Teachers in North andWestVancouver will take part in aprovince-wide strike vote thatcould give approval for a full-scale strike starting June 16.

The teachers unionannounced the move following adecision by the Labour RelationsBoardWednesday upholdingschool boards abilities toconduct a partial lockout and cutteachers pay by 10 per cent.

Education Minister PeterFassbender saidThursdayprovincial exams will stillgo ahead and students willstill receive their nal marks,regardless of any strike. He

didnt provide any details on howthat would happen.

Rob Millard, president oftheWestVancouverTeachersAssociation, said he expectsteachers will be prepared to walkout June 16.Teachers are angryabout the speed with whichschool boards moved to docktheir pay.

The prospect of a full-scalestrike has raised questions abouthow exams would be conductedand marked. It has also calledsome extracurricular activitieslike graduation ceremonies intoquestion.

NorthVancouver parentRandy Hutniak said an honourroll ceremony for students athis daughters high school hasalready been cancelled andsports events arent happeningunder the terms of the lockout,which restricts teachers presenceat school to 45 minutes afterclasses end.

Veteran recalls Alliedinvasion ofNormandySTEFANIA SECCIAContributing writer

After nally overcomingdelays, the Allied forceswere ready to launchwhat would go downas the largest seaborneinvasion in history onJune 6, 1944.

The Canadian troopslanded on the sands of thecode-named Juno Beach inNazi-occupied Normandy,France. Facing staunchresistance from the Naziforces, the Allies claimeda decisive victory inwhich 359 died, 574 werewounded and 47 soldierswere captured.

Fewer voices are aroundto tell the tale of fracturedmortar shells, bullets andcorpses that blanketed thebeaches on D-Day.

NorthVancouverresident Frank Zantoas isone of the roughly 90,000SecondWorldWar veteransleft of the million whoserved in Canadas ArmedForces.

Zantoas, 90, says he stillremembers D-Day like ithappened yesterday andnot 70 years ago.

It was quite a day, hesaid. Its something youjust cant imagine, the waythings happened, beingsuch a small part of it.

Zantoas recalls feelingexcited and worried aboutapproaching the shoreat the break of dawn onD-Day, but he didnthave time to feel sorry forhimself because the task

at hand overwhelmed hissenses.

All around, therewas combat, he said.It was deafening. Andthe Germans with themortar shells, they madethis terrible noise day andnight. And then these ashbombs would light upwhole areas like youre indowntown NewYork.

Zantoas enlisted in theCanadian military at 19in 1942. He served in theProvost Corps, which isthe military police corps.His duties included trafccontrol and directing tankswhile riding along withthem on his motorcycle. Ofhis unit, Zantoas is the onlyone living.

Im kind of glad itsover, he added, aboutserving in the war. I (miss)the comradeship you gothrough, especially whenyou were there, everyone

was a part of it.Were allgetting bombed. But Iremember the childrengetting taken out of theirhomes and moved places.It was quite sad, really.

As Zantoass job wasto keep the roads clear fortanks and infantry, he alsoremembers having to movecivilians off the road.

It was too bad for thefamilies, he added. Wecouldnt have them onthe roads with horses andwagons, with the tanks.Wehad to kick them off. Herethey were, they had noplace to go. It was alwayslate to get help for thosepeople.

While the veteransmemories are inundatedwith the horrors of war,Zantoas said he focuses onthe good times, too, despitebeing few and far betweenin battle.

The things I remember

around that time are thegood days, he said. Wehad these rest periods andwere all out having mobileshowers and all the womenwere lined up watching usshower, waving at us.

The 90-year-olds quickwit and charm haventchanged over the years, henoted, and recalled oneof his favourite pastimesduring the intense trainingthey received for theProvost Corps in England.

We were always stealingeach others girlfriends, hesaid. The men are all greatdart players there, ya know.But I never learned to playdarts.These guys are atthe pubs, theyre shooting,and all these beautiful girlswould be sitting there bythemselves. So, I joined thewomen. I never learned toplay darts.

