Last days of IlluminaresWith their “eyes on the stars and feet on the ground,” Public Dreams has decided that this year’s Illuminares Lantern Festival will be its last. After 25 years, it’s going to celebrate how far it’s come and how many lives it’s lived. On July 20, everyone’s invited to arrive at John Hendry Park at six and, as the sun sets and the day’s light grows dim, enjoy a picnic, play a game and build a lantern for the procession around Trout Lake at 9:30. As the organizers say, “Join us as we journey through time and space, navigating our history using the stars as signposts… We will look back with fondness and forward with grace.” Go to PublicDreams.org for details.

Kokoro at Wreck BeachIf there are any performers who are perfectly suited — birthday suited, that is — for Wreck Beach, it’s Barbara Bourget and Jay Hirabayashi (pictured) of Kokoro Dance. Clad only in full body white make-up, they are presenting two installments of Wreak Beach Butoh at Vancou-ver’s only clothing-optional beach. On July 20 at 9:45am and July 21 at 10:30am, they’ll be at the foot of the #4 Trail (below the UBC Museum of Anthropology) for a “raw encounter with earth, sea and sky.” The performances are tied with the tides so no two performances are the same, with “Mother Nature providing the stage, lighting, soundscape and costumes.” Performances take place, rain or shine and admission is free (sug-gested donation of $5). Already an unwritten rule of the beach, photography and recording of any kind is strictly prohibited. Rob Newell photo

Factories & AlleywaysThe warmth and rawness of the Canadian land-scape will radiate off the stage of the Biltmore Cabaret in glorious three-part harmony, when Vancouver folk band Factories & Alleyways releases its highly praised debut album, ‘Canadiana’. Travel across the country as vocals echo off the Rock-ies, piano parts ripple across the Great Lakes, and energy builds like a Maritime storm. Mixing the vivid imagery of historical storytelling with the best of Canadian music traditions, Factories & Alley-ways could very well be lured on a tour away from the West Coast, so catch them still stomping their stomping grounds July 20. Doors at 7:30pm; 2755 Prince Edward. Tickets $15 at Redcat and Neptoon Records. Supplied photo

From ‘Canadiana’ to CanadiansThere’s a reason Natalie Maines, Loudon Wainwright III and Kathleen Edwards are called headliners: because it’s their names dominating the headlines for the 36th Vancouver Folk Music Festival. But the beauty of the festival is that, among the 66 artists from around the world, there are countless opportunities to discover the next big thing from around these parts. Canadian highlights include Vancouver’s Juno-nominated Han-nah Georgas; Manitoba’s alt-country artist Del Barber; and Ontario’s Polaris Music Prize-nominated goth-gos-pel sensation Cold Specks, Elvis Costello-esque Danny Michel or acclaimed roots rock duo and real-life couple Whitehorse, to name a few. July 19-21 at Jericho Beach Park. For ticket and schedule information, visit TheFes-tival.bc.ca. Joe Perez photo

Fancy hats, mint juleps and thundering horsesSee and be seen at the fashionable Deighton CupBy Sabrina Furminger

If you’ve got a hankering for the pomp and pag-eantry of an old-school Southern derby, you’ll find it at Hastings Racecourse the weekend of August 9.

The event is the Deighton Cup, a whirlwind two and a half days of high fashion, food, bubbly liba-tions, mint juleps, and socializing (with some horse racing thrown in for good measure).

It’s a lifestyle festival where socialites, foodies, cocktail enthusiasts, young entrepreneurs and fun-loving Vancouverites don dapper hats and intricate fascinators and converge in one place to see and be seen, says Tyson Villeneuve, who co-produces the Deighton Cup with Dax Droski and Jordan Kallman.

“We really wanted to recreate an old-fashioned day at the races, kind of like the Kentucky Derby used to be before it became a giant tailgate party,” said Villeneuve. The Deighton Cup began five years ago with a single dress-up party, and expanded last year into a fully immersive weekend where the emphasis is on elegant dress and fancy fun.

In a city known for an easy-breezy, casual ap-proach to life in general and style in particular, an event steeped in refined elegance might seem like a hard sell, but Villeneuve says Vancouverites are hun-gry for just this type of experience. “There is a deep yearning in this city for stylish, sophisticated events with a casual chic attitude, especially within the younger demographic,” said Villeneuve, who also co-produces the Vancouver edition of the equally fashionable Le Diner en Blanc.

The Deighton Cup kicks off on Friday night with The Big Smoke, an evening of scotch, bourbon and whiskey tastings, cigars, a pig roast dinner, and nighttime racing.

Saturday afternoon is Thoroughbred, the an-chor of the Deighton Cup weekend. Party-goers sip champagne and cocktails, enjoy live jazz and funk, peruse vintage luxury automobiles, feast on canapés, and either surreptitiously or unabashed-ly people-watch because Thoroughbred is when

stylish Vancouverites truly bring it on. “I’ve come to anticipate that some women have literally flown to London to search for hats to this event,” said Villeneuve. “People now understand that there’s a standard of, ‘we’re definitely getting dressed up,’ and they’re having a lot of fun with it.”

Adding Southern-style authenticity to this year’s Thoroughbred will be Miss America 2013 Mallory Ho-gan. Capping off the weekend: The Julep, a mint julep mixology competition in which Vancouver’s brightest bartenders present creative twists on an iconic drink that is synonymous with horseracing culture.

The Deighton Cup isn’t just about swilling juleps and reveling in throw-back fashion; there’s also an honest-to-goodness horse race. The actual Deighton Cup is a repurposed vintage 1927 horticultural trophy that Vil-leneuve and co. salvaged from an antique shop.

The names of two types of winners will be engraved on the cup: the horse and jockey who win on the track, and the party-goer who rises above the others in the style department. “The guests in and of them-selves become a large part of the spectacle because everyone is just so into it,” said Ville-neuve.

For tickets and full schedule, visit DeightonCup.com.

PUBLIC NOTICERECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT

This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act.

Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013.

The Title of the Initiative is:An initiative to amend the Police Act.

Summary of Initiative:The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

Opponent Registration:Individuals or organizations who intend to incur expenses as opponents must apply for registration with the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, August 12, 2013. Registration applications for opponents are available from Elections BC.

Individuals may only sign the petition once, and must sign the petition sheet for the electoral district in which they are registered at the time of signing. Signed petitions are available for public inspection.

For More Information:The initiative application and draft Bill are available for public inspection on the Elections BC website and at the Elections BC office at the address below.

Stacks of hats of all shapes and textures garnish the walls and vintage furniture at the Goorin Bros Hat Shop

in Yaletown. Names like Mario Scar-rone, Mr. Lawford and Farmer Pete introduce themselves like charac-ters in a novel, all with their own traits, speaking on behalf of the person who picks them up.

