBCGrape is June 5, at 7pm, at the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre East (999 Canada Place), and offers the largest selection of BC VQA wines (350) in Vancouver to swirl, sip, and sample in a single event. Tickets are $80, or $75 per person for groups of six or more. The Best of BC wine-paired dinner is at MARKET by Jean-Georges (1128 West Georgia), on June 6, at 6pm. Hosted by Master of Wine Rhys Pender, this dinner showcases a selection of the BC VQA wines featured in Maclean’s May ‘Wine in Canada’ guide. On Monday, June 10, at 6pm, the evening is dedicated to the premium labels of BC’s award-winning
Mission Hill Family Estate (pictured). The dinner, held at Provence Mediterranean Grill (4473 West 10th Avenue), will include a menu of inspired coastal French cuisine by chef and owner JeanFrancis Quaglia. Wine expert Andrew Doyle brings his knowledge of viticulture to the event.
Does heaven exist? As a neurosurgeon, Dr. Eben Alexander (pictured) knows a lot about the science of the brain. But when a rare illness put him in a coma for seven days, his own brain took him to places he never imagined. One of those places is commonly referred to as heaven. His book, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife, is currently the bestselling book in the US for 2013. It is not without controversy, however. Dr. Oliver Sacks, no slouch in the brain business, wrote a lengthy article in the Atlantic, chastising Dr. Alexander for denying that there could be a scientific reason for his experience. On June 12, Banyen Books and the Vancouver chapter of the International Association of Near-Death Studies are hosting an evening with Dr. Alexander at the Canadian Memorial United Church and Centre for Peace (1825 West 16th at Burrard) on June 12 at 7:15pm. Seating is limited so it’s advised you buy tickets in advance for $20 at the bookstore (3608 West 4th) or by phone, 604-737-8858. IANDSVancouver.ca
Tickets to each dinner are $165 per person (includes a $85 charitable tax receipt). Attend both dinners for the special price of $300 per person ($145 charitable tax receipt). ArtsClub.com.
Taking a new path Crossing Paths is a departure for artist Miriam Aroeste. Usually known for her maximalist approach to abstract themes, the inspiration for Crossing Paths was an exploration of minimalism and monochrome aiming to express the most with the least. The exhibition’s nine large canvasses and several smaller, supporting works are variations on Aroeste’s newly developed technique of striking the canvas with a very simple gesture in a single colour. Shadow and light become the ultimate explorations of line and form. On from June 7 to June 14 at the Waterfall Building (1540 W. 2nd) 11am-4pm daily or by appointment. MiriamAroeste.com

Bike theft: Vancouver police launch Log It or Lose It By Gen Handley
W
hen you ask Constable Brian Montague of the Vancouver Police Department what the best investment a bike owner can make, he answers without hesitation. “It’s always a good bike lock,” he answers. “You should always spend money on a good, quality U-type lock. It’s like a home. You wouldn’t put a cheap deadbolt on your house, right?” With year-round riding conditions and bike-friendly infrastructure, Vancouver is known globally for its cycling culture — the City of Vancouver says there are about 50,000 bikes on the streets and bikeways, every day. Unfortunately, with this great
culture comes a large market for criminals. In 2012, 1,839 bikes were reported stolen to the VPD and so far, in 2013, 582 thefts have been reported. These numbers do not reflect bikes thefts that were not reported. “We actually get a lot of reports of bikes being stolen and they weren’t locked up,” Montague says. “You hear about someone leaning the bike against a pole while running into a café for a coffee, and then a person walking by grabs it and rides away and it’s gone.” Not only does Montague urge people to lock their bikes securely, he also recommends recording the bike’s serial number so it can be tracked down if it gets stolen and engraving your driver’s licence number on the bike so, if found, the VPD can contact you.
Ever year, the VPD auction sells hundreds of unclaimed stolen bikes that have serial numbers but nobody to claim them. To address this, the VPD launched the Log It or Lose It program this week, which encourages Vancouverites to record the serial numbers of not only their bicycles, but any other valuable items as well. “It’s an easy, proactive way to protect your belongings.” While stolen bikes can be found for sale on classified sites like Kijiji and Craigslist, the constable says they get stolen for other reasons as well, making them even more of a target. “Bikes get sold on websites and secondhand stores, but also get stolen for transportation and parts,” he says. “If they can sell it, they’ll take it.”
Tips to keeping your valuables safe: • Lock it, even if it’s for a couple of minutes. • Engrave personal property with your driver’s license or BC ID number. • Record serial number, make, model, colour and any identifying marks (ow.ly/lFlMW). • Photograph or video items that don’t have recordable markings such as jewelry, art, heirlooms and antiques. • If your property goes missing, report it. Thousands of items obtained from crime are recovered, only to be auctioned off because the owner can’t be identified. The VPD is having a crime prevention forum June 6 from 7-9pm for members of the West End and Coal Harbour at the West End Community Centre (870 Denman, Barclay Room).

Manhole design winners announced
T
he Ironclad Art Manhole Design Challenge announced two winners on Saturday. Each created unique manhole cover designs that will come to life on the streets of Vancouver this summer. The Storm Sewer design winner is Nigel Dembicki (left) and the Sanitary Sewer design winner is Andrew Dexel (right). The two grand prize winners received $2,000 each. “It’s fantastic to see the City’s public art program working with our engineering department and such talented local artists to make Vancouver an even more beautiful community, ” said Mayor Gregor Robertson. The review panel selected a short list of 28 artists who receive passes to cultural events throughout the city. From that shortlist, the panel selected the two best designs. Voting continues until June 8 for two People’s Choice awards at IroncladArt.ca. Here are abridged jury notes on
the grand prize winners: • Nigel Dembecki (storm) — The jury appreciated the clarity and technical execution of this contemporary work. The design worked from multiple angles; when turned upside down, the clouds looked like water. While appearing somewhat abstract as a whole, the symbolism of the purpose very clear. • Andrew Dexel (sanitary) — While this design may have an ambiguous relationship to sewers, the jury found it to be a distinctive work that looked fantastic as a 2D design. They found it playful and appreciated how well the artist applied the work to the shape. They also felt the work would hold up through time. The contest highlights the importance of our separated sewer system. As the City replaces and upgrades old sewer mains each year, two new pipes are laid to help prevent flooding and eliminate overflow into waterways.

