AFTER more than50 years in operation,Capilano Pet Hospitalwill be closing this fall to the chagrin of bothlocal pet owners andunionized employees.

The vet clinic, whichcurrently serves around 8,000North Shore households, willofcially close its doors Sept.6 after its parent company,Associate Veterinary Clinics,a subsidiary of the Americancorporation VCA Antech, sentnotication that it would beshutting it down.

It was a very tough decisionfor us to reach, said MichaelNeumann, regional operationsdirector in B.C. for AssociateVeterinary Clinics. He said theclinic is losing money and thebuilding lease is up in the fall.You add to that the fact thatour facility is in poor condition,we dont own the facility andwe cannot continue to provideour high standard of care goingforward in that building.

The information providedby the clinic does not add upaccording to Heather Lee, vice-

THE North Vancouver woman named as thesubject of an alleged hush-money plot in emailsrelated to the provincial ethnic outreach debaclesays she has been made a victim in the scandal.

Sepideh Sarrafpour, a former B.C. Liberal caucus employeeand community volunteer on the North Shore, said she has beenalienated by friends, unable to ndwork and her reputation has beendamaged since she quit her job in September last year.

Her resignation after working for the Liberals to win supportin various ethnic communities left party organizers scrambling totry win her back into the fold.

Have (formerMLA)Harry Bloymeet with her and explain howdoing anything would damage the Premier and the party. Have himsay how we will try to nd her work and get her back involved,reads the email written by former Liberal communications managerBrian Bonney and revealed this week by the B.C. NDP.

If need be, offer her x dollars per month to do non public workup to election (developing her database of potential supporters.)

Sarrafpour conrmed she was offered a job by former MLAHarry Bloy after she resigned as the B.C. Liberal caucuss ethniccommunity liaison in September 2012.

Right away, even before the minister or the premier contactedme or my boss in the caucus contacted me to nd out whats goingon, Harry Bloy contacted me and said he wants to meet me. He hada meeting with me in downtown Vancouver in the Hyatt Hotel inthe lobby, she said. He said there is a job happening if I want to

president of combined units at the CanadianOfce and ProfessionalEmployees Union local 378, the union representing the hospitalstaff, said the information.

Weve only known about it for a couple of months, said Lee.There is no reason in terms of protability or efciency of theoperation that would suggest that the business should close.

Workers at the pet hospital unionized in September 2012and signed a collective agreement in May, before the closure wasannounced.

Pet owners were also surprised by the news the clinic will beclosing. West Vancouver resident Peggy Rowlett learned of theclosure from an advertisement by the union in the Sunday editionof the North Shore News.

I was stunned, absolutely stunned, said Rowlett, who has beenbringing her cat Charlie to Capilano Pet Hospital for more than veyears. This is the second time that we have been blindsided by thiscompany.

Rowlett said her cat was a patient at the Cat Hospital in WestVancouver until Associate Veterinary Clinics shut it down in 2008.

Im furious, she said. This is an American company. They justshut down places that they feel arent protable and thats unfair.

Andrew Irving, a North Vancouver resident, has been boardinghis cat at the hospital twice a year for the past ve years and was alsoshockedby thenews. I nd that kindof corporatementality beyondreproach, said Irving. Its a good hospital, it serves a lot of people.It makes absolutely no sense to remove a valuable resource.

Associate Veterinary Clinics bought Capilano Pet Hospital in2007, after merging the Cottage Cat Clinic on lower Lonsdale andthe Cat Hospital on Marine Drive in West Vancouver, both ownedby the same company.

Neumann said his company has bought and then shut downalmost 50 clinics across Canada, but defended those actions.

Were not in the business of buying clinics and closing them,he said. Were in the business of providing excellent care for petsand we want to have the highest standard of care in the industry andwe want to run facilities where we can do that.

According to Lee, prices at Capilano increased after the newowners took over. Lee said that prior to the new ownership, staffwere able to use their judgment and their discretion and wouldadjust prices for clients who had recurring visits, but have not beenable to since then.

TheCollegeofVeterinariansofBritishColumbia, anorganizationthat regulates the veterinary profession in the province, does providea fee guide to its members but the fees are not mandatory.

When asked if fees at Capilano had increased with his companysownership, Neumann said, Ill give you a provisional no.

There may have been some increases to the fee guide but wecertainly werent over and above any of our local competition.

Lee said the 39 staff at the clinic are still upset about the newsand are unsure about what will happen next. The staff is actuallyquite devastated by this, she said.

For now, Lee is hoping to gain community support through apetition the union has created.

We do hope they reconsider the closure, Lee said. Its almosta landmark in the community its been in business so long.

