The bears are back in town

Close encounters with hungry bruins spike in summer swelter

ANNE WATSON awatson@nsnews.com

A curious black bear drew a crowd of spectators Wednesday when it lumbered into the Lynn Valley Centre parking lot and into a nearby tree.

Conservation officer Ashley Page said they received calls starting shortly before 9 a.m. on Wednesday morning of a bear with a yellow tag in its ear.

“We got a few reports on some properties in the area,” said Page.

The bear was later discovered in the shopping centre area around noon.

“We responded with a few officers,” said Page.

“When they got down on scene, they observed a bear in a row of cedar trees outside the Safeway parking lot and with the help of RCMP and North

Vancouver (district) fire, we were able to successfully immobilize the bear and transport it back to our North Vancouver office.”

Page said conservation officers had not yet determined where the bear, a 2½- to three-year-old female, would be relocated.

Other burly bruins made their presence known in three separate incidents on Tuesday in West Vancouver, when police responded to two walk-ins and one break-in by black bears. All three bears were scared off.

In the first incident, a bear made its way through an open laundry room door in the 600-block of Kenwood Road to munch on popcorn that had been left out. Another bear left a family scrambling for refuge on their balcony when it lumbered through their open front door in the 600-block of St. Andrews See Residents page 5

Experience it to believe it.

The transformation is complete.

The fight against Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion took a twist late last week, costing the project some potential delays.

The Tsleil-Waututh Nation were granted

permission by the Canadian Federal Court of Appeal on July 10 to pursue its legal challenge against the National Energy Board’s review of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion.

NEB delays pipeline review

FERRY BUILDING

spokesman for the TsleilWaututh Nation, said the court’s decision was a good one. “I sort of felt and knew that they were going to grant it but it brings to light the story of what we’re doing and why we’re doing it,” said George. “Its not just for us; its for everybody.”

The Tsleil-Waututh filed the legal challenge on May 2, alleging the federal government’s refusal to consult the band and therefore the NEB’s review of the pipeline unlawful.

The pipeline expansion would see an increase from 300,000 barrels of bitumen a day to 890,000 barrels, as well as an increase of tanker traffic in Burrard Inlet from five to 34 tankers a month.

“It’s not looking out for the best interests of our environment, it’s not looking out for the best interest of the people, it’s not looking out for the best interests of the water, it’s a flawed process,” said George.

Scott Stoness, vicepresident regulatory at Kinder Morgan Canada, said the appeal to challenge the review process was not unexpected and is a normal event for such an appeal.

“We value our relationships with aboriginal groups in whose territories we operate and we understand that the Tsleil-Waututh Nation’s current position is to not support our proposed project,” said Stoness via email. “We will continue to seek opportunities to consult with Tsleil-Waututh through open, transparent dialogue to discuss concerns of the project, although to date they have not agreed to engage.”

Just days after the Federal Court of Appeal’s decision, the NEB decided to extend Kinder Morgan’s hearing by seven months due to the company’s latest plan to drill through Burnaby Mountain.

Eugene Kung, staff lawyer at West Coast Environmental Law, said the most current delay in the process clearly shows the application was not complete.

“It really brings into question the procedural fairness issues that were raised as well in this case, in the federal court of appeal case,” said Kung.

Seal pup rescued at Mosquito Creek Marina Abandoned critter recovering at rescue centre BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

An infant harbour seal is convalescing at the Vancouver Aquarium’s Marine Mammal Rescue Centre, after being found abandoned by its mother in North Vancouver’s Mosquito Creek Marina.

Global News reporter and area resident Linda Aylesworth found the pup, with her umbilical cord still attached, alone on Tuesday morning after hearing it crying throughout the night, according to Linsdaye Akhurst, manager of the rescue centre.

“She was quite lethargic and quite thin so at that point we made a decision to rescue the animal and bring it to the centre,” Akhurst said.

The seal, only a few days old and now named Oxygen, has been showing progress quite quickly, Akhurst said “She’s only been with us close to 48 hours. She’s been settling in well in that time span but still is on a day-to-day basis,” she said. “Staff say she is pretty feisty to deal with.”

+]&8"] 8]P$(] &$<[[ W<e] P<Q]6 $W] &]<R ,", ECaY]P> DLE'E )%DDHK/0 VANCOUVER AQUARIUM

As the person who reported her, Aylesworth had the honour of naming Oxygen, in keeping with the centre’s 2014 theme of naming animals after the periodic table of elements.

For now, Oxygen is getting tube-fed a high-fat,

high-protein formula five times a day. In time, she’ll graduate to being handfed whole fish until she’s finally put into a tank with other recuperating pups with almost no human interaction where she’ll be socialized and learn to

compete for fish.

“At that point, they become almost independent teenagers.

They get to this phase where they want less and less to do with us and become quite independent, eating on their own,” Akhurst said.

Though harbour seals have a healthy local population, the aquarium seeks to mitigate damage done by interaction with humans. The centre takes in roughly 100 pups and other sea critters per year and nurses them back to health, all of it paid for by donations and revenues generated at the Vancouver Aquarium.

The average stay is two months.

Anyone can report a sea mammal in distress to the centre by calling 604-258SEAL (7325).

“If you do come across a seal that you feel is in need of rescuing, the best thing to do is stay back. The mom may still come back at that point. We try to keep people and specifically pets away — not only because they can become harmful to the seals but also to the dogs as well,” she said.

Putting the two species together brings a risk of transmitting viruses or bacteria that neither are accustomed to.

Augmenting the Ferry Building Gallery will either ensure the future of a historic treasure or turn a cozy heritage site into a blight on West Vancouver’s waterfront, depending on who you believe.

Council was scheduled to discuss plans to add a 3,200-square-foot addition to the gallery at a July 21 meeting. However, earlier this week staff postponed the presentation to “sometime this fall” to allow for more public consultation, according to Jeff McDonald, West Vancouver’s director of communications.

The expansion would add a single storey to the west of the relocated ferry building. The new space will allow for more exhibition space, storage, an outdoor sculpture garden, an expanded gift shop and a coffee bar. The design includes a deep setback that would allow for a large public terrace at Argyle Avenue and 14th Street.

