BRENT [email protected]

A young SquamishNation activist is joiningGreenpeaces rstever all-indigenousdelegation aboard theMY Esperanza, whichhas been docked in NorthVancouver for the lasttwo weeks.

Taylor George-Hollis,20, departed onTuesdayalong with members fromMusqueam, Sechelt andHaida Nations in a voyagefor Haida Gwaii.

The voyage is, in part, acultural exchange betweenFirst Nations as well asan opportunity for theenvironmental group todraw attention to oil and gasprojects that may threatentheWest Coast and globalclimate.

What Im really lookingforward to is workingwith my connections withthese three other nations,including my own, andsharing my culture andour experience alongsidewith learning about theresistance of the Shell Oilextraction, the tarsands andpipelines and LNG projectshappening within our ownbackyard, said George-Hollis.

George-Hollis foundherself invited to join thetrip after being called onto do spiritual ceremoniesand speaking engagementson the North Shore and inVancouver.

First Nations people tendto be on the forefront ofactivism because so many ofthe projects are slated to bebuild on their land, George-Hollis said, though opposingexpansion of the fossilfuel industry is somethingCanadians,Americans andFirst Nations alike stand insolidarity on, she added.

Everywhere we gopretty much is eitherunceded territory or territorythat some First Nationspeople come from so itsimportant we acknowledgethat together along withGreenpeace, which is agreat organization, shesaid. I feel like thats agreat backbone for themovement.

Upon arriving in HaidaGwaii, the delegates willmeet and with Haida Nationchief and council to sharetheir experiences beforesailing back to the LowerMainland.

Johnson said within daysofYuans death, it came tothe familys attention that Liwas drivingYuans Bentley.He said the accusedsdaughter,Yi Zhao, alsostarred in aTV reality showUltra RichAsian Girls inwhich she pretended to ownYuans assets that included aprivate island, a Rolls Royce

and aVancouver home at3333The Crescent.

Johnson said it was ex-tremely disturbing toYuansfamily that the very peoplehe supported and showedgenerosity to have shown theutmost disrespect.

OnMay 15,Yuansbrother was granted tempo-rary authority overYuansestate by the B.C. SupremeCourt.The estate has alsolaunched a lawsuit againstZhao and Li asking that the

WestVancouver mansion beturned over to the estate.

MarkThompson, anotherlawyer representing thefamily, said, Basically Mr.Yuan paid for the house.It was done to help outhis cousin and the family.Thompson said the familyhas been concerned thatZhao would use equity in thehouse to try to secure bail.

A bail hearing has beenset for May 29 in B.C.Supreme Court.

Yuan died without awill, despite having assetsthatThompson said wereestimated as being worthbetween $20 million and$25 million.Thompson saidYuan made that money inreal estate development andby investing in Saskatchewanfarmland.

In the news conference,Johnson said the family hasconcerns about the police in-vestigation, including the factofcers waited outside the

In response,WestVancouver PoliceDepartment spokesmanConst. Jeff Palmer issueda statement that read, inpart: Safety of the publicand police ofcers andsafe apprehension of anaccused is our priority incircumstances like thosefaced in this investigation.

JOHN GLEESONCoast Reporter

WestVancouverMP JohnWeston broke party ranksin the House of Commonslast week, being the onlyConservative to vote infavour of an NDP privatemembers bill on derelictvessels.

Obviously its a rareoccurrence but I decidedto vote with my constituentson the principle andimportance of the matterand not on the aws of thebill,Weston said last Friday,one day after Nanaimo CowichanMP JeanCrowders bill was defeatedin a 145-113 vote.

Crowders bill would havedesignated the CanadianCoast Guard as the receiverof wrecks and obligatedthe federal government toact when derelict vesselsare abandoned, developingregulations for their removal,disposition or destruction.

WhileWeston said hevoted with the oppositionmembers because the issueis so important to peoplein the riding, he added thebill raised concerns becauseit would have imposedunlimited liability onthe coast guard insteadof making derelict vesselowners accountable.

The bill was awed,which is why it did not get

more support, he said.Every chance I got Iapplauded (Crowder) forproling the issue, but I alsopointed out the bills aws.

