Teachers to vote on fullscale strike Students walk out despite school district warnings JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

Teachers in North and West Vancouver will take part in a province-wide strike vote that could give approval for a fullscale strike starting June 16.

The teachers union announced the move following a decision by the Labour Relations Board Wednesday upholding school boards’ abilities to conduct a partial lockout and cut teachers’ pay by 10 per cent.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Thursday provincial exams will still go ahead and students will still receive their final marks, regardless of any strike. He

didn’t provide any details on how that would happen.

Rob Millard, president of the West Vancouver Teachers Association, said he expects teachers will be prepared to walk out June 16.Teachers are angry about the speed with which school boards moved to dock their pay.

The prospect of a full-scale strike has raised questions about how exams would be conducted and marked. It has also called some extracurricular activities like graduation ceremonies into question.

North Vancouver parent Randy Hutniak said an honour roll ceremony for students at his daughter’s high school has already been cancelled and sports events aren’t happening under the terms of the lockout, which restricts teachers presence at school to 45 minutes after classes end.

D-day 70th anniversary

Veteran recalls Allied invasion of Normandy STEFANIA SECCIA Contributing writer

After finally overcoming delays, the Allied forces were ready to launch what would go down as the largest seaborne invasion in history on June 6, 1944.

The Canadian troops landed on the sands of the code-named Juno Beach in Nazi-occupied Normandy, France. Facing staunch resistance from the Nazi forces, the Allies claimed a decisive victory in which 359 died, 574 were wounded and 47 soldiers were captured.

Fewer voices are around to tell the tale of fractured mortar shells, bullets and corpses that blanketed the beaches on D-Day. North Vancouver resident Frank Zantoas is one of the roughly 90,000 Second World War veterans left of the million who served in Canada’s Armed Forces.

Zantoas, 90, says he still remembers D-Day like it happened yesterday and not 70 years ago.

“It was quite a day,” he said. “It’s something you just can’t imagine, the way things happened, being such a small part of it.”

Zantoas recalls feeling excited and worried about approaching the shore at the break of dawn on D-Day, but he “didn’t have time to feel sorry” for himself because the task

“All around, there was combat,” he said.

“It was deafening. And the Germans with the mortar shells, they made this terrible noise day and night. And then these flash bombs would light up whole areas like you’re in downtown New York.”

Zantoas enlisted in the Canadian military at 19 in 1942. He served in the Provost Corps, which is the military police corps.

His duties included traffic control and directing tanks while riding along with them on his motorcycle. Of his unit, Zantoas is the only one living.

“I’m kind of glad it’s over,” he added, about serving in the war. “I (miss) the comradeship you go through, especially when you were there, everyone

was a part of it. We’re all getting bombed. But I remember the children getting taken out of their homes and moved places.

It was quite sad, really.”

As Zantoas’s job was to keep the roads clear for tanks and infantry, he also remembers having to move civilians off the road.

“It was too bad for the families,” he added. “We couldn’t have them on the roads with horses and wagons, with the tanks. We had to kick them off. Here they were, they had no place to go. It was always late to get help for those people.”

While the veteran’s memories are inundated with the horrors of war, Zantoas said he focuses on the good times, too, despite being few and far between in battle.

“The things I remember

around that time are the good days,” he said. “We had these rest periods and we’re all out having mobile showers and all the women were lined up watching us shower, waving at us.”

The 90-year-old’s quick wit and charm haven’t changed over the years, he noted, and recalled one of his favourite pastimes during the intense training they received for the Provost Corps in England.

“We were always stealing each other’s girlfriends,” he said. “The men are all great dart players there, ya know.

But I never learned to play darts. These guys are at the pubs, they’re shooting, and all these beautiful girls would be sitting there by themselves. So, I joined the women. I never learned to play darts.”

Although he remembers the fun times during

training, it wasn’t quite the same when they trained for D-Day in northern Scotland.

“We’re wading in this ice cold water, all this kind of stuff,” he said. “We had to learn how to drive different types of vehicles.

It was quite an experience.”

After surviving D-Day, Zantoas was involved in another major battle when the Allies pushed the German army back towards Falaise in Normandy. A mortar shell blindsided him while he was riding his motorcycle and he woke up in an aid station.

“Anywhere all this stuff would break out and you didn’t know where or why,” he added. “The Germans had a big breakout and we had them surrounded and they just broke out and it was pretty dangerous all

around there for awhile.”

Two months later, Zantoas was back on the field. He was in Holland when the war was declared over.

Zantoas has received many honours commemorating his service in the Second World War, including the 1939 to 1945 Star, the Italy Star, the France and Germany Star, the Defence Medal.

After all these years, the North Vancouver veteran says he’ll never forget.

“Some things remind me of it,” he said. “I learned to put stuff out of my mind as quickly as I can, and you can’t live with it being there, but little things will remind me of it.

“If I see a grown man crying at a funeral, I see the guys there crying — little things like that come back to me.”

Rotating strikes to hit North Shore schools Wednesday From page 1 parents are feeling frustrated at being caught in the middle of the dispute.

He added he supports teachers on class size and composition, but not on their wage demands.

Hutniak said a full-scale strike just before summer holidays might be easier for some parents to deal with than the uncertainty of the rotating strikes, which he said are “causing havoc.”

High school students in North Vancouver added their voices to the debate this week by staging walkouts Wednesday to protest being caught in the middle of the dispute.

“We’re in the middle of the fight between the government and teachers and it’s not fair on us to be losing our school time,” said 14-year-old Jennifer Shannon, a Grade 8 student at Argyle secondary.

About 50 Argyle students walked out of classes Wednesday morning and gathered outside the school entrance with signs bearing slogans like The System is Broken.

Students later marched to North Vancouver-Seymour MLA Jane Thornthwaite’s office nearby.

Most of those who were taking part in the walkout said they are more sympathetic to the teachers, and blamed employers for imposing lockout conditions, which they said, are hurting students.

It appears the fire started in the garage and spread to the home’s kitchen and attic.

It is not likely the rest of the house can be salvaged, though the family is insured, Cairns said.

“A good portion of the roof was burned away so part of the roof is collapsing and there’s heavy smoke and water damage throughout the house,” he said.