New Antiquarians: Sincerity is in Questioning consumerism and spending money thoughtfully vs. ironically has brought together a generation of youth who care again By Emelia Symington Fedy
I
was first introduced to the term New Antiquarian at a dinner party a few months ago. A professor sitting across from me was complaining that some of his students didn’t want their assignments emailed to them anymore. They preferred to write their homework out by hand — in pencil. This blew my mind, so I started asking around and, like the old adage goes, “what you seek, ye shall find.” I became bombarded with an entirely new and at the same time incredibly old way of life.
LONGING FOR A RETURN TO SIMPLICITY
New Antiquarians have been around for generations, but the lifestyle has only recently been named. Take a person who only buys high-quality goods (hopefully made by hand), always ethically sourced and only if it is useful. It’s harder to visually pin down a New Antiquarian, however, because fashion isn’t the point. The movement is not about how you look, instead it’s about how you act. But if you pressed me for a stereotype, though, I’d say: find a person dressed in well-made hiking boots, a plaid shirt, moustache wax, a colonially shaped beard, and possibly smoking a pipe and you can be pretty sure you have spotted a New Antiquarian in his natural habitat. The lifestyle recently needed defining for a very specific reason, and this is where I get to go urban anthropologist on your ass. It emerged in direct response to “The Hipster.” Hipster did not used to be a dirty word. In fact, in the late ‘90s it was an important political movement. Youth culture at the time was feeling hopeless and exhausted. They saw the hippies burn out, they saw the punk movement die, they realized that they could not make any sort of significant difference and in retaliation, “The Hipster” decided to quit. Nihilism and irony came together to create a youth movement that cried, “We can’t do anything to help change the world, so let’s stop caring about anything at all.” This apathy was shown with their intent on be-

Laura McGuire photo ing cool through music, the jobs they took (ever notice the rise in baristas in the early 2000s?) and their fashion sense. Half perms! Oversized sweaters with kittens on them! Cartoon glasses! How much can you prove through your wardrobe that you aren’t trying? This cynical lifestyle also included buying items for form rather than function. For example: Collecting working typewriters and making them into art or buying a broken instrument and leaning it in the corner of your room as a conversation starter. Hipsters had a laissez-faire humour and if anyone ever called them on this behavior they could say “I’m just making a joke.” This attitude annoyed a lot of people. It brought back memories of high school where the fashion forward popular kids
made the rest of us feel unworthy and ashamed of ourselves. So “Hipster” then became a generic term for “a young person who acts cooler than me” and that triggered a wave of resentment and contempt. Born out of sadness and loss, the Hipster culture became commodified quickly. Looking and acting cool became more important than the roots behind the movement and mainstream society capitalized on the craze. Two companies that helped Hipsterdom prosper were Vice Magazine and American Apparel. Soon 12-year-olds started wearing skinny jeans and “geek” T-shirts. And when Tweens are sporting it, you know that a fad is nearing its last breath. Cut to a few years ago when Hipsterdom was in its death throes, and Hipster crossed the line of political statement into obnoxious caricature of itself. An entire decade had gone by with this “who gives a shit” snobbery and a new generation of youth were getting tired of being seen as uncaring and meaningless. The word that is most used to characterize the New Antiquarian is sincerity.
ents and the packaging is as thoughtful as the food inside. A good example of a shop that caters to a New Antiquarian crowd is The Found and The Freed. This shop is run by two women who hunt through old barns, scout antique fairs and barter at estate auctions to find their gems. They tell me that half the selling feature is the story behind the item. “Who owned this before you and what was it used for?” is the first question shop owners Lindsey Burke and Ainsley McIntyre always get asked. And they love thinking creatively about how to use old items in a new way. One example was repurposing an old stretcher from the Second World War. It was water faded and stained green from iron deposits; they turned it into a beautiful and functional dining room table. And now, the centerpiece of the room has an amazing history they can talk about while the family gathers around it to eat. Clint Moroz, who runs Space Lab (another New Antiquarian haunt) on Main Street says it perfectly: “Even though we are infinitely connected, we are so distant from each other and this movement is trying to bridge that gap.” Moroz is seeing his customers throwing away their cell phones and cancelling their Twitter and Facebook accounts. Privacy and face-to-face connections are expected and if you don’t have time to call me in the real world then maybe we aren’t friends after all. This is refreshing and yet reminiscent of the past. Are we going back in time? Moroz is noticing a trend in people going back to the trades. A bachelor’s degree will no longer find you work and answering one hundred emails in a day is less than fulfilling. However, getting a job as a barber, or a cobbler or a plumber? These are careers that use your hands and your mind, where you can see proof of your accomplishments at the end of the day. These are professions that can get you a down payment on a house. Hunter Mayer of Both Feet is a good example of this switch over into trades. He apprenticed with a cobbler and now works in the industry full time. He takes his time with his craft and knows what the hell he’s talking about. Sometimes he gives deals just because he feels like it.
CARING IS COOL AGAIN

June 6 – 12, 2013
Wanting to be part of something that matters is valued and thoughtfulness is in style. Can you believe it? What this means in tangible terms is that a New Antiquarian asks themselves a few simple questions before purchasing goods and services. These include, Where was it made? Who made it? How long will it last? Is it of the highest quality? So instead of buying six shirts from Urban Outfitters from the sale pile, you buy one locally designed shirt for $200 that will last you four times as long. Care is put into the creation of the product from the top down and functionality is of the utmost importance. Items are made in small batches with only the finest ingredi-

TIMELESS OR TRENDY?
Of course there is always life span to movements and the New Antiquarians could go the way of the Hipster soon enough. When you see a new pocket watch for sale, made to look tarnished and old, that is the commodification of the trend. When you see factory-produced clothes overpriced because they have a “home made” appeal to them, that is the fad gone awry. There is also the fact that high-quality items cost more money, so if we want to live in a sincere and thoughtful way, we will have to start buying less and spending more. Walter Manning started Old Faithful, the original New Antiquarian shop in Vancouver, and it is the most successful presence on the scene. The store is a very classy curation of only the finest products. Manning comes from a lineage of general store owners. His grandfather and grandmother on both sides of his family ran general stores as did his
great grandfathers, so he is keeping with tradition and putting a contemporary spin on it to make it his own. Following the trend means we have to engage with every purchase we make by asking, Do I need this? Can I find it more locally sourced elsewhere? It may mean saying no to impulses. It would take discipline. But it also means surrounding yourself in beauty and authenticity. Being a New Antiquarian is enjoying the story of where your new purchase comes from as much as you love the item itself. It’s feeling proud that you can make a difference because your money and where you spend it shapes the world. Now that’s a movement I can get behind.

