Alessia Cara will turn 20 years old this month, yet she has already accomplished more than many dream of. A shy singer/ songwriter with a big dream, Cara knew deep down that this is what she was born for. Instead of going right to college she took a year off school to devote to music and did what many young hopefuls are doing today, taking to YouTube to sing covers of her favourite songs.

At only 18 years old, Cara signed with Def Jam Recordings and released her first song, “Here”, which showed everyone that this girl could sing. Being compared to singers like Norah Jones is a huge compliment, and definitely well deserved by Cara. “Wild Things”, the second single off of her debut album, “Know-It-All”, was also a huge success, gaining millions of YouTube views, a ton of radio airplay, and a performance at the 2016s MMVAs. FACES had the fortunate opportunity to catch up with Alessia Cara before she headed back to North America for some performances here. She will be performing at this year’s Bluesfest in the Capital on July 13th and we are all extremely excited to see her perform.

6 | July 2016

Have you always had a passion for music? Who were some of the people that inspired you at the start of your music career?

I’ve always been passionate for music, and my first inspiration was Amy Winehouse. I discovered her music at a really young age; I think I was about 9 or 10 years old. I just fell in love with everything about her, and her music.

You started out by playing acoustic covers of popular songs on YouTube about 4-5 years ago.

What inspired you to take that path, and what was it like to see so many of your covers become so popular?

It was awesome to see it. I started doing that because I wanted to get my voice out there without having to play in front of a live audience, especially since I was so shy. I thought it would be a cool way to do it and I really enjoyed it too. I didn’t really think much of it and I didn’t think people would even see them, but over time, I played in front of family and then eventually, I started playing in front of random people that just stumbled across my videos. Fortunately, they liked them and decided to watch more of them, and that’s how it all happened.

When was your very first live show, and what was the experience like for you?

My very first live show took place when I was about 14 years old. I was at my guitar school and I had taken guitar lessons for 2 months before I stopped, but at the end of every month, you had to play in front of everyone there. We could either sing or play guitar; I chose to do both and that was my first time singing in front of anyone. I think it might have been the first time my own dad heard me sing.

I was so nervous, I didn’t think I could go up there but I did. It took a while for me to be comfortable on stage, even last year I would get nervous. Now, I’m doing these Coldplay dates and I’m going on stage without even being nervous.

Thousands of people have been watching these shows, it’s been incredible. Coldplay is one of my favourite bands and I’ve been so excited for this for so long. Every day feels surreal. I’ve listened to them forever and now that I’m opening for them, it’s the best feeling ever.

You’re actually taking a break now too and will be coming back to America. What prompted this decision?

There’s just a bunch of festivals and shows that I really wanted to do. It’s always nice to come home to North America.

On top of the singing, you’re also a very talented songwriter. Can you tell us a little bit about your song-writing process? How do you typically create the lyrics?

It’s always different for me. My album was in a set place and I worked with Sebastian on this.

Right now, my writing process is a lot different because I’m touring and am on the road so much. I’m learning how to be a songwriter in a more professional way now.

The writing process is always the biggest aspect; I can start with a melody, lyric or concept that I have. It’s slightly different now.

We started making my album about 3 years ago and now that I have more experience, it’s a lot different.

You made a difficult but smart decision to devote a year to music instead of going straight to college. What was it like making this decision and who were some of the people who supported you throughout the process?

Making that decision was definitely a scary one, and a risky one for sure. Of course we had our doubts in the beginning, especially me, because I was home every single day while my friends were at school. People were doing so many things with their lives and I wasn’t, I was just really hoping that it would work out for me. Once I got signed, I realized that this could really work as long as I worked hard and stayed focused. Not a lot of people get that opportunity so, once I was signed, I felt great.

My parents were a bit skeptical at first of course - that’s natural when your kid tells you that they’re not going to school because they want to pursue the dream they have.

However, they started believing in me more and more, and they’re my biggest supporters right now, which is really nice.

Who are some of your favourite artists to listen to nowadays, and what is it about their music that you find so attractive?

I listen to a bunch of different artists. I listen to different genres

too. I’m big on Drake, Ed Sheeran, Rihanna, Beyoncé and a lot of really cool underground artists, including Great Big Sea, etc. I listen to so much different music.

After releasing your single, “Here” last year, what was it like for you to see it become such a successful hit? Were you surprised with the turnout?

I guess I did have a good feeling about the song. I knew it was going to be the song that would come up first; I had a feeling about it.

I didn’t think it was going to get as far as it did in the sense that I didn’t think I could be in a foreign country where people would know my song. Seeing that happen was incredible and I didn’t know the extent to how popular the song became.

Where did the idea for the lyrics in, “Wild Things” come from, and can you tell us a little bit about the track? What was it like to see it gain millions of views on YouTube?

The reactions from that song have been amazing. When we came up with the idea for that song, it just came from a conversation that we were having at the studio. We were all just kind of talking about trends - fashion trends and dumb trends that we wanted to follow I guess.

We didn’t understand why certain

“Every day feels surreal.”

FEATURES

people follow these trends and it just kind of came from our conversation about society and the world, things like that. We came up with the song, “Wild Things”, which is essentially about refusing to follow those standards or things that are expected of us as people. We said we shouldn’t have to follow these things and we shouldn’t have to feel like we’re labeled as something. I’m happy with myself and that’s essentially what it is. We wanted to make a song that was lyrically ambiguous enough so that it could relate to a massive amount of people, so I hope that everyone can relate to it.

Have you been to Ottawa before? If so, what are some of your favourite things about the city?

Yes, briefly. I went protesting in Ottawa one time in 10th grade. I went protesting for Japanese women in World War II for a field trip. I got to see the Parliament Buildings and all the cool buildings in the city. It was awesome.

What was the process like going from YouTube to a recording studio?

It was kind of strange at first. Going from YouTube and singing other people’s songs in the comfort of my own home, to making my own songs and having to share my ideas, especially as a shy person, it was very hard for me to write with people and share my ideas with people. Even to this day, I can’t really write in front of people; I have to leave the room and do it privately. I’m still a little shy with sharing my ideas but hopefully by the next album, I’ll be a little more confident. I think I know what I want now and it’s a lot different than my first album. I’m older now and I have my head on straight. It’s going to be fun.

You’ll be coming to Ottawa to perform at Bluesfest on Wednesday, July 13th, 2016. What are your thoughts on coming to the Nation’s Capital and are you a fan of outdoor concerts vs. indoor concerts?

I’m really excited; I’ve never been to Bluesfest so it’s going to be awesome.

I’m excited to roam around and perform. As far as performing outside, I think it’s always a little scary when you do that because it’s unpredictable and when you do concerts outside, you don’t really get a sound check so

8 | July 2016

you don’t know what to expect from the sound and the crowd. It’s always good though, I kind of like the idea of performing outdoors and seeing what happens.

What does a typical day look like for you, and what are some of your favourite things to do with your spare time?

I definitely don’t have too much spare time but when I do, I’ll relax and be normal for a bit, make dinner and eat some food. I also do these things during my tour where I document the tour on a weekly basis. A lot of my time now is used for editing those posts and putting them online.

Just doing small things that I enjoy.

Clearly, I’m not a big party-person, based on those tour posts. I like hanging out with friends and family as often as I can.

You’ve accomplished so much and you’re not even 20 years old yet.

Would you say this life has already become a dream come true for you?

Of course! I’ve done way more with my life than I would have ever thought I could. It’s amazing, I kind of always thought I was meant to do this, but of course you have your doubts, especially when you’re from a place like Brampton, Ontario. You would never think you’d be able to travel the world and do all of these things. It’s definitely been like a dream and I’m so grateful to be able to do it.