Unfortunately, it is likely the cause of the blaze will go down as “undetermined.”

“The fire damage is so severe . . . that it will be very difficult to determine the

exact cause and point of origin,” Cairns said.

Emergency Social Services volunteers were assisting the family within a half-hour, Cairns said.

They’ve since been provided with some new clothing and temporary accommodation at a local hotel.

“It’s a really big help for the residents because we can’t deal with the residents right away in those first few hours because we’re dealing with the fire,” Cairns said.

The incident underscores the need to have working smoke detectors and a quick exit plan in the event of a fire, Cairns said.

“If I have a question in an important subject like math or science (or) if I have a test coming up, I can’t talk to my teacher,” she said.

Students added the library has been locked at lunch and they have no access to the Internet to do research during that time.

going on “since I was in Grade 2.That was 10 years ago,” he said.

The North Vancouver walkout was part of a larger student walkout organized through a Facebook group this week.

In a letter to parents sent out June 3, John Lewis, superintendent of schools for the North Vancouver School District, urged students to stay in school.

In the letter, Lewis said students who take part in unsupervised activities “place students at risk and are disruptive to learning and to the community at large.”

Johnson said he thought the letter was “hypocritical.”

Rotating strikes are to continue next week with school closures in North and West Vancouver planned for Wednesday.

VIEWPOINT PUBLISHED BY NORTH SHORE NEWS A DIVISION OF LMP PUBLICATION LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, 100-126 EAST 15TH STREET, NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C. V7L 2P9. DOUG FOOT, PUBLISHER. CANADIAN PUBLICATIONS MAIL SALES PRODUCT AGREEMENT NO. 40010186.

Day to remember S

eventy years ago, about 15,000 Canadian soldiers landed on the beaches of Normandy as part of the Allied invasion of Europe known as D-Day. About 340 of them died that day, among 1,000 Canadian casualties. In the months following, more than 5,000 Canadian soldiers died.

Seven decades on, it’s hard to imagine a military mission of that magnitude being launched in such secrecy across the English Channel.

It was long before the days of Twitter and the 24-hour news cycle.

It was also a time when other ideals held sway, including that of sacrifice and doing the right thing.

It’s almost impossible for us to imagine what it was like for the Canadian soldiers who crouched in the landing craft on rolling seas that day,

the bravado of youth layered on top of terror. By all accounts, the scenes of carnage that waited were as terrible.

Those young soldiers, barely out of their teens, are old men now, many of them in their 90s.

The ceremonies this year could be the last most of them will attend.

As their numbers dwindle, the first-hand memory of the day grows dimmer.

Decades on, we are still learning the lessons of history.

Our challenge as we honour the last veterans of D-Day is to remember and appreciate what spurred young men to land on the beaches in the path of hell — the respect for liberty and human dignity, a belief in ideals that were bigger than themselves.

Our responsibility as Canadians is to continue to be worthy of their sacrifice.

Gateway to a revitalized Ambleside So what would you prefer for the renamed West Vancouver?

Grosvenorville? Or Grosvenor City, which sounds classier?

Aw, not serious. Just imagining the Londonbased company as the pioneer — surpassing old John Lawson — of the new, new West Vancouver, through its glittering, block-long project on the south side of 1300-block Marine Drive, gateway to a projected greatly revitalized Ambleside.

That said: What about the north side?

Well, the present “gateway” is a big swath of dirt, an excavation straight across from Grosvenor’s up-market project. Shell owns it. A seasoned businessman, my Agent 6Voar42C, believes Shell has no intention of selling

this once-and-maybefuture corner service station site.

The rest of the block consists of time-worn but well-kept 1950s-era shops.

owners — but stop right here if you leap to the conclusion that the venerable English company aims to expand its 13th and Marine beachhead.

I didn’t leap to the conclusion, but I leaped to the possibility. In fact if I were advising Grosvenor (for a substantial consultancy fee) I’d urge: Buy out the seven north-side landlords and build a boutique hotel to complement your southside condos, adding more fancy-pants shops.

Of course as a citizen I’d urge no such thing.

The north-side businesses are a varied lot, including good restaurant Chez Michel, chic Caliente Fashions, Malkin cleaners (since 1923!), a popular veterinary hospital, Hands On Alterations, etc. Some

just won’t sit well under Grosvenor’s shadow.

So I’m afraid my questions to unbelievably wealthy Grosvenor about any interest in the northside block bordered on the brusque. (What does “unbelievably wealthy” mean? This: Grosvenor is a self-described London-based “privatelyowned property group with 17 offices in 11 countries around the world,” founded in 1677.

London has the priciest real estate in the world.

How pricey? Bloomberg Businessweek reports that real-estate firm Savills estimates that London’s 10 richest boroughs are “worth nine per cent more than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland combined.” Read that again. And the Grosvenor family owns huge chunks

of the richest of the rich — central London.)

Grosvenor replied, coolly I’d call it: “We are contacting property owners on the north side of Marine Drive to inform them of construction plans and to meet the District of West Vancouver’s expectation that construction be carried out in an efficient manner to limit disruption.

“This communication to property owners is a standard practice and part of Grosvenor’s ongoing commitment to every community. Any other insinuation you make in this regard is factually inaccurate.”

Old-world courtesy or not, if I were a landlord such a call would remind me:Years of noise. Dust.

Cranes. Lumbering trucks.

Parking nightmare. Have

to lower rents, hard to keep or get new tenants. A diminishing asset. Better sell now.

Jane Edgar, wittily calling herself La Presidente of Caliente, is forthright about block tenants: “We are community. We support each other. …

We aren’t just losing view, we’re losing sky.” At the gentle Christian Science reading room, one of only two in Metro, the very nice operators praised landlord Al Veljacic — who also owns Malkin,Yasmin, and Takeoff Now Travel — for his reasonable rents. Veljacic says: “I haven’t talked to anybody who’s happy about this. … I don’t want to see a corridor of buildings like the West End.” OK, it’s business. And See Merchants page 11

VIEWPOINT

A few key players emerge in the Ledge

The end of the legislature session allows us to take stock of our MLAs, our political parties and the political scene in general.