Neumann said the companys decision is nal.

AFTER maintaining the sameschedule for 60 years, SeymourGolf and Country Club isphasing out public play in abid to swing its way out of theeconomic rough.

Members of the public have beenteeing off at the District of NorthVancouver-owned course on Mondaysand Fridays since the 1950s, but stagnantmembership and the competition posedby Northlands Golf Course necessitateda change, said members of councilMonday night.

The move has been criticized forexcluding the public from a course onpublic land. But maintaining Northlandsand Seymour as competitors is not wise,according to Mayor Richard Walton andother councillors.

One of the things we always haveto be aware of is that Northlands andSeymour are two very different golfexperiences, said Coun. Alan Nixon.

Young golfers are more suited to thetougher terrain of Northlands, Walton

added. It is impossible for a lot of peopleto walk Northlands right now. Its mucheasier to walk Seymour, he said.

The club will remove public playby 2016, easing the transition byintroducing the Seymour PlayCard,which will be limited to district residentsand provide the only avenue for non-members to book a tee time at Seymour.Golfers without a PlayCard can still enjoya long walk broken up by bad arithmeticas a guest of a cardholder on Sundays,Mondays, and Tuesdays.

With health and mobility problemstaking putters out of the hands of manyclub members, Seymour has taken theunsustainable approach of boostingmonthly dues, according to Seymourclub president Greg Hope.

On average, the club loses about 50members each year. In 2012, the clubrecruited 53 new members and lost 56.

Sixty years ago this lease arrangementmade sense. Today, with Northlandsoffering . . . a public golf alternativejust blocks away, its time for a change,Hope said.

Under the new arrangement, Seymourwill be able to attract more members,allowing the club to be economically

sustainable and continue paying taxes tothe district, according to Hope.

While councils vote was unanimous,the main note of caution was sounded byCoun. Mike Little.

The new arrangement raisesSeymours annual rent from $250,000to $375,000.

If your organization doesnt reallygrow, this is a bad deal for the District ofNorth Vancouver, Little said.

While frequency of play may ratchetup during slow periods, the lift toNorthlands could be negligible, warnedLittle.

I dont know that were goingto see the bump in Northlands thatsbeen projected because their Fridays aregenerally booked up as it is.

Little ultimately cast his vote in thehopes of Seymour landing a bigger cropof members playing a greater number ofrounds.

I dont see any other way that weregoing to get the capital improvementsthat need to take place on the site, hesaid.

The new arrangement also gives thedistrict an additional 1.2 acres of parkspace.

STAFF at the NorthVancouver talent agencythat represented CoryMonteith at the time hewon his breakthroughrole on Glee are grievingthe actors sudden death.

The 31-year-old B.C. actorwas found dead by hotel staff inVancouver on Saturday.

Though she is not grantinginterviews, Elena KirschnersRED Management offered thefollowing statement Monday:

We are so saddened toconrm that the reports on thedeath of Cory Monteith areaccurate. We are in shock andmourning this tragic loss.

The BC Coroners Serviceconrmed Tuesday that

Monteith died because of a fatalcombination of alcohol andheroin. The actor had a historyof struggles with addiction.

Kirschner advised Monteithas he prepared to audition forthe show that became a hugehit and a beacon for underdogs,mists and people who just lovesong and dance.

Kirschner suggested heshowcase his musicality bydrumming on Tupperware andother items in her MosquitoCreek talent agencys kitchen.

If it werent for her, Iwouldnt have got the newshow,Monteith told theNorthShore News in 2009.

Residents can help reducerisk by making sure their yards,roofs and gutters are free ofdebris and branches that canbe turned to kindling with asingle spark.

Ernst has a warning forsmokers whose habit might beputting more than their ownlungs at risk.

Staffer cites fallout from local event

SEPIDEH Sarrafpour says she has becomea victim in the scandal. Scan this photo withLayar for video.

stay in touch and still work forBrian Bonney and Harry Bloy.

Sarrafpour stresses she didnothing wrong while workingfor the Liberals or afterwards.

Sarrafpour wouldnt sayexactly why she resigned, butshe told the North Shore Newsat least part of the reason sheleft the job was because of thefallout from an event she helpedorganize on the North Shore.

In June 2012, then ministerof state for multiculturalismJohn Yap announced thecreation of a $750,000multiculturalism grant availableto aboriginal and ethnic non-prot groups and community-based organizations. Sarrafpourwas put in charge of invitingmembers of 180 differentcultural groups to an event atthe Holiday Inn in Seymour topromote the grant on June 30.