The concept is an “ugly carbuncle” that fails to complement the Ferry Building’s architecture, according to Christine Ballantine. The waterfront serves as a gathering space for the community, she said.

“We’ve just got this thin ribbon of land and all the apartment dwellers, they rely on this waterfront land to have as their backyard,” she said.

There is no reason for the gallery to be on the waterfront, according to Ballantine.

The project is a need, not a frivolous want, according to Ruth Payne, visual arts co-ordinator with the gallery.

“We get 65,000 people a year through here. We have 740 square feet of gallery space, and that includes no storage for all gallery equipment,” Payne said.

The gallery’s easels and risers are stored in garages, according to Payne.

“It all has to be transported in, it gets bashed around, you have to repaint everything every See Upgrade page 9

Residents urged to clean barbecues From page 1 Road. Both calls were reported in the afternoon.

The third call was made shortly after midnight when a homeowner in the 1300block of Cammeray Road was awoken by the sound of a doorframe cracking, said Const. Jeff Palmer, spokesman for the West Vancouver police.

“The (homeowner) was storing food and other things in the garage,” said Palmer, which lead the bear to break into the side door.

“It broke the door out of its frame.”

Christine Miller, education co-ordinator for the North Shore Black Bear Society, said doors cannot be left open, especially if food is inside.

“I do lots of presentations to adults and I tell them that they need to invest in fans and leave windows open that are above ground level but not ground level doors and windows, particularly if there are bears in the area,” said Miller.

Conservation officers are urging North Shore residents to keep their garbage secured in a way that’s inaccessible to bears,

said Page.

“Especially during this time of year when bears are active, and that includes your garbage, birdfeeders, even pet food,” she said.

“Keep it in an area where the smell is reduced. If it’s in a garage, ensure the garage is securely locked.”

Miller also advises homeowners to keep their properties free of attractants, including thoroughly cleaning barbecues.

“A lot of people are barbecuing now; they need to turn it on high and scrub it with the wire brush when they’re finished,” she said, adding that grease catchers located underneath should be taken indoors as well.

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.

Code of conduct S

kateboarding has always been cool and carried with it a draw for wild, rebellious youth.

It’s an old trope but it probably rings a little bit true for the 70-year-old man who found himself the victim of what was essentially a hit-and-run this week.

According to North Vancouver RCMP, he suffered a broken wrist and forearm in four places after a skateboarder who lost control of his board while passing over a speed bump crashed into him. The skater offered a quick apology and skated away while the senior was left to wait for help.

This comes at a time when the skateboarding and longboarding communities are working hard to shore up their image and earn some legitimacy from the public and municipalities that are often keen to legislate them off the roads.

The teen made a mistake — he’s obviously still learning how to control his board — but he should never have compounded it by leaving the scene. Skateboarding organizers and sympathetic parents would be wise to let young riders know that if the group as a whole is to earn respect they, in turn, need to treat other users of the road with respect.

If you hit someone and injure them, the law of the land and, more importantly, the law of human decency, says that you stick around long enough to take responsibility for your actions and make sure that the injured party gets whatever care is needed.

We don’t believe in creating a moral panic over the incident. What happened here is part of growing up.

We just hope it comes with a lesson learned.

Grosvenor, town hall not on same clock Dr. Lautens believes he recognizes the symptoms in the unfortunate marital breakup of a certain mayor across the water from the North Shore.

Dr. Lautens, B.A., D.K.F.A.A.A., the last three letters standing for All About Anything, diagnoses the underlying malady as what the French call la crise de cinquante — the crisis on reaching, or just north or south of, age 50. (It is adjustable to la crise de quarante, commencing around 40.)

The patient under scrutiny enters his 50th year in September — a classic case.

Cutting through the medical/technical jargon, which I’d gladly explain if space allowed and readers could follow it, the afflicted typically has a successful career, an agreeable spouse, satisfactorily raised grown children, and some

prosperity. And — often abruptly, like a tropical disease — is struck by the haunting self-question: “Is that all there is?”

Yes, he — more often he than she, though neither sex is immune — suddenly hungers for a new life. In the painfully fashionable phrase, has an intense urge to reinvent himself. Gamble all he has for an entirely new him. And often for a

desirable new her.

Some time ago a woman I’ve met occasionally for 20-odd years fascinated me, only scientifically of course, though stunningly beautiful, when she confided that her marriage was over.

I delicately coaxed out her age. Fifty. La crise. I had suspected it.

The above, I fear, sounds facetious. But there is underlying sorrow of deepest nature, poignancy for the restlessness of the spirit and of the flesh. I may be a mere D.K.F.A.A.A. — but after decades of study, I know something of the human heart. And it is a terrible knowledge, for I too have been touched.

••• Well, which is it, then?

Who’s to be believed? One, the other, neither, or even both?

West Vancouver town hall and Grosvenor are strangely

at odds on when the police will leave their turf at 13th and Marine Drive, and when the monster global developer moves in and starts building its project of decidedly mixed popularity.

As stitched together in this space last month, using a process of ratiocination stolen from Sherlock Holmes, it would seem that the WV police could be grilling suspects on the site while Grosvenor simultaneously holds open houses for prospective buyers of its costly condos.

Problem, no?

Town hall, as Stefania Seccia reported in these pages, claims the present tenants, the cops, have until Dec. 31, 2017 to remove their rubber truncheons, shock devices and other instruments of torture (joke!). But when I asked Patti Glass, marketing director for Grosvenor

Americas, about its schedule, she stated: “Construction is expected to begin late 2014 or early 2015.”

Seriously sooner than on town hall’s schedule.

So I checked again. Glass confirmed: “The dates I gave you regarding Phase 1 are correct — we are targeting end of year construction commencement.” I noted a construction fence has already gone up on the west side of the block.

Glass explained: “The activity currently on site (former Handi restaurant) … is to make way for the presentation centre.”