Who emerged as key players?Which issues resonated with the public?

The B.C. Liberals continued to exude confidence — even cockiness — throughout the session, as its MLAs still ride high in the saddle after having their unexpected new lease on political life granted by voters last year.

Premier Christy Clark has gone from being derided as “premier photo-op,” for insisting on being front and centre in everything her government was doing, to being a hands-off leader willing to delegate all kinds of responsibilities to those around her.

She is also very clearly the leader of her party and caucus, and continues to be their star performer in the legislature (although she has continued her disdain for the place, usually only attending the session two days a week).

It also became even more clear in this past session that the “quarterback” of the B.C. Liberals is Finance Minister Mike de Jong. As the government house leader he controlled the legislature’s proceedings and acted as

View from the Ledge

a calming presence for his side when things got a little raucous.

Of the veterans on the government side, Energy Minister Bill Bennett has gone from being banished from Gordon Campbell’s government to being a major force under Clark.

And it is evident that Jobs Minister Shirley Bond, Environment Minister Mary Polak and LNG Minister Rich Coleman are key lieutenants to the premier.

Of the newcomers, Transportation Minister Todd Stone stood out as perhaps the ablest performer in the house, as he time and again swatted away NDP attacks on his reductions to some B.C. Ferry route sailings or on his plans for transit and transportation in Metro Vancouver.

After a bit of a shaky start, Attorney-General Suzanne Anton seemed to steady herself and emerged stronger at the end of the session than at the beginning.

And Technology Minister Andrew Wilkinson displayed a demonstrable ability to really get under the skin of NDP MLAs, thus pretty well ensuring he may get a higher-profile portfolio sooner than later.

On the NDP side, things weren’t quite as rosy.The caucus is slowly coming out of its near coma-like state that enveloped it for so long after the party’s devastating election loss, and some veteran MLAs often looked like they would have liked to have been anywhere other than the legislature.

The party’s leadership problem was a major distraction for most of the session and helped suck the energy out of the caucus.

The inevitable choice of John Horgan as leader came too late in the session to have much of an impact on things.

The caucus didn’t garner much media coverage during the session, which isn’t that unusual in the first year of a government’s mandate.

The NDP rarely broke new ground on many issues and often offered predictably negative responses to anything the government did.

Question period, the prime vehicle to get public attention, often consisted of NDP MLAs asking questions about issues or stories that were weeks old or had already received widespread attention. And so QP, so vital a tool to an opposition party, often became a non-event.

There was the odd exception, of course. Most notable was the NDP’s focus on the “claw back” of child support payments to women on dis-

ability assistance.The party made credible arguments about the unfairness of the government’s policy, and I wouldn’t be surprised if some positive changes occur as a result.

Two pieces of legislation stood out: one to allow a transit referendum in Metro Vancouver and the other to divide the Agriculture Land Reserve into two zones, with one of them having more potential for development of farmland.

The NDP chose the ALR bill as the hill to die on, and the session ended in acrimony and bitterness (for some) as the bill inevitably passed into law.

It was a fitting issue on which to end the session, since the ALR legislation neatly framed a crucial difference between the two parties, as the changes it allows will likely be more popular in the Interior and

the North, two areas the NDP is increasingly having trouble connecting with.

And so the legislature now sits quiet until October, when the politicians return and the shouting begins anew. I can’t wait!

Seaspan, tugboat Joint Masters officers avert strike in International Management

Labour minister helps unions to agree on binding arbitration JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

A tugboat strike at Seaspan with the potential to paralyze marine operations in the port has been averted after the federal labour minister stepped in this week to get the two sides back together.

Labour Minister Kellie Leitch flew to the West Coast after two unions representing about 400 Seaspan tugboat captains and crew threatened to strike as early as Sunday.

Following discussions, the company and the Canadian Merchant Service Guild, representing tugboat captains, mates and engineers, agreed to arbitration.

The International Longshore and Warehouse Union representing deckhands is not a part of that process, but has agreed not to strike while talks continue.

Strike votes in the past week were prompted after Seaspan sent a letter to the union, saying it intended to unilaterally impose a new agreement on union members, said Terry Engler, president of the ILWU’s Local 400.

Engler described that as an “outrage” and an

One year. Two countries. Two business graduate credentials.

“attempt to smash the union.”

“No one has heard of that happening before,” he said.

The latest moves come after 15 months of negotiations, which have so far failed to result in a contract. The last contract ran out in October of last year.

Engler said the big issues for union members are benefit, pension and overtime provisions, which he said Seaspan is trying to “more than roll back.”

Jonathan Whitworth, chief executive officer for Seaspan, said the company is asking for changes to ensure the business stays competitive with other companies.

While the union agreements have not changed much in 40 years, in the last five years, Seaspan has faced increased competition from companies doing towing and ship docking that have significantly lower labour costs, said Whitworth.

Seaspan labour costs on tugboats are about 30 per cent higher than the competition, he said, which is passed on to the customers. Many of those customers — including those in the forest industry — are already operating

on a “razor’s edge” of viability, he said.

In the past five years, Seaspan has lost 120 mariners’ jobs, according to Whitworth.

“It has everything to do with competition and economics,” Whitworth said.

He said the benefits for the tugboat captains and crews are substantially different than those for union members who work in the shipyards, for instance.

Engler said his union has never been on strike before at Seaspan. He said while a strike has been averted for now, that remains a possibility if an agreement can’t be reached.

A spokesman for the mariners’ guild could not be reached for comment.

Whitworth said the tugboat captains and crews are crucial to Seaspan’s operations in the port and on the coast.

“Without them we don’t work,” he said. “We don’t operate.”

INQUIRING REPORTER Raising the minimum wage obstructs an efficient labour market, according to those who profit from an efficient labour market. Like Groucho Marx insisting wages will turn his employees into wage slaves, many companies won’t raise salaries unless the government mandates it. Illustrative of that acquisitiveness, McDonald’s recommended their employees save money by foregoing heat and health insurance. Comparatively, B.C.’s $10.25 minimum is reasonable, but Vancouver’s living expenses are definitely not. Weigh in at nsnews.com * #(!(") '%($%(!&

Lucas Snowden North Vancouver “Yes. In comparison to the living costs, it doesn’t really match.Vancouver’s one of the most expensive cities to live in in North America.”

