West Vancouver invites you to indulge in an explosion of the senses

at Odlum Brown’s Harmony Arts Festival 2014 West Vancouver, BC / April 28, 2014—It’s that time of year again! The twenty-fourth annual Harmony Arts Festival, presented by Odlum Brown Limited, is getting ready to transform West Vancouver parks and waterfront into a vibrant celebration of the senses!

For ten days in August, the natural splendor of this lovely North Shore community will give itself over to a joyous exploration of the arts. Regular attendees know that there’s no better place than the

Harmony Arts Festival to seek out enticing feasts for the ears, eyes and taste buds. Whether you come for the fine pairings of food and wine prepared by some of the lower mainland’s greatest

culinary adventurers, or to enjoy a contemplative stroll through the one of a kind visual offerings displayed along the Art Market, or if it’s always been the great live music that grabs your attention,

the Harmony Arts Festival still has something for everyone.

The Festival’s very popular culinary events have expanded this year! Along with the extremely

popular Best Of The West gastronomic event that runs on Wednesday, August 6th from 7 to 9 pm and features recipes and creative teams from 12 restaurants paired with the best from 12 wineries, the Festival will transform Argyle Avenue into a culinary paradise! From Tuesday, August 5th to Thursday August 7th, Argyle Avenue will become the Art of Food, a culinary experience like no other. Visitors will have the chance to enjoy a variety of delicious food samplings and tasters, or shop for unique products inspired by some of the lower mainland’s greatest culinary experts.

For many people, the Art Market is the heart of the festival and this year visitors will have the opportunity to view and purchase high quality, one of a kind artworks from some of the country’s best

creators. The Art Market will be open for viewing on the weekends – Friday, August 1st to Monday, August 4th and Friday, August 8th to Sunday, August 10th.

For the first time, budding young artists will have the chance to join the fun by enrolling at Harmony

Arts Kids Camp. This camp will take place at the beautiful waterfront Lawson Creek Studios. On the last day of camp, the young artists will have the opportunity to display and sell their creations at the Art Market.

The Festival is creating a new contemporary patio space along the pedestrian corridor of Argyle Avenue for people to relax and watch the world go by after taking in the festival. This Beachside

Patio will feature the Glowbal Group’s ‘Fish Shack’, a licensed dining area with 60 seats and plenty

of room for people to stand, chat and enjoy a drink. This ‘new’ beachside patio will complement the

nearby Waterfront Lounge, and expand the opportunities for people to enjoy an engaging and unique waterfront experience.

The Harmony Arts Festival has come a long way from its humble beginnings as a celebration of local art and community. With its world-class culinary offerings, tantalizing visual art, and highly anticipated musical performances, hosted in one of the world’s most beautiful seaside communities , the Harmony Arts Festival has become one of the most anticipated events on British Columbia’s

summer cultural calendar.

About the Harmony Arts Festival: Attracting over 400 established and emerging visual artists, 150 performing artists, 100 businesses and 50 suppliers and sponsors, the 24th annual Harmony Arts Festival, presented by Odlum Brown Limited, is a 10-day celebration of music, performance, cinema and art that showcases the best of the North Shore, regional, and national performing, visual and culinary arts. This community cultural event draws over 100,000 visitors to West Vancouver’s

stunning waterfront, providing the perfect setting to discover, appreciate and celebrate excellence in the arts.

Her paintings are easily identified by their sensitive myriad of greys and brushwork, which dances on the edge of abstraction.

JUNE 12 – 19 / 2014 THE GEORGIA STRAIGHT 57

newcomers round out a strong roster at the 26th annual event—the longest-running contemporary dance fest in Canada, thank you very much. Estab-lished names like Karen Jamieson, Jen-nifer Mascall, and Tedd Robinson all show work, alongside an exciting new generation of artists like Ziyian Kwan, Vanessa Goodman, Meredith Kala-man, and Arash Khakpour. !e Draw: !ere are eight—count ’em—outdoor by-donation pieces at the fest this year, meaning you don’t have to enter a dark theatre on a summer day to enjoy the event. Dusk Dances at Port-side Park promises to be a highlight, celebrating its 20th anniversary with a mixed bill that includes Meghan Goodman’s ode to the West Coast rain forest and Julia Aplin’s syn-chronized mini-pool swimmers. Info: www.dancingontheedge.org/ ENSEMBLE THEATRE COMPANY SUMMER REPERTORY (July 11 to August 16 at the Jericho Arts Centre) Escape summer "u# with this meaty theatre festival out at Jericho Beach. !is year, the company stages the AIDS autobiography !e Normal Heart, the Jacobean masterpiece !e Duchess of Mal", and the blackly comic Irish tale !e Cripple of Inishmaan in repertory throughout the season. !e Draw: We’re torn. !e Normal Heart tells the story of the rise of AIDS in the 1980s and one man’s $ght to spread the word in New York, and it was selected as one of the 100 greatest plays of the 20th century by the Royal National !eatre of Great Britain. But then Inishmaan is by the bitingly witty writer of In Bruges (Martin McDonagh). Info: www .ensembletheatrecompany.ca/ ENCHANTED EVENINGS (July 11, then !ursday evenings from July 17 to August 7, at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden) Pre-order a gourmet picnic dinner, grab a glass of wine, and settle in for this sunset concert series in the downtown’s most serene oasis. !e Draw: Don’t miss the hypnotic sounds of Silk Road Music on opening night, or check out Deanna Knight and the Hot Club of Mars’s jazz sounds in the chill para-dise on the $nal evening. Info: van-couverchinesegarden.com/

HARRISON FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS (July 12 to 20 at Harrison Hot Springs) Music on the beach, visual art, theatre, and more come together in one of the most spectacular settings for any arts fest this season. !e Draw: Revel in the diversity of the concert stages’ world music, featuring every-thing from concertina player Riccardo Tesi to Zimbabwean band Mokoomba to singer-songwriter Mae Moore. Info: www.harrisonfestival.com/

THEATRE UNDER THE STARS (July 15 to August 23 at Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park) Last summer’s hit Legally Blonde returns with Shrek: !e Musical in rotation at one of the most lushly scenic settings for outdoor theatre in town. !e Draw: !e younger set will love seeing their favourite green ogre, but, omigod, if TUTS can re-create the happy-hoo$ng magic of last year’s blond-airhead smash, like, don’t miss it. Info: tuts.ca/