Although he remembersthe fun times during

training, it wasnt quite thesame when they trainedfor D-Day in northernScotland.

Were wading in thisice cold water, all this kindof stuff, he said. Wehad to learn how to drivedifferent types of vehicles.It was quite an experience.

After surviving D-Day,Zantoas was involvedin another major battlewhen the Allies pushedthe German army backtowards Falaise inNormandy. A mortar shellblindsided him while hewas riding his motorcycleand he woke up in an aidstation.

Anywhere all this stuffwould break out and youdidnt know where or why,he added. The Germanshad a big breakout and wehad them surrounded andthey just broke out and itwas pretty dangerous all

around there for awhile.Two months later,

Zantoas was back on theeld. He was in Hollandwhen the war was declaredover.

Zantoas hasreceived many honourscommemorating his servicein the SecondWorldWar,including the 1939 to 1945Star, the Italy Star, theFrance and Germany Star,the Defence Medal.

After all these years, theNorthVancouver veteransays hell never forget.

Some things remindme of it, he said. Ilearned to put stuff out ofmy mind as quickly as Ican, and you cant live withit being there, but littlethings will remind me of it.

If I see a grown mancrying at a funeral, I see theguys there crying littlethings like that come backto me.

parents are feeling frustratedat being caught in themiddle of the dispute.

He added he supportsteachers on class size andcomposition, but not ontheir wage demands.

Hutniak said a full-scalestrike just before summerholidays might be easier forsome parents to deal withthan the uncertainty of therotating strikes, which hesaid are causing havoc.

High school studentsin NorthVancouver addedtheir voices to the debatethis week by stagingwalkoutsWednesday toprotest being caught in themiddle of the dispute.

Were in the middleof the ght between thegovernment and teachersand its not fair on us tobe losing our school time,said 14-year-old JenniferShannon, a Grade 8 studentat Argyle secondary.

About 50 Argyle studentswalked out of classesWednesday morning andgathered outside the schoolentrance with signs bearingslogans likeThe System isBroken.

Students later marched toNorthVancouver-SeymourMLA JaneThornthwaitesofce nearby.

Most of those whowere taking part in thewalkout said they are moresympathetic to the teachers,and blamed employers forimposing lockout conditions,which they said, are hurtingstudents.

I went in to talk to oneof our counsellors and itwas right before the bell wasgoing to ring. He said, Imnot allowed to talk to you. Icant help you, said Grade11 student Joelle Majeau.If I have a question in animportant subject like mathor science (or) if I have a testcoming up, I cant talk to myteacher, she said.

Students added thelibrary has been locked atlunch and they have noaccess to the Internet to doresearch during that time.

Grade 11 student JoshuaJohnson said the labourdisputes between teachersand the province have been

going on since I was inGrade 2.That was 10 yearsago, he said.

The NorthVancouverwalkout was part of a largerstudent walkout organizedthrough a Facebook groupthis week.

In a letter to parents sentout June 3, John Lewis,superintendent of schoolsfor the NorthVancouverSchool District, urgedstudents to stay in school.

In the letter, Lewis saidstudents who take partin unsupervised activitiesplace students at risk andare disruptive to learningand to the community atlarge.

Johnson said he thoughtthe letter was hypocritical.

Rotating strikes are tocontinue next week withschool closures in North andWestVancouver planned forWednesday.