The sure thing is that replacement of the cop shop, to be joined at the hip with a new firehall, is stuck at the design level, eight months to a year behind schedule, and chief administrative officer Nina Leemhuis conceded — as divulged here — that using WV’s recently acquired

Vancouver Coastal Health buildings is a temporary option. Disputed:Whether to include holding cells, or share North Vancouver’s RCMP cells.

WV Mayor Mike Smith and Leemhuis are soothing: No fear, plenty of time to make design changes in the $36-million project. A good start would be if town hall and Grosvenor co-ordinated their clocks.

••• A West Van widow donates $8 million (1998 dollars) for a theatre.

Grosvenor buys the name “Grosvenor Mainstage at the Kay Meek Centre” — 10 years of self-serving publicity for a measly $1 million.

The grovelling locals tug their forelocks in gratitude.

I vomit.

VIEWPOINT

Surrey mayoralty race most intriguing The looming Surrey mayoralty race is shaping up as a warmup exercise for the next federal election for a number of major political operatives in this province.

Already, a bunch of well-known backroom political organizers are getting involved in the various camps. And they have ties to both the federal Conservative and Liberal parties, and it appears some of them are working beside each other.

Linda Hepner, the would-be successor to Dianne Watts as Surrey First’s mayoral candidate, has veteran political strategist Pat Kinsella in her corner, but he’s got plenty of company. Communications pros Norm Stowe and Laura Ballance, along with veteran political organizers Stu Braddock and Prem Vinning, are also helping Hepner.

Barinder Rasode, the independent councillor who is expected to challenge Hepner, has veteran federal Liberal organizer Mark Marissen running her team.

But NDP stalwart Moe Sihota is there as well, and ex-B.C. Liberal pollster Dmitri Pantazopoulos (one of the few people to accurately predict the last provincial election) is assisting, as is Kareem Allam (Kevin Falcon’s deputy campaign manager in the last B.C. Liberal leadership race).

I’m not sure how Doug McCallum, the former mayor trying to get his

Keith Baldrey

View from the Ledge old job back, will fare in landing the same number of experienced hands.

I suppose one reason all these political pros are flocking to Surrey (aside from personal ties and loyalties) is that it may be the only intriguing

mayoralty race in all of Metro Vancouver. In 2011, almost all incumbent mayors were re-elected, and I suspect the same thing will happen this fall.

There seems little reason to think Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart or Delta Mayor Lois Jackson are vulnerable to a strong challenge (unless any of them decide against running again).

The wild card, of course, is Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, who has been making news (for all the wrong reasons) these days.

No “star” candidate has emerged to take him on,

although former Vancouver Sun editor Kirk Lapointe recently announced his mayoral candidacy for the ironically named NonPartisan Association.

Robertson will likely not face a credible challenge from the left, as the COPE party has been captured by fringe elements who like to shout slogans at each other.

But if the NPA can get its act together, there’s no reason to think the party can’t take a run at the sitting mayor.

ABORIGINAL TITLE STORM APPROACHES Well, that didn’t take long. Last week, I wrote that, while the Supreme Court of Canada decision granting aboriginal title

“Exclusivity can be established by proof that others were excluded from the land or by proof that others were only allowed access to the land with the permission of the claimant group,” the court wrote in the decision.

One would think the wording applies to the situation that was there “historically,” or before contact with European settlers who ultimately occupied the land. However, the Gitxsan appear to take the novel approach that excluding people from the land it claims title to must take place right now, in

didn’t mean the sky was falling, there would certainly be stormy times ahead.

And now one particular storm has appeared on the horizon, and it looks foreboding.

The Gitxsan First Nations in northwest B.C. has issued “eviction” notices to CN Rail, forest industries and sports fisheries to vacate the land and cease all activities by Aug. 4, unless they receive the consent of the band’s hereditary chiefs to be there.

The band has seized upon a section of that court decision that sets out conditions that must be met for First Nations to establish aboriginal title. One of those tests is that a band must prove it had “exclusive

Upgrade would expand exhibit space From page 3

merchants, according to Ballantine.

“The little coffee shops along Marine Drive now are struggling enough,” she said.

If approved by council, the project would introduce ground floor bathrooms, which would replace the gallery’s single upstairs bathroom, which is inaccessible to people with disabilities, said Payne.

The restoration of one of West Vancouver’s “key cultural venues” is meant to address dry-rot, window deterioration and floodproofing — which will be

time,” she said.

The upgrade would constitute “adequate space” for exhibitions, according to Payne, who explained she regularly turns away 20 art appreciators at the door.

“We’re not proposing a bigger space so that more people can come. The people are already here,” Payne said.

The larger gift shop might generate more money for the gallery, but another coffee shop could be a burden to area

accomplished by raising the structure three feet — according to a statement from the district.

Ballantine remained unconvinced by the floodproofing plan.

“If we have another storm surge or a tsunami or an earthquake, that lot’s going to be underwater,” Ballantine said.

The current option was selected from five plans to enhance the Ferry Building, a process that struck Ballantine as undemocratic.

“We’re given five choices but not one choice to say no,” she said.

The upgrade will be a boon to the community, according to Payne.

“We have such a wealth of artistic talent here and also such a culturally minded community that enjoys and values the arts, that we need it,” she said.

“I feel we owe it to the next seven generations.”

Before it was a gallery, the building provided the terminus for a ferry service from 1913 to 1947. The structure was eventually moved farther from the shoreline in 1989 and turned into an art gallery.

North Vancouver RCMP are hoping the teen who crashed his skateboard into a senior Monday night steps forward to take some responsibility.

The 70-year-old man was crossing an alley in the 100-block of West 15th Street around 9 p.m. when the skater lost control on a speed bump and knocked him to the ground, breaking his wrist and forearm in four places.

The skater offered a “trite” apology and then fled, according to police. “(The victim) was in the hospital’s (ER) all night and I’m told he was in a lot of pain,” said Cpl. Richard De Jong, North Vancouver RCMP spokesman.

Police describe the skater as roughly 16 years old, five foot eight, wearing

a red shirt, white shorts and red helmet.

The victim declined numerous requests to be interviewed by Lower Mainland media but De Jong said he does have a message for the teen.

“Wherever he is, he wishes (the skater) would have stuck around, done the right thing and at least offered some support. It’s bad behaviour, is what he says,” De Jong said.