QUEER ARTS FESTIVAL (July 23 to August 9 at the Roundhouse Com-munity Arts and Recreation Centre) With the theme of “ReGenerations”, the interdisciplinary fest o#ers up everything from music to visual art and all manner of performance. !e Draw: Sunny Drake’s one-man show X looks at addiction within the queer community, using everything from stop-motion animation to puppetry. And the art exhibits are always pro-vocative and high-quality: this year’s biggie is Queering the International, a show of immigrant, indigenous, and undocumented artists. Info: queerartsfestival.com/

VANCOUVER EARLY MUSIC FES-TIVAL (July 25 to August 9 at the Roy Barnett Recital Hall, the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts, and the Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre) !is sum-mer’s mesmerizing medieval and Renaissance sounds come courtesy of guests like Les Voix Baroques, Sequentia, and octagenarian harp-sichord virtuoso Colin Tilney (a co-pro with the Queer Arts Festival, above). !e Draw: On August 7 at the Chan, Vancouver’s crystalline Paci$c Baroque Orchestra takes on George Frederick Handel’s Il Trionfo del Tempo, with mesmerizing sing-ers Colin Balzer, Amanda Forsythe, Krisztina Szabó, and Reginald Mob-ley giving voice to the sweeping ora-torio. Info: earlymusic.bc.ca/

SCULPTORS’ SOCIETY SUMMER EXHIBITION (July 31 to August 4 at VanDusen Botanical Garden) !ere are few more enticing natural set-tings for sculpture than VanDusen Garden, which becomes a green ha-ven for work by the likes of bronze virtuosos Louise Solecki Weir and Cli# Vincenzi. !e Draw: Marvel at the way the artists wield such a stun-ning array of materials, like metal, glass, wood, marble, and terra cotta. Info: www.ssbc.ca/ POWELL STREET FESTIVAL (Au-gust 1 to 3 at the Firehall Arts Centre, Centre A, Oppenheimer Park, and more) From noise pop to multimedia-art installations, the celebration of Japanese-Canadian culture goes far beyond its roots—yet “Roots” is the

theme this year. !ink readings, con-certs, screenings, theatre, and more amid the festivities. !e Draw: Everything you may stumble upon Saturday and Sunday in the park, plus Kyoto noise-pop artist GRM-LN; a documentary about Japan’s new generation of mixed-race people, called Hafu; and the genre-mashing art installation Music Tem-ple at Centre A, with interdisciplin-ary innovators El$n Saddle.

“Creating songs, writing music and poetry, is its own

reward,” said Gena Perala. The young poet and songwriter

is still striving to find her niche in the Vancouver poetic

community but she knows exactly who she is. “I’m a

creative, an artist. I love words,” she said in an interview

with the Independent. “I started performing my poems in the

Vancouver Poetry Slam but I love music, too. Sometimes, I

just write music or sing but I consider myself a writer first.”

Her artistic life began in touring carnivals. “My parents were

carnies. My dad ran a bunch of games on the carnival

circuit. He traveled year round, only sometimes coming

home. My mom, with the kids, stayed home in White Rock

during the school years and then, every summer, we would

join the carnival and travel with my father. I loved it. There

were people from all walks of life and all nations in the

carnival. I was exposed to many cultures.”

She is mostly self-taught. “I took some lessons in piano,

guitar and voice but, for my poetry, I read a lot. I read

classics. I read lots of Russian literature.… You can’t really

‘teach’ writing poetry. There is no formula. I facilitate poetry

workshops in high school; have been doing it for the last few

years. I’m trying to show teenagers how to express

themselves poetically. Of course, there is some structure,

some poetic devices, but there are so many ways to write

poetry. I help students to access those ways.”

She also leads poetry seminars for young offenders. “A

teacher who knew me from my high school poetry

workshops asked me to do the same at a correctional

facility for teenagers, ages 13 to 17. It’s the same process,

and the kids are like any other kids, they just lacked some

love in their lives. During the workshops, I try to let them

know that they’re valuable, that their thoughts and ideas are

interesting.”

Not surprisingly, her poetry often slants towards social

themes. A few years ago, she participated in a B.C. poetry

competition about the importance of voting – and won it. “I

think it’s important to vote,” she said, “especially for us,

women. We have only been allowed to vote for the past

hundred years or so. We should exercise that right.”

Going from writing and reciting poetry to writing and

performing songs was a small and logical leap. While the

activity itself is highly rewarding, however, it’s not a lucrative

career. “I make money by waitressing,” Perala said with a

laugh. “With my songs and poetry, I’m lucky if I break even.”

Lately, she has been touring, and that has helped financially.

“I’ve had several tours recently, after I released my album

Exactly Nowhere. I performed in Toronto, New York and on

the West Coast. Touring is very reassuring for me. When I

tour, I’m usually the feature of a concert. I sell out my discs. I

connect with people. My songs resonate with them. They

come to me after the shows and we talk. Once, I met a

group of surfers, young guys, in California. They loved my

songs. But, in Vancouver, it’s hard to get exposure. It’s a

tough town to get shows here. It’s probably the hardest

challenge.”

Perala keeps trying, and she is constantly learning new

skills. One of the most fascinating projects for her was the

making of her first music video, Living Proof. She

expounded on its creation: “I hired a bunch of professionals

to help me, but the vision was mine. I wanted to be floating,

but to film that would be terribly expensive. The director,

Blake Farber, suggested we use a fan and some scarves

and ribbons. It came out very well. And I have tons of other

ideas. As soon as I scrounge some money….” She smiled.

“Fortunately, my fan base is growing.”

Locals might see her this summer playing piano around

Vancouver as part of the Keys to the Streets project. “I first

learned about a similar project, Street Piano, when I lived in

New York,” she said. “They installed 60 pianos in the streets

during the summer, and anyone who wanted to play could. It

was one of the best experiences of my life. I was walking

down a street and, suddenly, there was a piano and a guy

was playing it. I stopped and listened. Later, we talked. He

was a professional pianist in the past but hadn’t played for

awhile; he didn’t have an instrument at home. I didn’t either,

so I played it, too.

“Vancouver started a similar project – put 10 pianos in the

streets during July and August. I played one last year. I have

a keyboard at home now, but that was a real piano. I’m

going to do it this year, too. You always meet people there.