Day to rememberS eventy years ago, about 15,000Canadian soldiers landed on thebeaches of Normandy as part ofthe Allied invasion of Europe known asD-Day.About 340 of them died that day,

among 1,000 Canadian casualties. Inthe months following, more than 5,000Canadian soldiers died.Seven decades on, its hard to

imagine a military mission of thatmagnitude being launched in suchsecrecy 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 sacriceand doing the right thing.Its almost impossible for us to

imagine what it was like for theCanadian soldiers who crouched in thelanding craft on rolling seas that day,

the bravado of youth layered on top ofterror. By all accounts, the scenes ofcarnage that waited were as terrible.Those young soldiers, barely out of

their teens, are old men now, many ofthem in their 90s.The ceremonies this year could be

the last most of them will attend.As their numbers dwindle, the

rst-hand memory of the day growsdimmer.Decades on, we are still learning the

lessons of history.Our challenge as we honour the last

veterans of D-Day is to remember andappreciate what spurred young men toland on the beaches in the path of hell the respect for liberty and humandignity, a belief in ideals that werebigger than themselves.Our responsibility as Canadians is to

continue to be worthy of their sacrice.

So what would youprefer for the renamedWestVancouver?Grosvenorville? OrGrosvenor City, whichsounds classier?

Aw, not serious. Justimagining the London-based company as thepioneer surpassing oldJohn Lawson of thenew, newWest Vancouver,through its glittering,block-long project on thesouth side of 1300-blockMarine Drive, gatewayto a projected greatlyrevitalized Ambleside.

That said:What aboutthe north side?

Well, the presentgateway is a big swath ofdirt, an excavation straightacross from Grosvenorsup-market project. Shellowns it. A seasonedbusinessman, my Agent6Voar42C, believes Shellhas no intention of selling

this once-and-maybe-future corner servicestation site.

The rest of the blockconsists of time-worn butwell-kept 1950s-era shops.Hardly a million-dollar-plus view for respectedGrosvenors million-dollar-plus condo buyers.A problemo, no?

Grosvenor has beencontacting north-side

owners but stopright here if you leapto the conclusion thatthe venerable Englishcompany aims to expandits 13th and Marinebeachhead.

I didnt leap to theconclusion, but I leaped tothe possibility. In fact if Iwere advising Grosvenor(for a substantialconsultancy fee) Idurge: Buy out the sevennorth-side landlords andbuild a boutique hotel tocomplement your south-side condos, adding morefancy-pants shops.

Of course as a citizenId urge no such thing.The north-side businessesare a varied lot, includinggood restaurant ChezMichel, chic CalienteFashions, Malkin cleaners(since 1923!), a popularveterinary hospital, HandsOn Alterations, etc. Some

just wont sit well underGrosvenors shadow.

So Im afraid myquestions to unbelievablywealthy Grosvenor aboutany interest in the north-side block bordered onthe brusque. (What doesunbelievably wealthymean?This: Grosvenoris a self-describedLondon-based privately-owned property groupwith 17 ofces in 11countries around theworld, founded in 1677.London has the priciestreal estate in the world.How pricey? BloombergBusinessweek reports thatreal-estate rm Savillsestimates that Londons10 richest boroughs areworth nine per centmore than Scotland,Walesand Northern Irelandcombined. Read thatagain. And the Grosvenorfamily owns huge chunks

of the richest of the rich central London.)

Grosvenor replied,coolly Id call it: Weare contacting propertyowners on the north sideof Marine Drive to informthem of construction plansand to meet the DistrictofWest Vancouversexpectation thatconstruction be carriedout in an efcient mannerto limit disruption.

This communicationto property owners is astandard practice and partof Grosvenors ongoingcommitment to everycommunity. Any otherinsinuation you make inthis regard is factuallyinaccurate.

Old-world courtesy ornot, if I were a landlordsuch a call would remindme:Years of noise. Dust.Cranes. Lumbering trucks.Parking nightmare. Have

to lower rents, hard tokeep or get new tenants. Adiminishing asset. Bettersell now.

Jane Edgar, wittilycalling herself La Presidenteof Caliente, is forthrightabout block tenants:We are community.Wesupport each other. We arent just losing view,were losing sky. At thegentle Christian Sciencereading room, one of onlytwo in Metro, the verynice operators praisedlandlord Al Veljacic whoalso owns Malkin,Yasmin,andTakeoff NowTravel for his reasonablerents.Veljacic says: Ihavent talked to anybodywhos happy about this. I dont want to see acorridor of buildings liketheWest End.