What are you most excited about for your “Know-It-All” Tour?

I’m excited to just get back and see my fans. When you open for someone else, it’s obviously still great, but a lot of people don’t know who you are. The whole point of opening is to try and gain a bigger audience and connect with more people. When it’s your own show, you’re playing in front of a group of people who have supported you from the beginning and it’s a great energy. I’m excited to see everyone who’s been tweeting at me and all that. It’s going to be a lot of fun.

FEATURES

THOMAS RHETT Growing up with his famous country music father, Rhett Akins, Thomas Rhett was surrounded by music and country music stars. Rhett didn’t grow up planning on being a country music artist himself, but instead went off to college, changing his major several times before he figured out what he was going to do with his life. During his time at college, Rhett was constantly writing songs for other artists, and soon realized that he knew what he was going to do.

Rhett has written songs for Florida Georgia Lone, Jason Aldean, and many other artists. Incredibly creative and inspired by his fans that keep him writing, Rhett’s latest album, “Tangled Up”, has seen great success. With songs like, “Die A Happy Man”, reaching #1, Rhett has shown us that he is capable of winning over the hearts of many.

Rhett will be performing in Ottawa on July 10th at RBC Bluesfest and he expects the crowd to be dancing along with him (or he might come make you anyway). FACES got to catch up with Rhett before his stop in the Capital to talk about growing up in Nashville, and his musical career.

COUNTRY MUSIC STAR COMES TO BLUESFEST

were some of your favourite things about growing up in Nashville, and how did they influence your dream to become a country music singer?

Nashville is exactly how it is billed: "Music City." It's such a creative town with so many talented people.

Growing up here, you are spoiled with opportunities to see live music and hear great singers and great songs every single night. It’s pretty cool to grow up in that culture, and it was impossible not to be influenced by it.

Being the son of Rhett Akins, the award-winning country crooner, when did you decide to follow in your father’s footsteps?

It wasn't a conscious decision initially, it just sort of happened. I went to college, but changed my major multiple times, and the whole time I was writing songs. I got up one night and sang with my dad at a writer's round in Nashville, and that led to me getting a publishing deal to write songs. Before I knew it, I was lucky enough to land a couple of cuts and found myself way more focused on song writing than I was on studying. That told me everything I needed to know about what I should be doing.

Aside from your own father, who were some of the other country singers that inspired you the most?

I was exposed to so much music growing up, that I really have a lot of different influences. If I had to pick a couple I would probably say Merle Haggard and Eric Church. Merle was one of the main reasons I ever wanted to write songs in the first place, and "Misery And Gin" is probably my favourite country song of all time.

For my buddies and I when we were in high school, Eric Church was just "The Man." I wore out his CDs driving around in my truck and his live show continues to inspire me to get better every time I see it.

How would you describe the atmosphere at your shows?

We want people to have as much fun as possible and we try to create a show and set list that doesn't give anyone an opportunity to get bored and go get a beer. That's our

goal. We want to get everyone on their feet, and if you are not on your feet, there is a good chance I will come find you in the crowd and make you dance with me.

Do you have any pre-performance rituals before stepping on the stage?

Every single night, right before we take the stage, me and my band get in a huddle and my drummer, Chris, leads us all in a prayer. It's a great, "calm before the storm" moment, where we get to be thankful for everything that has happened so far on this journey, and really focus ourselves on that evening's show.

What was your experience like at last year’s Boots and Hearts festival?

Everything about Boots & Hearts was awesome. The festival itself is setup for everyone to have a good time and we couldn't believe how crazy the fans were up there!

What was your last experience like performing here in Ottawa, and what were some of your favourite things about the city? Did you get to explore much?

Last time we were in Ottawa was probably the coldest day any of us have experienced on tour… so we didn't get to go explore much besides the inside of our bus. We had talked about going to skate on the Rideau Canal, but it was even too cold for that, so hopefully we'll get to do it one day. But the show itself was awesome and the fans were amazing.

WHAT

How would you describe your style of music?

I feel like my generation, especially, doesn't care about genres and putting things in a box, or labeling it in any specific way. I'm definitely a country artist, with a country voice; I love country songs and country lyrics. But I am also 26 years old and grew up listening to everything from Merle Haggard, to The Rolling Stones, to Aretha Franklin, to Usher, to Third Eye Blind, and everything in between. Right now I love Keith Urban's new record and also Justin Bieber's. I listen to everything, and everything I like has had an effect to some degree on shaping

11 | July 2016

FEATURES the kind of artist that I am and the kind of music I make. So, I’d probably just describe it as being me.

What is your favourite song to perform live, and why?

It's an obvious answer, but, "Die A Happy Man" is probably my favourite to play live and was right from the first time I played it. Initially, that was because it was the most personal song I had ever written and performed, so it was special to perform for that reason.

Since then obviously it has been the most successful song of my career to date, and to feel the crowd’s excitement and reaction every night when we play it, and then have myself and the band drop out and just hear the crowd sing it back to us each night, that never gets old.

"I LISTEN TO EVERYTHING, AND EVERYTHING I LIKE HAS HAD AN EFFECT TO SOME DEGREE ON SHAPING THE KIND OF ARTIST THAT I AM AND THE KIND OF MUSIC I MAKE. "

If you could perform with any music artist, living or dead, who would you choose and why?

There are so many from past and present. If I just have to name one I'd say Bruno Mars. I am just a huge fan of him as a performer, singer, musician, songwriter and entertainer. He's so talented at it everything and I would love to collaborate with him in some way.

What is one thing that most people wouldn’t know about you?

I really want to go cage diving with Great White sharks. I have said that a couple of times in interviews, but people are always a bit surprised to hear it.

It's definitely something Lauren and I are going to try and do within the next year or so in either Australia or South Africa.

You’ll be performing here in Ottawa this summer at RBC Ottawa Bluesfest on July 10th. What are your thoughts on coming back to the Nation’s Capital and what are you looking forward to most?

It will probably be too warm this time around for the Rideau Canal, so I guess we'll have to catch that another time. We're hitting Ottawa in the middle of a crazy run of shows, so I don't know how much time we'll have to do anything touristy. If we do have time, I will grab my drummer, Chris (who is Canadian), and force him to show me around. Most of all we always look forward to playing for the fans up there. We don't get up there a lot during the course of the year, so they are always pumped up and excited to see us, and the feeling is mutual on this end.

Eye Primer

While summer keeps things oily, the sun still has a drying effect on your face. Choose a lightweight formula with an oil-free base to keep skin from over drying. Sweep over with a lightweight primer to provide an ideal base for makeup.

Heavy foundation in the heat of summer is not only guaranteed to run while contributing to breakouts, but is also all too noticeable under a bright sun. Keep things natural and light by dabbing concealer on problem areas. For extra coverage, choose a tinted (oil-free) moisturizer. If your face tends to get oily, brush with a lightweight setting powder.

Don’t get caught with cakey contouring. Sweep bronzer over areas where the sun normally hits your face for a more natural contouring effect. Choose a multi-shade bronzer that will better blend with your skin tone when combined.

NARS Laguna Tiare Bronzer $76

Powder Blush will only flake when trying to compete in the heat. Use a crème blush stick that will go on smooth. Use a sweep of setting powder to lock in colour if you’re prone to sweating.

Smashbox L.A. Lights Blendable Lip & Cheek Color $36

While eye cream prevents creasing, it won’t help your shadow stay in the summer sun. Choose an eye primer for a better hold.