There are no criminal charges that would apply to the young man but De Jong said someone in that position could face bylaw infraction tickets for skating without due care and attention, which carries with it a $45 fine.

Though police are asking for more witnesses to come forward and would like to hear from anyone who can offer a tip based on the suspect’s description, there is one sure way to resolve the matter, De Jong said.

“The person knows himself. Hopefully he’ll come forward and have a chat with us,” De Jong said.

INQUIRING REPORTER The recent heat wave that hit Metro Vancouver was a nice change of pace compared to summers past. West Vancouver may have beaten a record with a day this past week hitting 32 C, according to Environment Canada.

Across the region, there were multiple heat warnings reminding people not to leave pets, children, or themselves in cars without proper ventilation. So when the sun is beating down and there’s nowhere to run from the heat, what do you do to keep cool? Tell us your thoughts at nsnews.com. ( %)&#'!"' %&$$"'

How do you keep cool during a heat wave?

Gitxsan ruling creates uncertainty for investors From page 7 order to meet one of the tests to establish title to the land.

I don’t know where this is headed, but it seems things can get ugly — particularly if the Gitxsan tries to forcibly evict or blockade one of the parties it is trying to “exclude” from the land they are laying claim to.

Presumably, a court will weigh in on this matter. But this is a prime example of a situation that can cause potential investors to pull back from

putting money into B.C.’s economy, because of the uncertainty of just how extensive First Nations’ powers ultimately are in this province.

The Gitxsan will undoubtedly not be the last First Nations band to try to exercise more control of the land they are claiming title to, before that title is actually proven.

Tift Merritt set for Folk Fest showcase tonight

Country soul ■ Tift Merritt performs on the Main Stage at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, tonight, 6:20 p.m. For more info go to thefestival.bc.ca.

STEFANIA SECCIA sseccia@nsnews.com

When she’s been called “a diamond in a coal patch” by her heroine Emmylou Harris, there isn’t much left to do but agree with the earthy and sultry voice of Tift Merritt.

Hailing from North Carolina, she’s been on the Americana map since her debut album broke in 2002, and the travelling singer/ songwriter will be performing at the Vancouver Folk Festival on Friday.

Merritt has been referred to as “the bearer of a proud tradition of distaff country soul that reaches back to artists like Dusty Springfield and Bobbie Gentry,” by the New Yorker when it reviewed her 2002 solo debut, Bramble Rose.

“I think you just try to open yourself to the musical moment,” Merritt said about

SOSTENUTO AT THE SILK PURSE D3N/ 9\

performing. “You try not to force it. But you also try to make sure that there’s a little bit of adrenaline so that you can have the energy to emphasize it, as well.”

Since finding her path in music, Merritt has released five albums. Her latest, Traveling Alone, was produced by Tucker Martine, who’s worked with the Decemberists, and mixed by threetime Grammy award winner Ryan Freeland.

But don’t ask Merritt to describe her sound expecting to hear what genre she is, because “these days they just don’t really mean a lot,” she said.

“I certainly think that what I make is music that’s earthy and natural and open,” Merritt added. “But hopefully, sort of pushed into something beyond just being satisfied as being too pretty.You want it potent.”

After she makes it to the folk festival at Jericho Beach Park, the North Carolina native will head to one more show in Canada, which is in Edmonton, before making her way back to a summer filled with performances dotted across the United States.

●

OH MY DARLING D3N/ 9X

●

Despite the whirlwind of touring from the last couple of months, and into the next few, Merritt said singing, writing and performing are among her greatest passions in life.

“You know, I think it’s like any creative moment where you really bring the summation of your thoughts and experiences, and you bring it all to the table and throw everything aside and bring it all with you at the same moment,” she said.

Where does her inspiration come from? It derives from a mixture of putting pen to paper, over and over again, according to Merritt.

“I think people talk about inspiration in very trivial ways sometimes, as if it’s something you can keep in your pantry,” she said. “The whole thing about inspiration is it has to be something that actually is ripe and not forced. I think you just come to your blank paper again and again, and try your best and genuinely reach something.”

In search of a name for their duo, violinist Serena Eades and pianist and accordionist Anna Lumière settled on Sostenuto, the Italian musical term for “sustained,” viewing it as a double-entendre of sorts, a nod to their style of playing; in addition, speaking to the low-impact manner in which they choose to live their lives.

On Thursday, July 24, Sostenuto will bring their unique sound and perspective to West Vancouver’s Silk Purse Arts Centre, part of the West Vancouver Community Arts Council’s 14th annual Jazz Waves Festival, running from June through to the end of August.The festival boasts a diverse program of artists, reflecting variety of musical genres.

Sostenuto’s performance will mark the duo’s first since the launch of their debut album, Pièces, as well, will kick off their summer tour, seeing them traverse the West Coast via bicycle — Eades’ violin in a sidebag, and Lumière’s accordion in an attached cycling trailer.

Band builds on diverse influences Winnipeg’s Oh My Darling visit folk fest for the first time ■ Oh My Darling performs on Stage 5 at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, Saturday, July 19, 6:40 p.m. For more info go to thefestival.bc.ca.

ANNE WATSON awatson@nsnews.com

Classic Country, Appalachian Old Time, Kentucky bluegrass and Francophone Métis, are all traditional influences of the quartet Oh My Darling, but there may be more lingering within their eclectic music.

“The rest of them I’m going to let the audience decide because there’s an uncategorized sound that we have that sort of makes it its own I think,” says Vanessa Kuzina, guitarist.

The band, including Kuzina, Allison De Groot, Hannah Read and Natalie Bohrn, is bringing their signature style to the Vancouver Folk Music Festival from July 18 to 20 at Jericho Beach Park, weaving together the sounds of guitar, claw-hammer banjo, which is a particular style of strumming used in American old-time music, fiddle and upright bass, respectively. Bohrn is filling in for the band’s regular upright bass player, Marie-Josée Dandeneau for the festival.The band also works regularly with fiddler Rachel Baiman.