Some listen, others play. I love people.”

Perala’s next performance will be at the Harmony Arts

The artificial and natural are purposefullywoven together in art installation from awell-known West Vancouver-based architectat the Harmony Arts Festival, startingtoday.

From Aug. 1 to 10, festival-goers canenjoy the living public art piece created byWest Vancouver native and architect MatthewSoules.The contemporary art exhibition isfeatured at the Park Royal Beachside Patio.

“There’s a few different conceptual strandsthat come from a little bit different places andthen get woven together to formulate an ideaof what we’re actually doing on site,” saidSoules, from Grenada, Spain, where he wasworking on an international research projectuntil recently.

Soules was born, raised and educated inWest Vancouver. He received his undergraduatedegrees in fine arts and history at theUniversity of British Columbia before attaining

his master of architecture degree fromHarvard University. He’s also a professor atUBC’s School of Architecture and LandscapeArchitecture while simultaneously runninghis own award-winning firm, Matthew SoulesArchitecture.

But despite the accolades and experience,this will be the first living art and architecturalliving exhibit he’s composed in his home ofWest Vancouver.

“I grew up in West Vancouver. I went toelementary school and high school in West Vanand now I’m living in West Van.This is the firsttime I’ve done a project in West Van, so it wasreally exciting to me,” he said.

Soules was approached by DarrinMorrison, director and head curator of theWest Vancouver Museum, about five monthsago to submit a joint proposal through theB.C. Arts Council to do a temporary art andarchitectural installation at the local festival.

“Basically when you make one of the grantsubmissions, you have a general idea of whatyou’re going to do but you don’t know exactly

what you’re going to do,” he explained, addingthat two months ago they were approved forfunding by the council. “We were very excited.And then we put pen to paper and started toconceive of what we could do.”

It’s important to note that Soules is alsothe live-in architect and resident curator at theB.C. Binning House. Its design and overallconcept partially influenced the temporary artinstallation at the festival — particularly howthe landscape translates into a modern art anddesign vocabulary, according to Soules.The house, a national historic site in WestVancouver, was originally designed by the lateCanadian artist Bertram Charles Binning,whose life’s work influenced the likes of ArthurErickson and other famous, world-renownedarchitects. For the West Coast, it’s consideredthe first-ever modernist style home.

“B.C. Binning created all of these reallyamazing patterns with its squares, triangles,diamonds and patterned wall murals,” said

Soules, who lives in thehouse as well. “It’s aboutsimple shapes that aredifferent colours that arerepeated . . . I think that inthe field of geometry, therewas the kind of meditationon the field and expanse ofthe landscape.”

One of the conceptualstrands for the installationtranslates “the colours andexpanse of the landscapeinto a geometric mosaic,”according to Soules.

The other idea was tohave a pragmatic art piecefestival-goers can actuallyuse, he added.

“Given that August, ifwe’re lucky, in Vancouver isthe sunniest and warmesttime of year, we thoughtwhat if we did somethingthat provided basic shadeand sun protection forfestival-goers?” he said.“That’s the secondconceptual strand.”

The last piece of thepuzzle incorporated in thedesign is to showcase the

way nature and landscapeinteract with architecture.

“Me and mycollaborators, or my staff,became interested in howwe could do somethingthat had a kind of dialoguebetween artificiality andnature,” Soules said.“Basically, the proposalis to do a canopy roofsculpture that festival-goers can relax under, walkunder and that the canopyis made up of a series ofgeometric modules.”

Each of the 260modules is comprised ofgrowing plant material“that are all impregnatedwith clover seeds andrye grass,” which weregrown in West Vancouver’smunicipal nursery.

The modules wereassembled more than amonth earlier and theseeds were planted shortlyafter.The structures wereall combined a few daysbefore the festival’s Aug. 1start.

“I’m really fascinatedwith how architecture is

this thing that surroundsus all the time in our lives,”he said, “but it’s oftenthis thing that is in thebackground. It’s somethingwe just inhabit but oftendon’t think about in theforefront of our brains.”

And for Soules, he saidhe often meditates on howin subtle ways, architectureplays a role in creating newand different worlds.

“It as a necessityembodies a whole host ofsocial, cultural, politicaland economic kind offorces and ideas,” he said.“I’m most fascinated inarchitecture as a kind ofmanifestation of socialideas, economic forces.I think, always in myprojects, I try to imaginethem in the terms ofthe … social, economicideological worlds thatthey manifest.”

Each jewelry piecehas a storyDesigner travels the worldto source the best materialsCHRISTINE [email protected]

Early next month,WestVancouver jewelrydesigner Tania Gleavewill make her shortestcommute of the year.

It’s just a quick walkfrom her Ambleside homedown to Argyle Avenuewhere she will join thedozens of other artists andartisans juried into theArt Market at this year’sHarmony Arts Festival.Gleave will have a booth setup during both weekendsof the festival — Aug. 1 to4 and Aug. 8 to 10.

“It’s so great to do theHarmony Arts Festivalbecause for all other showsI do, it’s trains, planes andautomobiles,” she says,recalling some of the far-flung locales in which she’sexhibited her designs.

For six years, Gleaveco-ran the Lemon Parkjewelry company with hersister Penny.Two yearsago, the artist struck outon her own and createda whole new jewelrycollection under her ownlabel. She does the bulk ofthe production work in herLower Lonsdale studio,but also works out of theGranville Island galleryspace she operates with herartist husband Peter Kiss.

Gleave says it’s the sizeand the material that reallysets her jewelry apart fromthe rest.

“The scale tends tobe quite confident, it’sbold,” she says of hersignature look, adding,“I consistently use in my

collection leather, bone,horn and ebony.”

When working inleather, she collaborateswith her Granville Islandstudio neighbour MonikaSadryna, a leather artistwho happily lends herexpert hand in exchangefor a carved woodenhandbag handle or two.

Gleave sources hermaterial from all overthe world and visits Bali,Indonesia once or twice ayear to meet with a carverand discuss whether or nother sketches can be realizedin ebony.

“I like to be there forthat so that we can iron outany challenges that comeup,” she says.

She has also travelledto the Ratnapura districtof Sri Lanka — a regionfamed for its gem mining.