Some of these very hats will be protecting the heads of men enjoy-ing the horse races at the annual Deighton Cup Weekend, run-ning (lame pun intended) August 9 to the 11. And while it’s easy

to throw on a baseball cap, the Deighton Cup and other formal attire situations require a more refined choice.

“You have to try a bunch on until you find something that not only suits your proportions, but suits your style,” says Shani Bates, Goorin Bros shopkeeper and chapeau aficionado. “That’s an in-ternal thing — who you are — and an external thing — your clothing and fashion statement. It’s deeply personal.”

Bates says — holding an open-weave straw fedora called the Atsushi, made from a light paper straw called toyo — to keep the weather in mind when choosing a

hat. During a hot weekend like the Deighton, find a hat that’s light in material and colour.

But let’s be real; at a distin-guished, almost voyeuristic event like the Deighton Cup, the hat is more about style than practicality.

The fedora“A lot of the horse racing, fashion traditions were born out of the ‘30s and ‘40s when we wore our brims wide and our hats tall be-cause we were so used to wearing hats — you didn’t leave the house without a hat on,” she explains. “Now we’ve kind of moved onto the fedoras with stubby brims, as small as you can get. The pork pie

fedoras are very popular right now.” Bates turns to the arche-typal straw Panama. “When you’re wearing a Panama, wear it with a classic loafer, and you would have a very classic style.”

The flatcap“We sell a lot of [flat] caps because they’re a little less of a commitment and you can crush them and put them in your pocket,” she says, handing me the floppy Simon (think newspaper boy from the ‘30s). “They’re also a lot

Guys, hang onto your hats!

more universal and more useful in your everyday wardrobe, whereas the Panama, you wear might two months of the year, because they shouldn’t go in the water and they might look a little out of season.”

The flatcaps are their most popu-lar style for men in Vancouver.

“It’s the next natural step up from a ball cap, which is very popular because we are a sporty, active city. It’s good in the rain; it’s like wearing a wool pea coat on your head.”

The red lineSo what’s a sure sign that the hat is not a good fit? That all-too-common red line you see on guys’ foreheads.

“A lot of people think their hat should be really tight,” she says, “because they picture themselves

where the wind is blowing and obviously you don’t want to lose your hat. But you want it to be in this money zone of being snug but not too tight. Tight is the head-ache zone and within five minutes, you’re going to develop that em-barrassing line on your forehead.”

Why put the effort in?Bates says the opposite sex defi-nitely pays attention to a good hat.

“When you put in a little more effort, a little more time choosing a nice hat, people, girls notice,” she says. “Those little choices say that ‘I’m put together, I’ve put some effort into this. I want to look good and I care about myself.’ It can help inspire a lot of confi-dence too and I’ve seen people put on a hat that they love and their whole face lights up.”

By Kelsey Klassen

What does a plate of sausage and eggs, a lobster, and a bed of roses have in common? They’d all look completely appropriate adorning the top of your head at Vancouver’s “weekend at

the races”. You might think all the action at a horse race is on the

track, but at the Deighton Cup, now in its fifth year, there will be some stiff competition in the stands of Hastings Racecourse for most elaborate chapeau.

And that patronage — that foundation of respect for the occasion, that little extra effort — in an sport steeped in prestige, is providing a generation of Vancouverites who are hungry for tradition with the boldness to set the mark higher each year.

After all, it takes more than crisp mint juleps and a good looking stable to join likes of the Royal Ascot (the posh and protocol-rich races in My Fair Lady), Kentucky Derby (“the most exciting two minutes in sport”) and Melbourne Cup (a public holiday in the Australian city) in the fashion lexicon.

So how do you simultaneously fit in and stand out at the races? Look no further than couture milliner Dominique Hanke.

Hanke, 31, arrives at the Italian Garden near Hastings Racecourse. Hat boxes at arms’ length and her two adorable children, Bracken and Oscar, in tow, she should be looking flustered as she walks the last block. But perhaps it’s the low profile dusky rose beret sitting atop her asymmetrical, blonde ‘Agyness Deyn’ crop keeping her cool.

She’s an expert on hats. Not because she’s originally from Staffordshire, England. Or because she trained in architecture before teaching herself the art of millinery and starting her company — Hive Mind. Or because made a name for herself in a city that prefers ball caps to bowlers. But because she’s rarely seen sans hat. To love hats is to wear them. Often.

• “I couldn’t not wear one. I dress from head to toe, and for me, that just makes sense. We focus on all of the acces-sories; well, a hat is on your head so it can make an outfit and pull it all together.”

• “Things like the Deighton Cup obviously have huge im-pact [on local fashion]because people get the opportunity to

wear hats and, for a lot of people, the first time you wear a hat, other than a sun hat, is kind of unusual. It takes getting over that first step. To wear some of the more outrageous pieces, it takes a type of person, but it’s also a lot of fun. It’s about dressing up for the day — almost like taking on a character. And it’s about embracing the attention.”

• “Vancouver associates itself with being quite practical. I think the younger generations are trying to create events that encourage dressing up and stepping out of that box.”

• “Millinery has seen a definite shift and people re-embrac-ing that art. It sort of started off with the little trilby-fedora types. Now people are getting into the poofy fascinators. And then people will want to take it further and further.”

• “Stephen Jones has such an eclectic collection. I just love the fact that he doesn’t stick to the rules. Philip Treacy

[whose muse Isabella Blow is a good place to start for inspi-ration] — talk about architecture within hats. Some of his stuff is so beautifully structured.”

• “Be wary for the people around you. Some hats are quite vicious. The ones with the porcupine quills — there have been some very nasty accidents with those!”

• “Wide brimmed hats, with the wire running through them for a bit of structure, are definitely in. With men’s hats there is a bit more going on. Bowlers, more in Europe than here, had a bit of a resurgence. And the many different styles of fedoras.”

• “A smaller face, you’re not going to want to go for anything too big because it will oversize you. Oval faces are pretty blessed and can get away with most things. And then anybody with a round faces is not going to want anything too small, because you’re going to look like you’ve got the cherry on top. Length of face will determine how tall the hat can go.”

• “If you think of a big poof of feathers and a bit of net and veil, that would be a fascinator. Generally they’re on a band. A whimsy is generally on a base. It’s a bit bigger. For instance, at the Royal Ascot they changed the rules last year for what a hat was — the base has to be more than four inches. They were having a lot of people coming in with just the fascinators and they wanted people wearing hats. There is a certain glamour to wearing a hat, and it was diluting it — taking away from something that is an art and making it a little more crafty. Part of it is the celebration of millinery and getting dressed up.”