“It’s funny we kind of joke about all of our different musical influences and how it’s kind of surprising in some ways that we came together and formed a band,” says Kuzina. “And it did take us a little while to find that balance See Francophone page 17

MUSIC

Francophone support inspires the quartet From page 16 between everybody’s inspirations and to make something, a sound that we all really loved and that made sense and that’s really resonated with each of us as well as our fan base.”

The band, whose name originates from the American western folk ballad, ‘Oh My Darling, Clementine,’—“we wanted a name that spoke to our genre and influenced as well as being female without saying ‘the something girls or ladies or sisters,’ ” says Kuzina — found their writing groove starting on their previous album, released in 2011.

“The writing on the Sweet Nostalgia album was one that happened,” says Kuzina. “It was like we found this balance between our love of old time and traditional music, as well as our keen interests and love for writing new material.

So that’s sort of when that happened.”

Kuzina says that although she started off as the main songwriter, the band has evolved over the years and now everyone writes, “which is a really great thing for the group.”

Oh My Darling’s most recent album, Venez Danser, released in 2012, was done completely in French, expanding on the band’s previous French material.

“We always had some French material in our repertoire from our very first show,” says Kuzina, of their performance at Festival du Voyageur, a local winter festival in Winnipeg that celebrates both the Francophone and Métis cultures. “So there’s always been an audience for us for that and then we also found that there was a lot of traditional music in French that really just blended so beautifully with the other sounds that we love, so like traditional Cajun and Acadian sounds all of a sudden kind of worked with everything we were doing.”

But the band’s main inspiration for an allFrench album was their Francophone fan base, she says.

“We wanted to give something back to them for all of the support that we’ve had from our French community in Winnipeg as

EW GC 0<(RVPY4& <R:"Q ?)>), 4B>%)' c<& (]R]<&]6 VP 7;972 well as across Canada and even overseas in France, so it’s been wonderful.”

Kuzina says some of the music on the album is traditional while some of it is original and the response they have received has been great, despite some hurdles.

“Quebec is kind of notoriously a difficult market to crack into, particularly being French from outside of Quebec, for some reason, is a difficult thing.There’s a really strong culture there and strong musical culture there, so it takes a little while for people to warm up to what’s happening elsewhere, which is okay it just means that we had to try a little harder,” says Kuzina laughing. “So we spent a little more time in Quebec and got to know some great players there and learn some of the traditional Quebecois music as well.

And then in France it was the same sort of thing, they really found it intriguing the dialect that we speak from Manitoba and the accent that we have from Manitoba and the stories that we have, the French stories. It’s been a really nice way to share that tradition.”

Despite having a fan base that ranges from Winnipeg to France, performing at the Canada Day celebrations at Trafalgar Square in London, England and opening for acts such as Blue Rodeo and Tegan and Sara, the band remains humble.

“I feel like we have a lot to be grateful for and the experiences we’ve had have surpassed our wildest dreams in a lot of ways,” says Kuzina. “I think there’s no reason to not be humble for what we have, it’s a really beautiful thing to be able to play music and have people come and share that with you. I really think its that interaction with the people

that makes it just the best thing ever.”

Connecting with the audience and sharing their music with people is also the best part of performing, says Kuzina.

“It makes me emotional even just to talk about it. Sometimes we get the opportunity to talk with people afterwards and they’ll share a story with you on how a song or your performance affected them and sometimes you just get to feel that vibe from them,” she says. “I would say that’s my favorite part of performing is that interaction that you get with other people.”

The band is looking forward to playing at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, says Kuzina, a venue they have never played before but have only heard great things about.

Every venue for them has been very different from the next, she says, whether it’s a little bar in small town Alberta or Trafalgar Square.

But music festivals have their own unique quality that seems to resonate with the band.

“The festivals in particular all have their own charm to them. I think it differs in a way that there’s of course the natural element to it that you’re outside, you’re not only interacting with the people and with each other onstage, but also with the elements that are around you and kind of that vibe that you get,” says Kuzina.

“Everybody’s so happy at festivals and so are all the performers, so it’s a really joyful experience to play festivals. I think Vancouver will be a good example of that.”

The band is also playing at the Summer Kick Festival in Golden, B.C. on Aug. 13, as well as the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival, Aug. 15 and 17. After that, Kuzina says the band is “going to take a bit of a breather.”

“Allison is studying at the Berklee College of Music, so she’ll be back at school in Boston in the fall,” she says. “And we all have other little projects and things on the go too so I think we’re going to take a little breather, do some writing and see what unfolds after that.”

play guitar, she said she never expected to make a career of music. She started a band in college and just kept getting gigs.

“A lot of players aren’t very fortunate,” she notes. “I think it’s really important there’s some decision you have to make by heart, and not by guile or planning.”

The decision to see Merritt perform is an easy one, as she’s one of the main acts on the Friday night Vancouver Folk Music Festival’s multiple stages. The 37th annual fest features more than 60 folk, world and roots music artists from around the world.

“Our 37th festival promises an extraordinary musical experience for folks of every age and background,” says Linda Tanaka, the festival’s artistic director.

“There are almost too many genres, styles,

and streams of folk, world and roots music to name.

“Some music has ancient roots, and some will be played and sung for the first time on our stages.”

Artists include Andrew Bird and the Hands of Glory, The Como Mamas and Amos Lee, among many others, over the three-day festival from July 18 to 20.

As for Merritt, she’s excited for her third show in Vancouver — she said she’s looking forward to the people, beautiful scenery and “really, really good sushi.”

Catch her and her fellow sojourners, ranging from Patty Griffin to Nick Hornby, on her public radio broadcast and podcast, The Spark with Tift Merritt.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to FASHION & STYLE

Jewelry makes a statement

Dear Mattie: How should I be accessorizing my outfits?

Ready to Accessorize in Pemberton

Dear Pemberton: This season, accessories steal the show. There are many fashion trends that are bold and jewelry is at the front of this trend.

Accessories are statement pieces.

The necklace is big and bold.

It looks like a bib, in that it lies close around your neck and is adorned by large pieces that hang down in a V-shape towards your chest.

Gold is the metal this season.

Stones are the adornment and are large with colour. Stones are angular and rounded shapes.

