Simplicity scores TKOMichael Edward Miller’s parents probably worried he was playing too many video games when he was a kid. Worry no more. Today, the young Vancouver artist has taken his passion for his Nintendo entertainment system and turned it into an escape into that less com-plicated time in his generation’s life. His new one-day pop-up exhibit, Punch Out!, based on the characters from the Mike Tyson game, is Sept. 21 at East Van Studio (870 E. Cordova) from 4 to 7pm. He admits to having to dig out his old video game collection to play a few games to enable him to get the images just right (who said research couldn’t be fun?). Creating each of the 25 brightly coloured pieces in the exhibit, however, required much patience. “It looks simple but simple has to be done perfectly,” he told Shaw TV. MichaelEdwardMiller.com

Women celebrate their sense of self in burlesque By Martha Perkins

Nicky Ninedoors remembers watching her first burlesque show. “[The dancer] was totally revered and put up on a pedestal,” she says, awed by the power exuding from

a woman who was taking her clothes off in front of other people because she wanted to.

Today, that sense of sensual power exudes from Ninedoors’ every look, every pose. “It’s the sense of here I am, it’s all of me, and no, you can’t have any of it — but for five minutes I made you think you

can,” she says during an interview at the Roundhouse commu-nity centre, where she will join other Van-couver burlesque art-ists at Beerlesque, the Roundhouse’s major fundraiser, sponsored by Donnelly Group and Vancouver Craft Beer Week, on Sept. 20 from 6 to 10pm.

At last year’s event, she did a reverse strip tease. The lights came up on her in an imaginary boudoir. She was naked (except for tassles, of course) and, as her husband

played bass, she sang In a Sentimental Mood as she slowly put on her beautiful dress — which was her wedding dress — and left the stage.

Burlesque is “incred-ibly liberating,” says stylist and performer Kristi Johanson.

Glamour + artistic free-dom: what’s not to like, says Nicky Ninedoors. Rob Newell photos

She smiles at the thought of the performance she’s come up with this year.

Sitting next to her is Kristi Johanson, a fellow burlesque performer who also owns East Vanity Parlour, a mecca for women who love the glamour of the up-do with a little pin-up girl thrown in. Johansen styled Nicki’s hair for the WE Vancouver cover photoshoot and is also performing, as Callio P. Cock, at Beerlesque.

Women do burlesque, Johanson says, because “there’s something you need to get out for yourself. But you’re doing it in front of a crowd so they can understand how you’re feeling,” she says. “When I first started burlesque I was naturally insecure. It was incredible how liberating it was for me to expose myself and have people fall in love with you.”

Imagine how you’d feel about your body, Nicky says, if every time you looked in a mirror, you got applause. That’s what it’s like to feel the audience’s response to your burlesque performance.

A classically trained musician, Nicky gravitated to burlesque as a more creative way to express herself. With classical piano, there is a set reper-toire you have to learn and practise, practise, practise. With burlesque, “I don’t have to learn Bach if I don’t want to. (I’m more of a Chopin girl.) Burlesque pulls from so many different times and styles. It can be political, it can be pretty for the sake of being pretty. Modern burlesque pulls inspiration from every era, which opens things up for me artistically. There’s lots for me to play with. And glamour? What’s not to like?”

Beerlesque: a natural pairing of two art forms

Burlesque artists and craft beer makers are more alike than you might think. It is a natural fit when Vancou-

ver Craft Beer Week and the bur-lesque community come together for Beerlesque, the Roundhouse community centre fundraiser. On Sept. 20 there will be two one-hour sets of live performances as more than 15 breweries offer tastings from 6 to 10pm. It’s also a chance to dress up (and win prizes). Tickets are $55.

“Beer has always been a bit more relaxed than wine,” says Vancouver Craft Beer Week’s events director Leah Heneghan, who helped con-vince three of the craft brewers to dress up in drag to add even more colour to the event. “The whole

craft beer community is a bit crazy and they like having fun.”

James Walton of Storm Brew-ing is an event founder (and on the cover of this week’s WE.) “I dress up; I do fetish,” he says, and he knew many burlesque performers. “Burlesque itself

is parody and satire and pokes fun at things. There’s art and costumes and it makes you think.”

Craft beer makers want to take the same approach. “Molson Canadian does not make you think,” he says.

By Martha Perkins

A block away from Yale-town’s Hamilton Street, where posses of young women in stilettos

navigate the cobblestone sidewalks, there’s a buggy brigade parked outside the gym at the Roundhouse Community Centre.

When the neighbourhood’s for-mer warehouses were transformed into one of Vancouver’s trendy res-taurant districts after Expo 86, ev-eryone thought that, as the young condo buyers aged, they’d forego the vibrant streetlife in exchange for a house in the suburbs.

But, as the two dozen baby stroll-ers at Roundhouse attest, that’s not what happened. The young residents see their children as an addition to their way of life, not a reason to leave it behind. The 2006 Census estimates that 3,000 children live in Yaletown and 420 of them are enrolled in Elsie Roy El-ementary School, which uses David Lam Park as its outdoor playground and the Roundhouse as a recre-ational programming space.

Down the hall from the parent-tot playgroup, dozens of seniors are in the midst of their fitness class. An exhibit that explores our

perceptions of disabilities is in the Exhibit Hall overlooking the turn-table plaza and you can hear some-one practising his French horn. And this is just what’s going on in one hour on a Thursday morn-ing. At night there’s volleyball and basketball, karate, woodwork-ing, language classes, arts festival premieres... the booklet outlining all of this autumn’s programming needs 64 pages to list the activities.

“It’s the mind and body coming together in one place,” says execu-tive director Hanne Lene Dagleish. “It’s a wonderful reminder of how to live your live fully — it’s not just your body that is keeping healthy, it’s your mind.”

Unlike any other community centre in the city, the Roundhouse doubles as a performance and arts space. It’s what gives the Round-house its slightly edgy feel.

During Pride arts festivities, the Roundhouse set aside a bathroom for transgenderss. The crane in the turntable plaza is rigged so aerial artists, who teach classes at the Roundhouse, can perform. It’s also unlikely that any other commu-nity centre has women taking off their clothes as its major fundrais-er. (See the story on Beerlesque.)

And the gallery/performance space is not simply a room in the

The Roundhouse: an innovative place for body and mind

building set aside for creative uses. It’s hosted world premieres and top artists. “It feels like a place you’d have a really great show at, no mat-ter who you are,” says Dagleish.