And there’s a reason this article is coming out this week; the lead time on getting a custom hat made is conveniently two-three weeks. So apologies to racing fans who were hoping for some advice on which horses to box in their trifecta, but hopefully August 9 through 11, these tip-of-the-hats will see you leaning over the rail, yelling “C’mon Dover! Move yer bloomin’ arse!” in style.

Hats off to the Deighton Cup

Moses Znaimer says you’re a zoomer and you should join CARP

By Martha Perkins

When Moses Znaimer set Citytv loose on the streets of Toronto, it was a game changer. With their hand-held cameras, youthful zeal and edgy

reporting, the videographers shook up the city’s media scene. Then he added MuchMusic in 1984, instantly getting a young, hip audience to spend as much time watching tv as they were listening to their music on their Walkmans. He chose one of his early proteges, Jeanne Bekker, to be the face for Fashion TV.

But do the math. Citytv was launched in 1972. That’s 41 years ago. The teenagers who watched the first music videos are now getting into their 50s. The twenty-something hipsters who rejected the larger networks’ stodgy news reporting are now in their sixties. Inside, they’re still the same people on the look out for what’s new and interesting, but they’re also aware that their bodies are aging and they’ll have to think about where they’ll live when they can no longer cope with daily responsibilities.

Znaimer is now 71 and, with a wee bit of hubris, he has come up with the term zoomers – Baby Boomers with zip (and a Z for branding.) The word “senior” is anathema to him.

As well as being the founder, president and CEO of ZoomerMedia, he’s now the president of CARP — Canadian Association for Retired Persons — and, after buying the company that published CARP’s magazine, has rebranded it as Zoomer.

“People always assumed that when he started

MuchMusic they were powerful because they were young. He said they were powerful because they were many,” says Carmen Ruiz y Laza, a well-known Vancouver personality who’s helping Znaimer increase CARP’s profile in British Colum-bia. Currently, CARP has 30,000 members in BC.

And there’s no bigger demographic in Canada than Baby Boomers, the people born during Cana-da’s economic growth spurt following the Second World War (1946 to 1964.) They account for about one-third of Canada’s population.

Ruiz y Laza met Znaimer socially in 1999 and then helped facilitate the CRTC intervention that brought Citytv to Vancouver. A former casting director who now owns her own PR company, she was a producer for Citytv’s Breakfast TV and has remained friends with Znaimer, who has an apart-ment here and often visits friends and family.

“He’s so calm and so intense and so clever,” she says of him. “He’s kind and he actually cares.”

Znaimer rebels against the notion that you have to stop doing anything when you turn 65, whether that’s working, or being active, or wanting to learn. He encouraged Toronto lawyer and outspoken society watchdog Susan Eng to become CARP’s vice-president of advocacy. “She’s in there chang-ing laws,” says Ruiz y Laza.

In BC, Znaimer is also reaching out to zoom-ers through his television station, JoyTV, which is based in the Fraser Valley. “He wants to integrate multi-culturalism into main street media, not make it separate,” Ruiz y Laza says. “If you look at the faces he puts on TV, it’s always been multi-cultural. He’s been the first to give people a chance, not because he had to, but because he wanted to.”

She encourages Baby Boomers to “join us in changing things for the better for all Canadians.”

Aging with Pride411 Seniors Centre and West End Seniors Network host Pride parties

By Martha Perkins

Thirty years ago, the 411 Seniors Centre was established in the government office build-ing at 411 Dunsmuir to make sure seniors got access to all the services that were avail-

able to them.As information about those services started to be

shared more and more online, staff and volunteers helped seniors, many of whom didn’t even know how to turn on a computer, navigate their way along the information highway.

That’s not the only way the centre has learned how to adapt its services. Ten years ago, there was a bit of a “kerfuffle” when the centre hosted its first Pride Party but a few of the members went ahead anyway. No one questions the need to celebrate today. On July 30, the centre is hosting its 10th Ag-ing With Pride party at its current location at 333 Terminal.

From 1 to 3pm, seniors are invited to enjoy im-prov comedy group The Bobbers, sing along with Barbara Shaw and test their knowledge in the trivia contest. There will also be a sandwich and dessert luncheon. A $5 donation is suggested.

LGBT seniors broke through the barriers of preju-dice and stereotypes in the past and some of them are having to do it all over again now that they are older, says the centre’s program and volunteer co-ordinator, Alexandra Haines. As they age and move into seniors residences, they sometimes encounter hostile staff on whom they rely.

“They become closeted again because they are being taken care of,” says Haines. “It’s part of one’s identity to have that freedom [to be yourself]. To have that taken away would be so depressing.”

For more information about Aging With Pride or the centre’s services, call 604-684-8171 or email

[email protected], the West End Seniors Network,

Qmunity, Haro Park Centre and Gordon Neigh-bourhood House are organizing a G(r)ay and Glamorous social and dance at Barclay Manor on August 1 from 5 to 8pm. An RSVP at 604-669-5051 or programs at WESN.ca would be appreciated.

They are also arranging a vintage bus, courtesy of the Vancouver Transit Museum Society, to carry seniors who might not want to walk the entire length of the Pride Parade on August 4. To register to march and/or ride with them, contact Bonnie at Qmunity’s Generations Project at [email protected] or 604-684-8449.

“Grandpa, I’m in London with my college roommate. We were robbed last night in a pub and now I have no money to get home.”

One of the most common consumer scams is when the scammer poses as a friend or family member in trouble, often overseas, and requests that money be sent.

The Better Business Bureau has tips on how not to be fooled. (First rule? Do not wire money to a stranger you have not met in person.) Go to mbc.bbb.org.

Today we’re playing customs official, and giving Dan-ish clothing brand

Minimum our entry stamp of approval. Established in 1997, the brand’s twisted sense of Scandinavian coolness has arrived in our country for the first time. While the clothing is now here, unfortunately label founder Peder Tang was not. We caught up with the designer by email from his hometown of Aarhus:

Is there a distinctly Danish element to your designs? I think what typically charac-terizes Danish, and Scandi-navian, design is that it is very simplistic — in a good way that is.

Does Minimum have a signature that you incorpo-rate into every season? We are especially proud of our outerwear, knits and shirts, so every season we make an effort to be the best in the market at those categories.

Describe the SS13 collection: We have been very inspired by Christiania, the free town of Copen-hagen. Christiania is such a colourful place with a cool and casual vibe where all people are allowed to be just how they are and express themselves in their own way. So the SS13 collection is also very colourful and with exciting prints — in sweats and denim as well as leather and camouflage.