These are the only women I found in the game. They search for the furniture and art in barns, at antique fairs and at estate sales. They sometimes have a hard time selling certain pieces because they become so special to them personally. To them, where the item came from and the story behind it is just as important as the item itself.

here aren’t a lot of eating establishments in Vancouver where parents with toddlers can feast on fresh, delicious food and feel welcome and appreciated. But a stone’s throw off of Commercial Drive, Mary Macintyre and her team have been doing just that: serving up an alternative for young families who want to eat out — and eat well — in a joyful, child-friendly environment. Since 2007, Macintyre has welcomed harried parents and their young charges to Little Nest, her Charles Street café crammed with vintage toys and retro décor and featuring a revolving menu of inventive brunch dishes and decadent desserts (all crafted from organic ingredients). It’s a sunlit, homey space where mothers can breastfeed their wee ones and toddlers can melt down without fear of judgment. “I want people to feel like they’re coming into my home,” said Macintyre, a Dubrulletrained pastry chef who worked at Lumiere before motherhood altered her course. “[Little Nest] has that same happy chaos you find in most homes that have young children in them.” Macintyre originally sought to fill what she considered a need for high-quality baked goods and creative breakfast dishes on Commercial Drive.

hen Kevin Kelly decided to turn his love for skateboarding into a business, he opened Blvd Skateshop in Kerrisdale. Not surprisingly, Kelly’s entrepreneurial paean to a youthful subculture wasn’t quite the right fit for the neighborhood. “I stuck out like a sore thumb,” he says with a laugh. And so, in 2009 he moved the business to Commercial Drive, where “there’s never been a shortage of people trying crazy ideas.” He fit right in. A melting pot of cultures, communities and ages, The Drive has a vibe and energy that pulses at the heart of East Vancouver. Passersby made sure they stopped by the store to say hello and welcome to the neighborhood. People thanked him for opening a business there. And, of course, skateboarders loved being able to shop for boards, clothes and shoes so close to one of their favourite places to try them out — China Creek skatepark. It’s a bit of a coming home for Kelly, who grew up in North Delta but whose grandparents’ house still stands on Adanac Street. He lived for 10 years on Davie Street, and the two streets have the same feel. And even though The Drive has become a destination for people who live outside the neighbourhood, it has kept its sense of realness because it’s not only a place to shop. “It’s where you live and eat and go to the chiropractor’s.”

But the very characteristics that make it a liveable area are also making it a more expensive one for shop owners. Landlords can demand higher rents as the neighbourhood’s popularity grows, making it more difficult for mom-and-pop (or skateboarder dude) shops to thrive. So-called anarchist groups are targetting some of the very people who are trying to make a go of it. “Often they’re targetting the business owners but it’s the commercial landlords causing this shift in the look and feel of The Drive,” says Kelly. While there will always be gentrification pressures on the neighbourhood, “I think it’s always going to be The Drive. There will always be people like myself that will take the plunge.” Here are a few of Kelly’s favourite places on Commercial Drive. • Gramma Publications (2089 Commercial): Kelly goes to him for all of his photocopying and printing needs. The owner will drop things off at the shop. • High Fidelty Hair, formerly the Chop Shop (1035 Commercial): It’s close, it’s got a neighbourhood feel and the haircuts are great. • Donald’s Market (2279 Commercial): Good selection and good prices. • La Mezcaleria restaurant (1622 Commercial): “It’s amazing.” No favourites yet “because I haven’t gone through the whole menu.” • Falconetti’s East Side Grill (1812 Commercial): A great place to go for drinks.

Child-friendly café needs to find new roost continued from page 6 The child-friendly aspect came second, and sprung from what Macintyre — a mother to two young sons — called selfish reasons. “I needed this café to be okay with my kids, and that’s what people grasped on to and really embraced,” she said. “I think the fact that it became popular for that reason just goes to show the big gaping hole in the market.” This doesn’t mean that Little Nest discriminates against non-parent diners. “Some of our most regular customers are people who either have grown children or no children at all,” said Macintyre. These patrons tell her that they come just as much for the ambience as they do for the food, according to Macintyre. “They feel like they’re in a family home.” Despite its popularity among parents and non-parents, Little Nest is losing its perch. Macintyre’s landlords recently presented her with a new three-year lease in which her rent
Summer 2013
will rise by 50 per cent. “It was a clear message that they don’t really want me in the building, and I couldn’t sign it,” she said. “I’ve really wanted to move [Little Nest], but unfortunately that requires finances.” Macintyre has looked into other spaces on Commercial Drive and in other neighbourhoods — and has met with a couple of people who’ve expressed an interest in buying the Little Nest concept and making a go of it elsewhere — but as yet, nothing has panned out, and Little Nest will shutter in mid-July. “I wasn’t given enough notice with this rent increase and I’m running out of time,” she said. It won’t go quietly: a recently launched Save Little Nest Facebook page accumulated more than 2,000 members in its first week and its numbers are growing. Members are sharing their Little Nest memories, planning a Little Nest “love-in” for June 16, and evaluating the merits of a crowd-funding campaign.