OK, its business. And

The end of the legislaturesession allows us to takestock of ourMLAs, ourpolitical parties and thepolitical scene in general.Who emerged as keyplayers?Which issuesresonated with the public?

The B.C. Liberalscontinued to exudecondence even cockiness throughout the session,as its MLAs still ride highin the saddle after havingtheir unexpected new leaseon political life granted byvoters last year.

Premier Christy Clarkhas gone from being deridedas premier photo-op, forinsisting on being front andcentre in everything hergovernment was doing, tobeing a hands-off leaderwilling to delegate all kindsof responsibilities to thosearound her.

She is also very clearlythe leader of her party andcaucus, and continues to betheir star performer in thelegislature (although she hascontinued her disdain for theplace, usually only attendingthe session two days a week).

It also became even moreclear in this past sessionthat the quarterback ofthe B.C. Liberals is FinanceMinister Mike de Jong.Asthe government house leaderhe controlled the legislaturesproceedings and acted as

a calming presence for hisside when things got a littleraucous.

Of the veterans on thegovernment side, EnergyMinister Bill Bennett hasgone from being banishedfrom Gordon Campbellsgovernment to being a majorforce under Clark.

And it is evident thatJobs Minister Shirley Bond,Environment Minister MaryPolak and LNGMinisterRich Coleman are keylieutenants to the premier.

Of the newcomers,TransportationMinisterTodd Stone stood out asperhaps the ablest performerin the house, as he time andagain swatted away NDPattacks on his reductionsto some B.C. Ferry routesailings or on his plans fortransit and transportation inMetroVancouver.

After a bit of a shaky start,Attorney-General SuzanneAnton seemed to steadyherself and emerged strongerat the end of the sessionthan at the beginning.AndTechnology MinisterAndrewWilkinson displayeda demonstrable ability toreally get under the skin ofNDPMLAs, thus prettywell ensuring he may geta higher-prole portfoliosooner than later.

On the NDP side, thingswerent quite as rosy.Thecaucus is slowly coming outof its near coma-like statethat enveloped it for so longafter the partys devastatingelection loss, and someveteranMLAs often lookedlike they would have liked tohave been anywhere otherthan the legislature.

The partys leadershipproblem was a majordistraction for most of thesession and helped suck theenergy out of the caucus.

The inevitable choice of JohnHorgan as leader came toolate in the session to havemuch of an impact on things.

The caucus didnt garnermuch media coverage duringthe session, which isnt thatunusual in the rst year ofa governments mandate.The NDP rarely broke newground on many issues andoften offered predictablynegative responses to any-thing the government did.

Question period, theprime vehicle to get publicattention, often consistedof NDPMLAs askingquestions about issues orstories that were weeks oldor had already receivedwidespread attention.Andso QP, so vital a tool toan opposition party, oftenbecame a non-event.

There was the odd excep-tion, of course.Most notablewas the NDPs focus on theclaw back of child supportpayments to women on dis-

ability assistance.The partymade credible argumentsabout the unfairness of thegovernments policy, andI wouldnt be surprised ifsome positive changes occuras a result.

Two pieces of legislationstood out: one to allow atransit referendum inMetroVancouver and the other todivide the Agriculture LandReserve into two zones, withone of them having morepotential for development offarmland.

The NDP chose theALR bill as the hill to dieon, and the session ended inacrimony and bitterness (forsome) as the bill inevitablypassed into law.

It was a tting issue onwhich to end the session,since the ALR legislationneatly framed a crucialdifference between the twoparties, as the changes itallows will likely be morepopular in the Interior and

the North, two areas theNDP is increasingly havingtrouble connecting with.

And so the legislaturenow sits quiet until October,when the politicians returnand the shouting beginsanew. I cant wait!

A tugboat strike atSeaspan with thepotential to paralyzemarine operations in theport has been avertedafter the federal labourminister stepped in thisweek to get the two sidesback together.