Stick to lighter, sheer colours on summer days to add natural shape and shine to your eyes. Try a crème shadow stick and finish with powder.

Hot and humid days call for a change in your makeup routine. To achieve a fresh and effortless look that doesn’t wear off in the heat, switch to these summer essentials.

Black Liquid Liner

Weighty Mascara

Lipstick

Cleansing Wipes

Waterproof Colour Stick

Waterproof Mascara with Disposable Wands

Tinted Lip Balm with SPF

Blotting Paper

Keep your staple dark liner for the evening. On sunny days, make your eyes pop with a subtle sweep of a waterproof pencil liner. Choose a warm brown for blue eyes and a purple for brown eyes. Purple or a reddish-brown will make green eyes pop. When in doubt, a taupe shade can help create a dramatic day look without looking overdone.

Dior Crayon Eyeliner - Waterproof $35

We know you’re already committed to your fave mascara, but if it isn’t waterproof, then its time to reconsider your loyalty. In the summer, choose a non-clumping, waterproof formula. Because sweat and oil can build up more easily in the heat, invest in disposable wands and be sure to replace regularly.

Always stick to neutral or lighter colours in the summer that go on sheer—a tinted balm helps achieve this look perfectly. For a longer and bolder wear, opt for a lip stain and never a lipstick, which will crease or run.

A fresh look begins with your t-zone: where oil and sweat will accumulate the most. Target your t-zone by reaching for blotting paper and lightly dabbing the problem area. Cleansing wipes will remove too much make-up, and are too harsh on the skin, causing over-drying or leaving oily residue.

1960's During the 60’s, bathing suits had changed, and in a big way. They revealed much more skin and the bikinis became the most dominant bathing suit style.

Once-piece suits were still very popular in these days; the only major difference was that they started to reveal more skin. Some of the more risky ladies started wearing bikinis, but they weren’t very popular yet.

1950's

1970's

High-waisted bottoms took over during the 70’s, showing the majority of the body off. Although this started in Europe, it did eventually make it’s way to North America, where it became a very prominent trend.

From Marilyn Monroe to Baywatch Babes, the swimsuit has been at the center of fashion in every decade. Check out how these styles have changed.

1990's

This is right when bikini tops started having adjustable straps. Ladies still wore the high-waisted bathing suits; but they were just a little more comfortable at this point.

High-cut bikinis were all over the place. It allowed women to show off their tanned skin and long, thick hair.

Sure they may look good, but don’t kid yourself – these suits were certainly not comfortable.

2000's Exposure, exposure, exposure! That’s the main goal with bathing suits nowadays. For girls, you’ll get more parts of your body tanned. For guys, well, they didn’t mind this trend either.

5 EVERYDAY HABITS

THAT MAY BE AGING YOU 1

WASHING YOUR FACE WITH PRODUCTS THAT ARE OVER-DRYING OR OVER-EXFOLIATING Many skin care products and routines can cause early aging overtime. Soft exfoliators can be used once a day usually in the morning to help remove overnight build-up.

Stick to a cleanser to remove makeup, dirt or oil before bed. Skincare products with heavy synthetics or chemical preservatives can also have a long-term aging effect.

2

EATING DESSERT REGULARLY, OR HAVING A HIGH SUGAR INTAKE Cutting back on sweets could contribute to a more youthful appearance. Regularly over-consuming sugar can cause a process called glycation. This can damage and breakdown collagen and elastin in the body, leaving your skin more prone to aging.

3

RUBBING YOUR EYES Rubbing causes friction on the delicate skin around your eyes. As a habit, this will begin to breakdown collagen around the eye area.

4

SLEEPING ON THE SAME SIDE OF YOUR FACE EVERY NIGHT Sleeping on the side of your face, or with your face in your pillow will cause creasing in your face overnight.

While this goes away in the morning, creasing can cause wear on your face overtime. To minimize this effect, use a satin pillowcase, or sleep on your back.

5

WORRYING ABOUT THE SMALL STUFF Stress is one of the biggest contributors to long-term aging. So, don’t sweat the small stuff! Sleep is how you get your best relaxation, so get some shuteye and be sure to do what makes you happy—including dessert.

Mumford & Sons Ted Dwane of British Rock Band British rock Band, Mumford and Sons, lives for the stage – it is where they love to be, and where they do their best work. Forming in 2007, the band crashed into each other over their shared love of acoustic and folk music, and has captured the hearts of millions since. The bands debut album, “Sigh No More”, earned the band 6 Grammy nominations – not an easy feat to accomplish. It’s no surprise that their second album, “Babel”,

6 | July 2016

garnered another 8 Grammy nominations including the win for Album of the Year.

Mumford and Sons is the kind of band that truly cares about creating wicked music. The band explores every idea and experiments with different instrumentation to find what will fit each song perfectly. Evolving from acoustic folk music to a more electric sound, when you hear their songs on the radio, you

still know it belongs to them.

FACES had the fortunate opportunity to chat with bassist, Ted Dwane, after sound check to talk about the band’s journey over the last 9-10 years and their newest project, Johannesburg. Mumford and Sons performed in Ottawa for the first time on June 12th at the Canadian Tire Centre, and they rocked our city to a sold out crowd.

What was your favourite part about growing up in England (besides having the best candy)?

(Laughs) We actually moved around quite a bit, we were in Singapore for a lot of my childhood, so I’ve been itchy-footed ever since then - but it means that the touring lifestyle fits me pretty well. If I had to choose a favourite thing about growing up in England, it would have to be the countryside, the fresh air and the beautiful hills.

When you first hit the music scene, your songs used a lot of folk and bluegrass sounds. With your recent music the band has started adding more guitar and modern drums, becoming a little more electric. Why the transition and how has it been for the band?

I think the very course of the universe is changing and moving all the time – human beings are always changing, and when you try to cling onto something, you generally go mad, because it’s impossible. When we met in 2006/07, we all met in the same moment of digging acoustic and folky music so we kind of collided with a lot of enthusiasm and Mumford and Sons was born.

As human beings tend to, we all have a lot of different interests and like to explore different things. As a band we really wanted to focus on writing and lyrics before instrumentation and genres – we wanted the songs to be amazing.

The instrumentation is put in place to serve the songs and is an exploration and evolution for us, which is quite important for us, and for creative people – you don’t want to be doing the same thing for too long.

Not only did “Babel” become the fastest selling rock album of its decade, it also won the band the Grammy for Album of the Year.

What was it like to see this album become such a huge success?

It was quite strange because we were so busy touring. We took a moment out to go to the Grammy’s and win something for the first time, which was really exciting, but aside from that your head is kind of stuck in the shows. We have always been such a live band that our records kind of serve as an advert for our shows. So we stand by that to a degree, despite enjoying the studio more and more. It was quite abstract really, you know we can understand shows and you can see people’s faces and see them singing along and having a good time, but with records, there is a sort of abstraction to it, a distance between the reality of record streams and sales.

So it was quite strange and I don’t think we still really thought about it too much – we don’t like to dwell on these things too much – we are just really just excited about making more music and to get the 4th record out before too long.

You had the opportunity to play at a Whitehouse state dinner for Barack Obama and David Cameron with along John Legend.

What was that experience like for you?