Faux oversized pearls are making a comeback. There must be many sizes of faux pearls with many strings twisted together.

Coral and turquoise are not only popular, they also look great against all skin tones and hair colours. Gold, coral and turquoise should be your go-to pieces.

Necklaces also have another bold look. Gold link chains are very popular. The links are thin and thick with many in various lengths. Some have charms hanging like a medallion with an intricate design. Others have stones woven into the chain throughout the necklace. They can all be worn together as the dense look of dripping chains is in fashion. Don’t forget the tassel.

Bracelets can match or contrast the necklace. They can also stand alone. There should be a significant weight and physical appearance on your wrist. It can be one large cuff that has a modern shape, almost looking like a piece of art. It can be a cluster of chains stacked with beaded and leather bracelets.

The chain can also be a twisted cable look. This particular style of intertwined bracelets allows you to incorporate last season’s pieces.

ANNIVERSARY The Village at Park Royal will celebrate its 10-year anniversary this summer beginning July 19 and culminating in a free concert for the community with musical artists Dear Rouge on Sept 6. The anniversary celebration will be highlighted throughout the summer with free live entertainment, complimentary pedi-cab rides, retailer promotions, a social media contest and more. To see complete event listings visit shopparkroyal.com

The ring can be your trendiest piece.You can opt for a piece that matches your necklace and/or your bracelet and still be in fashion.

If you want to make a trendy statement, one of the looks to go for is rings that fit halfway up your finger. There is also the double-decker ring, which is one ring that looks like two rings on one finger attached with a stem.

Stacked rings are in fashion, just like the bracelets. Most of the rings are in a skinny gold metal to complement the stacks.

It is in fashion to wear many rings at one time on most of your fingers. The texture of the metal is different, so as the look is not the same ring stacked repeatedly. The look is not bulky, it is overwhelming yet dainty. Earrings also can match your other pieces to enhance that look. A chandelier style with chunky stones works best.

The earrings can be your edgiest statement.

The trendiest aspect of earrings this season is the many piercings with a different style of earring on each pierce. Studs and chains are not worn in pairs. It is in fashion for one side to not match the other.

When I look at accessories this season, I see a chunky sophisticated look in addition to a music festival artsy look. Try to stick to one look as wearing lots of jewelry is trendy, but mixing and matching these two looks is not.

Duo recorded debut in Boston From page 14 pedal-powered tour.

“I think touring can be one of the heaviest impacters in ecology just because musicians do so much flying and so much driving and so that’s No. 1, we wanted to tread more lightly,” says Eades, adding doing so also makes good economical sense and allows them to stay active while on the road, contributing to their overall health and well-being.

Eades, who recently moved back to Vancouver, is excited to be hitting the road, having spent the last two years in the classroom, completing a two-year degree at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Mass., in May. “It’s great. It feels like that is why I holed up for two more years.We both spent a lot of time in music school. I had taken six years off from school to do life, and teach and travel and play. It’s a good contrast to go back to school, be a student, be in a classroom a lot. Now I feel like two years is a perfect amount of time to release me back into the world.”

The experience had a huge impact on her.

“I went to Berklee largely because I wanted to explore improvisation in a variety of realms,” she says.

Eades did study some American roots music — some bluegrass and old time music — but primarily took jazz lessons in her private studies and played a lot of Brazilian music outside of school due to the strong local scene in Boston.

“It was a combination of the faculty that I was exposed to and the music community at large in Boston that had a huge impact on where I am now and where I want to go. It opened me up to other ways of playing and ways of thinking about music and ways of thinking about improvising that I hadn’t conceived of before,” she says.

She’s pleased to be bringing her new perspective back to Sostenuto, officially launched three years ago after being formed initially as a four-piece under a different name.

Eades (a founding member of The Rakish Angles), met Lumière (Mimosa) who studied jazz performance at Capilano University and is currently based in Gibson’s, after she was asked to teach Lumière’s son violin lessons.

Further getting to know one another through the local music scene, they started playing together.

“I was very honoured that she asked me to play with her,” says Eades.

Sostenuto’s debut album, Pièces is comprised of six original pieces written by its two members.

They describe the instrumental pieces as cinematic, world music-inspired contemporary compositions.

Examples of songs featured include a Brazilian choro, a French musette and a ragtime swing tune. They recorded the record in March at Boston’s Rapid Eye studio and were joined by a number of guests, including percussionist Marcus Santos, cellist Naseem Alatrash, and bassists Nate Sabat and Flavio Lira.

“I’m glad to finally have something to take to shows that people can take away with them. We’re both really happy with the result and we got some really wonderful friends and guest musicians to play on it. There’s some music we’ve never performed on it so that’s kind of exciting as well. There are brand new songs that we composed and arranged just prior to the album so we haven’t toured them yet,” says Eades.

Apart from touring and promoting Pièces, the duo members are also offering master classes and workshops to interested musicians.

FILM

Snowpiercer one wild ride ■ Snowpiercer. Directed

by Bong Joon-ho.

Starring Chris Evans.

Rating: 8 (out of 10) JULIE CRAWFORD ContributingWriter

Surely the strangest action thriller of 2014 is Snowpiercer, a wild and woolly carnival ride of a film that is part apocalypto-horror, part clownish prophecy about the dangers of climate change, among other scary things.

It’s the first Englishlanguage film from director Bong Joon-ho (Mother, The Host), who wrote the screenplay based on a French graphic novel.

It’s 2031, 17 years after a solution to global warming turned out to be just the opposite, obliterating all life on earth and dropping us into a deep freeze. All that’s left of humankind is aboard a train, a “rattling ark” that 0V(]8$-( 2-PY J--P?W-4& O(&$ /PYRV&W?R<PY"<Y] ORQ@ G>+E*")'<)'@ V& :<&]6 -P $W] .(]P8W Y(<,WV8 P-e]R ;) circumnavigates the globe in D'B>%*)'<)>)"&)> G<B> "AB&) E"#$ #$) ;B-B' B** #+ H")E #'B"C)'2 DLE'E )%DDHK/0 a route that takes precisely one year, built by a mad genius named Wilfred. with plans to go all the way to the front. matronly suits, and over-the-topYorkshire brogue.

takes place in train-tunnel darkness.