Labour Minister KellieLeitch ew to theWestCoast after two unionsrepresenting about 400Seaspan tugboat captainsand crew threatened tostrike as early as Sunday.

Following discussions,the company and theCanadian MerchantService Guild,representing tugboatcaptains, mates andengineers, agreed toarbitration.

The InternationalLongshore andWarehouseUnion representingdeckhands is not a partof that process, but hasagreed not to strike whiletalks continue.

Strike votes in the pastweek were prompted afterSeaspan sent a letter to theunion, saying it intendedto unilaterally impose anew agreement on unionmembers, saidTerryEngler, president of theILWUs Local 400.

Engler described thatas an outrage and an

attempt to smash theunion.

No one has heard ofthat happening before, hesaid.

The latest movescome after 15 months ofnegotiations, which haveso far failed to result in acontract.The last contractran out in October of lastyear.

Engler said the bigissues for union membersare benet, pension andovertime provisions, whichhe said Seaspan is tryingto more than roll back.

JonathanWhitworth,chief executive ofcer forSeaspan, said the companyis asking for changes toensure the business stayscompetitive with othercompanies.

While the unionagreements have notchanged much in 40years, in the last veyears, Seaspan has facedincreased competitionfrom companies doingtowing and ship dockingthat have signicantlylower labour costs, saidWhitworth.

Seaspan labour costson tugboats are about30 per cent higher thanthe competition, he said,which is passed on to thecustomers. Many of thosecustomers includingthose in the forest industry are already operating

on a razors edge ofviability, he said.

In the past ve years,Seaspan has lost 120mariners jobs, accordingtoWhitworth.

It has everything todo with competition andeconomics,Whitworthsaid.

He said the benets forthe tugboat captains andcrews are substantiallydifferent than those forunion members whowork in the shipyards, forinstance.

Engler said his unionhas never been on strikebefore at Seaspan. Hesaid while a strike hasbeen averted for now,that remains a possibilityif an agreement cant bereached.

A spokesman for themariners guild could notbe reached for comment.

Whitworth said thetugboat captains and crewsare crucial to Seaspansoperations in the port andon the coast.

Without them wedont work, he said. Wedont operate.

Should B.C. raise the minimum wage?INQUIRINGREPORTER

Fiona VlasblomNewWestminster

Absolutely.The cost ofliving here is really expensiveand I think people need to bepaid what theyre worth.

Frankie HesterWest Vancouver

We need a wage thatslivable. If youre making adecent wage, youre putting itback into the economy.

Mel WardNorth Vancouver

Our living cost is so high,our minimum wage should beequally as high.

Rachelle GendronNorth Vancouver

Im for it within reason. Itshouldnt be so high it ruins abunch of small companies.

Lucas SnowdenNorth Vancouver

Yes. In comparison to theliving costs, it doesnt reallymatch.Vancouvers one of themost expensive cities to live inin North America.

Raising the minimumwageobstructs an efcientlabour market, accordingto those who protfrom an efcient labourmarket. Like Groucho Marxinsisting wages will turnhis employees into wageslaves, many companieswont raise salaries unlessthe government mandatesit. Illustrative of thatacquisitiveness, McDonaldsrecommended theiremployees save money byforegoing heat and healthinsurance. Comparatively,B.C.s $10.25 minimum isreasonable, but Vancouversliving expenses are denitelynot. Weigh in at nsnews.com

Trustees elected torise abovepoliticsDear Editor:An open letter to schooltrustees of North andWestVancouver:

I have great trouble tryingto gure out why not oneof the elected school boardtrustees in North andWestVancouver opposed a B.C.Public School EmployersAssocation directive to lockout teachers before, duringand after school.