Slightly surreal! It was really cool because we were asked to do it, and I think you’d be mad to say no – I don’t think anyone really would! Our relations between America and the U.K have,

historically, been many things, but at the moment they are quite good! So we all went and invited our girlfriends and wives, and we met some very interesting and clever people, and then we played 3 songs - it was a really cool night. I remember stepping out of this big marquee for a cigarette thinking I was all alone, and then I turned around and there was this fully armoured man with a gun just standing in the darkness, and I was reminded where I was because I had forgotten for a moment (laughs).

Does the band have any pre-show rituals before going on stage?

Yea, we often watch a bit of the support band, which helps get us in the mood. The 4 of us, and our fellow musicians, have a vaguely similar last few hours together before the show, because if we step on stage and someone has been stuck in traffic for hours, and another has just finished a massive meal, and someone else is drunk, it makes it hard to be on the same level to play music. So we basically just hang out for an hour or 2 before the show – have a little drink, have a little cuddle, and just step out on that stage united and intent on giving it all we’ve got.

Tell us about the experience recording Johannesburg with Baaba Maal, The Very Best and Beatenberg in South Africa.

It was a bit of an experiment – we set out with a bit of a loose brief as to what we were going to do. We were touring with Beatenberg, The Very Best and Baaba Maal and we had known Baaba Maal for a while and the others are new friends. We had the studio in Johannesburg for 2 days, and despite our attempts to prepare for it and write something in advance, we kind of failed in preparing so we just walked in and made the whole thing in 2 days. There were lots of live takes, lots of fun, and a huge amount of creativity from everyone just piling their ideas.

We came away with the 5-track EP, which we are really proud of. We played some of the songs during our last gigs in South Africa, which is awesome. We made a DVD that night too, which is really fortuitous because the gig was amazing.

I think you can just hear the fun that everyone was having on that EP. The band sold 85,000 tickets, which sold out 6 shows in South Africa. What was your favourite part about performing and recording in South Africa?

There was a huge sense of anticipation from the audience because they had played us on the radio quite early on, but with the world as big as it is we hadn’t made it down there yet, so this was our first stop in South Africa. The shows were some of the biggest we have ever done, so that combined with the energy was a real atmosphere, a real anticipation of reckless abandon, which usually makes for a bit of a fun show!

Wherever we are in the world, we always try and find ways of engaging with where we are.

The stopovers we do, little 2-day festivals we do in small towns, are a big way of doing that. For a big touring band it is a really nice punctuation

to be able to settle into a place and meet some people. The equivalent of that experience on the South Africa trip was recorded in that EP – we got to work with some local people and settle into the place for a while. It was a very valuable experience; we sort of feel like we made a connection there now – it wasn’t a superficial visit, but really quite emotional and a nice sort of output for us.

You are making 3 stops in Canada during this tour; including a stop here in Ottawa on June 12th.What are you looking forward to the most about being here?

I think that Canada has always been one of the places that has been the most generous to us as a band. The shows have always been amazing and we played our first ever arena in Toronto.

The Niagara on the Lakes show we did not too long ago was one of our biggest ever shows. It’s just amazing; somewhere you can genuinely look forward to playing a show. Sometimes you go somewhere and for one reason or another they over-anticipate you and it doesn’t work – you just kind of miss each other and there isn’t a connection (thankfully it happens very rarely), but in Canada, that has never happened. Every show we have done has been a really natural experience, so we always look forward to coming back again.

Canadian Comedian Returns to Ottawa

GREEN Tom Green is a household name in Canada, and for good reason. Always a goofy kid, Green enjoyed making people laugh from a young age.

Green always loved heading over to Yuk Yuk’s to watch his favourite comedians perform, and got his first taste of performing himself when he was just a teenager.

Always looking forward to see how he could be ahead of the crowd, Green started “The Tom Green Show” with some college friends at Rogers Cable, and his career continued to climb from there.

Watching his shows and seeing him perform, you might think that Green is always over the top and bouncing around. Bet you would be surprised to learn that he is actually a fairly calm person in his every day life.

To Tom Green, comedy is an art, carefully crafted to get the best laughs out of his audience. Through it all, Green remains humble, supporting the underdogs and making sure those who are the butt of his jokes, deserve it. FACES caught up with Tom Green before he heads back to where it all began, Yuk Yuk’s Comedy Club here in Ottawa from July 14th-16.

84 | July 2016

“I think comedy is about speaking truth to power and it’s about defending the little guy, the less fortunate.”

When did you first realize that you had a passion for the comedy and entertainment industry?

I was in the 6th grade; I did a speech on comedy. I was a goofy, funny kid so when I did those speeches, I would get up in front of the class and was always very good at public speaking. I always enjoyed getting a reaction and some laughs. In terms of formally starting comedy, I was about 15 years old. I would always go down to Yuk Yuk’s in Ottawa, that’s when I really started doing stand-up comedy. I’m coming back to Yuk Yuk’s on the weekend of the 14th to the 16th; I can’t wait!

Who were some of your greatest inspirations earlier in your career?

When I was a kid my favourite guys were Harland Williams and Norm Macdonald. When they came to town, I’d always have to go and see them. They’re still two of my favourite comedians who’ve become friends of mine over the years, so that was pretty cool. I’m very close with Harland Williams now; we’ve become really close friends. It’s cool to be friends with one of the people who you grew up looking up to and being inspired by.

Yuk Yuk’s was the comedy scene in Ottawa and that was it. Howard at Yuk Yuk’s was always very encouraging.

How did your experience at Algonquin College go while studying television broadcasting?

I really did enjoy my experience at Algonquin College.

I was in a technical course (Television Broadcasting) so I learned how to edit and shoot video; it was a magical thing to me. You couldn’t just shoot a video on your phone and connect it to your laptop so that you could upload it to YouTube; you actually had to learn how to do professional videos, which is how I was able to do “The Tom Green Show”. I went over to Rogers Cable and started that show with some of my friends from college which we would do every Thursday night. We would shoot weird videos and it was very cutting edge, especially since nobody else was doing that sort of thing at the time. It really stood out and that’s sort of how the show was born and how I got on to T.V. and on the Comedy Network.

Would you say that you’ve been living your own dream?

The dream for me while I was growing up was to be able to make a living being creative and doing comedy, television, music, getting up on stage in front of a group of people and getting laughs, things like that. I definitely feel like I’ve gotten to live the dream and that I’ve

achieved those goals. I love doing stand-up and touring all over the world. Part of the reason I do these shows in Ottawa is because I love performing at Yuk Yuk’s. I’m taking the summer off from touring but I am doing the “Just For Laughs” festival in Montreal for the last week of July. I have to keep myself sort of “tuned-up” to keep my rhythm up. I’m planning on doing some amazing shows up there and I’ll be doing some crazy, experimental stuff at Yuk Yuk’s before I head to Montreal.

You started doing stand-up comedy at a very young age at various local comedy clubs including Yuk Yuk’s. Can you tell us a little bit about your first time performing there?

When I was a teenager, I would go down to the club with a group of friends. We would always cause havoc and disturb the peace - typical teenagers. We got kicked out of the club, and banned from it too. It was the same night that we heard that there was an amateur night, so after getting removed from the place, I realized that I wanted to come back and try it out. I had written a bunch of jokes, had them all prepared while I was at my day job. Howard and the doorman recognized me from the group of people who caused problems so they actually asked us to leave. As we were leaving, the doorman that tried to kick us out a few times listened to jokes as we left and realized we were funny. He went over to Howard and suggested to him that they let us on stage.

Thankfully, Howard let me on and I did pretty well. I got some good laughs and he took me aside after and told me I had potential. From that point on, I started coming back every week, even if it didn’t go as well as the first show. I gradually figured it out and did stand-up for several years until the rap band took off.