“The mines are tiny.They’re not anything likewhat we would imaginea mine here in Canadabeing,” Gleave says,remembering a time whenshe descended a ricketybamboo ladder into a smallhole in the ground. “Youclimb down the ladderand have a little head lampon and then you crawlhorizontally. It’s prettyrustic.”

She watched minerspull raw tourmalines andspinels out of the groundand, in seeing the process,developed a strongerconnection to the productsshe uses in her jewelry.

Things couldn’t havegone much better for themembers of new bandThe Tourist Company,launched just over a yearago.

Forming in spring 2013,the band, comprised ofNorth Shore residentsTaylor Swindells, JillianLevey and Brenon Parry,along with Abbotsford’sJosué Quezada, has sincereleased its debut albumand an EP, and gone ontheir first tour. Otheraccolades include theirbeing voted regionalchampion for Vancouver inCBC Music’s Searchlightcompetition, and the mostrecent feather in their cap,they were named one of12 bands in this year’s ThePeak Performance Project.

“We’re just gratefulfor the opportunities thathave come up.We couldn’thave really anticipatedthe year going as it has.We’re just really thankfulto be where we are andexcited to see what comesout of all of this too,”

says Swindells, a vocalist,guitarist and trumpetplayer with the band.TheNorth Vancouver residentis further grateful for thesupport of his bandmatesand from communitymembers, importantcontributors to theircontinued success.

While music has alwaysbeen a part of Swindells’life, as well as songwriting,it wasn’t until January2013 when he showedsome of his songs to hisfuture bandmates thatthings began to take off.Agreeing to help himrecord some tracks in thestudio, they came to seetheir potential.

“As that process wentalong we realized, ‘Hey, weshould do something withthis,’ and we figured weshould make a band of it,”says Swindells.

The Tourist Companyreleased its debut albumBrother,Wake Up in spring2013 and followed itup with Space Race, anEP, in May. Space Racewas produced by singer-songwriter Jordan Klassen,thanks to an introductionby the band’s friend andmanager Alex Wyder.

“(Klassen has) beenreally great and reallytaught us a lot. He’s justa brilliant mind musicallyand so it’s been goodto work with him,” says

Swindells. Klassen’sinfluence is evident on thenew EP, as well as that offellow contributor DanKlenner, a former memberof Hey Ocean!

“Both of them reallyjust helped us to startthinking outside of ourgenre a little bit andpushing our sounds andbeing a little more creativeand really added to ourthought process withrecording and coming upwith new lines and hooksin songs. Just workingaround them and seeinghow they do things andwhat they brought to thetable just matured ourthought process a lot.Wealways want to be learningand growing, we neverwant to be stuck in oneplace musically.We’realways looking to grow andexpand and figure out newways to try and get betterat what we’re doing,” saysSwindells.

The resulting SpaceRace has a more full andbigger sound than theirdebut, which they mainlyproduced themselves.

The Tourist Company’slive shows are knownfor being upbeat andenergetic.

“I think people go toa live show to enjoy themand to have fun. In ourlive show, we have a lot offun creating what we do.We want to invite peopleinto that as well.We hopethat they’re tapping alongand bopping along withthe songs that are moreupbeat,” says Swindells,adding they also writesongs that are “not sodancey.”

“We try to incorporateall aspects of that intoour set and so it’s notlike there’s one thinghappening all the timeso it’s really dynamicand flowing, and all thespectrums of what musiccan be,” he says.

The band has a busytour schedule aheadof them this summer,including a hometownshow at West Vancouver’sHarmony Arts Festival,

part of the Sunset ConcertSeries, Saturday, Aug. 2at John Lawson Park.Thefestival is offering a host ofmusic, art and food eventsalong the West Vancouverwaterfront from Aug. 1 to10.

The Tourist Companywill maintain a packedschedule into the fall dueto their involvement in ThePeak Performance Project.In B.C., the project isadministered by Music

B.C. Industry Associationand is intended to helpeducate, promote, developand launch the careers ofpromising talent.

“We’re really excited.It’s an honour to beincluded.The top 12bands, this year, well everyyear, they’re phenomenal.So to be considered amongthem, we’re really humbledby that.The Peak is anopportunity to refine andget better at everything

that we do. It’s pretty rarethat you have a panel ofindustry experts lookingat what you’re doingand critiquing it,” saysSwindells.

“It’s going to be a biglearning experience and achance to get to the nextlevel for us as a band withour sound and with howwe’re just operating andfunctioning as a band aswell,” he adds.

FOOD, CRAFTS & MUSIC AT HARMONY ARTS FESTIVAL 2014.Article & photos by Lenora A.Hayman.

The 24th. Harmony Arts Festival August 1-10, 2014 at Ambleside Beach in West Vancouver required several visits, to appreciate the visual arts, musical performances, children’s activities & culinary offerings.

Lining Argyle Ave. were a series of Art Market tents showcasing quality creations.

Xuuyaa, a Haida/Squamish artist was carving a yellow cedar Chief ’s Staff or Talking Stick and Xwalacktun(Rick Harry), raised in Squamish, created a huge Red Cedar Raven, whose copper eye was set in the centre of a CD. Xwalacktun received the Order of British Columbia in 2012. Xwalacktun’s artwork is featured on the 20 foot tall Squamish pedestrian overpass spanning Highway #99,The Sea to Sky Highway.

Grazna Wolski’s floral art included a huge painting of blue Dendrobium orchids & Sophia Kim’s Sophia Clay Art had birch bark designs on her pottery.

Elaine Garrett at Cappellino Custom Hats sources a variety of materials for her unique haute couture hats. It requires 3-5 months to hand weave Equatorial straw before creating & steaming a hat. Milani straw hats were fashioned from Seagrass & other elegant headgear was made with Para-sisal straw, which takes dye very well & can be blocked & stiffened to achieve the sculptured Fascinators worn by Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge. Also displayed were Sinamay hats woven from the Philippine Abaca stalk, & felt hats made from sheep wool, rabbit fur & Kashmir goat.

I loved Toad’s World & Diane Jorden’s handmade collectible dolls whose copper armatures make them easy to pose. They are characters from the old classics, such as Wind in the Willows, Peter Rabbit, & Cassandra the Cat, an elegant female Puss in Boots! Leonard the Toad, her first whimsical creation, which was inspired by K.Graham’s character Toad of Toad Hall has glass jewels on the back of his head.