But when groups whoapplied for the grants never

heard back from the province,they came to Sarrafpour lookingfor answers.

They were calling me non-stop saying Sepideh, we didsupport you. We did come outbecause of you but there is nogrant. What happened to themoney? and I had no answerfor them, she said.

Sarrafpour said she isisnt sure whats going tohappen next, but she blamesLiberal insiders for ruining herreputation with communityleaders after she resigned.They defamed my character.They destroyed my reputation.They said to community leadersthat I am under investigation.Basically, they ruined my life,Sarrafpour said.

After the ethnic outreachscandal went public inMarch, Premier Christy Clarkapologized for the leaked plan,Yap resigned from cabinet andseveral political staffers includingBonney resigned.

Particularly stinging for

Sarrafpour is that she supportedClark from the beginning,including during her leadershipcampaign.

The alleged offer from Bloyand Bonney was all hearsay,according to West Vancouver-Capilano MLA Ralph Sultan.Sultan, who was handed Yapsportfolio, said he was not awareof what came of the grantprogram.

Lets face it, Brian Bonneyand Harry Bloy and whomeverhave all been thoroughlydiscredited and I wouldntattach a great deal to what anyof them say, including the ladyin question, he said.

B.C. Liberal spokesmanBen James said the party isonly learning of Sarrafpoursallegations through the media.

Outing an ugly truthTHE revelations this week that

nutritional research was done onmalnourished aboriginal children,without their knowledge or consent,should horrify all Canadians.As part of their experiments,

researchers who worked for the federalgovernment in the 1940s and 1950sdenied essential food to children inresidential schools so they couldmeasurethe impacts.They believed the end justied the

means, and that sacricing the health oftheir subjects would provide an overallbenet to a greater number. But theywere wrong.Althoughresearchethicsweremurkier

then, the basic rule when encounteringpeople in need of help is that even aresearchers rst responsibility is to helpthem. These experts didnt do that.Instead, they studied hungry children

and kept them hungry to establish acontrol group.Such research would never have

been carried out on middle-class whitechildren of the time. The ugly truth isthese experts didnt consider their FirstNations subjects fully human. It was aview of the other shared by the Naziswho in this same time period conductedhorric medical torture in the name ofscience.In the case of Canadas aboriginal

people, the impacts of mistreatment atresidential schoolshasbeen long-lasting.In the wake of this weeks information,aboriginal leaders asked Ottawa tohand over records of all research doneat residential schools. First Nations areowed that and more.As Shawn Atleo of the Assembly of

First Nations said this week, the pastisnt past. Its echoes remain with us.

MY spectacular streakof correctly predictingB.C. election resultshaving been snapped atone, what excuses do Ihave?

First, I overlooked thatPremier Christy Clarkwas running not in MetroVancouver under cynicalmedia eyes, but to get alegislature seat in a bleakdesert where wine-soddenvoters snooze poolside underthe brain-cooking sun. Nota milieu that lends itself torigorous thought.

Aw, just checking the neresidents of Westside-Kelownafor their sense of humour.

Not kidding so much:Factor in the appeal toOkanagan vanity theopportunity to boast yet athird premier in B.C. history and, proof that their headsare stuffed with smarts afterall, their shrewd grasp that alegislator who also happens tobe the all-powerful premiercan bestow goodies on thelocal populace. Promise mea bridge and Ill follow youanywhere.

And now, not joking atall: Even a zealous supporterof Ralph Sultan privatelymurmured that if the WestVancouver-Capilano MLA hadsacricially bowed to let Clarkrun in his equally bank-safeLiberal riding convenientlynear her actual Vancouverresidence, her constituents and the whole NorthShore might have receivedtangible evidence of hergratitude.

Such as: Revived pressurefor a third crossing (somedistant day)? Political muscleto improve the beloved Blue

Bus service that TransLinkshort-changes with arrogantindifference? Maybe a quietword to municipal councilsto co-operate more in cost-cutting, especially concerningpolicing and rehalls?

That said, theres nodiscounting Clarks hugeWestside-Kelowna victory:62 per cent of votes cast. Buthow could I have overlookedthe chief factor that I woveinto my prediction of a Liberalwin in May? Which is: Clarksbeaming, bubbly optimism.

I dont expect Clark willreally balance the budgetand vanquish B.C. debt, orput well-paying jobs in everyhousehold. Adrian Dix ismuch brainier. So are topmembers of her caucus (andthey resentfully know it). Buta Viennese saying quotedlong ago by journalist RobertFulford comes to mind: Anillusion that makes you happyis better than a truth thatmakes you sad. Optimism maybe an illusion, but its a betterpolitical sell than dry policy.