This arts focus is part of what makes the Roundhouse able to re-spond to the needs and aspirations of not only the neighbourhood but also arts groups throughout the city. “It’s about giving the community a place to have its voice heard and the arts is a great way to do that,” Dagleish says.

Although it’s not one of the six community centres taking the Parks Board to court over its decision to put every centre under its One Card

system, the society that manages the Roundhouse does have concerns.

Each community centre is currently run by its own society, which raises money through memberships, but the building is owned by the city, which also provides the staffing.

“At the end of the day, they’re our landlords and we’re their ten-ants and they could kick us out and run it themselves,” says Craig Giles, a Crown Attorney who is the president of the Roundhouse’s society. (A case in point? The Parks Board says it will take control of the six “rogue” centres.)

He says that the Parks Board’s

plan for universal access to all centres is laudable, but so too is al-lowing each society to respond to its community. Membership fees help give the society flexibility. Last year, Roundhouse member-ships brought in $30,000, which the society has control over and can spend based on its priorities, not the city’s. One of the Round-house’s priorities?

“Societies were created by local communities. We’ve been running these centres in a way that community gets to be involved. If it’s just the Parks Board, you’ll have cookie cutter community centres,” Giles says.

“We want to create a space where your brain is alive,” say Roundhouse society president Craig Giles and executive director Hanne Lene Dagleish. Rob Newell photo

Evolution of the Stilton Cheesecake

by Mijune PakFollow Me Foodie

Cheesecake dates back to 776 BC in Ancient Greece, when it was fed to athletes at the Olympic Games. Generally considered a cal-orie-rich and indulgent dessert in modern

North American contexts, the Greeks considered it a high energy food source. I like the way they think.

Cheesecake has evolved and many cultures have their own versions, but one in particular is unique to Vancouver — the Stilton Cheesecake.

While it is commonly considered the dessert for non-dessert lovers, this cheese plate and dessert-in-one is embraced by sophisticated palates who enjoy sweet and savoury flavour combinations.

In the mid-90s the idea of Stilton in a dessert was adventurous; the earliest trace I could find for it was in May 1990. Texas Monthly magazine pub-lished a recipe for Stilton Cheesecake with Walnut Crust by chef Jack Chaplin of Chaplin’s in Dallas.

Its origin may not be officially documented, but the history of the Stilton Cheesecake has strong roots in Vancouver.

It was arguably invented in, or at least intro-duced to, Vancouver at the 1996 opening of Diva at the Met. The creator was Michael Noble, who was the executive chef at the time, but is now chef and proprietor of NOtaBLE in Calgary. I had the pleasure of meeting chef Noble and trying the original Stilton Cheesecake, which has been on NOtaBLE’s menu since opening day in late 2010.

The inspiration came to him as an epiphany... Cheesecake is a popular classic but he wanted to do something different for those who don’t have much of a sweet tooth.

His colleagues had their doubts, but it was a hit and has been on the Diva menu since. Minor adjust-ments have been made, but the recipe is more or less the same with a shortbread crust, crispy bruleed top, and a port wine reduced rhubarb compote.

The Caramelized Stilton Cheesecake is still on the current dessert menu at Diva but other restau-

rants and chefs have reinterpreted it by switching up the cheese, crust and fruit accompaniment. Whether or not it was inspired by the original is something you’ll have to ask chef.

Here are other versions of the blue cheese cheese-cake. They could be even better than the original, but the original is the original.

Thomas HaasA beloved patisserie led by a world class baker, Thomas Haas, needs no introduction. Part of the original Diva at the Met crew, Haas sticks to the British blue cheese and offers a Stilton Cheesecake with a shortbread crust and rhubarb compote.ThomasHaas.com

Don Francesco’sBeing an Italian restaurant, their chef uses an Italian blue cheese and offers it only as a dessert special. The Gorgonzola cheesecake is covered in dark chocolate ganache and served with a poached pear. Call ahead to avoid disappointment. DonFrancesco.ca

Lure Restaurant, Delta HotelI tried this version before the Stilton cheesecake original and it ranks high on my cheesecake list. It is not a blue cheese, but the idea is similar and worth trying. They offer a Goat Cheesecake brulee, lavender shortbread crust, pear trio, and honeyed pine nut buds. LureVictoria.com

eat & drinkWith chef Jonathan Chovancek cooking dinner and partner Lauren Mote making the cocktails, their Bittered Sling Bistro at Legacy Liquor Store exemplifies their commitment to their respective craft. For story on Mote’s latest venture (a place where you can enjoy her cocktails on a regular basis), see Fresh Sheet on page 11. Issha Marie photos

The passion, and science, behind Bittered Sling BistroBy Martha Perkins

Opposites may attract but it’s the way that Lauren Mote and Jonathan Chovancek are alike that make them such a formidable team.

No detail is too small. Every product is re-searched and meticulously sourced from the best producers. They’ll spend hours to get it just right rather than settle for a quick “that’ll do.” They understand the science of food and drink as well as that more ephemeral notion of palate.

They laugh at each other’s jokes, know each other’s strengths, and have lived, eaten, drank and worked happily together for almost four years.

It’s hard to separate them professionally because their talents intermingle but, simply put, she’s the genius behind the Bittered Sling line of bitters (that has just been picked up by Crate and Barrel and Whole Foods) and he’s the cooking passion behind Kale and Nori Culinary Arts.

At a recent Bittered Sling Bistro at Legacy Liquor Store, the ways they are alike were woven together with the ways they are different in a dinner that travelled down many adventurous sideroads.

While he worked quietly and steadily in the open kitchen at the back of the Olympic Village store, she mixed cocktails and then explained why they had been chosen to complement Chovancek’s menu to the almost 40 patrons.

Her knowledge about cocktails is encyclopedic.

She can’t mention one part of a drink’s name without telling a story about its roots. For in-stance, here’s her background information on her Howitzer 105 cocktail to go with Chovancek’s raw Pacific oysters (with elderberry capers and balsamfir mignonette) and duck live parfait (with wild alder cone-hazelnut gremolata and quince marmalade.)

“A spin on the classic French 75, aka 75 cocktail, aka Soixante-quinze (that is also named after a gun), this one saw a lot of action during the First and Second World Wars. The French 75 was popu-larized at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris, around 1915. The classic French 75 does not include cognac, however the bar team at Arnaud’s in New Orleans would argue that principle — cognac is French, gin is not, Champagne is French, what gives? That one’s called the French 125.”

Asked about the exceptionally tender braised pork shoulder that he served with a Cherry Heering glaze and wild mushroom polenta, Chovancek makes spending hours on one dish seem perfectly easy. “Chefs make braising to be complicated but you open up the foil, poke it with your finger and if it doesn’t feel like a baby’s bottom, it’s not ready.”