Following the billsdefeat,Weston announcedhe intends to table a privatemembers bill of his ownthat would impose criminaland nancial penaltieson owners of abandonedvessels, making them subjectto jail time or a ne.Themoney raised from nes, hesaid, would fund the removalcosts.

Weston said the bill isthe results of hours andhours of hard work withstakeholders in the riding.The fact that there willbe jail time and nancialpenalties will be a strongstatement, discouragingowners from abandoningtheir vessels. Im surprised

it hasnt been done before,but I think its time peoplewere held accountable.

Crowder, however, inan interview last Friday,disagreed withWestonscharacterization of her billand argued that his approachwould not get the job done.Owners are still responsiblefor their vessels under my bill theyre responsible rightnow, she said. But quiteoften you cant locate them,or theyre dead.

Criminalizing boatowners also wont addressthe reality of Canada havinga large, aging eet and nofacilities to recycle oldervessels, she said.

Some of these ownersare destitute anyway, soyoure going to put themin jail or give them a heavyne, but it doesnt solve theproblem.The vessels are

still there.Crowder said the intent

of her bill was to designateone government entity the coast guard to dealwith the problem. Currently,wrecks can fall under theresponsibility ofTransportCanada, Fisheries andOceans or EnvironmentCanada, depending on thecircumstances.

Its a real jurisdictionalnightmare, she said.

As well, she denied thecost of removing wreckswould be imposed solely onthe coast guard.

They would try to trackdown the owner to removethe vessel, or they couldcontract it out.Theyre doingit now.

Crowder said she wouldhave to readWestons billbefore she could say whethershe would support it.

WestVan SPCAcries fowl

BRENT [email protected]

For the second time intwo months, theWestVancouver SPCA issheltering a chickenin need of a home this one deliberatelyabandoned.

Park maintenanceworkers found the roosterin a box just outsideCapilano River RegionalParks parking lot nearCamp Capilano onTuesday.

The previous owner wasthoughtful enough to pokesome holes in the box andleave some chicken feedand water, but thats stillno way to treat an animal,said Dragana Hajdukovic,branch manager of theWestVancouver SPCA. I wishthat person would haveturned to us to take care ofa chicken that they couldno longer take care of ratherthan leaving it in the park,he said. The chicken islucky it was found becausewho knows what wouldhave happened if it was leftin the elements.

Hajdukovic describedthe chicken as a juvenile about eight weeks oldand comfortable aroundhumans, suggesting itwas hatched and raised insomeones family beforebeing abandoned.

Under SPCA policy,the chicken will stay at theWestVancouver branch which also has a plethoraof cats, dogs, gerbils andbirds in need of a home

for four days before itcan be adopted out. It canonly be adopted out to acommunity that allowsroosters, however, meaningits not welcome on theNorth Shore.

SPCA volunteers pickedup a stray chicken foundpecking around inWestVancouver neighbourhoodslast month.That one turnedout to be a runaway andwas later collected by its

coop keepers. Hajdukovicsaid she doesnt expect thatto happen with this one.

I would be surprisedif they did.We would wantto talk to them, she said.If anyone cannot ordoesnt want to take careof their pet any longer, weencourage everybody toreach out to us rst.Werehere to help. Please, I wouldurge people not to abandontheir animals outside.

Clocks ticking

W ith just one week to go, lessthan 42 per cent of LowerMainland residents havebothered to mail in theirTransLinkplebiscite ballots.Thats pretty sad givenhow little effort it takes to put an envelopein a box and how the debate has beencovered ad nauseum these last months.Its now too late to request a ballot but

its not too late to dig yours out of theheap of papers ready to be recycled, ll itout and drop it off in person at a plebisciteofce.We have one at Capilano Mall andits open until 8 p.m. on May 29. CanadaPost doesnt recommend sending yourballot in by mail at this point.The region is projected to grow by

another million people.Thats not up for avote.Weve got to gure out a way to movethose people (in addition to ourselves)around and how to pay for it.

The proposed 0.5 per cent sales tax or $150 to $250 per year from theaverage household is meant to coverour portion of the $7.5-billion cost.All thats being asked is whether we

approve of this method of funding anexpansion of the system, which almosteveryone agrees needs expanding.Theonly other option is a hike in propertytaxes.Unfortunately, much of the debate has

been badly off track and some peopleseem to think this is a referendum onTransLink governance, population growth,fare gates and other things not on theballot.Whether youre votingYes or No, we

hope youre doing it for the right reasons.Regardless of the outcome when theresults are released in a few weeks, wereall in the same SeaBus together.