Was the decision to put a hold on stand-up to record an album in New York for your rap group one of the more difficult ones you’ve had to make in your life?

What brought this decision on?

It was a difficult decision but I had a great opportunity to go record an album with the rap group. I did that and then we got a record deal, which is when things really took off in a big way. I devoted my time to that for a few years because things were really happening for it.

I was young for stand-up, I don’t really think you can do stand-up successfully before the age of around 20.

I think you need to be able to talk to the audience and be able to have them relate to you, and frankly, there’s just not a lot of teenagers in the audience at stand-up comedy shows. You need to be talking about things

FEATURES that adults relate to. I think I’m at the perfect age now for stand-up comedy; you want to add a little bit of light experience. I’m 44 years old and I’ve been through a lot of stuff, I’ve experienced a lot of different things; I’ve had cancer, I’ve travelled all around the world, I’ve had relationships - I’ve had experiences that I can draw from to really connect with people. People think of stand-up comedians as social commentators. My favourite comedians throughout history are people like George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Bill Hicks and people that brought some sort of experience and opinion about the world to their show so that you’d laugh, but you’d also walk away feeling like you learned something.

You’ve done many interviews with hundreds of different guests. What’s one of the more memorable interviews you’ve had thus far?

I started this Internet show just over 10 years ago and it’s been the way I’ve approached my comedy. I check to see where technology is going to see what’s coming. Nobody was doing podcasts or Internet shows.

I was in LA, right in the middle of all of the entertainment and in the centre of comedy with all of the international comedians, so I was able to get a lot of my heroes to come and do the show. I loved interviewing Dan Rather. He was exciting because he knew everybody and did everything and he was a great broadcaster. Larry King was also great. A lot of the people I interviewed became good friends of mine, it’s pretty cool.

What’s one thing that most people wouldn’t know about you?

It’s tough to say because I’m not sure what people do and don’t know about me. I think one thing that surprises people when they first meet me is that I’m not constantly bouncing off the walls and being crazy. I tend to be a somewhat analytical person and when I do stand-up, it’s something that is a craft to me; it’s not just me making things up. I think people may not realize that I’m as dedicated to what I do

“I think people may not realize that I’m as dedicated to what I do as I am.”

Photo by Michel Grenier as I am. The shows are so crazy, people might assume I’m a crazy guy, but I created the shows and edited them myself. My superfans know exactly what I’m all about.

What can guests in attendance expect to gain from watching you perform live?

It’s going to be an insane show. I do a lot of very involved crowdwork, I do a lot of improv, I speak about a lot of topical subjects and social issues that people will connect with and relate to, but I like to take things into a very overthe-top place. It’s a high-energy show, a big-laugh show where I take the audience on a real ride.

I’ve been touring non-stop for many years around the world so I’ve got a very strong, forceful, and hilarious show. I’ll incorpo-

rate a couple of stories in to give that typical element but that’s only a small part of the show.

How do you know where to draw the line in stand-up comedy?

I have my own personal line, everyone has their own line, so everyone decides for himself or herself where the line is, and it’s something we’re allowed to have as comedians. I think comedy is about speaking truth to power and it’s about defending the little guy, the less fortunate. For me, personally, I really try to not make fun of people that aren’t in positions of power. I’d rather make fun of Donald Trump over a regular person. I don’t like attacking people about things that they have no control over,

whether it’s their race, religion, etc. To me, the line is knowing that if you’re going to be mean to someone, then that someone must deserve it. We’re supposed to all be equal over the eyes of the government, so if you have someone who’s dividing up people over racial stereotypes and causing racial tension, you have to speak out against that. I like sticking up for underdogs of the world. I grew up as one; I was the skinny kid from the military base who was moving around every year, the new kid in class. I wasn’t always the most popular kid in school when I was young and trying to fit in. That’s the type of person I feel like I stand up for.

in LA this past January, so I’m recording a new album. I’m recording all different types of music: rap, comedy, and lots of funny and cool songs that I’ve put together, and I actually just finished my first music video recently. We shot it with “Funny or Die”, it’s going to be a big release and it’ll be really cool. I’m doing stand-up, writing and developing a new television series, I’m recording a new album and I also have a new podcast that everyone should listen to. It’s free on iTunes on CBS called “The Tom Green Radio Show”. Google it and check it out, it’s free and awesome!

Jeremiah Fraites of The Lumineers

Lumineers

Photo by Scarlet Page

Jeremiah Fraites has always felt connected to music. There was something so pure and so moving about it that he wanted more. Fraites had known band member and lead vocalist, Wesley Shultz, through his older brother and a friend of his. When they first got together Fraites thought it would be a fun way to earn some extra money, by playing in bars and doing covers of other songs – they had no idea that they would achieve the success that they have today.

The release of the song, “Ho Hey” brought massive success to The Lumineers. The song broke into the Hot 100 list making it to #3, and made it to #1 on various other charts around the world. The Lumineers have been nominated for numerous awards, including several Grammys. The band also composed the music to, “The Hanging Tree”, sang by Jennifer Lawrence in “The Hunger Games: Mocking Jay – Part 1” which was also an incredible success.

FACES had the opportunity to speak with Jeremiah Fraites, dummer and piano player for The Lumineers, on their humble beginnings, huge success, and their newest album, “Cleopatra”. The Lumineers will be heading to Ottawa on July 9th for Bluesfest and are sure to have the entire crowd swooning.

Tell us a little bit about your early childhood, and what some of your favourite things to do as a kid were.

I always wanted a drum set, so one of the things I did was try and beg my parents for that. I used to take these Folgers coffee cans and chap sticks and I would play drums out of my mom’s tupperware and coffee cups. I remember the first artist I got into was Beethoven, the classical guy, and I used to argue with my older brother at the time about who was better, Bach or Beethoven, because he loved Bach and I loved Beethoven.

I thought Bach was s*** when I was younger and Beethoven was the best so…yea it was kind of a musical childhood in that regard.

When did you first discover you had a passion for music?

I can vaguely remember these moments where I was playing or doing something else as a kid and then there’d be music playing out of a stereo and there was sort of this weird inexplicable magnetic draw to the speakers and what was coming out of them. I remember just being kind of obsessed with it and not really understanding…it was just a really pure connection.

You know like, wow, this is good. That kind of purity that is often lost in childhood, but can be made with music. Music has always remained as kind of a beautiful secret thing for me. So I’m very lucky to have that.

Tell us a little bit about your early days writing music with Wesley, and how you would describe the chemistry between the two of you?

When we first started writing music, I thought that it was going to be a band that was going to be killing time. We’d write music together but I thought we would stick to covers. I was in 5 or 6 different bands in my little town in New Jersey. I always wanted to be in a band without a singer because I thought everything would have already been said lyrically. So, I told myself that I didn’t want to be in a band with a singer that was singing about boring stuff. I wanted to be instrumental and fun.

I knew of Wesley because he was a friend of my older brother and I was a friend of his younger brother, so there was about a 3-year age gap. I never knew him personally, I just knew him as my friends older brother named Wes. Anyways, he wanted to start this band and I told him I could play drums. I thought it was something we could do tempo-

rarily - playing in bars for some extra money - and then we started to write music at a profound level. It wasn’t profound music but we wrote at a profound level. We had written close to a hundred songs before our debut record, “The Lumineers”, came out. Our relationship is like no other; it’s very hard to describe. It’s hard to pair well; you deal with problems and you deal with some great things too. When we lived in Denver, we lived together, played music together and worked together at a little sushi restaurant. That’s even more time than a married couple will often spend together! It’s amazing to find someone that, even after 11 years, you can play on stage with and still really love doing it. It’s really special, and really hard to find, so that’s pretty cool.