At most Bittered Sling Bistros, they have a guest bartender who, using the products from that evening’s host, creates the cocktails. The long-table diners then rate the pairings and, at the end of the season, a winning bartender is declared.

Bittered Sling Bistros are every two weeks; tickets are $60 each. For a schedule go to BitteredSling.com or LegacyLiquorStore.com.

Lauren Mote joins UvaLauren Mote travels North America as a celebrated mixologist and creator of Bittered Sling bitters (see page 9). But she’s missed having a bar she can call home — and her fans have missed having a place where they can regularly enjoy her cocktails. No more. Last week Mote announced that she is joining Uva Wine Bar as its bar manager. “It’s a beauti-ful, lovely room, very intimate, and they have [an extensive list] of rare and interesting spirits,” she said at last week’s Bittered Sling Bistro. “It’s a really great fit. It’s perfect in every way.” Uva had been known as an industry hub and Mote wants it to be the centre of an innovative cocktail culture. She’s joining Steve Edwards, the general manager and wine director of Uva and its adjacent Cibo Trattoria, and Cibo chef Faizal Kassam (La Brasserie, Bacchus and Hawksworth).

Blueprint’s next planIn early October, Blueprint plans to open Bismarck, a 60-seat bar/restaurant where people can mingle, drink, and eat in Crosstown, perhaps before they head over the the nearby Rogers Arena for a con-cert or game. (If patrons don’t have tickets, they can watch games on eight HDTVs.) The Abbott and Pender space was formerly Pivo, which Blueprint had run for the past four years. Bismarck will fea-ture house-made savoury sausages, artisanal bread and a selection of craft beers. On weekends, DJs will amp up the atmosphere.

Market by Jean-GeorgesWith deep traditions to draw from, David Auer and Montgomery Lau are looking forward to creating innovative new approaches at Market by Jean-Georges. Auer (Divino Wine Bar, Uva, Le Gavroche) is the new manager of the Shangri-La restaurant while Montgomery Lau has been promoted to chef de cuisine. Lau grew up exploring Hong Kong food markets with his mother, who made weekly dim sum outings a special part of his childhood. In 2011, he was chosen to represent BC for Canada’s Chef of the Year at the national chefs’ conference. With diplomas in restaurant management and wine, Auer worked at some of Europe’s finest restaurants, in-cluding becoming the youngest Michelin star restau-rant manager in Austria (Lowen Hotel Schruns.) Love brought him to Vancouver, where he’s not afraid to challenge the status quo.

Oyster bar at Hapa IzakayaTaking their Japanese pub approach a delicious step forward, Justin and Lea Ault have added an oyster bar at the 1479 Robson Street location. Better yet, during Hapa Hour (5:30 to 6:30), oysters are $1.49.

The times, they are a-changin’by Kurtis KoltCity Cellar

The news has been shared far and wide: the BC government is in the midst of a full-scale liquor policy review and, to my knowledge, no

option is off the table. This includes the once-preposterous

concept of the BC government getting out of the liquor business altogether and shifting it to the private sector. Granted, this is the most unlikely scenario, but the fact that absolutely all options are being considered is promising.

After canvassing those in the trade (restaurants, breweries, etc.) and meet-ing with stakeholders (everyone from the BC Wine Institute to the Victoria Police Department), the pols are now turning to you, the general public, to offer your feedback and input on things.

From their press release:“Parliamentary Secretary for Liquor Reform John Yap [has] launched the new Liquor Policy Review website, Gov.bc.ca/liquorpolicyreview.

Yap is inviting British Columbians to get involved with the site — through blog discussions, Twitter chats and feedback forms — to better understand BC’s liquor system and to offer vital input on ways to improve it.

The goal of government’s review is to find changes to B.C.’s laws on the use and sale of beer, wine and spirits that improve customer convenience and grow B.C.’s

economy, while ensuring public health and safety.”

Now, I can fill every page in this paper with my thoughts and recommendations, but there are a few select options/hopes/dreams that have always been at the top of my wish list.

None of them are about recent absurd headline-fodder options like possibly being permitted to drink on the beach; things like that are probably around num-ber 857 on my list of priorities.

Here goes the refrain of the biggest is-sues I’ve long championed....

Offer wholesale discounts on alcoholWhen I travel anywhere in the world and share that BC restaurants do not get any wholesale discounts on beer, wine or spirits, people generally assume they’ve misunderstood what I’ve said.

Yup, that bottle of Riesling that you pay $20 for on BCLDB shelves costs any restaurant $20 to purchase as well. While private wine and beer stores (who must also purchase from the BCLDB) get any-where from a 16 per cent to 30 per cent discount, restaurants get nothing.

All I’m looking for is a level playing field that would enable restaurants to pass along a better deal to diners. While we’re at it, and assuming we keep most of the current government model, let’s allow restaurants to purchase wine from private retailers, which would support indepen-dent businesses while still putting money in government pockets.

Open up more retail optionsHow wonderful it would be to purchase food and wine in the same place and have well-curated, lifestyle-oriented shops.

Currently liquor retailers are permit-ted to sell lottery tickets, cigarettes and packaged snacks (chips, etc), but selling newspapers, milk, coffee and the like is not permitted. Seriously, what’s up with that? Public safety concerns if someone buys a Globe & Mail with their wine?

Increase options for Special Occasion LicencesBasically, if you’re in any way a for-profit entity, it’s pretty much impossible to get a Special Occasion Licence for any event, even if you’re doing everything by the book. This includes wine education classes in cooking schools and colleges produced by world-renowned education bodies where, currently, there is no legal way of having your students taste wine.

Decrease the 123 per cent import tax on wineA guy can dream. We have some of the most expensive wine prices in the world and I’m tired of seeing tourists’ jaws drop when they see our shelf prices.

I have many more, and you probably do as well. Head to Gov.BC.ca, click on ‘Liquor Policy Review’ and have your say. Opportunities like this are rare; let’s rise up to the challenge.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

By Kerry Vital

Buying a home is one of the largest purchasing decisions most people will make in their lifetime. With so many things to consider like location, builder and price, to name a few, the process of finding the right home for you and your family can be stressful. However, when buying a new single family home from Morningstar Homes, a company whose promise is to create an oasis from today’s fast-paced life, you really can sit

back and enjoy the process.“We take the guess-work out, by providing show homes that

are tangible examples of what your home will be like,” says Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing at Morningstar. “Prospective purchasers can walk through the show homes and choose which floor plan is right for them!”