VIEWPOINT

Is the creation of a newclimate leadership teama sign the B.C. Liberalgovernment is renewing itsinterest in confronting theclimate change issue?

Or is this simply anexercise designed to fail?

We may know the answerto these questions as early asJuly, when the new team issupposed to hand in a draftframework for a climateplan that seeks to reducegreenhouse emissions whileat the same time expandingthe economy, includingcreating a new liqueednatural gas industry. Pullingoff those accomplishmentssimultaneously will be tricky,if not impossible.

As such, it will beinteresting to see if the threeprominent environmentactivists appointed to thenew panel stick around tosee things out.

Veteran GreenpeacecampaignerTzeporahBerman, the PembinaInstitutes Matt Horne andMerran Smith of CleanEnergy Canada are all wellknown, and given theircriticisms of natural resourceindustries in the past itshard to envision any of themagreeing with a plan thatallows for a huge expansionof those industries.

But the Christy Clarkgovernment is attached, bothpolitically and economically,to establishing an LNGindustry in this province.As this commitment wentfrom what seemed like apie-in-the-sky idea beforethe 2013 election to beingthe centerpiece of thegovernments economicstrategy, critics began

pointing out it would beimpossible for the provinceto meet its committed targetsfor reducing greenhousegas emissions by 2020 ifLNG plants started beingbuilt.And even with theestablishment of this newclimate action team, thosecriticisms have gotten evenlouder.

Green Party MLAAndrewWeaver, a climatescientist himself, says thegovernment doesnt needanother panel to tell it howto meet its climate changegoals. He has dismissed thelatest one as a credibilitybuilding exercise for agovernment whose interestin battling climate changehas waned in recent years.

Certainly, there appearsto be a world of differencebetween the governmentof former premier GordonCampbell and the oneheaded by Clark when itcomes to making the ghtagainst climate change a toppriority issue.

Campbell, you willrecall, seemed to get religionon the issue in his secondterm and brought in thecarbon tax and set those

targets for GHG emissionreductions. His governmentwas hailed around the worldas a leading groundbreakerin the ght against globalwarming.

Clark has not backedaway from those emissiontargets, at least not on paper.But you rarely hear herdiscuss the issue publicly, asshe stresses over and overagain the need to grow theprovincial economy beforeanything else.

A number of criticsthink that the only wayto effectively ght globalwarming is to actually shrinkthe economy, not grow it.This is an extremist view, butif economic growth occursand as a result it boostsGHG emissions, it gainscredence.

This is where the LNGpart of the puzzle begins toloom large.Weaver says thatHornes Pembina Institute,for example, estimates evena single LNG plant wouldgenerate 12 million tonnesof new carbon pollution,which would undo much ofany effort to reduce GHGemissions on other fronts.

The simple fact iswe cannot build an LNGexport industry governedby emissions intensityregulations like the onesproposed by the governmentand still meet our legislatedclimate targets,Weaver toldthe legislature last fall.

So how will this newclimate leadership teamsquare this circle? Can itcome up with a strategythat reduces this provincescarbon footprint while at thesame time accommodatingLNG?

The odds seemedstacked against success onthis one. And so its worthconsidering this possibility:the government changesthe emission targets set by

Campbell, arguing they areunrealistic and ultimatelyunachievable over the timeframe that has been set.

I cant see the Clarkgovernment backing away

from its all-in approach tocreating an LNG industry inthis province.

Thats the startingpoint for this new climateleadership team.Whetherit can cross the nish linein harmony seems to be amonumental [email protected]

Private liquor stores in fight for survival

MARIA [email protected]

A controversy is brewingin the wake of new changesto B.C.s liquor legislation,with local private storeoperators claiming theyrebeing squeezed out ofbusiness by governmentstores that now offer thesame convenience andlower prices.Brian Riedlinger, co-ownerof Sailor Hagars Brewpuband Liquor Store, has seenhis sales dive since thenew liquor rules came intoeffect April 1. He points tothe government store onEsplanade one block fromhis business which is nowopen Sundays and holidays,and will soon introducerefrigerated wine and beer.