Big differences of styleand substance aside, anotherKelowna premier, mocked by

the Opposition, media andsub-intellectuals as a blowhardand buffoon, had a similar giftfor reaching out to hopefulhearts, not analytical minds.W.A.C. Bennett, of course.

Park Royal Shopping

Centre will make a majorannouncement in threeor four weeks morereshaping of the mall that isalienating some customerswith its seemingly non-stop construction, dust andconfusing access and internalroadways.

The west end of the oldsouth mall will be transformedby 2016, starting early nextyear. A predictably (I standfoursquare behind thisprediction) glittering newstore, possibly with a fashiontheme, on the elderly ExtraFoods site will anchor thearea.

Wait for it, wait for it, apublic announcement will bemade probably in three orfour weeks. Negotiations arestill under way, Park Royalvice-president Rick Amanteatold me, and there are some

competitive reasons why wehave to keep things closer toour vest.

All tenants west of thesmall salad bar will be gone,offered space elsewhere inthe centre. Some have chosennot to relocate. A big holewas left by the abrupt closureon June 30 of Peter Black &Sons, the butcher, a 30-yeartenant. Nearby, the livelyBritish Newsagent departedin February for EdgemontVillage, leaving a boarded-updead spot.

One tenants employeesaid its rumoured that ExtraFoods last refuge of the $1crunchy French loaf, a stapleof the undersigneds diet will move to new space inthe north mall.

Loblaws-owned ExtraFoods has its loyal customersand its share of attractivespecials, and especiallyPresidents Choice brands(like its yummy giantchocolate bar). But thereslittle disputing that its yourgrandmothers grocery storein terms of the clever displayand customer-wooing thatMarine Drives Fresh St.

Market recently brought tothe North Shores highlycompetitive grocery scene.

Amantea, a well-respected,up-front gent, acknowledgesthat some customers are putoff by Park Royals relentlessgrowth. We know that thelevel of work weve done herecauses inconvenience but inthree years well have the bestretail environment we cancreate. To not do it is not anoption.

Amantea expresses strongsupport for nearby AmblesideVillages rejuvenation,which he sees benettingarea business generallyand therefore good for all,including Park Royal. Werecompeting to get greatretailers, so our competitionis with the Oakridges, PacicCentres and Metrotowns ofthe world.

The only thing faintly

competing in stupidity withthe well-funded drive tolegalize marijuana is theproposal for allowing strongdrink on beaches and streets.

Shes the boss: Clark cements hold on partyTHE summer legislativesession is now halfover, so its time forsome observations andthoughts about whatweve seen so far in thehouse:

The multitude of newfaces around the legislaturehas changed the atmospherefor the better. There are morethan 30 newbies, and perhapsbecause theyve had to spendso much time trying not to getlost in the maze of corridorsthey havent had time todescend to the level of bitterpartisanship that characterizedthe place the past few years.Lets hope this continues.

The new governmentcabinet, which has anumber of rookies, has sofar performed fairly well.Education Minister PeterFassbender has navigated theusually rocky shoals of thegovernments relationship with

the B.C. Teachers Federationfairly well, and TransportationMinister Todd Stone has ablydeected any criticism hurledat him by the Opposition.Veteran MLA Bill Bennett isnew to the energy portfolioand has his hands full withB.C. Hydro, but acknowledgesthere are problems at theCrown Corporation that needto be dealt with and not sweptunder the carpet.

One newcomer, Attorney-General Suzanne Anton, hashad a bit of a shaky start butshell have time to grow intoher role. New Health MinisterTerry Lake has already had todeal with controversy (over asmoking cessation drug) buthas weathered things well.

The NDP Opposition hasyet to nd its sea legs in thehouse. A number of veteranMLAs, no doubt devastatedby the prospects of anotherfour long years in Opposition,appear to have checked out,at least for now. Its unlikelythe NDP caucus will be re-energized any time soon, asit will probably take monthsfor caucus members to getover that unexpected electionloss. The only two memberswho seem to have their headsfully in the game right noware John Horgan and MikeFarnworth, and that may bebecause both may once againnd themselves in a partyleadership race should Adrian

Dix step down as leader.A whole bunch of issues

that dominated questionperiod and much of thepolitical debate before theelection are now mostly offthe table. Remember theNDPs constant demand foran inquiry into the sale of B.C.Rail? Goodbye! The attackson Premier Christy Clark forconstantly campaigning? Nomore. Even the ethnic memofuror, which the NDP is tryingto revisit, has lost its edge.