Morningstar prides itself on its reputation for building gorgeous homes and having great customer service. Calahan notes that “word-of-mouth is our best form of advertising”, and

has noticed a marked increase in friends and family referrals over the past five years. She often gets people inquiring about the homes who know someone who has already purchased a Morningstar home.

“There’s comfort knowing that you have an endorsement from someone you know,” she says. Add that to Morningstar’s brand recognition, reinforced by having seven successfully

Morningstar brings happiness to homeowners

By Kerry Vital

In the northeast part of Coquitlam rises Burke Mountain, a new community of family-friendly neighbourhoods that is perfect for people who love the great outdoors while still being connected to everyday amenities. With a park within five minutes of every home on the mountain and new homes and amenities such as schools and shopping going up every day, it comes as no surprise that Burke Mountain is rapidly becoming a very popular place to live.

One of the biggest developers currently

building on Burke Mountain is Morningstar Homes. They recently started sales on their eighth project, and are one of the largest single-family home builders in the neighbourhood.

Outdoor lovers will find plenty to enjoy on Burke Mountain, with its system of trails that connects everything else in the neighbourhood. This makes the area incredibly pedestrian-friendly. In fact, Coquitlam’s first green street was built on Burke Mountain, inside Morningstar’s Belmont development. You’ll also find playgrounds, parks and other outdoor spaces generously sprinkled around Burke Mountain. A community garden is also in the works, so you can exercise your green thumb.

When the weather isn’t the best, you are within easy reach of shopping and dining opportunities at nearby Coquitlam Centre and the surrounding area. You’ll also find transit located here as well, making your commute just a bit easier. TransLink’s Evergreen Line is expected to open in 2016,

making it even more simple. You’re also within 30 minutes of downtown Vancouver by car, and within 40 minutes of the Vancouver International Airport.

However, you may not need to leave Burke Mountain at all. Among the commercial space that is currently under construction is Meridian Crossing. Subway and 7-Eleven are already open there, with other tenants expected to open this fall. Among them are Hiraku Sushi and a dental clinic. A village centre is also in the works with coffee shops, light retail and a community centre in the plans.

Burke Mountain is currently home to several schools, with more due to be built in the future. You’re also close to Douglas College’s Coquitlam campus, as well as Simon Fraser University in Burnaby.

The sense of community on Burke Mountain is readily apparent. If you take a walk around, you hear children playing, neighbours chatting and birds chirping. That feeling will only continue as the area grows.

Rob Newell photosCoquitlam’s Burke Mountain is rapidly becoming one of the most popular areas to live in the Lower Mainland. Gorgeous homes combine with amazing views and plenty of opportunities for leisure and recreation.

Submitted photosHomes at Partington are spacious and open, with huge windows, above, modern kitchens, below right, and soothing master bedrooms, some with an attached sitting area, below.

sold-out neighborhoods on Burke Mountain alone, which gives purchasers the added comfort and peace of mind that they are dealing with a reputable builder who stands behind the homes they sell.

Already, Calahan says that buyers at Partington are telling her how happy they are with their purchase.

“They’re genuinely happy with the buying experience,” she says.And they’ll be extremely happy with their new home when it’s completed

later this year.Among the gorgeous features at Partington is a huge kitchen with a granite

island, stainless-steel appliances and tons of room to entertain. The entire home is built in an open-plan layout, which takes advantage of every inch of space available. With three floorplans available, all around 3,800 square feet and with three or four bedrooms, there’s no shortage of space. Each comes with an unfinished basement and a large private yard with a patio or deck.

Other beautiful parts of the home include a floor-to-ceiling linear fireplace, oversized windows, hardwood floors and a 19-foot vaulted ceiling.

“We always make the most of our windows,” Calahan says. “This time, they’re extra big.”

When you combine all of the features, every home is simply spectacular.“These homes are very well laid out,” Calahan says. “There’s a sense of

grandeur here. People are noting the ‘wow’ of the house; it takes your breath away.”

The grandest part of Partington is the phenomenal views available from every home. Looking out over Burke Mountain and Coquitlam, you truly feel like you’re among the clouds.

Partington is perfectly located for homeowners to live the Burke Mountain lifestyle. The neighbourhood has been growing over the years and now includes schools, parks and trails.

Partington opened for sale in July, and already 15 of the 45 homes have been sold. “We’re really pleased with the response,” Calahan says.

Morningstar has long been setting the standard for homes in the neighbourhood, and Calahan says that continues with Partington.

“We are one of the largest single-family builders here,” she says, adding “It’s a real happy balance between a planned neighbourhood and a custom home. We’ve really found the secret recipe for making the homeowners happy.”

Homes at Partington start at $898,900. For more information, visit www.morningstarhomes.bc.ca, call 604-942-6370 or visit the sales centre at 1508 Dayton Street in Coquitlam.

rant/rave

Anger notificationResidents near Barclay and Denman are now forced to schlep to Alberni Street or to Robson and Cardero to pick up parcels from Canada Post. Prior to this, we walked a block to the Shopper’s outlet on Denman. As I hurl myself head first into my dotage, I feel for my more elderly neighbours. Surely, such an arbitrary decision should be reviewed. Vicki

Listening, Translink? Due to construction downtown, the #16 and other buses are experiencing major delays. Not only that, but after a half-hour to one-hour wait (usually heading southbound), the buses arrive in groupings of two to three. Several of us have contacted the City and Translink. The fact that nothing has been done tells me they have no concern for public transit riders. They may feel differently if they were the ones waiting for an hour at a bus stop next to a disabled 80-year-old man. Demanding change

Light assault Dear City ‘managers’: Our sophisticated, resourceful civilization can no longer use the excuse that unsettling noise from any road vehicle is acceptable, nor does bright flashing

eyesight-assaulting bicycle lightingshow any consideration and respect for our fellow citizens. Less easy-to-see road travel-lers need visible ‘add-ons’ to get others’ at-tention to see them, not issuing ear-splitting, upsetting, decibel-soaring noise and vibra-tion. And eyesight-assaulting flashing lights at night? It’s barbaric. I know it’s an all-about-me society but doesn’t a green city includes decent quality of life in all aspects? Anonymous

Fly-by cyclistsI am a regular rider on the seawall between Olympic Village and Prospect Point and cannot believe the bike riders out there that come flying by on the left as if in a race. Some do not follow the signage posted to dismount and walk your bikes and yield to pedestrians. When passing on the left at a high rate of speed, a light bell ring might be in order to warn a slower traveller. As for riders going through the heavy traffic under the Burrard Bridge, slow down!! You have baby buggies, joggers, elderly with walkers and infants in this very congested area. What gives you the right to come racing through? Safe cycling is our responsibility. Bill Mooney