While the extendedhours is good news forconsumers, its killingbusiness for family-ownedand operated shops suchas Sailor Hagars which hasbeen in the community for29 years, says Riedlinger.

My market was, we werethe convenience store andthe government is trying totake the convenience marketaway fromme.

This past Easterweekend, when public liquorstores began opening onholidays, was the rst realindication of how the newrules would impact B.C.sliquor landscape. Riedlingerreported that his sales were

down 40 per cent on GoodFriday, when comparedto the same day last year.Overall, Sailor Hagars sawa 25 per cent decline inSunday sales during April,again compared to sameperiod last year.

Its the same story inLynnValley where, with agovernment liquor store inthe mall across the street,Imroz Rupani, owner of the

North Shore Liquor Shop,says he is struggling to stayin business.

April was a tough monthnancially for Rupanisfamily who took over theshop in 2012. Business wasdown 43 per cent on GoodFriday and 37 per cent onEaster Monday, comparedto last year.With RupanisSunday sales also declining,he doesnt know how much

longer the business can carryon this way. We investedall our family savings in thisand the rules were changedwithout any notice.We weretold this industry is goingto be protected and itsclearly not the case.

Both Riedlinger andRupani have contactedgovernment ofcials to voicetheir concerns with the newliquor rules, including NorthVancouver MLANaomiYamamoto, who is theMinister of State forTourismand Small Business.Theyhave yet to hear a response.At press time,Yamamotohad not returned the NorthShore News calls.

B.C.Attorney GeneralSuzanne Antons ofce senta statement by email to theNorth Shore News that saidthe new rules are designed toincrease competition in themarket, which will benetconsumers. BC LiquorStores are now expectedto compete with privateliquor retailers and assuch, have been given amore equitable set of rulesto follow placing them atthe same starting line as theircompetitors, said Anton inthe statement.

NDP liquor policycritic David Eby said thegovernment stores are notoperating on a nancially

sustainable model.The government

commissioned a report byaccounting rm Ernst &Young to explore whatimpacts the new liquorchanges might have. Ebyhas asked Anton for a copyof that document, but hasbeen denied that request.He also led a Freedom ofInformation request.

Eby said without fulltransparency, the public isleft to speculate about thegovernments plans, whichcould be anything fromgetting out of the businessof retailing liquor to drivingsmall operators out of theindustry and selling theirlicences to large grocerychains.

Eby, who sympathizeswith small liquor businessowners, says the governmenthas a responsibility toaddress their concerns.

They are really causinga lot of grief, and in somecases damage to familybusinesses, said Eby.

As for the Ernst &Youngreport on B.C.s liquorlandscape,Anton said, in anemail, it contains sensitiveinformation related torevenue and prot margins where disclosure wouldbe detrimental to a third-party, business or a publicbody, if released.

Are you properly prepared for a hike in the woods today?INQUIRINGREPORTER

Lucille PallardVancouver

I have water in mybackpack.We have maps of thearea, ID, and proper footwear.Its important to be preparedfor a hike because you neverknow what will happen.

Christian ColquhounVancouver

I am prepared for my hiketoday. I did a hike last year(The Lions) thinking therewas water along the way ... andwe became dehydrated by thetop.

Verni BrownVancouver

We are semi-prepared,because we are doing more ofa walk than a hike.We havefood and water, and I have ajacket, solid footwear and twowhistles.

North Vancouver districtre crews andNorth ShoreRescue volunteers weretaskedwith about a dozentrail rescues last weekend.Often in these rescuecases, the hikers are poorlyhydrated or notwearingthe proper footwear. NSR isreiterating the importance ofbeing prepared for a hike ofany duration. The team talksabout having 10 essentialsfor hiking in the backcountryincluding extra clothes anda cellphone or radio able tocall for help.We asked hikersin LynnHeadwaters RegionalPark if theywere prepared tohead into thewoods today.

Ive never gotten losthere. I grew up here. Im notconcerned about getting lost inthe forest. I bring water, food,and a jacket if required for theweather.

until age 60 would makea ne Madame Arcati ifsomeone, please, wouldstage Noel CowardsBlythe Spirit. NigelVonaswas a festival standout inan unpleasant play.AndKieyellaThornton-Trump,10, won hearts inW.A.Troyers Grandpa nMe.