There were numerous food carts & stalls, so I headed for The ChouChou for a Mr. Jules smoked salmon, mascarpone & lemon greens Breton crepe followed by a Koo Koo coconut cupcake, packed with coconut & a cream cheese frosting, before listening to Dal Richards & his band, part of the Seniors’ Series at John Lawson Park.

The Vermillion Sands, designed by Matthew Soules, was a canopy of living grass & clover that resembled egg cartons & provided welcome shade, as we listened to the Mexican Mariachi Los Dorados & the Jen Hodge All Stars Jazz Band playing Mojo Strut & Tiger Rag on the Parc Retirement Living Garden Stage.

Behind us in the Beachside Patio in Millennium Park West, folk were enjoying fresh fish & ciders at the Glowbal pop-up Fish Shack Restaurant.

The highlight on the Wednesday was the 4th Annual Best of the West food & wine pairing event on the Ambleside Pier at the foot of 14th St & Argyle Ave. By combining in one place 12 restaurants each partnered with 1 of 12 BC wineries, we experienced

in one evening, the diversity of our local restaurants.Chefs Chris Whittaker & Andrew Luketic from

the Forage Restaurant, offered Yarrow farms duck breast pastrami, duck confit ravioli and Okanagan preserve paired with the flavours of blackberry, sour cherries & peppers in the Naramata 2011 Nichol Vineyard Syrah.

Guests voted The Savoury Road first place for their favorite taste of the evening with the coconut & ginger infused prawn cake, pineapple salsa & sweet baby pea shoots and the honey, clove & blossom notes of the Penticton Laughing Stock Vineyards Viognier.

In second place The Summerland Haywire Winery paired their sparkling 2012 Haywire White Bub, a blend of Pinot Noir & Chardonnay with the vanilla & citrus infused cheesecake with a lemon scented crust & a green apple & pear William jelly made by Temper Chocolate Pastry.

Third place went to Bene Sushi for the vegetable & tuna fish wrap with drizzled house special sauce on top & the Oliver 2011 Stoneboat Vineyards Pinot Gris fresh with stonefruit & citrus.

The wonderful, balmy weather, enhanced the cuisine, wine & live music & made a perfect evening.

Harmony Arts FestivalAug. 1 to 10 | West VancouverTickets and info: harmonyarts.ca

SHAWN CONNERSPECIAL TO THE SUN

When visitors attend this year’s Harmony Arts Festival, they’ll be greeted by a living art installation that is more than just a shaded escape from the August sun.

Vermilion Sands, in the entranceway to Millennium Park, is a canopy comprised of thousands of plants.

But it’s more than just a way of offering shade. According to architect/creator Matthew Soules, Vermilion Sands is a multi-purpose art installation.

“There’s this juxtaposition that I hope will be compelling,” Soules said. “It’s a canopy, but then it has other aspirations.”

The first purpose is relatively straightforward.

“We wanted to make some-thing that celebrated the entry into the site, that would be dramatic and exciting to enter under,” Soules said.

Now in its 24th year, the Har-mony Arts Festival regularly draws more than 100,000 peo-ple to Millennium Park and the West Vancouver waterfront for music, food, drink, outdoor cinema and art. This year, the 10-day festival will feature 400 established and emerging visual artists and 150 performing art-ists. From the beginning, visual art has played a huge part in the Harmony Arts Festival. Each year, the festival hosts an Art Market, which features every-thing from ceramics to musi-cal instruments to woodwork. An art walk takes participants to local businesses to view the work of artists. The ArtSpeaks tent hosts workshops, talks and demonstrations in crafts, painting, writing, photography and more.

This year, there is also a group exhibition featuring mixed

media work by local artists, and for the Love of Art exhib-its work by emerging, under-18 artists. Meanwhile, this year, for the first time, kids 7-12 can take part in an arts camp and, on the last day of camp, sell their wares at the Art Market.

While Vermilion Sands has a practical and esthetic purpose, it also pays tribute to a Van-couver artist. Soules is the live-in caretaker of B.C. Binning House, the house designed by Vancouver artist and archi-tect B.C. Binning. (In 1997, the house was declared a National Historic Site of Canada.)

Living in the house, Soules says, has afforded him the opportunity to become better acquainted with the work and ideas of “this important mod-ernist artist and designer of spaces in Vancouver.”

“One of the things he was fascinated with was creating paintings that were abstract

and composed of repeated geo-metric shapes,” Soules said.

Though not a painting, Soules’ Vermilion Sands project is made up of a repeated pyrami-dal geometric shape à la some of Binning’s abstract work.

“It’s a pattern you walk under, but a three-dimensional pat-tern. It’s a riff on his work, but done in a more spatial way.”

Vermilion Sands is the festi-val’s largest site-specific work to date, and one of its most ambitious.

The canopy is 90 feet long by 20 feet wide and about 13 feet tall and formed using two dif-ferent kinds of plants, white

clover and perennial ryegrass, which have been grown in 260 modules at a West Vancouver nursery.

An LED lighting system and a misting system are also part of the installation, which required the work of approximately 35 people.

“In general, I’m fascinated by the artificiality of architecture and public art,” Soules said.

“Architecture is, in a very basic way, a man-made cre-ation, an artificial thing. The site itself is a beautiful park setting on the waterfront. The question becomes, how can we find ways to incorporate

natural elements so they become hybridized and strange and surreal mutations? And I find the idea of building that pattern out of growing plant material, which you can only control to a partial degree, very intriguing. The geometry is very specific and pure, but then the plants will do their own thing.”

Soules, who grew up in West Vancouver, is himself a fan of the festival.

“The waterfront location, when the weather’s right, is spectacular,” he said. “It’s a combination of that and the critical mass of humanity. Then there’s the food and good drinks and music.”

Oh yes, there’s that. The Har-mony Arts Festival has also been making a name for itself among city foodies. This year’s events include Best of the West (Aug. 6), a wine-and-food pair-ing that brings together 12 Lower Mainland restaurants

and 12 B.C. wineries. The Art of Food, on Argyle Avenue, the festival’s centre, features more than 35 chefs, restaurants and vendors. The Beachside Patio and the Waterfront Lounge offer food and drink in a sea-side setting.

New this year, the Beachside Patio is located in the centre of a contemporary art exhibition by Soules. As well as Vermilion Sands, Soules is the creative force behind other local tem-porary urban environments, including the Pop Rocks seat-ing at Robson Square in 2012. He also teaches at the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at UBC.