Cycle-illogicalAs both a cyclist and car driver, if the police ticketed cyclists for breaking the laws of the road as much as they do motorists, we might see cyclists start take their responsibilities as road-users seriously and maybe even respect other road users. Surely we need some ac-tion to balance out all the taxpayers’ dollars being invested in cycle lanes and city-funded

cycle hire schemes. Roger

Cyclists need testing Re: “With all due respect,” Rants. Sept. 12. Thank you, Sivak, for your thought-ful and tempered letter. As both a driv-er and cyclist, I am ashamed, angered, frustrated by fellow cyclists who feel entitled. Last week a woman cyclist on Beatty at Georgia decided, when the light turned green, to immediately dart out from the bike lane and go left in front of my vehicle, with millimetres to spare. If my reflexes were slower, I would have hit her as I started into the intersection. As a pedestrian I watch out for cyclists and cars. As a driver I watch out for pedestrians and cyclists and other drivers. I believe all cyclists should be given mandatory traffic tests. A septuagenarian

Middle-earth finds middle-groundUnlike many unique properties in Vancouver, beloved Hobbit House saved by a developer

By Kelsey Klassen

When At Home with History author Eve Lazarus sug-gested on her blog that, instead of tearing down

the Hobbit House, the new owner should move it, the new owner called her in a panic.

“All these people on my Facebook page [were getting] really into it, and he called up and said, No! We’re not going to move it! We’re going to build this townhouse development, and here’s how we’re going to do it.”

The 83-year-old faux-thatched-roof home at King Edward and Cambie made headlines in May when it was listed for sale for $2.86 million.

But, instead of being bought by the Dark Lord of Mordor, the Hob-bit House was purchased by David Mooney, the man responsible for the Boxwood Green and Viridian Green townhouse complexes on W. 6th and W.4th respectively.

“What [Mooney] told me is he bought the three [houses to the west] for a townhouse development of 18 units — a lowrise. Apparently, the City came to him after he had bought the three blocks and said, ‘How about considering the Hobbit House? It’s now for sale. Would you consider adding that, and incorporating it into a townhouse development? In return, we’ll help you have [more units].’ So they’re relaxing the zoning, and, in return, he has to designate the prop-

erty. Which I think is bril-liant.”

Heritage consultant Donald Lux-

ton, who was involved with the restoration of the other Hobbit House at 3979 W. Broadway, was then retained to oversee plans for restoring the house.

In June, Luxton told reporters that the intent was to edge the house forward a couple of feet, take out some renovations (such as an elevator to the roof) that were done in the ‘70s, and keep it as a separate home in front of the townhouse complex. Repairs will also be made to the iconic roof.

When reached for an update, Luxton was unable to comment on planning progress, as negotiations are still going with the City.

“An initial enquiry has been made,” he ex-plained in an email, “and we are discussing the level of intervention as well as the proposed den-sity for the site.”

Constructed by builder Brenton Lea in 1930, the house was conceived by architect Ross Lort, who also designed Casa Mia on SW Marine Drive.

Dr. Arn Pentland and his wife Mabel bought the house in 1976. On her blog, Lazarus quotes from a 2004 story about the couple: “Like everyone else my wife and I were in love with it.”

commercial drive

By Martha Perkins

Cora Burnette sweeps shoes off the plush red couch inside the door of Little Miss Vintage, her treasure-trove of clothes and accessories that span the decades from the Great Depression to Great

Recession. Her two kids — an eight-year-old daughter and soon-to-be-five-year-old son — had dropped by the store after school the previous afternoon. They’d played dress-up with the shoes until it was time for Burnette to lock up and walk home with them.

It’s mid-afternoon on a hot, tiring day and Burnette’s glad for the chance to sit down. Before she indulges in such a luxury, she puts a suitcase in front of her. It’s full of items that a woman who often supplies her with clothes wants to sell her; Burnette pulls them out as she talks, giving each piece a critical once-over as she men-tally prices them. She had spent part of the morning on a similar search for one-of-a-kind finds on a movie set and the frenetic pace of day is starting to wear on her.

Customers drift in and out of the store’s open door, including a young woman celebrating her 32nd birth-day by going shopping with a friend. Burnette prices a vintage silk dress for the friend — not in her budget — and a wool hat for the birthday girl, who takes it home. A woman shopping with her teenaged daughter asks if she can try on a pair of sunglasses outside. Sure, says Bur-nette, who instinctively switches into mother hen mode, reminding the older woman not to look directly into the sun.

“I worry about everything,” she says after her visitor remarks that she sounded like a vintage teacher giving dire warnings about how to watch the eclipse of the sun. “I mother everything and everyone because it’s all a big disaster and it will likely kill us.”

She says this with such droll delivery that even the most serious subjects can sound funny. It happens so often that when she later describes herself as “kind of crazy,” you can’t help but think it’s the type of thought-ful craziness that comes from feeling like the only sane person in a world run amuck.

(When she talks about how she and her husband Chris, who by night are a folk/rock group called The Burnettes, absorbed the responsibilities of parenthood by simply bringing their kids to gigs, she says “I don’t trust anyone else to raise them as I see fit. If anyone’s going to corrupt them, it’s going to be me, damn it.”)

It’s this dark sense of humour that got her into the vintage clothing business in the first place.

She does comedy improv at corporate shows and con-stantly needs costume changes. She believes in shopping second-hand as an ideology as well as a passion. Eventu-ally, however, her husband gently suggested that perhaps she had just a bit too many clothes filling their Commer-cial Drive home.

At first she tried selling the clothing on eBay. “I hated it,” she says. “Living online is pretty yucky.”

Then she found a retail space on the Drive’s 900 block. It was less than 300 square feet and suited her perfectly until she got pregnant with her second child; morning sickness plus the food smells coming from the donair shop next door were not a happy combination. She approached the owner of the store where the shop is cur-rently located and they switched spaces.

“Being a second-hand store on the Drive, it’s... tricky,” she says. Her type of store is exactly what helps give the

Drive its flavour, but in making the neigh-bourhood such an appealing destination, it’s also made it a more expensive place to live and have a business.

“Every cost is rising and it’s incongruent with the way we live,” she says. She loves the neighbourhood as a “be-yourself place where you can run around naked and not be judged and live the way you want to live.”