Still more stage: RogerNelson is as durable as theGilbert & Sullivan operettas,which this areas oldesttheatre company, NorthShore Light Opera Society,has performed for 67 years.This year Nelson is stagingH.M.S.Pinafore.

WestVancouver is theFlip City of real estate, itsprices maddest in the madVancouver area whichis yoked with London andManhattan for the priciestproperty on the planet.

Last Saturdays Sun anyone who doesnt readat least oneVancouver dailyis badly under-informed

listed 23WestVan ippedproperty prices that wouldknock your proverbialsocks off. Example: 910Braeside St., sold April 7for $2,098,000, listed sixdays later for half a millionhigher.The champ:A barelot at 1424 Sandhurst Place,sold a year ago for $3.7million, listed last monthfor $6.18 million. (In Aprila typical detachedWestVan home sold for $2.23million.)

I rst reacted withshoulda/woulda/coulda:Why hadnt I got in on thisfeeding frenzy?

Confession: Becauseat heart I believe theressomething indecent abouttreating a house withits unrecorded historyof families, of birth andgrowth and death, of talkand laughter, of murmuredlove and bitter quarrel, ofsecrets kept by its discreetwalls as just anothercommodity to be ippedup the nancial food chain,like barrels of oil or railwaystock.

Thats the kind of chumpI am.

but compare his students tothe young people in his book two generations dividedby a technological chasm.The Internet had just comeout, but sending an emailwas very novel, he says ofthe time in which his book isset. In that way the novelsquite removed, I think, fromwhats going on nowadays.

That said, many of thestruggles his characters face,

such as self-consciousnessand isolation, are sharedby todays youth andlikely exacerbated bythe widespread use ofsmartphones and socialmedia.

I think the older Iget, theres more of a gulfopening up between mygeneration and the studentsnowadays, particularly,I think, because of theelectronics, which reallywerent present during

the time period when thestorys set.

Looking ahead, Stibbardshas another work in progressand plans to continue withhis short stories.The hardestpart about writing a novel,he says, is pushing throughhis own self-doubt andovercoming the need forinstant gratication. Its kindof like gardening, he explains.You plant something, butyou dont know right away ifits going to grow.

I learned this rst-handatTokyo Disneyland.Thanks to friends in highplaces I was whisked to ahidden, secret door at thebase of the then-new BigThunder Mountain ride.Inside the bowels of theride was a hidden oasis: abar, a small movie theatrecomplete with starry sky,and a soundproof viewingwindow from which towatch the ride comerollicking by.

I got that same feelingwatching Tomorrowland,Disneys lm about analternate technologicalutopia that exists right

FILM

under our noses.Few people are granted

access to this world.Therst is a young boy, whowill later grow up to beGeorge Clooney, who isgiven aTomorrowlandbadge by a mysterious girlnamed Athena (RaffeyCassidy) at the 1964WorldFair (where, ttingly, theIts A SmallWorld ride waspremiered). Immediately,Frank claims, his lifestarted to unravel, makinghim the paranoid, cranky,doomsday-prepper he grewto become.

The other person toreceive a pin is perpetuallycurious Casey Newton(Britt Robertson). Sheremains optimistic aboutthe future despite thedoom-and-gloomsdayscenarios theyre espousingat school and the factthat her dad, a NASAengineer (Tim McGraw),is currently witnessing thedismantlement of the space

program. (As in Interstellar,the end of NASA seemsto signal the advent of theapocalypse.)

Events lead Casey topound on Franks door,asking a crazy man to tellher shes not crazy.The duoembark on a voyage throughspace, time and dimensions,complete with car chasesand a rocketship secretedinside the EiffelTower.

The future hasgured out how to marrynature with technology:Tomorrowland is a shinyisland surrounded by asea of yellow wheat elds.There are ying trains(The Jetsons cartoons ofmy youth fully realized)and Hugh Laurie, lookingdapper in leather jodphurs.

Co-written by DamonLindelof and director BradBird (The Incredibles,TheIron Giant) Tomorrowlandharkens back to severalother smart kid-centriclms like Super 8, or TheRocketeer.The nostalgiafactor will entertain parents,

the action is sure to satisfykids. Girl power gets aserious boost from Caseyand Athena: smart, brave,and unafraid to challengejaded authority gures.