CAMBIE STREET CAMBIE STREET
Sculptor Marie Khouri is thrilled that her bench at the Olympic Village Station takes art out of the galleries and onto the streets. Submitted photo
Street art: connecting through creativity By Gen Handley
D
uring the Vancouver Winter Olympics local artist Marie Khouri was asked to create a sculpture for Olympic Village Station. “I wanted to come out of the galleries and museums and make my work available for the public — it was a very liberating experience,” she says. What Khouri created for the people at the Cambie Street station was an 11-foot, concrete bench — an abstract piece that attracted people in a number of different, engaging ways.
“I’d see kids playing on it, couples kissing on it, people reading on it,” she says. “It became more engaging than I could ever have imagined. “And kids would skateboard on it,” she adds laughing. “At first I was bit angry, but they started sending me the tricks they were doing on it and we kind of developed a friendly relationship.” Khouri’s bench is part of InTransit BC’s Canada Line Public Art Program, which adds some colour to Skytrain riders’ experiences by installing the works of local, emerging artists at Canada Line’s stations. The program
partners closely with Emily Carr, the UBC Art Department and Langara College to access the deep well of creativity in this city. “We’re offering emerging artists an opportunity to showcase their pieces in a really public place,” says program co-manager and curator Janice Fairley. “It enhances the experience of the passengers and connects the artists with the community. Public art is a great way to get people to pay attention to their surroundings.” And like the couples kissing or the people reading on Khouri’s bench, the pieces along the Cam-
bie corridor engage an increasingly passive audience. “What I love about it is that they don’t have their blinders on —they’re not just getting from A to B and not noticing anything,” she says. “A lot of people these days are looking down, on their phones — unfortunately it’s a part of our culture.” But the program, with the help of artists like Khouri, is creating change
and awareness by making connections between the public and the arts. “I had never placed anything so attainable to the public before,” says Khouri, who became busier and more prolific after her bench was put on display. “Something that they could posses, climb on, ride on — it was a major experience to live this through the bench.”

hen Jian Ghomeshi was a teenager, he knew he’d one day speak to large crowds of people — and he had more than instinct to go on. “I remember seeing this psychic who told me, ‘I see you in front of people, and there’s a crowd listening to what you have to say, but I can’t tell exactly what it is you’re doing,’” said Ghomeshi. “That always stuck with me, because it was creepy and it made sense.” Score one for the psychic. Today Ghomeshi, 45, is the award-winning host of the CBC’s multi-platform culture-watcher, Q, and an author, journalist, singer, songwriter, and holder of countless other titles that put him in front of large crowds of people. Ghomeshi’s name, wit and visage are becoming increasingly synonymous with the national broadcaster, which is perhaps why he was tapped to host a series of media events launching the CBC’s 20132014 season across the country last month. “I’m someone who’s passionate about learning, passionate about people, passionate about storytelling, and I really love this country,” Ghomeshi told WE during the Vancouver event at District 319. Ghomeshi’s passion extends to Vancouver, where he lived for a short spell in 2005 and where he regularly returns for CBC and assorted events. “I think that Vancouver is a cultural place, and there is a really strong and powerful artistic tradition here,” said Ghomeshi, who recently covered

$ For art and culture to thrive, it must have government support, says CBC’s Jian Ghomeshi. Joanne Klimaszewski photo the Safar/Voyage exhibit at the Museum of Anthropology for Q. “I think what Vancouver needs to embrace is that art and culture is its identity and it doesn’t happen without government support.” And the support, said Ghomeshi, must extend to the national broadcaster. “It’s amazing that CBC is doing as well as it is now [creatively], but I think we need to be realistic that with more cuts, this thing will start to bleed,” he said.

Referendum promise hangs over TransLink By Jeff Nagel
T
ransLink board chair Nancy Olewiler hopes the re-elected BC Liberal government soon clarifies its plans for a referendum on increased transit funding. “The premier made that commitment and I’m waiting like everybody else to find out what that actually means,” Olewiler said last Wednesday following TransLink’s annual general meeting. Olewiler said there’s considerable skepticism about a referendum on paying more taxes for transit after the defeat of the harmonized sales tax.
The promised referendum in November 2014, at the same time as municipal elections, was pledged in the BC Liberal platform with few details. Transit advocates fear voters will block new funding and leave the system unable to expand. During the election campaign, Transportation Minister Mary Polak suggested voters wouldn’t have a veto over all new funding — they’d have to approve some new revenue source for TransLink from a menu of options. Olewiler said that would have been “wonderful.” But Premier Christy Clark quickly contradicted her minister and emphasized no new money for Trans-
Link would be extracted from residents without their consent in the referendum. Newly elected B.C. Liberal MLA Peter Fassbender is expected to play a significant role in the debate within government but said Thursday he can’t predict how the referendum promise will play out. “Everybody’s saying ‘What’s the question?’ I don’t know because we haven’t done the work to formulate what it is and where we want to go. But I don’t think we should be afraid of it.” Fassbender said government might as a first step decide on short-term funding that would bridge TransLink through while more complex details of longerterm options are worked out.

HEALTH & WELLNESS
Treatment to get your body on track
In the world of the human body, a build-up of stress can directly translate into serious aches and pains At Back2Health Chiropractic, all the therapists on staff are trained to treat a myriad of body pains quickly and effectively through an impressive array of manual therapies, from Chiropractic adjustments to Trigenics Functional Neurology and CranioSacral therapy. “We address more than just back pain or neck pain. We work on shoulders, rotator cuff injuries, running injuries, headaches, foot problems, etc. We incorporate a lot of soft tissue work in our treatment sessions so we can deal with repetitive strain injuries and similar issues directly. Some patients describe our sessions as ‘physio, massage and chiropractic all rolled up into one’.” Back2Health chiropractic treatment sessions are usually booked in 20- to 30-minute increments, giving the doctors enough time to incorporate a more holistic approach to healing the entire body. Patients often walk out of the office saying they feel lighter, taller, stronger or more stable. The benefits? “One of the main benefits to visiting a chiropractor is pain relief. Whether it’s from an acute injury like a sprain, strain, fall or twisting incident – or a more chronic, repetitive issue – we don’t turn anyone away. If we can’t provide our patients with significant relief within a few sessions, we provide them with other options.” With sunny days turning the city into a figurative race track, athletic injuries are becoming more common in their clinic – especially for the ‘weekend warriors.’ So, the doctors at Back2Health encourage regular tune ups to help shift your