What are some big Danish influ-ences for you? Other than a cultural pearl like Christiania, which is great fun and very excit-ing to visit, Denmark also has a very beautiful coastline. I enjoy it especially in the wintertime be-cause it is so dramatic — it shows Denmark from a rugged and raw side that I really like. I also enjoy the Danish mentality. We have been named the happiest people in the world, and I don’t know if that is quite true, but we do like to have a good time whether it is with snaps and herring or a beer in the sun. But what I think is maybe the most exciting about Danish culture at the moment is the film industry. We are very proud of the success Danish mov-ies have had abroad, being nomi-nated for Oscars, among others, several years in a row now. It is amazing how a small country like

Denmark can be a frontrunner in a big business like the movie business. I would like to think that we can do the same in the fashion industry.

What similarities can you draw between your city and ours? Vancouver is actually very similar to Aarhus. Both cities are close to the sea and forests while at the same time offering a buzzing city life. What more can you ask for? Also the atmosphere is very similar to each other — very relaxed with young people walking down the street with a cup of coffee in their hand. So I feel very at home in Vancouver.

Minimum SS13 is available at Board of Trade, 227 Union St | Minimum.dk

Danish ‘Minimum’-ism

Danish brand Minimum is now available in Vancouver.

Spotted at KhatsahlanoIt’s called Local Art Collective, and their mission is simple: promote local artists by selling clothing with designs created by local artists, submitted by local artists, using fair trade clothing (American Ap-

parel) and printed here in Vancouver. With every Local Art Collective shirt purchased, 15 per cent of the selling price goes to the corresponding artist.“I don’t want to name names,” says LAC’s Alex Gray, “but there is some real artist exploitation in the clothing industry. We’ve done our homework, and this 15 per cent return-to-artist, if you will, is a sustainable business model.” LAC had its official launch at Khatshalano Festival, and has a collabo-ration in place with American Apparel (3070 Gran-ville) on July 20 from 7-10pm, with artists Ryan Milbourne, David Ullock and Tylor McMillan.

Wide-plank birch laminate flooring is included throughout the main living areas, with carpeting in the bedrooms.

The bathrooms could be featured in a spa, with their deep soaker tubs, ceramic tile bathtub and shower surround and modern white or wood-grain cabinetry.

Buyers are able to choose between two designer colour schemes, and each suite includes a laundry area with a washer and dryer, for an extra little bit of convenience.

The South Main neighourhood has been growing rapidly over the past few years, and Shine is perfectly situated to take advantage of all the amenities the area has to offer. You will be within walking distance of schools, shopping, dining and transit, as well as leisure and recreation opportunities. Vancouver’s Olympic Village and the SeaWall are nearby, making it easy to get a bit of outdoor exercise if you’re in the mood. There are also several yoga studios and parks, along with two community centres within easy reach.

You’ll also find a large outdoor courtyard with a seating lounge, fire pit, barbecue area and portable outdoor movie screen on the property itself, as well as a rooftop deck with gorgeous city views, and an expansive lobby.

Living the bright life at Imani Development’s Shine

By Kerry Vital

Surrey’s Guildford neighbourhood is quickly becoming a vibrant place to live, work and play. Now, G3 Developments is adding to the excitement with G3.

With three buildings and 155 condominium suites in a range of studio,

one-bedroom, one-bedroom-and-den and two-bedroom floorplans, three is definitely a lucky number for G3, located just steps away from anything you could possibly need.

“You can walk to everything,” says sales manager Margaret Bird. “There’s easy access” to the rest of the Lower Mainland via the Port Mann Bridge, along with the convenience of living near Guildford Town Centre and the Guildford Recreation Centre and Library. You’re also within walking distance of parks, schools, shopping and restaurants, and just minutes away from Surrey City Centre by car.

The homes at G3 are spacious and modern, with stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms and a convenient eating bar perfect for a quick bite in the morning or as a place to gather while entertaining. The ceiling mount

track lighting and pendant lights in the kitchen easily illuminate your tasks.

The bathrooms feature a quartz backsplash to complement the countertops, as well as wall mount vanity lights, soaker bathtubs and semi-frameless glass shower stalls and a sleek undermount sink.

Buyers can choose between two designer colour schemes, Sterling and Onyx. The homes include nine-foot ceilings (higher on the top floors), laminate hardwood flooring in the main living areas and lush carpeting in the bedrooms, along with a stacking front-load washer and dryer and storage and parking for every home.

Residents will also have access to the G3 residents lounge, which will include a gym, fireside lounge and a guest suite, among other things.

The biggest draw for buyers so far has been the value they get for their money.

“These price points are attractive,” Bird says, adding that first-time buyers have been particularly interested. She has also seen long-time area residents looking at the homes as part of their downsizing plans.

“They want to live near their kids, but not actually with them,” she says.

The first phase, called Premiere, has been selling well and Bird notes that buyers there will be able to move into their new home in March 2014. The second and third phases, Encore and Finale respectively, will be completely finished by next summer.

Homes at G3 start at $139,900 for a studio, $169,900 for a one-bedroom and $219,900 for a two-bedroom. For more information, go to g3living.ca, call 604-588-8238 or visit the showroom at 10439 154th Street, Surrey, open every day except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

Submitted photosThe homes at G3 include stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and spacious open floorplans. The project will encompass three buildings, with all construction expected to be completed by next summer. Residents will also have access to a residents lounge with a gym, fireside lounge and a guest suite, among other amenities.

Actual 4th Floor View

vancouver

By Kerry Vital

The PNE Prize Home has been around since 1934 and is an integral part of the annual summer event. Now, the 2013 home is showcasing exactly

why everyone loves this lottery.“We’re really excited about this year’s

home,” says PNE spokesperson Laura Bal-lance. “This is the most affordable home lottery in British Columbia and there’s a lot of anticipation around it.”

For the second year in a row, the home is being decorated by interior designer Jillian Harris. She has starred on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, hosted Canada’s Handyman Challenge and is currently co-hosting Love It or List It Vancouver.

“Jillian did a fantastic job last year,” Ballance says. “It’s (wonderful) to have her back.”

This year’s home is over 3,000 square feet, designed and built by Britco. After someone wins it, it will be relocated to Sun Peaks Resort.

The home is built in an open-plan style, with a large greatroom and gorgeous French doors to the exterior decks.

“It’s perfect for entertaining,” says Tom Faliszewski, manager of special projects for Britco.. “It has a very spacious feel to it.”

He’s not exaggerating. With its 10-foot ceilings on the main floor and nine-foot ceilings on the upper floor, the home feels incredibly open and airy.

Once relocated, the home will be right next door to last year’s PNE Prize Home, also built by Britco. The location is truly one of the best parts of the home, since it will feature stunning views over the ski and snowboard trails, surrounding mountains

PNE Prize Home an iconic B.C. tradition

On Friday, July 12, The Fair at the PNE opened the doors to its 79th annual PNE Prize Home for the first of six preview days ahead of The Fair. This is a unique opportunity for a sneak peek inside the mountain style home that brings both comfort and design to-gether to perfectly capture the essence of its final destination – the beautiful mountains of Sun Peaks Resort. The other preview days, 10am to 4pm, are July21, 28 and August 4.