Speaking of the premier,she hasnt been around thelegislature much as she spentseveral weeks campaigningin the Westside-Kelownabyelection, so she hasnt hadmuch of a physical presence.But theres no doubt who isin charge, as her byelectionwin cemented her hold on herparty. Just a few months ago,people were plotting to force

her out of the job and now sheis rmly steering the ship withapparently calm waters ahead.

B.C.s rst-ever GreenParty MLA, Andrew Weaver,has demonstrated an abilityto get under the skin of theNDP. He isnt given muchopportunity to ask questionsin question period, but hedoes get to vote on things.His decision to vote infavour of the B.C. Liberalgovernments budget reallyirritated a number of NDPMLAs, who voiced theirobjections on social media.Weaver told me he voted for itbecause the election outcomemade it obvious people wanta balanced budget, so he wasfollowing the publics lead.He said he didnt necessarilythink the budget will actuallybe balanced when all is saidand done, but he was in favourof at least the concept of a

balanced budget (somethingthat sets him apart from theNDP).

Clark has been able toreward most members of hercaucus with cabinet posts,parliamentary secretaryappointments, committeememberships and caucuspositions, most of which comewith a boost in salary. TwoMLAs, however, have beenfrozen out: Moira Stilwelland Sam Sullivan. Stilwell hasbeen on the outs with Clarkfor months, and Sullivanbeat Clark for the Vancouvermayoralty some years back.It looks like Clark is not in aforgiving mood towards somepeople. I wonder whether shewill display a similar attitudeto some key people in thebusiness community whowere less than loyal before hermiracle win.

Dear Editor:Im writing in response to the July 7th letter

to the editor by Lynn Gordon arguing that weshouldnt put more resources into bike paths.

I suggest that Gordon stop and think aboutcycling and its benets. Cycling is a great wayto stay physically t (something that manypeople have a hard time making time for) and it

doesnt contribute to climate change.Im a cyclist and I use the bike paths every

day and my kids do as well. To say that theyare empty is simply false. Perhaps Gordon cantsee them whilst shes whizzing around in her(polluting) automobile.Margaret BryantNorth Vancouver

TALMAGE Wood (left) joined other campers and District of North Vancouverreghters in a water ght Sunday during the kickoff to the annual Burn Camp.

North Van reghters host 20th Burn CampAnne [email protected]

THE 20th year ofa camp for youngburn victims startedby two North Shorereghters is in fullswing at Camp Latonaon Gambier Island thisweek.

Burn Camp is a programoffered through the B.C.Professional Fire FightersBurn Fund that gives childrenwho are burn survivorsthe opportunity to cometogether for a week in a fun,safe atmosphere. The camp isbeing hosted this year by theNorth Vancouver District FireFighters IAFF Local 1183.

The camp, which kickedoff with a pancake breakfast inNorth Vancouver on Sunday,is a chance for kids to goand meet other kids who havegone through it, said ErikVogel, Burn Camp director.

Its a chance for them tohave fun and not worry aboutpeople starring at their scarsand asking them questions.

Dominic Pellett, a 15-year-old burn survivor fromLangley, has been attendingthe camp for the past fouryears. He said likes meetingnew people and hanging outwith the people Ive met therebefore.

Camp activities includeeverything from kayaking,hiking and swimming, to

skit night and arts and crafts.Campers also receive one-on-one support from counsellorsand other burn survivors.Most of the counsellors arereghters, but also includeburn nurses, doctors, andadult burn survivors.

Each cabin of around 16to 17 campers also have juniorcounsellors on hand who aregraduates of the camp.

We need them as rolemodels, said Vogel, addingthat having junior counsellorsfor the campers mean theyhave someone to relate to.

A lot of the kids willshow up wearing hoodiesand sweatpants and to themthis is the most horric thingthats ever happened and itsonly happened to them andthey think theyre disgured,Vogel said. Its huge for usto see them after a few daysrealize that they dont needto be wearing their hoodies atthis camp and eventually thehoodies come off.

The camp was started backin 1994 by Peter Hansen, aNorth Vancouver District FireFighter, and Norm McLeod, aWest Vancouver Fire Fighter.It runs for one week everyJuly and approximately 800children between the ages ofsix and 18 have attended sinceit started.

Burn survivors are foundthrough a database of childrenacross B.C. who have beenadmitted to hospital for burns.Causes range from playingwith matches and scalds fromhotwater, to accidental injuriesfrom house res, boating andcar accidents.

Well follow up withphone calls if we can buttheres a lot of kids out therethat could use this that maybewe dont know about, saidVogel.

For Pellett, camp has givenhim more condence.

Ive been more openabout burns, he said. Idont have to hide it.