Those who complainthat the movies messageof conservation and pushfor innovation is less-than-subtle need reminding thatTomorrowland is a childrenslm, after all. And anintelligent live-action kidslm with nary a fartjoke in sight is such ararity these days that somepeople dont know what tomake of it.

The movie does morethan celebrate doom anddisaster, it asks viewers todo something about it. Itsnot part of a franchise, itpeddles marvel and wonderinstead of sexualizedviolence and mayhem, andit makes youngsters andtheir parents think, whichamounts to a beautiful$190-million gamble at thesummer blockbuster craptable.

With each deliberatestroke of the piano keysRoisin Adams buildsan entrancing aurathat permeates theauditorium.

Like any instrumentalist,Adams is still a storyteller,but in the absence ofwords, she must nd a way

to maintain the audiencesinterest and evoke emotion.Thats the challenge, shesays, making instrumentalmusic accessible to people.

Without lyricssometimes you lose apercentage of listeners,explains Adams.

Her inventivecompositions, which oftenemploy an improvisationalfree-form jazz technique,

transport the audienceto Adamss etherealworld where imaginationruns free. Adding to theillusion is the mysticalname adopted by the jazzensemble, HildegardsGhost, that Adams belongsto.

Hildegards Ghost joinsa curated lineup of talentedmusicians performing atthis years JazzWaves series

currently underway at theSilk Purse Arts Centre inWestVancouver.

For Adams, a NorthVancouver native andlifelong musician, the JazzWaves event is a chance toshowcase her craft close tohome and she couldntbe more grateful.

Im honoured to be ona bill with a lot of legends,said Adams, speaking to

the North Shore Newsafter a rehearsal with herensemble last Friday.

Now almost 30years old, Adamssinnate musical abilitycan be traced back toher childhood roots inBlueridge.

I was ve years old,and all my sisters beforeme had done piano and itbecame my turn, recalls

Adams of the rst time shemet her piano teacher. Icouldnt stop staring at herhands and her bones, and Icouldnt get that image outof my head.

The revered pianoteacher instilled inAdams a good theoreticalunderstanding of music,which helped carryher through musicalcomposition classes atWindsor secondaryand later atVancouverCommunity College.

As for why shegravitated towards the jazzgenre, Adams couldnthelp but be mesmerized bythe music of a certain jazzgreat.

Its because of LouieArmstrong, to tell youthe truth, reveals Adams,adding she still has abig heart for early jazzinuencers including FatsWaller and Scott Joplin.

Adamss path toprofessional musicmaking included a stop atUBC where she studiedreligious philosophy,and psychology. Aftershe graduated Adamsdiscovered a piece of herpast that changed thetrajectory of her careerpath.

One day I found thetrumpet that was in mycloset from high school andI was like, Oh, this thing,recalls Adams.

She soon joinedThe Carnival Band, a

MUSIC

community marchingensemble and orchestrathat has become aCommercial Drive xture.While thoroughly enjoyingthat experience Adamsmade the decision tostudy contemporary jazzand keyboard music atVCC, where she wound upmeeting fellow musicianJustin Devries.

Hildegards Ghostwas born in 2013 out ofaVCC music programcompetition for the bestcontemporary composition.Adams formed theensemble along withDevries, a drummer, andElisaThorn, who plays theharp.

Adams subconsciouslystumbled upon the namefor the group during herrst week of music historyclass. She was enrapturedby Saint Hildegard ofBingen a celebratedGerman composer andtheologian who livedduring the Middle Ages.

She (Hildegard) wasa strong woman in every

sense of the word. Hermusic is just amazing. Itjust clears out your mind.It enables all meditation.It was just kind of a tip ofthe hat to her (to namethe band after Hildegard).But I dont know how shewould feel about us callingher a ghost, says Adamswith a laugh.

Hildegard was perhapswatching over the newlyformed ensemble whenthey scored top honours,along with some freerecording time, in theVCCmusic competition.

Adams channelsHildergards etherealapproach to music, whileadding a unique avourto her compositions thatis sometimes achievedthrough improvisation.For example, take thesong SomeThingsareTimeless fromHildergards Ghosts debutalbum Stories.

The use of haphazardlyplaced staccato high notesinterspersed into moodymelodies conjures upimages of an abandoned,rundown carnival.