OVER 25 SALES THIS YEAR SO FAR!

and valley.This year, Britco put the master bedroom on the main

floor, and included a huge upper deck on the second floor with a hot tub and a covered area that Faliszewski says is almost like a completely separate living or play space. The master ensuite features a huge stand-alone claw-foot tub, along with a gorgeous walk-in shower with rain shower head.

The kids and even adult guests will enjoy the bunk room that holds four bunk beds and plenty of space to play. A pool table is part of the prize package, furnished by Coast Spas Lifestyles. The furniture and accessories are also part of the home, from Lane Home Furnishings. The winner will also re-ceive appliances from Coast Wholesale Appliances, luxurious outdoor furnishings from American Home & Patio, a $2,500 grocery package from IGA and one year of house cleaning from Mini Maid.

One of the most impressive parts of the home is the con-temporary glass walk-in wine cellar in the foyer. Faliszewski also notes that there is an indoor-outdoor fireplace in the greatroom that you’ll want to curl up in front of at the end of the day.

“The deck (on the lower floor) wraps all the way around the outside of the house,” he says. “You can walk through the main rooms and then into your bedroom.”

Tickets for the home can be purchased online, via phone at 604-252-3688 or toll-free at 1-877-946-4663 or at the Fair at the PNE itself between Aug. 17 and Sept. 2. The winner will be drawn on Sept. 5. You can preview the home July 21, July 28, and Aug. 4. PNE.ca/pneprizehome.

Open sun., July 21, 2-4pm609-518 West 14th Ave

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19): The 19th-century composer Gioachino Rossini was a proli� c creator who produced 39 operas. So con� dent was he in his abilities that he bragged he could set a laundry list to music. I trust you will have comparable aplomb in the coming weeks, Aries, since you will be asked to do the equivalent of composing an opera using a laundry list for inspiration. This will be a different challenge than making lemonade out of lemons, but it could be even more fun and interesting.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20): Is the grass really greener on the other side of the fence? Or is its more vivid hue just an optical illusion caused by your inability to see the situation objectively? Judging from my analysis of your current astro-logical omens, I suspect that you’re not deluded. The grass really is greener. But it’s important to note the reason why this is true, which is that there’s more manure over on the other side of the fence. So your next question becomes: Are you will-ing to put up with more crap in order to get the bene� ts of the greener grass?

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20): You know the voice in your head that’s kind of a sneaky bastard? The voice that sometimes feeds you questionable advice and unreliable theories? Well, I suspect that this voice might be extra active in the coming week. But here’s the weird thing: It might actu-ally have a sound idea or two for you to consider acting on. For once, its counsel may be based on accurate intuition. So don’t completely lower your guard, Gemi-ni. Maintain a high degree of discernment towards the sneaky bastard’s pronounce-ments. But also be willing to consider the possibility that this generator of so much mischief could at least temporarily be a source of wisdom.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22): We keep mil-lion-dollar works of art in well-guarded museums. Meanwhile, beautiful creatures that took nature eons to produce don’t get the same care. At least 5,000 animal and plant species are going extinct every year, in large part due to human activi-ties. Among the recently lost works of art are the Madeiran Large White butter� y, West African black rhinoceros, Formo-san clouded leopard, golden toad, and Tecopa pup� sh. I’m asking you not to allow a similar discrepancy in your own life, Cancerian. The astrological omens say that now is a perfect moment to in-tensify your love for the natural world. I urge you to meditate on how crucial it is to nurture your interconnectedness with all of life, not just the civilized part.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22): Hurry up, please. It’s time. No more waf� ing or procrasti-

nating. You really need to � nish up the old business that has dragged on too long. You really should come to de� ni-tive decisions about ambiguous situa-tions, even if they show no sign of reso-lution. As for those nagging questions that have yielded no useful answers: I suggest you replace them with different questions. And how about those con-nections that have been draining your energy? Re-evaluate whether they are worth trying to � x.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22): “This morn-ing I walked to the place where the street-cleaners dump the rubbish,” wrote painter Vincent van Gogh in one his letters. “My God, it was beautiful.” Was he being ironic or sarcastic? Not at all. He was sincere. As an artist, he had trained himself to be intrigued by scenes that other people dismissed as ugly or irrelevant. His sense of wonder was fully awake. He could � nd meaning and even enchantment anywhere. Your next as-signment, Virgo — should you choose to accept it — is to experiment with seeing the world as van Gogh did.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22): I believe you will undergo a kind of graduation in the next four weeks, Libra. Graduation from what? Maybe from a life lesson you’ve been studying for a while or from an institu-tion that has given you all it can. Perhaps you will climax your involvement with a situation that has made big demands on you. I suspect that during this time of completion you will have major mixed feelings, ranging from sadness that a chapter of your story is coming to an end to profound grati� cation at how much you have grown during this chapter.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21): What’s your favourite sin, Scorpio? I’m talking about the mischievous vice or rebel tendency or excessive behavior that has taught you a lot. It may be the case that now and then this transgressive departure from normalcy has had redeeming value, and has even generated some interesting fun. Perhaps it puts you in touch with a magic that generates important changes, even if it also exacts a toll on you. What-ever your “favorite sin” is, I’m guessing that you need to develop a more con-scious and mature relationship with it. The time has come for it to evolve.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21): The Sag-ittarian writer and artist William Blake (1757-1827) made drawings of many eminent people who had died before he was born. Julius Caesar was the subject of one of his portraits. Others included Dante, Shakespeare, and Moses. How did Blake manage to capture their likenesses in such great detail? He said their spirits visited him in the form of apparitions. Really? I suppose that’s possible. But it’s also important to note that he had a ro-bust and exquisite imagination. I suspect that in the coming weeks you, too, will have an exceptional ability to visualize

things in your mind’s eye. Maybe not with the gaudy skill of Blake, but potent nevertheless. What would be the best use of this magic power?