As a teacher, when a stu-dent asks for help as lunchbegins, I have to say Sorry,but under the lockout provi-sions, I am prohibited fromworking during my lunchhour.When a student asksfor their essay back, I haveto say, Sorry, but underthe lockout provisions, Ionly have 45 minutes beforeschool and 45 minutes afterschool to mark 120 papers a time I also have to putaside for planning yourclasses.Under the lockoutprovisions, I have been toldthat I can still volunteer forextracurricular activities, butI question whether I wantto when I have been barredfrom working with studentsso as to justify a 10 per centpay cut. By not opposing thislockout, are you really serv-ing the best interests of thecommunity you serve?

As a parent, I have similarconcerns. Im concernedwhen my nine-year-oldcomes home from schoolwith a full lunch and tells meshe couldnt eat because thebehaviour of students hasdramatically deterioratedwithout teacher presence. Iam concerned you re-de-ned a teachers workday bysuggesting working throughthe evening, on weekendsand on holidays is now be-yond the employers expecta-

tions. It has been suggestedthat it takes 21 days to createa new habit: teachers arehalfway to realizing the newwork culture your lockouthas prescribed. Is this goodfor your community?

Have you thought aboutthe ramications if, Godforbid, something happens ata school while every teacheris two-blocks away havingbeen locked out of schoolsbecause you failed to opposea ludicrous directive fromBCPSEA, the governmentsbargaining agent?

As both a parent anda teacher, too many timesI scoff at the perceivedchildlike behaviour ofboth the B.C.TeachersFederation and the Liberalgovernment. But schooltrustees were elected to riseabove irresponsible politics.By failing to oppose theBCPSEA directive to barteachers from fullling alltheir duties during the schoolday, you have not acted inthe best interests of students,parents, your employees andyour community in general.Christian ObeckGibsons

workers immediately cameto his rescue. But oneworker went out of his wayto ensure the gentlemanwas OK. It looked as if thisworker had to be careful notto compromise the mansindependence while trying tohelp him. It was touching tosee this act of kindness.Lynn ForemanNorthVancouver

DouglasCouplandmakes senseof it all

Douglas Coupland: everywhere is anywhere isanything is everything at theVancouver Art Galleryuntil Sept. 1. CuratorsTour with Daina Augaitis,June 7 at 2 p.m. ArtistsTalk with Douglas CouplandonTuesday, June 24, 6-8 p.m.

JEREMY [email protected]

If youve ever wanted to spit in Douglas Couplandsface, your opportunity has nally arrived.

Gumhead looms outside theVancouver Art Gallery.Thetowering structure is modeled on Couplands craniumand art acionados are invited to stick their gum whereverthey please and watch the sculpture grow like a Chia Petsprouting masticated Bazooka Joe and mangled winter-fresh mint.

Inside, the exhibition is divided into six sectionsincluding Secret Handshake, which exists on a frequencyaudible only to Canadians.

Theres plywood on the wall to invoke the lumberindustry as well as the basement that your best friendsdad never got around to nishing. Deer antlers tangled in8-track tape round out the room.

I wanted to create images understandable only toCanadians. Americans should look at these photos andthink, Everything looks familiar, and yet nothing isfamiliar, stated Coupland in a release.

Replete with Emily Carr references, ice stormremembrances, and Robin Hood our, the exhibit delvesinto the challenges faced by such a huge, sprawlingcountry.

ForVAG chief curator Daina Augaitis, Secret Handshakeasks the question: What constitutes this social experimentcalled Canada?

Before Coupland coined the term McJobs and plumbedthe ridiculousness of realityTV, he was an Emily Carr artstudent.

The exhibition,Douglas Coupland: everywhere is anywhereis anything is everything, is the culmination of his return tovisual art after forging a career writing generation-deningsatire.

Coupland was thrilled to bring his art to theVAG,according to Augaitis.

In the many years that Ive been working as a curatorIve never had such an enthusiastic response at the otherend of the phone, she says.

The curator took time to speak to the North ShoreNews after the frenzy of setting up 100 of Couplandsworks over 10,000 square feet.