Should B.C. raise the minimum wage?

Mel Ward North Vancouver “Our living cost is so high, our minimum wage should be equally as high.”

Rachelle Gendron North Vancouver “I’m for it within reason. It shouldn’t be so high it ruins a bunch of small companies.”

Trustees elected to rise above politics Dear Editor: An open letter to school trustees of North and West Vancouver: I have great trouble trying to figure out why not one of the elected school board trustees in North and West Vancouver opposed a B.C. Public School Employers’ Assocation directive to lock out teachers before, during and after school.

As a teacher, when a student asks for help as lunch begins, I have to say “Sorry, but under the lockout provisions, I am prohibited from working during my lunch hour.”When a student asks for their essay back, I have to say, “Sorry, but under the lockout provisions, I only have 45 minutes before school and 45 minutes after school to mark 120 papers — a time I also have to put aside for planning your classes.” Under the lockout provisions, I have been told that I can still volunteer for extracurricular activities, but I question whether I want to when I have been barred from working with students so as to justify a 10 per cent pay cut. By not opposing this lockout, are you really serving the best interests of the community you serve?

As a parent, I have similar concerns. I’m concerned when my nine-year-old comes home from school with a full lunch and tells me she couldn’t eat because the behaviour of students has dramatically deteriorated without teacher presence. I am concerned you re-defined a teacher’s workday by suggesting working through the evening, on weekends and on holidays is now beyond the employer’s expecta-

tions. It has been suggested that it takes 21 days to create a new habit: teachers are halfway to realizing the new work culture your lockout has prescribed. Is this good for your community?

Have you thought about the ramifications if, God forbid, something happens at a school while every teacher is two-blocks away having been locked out of schools because you failed to oppose a ludicrous directive from BCPSEA, the government’s bargaining agent?

As both a parent and a teacher, too many times I scoff at the perceived childlike behaviour of both the B.C.Teachers’ Federation and the Liberal government. But school trustees were elected to rise above irresponsible politics.

By failing to oppose the BCPSEA directive to bar teachers from fulfilling all their duties during the school day, you have not acted in the best interests of students, parents, your employees and your community in general.

the world, even West Van, changes. I get Mayor Michael Smith’s blunt take that the north block “needs redevelopment. …

It has taken a very long time to get someone to make a major investment in Ambleside. If you ask the merchants, this is very much needed, as business is really struggling. We need to tie the commercial area to the waterfront, as this will attract visitors.”

Smith, a hardheaded businessman in a previous life, also candidly welcomes more tax revenue from the block. Smith and council negotiated an impressive $11 million in community assets from Grosvenor.

Growth arguably benefits all. Sound theory, but it may not mollify some actual people, like north-side 1300-block landlords and tenants and view-losing residents — forgotten in the euphoria.

••• Meanwhile, Addition Elle, clothing for sizable ladies, last week left for Burnaby, leaving Park Royal Shopping Centre where the relentless pursuit of Platinum Card clientele marches on.

No closure for the bustling 7-Eleven at 14th and Marine: A threeyear lease well below the rumoured nearly 300 per cent rent rise that nearly chased it away. A landlord may have read the story about killing the goose that laid the golden egg.

Festivities kicked off with a wine and cheese reception and silent auction. Then, Maxwell, an actor, educator and speaker on the lived experience of mental illness and recovery, took the stage. Her show looks at both the light and dark side of living with bipolar disorder, anxiety and psychosis, and describes one woman’s journey of coming to terms with mental illness within herself and in her family.

Culinary adventures with Salt, Fresh & Field

Into the wild

■ Salt, Fresh & Field, First three episodes available exclusively on TELUS Optik TV. ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com

At age 16, Chad Brealey recalls rappelling down into the Capilano Canyon, a truly memorable multi-sensory experience.

Years later, during filming for his new television series, Salt, Fresh & Field, Brealey has been reminded of the emotions felt during those excursions, finding himself able to harness the same sense of wonder, amazement and appreciation for what’s going on around him.

The digitally focused show’s host and coexecutive producer is continuing to challenge himself with new experiences, finding himself all over Western Canada in an effort to showcase regional food stories.

“As soon as you immerse yourself in new communities, and new people and new adventures, you come alive that much more, and you kind of become a kid again,” he says.

Salt, Fresh & Field premiered May 31 and

the first three episodes are available for free on TELUS Optik TV On Demand. Episodes chronicle Brealey’s search for fresh food, following him as he goes hunting, fishing or gathering. Then, the food is prepared and celebrated.

Brealey calls on a colourful cast of local characters, from biologists to fishermen and high-end chefs, giving viewers an opportunity to see things through their respective eyes as they enjoy the resulting meal together. “The passion that these communities have for their own food stories is . . . sitting there right on the surface, just nobody’s asked them yet,” he says.

Brealey grew up in North Vancouver and graduated from Handsworth secondary.

He’s currently based in Calgary, though still spends much of his time in Vancouver. His North Shore childhood strongly impacted his perspective. Brealey grew up wandering the wilderness, fishing and exploring area waterways. He went on to work in conservation, including with the Pacific Salmon Foundation, and co-founded the Haig-Brown Institute.

Around 2010, Brealey noticed a shift, seeing people suddenly express an interest in joining him on his hunting and fishing trips, and in discovering what he did in the kitchen thereafter.

“There seemed to be a groundswell of interest in just the general subject matter and I started looking into the media front of it, that’s a bit of my background (my background is more print publishing than anything), and suddenly realized there really wasn’t anything out there that was tackling this potentially large and dedicated and interested market,” he says.

Salt, Fresh & Field was produced by Brealey and his business partner Mary Kellough through their company, Salt, Fresh & Field Media, in partnership with TELUS Optik Local through its Community Access Grant Program.

The show takes a different approach than many of the typical food shows out there, which are often recipe-focused or competitionbased.

If you’ve ever wanted to spit in Douglas Coupland’s face, your opportunity has finally arrived.