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19): How close do you really want to be to the people you care about? Think about this with unsentimental candor. Do you prefer there to be some distance? Are you secretly glad there’s a buffer zone that prevents you from being too profoundly engaged? I’m not saying that’s a bad thing. It might be correct for who you are right now. I merely want to suggest that it’s important for you to know the exact nature of your need for intimacy. If you � nd that you actually do want to be closer, spend the next four weeks making that happen. Ask your precious allies to collaborate with you in going deeper.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18): I love your big, energetic thoughts. I enjoy watch-ing as your wild intuitive leaps lead you to understandings that mere logic could never produce. I have bene� ted many times from the Aquarian tribe’s ability to see angles no one else can discern. In the immediate future, though, I hope you will be a specialist in analyzing the details and mastering mundane myster-ies. I’ll be rooting for you to think small and be precise. Can you manage that? I expect there’ll be a sweet reward. You will generate good fortune for yourself by being practical, sensible, and earthy.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20): Is it a river or a creek? Is it a mountain or a hill? It’s important for you to decide questions like these — preferably on the basis of the actual evidence rather than on wishful thinking. I’m not saying that the river is better than the creek or that the mountain is better than the hill. I simply want you to know that it’s important to be clear about which it is. The same principle applies to other experiences you’ll soon have. Is the catalytic person you’re dealing with a tempo-rary friend or a loyal ally? Is the creation you’re nurturing just a healthy diversion or is it potentially a pivotal element in transforming your relation-ship with yourself? Is the love that’s blooming a transient pleasure or a powerful upgrade that’s worth working on with all your ingenuity?

Balcony boorDear Neighbour who loudly talked on your bal-cony Sunday night/Monday morning: At 4:30am, I do not want to be able to hear your entire conver-sation. I don’t care about who did what to whom. The fact that someone actually had to yell at you to shut up, and you did for a while, until your phone conversation at 7-ef� ng-am about how many shots you had at work and what tight pants you were wearing. I don’t need to hear that. Maybe YOU don’t care about bothering people, but the rest of us who have to listen to your rude self DO. A little bit of respect for the people who live around you and are trying to sleep goes a long way.

Drive me crazyWe hear drivers vent their anger on bipeds and bicycles; however, these same ignorant drivers are often the ones who fail to obey a GREEN light, i.e. proceeding through an intersection when it is UNSAFE to do so. These drivers not only put them-selves in harm’s way, they create an obstacle for others to proceed (legally, the other drivers, cyclists and pedestrians must wait for the non-compliant vehicle to clear the way), to say little at all about blind drivers triggering their horns, achieving little at all except to aggravate the matter further. Also, I think it’s time to make Robson all four-way lights; southbound traf� c on Robson fails to note that the east/ west bound traf� c has a signal crossing, whereas north/south traf� c has only a stop sign, thus generally creating near collisions with the much faster traf� c on Robson as they attempt to crawl across.

Live from Vancouver it’s...Monday Night Live at East of Main Café raises funds for Project Limelight, which Cory Monteith’s family names as one of three memorial charities

By Sabrina Furminger

It’s standing-room-only in East of Main Café on this sunny Monday evening in late June.

The air is thick with anticipation as the diners sip wine and share plates of spiced al-

monds, hummus and labneh. From the sidewalk in front of the bustling East Georgia establishment, a small crowd observes the goings-on inside through enormous picture windows.

On both sides of the glass, they’re waiting for the trio of bar stools at one end of the room to be filled by talents from the BC film and TV industry. Tonight, as with previous Mondays, the triple-bill is top-notch: writer-producer Gillian Horvath; casting director Candice Elzinga; and actor-director Peter DeLuise.

The event is Monday Night Live, the brainchild of East of Main Café co-owner and casting director Maureen Webb and actor Ryan Robbins (Sanctuary; Falling Skies). Since the inaugural event this past Spring, the bar stools have been occupied by a who’s who of local industry folk, including Brent Butt,

Moderator Ryan Rob-bins, Amanda Tapping, agent Vickie Petronio, and executive produc-er Curtis Burch listen to feedback from the audience at a recent Monday Night Live at East of Main Café. The Project Limelight fundraiser is every Monday night and features tales from the both sides of the film and TV cameras. East of Main photo

Amanda Tapping, John Cassini, and Michael Eklund.

From their perches atop the bar stools, the showbiz pros share true stories with an audience that includes emerging and established actors, direc-tors, agents, producers, film students and fans. “Different people come for different reasons,” Webb says. Admis-sion is free but space is limited and the events aren’t recorded; if you’ve missed it, you’ve missed out.

Each Monday Night Live has a theme. On this particular evening, the theme is lessons. Elzinga shares a defining motto from her childhood: “Go as far as you can see, and you can see further.” Horvath provides a glimpse inside a TV writer’s room

and mind. DeLuise has the audience in stitches with anecdotes from his career and marriage before serv-ing up the following: “When you pretend you know something you don’t know, you cut yourself off from learning.” Throughout the establish-ment and on the sidewalk outside, there’s a steady stream of applause and laughter.

It’s storytelling for a good cause: every penny raised at Monday Night Live (be it from food and beverage sales or a donation jar) benefits Proj-ect Limelight, a performing arts pro-gram for children and youth living in Vancouver’s lower income neighbour-hoods. (BC-raised actor and Glee star Cory Monteith, who passed away last

weekend, was a vocal and passionate advocate for Project Limelight. The Globe and Mail reported that he had dinner at East of Main last Thursday night and discussed what more he could do to help raise funds for Project Limelight. This past Monday’s event was postponed because of his death.)

A large chunk of the cash collected at Monday Night Live is directed to feeding the Project Lime-light kids at rehearsals. “We don’t ask if kids are hungry; we just assume that they are,” said Webb, who founded Project Limelight and East of Main Café with her sister, Donalda Weaver. “It’s fuel.”

While the goal never changes, the actual event transforms from week to week. “Sometimes it gets really heavy, and sometimes it feels like a party,” said Webb. “And some of it’s more focused on the business. I love that it changes all of the time.”

The idea for Monday Night Live sprung from a conversation Webb and Robbins had at his birth-day party at East of Main Café. Today, the casting director and the actor are a dynamic program-ming duo with a lengthy list of industry contacts between them. “He knows the people that I don’t know,” said Webb. “And he’s really passionate about Project Limelight because he comes from a very strong arts background himself.”

And in the end, that’s what Monday Night Live is all about: the kids. “It allows me to tell the story [about Project Limelight] repeatedly, sometimes to the same people over and over,” said Webb. “They’re going to know.”

On Tuesday, Cory Monteith’s family named Project Limelight as one of three memorial charities in his honour.

The best oyster shucker is...

Want to know how to tick off judges Robert Clark, Pino Posteraro, and Chris Field? Give them an oyster that doesn’t slip out of its shell once it’s

flipped over. It sounds harsh, but when $5,000 is up for grabs, every detail counts and these judges aren’t willing to let anything slip… well, except for the oyster meat.

July 14 was Bearfoot Bistro’s 3rd Annual Shuck-ing Championship and 2nd Annual Bloody Caesar Battle at the World Oyster Invitational in Whistler. Proceeds from the event went to WAG (Whistler Animal Galore) and Playground Builders to build two children’s playgrounds in Afghanistan.