The music itself ispretty dark and reective,describes Adams.

In the creative musicvideo for SomeThingsareTimeless, two puppetsare seen ambling aroundin a post-apocalypticenvironment, just trying tosurvive a metaphor forthe current state of affairsin the world today, explainsAdams.

I think we are allfeeling anxious in ourminds where things aregoing with global warmingand the earth reaching itslimits, she says.

Neophytes on theVancouver music scene,Hildergards Ghost(hildegardsghost.com) isgaining as much exposureas possible.They recentlyperformed at the SonicBoom Festival, a multi-daycelebration of new musicby B.C. composers.

Hildergards Ghostsnext goal is to nail downa permanent bass playerfor the band. For the SilkPurse show, bassist JamesMeger will join them.

Hes really phenomenal

for improvisation,describes Adams.

Hildegards Ghost willperform lush and uniqueimprovisational free-formjazz music on June 13as part of the JazzWavesseries.

From now until July 25jazz enthusiasts can catch astellar line-up of musiciansplaying everything fromR&B to gospel, to bluesand Latin jazz, in anintimate venue on theAmbleside waterfront thatboasts spectacular views ofthe ocean.

Multi-instrumentalistDon Hardy with the GuiltyPleasures will entertainwith a night of rockinblues music on June 20.WestVan virtuoso AmandaWood on July 23 returns tothe Silk Purse to performsongs made famous byBritish artists from the1960s to present day.

It all started with a sillylittle sketch.

Glynda Fitzgerald drewa picture of two young girlsin matching dresses, addeda sweet inscription, and gaveit to her sister as a birthdaycard. Inspiration struck andfrom there she created acollection of about 70 hand-drawn greeting cards.Thenshe taught herself Photoshopand her collection balloonedto 300 cards, which shebegan selling across NorthAmerica.

At the time, Fitzgeraldhad young children and hadrecently left her demandingjob as a script supervisorin the lm industry tospend more time at home.Designing cards was a fungig that satised her creativedrive, but without a contractwith a major chain retailer,she wasnt exactly raking inthe cash.

Five years ago, she founda solution to that problemand took a big chance.

I was just drivingthroughWestVan and therewas a For Lease sign onthe old Umbrella Shop,she recalls.The next thingshe knew, she was puttingdown a deposit on the spaceand spent the followingsix weeks transforming theAmbleside storefront at120-1425 Marine Dr. intoGlynda the GoodWitch, agift shop where she sells herown creations in addition toan eclectic mix of productssourced from around theglobe from $2 chewinggum to $150 leatherhandbags.

Her card collection,which now consists of closeto 700 designs, from genericHappy Birthdaymessagesto the more niche marketGood Luck onYour FirstMarathon, are all displayedon built-in wall shelves.

Im a bit of a craftygal, Fitzgerald says,explaining a number of herother creations can also befound in the store. One ofher more recent projects,Silver Spoon Baby, is a lineof hand-stamped necklacependants and key chainsmade from reclaimed silver-plated vintage spoons. Shesources the utensils in theiroriginal form, then smashesthem at with a hammer athome.

Its super loud whenyou do it. No one can be inthe house. I have to wearearplugs, she says. Oncethe head is at, she breaksoff the handle, les downthe rough edge and stampsinspirational sayings, suchas Do what you love orDream big, onto the faceof each pendant.

People like thembecause theyre all kind ofknobbly and each spoon isdifferent and theyre all fromdifferent parts of the world,she says.

The line also includesdog tags, wine tags andun-hammered keepsakespoons.

Meanwhile, Fitzgerald isalways brainstorming newmerchandise she could makeor buy for her seaside store.

Its my dream job,she says. I just wish I hada bigger shop and moremoney, because I could gonuts.

Coastal access for Canadian oil means an increase

of at least $5 per barrel. By getting full value for

our oil, everyone will benet. Workers will gain from

the $5.4 billion project. Oil producers will earn more

revenue for their product. And Government will

collect more tax revenue from oil producers to spend

on programs such as health care, education and

other services that benet all British Columbians.

Plus, we can invest in new training programs and

create new jobs for our youth.

By accessing worldmarkets for Canadianoil, well enjoy increasedtax dollars and yearsof employment.- Deborah Cahill, President, Electrical Contractors Association of B.C.
