Book a date with BurlesqueVancouver’s burlesque artists certainly know how to warm up those cold winter nights. As well as all the regular perfor-mances, there are some extra special dates coming up:

• On January 10, Tarantino Burlesque at the Fan Club promises to “bring grind-house back to Vancouver theatres.” Hosted by Fairlith Harvey of Geekenders fame, the nine acts will re-imagine scenes from Quentin Tarantino movies from Pulp Fiction to Death Proof while the Rock and Roll Burlesque Band, led by guitarist Blue Morris and featuring Red Heartbreaker on vocals, provide the soundtrack. Performers include Little Miss Risk, Voodoo Pixie, Sparkle Plenty, Mama Fortuna, Ariel Helvetica and Fairlith Harvey. Details at BlueMorris.com.

• Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from January 17 to February 2, In the House is teaming up with Vancouver FanClub for an interactive evening of dinner, theatre, burlesque, circus and live music. (They say, “Think Tony & Tiny’s Wedding meets Cirque du Soleil with more than its share of sexy.”) Each patron is given an alias as they enter the world of Atlantis, with three possible endings to the show. Costumes encouraged. Tickets: $50 with three-course meal (arrival between 6 and 6:45pm); $25 for a cocktail ticket (arrival between 8 and 8:15pm); $15 for just the music showcase and DJs (arrival between 10:30 and 11:00); $10 for just the DJs (arrival after midnight). Details at BlueM-orris.com.

• Just in time for the sixth anniversary cel-ebration of Kitty Nights burlesque (Janu-ary 19 at the Biltmore Cabaret), producers Kristen Hogan, aka Burgundy Brixx, and her husband Doug Thomas, aka The Purrfessor,

have an even better reason to throw a party. They �nally became landed im-migrants! After a three-year struggle, a 1,750-signature petition and a fund-raising rally, the former New Yorkers drove over the Peace Arch boarder crossing on December 21 as of�cial permanent residents. It almost makes you want to take off your clothes with glee... Tickets are $9. For details go to KittyNights.com.

Closet cull for charityWE Vancouver fashion writer Kelsey Klassen is letting Shaw TV expose her deep dark… closet. West Coast Style host Erin Shaw and her �lm crew will descend on Klassen’s Strathcona heri-tage home (mid-reno) to watch as she and stylist Ana Snow tackle 10 years of clothing collecting. “It’s basically a present to my husband for our one-year anniversary,” says Klassen, who has converted the entire master bedroom of their house into a temporary closet. “I’m a fashion lover and a writer. You mix well-made clothing with sentiment and you have clothes that I’ve had since high school hanging in there. Time to let it go.” Clothing will be donated to local charities. Tune in to Shaw TV Channel 4 on January 16 and 23 at 5pm/11pm for the results!

horoscopeFree Will Astrologyby Rob Brezsny • Week of August 22

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19): If you’re going to do wild and brave and unexpected things, make sure they are rooted in your vigorous response to primal rhythms, not in a drunken surrender to weakness or ignorance. I’m all for you losing your oppressive self-control, but not the healthy kind of self-control.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20): When is the last time you

did a real-life experiment, like when you try out an unfamiliar experience to see if it appeals to you? Now would be an excellent time to expose yourself to a few what-ifs like that. You’re overdue to have your eyes opened, your limits stretched, and your mind blown.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20): To help take the edge off the darkness you have been wrestling with, I offer you these lines from a poem by Kay Ryan: “The day mis-spent, / the love misplaced, / has inside it / the seed of redemption. / Nothing is exempt / from resurrection.” In other words, whatever has disappeared from your

life will probably return later in a new form. The wrong turns you made may lead you to a fresh possibility.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22): “Human beings are often unable to receive be-cause we do not know what to ask for,” says Malidoma Somé in his book Water and Spirit. “We are sometimes unable to get what we need because we do not know what we want.” Hear my two pleas: �rst, that in the next six weeks, you will work diligently to identify the goodies you want most; and second, that you will cultivate your capacity to receive the goodies you want most by re�ning your skill at asking for them.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22): Julia Morgan (1872-1957) was the �rst woman li-censed as an architect in California. She designed more than 700 buildings and thrived both �nancially and artistically. One key to her success was her humil-ity. “Don’t ever turn down a job because it’s beneath you,” she advised. That’s a helpful message. You can’t possibly know ahead of time how important it might ultimately be to apply yourself conscientiously to a seemingly small assignment.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22): One of Beethoven’s music teachers said, “As a composer, he is hopeless.” When Thom-as Edison was a kid, a teacher told him he was “too stupid to learn anything.” Walt Disney worked at a newspaper when he was young, but his editor �red him because “he lacked imagination and had no good ideas.” I’m happy to report that 2014 will be the best year ever for neutralizing and overcoming that naysayer’s curse.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22): As a child, French philosopher and writer Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) loved math. But his father, who homeschooled him, forced him to concentrate on the humani-ties. Blaise rebelled. When he was 12, he locked himself in his room for days and immersed himself in mathemati-cal investigations. When he emerged, he had �gured out some of Euclid’s fundamental theorems about geometry. Seal yourself away from other people’s opinions about who you’re supposed to be, and explore the themes that will be crucial for the person you are becoming.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21): In 1609,