You don’t just go to the gym once, have a workout and then say, ‘There you go. I’m done. I’m in shape now.’ You have to make a consistent effort to try to change the body from the way it is, to the way you want it to be. Health is not an event; it’s a process.” To change the way the body works and feels, proactive treatments are the key – instead of only reacting when something hurts. Dr. Guenette, the clinic owner, says, “If you want your body to run like a Formula One race car, you need to be tuned up a lot more often to stay in that kind of shape and that kind of performance. On the other hand, if you need
your body to function more like a family car – something you need to simply take you from point A to point B – you still need to check in every once in a while; you just don’t need as much fine-tuning.” Want to find out what causes all that tension and pain? “Most are surprised when I tell them over 80 per cent of the people who come into my office in pain have no idea what caused it. When we look at their typical behaviour patterns it becomes a lot more obvious: mental/emotional stress plays a big role. At Back2Health, we also address this stress component. “At Back2Health, we know everyone possesses the capacity to feel their best; each of us just needs a little nudge every once in a while – whether it’s to the mind or body – to

Let them drink craft beer! Vancouver Craft Beer Week to bring in an expected $1.5 million for local businesses By Gen Handley
W
ith nine days of beer and food events, ranging from a Sommelierguided food pairing to a BBQ-fueled hoedown Vancouver Craft Beer Week (VCBW) has become
a major cultural and economic event in the city. VCBW marketing director Chris Bjerrisgaard says the week brings in about $1.5 million to the local economy. “We like to think we contributed to what was an already growing beer scene,” he says. This week is riding on what was already going on and building on that — and I’m really proud of what it’s become.” “People are starting to cross it off on their calendars months before,” says Tyson Reimer, owner of Pekinpah and the Woodland Smokehouse,
8 craft beers locally brewed on site. Join us on a beer tour and tasting. Please call for tour times and details. For more details go to www.docksidevancouver.com. Reservations 604-685-7070 In the Granville Island Hotel, 1253 Johnston St, Granville Island. Valet parking available.
We’ll drink to that: VCBW’s opening night at the Roundhouse was a sold-out success. Jason Roessle photo
participating venues in VCBW. “I’m big fan of what [VCBW] is doing, but as a business owner, I’d be stupid not to get involved. We definitely get a lot of exposure and hopefully a few new customers.” Before the week even commences, a lot of the events sell out, including the Woodland Smokehouse’s Hillbilly BBQ, which ran out of tickets in less than a week this year. “I’m amazed at what they’ve done in a fairly short period of time,” Reimer says. In the four years that VCBW has taken place, it has exploded from 30 breweries to close to 70 this year. “They’re a really cool, organized bunch to work with — they have their shit together and they’re helping small business.” On top of the business reasons to get involved, Reimer loves being a part of the growing community. “It’s a cool vibe with everyone working together. It’s one of the few big events that feels like it’s
truly Vancouver; there are a lot of grassroots connection.” Another business, or fleet of businesses, the Donnelly Group, is also participating and is one of the major sponsors for VCBW. About three years ago, all of the 16 Donnelly pubs and bars began pouring only craft beer from their taps. Trevor Kallies, bar and beverage director, says business “definitely picks up” during craft beer week. “Being a part of this helps us solidify ourselves in the craft beer community, which we admire and want to be a part of — it shows we actually care and we’re not just slapping our name on a banner, that we’re fully involved,” Kallies says. “We’re putting together events that aren’t just money-makers but, I’d like to think, are fun and interesting as well. Local craft beer, the local brewers, our partnerships are essential for the way we do business and our establishments — for that quality.”
Among a number of events, Donnelly Group is holding the All or Nothing Craft Beer Crawl, which entails having a passport stamped when you purchase a Ninkasi Brewing pint at each of their pubs. Once the passport has been completely stamped, you can attend their VCBW afterparty where you’ll be entered to win a trip to Ninkasi Brewery in Eugene, Oregon. “The tour gets people going to places they might not go to or think is a craft beer location,” Kallies says. “I think we’ll get some new fans from this.” “It’s a really, really good week for Vancouver and it’s a great week for craft beer,” he adds later. “I don’t think we have a week as fun and as exciting as this any other time in Vancouver.” Vancouver Craft Beer Week continues until June 8, including the two-day closing festival at River Rock Casino on June 7 and 8.

Father’s Day for foodies FollowMeFoodie By Mijune Pak
T
here is always an abundance of brunches and food events for Mother’s Day, but how about celebrating the other person who brought us here? Happy Father’s Day, dad! Sometimes he is the one putting our daily bread on the table, so it is only fair that he gets more than French toast on this occasion. There are never as many Father’s Day events to show dad we care. However this year, there are unique events not necessarily catered to Father’s Day, but nonetheless appropriate for any dad figure in the family.
Brewery & The Beast In a food movement towards vegetarianism, there are still those who enjoy meat. Brewery & The Beast is where carnivores unite. Sunday, June 16 is the 1st Annual Festival of Meat at Concord Pacific Place lot, featuring all-you-can-eat ethically raised and local meat. Vancouver chefs will be showcasing their passion for meat and guests are invited to indulge in whole pig and lamb roasts, charcuterie, sausage, bacon and BBQ. Endless beer, wine and house-made sodas will be accompanied by your smoky, sweet animal friends. It will be a messy Father’s Day and thank goodness it is from 1-4pm because it leaves enough time for everyone to recover from intense meat sweats and
prepare for “Meatless Monday” or “More Meat Monday”. Partial proceeds go to support BC Hospitality Foundation. Moo, oink, baa, cluck‚ and zzzz. Tickets: $79 | BreweryAndTheBeast.com
Wine & Swine Continuing the meat madness, this is perfect for any bacon lover. On Father’s Day, Township 7 Vineyard & Winery hosts the 1st Annual Father’s Day Wine & Swine from 11am-4pm at its winery in Langley (21152 16th Ave). Chef Ryan Bissel from Beast and Brine will be cooking an array of bacon including pancetta, prosciutto, candied bacon, back bacon, lamb bacon and heritage bacon. Bacon will be paired with Township 7 wines and Cartems Donuterie will feature its Bourbon bacon doughnuts. Proceeds go to Pacific Assistance Dogs Society. Tickets $15 | Township7.com
A Chocolate Buffet at YEW It’s the first Father’s Day Brunch at YEW, and they are off to a sweet start. Sometimes the chocoholic in the family isn’t always mom or the kids, it’s dad. YEW is featuring a three-course brunch where the last course is a chocolate buffet. The first hotel restaurant with a 100 per cent Ocean Wise menu in Vancouver offers dad a la carte options including the YEW Cobster Salad featuring a whole lobster, avocado, six-minute egg, prosciutto and Green Goddess dressing. Don’t forget to order a BC Spot Prawn cocktail to start. Price $57/per person | YEWSeafood.com
Chuck Hughes at West Not every Father has the luxury of having Sunday off, so celebrate early by taking him to an exclusive Chuck Hughes event at West Restaurant. On June 13, 6-9pm, Barbara-Jo’s Books to Cooks is hosting a reception with French-Canadian celebrity chef Chuck Hughes. The event includes cocktails, wine and Hughes-inspired canapés from West Restaurant, as well as a signed copy of his latest cookbook, Chuck’s Day Off. Tickets $95 | BooksToCooks.com
Other options... If dad does not fit the society stereotype of a “manly man” by indulging in (red) meat, then there are many other options. Dim Sum at Chinese restaurants offers endless seafood options, and there are still a couple weeks of BC Spot Prawn season. Grill some up at home or visit the Saturday Farmers Market for local veggies and cook a nice meal at home.