Sewage cost loomsJeremy [email protected]

WHOS going to pay for this crap?Thats the question being bandied about

regarding plans for a new Lions Gate SecondaryWastewater Treatment Plant.

Slated to be in operation by the end of thedecade, the Pemberton Avenue plant would usea biological process to remove about 90 per centof dissolved material from liquid waste.

The secondary treatment process will be anenvironmental step up from the current primarytreatment, which only lters out solid material.

But the new sewage plant will come witha hefty price tag. Depending on which designis chosen, the plant could cost betweenapproximately $400 million and $700 million,adding up to a nancial strain for North Shoreresidents.

The current formula is harder on thepeople in the North Shore, said City of NorthVancouver Mayor Darrell Mussatto.

That could be eased if neighbouringmunicipalities chip in, say local politicalleaders. But lobbying for funding from othermunicipalities may be challenging, as the plantwould only benet the North Shore.

With the projected $1 billion upgrade of theIona wastewater plant in Richmond scheduledfor 2030 and other improvements slated forthe near-future, the issue of funding for largeinfrastructure projects has been hovering in thebackground for Metro politicians, according toDelta Mayor Lois Jackson.

Those of us on the south side of the riverbasically constructed the very large AnnacisIsland treatment plant, she said. Because thenorth side of the river: Richmond, New West,Burnaby, Vancouver, werent a part of that, I

guess wed have to look at that in terms of whatfairness is.

Asking for too much from nearby cities maycause an impasse, according to Jackson.

Mussatto said hes still hopeful a new, moreequitable funding system could be devised.

Were hoping that we can come up witha formula that recognizes the contributions ofthose municipalities that gave a bit more lasttime: the Burnabys, the Surreys, and the NewWestminsters.

While the North Shore did not pay as muchfor the Annacis plant, that was partially due tothe changing formulas that have been used todetermine sewage costs, he said. Were tryingto get one formula like we do with water, forexample. Water, its all one region, its all oneutility, we all pay the same, Mussatto said.

For the last two decades, the benetingmunicipality has typically shouldered about30 per cent of the capital costs of a secondarywastewater plant, but that formula may berevised, according to RichmondMayorMalcolmBrodie. My guess, Im sure there will be someregional absorption of the costs, he said.

The price tag will weigh heavily whendesigning the treatment plant, said Mussatto.

A third stage of tertiary treatment is designedto remove contaminants missed in the secondarystage, but Mussatto said that may be too pricey.

Because of the low elevation of the new site,critical equipment will be positioned severalmetres above the existing grade or otherwiseprotected, but District of North VancouverCoun. Doug MacKay-Dunn still has concerns.

I think the decision to locate at that site iswrongheaded. If you look at the recent eventswith Toronto and the New Jersey hurricane,Im concerned about climate change, rising seawater levels, extreme weather, he said. Imtold by the engineers involved, they assure methat everything is wonderful, but I still have mydoubts.

The nal design should be decided on by theend of September, according to Mussatto.

n Kathleen Edwards, tonight at 8:45 p.m. atJericho Beach Park, part of the 36th annualVancouver Folk Music Festival, July 19-21.Lineup, schedule and tickets: thefestival.bc.ca.

Erin [email protected]

LAST month, on the day KathleenEdwards was to take the stage atTorontos Massey Hall for a specialconcert honouring Joni Mitchells 70thbirthday, she experienced a moment ofpanic when the shows organizers told herthey were short a song in the eveningsprogram and wondered if she might beable to help them out.

In the weeks leading up to the Luminato Festival,a two-night affair which also featured performancesby Herbie Hancock, Rufus Wainwright and GlenHansard, Edwards had been rehearsing Cold BlueSteel and Sweet Fire and You Turn Me On Im aRadio fromMitchells 1972 record For the Roses.Under the gun, she realized she had just the song:Big Yellow Taxi, which shed been singing since age12 at summer camp.

To stand on Massey Hall stage and sing that songand have a crowd of people who also have had JoniMitchell be the soundtrack to their lives sing alongwith you is kind of a crazy moment, says Edwards,reached Monday from her Toronto, Ont. homebase.

That moment is among the many career highs thesinger-songwriter has recently been celebrating in lightof marking an important milestone this year, the 10thanniversary of the release of her debut album, Failer.

Edwards is revelling in the achievement, countingher blessings, and moving forward with a renewedsense of purpose and commitment to her craft as 2013comes on the heels of what proved to be a tumultuousyear in her personal life.

Last year saw the release of her fourth record,Voyageur, which was critically acclaimed and shortlistedfor the Polaris Music Prize (Edwards second timereceiving the honour); however, behind the scenes,Edwards, who was on the road constantly, wasstruggling.