Gumhead looms outside the Vancouver Art Gallery.The towering structure is modeled on Coupland’s cranium and art aficionados are invited to stick their gum wherever they please and watch the sculpture grow like a Chia Pet sprouting masticated Bazooka Joe and mangled winterfresh mint.

Inside, the exhibition is divided into six sections including Secret Handshake, which exists on a frequency audible only to Canadians.

There’s plywood on the wall to invoke the lumber industry as well as the basement that your best friend’s dad never got around to finishing. Deer antlers tangled in 8-track tape round out the room.

“I wanted to create images understandable only to Canadians. Americans should look at these photos and think, ‘Everything looks familiar, and yet nothing is familiar,’” stated Coupland in a release.

Replete with Emily Carr references, ice storm remembrances, and Robin Hood flour, the exhibit delves into the challenges faced by such a huge, sprawling country.

For VAG chief curator Daina Augaitis, Secret Handshake asks the question: “What constitutes this social experiment called Canada?”

Before Coupland coined the term McJobs and plumbed the ridiculousness of reality TV, he was an Emily Carr art student.

The exhibition, Douglas Coupland: everywhere is anywhere is anything is everything, is the culmination of his return to visual art after forging a career writing generation-defining satire.

Coupland was thrilled to bring his art to the VAG, according to Augaitis.

“In the many years that I’ve been working as a curator I’ve never had such an enthusiastic response at the other end of the phone,” she says.

The curator took time to speak to the North Shore News after the frenzy of setting up 100 of Coupland’s works over 10,000 square feet.

“The craziness has ended,” she says with an exhale.

Augaitis’ job was trying to make sense of Coupland’s prolific output. Since 2000, Coupland has sculpted, crafted word art, painted acrylic on canvas, and built Lego.

The sensibility behind Generation X:Tales for an Accelerated Culture and Worst.Person.Ever. is apparent in each of his works.

“It’s really the same Doug Coupland that you see behind all of these things,” Augaitis says. “He’s been very articulate in describing the effects of technology and trying to think about where it’s taking us, what the future might look like.”

Coupland builds the future one block at a time in Growing Up Utopian, an exhibit fashioned out of Lego.

Nearly identical Lego houses represent post-war optimism and pre-apocalypse pessimism, while crowdsourced Lego towers are a vision of the urban jungles to come.

“The ensuing hybrid buildings might well have emerged from a parallel universe, or from the year 2500,” according to Coupland.

While Coupland’s head is outside the VAG, his brain is inside.

The Brain is the product of 15 years of collecting toys, trinkets and Craigslist castoffs, and knowing he would eventually have to make sense of them, according to Augaitis, who called the exhibit “a cabinet of curiosities.”

For Coupland, who has frequently meditated on the difference between the pre- and post-Internet brain, the exhibition is a selfie of the subconscious.

Overseen by the specters of Andy Warhol and Osama Bin Laden, the exhibit is a meditation on the oil-based economy, loneliness, and imagination. “(Coupland is) searching to articulate and to understand the society that we’ve created and that we inhabit,” Augaitis says.

The exhibit is a manifestation of Coupland’s visual literacy, Augaitis explains.

“When you speak with him he talks about visualizing the words . . . so I think he’s an extremely visually-oriented and visually-literate person,” she says.

Shortly before beginning the interview, Augaitis says she took a peek out the window, although not to check the weather.

“It’s starting to get dotted with lots of gum,” she reports of Gumhead.

Douglas Coupland: everywhere is anywhere is anything is everything, will become nowhere Sept. 1.

When Mishelle Cuttler does her job right, no one really notices — and she’s OK with that.

As a sound designer, her goal is to blend audio elements into theatre productions so seamlessly that the audience is barely aware she’s there.

“If it’s done well, hopefully you don’t even know it’s happening,” says the former North Shore resident and WestVancouver secondary alumna.

Most recently, Cuttler has taken on the sound design and original music for The Concessions, presented by Vancouver-basedTouchstone Theatre in association with PlaywrightsTheatre Centre and the Firehall Arts Centre. Part mystery, part psychological drama, the “Canadian gothic” play, as it’s billed, centres around a horrific act of violence in a small town. Directed

by Katrina Dunn, the cast includes Jillian Fargey, Sebastian Kroon, Marilyn Norry, Emma Slipp and Alec Willows.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to FASHION & STYLE

Design duo creates luxe bags The ‘Susie’ features exotic skins and jewelled handles

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

When a handbag designer and a jewelry designer join creative forces, the result is part functional, part fashionable and 100 per cent luxurious.

Bowen Island resident Larissa Stefani, formerly of West Vancouver, is behind the Lloyd & Wolf brand of leather accessories and Swedish-born Liselott Montesano, now based in Vancouver, has a namesake line of handcrafted jewelry.

The two were familiar with each other’s work prior to teaming up, their designs having been featured together in TV segments and articles by fashion personality and style writer Susie Wall. In fact, the frequency at which their handbags and jewelry appeared side by side in the media had Stefani thinking the pair might be kindred spirits. So she approached Montesano and proposed a collaborative project.

“I just had this idea in the back of my mind,” she says. “I had never even met (Montesano) but asked her for a coffee and we met and I pulled the idea on her and thankfully she thought that it was fantastic.”

The fashionable fruit of their labour is the “Susie” — a mini box bag adorned with handcrafted jewels fittingly named for the style maven who brought the two designers together.The capsule collection includes just two of the limitededition bags.

Stefani crafted the bags out of exotic animal skins, such as stingray and cayman, and finished them with lambskin trim and lamb suede lining.

Meanwhile, Montesano designed the jewelled handles. One of the bags features feminine pearls and silver tassels up-cycled from an antique pair of earrings.

The other has an edgier look with vintage bronze chains from the 1940s woven with oxidized silver chain and featuring goldbrushed skulls.

While the Susie bag adheres to Stefani’s design preference for simplicity and clean lines, it diverges significantly from her regular handbag collection.

The leathers are more exotic, the style is more sophisticated, there are none of Lloyd & Wolf’s signature cone-shaped studs and, at just seven inches wide, it will fit only the essentials needed for a night out.

“Most of my other bags I try to build in as much versatility as I can,” Stefani explains.

At $1,375, the Susie is definitely a luxury purchase.