The world’s best oyster shuckers from Denmark, Sweden, Japan, United States, and Canada were invited to compete for $5,000. After three heats and a final round with the top four oyster shuckers, Eamon Clark from Rodney’s Oyster House in Toronto took

home the big money. His father is Rodney Clark (the Rodney in Rodney’s Oyster House), so like father, like son.

Eighteen competitors were given 30 oysters of different sizes (10 Eastern oys-ters, 10 European Flat Oysters, and 10 Pacific Oys-ters) and scores were determined by shucking time, shucked appear-

ance, presence of shell, grit, broken shell cup, meat cut, and detaching the muscle from the shell. It was a shucking intense battle and I feared someone would lose a finger.

Each competitor had their own technique. Whether it was staying low to the table, stand-ing upright, using gloves, taping fingers, or in the way they lined up their oysters, this was serious business. It was interesting to see most of the non-Canadians shucking from the hand while most Canadians shucked on the table. The four finalists were all Canadian and kept close to the table.

Third place was a tie with Jason Nagy from Mon-treal and Bob Skinner aka “Oyster Bob” (last year’s winner) from Ontario. The very confident Daniel Notkin from Montreal, who even snapped some iPhone photos of his oysters after beating his com-petitors, came in second. Vancouver contestants included Ian Peck from The Fish Shack and Issac Martin Del Campo from Rodney’s Oyster House.

At what I call the “Oyster Olympics”, being a

spectator is delicious and beneficial. I probably got my year’s worth of magnesium and this natural aphrodisiac had everyone in a good mood.

Along with the entertaining competition, at-tendees feasted at oyster bars sponsored by Sawmill Bay Shellfish Company, Chef Melissa Craig’s hors d’ouevres from The Bearfoot Bistro, champagne (of course, it’s The Bearfoot), vodka, wine and original Caesars from six imaginative bartenders.

The winner of The Bearfoot Bistro’s Bloody Cae-sar Battle was Scot Curry, bar manager at Alta Bistro in Whistler. His winning Caesar, called “Smokey Brutus”, featured horseradish and chipotle-infused Ketel One vodka, clarified heirloom tomato gaz-pacho, beef jus, pickling liquid from garlic scapes, lemon, cedar smoked mason jar, a smoked paprika, sea salt, fennel and cumin rim, and a duck fat poached oyster chorizo with a homemade pickle on a skewer as a garnish.

For $48 a ticket and four hours of music, food, drinks and entertainment, The Bearfoot Bistro World Oyster Invitational and Bloody Caesar Battle is a do-not-miss summer event. And if you missed it, then mark your calendars for next year.

When I realized the depth of respon-sibility I carried in my role as a food reporter., I made a goal to centre my career passions of food and din-

ing around well-informed, healthful, and ethical broadcasting. Getting to know these individuals, witnessing their passion, experiencing their superior products and learning about the work that goes into their quality food, make it nearly impossible to stock my kitchen with mass produced goods.

When I throw a dinner party, I enjoy sharing sto-ries about where the food came from, who made it, and what ingredients were used. For example, what a difference can be made by choosing an exquisite,

quality, hand-made product like Bella Gelateria gelato. Good food provides endless conversation.

I keep a list of all the new restaurants and food items that I want to try in my iPhone. My perfect day includes visits to mul-tiple locations on my list. There’s nothing better than a day spent hunting for ‘to die for’ food. Here are just a few of my favourites...

The method to my madness

By Kurtis Kolt

CityCellar

A few days ago a friend asked me how I choose what wines to write about for my column. As I responded to the (quite valid) query, I realized that I’ve never really

shared my editorial philosophy in these pages. With-out further ado, here’s the method to my madness.

Those who regularly read this column may have taken note that my background is in restaurants. For almost 20 years, I’d worked the Vancouver beat, from bussing at The Fish House In Stanley Park to serving at Cin Cin, eventually ending up managing and running the wine program at Salt Tasting Room. I always enjoyed it when various publications asked me to write a paragraph on a favourite wine for the season or similar recommen-dation. Eventually I started getting semi-regular writing gigs, which provided the launch pad for me to become a freelance wine guy a couple years back. Writing is now about a third of what I do, alongside consulting with restaurants on their wine programs, presenting seminars and events, a little competition judging and so on.

Since I didn’t come of age in this realm through a traditional route, I like to take a slightly atypical, more casual approach to covering the wine scene. I also don’t ‘review’ wines that come my way, deal-ing with scores and such. With what I do, I have the opportunity to try plenty of wines in various arenas and have gotten to know a slew of cool wine folks. If I’m enthused by something or someone, I like to share my enthusiasm.

That, really, is the crux my gig here. While, yes, I do get sent wine samples, there’s no guarantee or obligation that I’ll write about them. In fact, I’ve found I’m more likely to share wines that I come across on my own, whether a dinner party discov-

ery, assessing potential new wines for a restaurant wine list, or when attending tastings around town. I do have friends in the industry, from winemakers to agents, but there are certainly no free rides. Will I share a particular wine of theirs if I love it and think you, the reader, will enjoy it? Totally. Will I do them favour for a wine I think not completely worth your while? Nope, never. Trust me, I have a good number of friends who’ve never seen a drop of ink from me. I’d much rather just deal with that occasional awkwardness than jeopardize any trust you may have in my endorsements.

While unsolicited samples don’t always make their way to these pages, that can be a worthy op-

portunity to try something new. As an ex-ample, I recently received a bottle of BC’s Nk’Mip 2010 Talon ($22.99, BC Liquor Stores), made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec. I’ve always been somewhat indifferent to the brand, usually finding their wines ‘cor-rect’ but rarely tugging at the heartstrings. Immediately following my first whirl of this wine, I began offering mea culpas to anyone who’d listen. What a lovely, lovely bottle; well-balanced, complex, full of dark

fruit, chocolate, pepper and gleaming minerality. The little bit of age ties everything together, mak-ing it sing. At 23 bucks, it’s an incredible value and I’m so glad it’s now on my radar.

So while this is little behind-the-scenes peek into how this column works, it’s also evidence that not only will it help you find great wines, but it obviously does the same for me, too.

GOLD WINNERReaders’ Choice

2013

ONLY GOD FORGIVESStarring Ryan Gosling, Kristin Scott ThomasDirected by Nicolas Winding RefnEvery year at the Cannes Film Festival, one � lm emerges as everyone’s favourite whipping boy. This spring, it appeared as though a number of critics were suffering some reviewer’s remorse over the effusive praise they lavished on Nicolas Winding Refn’s neon-hued, extremely violent Drive in 2011. Consequently, they attempted to balance the scales by panning Refn’s neon-hued, extremely violent Only God Forgives.