I was really proud of the record Id made, youknow, but I was really depressed and felt like I hadntachieved what Id hoped to. And then I sort of startedthe new year feeling a lot better for a few reasons andwas recovering from depression and suddenly hadthis far happier outlook and realizing, wow yeah, 10years ago I put out my debut record and Im still hereand Im still in it and my name means somethingto people. Ive done good work and I haventcompromised and I havent done everything right, butIm still going and Im ready to keep going. Last yearI felt like, well, I should just quit, so it feels like a niceanniversary.

Like the Mitchell concert, exciting opportunitiesare continuing to come Edwards way. For example,it was announced Tuesday that she and Shad will hostthe Polaris Music Prize Gala set for September. And,Edwards is pleased to be making her debut appearance

at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, which runstonight through Sunday at Jericho Beach Park.

Playing festivals is kind of a dream, especially whenyou see who else is on the bill and they end up beingfriends of yours, she says.

Artists featured over the course of the weekendinclude Steve Earle and the Dukes, The Cat Empire,Natalie Maines, Cold Specks, DeVotchKa, LaetitiaZonzamb and Loudon Wainwright III.

Edwards will take the stage tonight along withSierra Leones Refugee All Stars, The Littlest Birds,Lena Anderssen, Hayden, Aidan Knight, Mo Kenney,Delhi 2 Dublin and Hannah Georgas, a close friendand collaborator of hers. I might get up with herand do a song and Im going to get her to come upand sing with me. . . . I think the world of her, saysEdwards.

The women will get another opportunity to sharethe stage tomorrow morning at a workshop entitledSongwriters Caf at 10 a.m., also featuring JustinRutledge and Del Barber. Edwards is slated to performat a second workshop at 1:30 p.m. Saturday withSam Baker, Reid Jamieson and Whitehorses MelissaMcClelland, entitled The Story Behind My Song.

I obviously am a really emotional and sensitiveperson and songwriting has been my outlet for dealingwith things from pain comes art, says Edwards. Istruggled a lot in my young life with a lot of upheavaland my parents moving around a lot. In retrospect itreally weighed on me, it was hard. I just fell in lovewith songs, they became like my companions and I

MUSIC

Nicholas M. PescodContributing Writer

SARA Watkinsremembers her rsttaste of bluegrass was ina pizzeria.

My parents took us whenwe were little to go see thisbluegrass band Bluegrass Etc.that played every Saturdaynight at a pizza parlour nearwhere we lived, she says.What got me into it waswatching their interactions onstage and the improvisationand the fun that they had upthere.

Eventually, Watkinsgrew to love the regularperformances and wanted tobecome a performing artistherself.

I thought I could do thistoo, Watkins says. WhatI loved about it was thiscommunity around it as well.

By the time Watkins waseight she was already singingand performing in front ofaudiences with her brotherSean, and Chris Thile as amember of Nickel Creek.

Nineteen years later,Watkins will be performing at the VancouverFolk Music Festival this weekend at JerichoBeach Park in Vancouver.

I am really excited actually, she says. Ihavent been to Vancouver in quite some time.Ive heard nothing but great things about thefestival and I am really excited to bring myband up there.

Watkins career began as a member ofthe Grammy Award-winning bluegrass bandNickel Creek. For 18 years and seven months,Watkins performed all over the world with herbrother and Thile.

It was great. I loved my time with NickelCreek, she says. I was eight when the bandstarted and I was 27 when we did our farewelltour. It was incredible. That was my life and ahuge learning experience as far as music andtouring, and how to be a touring musician.

In 2007, Nickel Creek decided to callit a career after receiving four Grammynominations and the Grammy Award for BestContemporary Folk Album in 2003.

We just needed a break, Watkins says.We didnt have time to do anything else. Ithink we were just exhausted a little bit.

It didnt take long for the ddler to embarkon her own solo career. In 2009, Watkinsreleased her rst solo album titled SaraWatkins and says she has no regrets aboutdeparting from Nickel Creek.

I stand behind that decision 100 percent, Watkins says. Im twice the musiciannow as I was then.

Former Led Zeppelin bassist John PaulJones produced Watkins eponymous EP, afterhe inquired about working with her.

He approached me about producing therecord. I thought he was just being really niceand complimenting me, she says.

He was the perfect man to produce thatrecord. My goal for that record was to nd mypersonal musical home . . . and I didnt wantto make any rash decision in terms of where Iwas going to go musically, she adds.

The Californian says the biggest challengefrom transitioning from a band to a soloartist was starting over and not having a teamaround.