And once the two bags are sold, there will be no more made.

“Either one of them, they’re one-of-a-kinds.”

This marks the first time Stefani has collaborated with another designer since she founded Lloyd & Wolf in September 2013 and the experience working with See Part page 23

Montesano has encouraged her to pursue other creative partnerships in the future.

“It’s turned into a lovely rapport, thankfully.We have a great friendship,” she says, noting the pair already have another special-release bag in the works.

“I think women need to support one another and not be in competition so collaborating with someone, to me, just is brilliant because you’re working your strengths and you have somebody to work with.”

Fifteen per cent of the sales price of the Susie will benefit the Cause We Care Foundation, a Vancouverbased charity that assists single mothers and their children in need.

The bags are available online at lloydandwolf.com.

FILM

Chef cooks up irresistible chemistry ■ Chef.Written, directed and starring Jon Favreau.

Co-starring John Leguizamo, Sofia Vergara and Emjay Anthony.

Rating: 9 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD ContributingWriter

You’ll spit out that crappy theatre popcorn, guaranteed. Chef isn’t just a feel-good movie: it’s a looks-good, smells-good, tastes-good movie, if you use a little imagination.

Jon Favreau returns to writing and directing his own material — as he did with Swingers (1996) and Made (2001), both co-starring Vince Vaughn — after a period directing such smash hits as Elf, Iron Man and Iron Man 2.

In Chef he plays Carl Casper, executive chef in a popular L.A. restaurant.

He has a reliable team (Bobby Cannavale, John Leguizamo), state-of-theart equipment, and a loyal front-of-house manager who occasionally sleeps over (Scarlett Johansson).

What he doesn’t have is the freedom to be the edgy culinary artist he once was, and it’s eating him up.

Carl’s creative passion is being reined-in by the boss (Dustin Hoffman) who tells him to “be an artist on your own time.” His hit-list, which he’s been playing for five years, includes crowdpleasers such as chocolate lava cake.Tasty, maybe, but hardly earth-shattering.

There are personal crises, too. “Why don’t I cook you something?” is Carl’s infallible pickup line, yet he doesn’t have time to date.

And Carl shares custody of his 10-year-old son Percy (Emjay Anthony) but usually ends up making the boy tag along on trips to the farmers market. If only he’d put half of his passion into parenting that he puts into his menu planning.

Things boil over when a food critic (Oliver Platt) writes a scathing review.

Technologically impaired Carl starts a Twitter war with the man without even See Food page 28

“We just wanted to get into the beauty and the culture and the small communities and the amazing stories that immediately happen when you start looking for your food,” says Brealey.

The show is given a cinematic treatment, similar in quality and look to a feature film.

“It’s showing people these beautiful stunning things that are literally in their backyard,” says Brealey.

The show’s rich soundtrack showcases emerging artists, native to the episode’s shooting location.

The first episode offers a cross-cultural take on the sea urchin, comparing how uni is viewed in Victoria in contrast to Japan, where it’s a revered, expensive and sought-after specialty food.

The second episode sees Brealey go ice fishing on northern Alberta’s Slave Lake, joined by area chef Tony Giesbrecht, from Top Chef Canada.

And the third follows the journey of chef Jeff Van Geest of Oliver’s Miradoro restaurant. An avid farm to table restaurateur, Van Geest goes hunting for the first time in search of his first whitetail deer.

“There was a lot of emotion attached to it for him because it was really his experience,” says Brealey. “Of course he’s cooked for thousands and thousands of people but he’s never provided them with his food before in that way. And that’s the case really across the board that we’re finding, is people have these very personal attachments to their food and they don’t necessarily even know it until we present them with that opportunity.”

Brealey hopes to shoot more episodes as a means of continuing to offer viewers a shift of perspective.

“We’re not expecting people to suddenly go out and become anglers and hunters and so on, but there are places that are available that people can appreciate, and appreciating those that do that is kind of the next step and it’s kind of one big step past the farmers market.”

Canadian recording of the week ■ Timber Timbre — Hot Dreams (Arts & Crafts).

Taylor Kirk is never less than menacing on Timber Timbre’s surreal Hot Dreams, released April 1.

Listening to his dry, sardonic readings of tunes like “Curtains” and “Bring Me Simple Men” you never really know if he’s deadly serious or putting one over on you.

Guests include Tasseomancy’s Romy Lightman on background vocals and Colin Stetson on “velvet saxophone.”

These are murder ballads filtered through the dread vox of David Lynch and executed with the artistic precision of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

Timber Timbre play the Commodore on June 10.

Food truck turns Chef into a road movie

From page 25 realizing it, then blows up at him in person in a fracas that goes viral. Now he’s kind of famous, and most definitely out of a job.

Carl’s ex, Oscar’s mom, Inez, has been telling him to go it alone for years (Sofia Vergara; does that woman ever wear sweatpants?). Inez cajoles

Carl into coming with her and Percy to Miami, then casually mentions that her other ex-husband may be able to help (Robert Downey Jr, in a memorably funny scene).

The solution turns out to be a food truck, serving delectable Cuban sandwiches, and now it’s a road movie. Carl is joined

by his old assistant Martin (Leguizamo) and by Percy, while mom flies home to L.A. first class. Percy may have to steer clear of the fryer but he proves invaluable when it comes to marketing: the boy tweets, vines and facebooks every step of their journey, creating significant buzz and long lines wherever the

El Jefe truck stops.

The food-prep scenes will make your mouth water right there in the theatre. “Food porn” seems to be the popular moniker given to this kind of food fetishism, and Favreau doesn’t discriminate: there’s equal love given to a killer grilled cheese sandwich as there is

to a trussed-up squab.

It’s a simple conceit enhanced by the easy chemistry between father and son and the wisdom (some of it questionable) acquired on the crosscontinental journey. Add memorable supporting turns (Amy Sedaris) and a lively soundtrack, and Chef is irresistible.

Cuttler has also composed the original music for the show, some of which she recorded herself and some she produced digitally.When designing the sound and music, Cuttler says she tried to balance both the mystical elements of the story with the small-town drama.The tiny community in which the play is set becomes gripped by fear after the tarot-cardreading main character, Faye, discovers a murdered body in the forest.