At times, especially in the long-perspective shots, it’s very Kubrick, down to the music playing in the sauna car (Al Bowlly’s 1930s ditty “Midnight, the Stars, and You”). It’s cheeky: Cream’s “Strange Brew” plays in the food car when Curtis finds out what’s really in those gelatinous protein bricks they’ve been eating.

And Hurt’s character name is surely a nod to Terry Gilliam, whose stamp can be seen in the labyrinthine chaos of the underdogs’ car.

The action finally slows down for some true confessionals and unsubtle rumination on the inhumanity of man with Ed Harris.That’s OK, though.

The story is remarkably varied, considering the finite possibilities offered by a frozen-shut moving train. Snowpiercer is a varied, vibrant spectacle and it’s one wild ride.

2014 Cadillac XTS

Caddy’s new classic

In recent years, Cadillac has been attempting to reach the younger generation of buyers with renewed design, styling and character.

First, Cadillac released its ATS, a compact luxury sedan targeted squarely at BMW 3 Series customers.

While it may be too early to declare it a success, it certainly has grabbed a lot of attention with a true European feel and design.

At the other end of their range, Cadillac unveiled a new flagship last year — the XTS.

David Chao

Behind the Wheel The Cadillac XTS brings with it a nice balance of bold exterior styling, a

refined cabin and modern technology while providing an important position within Cadillac as the flagship sedan.

For 2014, Cadillac adds an optional twinturbocharged V-6 engine, electric power steering in front-wheel drive models and automatic parking assist, to name some of the enhancements.

Premium and Platinum Collections receive a host of new standard equipment including IntelliBeam automatic headlights, Adaptive Forward Lighting

and illuminating door handles.

Design The XTS replaced the larger DTS and smaller STS at the same time, and it now bridges the gap between midsize and full-size luxury sedans as a result.The XTS is still a fairly large sedan, however, as it is a little longer than a BMW 7 Series, though not quite as wide.

The cabin of the XTS is the most spacious of See Twin page 42

This month, the British Columbia government raised speed limits across the province on rural highways.

Most of the changes were a bump of about 10 kilometres per hour, including portions of the Sea-to-Sky now set at 90 km/h, and some parts of the Coquihalla now at 120 km/ h. Immediately, everybody started driving at the speed they were driving at anyway.

Despite protests from police groups and some environmental groups over the potential impact on safety and pollution, the change is a welcome one.

The thing is, it’s not really a change in speed on our roads, it’s just a change of the numbers on those funny little signs you see on the side of the road.

What? That’s how fast we’re supposed be going? Oops.

Twin turbo pushes horsepower past 400 From page 39 any Cadillac sedan. It was designed to provide maximum roominess in a more efficient package without compromising the basic layout and functionality.

Continuing Cadillac’s angular, wedge-like design, the XTS looks similar to its smaller siblings, though it has enhanced edges and creases that give it a more flowing look and feel.

Platinum models come with 20-inch wheels for an even more dramatic look.

All but the base XTS model comes with dual exhaust outlets giving it a little sporty flair.

Models with the new turbo engine have a unique “twin-turbo” grille and deck lid identification.

Overall, the XTS is a great looking sedan that has elements of both American and Japanese luxury car design cues.

Performance The XTS comes standard with a 3.6-litre V-6 that is rated at 304 horsepower and 264 footpounds of torque. Cadillac used lightweight materials to reduce overall weight for better fuel efficiency and a more favourable front-torear weight balance.

The exciting new twin-turbo 3.6-litre V-6 produces 410 h.p. and 369 foot-pounds of torque, which outperforms many competitors. Cadillac claims this rating makes it one of the most powerdense six-cylinder engines in this segment.

The two small turbos team up with an efficient charge air cooler to help create more immediate power delivery, while sustaining peak torque over

a broader range.This results in more confidence while accelerating or overtaking traffic on the highway.

Regardless of which engine you choose, it will be mated to a six-speed transmission with tap-shift control.

A stiffer body structure — combined with Cadillac’s Magnetic Ride Control — makes it possible to deliver precise body motion control.This makes the XTS especially comfortable cruising over long commutes and it remains composed when the road gets bumpy.

To pamper occupants further, the cabin is well insulated, making road and engine noise nearly undetectable.

Electric, variable-assist power steering is used in all front-wheel drive models to enhance efficiency by only drawing energy when the wheels are being turned.

Meanwhile, all-wheel drive models feature a precise and responsive hydraulically assisted steering system.

The feel of the car is agile and planted — in a manner that may surprise Mercedes and BMW owners. It is remarkable how far Cadillac has come in terms of creating a See Caddy’s page 43

world-class vehicle with the right kind of driving characteristics. Don’t get me wrong, the car still feels soft in comparison to, say, an Audi A6, but the silky ride feel is appreciated in highway driving.

Environment Inside the XTS, the cabin is elegant and well put-together, with standard leather-trimmed seats, leather wrapped interior panels, and premium wood trims on Platinum Collection models.

Heated and ventilated seats highlight an extensive list of premium standard features.

The rear seats offer good legroom overall and reasonably comfortable seating for three.The available Rear Seat Entertainment package featuring a dual-screen DVD system is an impressive unit that should keep rear passengers occupied during long trips.

The classy looking standard eight-inch touchscreen uses Cadillac’s CUE infotainment system. CUE boasts capacitive-touch control with proximity sensing, haptic feedback, gesture recognition, and enhanced voice recognition. However, it does require some practice to use its fullest capabilities, and the feeling is a bit awkward — I think the haptic feel is unnecessary.

The Premium and Platinum models use a 12.3-inch reconfigurable instrument cluster that has four driver-selectable themes ranging from minimal to extensive information.

The XTS has an advantage over both midsize and full-size rivals when it comes to trunk space.

Cadillac reckons that its 18-cubic-foot capacity will easily accommodate five full suitcases.

Features The 2014 Cadillac XTS has a starting price of $49,440, which is reasonable considering its standard features.