It seems quite likely that once calmer heads have prevailed a few years down the line, the Danish director’s latest will be seen for what it is: another fever-dreamt, two-� sted offering from one of con-temporary cinema’s leading visual stylists. Further-more, by penning his own screenplay on this oc-casion, Refn has ensured that he needn’t reconcile his singular sensibility with anyone else’s.

Consequently, as Julian (Drive’s Ryan Gosling, once again playing a posable, taciturn action � gure) acts on his mother’s (Kristin Scott Thomas) orders to exact vengeance on his brother’s killer (Vithaya Pansringarm), we’re treated to a proces-sion of immaculate, abstract depictions of Bang-kok’s glamorous underworld, no-holds-barred grudge matches, and affectless karaoke. As always with Refn, the formal beauty of his compositions contrasts the brutality contained within them.

Admittedly, this isn’t a � lm suited for those who are prone to � inching. However, during the summer blockbuster season when the vast majority of multiplex offerings are all too eager to please, there’s something inspiring about a � lm that comes at you, chin jutted out, just daring you to take a swing. The world needs more directors like Refn who are spoiling for a � ght. — Curtis Woloschuk

(Opens July 19 at the Rio.)

THE ACT OF KILLINGDirected by Joshua OppenheimerIn the wake of Indonesia’s 1965 military coup, death squads executed a million citizens accused of being communists. Joshua Oppenheimer’s aston-ishing, incendiary documentary not only gives the cold-blooded killers enough rope to hang them-selves with, it also convinces them to turn their lynching into a surreal pageant.

In a bold example of utterly fearless � lmmak-ing, Oppenheimer travels to Indonesia and offers the former mercenaries — who proudly identify themselves as “gangsters” — the opportunity to shoot a movie that details their bloody exploits. Welcoming this chance to celebrate their gory glory days, they alternate between staging bizarre reenactments — that run the gamut from hard-boiled pastiche to outlandish musical numbers — and proudly recounting their barbaric torture techniques.

What strikes you most during these interviews is their casualness as they recall heinous acts with a warm nostalgia. Few � lms can rival The Act of Killing for its pervasive sense of wrongness. Watch-ing events unfold, you feel as though you’ve been plunged into a surreal parallel universe in which reality has been warped and distorted: where talk show audiences consist solely of uniformed para-military forces and human rights are something to be mocked.

However, in the case of Anwar Congo — who claims to have killed a thousand men with his bare hands — the reenactments from the � lm-within-a-� lm slowly lead to reevaluation and, ultimately, reckoning. In turn, we watch something remark-able occur as art suddenly becomes an instrument of interrogation. In the � nal scenes, Oppenheimer’s camera holds on Anwar, mercilessly refusing to re-lent until it’s broken him. It’s a devastating climax to one of the year’s most powerful � lms. — Curtis Woloschuk

(Opens July 19 at Vancity.)

PACIFIC RIMStarring Charlie Hunnam, Idris ElbaDirected by Guillermo Del ToroMaking a $190-million Hollywood movie that is not a sequel or based on an existing franchise is a tough sell. Nobody knows this better than Guillermo Del Toro. The Mexican � lmmaker is no stranger to critical acclaim (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hell-boy 2) but massive box of� ce success eludes him.

Therefore, it’s no surprise his latest monsters vs. robots epic Paci� c Rim is a gamble. Based on a story from Travis Beacham, the sci-� action adventure begins with a concise prologue — gargantuan inter-dimensional aliens have been unleashed from a portal deep beneath the Paci� c Ocean, and man’s only hope for survival is to defend

the planet using gigantic, human-powered robots, piloted by two people whose minds are joined in a neural bridge.

The action in Paci� c Rim is staggering but well-composed; unfortunately, the movie comes up short in the human emotion department. Special effects-driven sequences have never looked better; Del Toro stages some truly breathtaking scenes and captures the scale and scope of the dueling titans seamless-ly. However, the � ick gets bogged down by clunky, heavy-handed dialogue reminiscent of Top Gun, a clear sign it was catered to 12- to 15-year-old boys.

The characters are so hollow, even Charlie Hunnam’s intensity and Idris Elba’s magnetism can’t rescue the lukewarm script.

It’s an above average summer popcorn movie that ends up feeling a little generic, something Del Toro fans will � nd disappointing.

Weekly Pride Profile

WHY DO WE MARCH?By the Canadian Olympic Team

For a cause, for a celebration, because there is strength in numbers. We march because we’re excited, because we’re motivated and because we’re brave.

Every two years, when Olympians march under the banner of sport, we are commemorating the Olympic values of Friendship, Respect and Excellence. Every Olympian has earned the right to be there, regardless of whom they love.

On this, the Olympic Charter is clear: the practice of sport is a human right and everyone should be able to play and compete, free from discrimi-nation of any kind. However for many athletes – during and after the game – that is simply not the case.

For many LGBT athletes, discrimi-nation, shame and a life of silence is a common reality both in and out of competition.

From ignorance comes fear, and from the fear comes the ugliness that keeps too many athletes from being their best, simply because they extend too much energy and time pretending to be someone they aren’t.

We know this has to change, and in Canada, step by step, it will. And it is.

This is why members of the Canadian Olympic Team will be marching in Pride Parades across

the country, including right here in Vancouver.

As Canada’s Team, we are leading the charge of Canadian athletes, coaches and sport organizations demonstrating the power of sport in uniting individuals and opposing discrimination of any kind.

Together, we will ensure our pools, arenas, fields and sport at all levels are safe and welcoming spaces for all Canadians.

Why do we march? We march to remember. And we march to progress.

On behalf of the Canadian Olympic Team, congratulations on another amazing Pride.

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities.

Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in.

Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats.

Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help.

Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

West 4th is ‘open for business’By Martha Perkins

For months, vehicular traffic along the popular West 4th shopping strip was complicated by the

presence of municipal crews upgrading the sewers and other infrastructure. Roads were torn up, delays were frequent and driv-ers tended to avoid the area.

Last Thursday, representatives of the West 4th BIA, the mayor’s office and Brand Live gathered

to applaud the early completion of the work, just in time for last Saturday’s Khatsahlano festival.

“West 4th is open for business and better than ever,” Mayor Gregor Robertson declared.

The street is one of the city’s gems, “a fantastic place for peo-ple to shop and enjoy,” he said, adding that 200 city personnel were involved in the projects.

“There’s no question it was difficult for businesses but the city’s team was fantastic,” said West 4th BIA president Susan

Braverman. Businesses were kept informed and the work was seamless, not to mention com-pleted ahead of schedule.

The West 4th infrastructure project included

storm and sanitary sewer mains

and service connections

and curb-to-curb paving-

tion, bus pads and wheelchair ramps