“It’s mostly just about people and how they deal with each other and how they deal with a crisis.”

Cuttler received her bachelor of fine arts in acting from UBC in 2011 and continues to work as an actor.While she never formally studied sound design, her background in classical piano and musical theatre earned her the opportunity to write the score for one of her university theatre productions. Similar work offers followed and, after graduating, Cuttler began to master the more technical side of sound design. It’s been enlightening to work as part of both casts and crews, she says.

“When you’re an actor you don’t go to design meetings and production meetings and you kind of are unaware of all the other stuff that’s happening around you while you’re in rehearsal,” she says, “so it’s really great to get to be on that side and see all the people that are working to make the show happen while you’re in the rehearsal hall acting.”

Cuttler adds that she feels fortunate to have the skills and training to land jobs in more than one area of theatre.

“It keeps me doing theatre all the time, instead of having to be a waitress,” she says.

The Concessions marks Cuttler’s first time working on one ofTouchstone Theatre’s main stage shows and, knowing the company’s all-Canadian mandate, she’s not surprised this particular play was selected as the 2014 Flying Start production.

“I think at the core it’s really about a Canadian experience and about a human experience and I think that that’s important to tell,” she says.

car as a coupe which has a set of rear doors to make entry into the back seats easier.

The four-door coupe body design does come with one big advantage, and that’s aerodynamic efficiency.The CLA boasts the lowest drag coefficient of any production sedan at 0.28.

The CLA is based on Mercedes-Benz’s B-Class architecture; sharing platforms across a range is commonplace in today’s market as it is the only way for manufacturers to effectively expand their model range without adding

The manual transmission is a relic of the past, fading from the options lists of everything from the Porsche GT3 to the Audi A4.

Standard? Don’t make me laugh — these days, the base transmission is far more likely to be an automatic, and if you want a stick, you might have to order it and wait for a while.

Well, fine. If people don’t understand what it is about a stick shift that appeals, then someone’s got to teach them. How about getting your first taste of the manual transmission in a Ferrari — would that about do it?

Judging from the grin plastered on the face of the young lady who’s piloting this car — a low, wedgeshaped, black Dino GT4 — around the coned-off tarmac in Maple Ridge,

A gateway to luxury

Scan the photo on this page with the Layar app to view a commercial featuring a Mercedes-Benz CLA250 in some sort of duel against a wolf.

For many decades, Mercedes-Benz has long been a brand associated with luxury and exclusivity.

In recent years however, Mercedes has been releasing more and more vehicles that are at “entry level” pricing, allowing Mercedes to entice buyers into its brand early in their car-buying lives.

These include everything from the Smart Fortwo, starting at less than $15,000, to their B-Class models, priced around $30,000.

The CLA-Class joins the lineup in 2014, offering a sleek four-door coupe design for less than $35,000 — a true accomplishment

David Chao

Behind the Wheel considering that the CLA offers many features and design elements that make the car look and feel much more expensive.

Design Mercedes-Benz considers

the CLA-Class an entrylevel luxury product, but that does not mean it is not a premium car.

Mercedes’ aim is to bring new customers to the brand through innovative design and premium features.

Mercedes pioneered the four-door coupe design concept with its CLS-Class.

This idea — of creating a four-door car that looks like a coupe — has now been copied by most other luxury brands.The CLA borrows a lot of the styling cues from the stylistic CLS model and brings those exciting design features to a new segment.

The description “fourdoor coupe” sounds odd, but it’s best to think of this

TODAY’S DRIVE

Kids interested in cars that are interesting From page 37

that’d be a big fat “Yes.” This is her first time doing the three-pedal dance, and she’s doing it in a Ferrari.

That’s not all. One other young gent is having a go in an Intermeccanica Kubelwagen, while another beaming youth steps out of a 1963 Austin Mini — a left-hand-drive to boot.

Welcome to the Hagerty Driving Experience, a unique event held on the West Coast for the first time in its three-year run.This is the 13th time the classic car insurance company has put on such a show, and the aim is simple: if you want young people to care about cars, and the lost art of the stick

shift transmission, teach them how to love behind the wheel of something with a little charisma.

Hagerty, of course, has a vested interest in making sure that there’s a continuing legacy of young folk growing up to have a love and appreciation of the automobile. If, upon being handed the keys to dear old departed grandad’s E-Type, you immediately flog the thing off in the nearest auction to fund a smartphone buying spree, then all these cars will one day end up in museums, tucked away behind the velvet rope.

If so, then only storage insurance will be needed.

The Hagerty business

plan is more about people getting out and actually enjoying their cars.What’s more, beyond the long-term planning, most Hagerty employees are at least seminuts about cars themselves.

Their director for sales and marketing, Nigel Matthews, started out as a trained bodyman and once bought his son an Alfa-Romeo.

He’s out there right now in a cream-coloured MGA, teaching a gangly young fellow the finer points of the clutch engagement point.

Bigger kudos must surely go to the owners of the classic cars on display here today, as every single one is here voluntarily, and they’re all about to be driven by multiple drivers who have

Will there be grinding, stalling, and bunnyhopping? Well actually, not really.

There are two training groups today, with a full 50 manual transmission neophytes spread between the ages of 17 and 26, and a nearly equal split between boys and girls. Each is walked through a technical discussion of what a clutch actually does, something even those of us who have been driving stick since the beginning rarely think about, and then are shown basic maintenance on a gleaming Jaguar, fresh from the Van Dusen All-British Field Meet.

Armed with knowledge, the youths are then set free to have a go in any one of the cars here today, and the selection is mind-boggling.

There are MGBs, regular flavour, supercharged, or GT.There’s a Corvette drop-top, a classic 911 Carrera, a Jaguar E-Type 2+2, an Opel GT — even an ex-UN Bombardier Iltis Jeep.

This last is crewed by a

gent dressed up for the day in fatigues and a blue cap, and from the bumper of his white-painted jeeplet, the Canadian flag streams proudly. Meanwhile, the diminutive Mini splashes through a giant puddle as the beaming kid inside executes a perfect one-two shift.