“The festival has been getting better year by year,” he said. “It’s exciting to participate in making it as good as it can be.”

BRUCE CONSTANTINEAUVANCOUVER SUN

The 40-year-old Vancou-ver Aquatic Centre on Beach Avenue could be demolished and replaced with a new facil-ity near the Granville Bridge under a proposed real estate

sale offered by the City of Vancouver.

News of the potential arrange-ment — still a long way from reality — caught many off guard Wednesday, even though it’s contained in a city information package that has been avail-able to potential buyers since May 12.

The city has invited offers on 12 parcels of land contained within the Granville Bridge’s northeast off-ramp and loop, which will be decommissioned and removed.

The land has a total assessed value of $36.14 million and bids from potential buyers are being accepted until Aug. 15.

The city’s “invitation for inno-vative offers” on the site notes it wants a “renewed” Vancouver Aquatic Centre on the property, to be built by a developer and transferred back to the city for a nominal fee of $10.

REAL ESTATE

City plunges ahead toward ‘renewed’ aquatic centre

Every 90 seconds or so for the past eight months, one of Jean Olson’s two phones

would ring.It started at 5 a.m. and contin-

ued all day, every day until well into the evening.

Whether on her cellphone or her North Vancouver home’s landline, the area code that almost invariably showed up on the call display was 876.

It was Jamaica calling. Scam-mers, that is.

“They sound like good people. They have soft voices; soothing, soft voices.”

Since the first call, Olson has sent more than $10,000 to Jamaica through Western Union and Moneygram on the promise of receiving everything from a lottery win of $25 million to a new car.

With every call, the men with the sunshine-y voices told Olson, she would get the prize once she paid a tax or deliv-ery fee or some other charge — $300 or $250 or $400.

In desperation and frustration, Olson’s family cut the phone line to the house and got rid of the cellphone a few days ago.

On Tuesday night, a pizza was delivered to her home with a message: “Call Jim, it’s urgent.”

Attached was a phone number with an 876 area code.

And, by the way, Olson was stuck with the bill for the pizza.

Until the phone line was cut, nothing slowed the frequency of the calls — not even last week’s two-day raid by a Jamaican-American joint police taskforce that resulted in the arrests of 41 people, or an April raid when 20 people were arrested.

If it’s 876, that’s Jamaica callingAnd you’d best not answer

Coquitlam was the bear-sighting capital of B.C. last year and while many of the animals showed up to gorge on garbage, there was also another attractant at play: the hum-ble blueberry.

“More than 20 years ago we had no blueberry farms here; now we have 600 acres just in Coquitlam,” said Drake Stephens, urban wildlife

coordinator for the City of Coquit-lam. “Right now, that lures a lot of bears into the area. I counted 20 bears in one farm a few years ago.”

A list of black bear, grizzly bear and cougar sighting reports to conserva-tion officers for 2013, obtained by The Sun through a Freedom of Infor-mation request, shows Coquitlam had by far the most reported black bear sightings in the province, with 1,281 reports.

Neighbouring Port Coquitlam was third, with 882 sightings. Other

Metro Vancouver cities, including Maple Ridge, North Vancouver and Burnaby, were also in the top 10.

Last year was much quieter than usual for bear sightings in the area, said Chris Doyle, an inspector with the B.C. Conservation Officer Service.

“The exception was the Tri-Cities area,” he said. “It was as busy or bus-ier than normal.”

This year, there is more activity throughout the region, he said, and sightings in the Tri-Cities are roughly

on par with last summer.“You’ve got large areas of residen-

tial and businesses that are right on the interface of good bear habitat,” he said of the area.

Blueberry farms have also contrib-uted to the booming bear population in the Tri-Cities, Doyle said, though electric fencing has had some success in mitigating this.

Coquitlam’s burden to bearCity is B.C.’s hot spot for close encounters of the furry kind thanks to a surge in blueberry crops

THE BRUNCHY BUNCHSometimes it’s nice to let someone else do the thinking. It’s double nice on a Saturday morning when your mind’s on vacation. O! The Eaten Track, a Vancouver culinary walking-tour company, just launched a brunch tour of East Village (the updated handle for Hastings Sunrise), a neighbourhood rich in breakfast and brunch places.

The cafés often have lineups, but people on the OTET tour can jump the queues.

The tour hits "ve places starting at the newbie East Café where you’ll "nd egg frittata with salsa waiting for you; then you move on to Saltenas for its namesake, a saltena, a Bolivian "lled pastry. At Jackalope’s Neighbourhood Dive, there’s cornbread, ribs and a “mind-blowing Caesar.” Next up, a sausage tasting at a butcher shop, and then a tea tasting “at Vancouver’s smallest tea shop.” It costs $65 and the tour starts at 10 a.m., and "nishes at 12:30, rain or shine. Along the way, the host will entertain you with sto-ries from the ‘hood. This is the newest OTET tour. Other tours include the Downtown Food Carts Tour, The Railtown Tour, Main Street Hidden Gems Culinary Tour — but the best is yet to come. The Distillery Tour should be o! the ground June 14 if everything goes as planned.

For more information, go to o!theeatentracktours.ca.

SIDE DISHES

Foodies alert: Barbecue, brunch, bourbon on tap

Bourbon and barbecue pork.

FOOD AND WINE, OCEANSIDETickets for Best of the West, a beautiful oceanside evening with B.C. food and wine pairings at West Vancouver’s Harmony Arts Festival, went on sale Friday, June 6. The event is on August 6 (7 to 9 p.m. at Ferry Building Landing Pier) which might lull you into thinking there’s lots of time to buy, but tickets sell out quickly. Twelve dishes from the North Shore’s best restaurants will be paired with 12 B.C. wines. Tickets are $105.

For more information and tickets, go to harmonyarts.ca/best-of-the-west/

DADS, SOUTHERN BARBECUE AND BOURBONSYou don’t often see 13 bourbons on a drink list. On June 14 and 15, in honour of Father’s Day, the six-month-old Little District Roadhouse (1336 Lonsdale, North Vancou-ver) will o!er them for $2 o! and they’ll be cooking up 40 pounds of North Carolina pulled pork. Grab a seat on the newly opened patio and we think Dad will be a pretty happy camper. What’ll it be, Dad? A Blanton’s Single Barrel? Hancock’s President Reserve Single Barrel? Jim Beam?