The biggest change for me was startingover again, she says. The biggest changewas taking care of myself, without this team ofpeople that had helped me in Nickel Creek.

I think it has given me a lot of ght and alot of strength that I didnt have before, sheadds.

Watkins latest album, Sun Midnight Sun,was released in May of 2012 and featuresFiona Apple.

I love Fiona, she is great, Watkins says.Shes been a part of the Watkins FamilyHour, which is a show weve done in LosAngeles for 10 years now. Fiona has been amember of the family for years now. Whenevershes in town she comes and plays a couplesongs.

Apple is featured on Watkins song Yourethe One I Love, which was originallyrecorded by The Everly Brothers. She saysworking with Apple was an intense experience.

The Everly Brothers recorded it rst andI was listening to it and I thought this songshould be a little more intense and I wantedto sing it with a girl. I immediately thought ofFiona, she says.

It was the most intense things Ive everhad in terms of focus. We sang the songtogether looking at each other, she adds.

Watkins wrote many of the songs on SunMidnight Sun when she was touring. Shewould often begin writing them and thencomplete them when she returned home.

When I would get home I would look atthem and be able to dig in a little deeper andnish them.

nRed 2. Directed by DeanParisot. Starring BruceWillis, John Malkovich,Mary-Louise Parker, ByungHun Lee, Anthony Hopkinsand Helen Mirren.Rating: 6 (out of 10)

Julie CrawfordContributing Writer

OLD age shouldburn and rage at closeof day, according toDylan Thomas, and theRetired and ExtremelyDangerous crew takeheed.

Its every baby boomersdream, isnt it? Who wantsto hang out in a caftan andslippers all day when you canhunt down international killersin Jimmy Choos?

Thats certainly Sarahs(Mary-Louise Parker) pointof view. Franks (Bruce Willis)retirement from the CIA, thenfrom escaping the CIA, isnta turn-on. She eyes the othersad, thoroughly domesticatedcouples at Costco and you can

almost see her brain composingthat Dear John letter.

Not to worry: directorDean Parisot wastes no timein dipping into the lmspyrotechnics budget, in a scenewhere Franks paranoid buddyMarvin (John Malkovich)meets his maker . . . maybe.

Frank reluctantly trailsSarah with him as he susses outa safe place to lay low. Frankand Co. have moved to thetop of Interpols hit list for

their supposed part in leakingsensitive MI6 documents,ones that point to an A-bombsomewhere in Moscow. Theyspring the bombs creator(Anthony Hopkins, fabulouslyaddled and evil in turns) from ahigh-security prison in Londonto help them nd it, but notbefore Frank has a run-inwith an old ame, Frankskryptonite (Catherine Zeta-Jones, clearly having a ball).The race to catch a terrorist

momentarily gives way to arivalry for Franks affections, astoryline that is abandoned toosoon.

Old pal Victoria (HelenMirren) calls from the U.K.and gives them a head start:shes been hired to takethem out. Mirren gets theopportunity to spoof herOscar-winning role as thequeen in one amusing bit.

MOVIES

Songs and gags keep mood lightIn another, Victoria lazily swings a seamed-stockinged leg in the air while prone andshooting an assault rie, much to the delightof Russian lothario Ivan (Brian Cox, brieyreprising his role from the rst Red).

Also on the hunt is Han (Byung Hun Lee)the worlds greatest killer. Han is a rock-star assassin and comes complete with his ownjet. Lee is clearly here to satisfy the under-30demographic and to liven up the ght sceneswith his impressive martial arts skills: onehighlight involves a nifty sequence where Hantakes on an entire police squad while shackled toa fast-food fridge door.

The whole operation ultimately depends onthe somewhat ditzy, frequently petulant Sarah.If she lives, itll be good for your relationship,observes Han.

The villains are reliably nasty (David Thewlis,Neal McDonough) and the body count is high,but lmmakers are careful to keep things lightwith graphic novel-style scene transitions andthe likes of Helen Mirren chatting away on thephone whilst she dissolves one of her kills in acid,You Cant Always Get What You Want playingat Marvins funeral, and even the old is-that-a-stick-of-dynamite-in-your-pocket? gag.

Elsewhere AC/DCs Shoot to Thrill servesas the backdrop for chase scenes, ght scenesand guns, guns and more guns. Filmmakers aimto add interest with frequent jumps to exoticlocales, which only prevent any real interactionbetween the characters from taking place. Thelaughs are there, but only just; the story isnothing new. Mirren does her best but everyoneexcept Lee seems tired, which may dampenaudience enthusiasm and the chance of a thirdRed instalment.