Most of the owners come from the Canadian Jaguar XK registry, and from the classic MG club. Some of the young people are here because they received an invite from a relative who was in one of those clubs, but there are others who heard about the event via word of mouth, and one who dropped by because his shop teacher mentioned it.They group together in gaggles, excitedly buzzing over what to drive next: the Porsche? The Ferrari? The Jaguar?

Any article that laments the fading of automotive enthusiasm among the young is, to be blunt, wrong.

It’s not that the current generation isn’t interested in cars, it’s that mainstream cars have become a bit

less interesting.

It you don’t quite understand how something mechanical works, then it becomes an appliance, something to be replaced as soon as the new, improved version comes along.You only spend money on appliances if you need them — maybe you’ll spring for the shiny version, but if you can live without it, why bother?

The kids here today are getting a better look at how thoroughly complicated and interesting a car can be.

They’re learning how to be drivers in a world that seems more and more bent on relegating the human role in an automobile to one of a passenger.

Sure, 50 new stick-shift drivers aren’t going to change the rising tide of automatic-only cars that are coming our way. However, they might just be enough to make sure that driving a stick shift doesn’t become a lost art, and that classics like these remain in the place where they belong, out on the open road. mcaleeronwheels@gmail.com

TODAY’S DRIVE

CLA wants to be your first Mercedes From page 37 significant expense. As a result of the CLA being based on a lower-scale BClass, however, it is noisier and less refined than its larger siblings.

Another byproduct of using the B-Class structure is that the base CLA is front-wheel drive.This makes it the first FWD car Mercedes-Benz has ever sold in North America.The advantage of it being frontdriven is that it will perform reasonably well in winter conditions in comparison to a rear-wheel-driven vehicle.

Performance The base model, the CLA 250 Coupe, comes with a 2.0-litre turbocharged four cylinder which produces an admirable 208 horsepower and 258 footpounds of torque.

As mentioned, the base model is FWD, however Mercedes’ 4MATIC AWD system is available as an option. Managing the power delivery to the wheels is a seven-speed automatic transmission that is smooth and well matched to the engine.

At full throttle, engine noise may be a bit more noticeable in the CLA than in one of its pricier stable mates, but it can still accelerate to 100 kilometres per hour in 6.7 seconds.

The overall performance is excellent, with more than enough power and torque to make the car feel sporty and agile.

The CLA also tackles corners remarkably well.

It shows lots of grip and is well balanced. Pushed too far though, and its FWD nature comes through with noticeable body roll and understeer.

The electric power steering provides a sporty, reasonably weighted feel, but the “road feel” is noticeably absent as the particular design of electric steering system makes it difficult to transmit what is actually going on underneath.The Electronic Stability Program can help stabilize the CLA by braking individual wheels and adjusting engine output.

Those looking for more performance can opt for the CLA 45 AMG 4Matic.

Aside from being equipped with an AWD, it boosts the horsepower to 355. AMG’s Speedshift DCT sevenspeed sports transmission is also a part of the package, allowing the car to hit 100

km/h in just 4.6 seconds.

Safety is also a priority for Mercedes-Benz, and the CLA is no different.

It comes standard with multiple features like airbags, Attention Assist — which will wake you should you fall asleep behind the wheel — and Collision Prevention Assist, which will warn you if you get too close to the car in front and will even apply the brakes.

Environment The cabin of the CLA is a true Mercedes-Benz interior, meaning it’s modern, luxurious, and even a bit trendy (yes in case you haven’t noticed, Mercedes’ interiors have been hip and cool lately).

It has many of the features found in its pricier siblings, though toned down to keep things simple.

The front seats are very firm yet comfortable — with good side support — and offer an electric driver’s seat with memory function as standard.

In the rear seats, the swooping roofline leaves only child-friendly headroom, which is a shame as there is a good amount of legroom. The roofline also results in a very narrow rear window that restricts visibility considerably, but we did say that this car is a four-door coupe, didn’t we?

On the equipment front, the CLA hasn’t lost much in the process of being transformed to an affordable Mercedes. The dash is striking with the command screen floating over the centre stack.

Standard models come with a 5.7-inch screen but a larger seven-inch display is available.

Trunk space is also quite reasonable at 470 litres. The opening is a bit narrow, but it’s nicely finished inside and the rear seats fold down 60/40 for more room.

Features The CLA 250 Coupe starts at $34,300, with AWD adding $2,200. The premium model, called the Edition 1, starts at $43,200.

The CLA 45 AMG 4Matic begins at $49,800, with Edition 1 models priced at $65,900.

Standard equipment includes an ECO start/ stop function, instrument

the CLA 250 are 7.8 city and 5.1 highway. The CLA 45 AMG returns 9.0 city and 6.5 highway.

panel with a 4.5-inch colour display, Bluetooth, automatic headlights, heated exterior mirrors, rain-sensing windshield wipers with heated washer fluid, and keyless entry.

Additional features, available as options or on higher trims, include BiXenon headlamps, LED daytime running lights, heated front seats, HDD navigation, auto dimming mirrors, rearview camera, panoramic sunroof, and an integrated garage door opener.

Fuel efficiency numbers (litres/100 kilometres) for

enthusiasts, the BMW offers the most performanceoriented option in this segment.

The 3-Series, being a true sedan, offers more usable rear seats and prices begin at $35,990.

The bottom line The stylish good looks and very reasonable price of the CLA-Class should appeal to customers who may not have considered a Mercedes-Benz before.

Competitors Audi A3 The new A3 is a serious competitor to the CLA, offering similar pricing and features.Though it’s not as stylish as the CLA, it offers a larger-car-feel and a bit more refinement. It starts at $31,100.

Thumbs up The CLA offers a surprising level of features, design elements, and performance for the dollar.

The car gets “looks” from everyone, thanks to its glamorous swooping lines.

Thumbs down While the CLA does have four doors, the rear seat headroom is limited and its overall level of refinement could be better.

Cadillac ATS The ATS is an exciting new offering from Cadillac.

It has great powertrains, outstanding handling and possibly the best interior in this segment. However, the limited cargo space and rear seat room may put off some buyers.

Prices for the ATS range from $35,695 to $51,480, very much in line with the CLA-Class. editor@automotivepress.com