IN THE CELLAR

FOOD & WINE

ERIC AKISVICTORIA TIMES COLONIST

Looking at some photos of a mem-orable family trip to the south of France, I noted many were of market scenes — not an unusual interest for a food writer.

One picture showed a woman selling tapenade, a flavourful mixture whose key ingredient is olives.

Tapenade comes from the word tapeno, which means “capers” in Provence, a southwestern region of France where tapenade originates, according to the book Jacques Pepin’s Table.

If you are wondering why it’s named after capers and not olives — the key ingredient — award-winning author and Mediterranean food expert Clif-ford A. Wright writes on his website (Cliffordawright.com) that capers were brought to Provence from Crete by the Phocaeans, Greeks from Asia Minor who settled near Marseilles in the sixth century BC.

Wrights says the flower buds, the part of the caper used for culinary pur-poses, were preserved with olive oil in vessels called amphoras. He notes the capers became mushed together in those amphoras and formed a kind of paste of crushed tapeno (capers). Wright calls this the ancestor of the modern tapenade.

These days, although capers and olive oil are still used, olives are by volume the main ingredient in tapenade. It’s also often flavoured with anchovies.

Other blends of tapenade include those accented with such things as truffles, herbs, dried fruit and sun-dried tomatoes.

Three tempting tapenades

Le Serre Nuove Dell’ Ornellaia 2011, Bolgheri, Tuscany, ItalyPrice $63 | Score 91/100UPC: 086003002753

Serre Nuove is considered the ba-by Ornellaia but it too needs time in the cellar. The attack is round and full with a juicy, rich palate ! ecked with grainy tannins and ! avours of co" ee, vanilla, tobacco, cassis and pepper. The # nish is savoury with meaty, chocolate ! a-vours. Long, ! avourful # nish with good # nesse. Needs more time in bottle, say two to four years, or try it now with steak Florentine.

FOR THE COLLECTOR

Le Vieux Pin Syrah Cuvée Violette 2012, Oliver, Okanagan ValleyPrice $27 | Score 89/100UPC: 808755011162

Violette is a high-quality, entry-level Syrah that is co-fermented with 2-3 per cent of Viognier. A warm summer and cool nights have yielded a tasty Syrah with pepper, meaty black fruit, poultry spice and black cherry ! avours. Sleek and smooth, you can sip this now or let it age two to three years in bottle. The winery sug-gests steak Dianne with a ! ambé of crème de violette and cassis moutarde. A beef and tomato pasta dish is an equal match.

B.C. WINE OF THE WEEK

Wines of British Columbia is o" er-ing a free gourmet spice packet consisting of smoked sea salt mixed with a host of spices to ! avour virtually any meat or veg-etable dish. Marinade time ranges from one to 24 hours, depending on your preference, and either red or white wine can be used as a base. The packets, made by Koo-tenay Spice, are available at select Lower Mainland B.C. Liquor Stores throughout July. Look for the spice pack around bottle necks in the B.C. VQA section and you’ve found the perfect barbecue wine.

It is said it takes 30 days to acquire a new habit, but Wines of Germany is throwing in an extra day, hoping 31 Days of German Riesling will entice you to come to know one of the world’s greatest white wines. Throughout July and August, 31 Days of German Ries-ling goes Canada-wide, providing an opportunity to experience German Riesling in restaurants across the country. Twenty-four participating restaurants in B.C. are o" ering by-the-glass specials, ! ights of German wines, food and wine pairings, special dinners or tasting events. For more informa-tion go to 31daysgermanriesling.ca and prepare to be amazed. Best of all, customers will be in-vited to the site to enter a contest to win a long weekend for two in Berlin simply by supplying the name of a participating restaurant where you enjoyed a glass of Ger-man Riesling.

MIA STAINSBYVANCOUVER SUN

Fresh Cart, a farmer s’ mar-ket on wheels, joined Vancouver’s street food scene last week to sell fresh vegetables, fruit, snacks and some processed foods. It’s a part-nership between Re-Up barbecue and FarmCity Co-op (eight small, local sus-tainable farms).Unlike most street food carts, Fresh Cart will be open all year.Snacks and prepared foods include Re-up barbecue’s cured meats, artisan pasta, Aphrodite pies, and cold-pressed juices.The cart is parked at the corner of Hornby and West Georgia streets in downtown Vancouver most weekdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and at Hyack Square in New Westminster most week-day evenings from 4 to 6:30 p.m. and on Saturdays. It’ll also pop up at events and festivals.

Julia Smith of Urban Digs Farm is part of the farm co-op that is selling via the cart.

“It’s wonderful. It means I can spend more time in the

! eld. When I’m at farm-ers’ markets, it means

I’m not working on the farm,” she said as she was harvesting garlic on her south Burnaby farm. “It’s as fresh as it can get. We pick it, cool

it overnight and it’s on the cart the next

day.” She’ll have salad greens, heirloom toma-

toes and a free-range duck con! t to sell.

“It’s an innovative, grassroots means of nurturing and growing a network link-ing urban farms with local restaurants and consumers,” says Fresh Cart partner Lindsay Kaisaris. “We’re excited for the collaboration that the Fresh Cart brings — we’re able to pool crucial resources to help generate pro! ts and exposure for local farms and small business that may not have had the same opportunity on their own.”

You can follow Fresh Cart on Twitter: @CityFreshCart or for more informa-tion, visit farmcity.coop/fresh-cart.

Why pay double?A Montreal company is rivalling the iconic enam-elled cast iron Le Creuset cook-ware with a similar product but for less than half the price. Orly Cuisine produces the Le Cuistot brand of enamelled cast iron. Round, covered casserole pots sell for $72.50 to $158, depending on size (3 to 8 litres) and shape (round or oval); that’s about half the price of Le Creuset and even less if you can score some at Winners or HomeSense. (I’ve seen them there.)“I saw some today in a kitchen store, dirt cheap, at least a third cheaper. I couldn’t believe it and I think it’s every bit as nice as my Le Creuset!” said one post on the foodie forum, chowhound.com.“I have several of these pots and love them. I think they are easier to clean than my Le Creuset because the enam-el is much thicker on the inside. The only thing to watch for is that the lid ! ts true,” said another post.