his week I had the good fortune of attending an event at Vancouver Urban Winery with one of the wine world’s brightest luminaries. Dubbed A Conversation with Alberto Antonini, the evening was a peek into the brilliant mind of the man himself, a superstar winemaker who travels the world, selecting winery projects to work with where he sees incredible potential. Alberto actually hits British Columbia a few times every year to work with Summerland’s Okanagan Crush Pad, but we’ll get to that in a bit. A Tuscan-born veteran of the industry who made wine at notable places such as Frescobaldi and Antinori in Italy, his global consulting began years ago with a friend in Argentina who simply called him up looking for his help. Jumping at the opportunity, partially because he thought Argentina to be an interesting and exotic place to apply his craft, it was the start of a new career that’s now found him consulting in Chile, California, South Africa, Spain, and elsewhere. He despises the title ‘Flying Winemaker,’ because he feels that many of those who embrace that label apply a generic recipe wherever they go, creating a global sameness in the wines they work with, regardless of the place they come from. Alberto’s vision is different: cultivating wines that speak to their terroir, expressing a sense of place with as little winery intervention as possible. He came of age in a world where both vines and wines were largely doctored — polluted with pesticides and herbicides, a few added enzymes here, a splash of tartaric acid there — and has come to learn that there’s a better way. He says that the more he knows, the less he does, in the goal of building genuine, honest wines that taste like the land where they grew.
Here are some of those wines he’s had a hand in:
Poggiotondo 2011 Toscana Bianco | Tuscany, Italy | $14.99 | BC Liquor Stores This is actually home base, his own winery that delivers this bottle of Tuscan sunshine. A pleasant blend of Vermentino, Ansonica and Malvasia that shines with lemon, mineral and herbs.
Poggiotondo 2009 Chianti Superiore | Tuscany, Italy | $31-34 | Private Wine Stores Aged in French Oak for a year, this is true Chianti composed of Sangiovese with a wee bit of Merlot, offering dark fruit and a unique complexity from the soil that contains fossilised seashells and limestone.
Greenstone 2008 Shiraz | Heathcote, Australia | $44-48 | Private Wine Stores Want a big, jammy, sweet and heavy Aussie Shiraz? You’re in the wrong place! Some of the oldest soils in the world and an elegant hand make this a beautiful wonder; full of upbeat berry fruit, pepper and gleaming minerality. Special occasion worthy!
Bite into life!
Altos Las Hormigas 2012 Malbec Clásico | Mendoza, Argentina | $15.99 | BC Liquor Stores
Sedation Dentistry Implant Restorations Invisalign Invisible Braces General & Cosmetic Dentistry
Haywire 2011 Pinot Gris | Summerland, British Columbia | $19.99 | BC Liquor Stores

Re-think Argentinian Malbec with this wild-fermented beauty that brings lively currants, spices and a hint of espresso.
Alberto is encouraged by the Okanagan’s climate and terroir, both of which he feels deliver wines with elegance and finesse. This concrete-egg-fermented Gris brings both, carrying guava, peach, lime and a wonderful richness.

Matt Stowe advances to Top Chef Canada finals By Martha Perkins
him realize that although being a chef was equally hard work, it too came with its rewards. Stowe, who eventually hopes to open his own restaurant, is mum on what viewers can expect in next week’s finale, except that “it will be exciting.” The man who gets to bear the title Top Chef Canada 2013 will be revealed June 10 on the Food Network.
T
here aren’t many times when a crowded room at a Cactus Club Cafe falls silent — when a server drops a tray of wine glasses, perhaps, or in the dying minutes of a tied gold medal Olympic hockey game when everyone is holding their collective breath. At approximately five to seven on Monday night, one of those moments occurred at the Cactus Club on Burrard. The four judges of Top Chef Canada had already chosen two of the three finalists who would advance to the Season 3 finale. It was now down to Matthew Stowe, the Cactus Club’s product development chef, and Dennis Tay, who works with Season 2 winner Carl Henirch’s Toronto restaurant, for the third and final spot. Stowe’s Vancouver supporters had gathered round the bar, ready to either cheer him on or tell him that the judges didn’t know what they were talking about. All eyes were on the television screens. Stowe stood near the door, having to hear, for the second time, the judges tear apart the vegetarian pasta dish he’d made with Air Canada’s first class passengers in mind. Only this time, his friends, co-workers and a collected group of food writers were listening in, too. (Was that a wince when a judge used the word “bombed”?) Silence. Tension. Anticipation. And then the judges said goodbye to Tay, which meant that Stowe advanced. The room erupted. “Why? Do I always look this stressed,” owner Richard Jaffray said when asked if he had any hint of the outcome. “That was very nerve wracking. It definitely was a tough one to watch.” Jaffray is full of admiration for Stowe, who joined Cactus Club three years ago. “He’s just a
Matthew Stowe celebrates his advance to the Season 3 finale with Cactus Club Cafe owner Richard Jaffray on June 3. Cactus Club photo real, genuine, good guy,” whose job it is to “figure out what people want before they know it.” “This is a test of who you are as a chef,” says Stowe, who wanted to be on the show to find out — the hard way — what other chefs across Canada had up their apron. Only 30 years old, Stowe already has 14 years of experience in the kitchen. In Grade 11, he took a cooking course at his high school in Cloverdale; he wanted to be able to fend for himself when he left home after graduation. He was hooked. That year he became one of the Hotel Vancouver’s youngest employees, watching and learning how everything’s done, from feeding 1,000 people at a banquet to cooking people’s breakfast eggs just the way they want them. He spent four years in New York, graduating from the Culinary Institute of America and working at the French restaurant, Lutece. In 2004, the 23-year-old moved back to his home province to become executive chef of Sonora Resort. It was during his tenure that Sonora was accepted into Relais