You connected with your third member, Neyla Pekarek, through a post on Craiglist. What was the reason for seeking a new band member and how has the experience been for the three of you working together?

It’s been awesome. At the time, we wanted a cello because Wes and I would write all of the music but we didn’t know how to write baselines, so we thought having a cello would sound better and would separate our sound. A lot of bands have base, so we thought we’d try to not be that traditional band sound and instead, we’d use the cello to separate us from the pack.

Neyla responded to our post and we did a few gigs in basements in Denver. She had the same vibe as us, she was looking to keep busy, and it’s been great ever since for the past 5 years.

We’ve been through so much stuff, thick and thin, it’s great to have that chemistry.

The single, “Ho Hey”, made a name for itself throughout the entire world. We’ve heard various rumours about how you came up with the name of this song - are you able to give us the real reason for the name? Moreover, what was it like for the three of you to see this song explode in such a big way?

The way I remember it was that Wes had the song idea, and he had this idea to try and punctuate and emphasize every bar or so. He thought we should try and say “ho” to punctuate each bar and I suggested I’d say “hey” back to him to switch it up. We used to play at this open mic in Denver when we first moved there, and that song always did turn some heads.

However, Wes and I never thought that it was a worldwide smash hit; we just thought it was a good song. We were really hot and heavy on the album as a whole; we thought we had a really good album. We didn’t really think any songs stood out. We just thought this would be a cool album and if it had singles on it, then great. I also thought it would be one of those albums, and that we’d be one of those bands, that would take maybe 10 years for people to really start to know and like.

It’s easy to say, “Ho Hey” is a popular song, but at the time that we showed people the song, nobody thought it would be a huge, smash hit. Once it becomes that big, it’s easy to say, “Of course it was going to be a big hit”. I think we can be blinded by songs. I thought one of the other songs would be a huge hit but “Ho Hey” stole the show a bit.

“…there’d be music playing out of a stereo and there was sort of this weird inexplicable magnetic draw to the speakers and what was coming out of it.”

“I remember just being kind of obsessed with it and not really understanding…it was just a really pure connection.”

AMC’s, “The Walking Dead”, featured one of your songs. How did you arrange that, and has the show become a favourite for you guys, or do you enjoy a different genre of TV? I think it’s that song, “Vision of China”, which is a really cool song that Wes had written in China that we recorded and did some really cool things with it. It was just one of those things where you get an email from management and we thought it was cool and said sure.

I’m going to be perfectly honest, I’ve never seen the show, I’m too caught up in “Breaking Bad”, but I’ve heard amazing things about “The Walking Dead”. We’ve said yes to having our songs on com-

mercials and things like that, but thinking about my father, he went to work every day from 9am-5pm for years and years, so having the chance to make some extra cash and have extra promotion for something you believe in, is something that’s hard to say no to.

I think that used to be considered the ultimate sell-out move in the 90’s but now, it would be stupid to say no to. If you’re lucky enough to see parents work so hard just to make a dollar, then when people want to give you extra cash for something you already love and are proud of, I think that’s cool.

With “The Walking Dead”, well

that’s obviously a cool show and it’s something that would be impossible not to hear about. Just a really cool experience.

You released your second album, “Cleopatra”, earlier this year.

What’s the feedback been thus far, and how did you guys land on “Cleopatra” for the album name?

Wes had a song pretty much written completely called, “Cleopatra”, and it was this idea of this female architect, a timeless and classic name, but is a real woman that Wes met in the Republic of Georgia; she’s a female taxi driver. A guy that she was deeply in love with at the time had proposed to her just after her father had died. This woman was lying in bed completely distraught and depressed and she was so in shock.

There’s this lyric about tracking muddy footprints on her carpet, which belonged to the guy, so the lyrics are real. “Cleopatra” just had a nice ring to it for a second album title. It’s been an amazing reception to the album. Some people say how nice it is that we haven’t changed the sound, and others say thanks for changing the sound. It’s different interpretations of the same sound, and for me personally, I think that we evolved and matured from it, and a lot of the feedback has been saying that too. I think the first debut album sounded and felt like a debut album, whereas this one sounds and feels like a real album, whatever the word “real” means.

We spent more time in the studio on this one and I think the sounds we achieved all add up to our new records. We’re just immensely proud and happy that people seem to like it as well.

You guys are coming back to Ottawa on July 9th to perform at Bluesfest. What are some of the things about this city that stand out in your opinion?

We’re really excited to be coming back to Canada. That event is just so big; it’s going to be an amazing thing for us. We get so many incredible opportunities in Canada, and even though Canada is so close to us, it’s still a huge deal for us and we get to go over the border and play to people that love our music. I’m just still kind of shocked about it!

WARNING - TEXTING & DRIVING

Potential Liability of a Remote Third Party Sender

By Jill Snelgrove We all know the potential catastrophic consequences that result from texting while driving. In March 2015, the Ontario Provincial Police stated that distracted driving is expected to surpass impaired driving as a factor in fatal crashes on roads they patrol for the seventh straight year. Naturally, it comes as no surprise that the legislature, police and judiciary are cracking down on this behaviour.

Fines under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act for texting and driving have increased since 2013. In addition, there is developing case law in the United States which may expand civil tort liability for texting not just to texting drivers, but to those individuals who text someone who they know is driving at the time. In 2013, the New Jersey Superior Court Appellant Division in Kubert v Best, addressed the issue and held that as a matter of civil common law, the sender of a text message can potentially be liable if an accident is caused by texting, but only if the sender knew or had special reason to know that the recipient would view the text while driving and thus be distracted.

The court concluded that a remote sender of a text message to a driver has a duty to users of the public roads to refrain from sending the driver a text at that time and stated that when a sender texts a person who is then driving, knowing that the driver will immediately view the text, the sender has disregarded the attendant and foreseeable risk of harm to the public. The duty imposed does not hold texters liable for the unlawful conduct of others, but it does hold them liable for their own negligence when they have knowingly disregarded a foreseeable risk of serious injury to others.

The duty is limited and the test is strict - the mere sending of a wireless transmission that unidentified drivers may receive and view is not enough to impose liability. Furthermore, liability is not established by showing only that the sender directed the message to a specific identified recipient, even if the sender knew the recipient was then driving. Additional proofs are necessary to establish the sender’s liability.

which the court overruled a defendant’s preliminary objection that he had no duty to the Plaintiff by allegedly texting the co-defendant while she was driving.

The principal has not been tested in Canada, and whether a common law duty exists in tort is ultimately a question for our courts.

However, it is not inconceivable that on the rights facts, liability could be imposed on the sender of a text message to a person operating a motor vehicle. Furthermore, the dangers associated with texting while driving and the devastating consequences that can result are known to the legislature. It is not unlikely that in the future, the legislature will consider legislation that will impose either civil liability or criminal penalties for a remote texter who sends a distracting text message to a driver.

The New Jersey case may not set precedent here in Canada, but it certainly does serve as a stern warning.

8 Things to Look for When Buying a

Used Car Everyone knows that you’ll typically spend less if you purchase a used car as opposed to a new car. However, that doesn’t always mean that you’re getting the best bang for your buck. Here are 8 things to look for when purchasing a used car.

1 2 3

Research the car before you go to see it in person - most individuals and dealers will have the information online. It’s like walking into a business meeting unprepared.