The craziness has ended, she says with an exhale.Augaitis job was trying to make sense of Couplands

prolic output. Since 2000, Coupland has sculpted, craftedword art, painted acrylic on canvas, and built Lego.

The sensibility behind Generation X:Tales for anAccelerated Culture andWorst.Person.Ever. is apparent ineach of his works.

Its really the same Doug Coupland that you seebehind all of these things, Augaitis says. Hes been veryarticulate in describing the effects of technology and tryingto think about where its taking us, what the future mightlook like.

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

Nearly identical Lego houses represent post-waroptimism and pre-apocalypse pessimism, while crowd-sourced Lego towers are a vision of the urban jungles tocome.

The ensuing hybrid buildings might well have emergedfrom a parallel universe, or from the year 2500, accordingto Coupland.

While Couplands head is outside theVAG, his brain isinside.

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

For Coupland, who has frequently meditated on thedifference between the pre- and post-Internet brain, theexhibition is a sele of the subconscious.

Overseen by the specters of AndyWarhol and OsamaBin Laden, the exhibit is a meditation on the oil-basedeconomy, loneliness, and imagination.

(Coupland is) searching to articulate and tounderstand the society that weve created and that weinhabit, Augaitis says.

The exhibit is a manifestation of Couplands visualliteracy, Augaitis explains.

When you speak with him he talks about visualizingthe words . . . so I think hes an extremely visually-orientedand visually-literate person, she says.

Shortly before beginning the interview, Augaitis saysshe took a peek out the window, although not to check theweather.

Its starting to get dotted with lots of gum, she reportsof Gumhead.

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

Part mystery, partpsychological drama, theCanadian gothic play, asits billed, centres arounda horric act of violencein a small town.Directedby Katrina Dunn, the castincludes Jillian Fargey,Sebastian Kroon,MarilynNorry, Emma Slipp andAlecWillows.

This is the fourthinstalment inTouchstoneTheatres Flying Startprogram,which gives a stage

to new playwrights whohave yet to be professionallyproduced in this case,rural-Ontario-born BrianaBrown.

Its really important tosupport young women in theeld because there are veryfew of them,Cuttler notes.

Designduo creates luxe bagsThe Susie features exoticskins and jewelled [email protected]

When a handbag designerand a jewelry designerjoin creative forces, theresult is part functional,part fashionable and 100per cent luxurious.

Bowen Island residentLarissa Stefani, formerly ofWestVancouver, is behindthe Lloyd &Wolf brandof leather accessories andSwedish-born LiselottMontesano, now based inVancouver, has a namesakeline of handcrafted jewelry.

The two were familiarwith each others workprior to teaming up,their designs having beenfeatured together inTVsegments and articles byfashion personality andstyle writer SusieWall. Infact, the frequency at whichtheir handbags and jewelryappeared side by side in themedia had Stefani thinkingthe pair might be kindredspirits. So she approachedMontesano and proposed acollaborative project.

I just had this idea inthe back of my mind, shesays. I had never even met(Montesano) but asked herfor a coffee and we met andI pulled the idea on her andthankfully she thought thatit was fantastic.

The fashionable fruit oftheir labour is the Susie a mini box bag adornedwith handcrafted jewelsttingly named for the stylemaven who brought thetwo designers together.Thecapsule collection includesjust two of the limited-edition bags.

Stefani crafted thebags out of exotic animalskins, such as stingrayand cayman, and nishedthem with lambskin trimand lamb suede lining.Meanwhile, Montesanodesigned the jewelledhandles. One of the bagsfeatures feminine pearls andsilver tassels up-cycled froman antique pair of earrings.The other has an edgierlook with vintage bronzechains from the 1940swoven with oxidized silverchain and featuring gold-brushed skulls.

While the Susie bagadheres to Stefanis designpreference for simplicityand clean lines, it divergessignicantly from herregular handbag collection.The leathers are moreexotic, the style is moresophisticated, there arenone of Lloyd &Wolfssignature cone-shaped studsand, at just seven incheswide, it will t only theessentials needed for a nightout.