A
prince with an Oedipus Rex complex. A queen who has her lover killed. A duke’s henchman who will save the life of a man whose girlfriend is pregnant if the man’s sister has sex with him. And cross-dressing guests who celebrate love at a sumptuous hotel. Never let it be said that Shakespeare is dull. This year’s Bard on the Beach offers four new takes on Shakespeare’s ability to see through humankind’s foibles and strip our souls bare. Ye Olde England makes way for more modern settings of some of his most compelling plays. Twelfth Night is reset in 1913 at the What You Will Hotel and Spa, where “everyone is falling in love with someone who is not exactly who them seem. It previews June 12, 16, 18, 19, 21, 23 and 25 and opens June 26. In a 21st century world of power and privilege, Hamlet struggles to find the truth about the death of his father and the man who usurped his father both on the throne and in the matrimonial bed. It previews June 13, 14, 15, 20, 22, 27 and 28 and opens June 29.
New Orleans jazz provides the musical backdrop to a 1900s version of Measure for Measure, a “dark comedy of hypocrisy, sexual repression and the true nature of justice.” It previews July 3, 4, 7 and 10 and opens July 11. Timothy Findley’s Elizabeth Rex reveals the woman behind the powdered mask of Queen Elizabeth I. Alone on the throne and determined to be respected (and feared) as a leader, she’s forced to subjugate her feelings for the Earl of Essex on the night before his death. It previews July 5, 6, 9 and 12 and opens July 14. Other special events include a lecture series on July 15 and 29 and August 12 and 19; the book launch (with sword fight) of Bard Explored: Shakespeare’s Rebel on July 22; a sit-down salmon barbecue and fireworks viewing on July 27 and 31 and August 3; a wine tasting on August 17; and Viva Verdi! with the UBC Opera Ensemble and members of the Vancouver Opera Orchestra on August 26 and September 2. Bard on the Beach runs Tues-Sun from June 12 to September 14 under the tents in Vanier Park. Order tickets online at BardOnTheBeach.org or call 604-739-0559.

Les Mis: Powerhouse musical returns with 25th Anniversary edition
A
fter a bombastic foray onto the silver screen in 2012, the dream Fantine dreamed returns to us in its gloriously familiar live-theatrical form. Cameron Mackintosh’s all-new ‘25th Anniversary production’ of Les Misérables — the longest running musical in the world — features glorious new staging and spectacularly reimagined scenery inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo. The powerful, five-star musical has only become grittier and more honest in its storytelling since it first débuted at London’s Barbican Theatre in 1985. Based on Hugo’s classic novel, Les Misérables is a sweeping and heartbreaking, yet ultimately uplifting story about the survival of the human spirit. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, it tells the enthralling story of ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, hunted for decades by the ruthless police-
man Javert after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine’s young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever. The magnificent score of Les Misérables includes the classic songs “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” “One Day More,” “Do You Hear the People Sing?,” and many more. Seen by nearly 60 million people worldwide in 42 countries and in 21 languages, Les Misérables is one of the most popular musicals ever written. Performances run from June 12 to June 23 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. Tickets are available at all Ticketmaster locations, at Ticketmaster.ca or call toll-free 1-855-985-5000. Prices vary in range depending on performance, seat location, and date of purchase and start at $35.00 plus service charges. LesMis.com

HOT TICKETS Get ready for a dose of good music Jazz fest is a jolt of Vitamin J By Martha Perkins
I
n the musical laboratory otherwise known as Coastal Jazz, they’ve been working on something called Vitamin J. “Earlier clinical results show it guards against bad taste in music and reduces boredom while increasing your rhythm quotient and appreciation of all things jazz,” says John Orysik. Orysik is media director of Coastal Jazz, which hosts the even-better-than-ever TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival from June 21 to July 1. While jazz stars Herbie Hancock, Esperanza Spalding, Alex Cuba and the up-and-coming Nikki Yanofsky might steal the headlines, it’s the free, public concerts and overall energy of the festival that will officially let summer reign in
every music lover’s heart. “There are more music choices than ever and more venues,” says executive director Fatima Amarshi. Deliberate effort is put into attracting names that will appeal to die-hard jazz fans of all genres as well as attract new listeners who can get a taste of a rich variety of jazz styles before venturing more towards their favourites. The downtown street parties and concerts will have beer gardens as well as family-friendly events. Asked what she loves about the festival, Amarshi smiles and says, “When the music hits the groove, something magical happens.” For City of Vancouver councillor Heather Deal, jazz fest is “an important part of the vibrant social scene in Vancouver.” She remembers dancing to the music
at last year’s Robson Street party, oblivious to the pouring rain. “We are a fun city, no matter what anyone says,” she says. Orysik encourages everyone to put a little Vitamin J in their lives. “It’s joy and jubilation for everyone with no adverse side effects. You don’t need a prescription; you just need a program guide.”