Standard equipment includes keyless entry, remote start, dual-zone climate control, heated exterior mirrors, autodimming rearview mirror, LED taillights, Bluetooth and OnStar.

Additional features, available as options or on higher trims, include navigation, 14-speaker surround sound, threezone climate control,

TODAY’S DRIVE

Highway limits should include an ‘-ish’

From page 39

Simpson famously observed, are just a suggestion — like pants. At least that’s the way most North Americans seem to view them, with the average speed travelled on the road routinely exceeding the posted limit.

Routinely — that’s the word to focus on. Rather than the limit being an absolute ceiling that no one would trespass over, it’s become the baseline speed which drivers seldom drift below. It’s almost a lower limit, rather than an upper one.

Moving the speed limit up, you might imagine, would just cause everyone to drive 10 km/h faster than they did before, but the evidence indicates that simply doesn’t happen.

B.C. has raised speed limits before, on the Shuswap corridor, and average speeds did not change one whit.

Collisions were actually reduced over the time period, even though traffic increased.

People tend to drive at a speed that they feel reasonable and prudent for the road conditions dependent on the time, the weather, and the traffic level.

The same person will drive more slowly on a crowded rainy afternoon on the Upper Levels Highway than they will on a bright and sunny morning with nobody else on the road. Of course they would — that just makes sense.

Traffic, it turns out, has a natural flow, and while we need guidance when approaching a tight corner or an area with cross-traffic, drivers tend to travel at the speed everyone else does.

It’s the old George Carlin line: everyone who drives faster than you is a maniac, everyone who drives slower is an idiot.

Thus, setting speed limits below what people ordinarily travel makes maniacs of us all. It’s especially frustrating when a speed trap crops up in an area where everybody is travelling faster than the limit every single day — which little fish is going to get picked off? Who gets culled from the herd?

For instance, last week there was a speed trap set up under the Lonsdale overpass, facing Westbound.

On Monday, I followed an unmarked police Tahoe on the same route, and as I slowed to something approaching the speed limit, they continued on at a rate

that would have fetched a ticket costing several hundred dollars and points on your license.Were they driving dangerously? No: it was the speed everybody else was doing. It could be argued that it was me, dawdling in the slow lane, that was causing the hazard by creating a variance in traffic speeds.

Frustrating?You bet — I may have bitten a chunk out of my steering wheel.

Happily, the raised speed limits also reduce somewhat the further frustration of our 40 km/h excessive speeding law.While the principle is relatively sound — surely anyone travelling that much over the flow of traffic is at super-maniac status — it makes passing an outright hassle.

Travelling back from Calgary a while ago, I was stuck behind a slow-moving RV on a winding part of the Trans-Canada. As the brief passing lane opened up, the flow of traffic (and the RV) sped up — they always do, don’t they? Getting around him took a lot of oomph.

If there’d been a sudden speed trap, I might have got a ticket, but the guy in the minivan behind me might have had to walk home with his car on a flatbed. Behind us, the RV again slowed to sub-limit speeds as the bends came up.That extra 10 km/h cushion would help.

I’d say that if speed limits were correctly set, 90 per cent of people wouldn’t even think of brushing their brake pedal if they saw an officer with a radar gun on the side of the road.Too-low limits create an us-and-them cat-and-mouse game with the highway patrol, which shouldn’t be the point. Do we need patrols to catch those who would double the limit using the road as their own personal racetrack?

Absolutely, but those folks are going to be out there breaking the law by 50 or 100 km/h regardless, and they’re going to do it whatever the limit is set at, high or low.

If I’d my druthers, I’d alter every single highway speed sign in B.C. to read “-ish” as in, “100 km/h-ish”.

The speeding ticket would be outlawed, and there would be no more speed traps.

Ah, but there’s a second part of this plan. Officers of the law would receive special training allowing them to issue tickets for being a jackass.Travelling 120 km/h up the Sea-to-Sky at

6 a.m. on a perfect summer Sunday in a car with good brakes and tires? Not being a jackass. Going 100 km/h on the Upper Levels in a monsoon on three bald tires and a donut spare? License and registration, please.

Using your cellphone

while driving would earn you double jackass points, and drinking and driving would receive a punishment slightly more strict. Like being fired out of a catapult from the top of Grouse.

Earn enough jackass points, and you’d be

required to affix a large paper-mâché donkey to the roof of your Audi. Oh, and I’d bring back the pillory too, and replace ticketbased revenue-generation by selling rotten cabbages to throw. It’d be a grand day out — bring the kids!

A lovely thought, but enough of the flights of fancy.The increase in speed

limits for B.C. is a step in the right direction for most motorists. It’ll create slightly safer roads, let people drive at a reasonable rate of speed without feeling like a criminal and allow us to all get where we’re going safely. If that isn’t the point of having rules for the road, I don’t know what is. mcaleeronwheels@gmail.com

Thumbs up The XTS offers a comfortable driving experience and plenty of standard features while undercutting most of its European and Japanese rivals.

Thumbs down While the ride is smooth, it is far from engaging. Also, the CUE system is complex and not overly intuitive.

The bottom line The 2014 XTS is a comfortable, mature fullsize sedan with Cadillac’s classic presence and prestige in a contemporary design.

Competitors BMW 5 Series The 5 Series has been in continuous production for several decades now, and each subsequent generation has improved on the latter.The 5 Series is the benchmark in this

segment because of its ability to offer high levels of comfort, performance and practicality.

Being the best comes at a price, and while a base 5 Series starts at $54,600, outfitting one quickly raises the bar.

Lexus GS It wasn’t that long ago that Lexus was criticized for being stale. Not anymore with the brand’s restyling.

The GS has an edgier appearance and more luxury inside, while the reengineering makes the car more economical and more fun to drive.

A base model GS begins at $52,200.

Chrysler 300 The Chrysler 300 is the epitome of an American Car; big, rear-wheel drive with lots of power, comfort and style.The 300 boasts copious amounts of rear seat room, but surprisingly, trunk space is relatively small.

The 300 is available in a variety of flavours with the base model starting at $34,595. editor@automotivepress.com