But how can you do that when the price of real estate and rent keeps climbing as demand for housing pushes the downtown boundar-ies. “Call me a communist but I think the government should be stepping in [with real estate price controls.]”

Since she can’t imagine living anywhere else in Vancouver, she, and others like her, have to make it work. “There’s nothing com-parable,” she says. “There’s no other neigh-bourhood that makes me feel like I can do this. There’s very little religion any more for people to follow, apart from what Miley Cyrus is doing, and you need a community that makes you feel you can carry on like this.

“For now it’s working. I fight for it. I do what I can to affect and change and my store is part of this.”

As she gets up to help a customer, she tidies up an errant pair of shoes. She gives that little smile and says, “I will always have nothing, but it’s okay. I’ll have lots of shoes.”

On Sept. 20, The Burnettes will be part of a show at Railway Club other East Van bands: East Van Scoundrels. The Rustic Sinners and Christie Rose.

The furniture whispererMeet Vern, a piece of furniture that can talk, thanks to Straight Line Designs’ Judson Beaumont

By Martha Perkins

Think of Judson Beaumont as the Furniture Whisperer — if anyone can make furniture talk, it’s the creative mind behind Straight Line Designs.

Take Vern. Vern is a four-drawer dresser with a sleek maple veneer. Instead of standing tall,

however, you get a sense that he’s got a bit of the weight of the world on his slightly stooped shoulders. When Beaumont felt that Vern was a bit tired from all of his organizational duties, he gave Vern a bench to sit on, as well as two arms so Vern could prop himself up and not have to worry about falling over.

“He’s not sad, he’s just nervous,” says Beaumont. “He’s got a lot on his mind.”

It’s a good thing Vern now has someone else to talk to. His son, Parker, was born a couple of years ago and is a very good listener. (Not that Parker has many options other than sitting still.)

When Beaumont first started out as a furniture designer, he was, as his business name suggests, all about straight lines. After five years, however, he got bored of all those hard edges and geometrical shapes. He didn’t want normal any more. His new normal had to be fun.

Around that time he was beguiled by the Toon-Town scenes in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?. The soft-shaped buildings talked and showed emotion. Why couldn’t furniture do that? It still had to be functional — the doors had to open, the drawers had to pull out — but that didn’t mean it couldn’t also be whimsical.

That’s when Vern was born and, since then, has taken on a life of his own.

In the summer, Beaumont, Vern and Parker were in Hong Kong, where they were centre stage of an exhibit in a shopping mall. The crowds loved him.

Vancouverites will have a chance to meet Vern and Parker at IDSWest at the Vancouver Conven-tion Centre. From September 19 to 22, top design-ers and manufacturers will be showcasing some of their most innovative designs. See details on page 25.

The ethos of spaceDesign of Homer Street Café is a testament to Craig Stanghetta’s innate understanding of where we want to be

By Martha Perkins

A painter has to start with a blank canvas. A writer has to start with a blank computer screen. Craig Stanghetta has

to start with blank walls, ceilings and floors.

As the creative force behind Ste. Marie Art + Design — the name is a nod to his home town of Sault Ste. Marie — he’s come up with the concepts behind such places as Meat & Bread, Revolver, Pidgin and, most recently, Homer Street Café.

“I feel my role is not to design a space but to curate an ethos, an atmo-sphere,” he says, sitting in the Cock-pit Room (named for the paintings of chickens), one of the quiet retreats he created at the café.

Since opening in June, the café has become hugely popular thanks, in part, to the way his understanding of that ethos draws you in and keeps you there.

When owner Lilliana De Cotiis asked him to help transform the 100-year-old space into a new Yale-town destination, the first thing he did was “feel the space to see where it wants to go.”

Working with Denise Liu and Linus Lam of Bespoke by Edison and

Sprinkles, they turned to frequent collaborator Scott Landon of South Granville’s Scott Landon Antiques. “We wanted to combine architec-ture and interior design into one process,” Stanghetta says. “We knew we had a good idea and had this guy who could find this great, salvaged stuff.”

Each decision was the cue for the next one, like an improv piece played by people who reach deep into their repertoire to fuel new interpretations of old themes.

Quoting heritage design can often feel contrived, but not at Homer Street Café. They’ve created a space that feels like it’s always been there or, if it wasn’t, could (or should) have been. There are no clichés or design tropes. It answers an innate yearning for a sense of space that both engages us and makes us feel instantly comfortable.

“On my day off, you won’t find me in most places that have been ‘designed,’” he says. “I find them vacuous, disingenuous, impersonal. I just care about what it feels like to be in a room.”

This ability to dream was not al-ways valued. “It was a character flaw as a kid because it meant I never ‘fo-cused,’” he says. Today, it’s made him one of Vancouver’s most sought-after designers. (His current projects are an expansion of Gastown’s Revolver and a boutique hotel in Mexico.)

As part of IDSWest, he and Kelly Deck will discuss “bringing restaurant design into your home.”

To those who want to create their own interpretations of space, Stang-hetta says, “Follow your instincts and just do what you want to do.”

“I feel my role is not to design a space but to create an ethos, an atmosphere,” says Craig Stanghetta, part of the design inspiration behind the Homer Street Café. Rob Newell photo

BC’s recycling system makes it so easy to Return-It

By Sandy SigmundVice President, Development & CMOEncorp Pacific (Canada)

Thanks to BC residents, about 80% of beverage containers sold in the province are recovered and recycled into something new. In 2012, that was close to one billion containers kept out of landfills.

Panorama Village Return-It, 5-Star location, Surrey, BC

Used aluminum cans are crushed and baled. The bales are sold and the aluminum is melted down and reformed into new aluminum cans. It takes 95% less energy to manufacture a recycled can than it does to make a new one.

Drink boxes and cartons are mashed into a paper pulp that is used to make cardboard boxes and tissue paper. Every tonne of recycled paper pulp saves approximately 17 trees.

Plastic bottles are washed, shredded and formed into pellets. From there, the material is sold to companies who turn those pellets into new plastic containers.

Used glass bottles are crushed into a fine material called cullet. Cullet is used in the manufacturing of a variety of things such as new bottles, sandblasting material and fiberglass insulation.

CONTAINERS GET A SECOND LIFEcently visited a depot is satis ed with the experience.

While beverage containers can still be returned to any retailer in BC, their returns only represent 7% of the total collected. Return-It™ Depots collect the vast maj-ority of containers, and are part of a comprehensive recycling network.