Starring Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson Directed by Shawn Levy Comedic duo Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson attempt to revive their Wedding Crashers magic in Shawn Levy’s latest comedy effort and, although the movie is formulaic, it’s also chock-full of charms. The pair play salesmen suddenly confronted with unemployment, thanks to the digital age. They decide to embrace technology by interning at Google, the self-proclaimed ‘best place to work in America’. Once there, they must compete with a group of savvy young go-getters for a coveted permanent job at corporate headquarters. The most satisfying and perhaps surprising aspect of the film is just how much energy the two leads put into their respective roles. The movie
Before Midnight one of the year’s best films BEFORE MIDNIGHT
Starring Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy Directed by Richard Linklater In 1995’s beloved Before Sunrise, Jesse (Ethan Hawke) — a scruffy American — and Céline (Julie Delpy) — a mercurial Parisian — strolled the streets of Vienna, turning from strangers into intimates in the course of a night. In one of their countless eloquent exchanges, Jesse cynically opined that

any lovers would eventually grow to resent one another’s habits and mannerisms. Céline countered that such tendencies would only grow more endearing over time. Eighteen years later (and nine years after they were reunited in Before Sunset), director Richard Linklater tests their respective theories. Despite a picturesque setting, their fairytale romance has run headlong into the realities of adulthood. Céline is at a career crossroads, while Jesse is beset by guilt over his failings as a parent. And whereas the series’ previous two instalments saw the pair practically inhabiting a world of their own, they now never seem to have a moment to themselves. “It’s tough out there in time and space,” Jesse quips at one point. It’s a sentiment that Before Midnight takes extremely seriously. Linklater’s masterful use of long takes invites us to study how the physical attributes that first drew these characters’ together have begun to fade. As the camera continues to roll, we also see that while conversation still comes easily to the effusive pair, genuine communication is in shorter supply. Rather than simply catering to the wishes of fans who’ve yearned to visit with Jesse and Céline again, Linklater challenges viewers to reassess their own relationship with the pair. As a result, he’s not only crafted one of the year’s best films but also one of its boldest. — Curtis Woloschuk
“ IN THE TRADITION OF ‘STAND BY ME’, WITH THE OFFBEAT EDGE OF ‘MOONRISE KINGDOM’.”

The term “university” is used under the written consent of the Minister of Advanced Education effective April 11, 2007, having undergone a quality assessment process and been found to meet the criteria established by the minister.

begins with the best buds driving and singing along to Alanis Morissette blasting in their car and it’s hard not to feel they are genuinely enjoying themselves just being goofballs. The predictable gags begin to unfurl, with the tackedon romantic subplot courtesy of the talented Rose Byrne, but they’re easy to overlook as Vaughn and Wilson display a kinetic energy and provide Thor consistent laughs thanks to their Diakow rapid fire exchanges, many of which are clearly improvised. The Internship is a commercial for Google and the device starts to grow tiresome as workers constantly go about their business as if they work at an amusement park for adults. The film is strongest when its’ two stars are caught in their madcap dance of dialogue exchanges and even manages to provide some genuine heart, a welcome relief from many of today’s meanspirited comedies.

The morning after So, we went to see the Hangover III at International Village. Being “Cheap Tuesday”, the movie was pretty well sold-out, so we made sure that we were in line about 45 minutes in advance (to get decent seats). We were seated one row behind what most would consider the best seats in the house. In the middle of that prime row were two women who had been at the front of the line, waiting for an hour. On either side of them sat one empty seat. At five minutes before show time, a couple of guys waltz in and one of them says, “Could you two move over to one seat or the other so that we can sit together?” Fortunately, the women had the sense to say no. They had lined up and had prime seats — dead centre! It was bad enough that these people had the nerve to ask that of someone who had the wherewithal to get to the cinema in plenty of time. What got me was when the guy asked

if they would move, the word please was never uttered. I told the women after the movie that they had done the right thing. It’s time to stand-up to rudeness! Canadian Guy

Bike helmet Darwinism I couldn’t agree more with the ranter who suggested that we drop the compulsory cycling helmet law. Darwinism will take hold as those people without any grey matter to protect (and, thus, foolish enough to go helmet-free on busy city streets) will be taken out of the equation. There’s only one other problem to deal with, and that should be easily solved: what to do with those people who don’t wear a helmet and end up on life support (at taxpayers’ expense)? I say we re-write the law so that anyone who has put themself in such a state automatically waives government-funded health care. Let’s get on with it; the quicker we get these morons off the road, the better it will be for everyone!

So kind! I want to say a big thanks to the two young women who rushed over to help me on Thurlow on Saturday, when the bottom fell out of my shopping bag, scattering my groceries all over the sidewalk. They made sure I was okay, and then one took charge and put half of the groceries into what was left of the bag. Then she insisted that I take a classy gift bag she had received from a highend boutique for the rest. I got everything home safely, and I sure was grateful. Tom Trueman

Again to the ranter’s rebuttal (Rants, May 30.) Did it ever occur to you that maybe that driver has been driving since four in the morning or five in the morning or six in the morning? Maybe this driver hasn’t started his or her shift yet and therefore is hanging back until it is time. If they have not started their shift, maybe they are not allowed to have passengers on board due to the possibility of injuries and liability suit. There are many reasons why a bus holds back. If you do not want to wait for that bus to pull up then grab an earlier one. I know if I was a bus driver, and my shift doesn’t start for 10 minutes, I certainly would not want people on my bus. I wonder why you’re the only one that has complained and other people seem to understand. Quit with the me-attitude. Anonymous

come out against the pipeline. I have voted, past tense, for the NDP for 40 years and I could not in conscience vote for the party in this past election, nor do I think I will waste my vote in the future. We don’t vote NDP because we want pseudo-Liberals. If you think moving to the middle of the road and wiffle-waffling on serious issues that affect Canadians lives is acceptable, it’s not. People don’t need more of the same; they don’t need more vanilla. They need alternate choices. Reviewing the situation will not prevent frackers from destroying the ecology of this beautiful province nor will wiffle-waffling defeat Harper and his ruthless bunch of henchmen. Anonymous