Inspect the vehicle. Do a couple laps around the vehicle; check the rims and tires for scuffs, check the bumpers for cracks/scratches and test out all electronic features in the car. There’s no such thing as a used car that’s in mint condition.

Look at the vehicle history report and make sure the VIN number matches the one on the car. The VHR shows you whether the car has been in any reported accidents and the VIN number can tell the airbag type, country of origin, engine size, etc.

4 5 6

Check to ensure the panels and bumpers line up straight. If they don’t, even slightly, it could mean that the car has been in an accident.

Ask for a test drive. If the dealer or individual doesn’t want to let you take the car for a test drive, chances are, something is very wrong with it, so walk away. If you do, do so, and be very alert for anything unusual, whether it’s steering, rumbles, etc.

Bring a technician or auto mechanic with you to see the car. You may be able to see that everything on the outside of the car is perfect, but don’t forget about the inside. Internal damage is very important and can be quite costly to fix if you don’t take note of it before your purchase the car.

7 8

Prepare yourself for negotiations.

When it comes to used-cars, there’s typically more wiggle room on the selling price. Make sure you bargain with the dealer or individual and don’t pay asking price unless you know it’s a great deal that someone else may steal.

Mileage. One of the biggest determinants of depreciation on a car is the mileage on it. A car can be in perfect condition but if it has over 200,000km on it, be warned. Cars don’t last forever and 200,000km’s is nothing to joke about. The less mileage, the better. Don’t confuse miles for kilometres if you’re buying from an individual with a car from the U.S., as vehicles from the U.S. will show miles driven.

ENTERTAINMENT

Wicked Cars to Watch For

Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Aston Martin paired up with the design company Zagato, based out of Milan, in order to release one of the most stunning concepts of 2016.

It comes fully equipped with a 6L, 592-horse power v-12 engine!

Google Self Driving Car Although there is still plenty to be figured out about the Google Self Driving Car, it is being tested on public roads in four states - Michigan, Florida, Nevada, and California. It utilizes Google software called Google Chauffeur, which allows for autonomous driving.

Lamborghini Urus SUV Lamborghini saw the potential for an SUV line after the Porsche Cayenne was released and blew up the market. In order to remain the front-runners, in 2012 they started to get serious about the Lamborghini Urus. The luxury SUV will be fitted with a 4L Twin Boosted V-8 Engine, which means 600 HP and 700 lbs. of torque.

2017 Ford GT This highly anticipated supercar will likely be implanted with a Twin Turbocharged 3.5 Liter Ecoboost V-6 Engine, meaning it will produce around 600 horsepower. With a completely updated and unbelievably sleek design, not only will it compete with other exotic cars, it could surpass them. Only 500 people across the world will be lucky enough to get their hands on the new GT this year!

Audi Prologue In order to compete with BMW's latest I8 model, Audi needs to release something futuristic, and powerful, combining both style and functionality. The Audi Prologue will contain a 4L, 605 horsepower V8 engine that has over 550 lbs. of torque.

ENTERTAINMENT

Pros of Buying You have complete ownership of your own vehicle. It’s sort of a nice feeling.

Drive as far as you want. Unlike leasing, you won’t get penalized for driving excess miles.

Keep it for however long you’d like.

Whether it’s 1 year or 5 years, you have the freedom to sell your car whenever you want. If you don’t have a stable job in Ottawa, consider purchasing your car so that in a pinch, you can sell it if you need to.

Buying

a Car

Large down payments are typically required, meaning a loan may be required.

Monthly payments can be quite high – maintenance, insurance and repairs add up!

A car will depreciate, unless you buy a rare, antique car. Some people have a hard time wrapping their heads around the fact that buying a car means you buy something that will become less valuable each year.

Not the best investment structure.

Cons of Buying

Pros of Leasing You have the opportunity to drive around in a brand new car every 2 or 3 years. Not a bad setup, and you can try different brands and models.

Spend less on monthly payments and your down payment. You’ll be paying for the residual price from depreciation rather than the purchase price of the car, which, after time, will end up saving you a good chunk of money.

Less repair fees for your car. Typically, if a customer signs up for a 3-year lease deal, the majority of repairs will be covered by the factory warranty.

After the leasing-term is completed, you don’t own any part of the car.

Consider it like you’ve rented out an apartment instead of purchasing one. Furthermore, you also can’t customize your car, as it’s not yours to change.

Leasing

a Car

You have to be careful of your mileage. When you start leasing a car, the rates you pay are based on a set/ limited mileage by the dealership (used to calculate depreciation).

At the end of your lease, if you go above your mileage, you’ll have to pay extra at the end.

Costly cancellation fees. If you just signed a lease agreement for 2 years and after 1 month of driving the car, you absolutely hate it, then you’re in trouble. You can get out of a lease, but not without paying the consequence. Literally.

Cons of Leasing

After realizing you need to change a tire, take the next exit or slowly and carefully pull over to the side of the road. Make sure to put your 4-way lights on and pull over on a flat surface.

1

Turn your car off and carefully exit the vehicle. Open up your trunk and grab the spare tire, jack and wrench. Close the trunk and walk over to the wheel that needs to be swapped.

6 Tire Swap

Pull the tire off of the car completely towards yourself. Place it in your trunk and grab the spare tire.

8

3

Use the wrench to loosen the bolts/nuts on the rim.

No need to take them off just yet, this is just to loosen them up.

4

Take the jack and place it under the frame of the car near the tire that needs to be swapped. Make sure the bottom of the jack is on a flat ground.

Raise the jack up until you can see that it is supporting the car and the tire is a couple inches off the ground. It doesn’t need to be very high; it just needs to be supporting it so that there’s little to no weight on the tire that needs to be swapped.

22 | July 2016

5

With the wrench, begin loosening the nuts by twisting counter-clockwise.

7

Put the spare tire on the empty wheel hub. Make sure you line up the lug nut posts with the holes that are in the spare tire.

Continue pushing the spare tire in until it can’t be pushed any further.

Remember, the valve stem on a tire needs to face outwards of the vehicle.

Grab the nuts/bolts and put them on the rim tightly with the wrench in a star pattern. Tighten them as much as you can.

Whether it’s out front of your house or on a no-name street in the country, you never know exactly when one of your tires might deflate. Don’t put yourself into a position where you have no cell phone service and are crying on the side of the road because you don’t know how to swap a tire and can’t call a tow truck. Instead, just read these steps and you’ll be good to go.

10

9

Using the jack, slowly lower the car on to the ground and put all of your tools away.

Get back on the road and find the nearest auto shop so that you can get a new, properly sized tire on your car. Don’t drive over 80km/ hour with the spare on, as they are only temporary and are not made for fast driving or long distances.

Premium vs Regular Gas

MYTHS Most of you have been told at one time or another that you should be putting premium gas in your vehicle.

Unsure why? Here we debunk some of the common myths that people are unaware of in today’s automotive world.

MYTHS Premium gas gives your car more kilometres per litre.

Premium gas will give your engine more power then it already has.

Premium gas is more energy efficient then regular gas.

In colder weather, premium gas is better for making sure your car starts.

TRUTHS There is a constant build up of carbon inside the engine while driving, and using premium gas can help deteriorate this build up.

Your warranty on the car will not get voided if you use regular gas instead of premium – this is simply a recommendation from the manufacturer.

You will save on average between 20-30 cents per gallon by using regular gas.

Unless you are racing, towing, or doing any strenuous activity that puts a lot of stress on your car’s engine, you are perfectly fine using regular gas.