For hotels, office buildings, restaur-ants, other businesses and multi-family buildings, many Return-It™ Depots and specialized mobile collectors offer a pick-up program, primarily provided within the Vancouver area. Independent contractors will pick-up used containers and take them to Return-It™ collection facilities. If you live in a townhouse, con-domin ium or apartment, look for the Encorp or Return-It™ branded collection bins insta l led in your garbage and recycling area.

If you live in a residence where mun-icipal pickup is available, you can leave containers for curbside pickup – be aware, though, that the type of containers acc-epted will vary based on your municipality. It’s always best to check with your local municipality to con rm what’s acceptable and what isn’t.

For recycling ‘on the go’, you may have noticed that Encorp has installed 60 new beverage container recycling bins in the City of Vancouver. These bins are non-locking and designed to be self-serviced by residents or people wanting to receive the deposit refund attached to each container.

Around 176 bear-proof recycling bins can also be found in approximately 14 BC parks. The parks receive the deposit refunds and most proceeds are given to their chosen charities. To date, more than $75,000 in deposit refunds have been provided to BC Parks.

Encorp Pacific (Canada) is one of North America’s leading not-for-profit product stewardship corporations. With a man date to develop and manage a consumer-friendly, cost-effective system to recover end-of-life products and packaging for recycling, Encorp’s recycling network is extensive, and stretches across the province.

Probably best known for the Return-It™ System, Encorp’s recycling network includes over 170 Return-It™ Depots in BC. Each depot is independently owned, often family-operated, and pro vides business and employment opportunities for communities across the province. As the cornerstones of the Return-It™ System, these depots are known by 85% of BC residents, and are the most common way that a beverage container is returned for recycling into the system. Conveniently, many Return-It™ Depots also accept a variety of other stewardship products, including electronics, small appliances, paint and more. More information about what’s accepted where can be found at return-it.ca/locations.

To ensure customers get the best possible recycling experience, Encorp has taken steps to modernize depots by creat-ing 3 & 5 Star Depot Programs. Depots certi ed in the program must meet speci c standards for service, cleanliness, design and convenience. Today’s depots are clean, bright and open, with large sorting tables. Nearly every customer (94%) who’s re-

Return-It School is backAlso this year, Encorp relaunched Return-It™ School, a free program in which schools receive recycling bins and mobile pickup services, and can compete with one another for cash prizes. Teachers get access to educational curriculum and entertaining presentations that help edu-cate their students about recycling. Students also have an online learning centre, with fun educational resources that include interesting facts, goal setting, school hall-of-fame and more.

Who foots the bill?Encorp is 100% industry operated and receives no government funding. They combine private sector efficiencies with a high degree of transparency to manage these various recycling programs.

With BC’s growing recycling networks, recycling couldn’t be easier. Look for a Return-It™ Depot or recycling bin near you, and keep your recyclable products in the system and out of the land ll.



Horse playculture

War Horse’s actors channel their inner equines for life-sized horse puppets

By Sabrina Furminger

When War Horse’s equines gallop across the stage, or trot back and forth with grown men on their backs, it can take a little

brainpower to remember that they’re not actually real.

The creators of the Tony Award-winning extravaganza — which kicks off its Vancou-ver engagement on September 24 — have employed an array of theatrical tricks to bring the play’s non-human characters to life. In some cases, this has meant trans-forming stage actors with zero puppet expe-rience into expert puppeteers.

One such performer is Mairi Babb. The Saanich native was last seen locally in 2010’s Brief Encounter. Babb possessed a long acting résumé but little knowledge of puppetry

when, in 2011, she was cast in War Horse’s Toronto production — and that’s precisely how producers like it, she says.

“They want everyone to start from scratch and end up with the same aesthetic and approach,” said Babb on the phone from Edmonton, where the touring company was setting up. “Learning the language of pup-petry has been one of the most challenging and rewarding things I’ve ever done.”

Babb is one of three puppeteers who bring the foal version of the titular horse to life on stage each night. Together, the trio maneu-vers the puppet’s hind, heart, and head, all the while dressed in costumes representative of the early 20th century. “They try to blend us into the puppet, but they don’t try to hide us,” said Babb. “Their idea is that eventually we’ll just disappear anyway, so they don’t need to put us in black body suits.”

Even after two years in the role, Babb said she’s still in awe of the horse puppets, the brainchildren of South Africa’s Handspring Theatre Company. Constructed from leather, steel, and aircraft cables, many of the puppets weigh in excess of 120 pounds; the larger

puppets are able to carry 170-pound riders. Based on the 1982 novel by Michael

Morpurgo, War Horse explores the relation-ship between a young man and his horse, set largely amidst the carnage and chaos of the First World War.

“It’s such an important story,” said Babb. “I still get chills when I think about how two

years later I’m still doing this show and it’s as exciting and powerful as it was the � rst day of rehearsal.”

War Horse is a production of the National Theatre of Great Britain. It’s at the Queen Eliza-beth Theatre from Sept. 24-29. WarHorseOnStage.com.

Everybody loves JulesIn addition to relocating their work-shop to the Chinatown Centre on Pender, the shoemakers at Love Jules Leather have been busy solving the problem of how to get the right rubber soles for their bespoke boat shoes. In attempting to raise $10k towards the costs of crafting their own soles through the Kickstarter website, they hit $25k within four days and are now counting in at $31k as of press time — garnering them a well-deserved ‘Project of the Day’ stamp on Sept. 14.

‘Great White Wall’ gives wayCrews removed the last of 473 stone panels from the exterior of the old Sears building down-town on Sept. 12. De-scribed as a “giant uri-nal”, the controversial building will undergo a redevelopment that will see US retailer Nord-strom move in by 2015. The new exterior will be a combination of glass, stone and a curtain wall system.