Cast iron conserves heat and disperses it evenly and the casserole products are great for stewing, braising and sau-téing. Le Cuistot is sold at Cookshop, Market Kitchen and HomeWares in Vancouver; Well Seasoned in Langley; Kitchen Therapy in Surrey; and Cobblestone Cottage in Delta. Online, it’s available at kitchenstu" plus.com; amazon.ca and my cuisine.ca.

Fish Shack at Harmony ArtsThere’s something new for the throngs at the annual Harmony Arts Festival in West Vancouver this year. Fish Shack (part of the Glowbal Group of restaurants) will have an outdoor dining area along the Argyle Street pedestrian corridor between 15th and 16th streets. It’ll be called Park Royal Beachside Patio and there will be 10 to 12 ! sh shack-themed items on the menu, including fresh-shucked oysters, ! sh and chips, seafood tacos, black-ened salmon sandwiches and seafood chowder. It will be open from 2 to 10 p.m. on Aug. 1 and from noon to 10:30 p.m. Aug. 2 to 10. House Wine will be serving wines. It will be next to a giant 20-foot-high modern mixed media sculpture by Matthew Soules.

GAGLARDIS’ WAY: Leaving his Kamloops Lake

vacation home Thursday, Northland Properties pres-ident Tom Gaglardi offi-cially opened a locale his family has also altered, if less contentiously.

Renamed Boulevard, it was the restaurant in Vancouver’s Sutton Place which, with a same-name Edmonton hotel, Northland acquired in 2007. Northland also owns some 50 Sandman hotels in Canada, the U.S. and England, with more being built.

For Boulevard Kitchen & Oys-ter Bar’s opening, Tom joined parents Bob and Nathalie and sisters Andrea and Devonna, who built and designed the ritzy eatery, the latter with city-based Juli Hodgson. Wall-to-wall invitees feasted on execu-tive chef Alex Chen’s finger food and swigged bottomless free champagne and cocktails amid clouds of white orchids in tall, narrow ceramic planters. When one fell and shattered, staff whisked the debris way before some grasped it wasn’t a pistol shot. Such deftness is a family trait.

In the 1950s, Bob’s gospel-preaching father Phil built roads throughout B.C. — always with the sign: “Sorry for the Inconvenience — P.A. Gaglardi, Highways Minister” — so quickly, many didn’t real-ize they had been.

SNAKES ARRIVE: Backed by Okanagan Crush Pad sales staffer Rebeka Eriksson and Amy Hollenbach, David Scholefield sloshed out wine for Boulevard revellers. None came from the 1,200 cases of $35-a-bottle Haywire Canyon-view Pinot Noir 2011 that won a Lieutenant-governor’s Award recently. Still, the Pinot Noir name, or something close to it, has special resonance for the Hollenbachs.

That’s because Amy’s father Fritz, the party-hearty grape grower, had his winning streak with rattlesnakes snap recently when a young and particularly virulent one stung him between a thumb and forefinger. Even pumped with all available local serum and some airlifted from Spokane, Hollenbach went into a three-day coma. Given snake venom’s usual influence, he awoke to find one extremity — not his thumb — much enlarged and black in colour. Although undismayed, he watched as, like a heavy hangover, the con-dition resolved itself.

PASTURE PATTIES: A city restaurant promises “civilized debauchery” and, no less coun-ter intuitively, a local commu-nications firm calls itself “scan-dalous and smart.”

KID ROCKER: It’s been years since Laurie Papou’s au-naturel paintings showed husband Iain Ross endowed in ways other than as a video-game maker and rock musi-cian. Today, Ross usually plays behind singer Mark Oliver, son of later Supreme Court judge H.A.D. (Bert) Oliver, in the Hard On People band. The name purportedly represents exploitation of the poor by the

rich. For Papou’s recent 50th-birthday party, though, Ross fronted Francis Ross Experi-ence, a pickup ensemble named for his and Papou’s 12-year-old son. The latter played drums, a fact that gave bassist Danny Antonucci pause when Ross invited him to join in. He needn’t have worried. Perform-ing intensely and inventively, Francis stood out on the riser as impressively as his papa did on canvas.

AFTER LUPO: Yes, Danny Antonucci is the a.k.a. Cartoon firm founder-principal who created the Cartoon Network’s Ed, Edd n Eddy series. Other animated series under develop-ment include Snotrocket. The title echoes Marv Newland’s International Rocketship stu-dio, where Antonucci made his breakthrough picture, Lupo The Butcher. YouTube will put that ultra-gory short on your monitor. Otherwise, $20 and a call to [email protected] will score a DVD of it and 11 other International Rocket-ship titles — including New-land’s own cult classic, Bambi Meets Godzilla — transferred from 35-mm originals “with-out noticeable loss of humour or irreverence.”

M A L L E T S A F O R E -THOUGHT: Two decades after polo was last played on Southlands Riding Club’s rather short field, $5-a-ticket attend-ees will see it resume at 2 p.m., Aug. 17. What they won’t see is the equivalent of former Sea-forth Highlanders captain Basil (Nip) Parker, who lost a leg during the Second World War. Undeterred, he continued playing polo. Parker horrified onlookers, though, when he was unhorsed and his pony galloped away with his prosthetic limb and boot still wired to a stirrup.

PINO-NO-NO: Restaurant-ing’s rumour mill spun like a server’s pepper mill Thursday with word that Pino Poster-aro and financial backer Ken Vidalin had sold Ciopinno’s. “Not so,” Posteraro said later, noting that his “35-year run of 14-hour days” will continue. A similar prospect seemed not to faze son Giampaolo, who was 21 Friday.

CATCHING RAYS: If the sun shines on those it loves, it must have the hots for Chris-tie Rosta, West Vancouver’s four-year festival and events manager. The sun-drenched Harmony Arts Festival she oversees reportedly increased by 30 per cent this year, partly spurred by a three-day The Art of Food exhibition. That was also the theme at Wednes-day’s Best of the West party on Ambleside Pier, where out-of-towners Forage and Rod-ney’s Oyster House catered along with 10 West Van eater-ies. Event sponsor Grosvenor Americas is redeveloping parts of Ambleside to not entirely harmonious citizen response.

DOWN PARRYSCOPE: With the Vancouver Symphony Orchestral Institute established in Whistler, let’s bet musicians are brushing up on composer Edvard Grieg’s In The Hall Of The Mountain King.