Things to Never Text a Woman Last Minute Invitations Sending an invitation over text isn’t the worst thing you can do, but make sure it isn’t sent at the last minute or your girl might feel like she is a last minute plan. Make sure you give her plenty of time to respond and make her feel like you want to see her.

Drunken Texts Though often blatantly obvious that a text received at 2:00am is a drunk text, please use all of your willpower to refrain from attempting this dangerous text. “But I was drunk and I didn’t mean it”, probably won’t fly as a great excuse, and you just end up looking like a douche. If you have too, leave the phone at home.

Your Feelings No, no, no, no…no. Never. Of course, “I love you”, “I miss you”, and other cutesy things are fine, but do not spill your heart over text, especially if you haven’t done this in person! It comes across as very impersonal…if you can’t/don’t want to say it in person, you probably shouldn’t be saying it.

Horndog Texts These texts can come across as pervy and childish, especially if you are not in a serious, sexual relationship with the girl you are texting. We don’t need pics of your balls while we are at work, and we don’t like being asked which underwear we are wearing everyday.

One Word Responses When your girl has just written 3 paragraphs about her make-up routine, it can tempting to reply with “cool” or “lol”. Do not do this! If your girl is sharing this with you, she cares what you think.

If you respond with short, dry messages constantly, she is going to think you do not care.

For the best of both worlds, jog to the gym as a warm up to your workout.

Spend More Time With Your Kids and plan a fishing day or a trip to the zoo. Or, spend an evening in the backyard re-learning some of your favourite summer games.

If at First You Don’t Succeed, Try, Try Again

Don’t Dwell on the Past No one should spend the present being in the past, but, we can all learn from our mistakes. Take time to reflect on the past—enough time to fully learn from your mistakes. For some, this time is longer than others.

However, don’t let it consume you.

THREE COMMON

Mantra’s You Should Unsubscribe To

If something isn’t working, it may not be in your best interest to approach it the same way again.

Perseverance is key to success, but so is understanding your strengths and abilities.

Never Go To Bed Angry Letting arguments drag on isn’t healthy, but sometimes taking a step back is a good way to re-approach a conflict from a fresh (rested) perspective. Fighting into the late hours of the night increases the chance of saying hurtful, unreasonable things to someone that you may not mean.

Add Coconut Oil to your coffee for a different taste with some super health benefits.

This combo boosts metabolism and increases energy to take you farther. Look for organic, extra virgin coconut oil and skip anything refined.

Always freshly grind whole beans before use. Ground beans are exposed to oxidation, which lowers their levels of antioxidants the longer they are exposed. Store your beans (whole or ground) in an airtight container to limit the oxidation effect.

Top 10 Facts on the Dock Spider

Yes people, Ottawa is packed with dock spiders, and yes, they are very commonly found on docks (how’d you guess?!). Sorry to burst your happy “I’ll just avoid the dock” bubble - but their locations aren’t limited to docks. They’re everywhere. Here are 10 facts on dock spiders to help keep you up at night.

1

Dock spiders are all over cottage country. The ones we usually see on docks tend to be females, as it’s their best hunting territory.

2

Dock spiders are often found not only on docks, but also cabins, sheds, outhouses, etc.

3

Dock spiders use venom to paralyze their prey. For humans, we’re a little lucky, as these insects are rarely aggressive towards us.

4

Dock spiders are the largest spiders born and raised in Canada. Females can actually grow to be more than 3.5 inches in length.

5

Dock spiders are swimmers. Much like people tell you about bears, do not try and out swim a dock spider. You’ll probably never have to try and outswim a dock spider but if you do, just give up early.

6

Dock spiders are a part of the family known as Pisauridae, a close relative of the wolf spider.

7

Dock spiders don’t make webs to catch their prey. They actually stalk out their prey and that’s when they insert the venom. Don’t worry, their venom will only hurt humans if you are allergic to it.

8

Dock spiders spin webs to protect their babies. Whatever you do, do not walk on one of these. You’ll never sleep right again.

9

Dock spiders typically feed on tadpoles, minnows and other small fish.

They have legs covered in wax, making their legs water resistant.

10

Dock spiders can survive submerged in water for up to 30 minutes.

Not bad for an insect. Just be careful when you dive into the lake this summer.

Knowing that we have sufficiently freaked you out and may have ruined your dreams of tanning on the dock – just remember that the dock spider is more afraid of you, and their first instinct is to run (just like yours!).

Take a cold shower or put a cold, damp towel on the burn. This will help cool you down and tighten up your skin.

Find the narrow end of the leech (this is the head, where it is attached), and use your nail, or credit card, and slide it under the end of the sucker while pulling the skin tightly.

2 If you are in severe pain, take an Advil or Tylenol.

3 Use Aloe Vera cream - this will cool down your skin.

Aloe Vera helps to reproduce skin cells and battle inflammation.

2 Make sure everything has been removed, and the leech hasn't left its sucker in your skin.

3 Use alcohol rub, or hydrogen peroxide, to clean the wound. Leech’s carry enzymes that prevent clotting, so you will need to put on a Band-Aid or dressing to stop the bleeding.

Things not to do

1

4 Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!!! The most important thing when treating sunburn is staying moisturized. It will help to stop you from peeling, and can help turn sunburns into a tan. Use a fragrance-free cream for sensitive skin.

36 | July 2016

Do not pull on the leech, without prying off its sucker. This can make the leech either rip in half, or it will leave its sucker in your skin.

2

Don’t reach for the salt! Using salt can cause the leech to regurgitate into the wound, which can cause infection and lead to more serious problems.

3

Stay away from using shampoos, or other substances to remove the leech, as it will have the same effect as salt.

Buy a soft cooler. Cooler Bags are much easier to carry than bulky, hardshelled coolers.

2 Pack the cooler with contents on the bottom and fill the cooler with ice, or use dry ice packs.

3 Dig a hole in the sand that will fit the cooler. Be sure the hole is out of the sun, and has reached the darker, moist level of sand.

4 Place the cooler into the hole, closed. Minimize the amount of time the cooler is open during the day to keep contents colder, longer.

WHY

?

WHY DO WE PRACTICE YOGA?

Though it doesn’t look like much, yoga does wonders for your body. Not only does it improve your flexibility and muscle strength, it also helps your posture and increases blood flow, helping poor circulation. Yoga also helps you to sleep deeper and helps you to get in touch with your inner self.

WHY IS YOGA SO RELAXING?

WHY IS HOT YOGA ALL THE RAGE?

The practice itself has you move through the different positions in gentle, relaxed movements, taking slow, deep breaths. Just like when you are upset and deep breaths help to calm you, yoga does the same. Yoga also helps to clear your mind and let go of any day-to-day stresses you may be carrying.

Available in different heat levels for all levels, hot yoga is said to help detoxify your body through sweating.

The hot environment also allows you to go much deeper into your poses, and is often safer for doing so. Know your limits and don’t push yourself too hard in these classes, as you could injure yourself.

WHY IS DOWNWARD DOG SO POPULAR?

WHY DO WOMEN WEAR TIGHT CLOTHES WHILE PRACTICING?

Whenever your heart is above your head, blood flow is stimulated which helps to calm and energize your body.

This pose also helps to stretch out your back and chest, which feels great after a long day of being hunched over a computer.

40 | July 2016

Baggy clothing just gets in the way!

Not to mention, you will constantly be adjusting it between different poses.

Tighter clothing moves with you, allowing you to focus on what you are doing, instead of worrying if other people can see too much of you. If you are new to yoga, the instructor can also see better if you are doing your poses correctly, and they can correct you so you don’t hurt yourself.