Fall freshAfter � ve years on West 13th, partners in life, and business, Leighann Boquist and Darren Bold have moved their contemporary women’s clothing store to a brand new retail space at 1575 W. 6th. Oliver and Lilly’s offers indepen-dent clothing lines from LA (Heidi Merrick and Velvet), France (A.P.C. and Tassia Canellis) and New York (Ace & Jig) as well as a few “local gems” such as Dace and jewellery from Jamie Shea and Jen Ellis.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19): “If Taylor Swift is going to have six breakups a year,” observed co-median Bill Maher, “she needs to write a new song entitled ‘Maybe It’s Me.’” He was referring to Swift’s habit of using her romantic misadventures to stim-ulate her lyric-writing creativity. With that as your prompt, Aries, I’ll ask you to do some soul-search-ing about your own intimacy issues. How have you contributed to the problems you’ve had in getting the love and care you want? What unconscious behavior have undermined your romantic satisfac-tion, and what could you do to transform them? The next eight weeks will be prime time to revolu-tionize your approach to relationships.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20): Philosopher Alan Watts used to talk about how the whole world is wiggling all the time — clouds, trees, sky, water, human beings. One of our problems, Watts said, is that we’re “always trying to straighten things out.” We feel nagging urges to deny or cover up or eliminate the wiggling. “Be orderly,” we command reality. “Be neat and composed and predictable.” But reality never obeys. It’s forever doing what it does best: � ickering and � uctuating and � owing. In accordance with astrological omens, Taurus, I en-courage you to rebel against any natural tendencies you might have to � ght the eternal wiggle.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20): Author Elaine Scarry de� nes “the basic impulse underlying education” as follows: the “willingness to continually revise one’s own location in order to place oneself in the path of beauty.” Consider making this your modus operandi in the coming weeks, Gemini. Do research to � nd out where beauty might be hiding and where beauty is ripening. Learn all you can about what kinds of conditions attract beauty, and then create those conditions. Finally, hang around people who are often surrounded by beauty. This will be an excellent way to further your education.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22): “Life is either always a tight-rope or a feather bed. Give me the tight-rope.” So declared writer Edith Wharton. But she was an Aquarius, and more temperamentally suited to the tight-rope. Many of you Cancerians, on the other hand, prefer the feather-bed mode. I suspect that in the next nine months, however, you will be willing and even eager to spend more time on the tight-rope than is customary for you. To get primed for the excitement, I suggest you revel in some intense feather-bed action in the coming weeks. Charge up your internal batteries with an extra-special deluxe regimen of sweet self-care.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22): Half of a truth is better than no truth at all, right? Wrong! If you latch on to the partially accurate story, you may stop look-ing for the rest of the story. And then you’re liable to make a premature decision based on insuf� cient data. The better alternative is to reject the partially accurate story and be willing to wait around in the dark until the complete revelation comes. That may be uncomfortable for a while. But when the full truth � nally straggles in, you will be very glad you didn’t jump to unripe conclusions.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22): A Chinese entrepreneur named Nin Nan dreamed up a unique way to gen-erate capital: He sold dead mosquitoes online for a dollar apiece, advertising them as useful for scien-ti� c research and decoration. Within two days, he received 10,000 orders. Let’s make him your patron saint for the next few weeks, Virgo. May he inspire you to come up with novel ways to stimulate your

cash � ow. The planetary omens suggest that your originality is more likely than usual to generate concrete rewards.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22): “The most important thing is to � nd out what the most important thing is,” wrote Shunryu Suzuki in his book Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind. That’s your assignment for the next three weeks. Do whatever it takes to � nd out beyond any doubt what the most important thing is. Meditate naked an hour a day. Convene intense conversations about yourself with the people who know you best. Create and sign a contract with yourself in which you vow to identify the experi-ence you want more than any other experience on earth. No waf� ing allowed, Libra.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21): Sometime in the next nine months you may feel moved to embark on an adventure that will transform the way you under-stand reality. Maybe you will choose to make a pilgrimage to a sacred sanctuary or wander further away from your familiar comforts than ever before. Right now is an excellent time to brainstorm about the possibilities. If you don’t feel ready to actually begin your quest, at least formulate a master plan for the magic moment when you will be ripe.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21): In the indigenous culture of Hawaii, “mana” refers to a spiritual power that may abide in people, objects, and natu-ral locations. You can acquire more of it by acting with integrity and excellence, but you might lose some of it if your actions are careless or unfocused. For instance, a healer who does a mediocre job of curing her patients could lose the mana that made her a healer in the � rst place. All of us have an ever-shifting relationship with the primal life force. What’s the current state of your own personal sup-ply, Sagittarius? It’s time to make sure you’re taking full advantage of the mana you have been blessed with. Your motto: “Use it or lose it.”

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19): Have you been get-ting enough? I doubt it. I think you should sneak a peek into the hiding place where your insatiable cravings are stored. If you’re brave enough, also take a look at your impossible demands, your unruly obsessions and your suppressed miracles. Please note: I’m not suggesting that you immedi-ately unleash them all; I don’t mean you should impulsively instigate an adventure that could possibly quench your ravenous yearnings. But I do believe you will bene� t from becoming better acquainted with them. You could develop a more honest relationship, which would ultimately make them more trustworthy.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18): Don’t tape your thumbs to your hands and stalk around pretending to be a dinosaur. Don’t use a felt-tip marker to draw corporate logos on your face to show everyone what brands of consumer goods you love. To be clear: I would love you to be extravagantly creative. I hope you will use your imagination in novel ways as you have fun playing with experimental scenar-ios. But please exercise a modicum of discernment as you wander way outside the box. Be at least 20 per cent practical.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20): “Take a lover who looks at you like maybe you are magic,” says the poet Marty McConnell. That’s good advice, Pisces — not just in regards to your intimate relation-ships, but about all your other alliances, too. If you’re seeking a friend or consultant or business partner or jogging companion or new pet, show a preference for those creatures who look at you like maybe you are magic. You always need to be appreciated for the sweet mystery and catalytic mojo you bring to your partnerships, but you especially need that acknowledgment now.

THE ART OF THE STEALStarring Kurt Russell, Matt Dillon, Jay BaruchelDirected by Jonathan Sobol

Fresh out of prison, getaway-driver-turned-side-show-stuntman Crunch Calhoun (Kurt Russell) sits atop a ramp, preparing to defy death for the umpteenth time. In this moment, he recognizes precisely what appeal he holds for the bloodthirsty audience: They’ve seen him succeed before. Now they’re hoping to watch him crash and burn.

This serves as the most striking scene in Jona-than Sobol’s slapdash caper comedy, largely due to its potent subtext. Having seemingly been liberated from career limbo by Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof in 2007, Russell has since discovered that he’s been condemned to toiling in knockoffs

like this. There’ll never be another Big Trouble in Little China for the cult action hero. But, there’ll al-ways be a paycheque waiting if he’s willing to sully his reputation.

The speci� cs of the � lm prove a little too elabo-rate and not intriguing enough to recap. In short, it involves Crunch and his cohorts, including his duplicitous brother (Matt Dillon) and fawning protege (Jay Baruchel) playing a convoluted shell game with a stolen piece of art.

“Action de� nes character,” goes the old screen-writing adage. Here, an early high-speed/zero-reward motorcycle chase through a subway train is indicative of the ineffective scripting that’s to follow. By the time it’s lecturing us on the impor-tance of trust, The Art of the Steal has long since since exhausted any faith we may’ve placed in it. — Curtis Woloschuk