Most of my other bagsI try to build in as muchversatility as I can, Stefaniexplains.

At $1,375, the Susie isdenitely a luxury purchase.And once the two bags aresold, there will be no moremade.

Either one of them,theyre one-of-a-kinds.

This marks the rst timeStefani has collaboratedwith another designer sinceshe founded Lloyd &Wolfin September 2013 and theexperience working with

JULIE CRAWFORDContributingWriter

Youll spit out thatcrappy theatre popcorn,guaranteed.Chef isnt justa feel-goodmovie: its alooks-good, smells-good,tastes-goodmovie, if youuse a little imagination.

Jon Favreau returnsto writing and directinghis own material as hedid with Swingers (1996)andMade (2001), bothco-starringVinceVaughn after a period directingsuch smash hits as Elf, IronMan and Iron Man 2.

In Chef he plays CarlCasper, executive chef ina popular L.A. restaurant.He has a reliable team(Bobby Cannavale, JohnLeguizamo), state-of-the-art equipment, and a loyalfront-of-house managerwho occasionally sleepsover (Scarlett Johansson).

What he doesnt have isthe freedom to be the edgyculinary artist he once was,and its eating him up.

Carls creative passion isbeing reined-in by the boss(Dustin Hoffman) whotells him to be an artist onyour own time. His hit-list,which hes been playing forve years, includes crowd-pleasers such as chocolatelava cake.Tasty, maybe, buthardly earth-shattering.

There are personal crises,too. Why dont I cookyou something? is Carlsinfallible pickup line, yet hedoesnt have time to date.And Carl shares custodyof his 10-year-old sonPercy (Emjay Anthony) butusually ends up making theboy tag along on trips to thefarmers market. If only hedput half of his passion intoparenting that he puts intohis menu planning.

Things boil over whena food critic (Oliver Platt)writes a scathing review.Technologically impairedCarl starts aTwitter warwith the man without even

We just wanted to get into the beauty and the cultureand the small communities and the amazing stories thatimmediately happen when you start looking for yourfood, says Brealey.

The show is given a cinematic treatment, similar inquality and look to a feature lm.

Its showing people these beautiful stunning thingsthat are literally in their backyard, says Brealey.

The shows rich soundtrack showcases emergingartists, native to the episodes shooting location.

The rst episode offers a cross-cultural take on thesea urchin, comparing how uni is viewed inVictoria incontrast to Japan, where its a revered, expensive andsought-after specialty food.

The second episode sees Brealey go ice shing onnorthern Albertas Slave Lake, joined by area chefTonyGiesbrecht, fromTop Chef Canada.

And the third follows the journey of chef JeffVan Geestof Olivers Miradoro restaurant. An avid farm to tablerestaurateur,Van Geest goes hunting for the rst time insearch of his rst whitetail deer.

There was a lot of emotion attached to it for himbecause it was really his experience, says Brealey. Ofcourse hes cooked for thousands and thousands of peoplebut hes never provided them with his food before in thatway. And thats the case really across the board that werending, is people have these very personal attachments totheir food and they dont necessarily even know it untilwe present them with that opportunity.

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

Were not expecting people to suddenly go out andbecome anglers and hunters and so on, but there areplaces that are available that people can appreciate, andappreciating those that do that is kind of the next step andits kind of one big step past the farmers market.

Canadian recording of the week TimberTimbre HotDreams (Arts & Crafts).

Taylor Kirk is never lessthan menacing onTimberTimbres surreal HotDreams, released April 1.

Listening to his dry,sardonic readings of tuneslike Curtains and BringMe Simple Men younever really know if hesdeadly serious or puttingone over on you.

Guests includeTasseomancys RomyLightman on backgroundvocals and Colin Stetsonon velvet saxophone.

These are murderballads ltered through thedread vox of David Lynchand executed with theartistic precision of NickCave and the Bad Seeds.

TimberTimbre play theCommodore on June 10.