Henry Hudson sailed to America and came upon what we now call Coney Island. Back then it was a barren spit of sand whose main inhabitants were rabbits. By the early 20th century, there were three sprawling amusement parks packed into its two square miles. 2014 could feature your own Henry Hudson moment: a time when you will discover virgin territory that will ultimately be-come an extravagant playground.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21): “If men had wings and bore black feath-ers, few of them would be clever enough to be crows,” said 19th-century social reformer Henry Ward Beecher. I don’t think it will be true for Sagittar-ians. Your animal intelligence will be working even better than usual. Your instinctual inclinations are likely to serve as reliable guides to wise action. Trust what your body tells you! You will de�nitely be clever enough to be a crow.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19): Can you guess what combination of colours makes the most vivid visual impact? Psychologists say it’s black on yellow. Together they arrest the eye. They acti-vate a readiness to respond. It’s time for you to draw the best kind of attention to yourself. You have a right and a duty to galvanize people with the power of your presence.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18): Here’s the advice that Dan Albergotti gives in his poem “Things to Do in the Belly of the Whale.” “Count the ribs,” he says. “Look up for blue sky through the spout. Make small �res with the broken hulls of �shing boats. Practise smoke signals. Call old friends. Organize your calendar. Dream of the beach. Review each of your life’s ten million choices. Find the evidence of those before you. Listen for the sound of your heart. Be thankful you are here, swallowed with all hope, where you can rest and wait.”

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20): Do you prefer to pick the tests you take, making sure they’re good �ts for the precise lessons you want to master? Or do you �nd it more exciting and adventurous to let fate determine what unpredictable tests get sent your way? Ruminate about these matters, Pisces. You’re due for a nice big test sometime soon, and it’s in your interest to help shape and de�ne how everything unfolds.

Reflected fameProject Limelight, supported by the late Cory Monteith, presents playful take of Mirror, Mirror

By Sabrina Furminger

It’s a rainy Saturday morning in mid December. Inside a multi-purpose room on the ground �oor of Strathcona Community Centre, 16 East-side kids and half a dozen adults are converging

under the �uorescent lights. “The house lights go down for the overture,” di-

rector Paul Belanger calls out in a booming voice to the kids, who are gathered behind chairs that rep-resent the wings of a stage. Even in rehearsal, their

excitement — and jitters — are palpable. “Overture ends, then lights up on the fairy in front.”

The play in question is Mirror, Mirror, Project Limelight’s Snow White-inspired pantomime.

The rehearsal comes to a natural pause after an

hour, when the kids turn their attention to tables of healthy food and reusable dishware that have been stealthily set up by several adult volunteers.

It’s this combination of performing arts and nourishment that has made Project Limelight an Eastside �xture since it was �rst established by sis-ters Maureen Webb and Donalda Weaver less than two years ago. The show biz veterans wanted to do some good following the death of their mother.

Their mission: to provide a free performing arts program to Eastside kids and equip them with all of the bene�ts of the arts: self-con�dence; commu-nity; responsibility; imagination; mentorship; fun.

“We see remarkable change in some of the kids, and we see how joyous it is,” says Webb. “It’s work-ing wonders.”

The program runs three sessions per year, during which kids ages eight to 15 meet several times a week to prepare for a show, guided in their pursuit by an impressive team of industry pros.

Project Limelight has bene�ted from enthusiastic private and corporate support. Its earliest supporter was none other than Sir Richard Branson. “[Bran-son] set the tone,” says Weaver. “What he did for us

was just amazing. It wouldn’t have mattered how much it was that he gave us. It was just the fact that he believed in us, and he believed in our model.”

But Project Limelight has also been touched by tragedy. It found itself in the international spot-light this past summer when its most high-pro�le advocate, Glee star Cory Monteith, died of an ac-cidental overdose in a Vancouver hotel room.

Monteith had publicly and passionately sup-ported Project Limelight, and his death brought an unexpected wave of support for the organization.

“That word bittersweet comes up. It’s hard to talk about it in a way of being grateful, but it’s been tre-mendous as far as what it’s done for shining a light on us,” says Webb, a friend of Monteith’s since the early days of his career. “Cory brought us into the spotlight anyway. That was his goal, and he did a great job of that, and how it affected us personally is we’re just incredibly saddened.”

In the immediate aftermath of Monteith’s death, his family named Project Limelight as one of three organizations to which donations could be made in his memory. In October, Fox and Columbia Records donated all of the proceeds from Glee’s tribute episode’s iTunes sales to Project Limelight.

“We became a place where his fans could reach out and tell us how sad they were, and how happy they were that he supported us,” says Webb, describ-ing a group of girls who bought a star in his memory and then wrote to tell her all about it. “The letters, and the emails, they’re still coming in.”

The week before he died, Monteith dined with Webb and his agent Elena Kirschner at East of Main Café, the sisters’ East Georgia restaurant above which Project Limelight is based. Though a separate, for-pro�t entity, East of Main has fed into Project Limelight in two ways, donating its pro�ts and also supplying the food for its rehearsals.

This support should continue for the future, even though East of Main will be “taking a hiatus” for the month of January. Says Webb: “We’re trying to re-energize and �gure out a way that we can become a more viable source of income for Project Limelight; we have no intention of letting it go.”

January, though, is mainly about the actors and Mirror, Mirror: �rst rehearsing, then performing, and, �nally, rejoicing in a job well done.

“The greatest moment for me as a director is to see their faces on stage and see what we’ve done for them,” says Belanger as lunch winds down and the cast preps for the second half of rehearsal. “This stuff changes people’s lives.

Mirror, Mirror runs for two performances on January 12 at at SFU Woodward’s (149 W. Hastings). Tickets are $10/$15 at ProjectLimelight.ca.

These eggs Benedict from Fable are made with a lighter olive oil Hollandaise sauce. Mijune Pak photo

Vancouver gets three hits in Chowzters awards

Mijune Pak is one of the featured “chief Chowzters” on Chowzter.com, “an international com-munity of food experts around the globe.” She was asked to nominate some of her Vancouver picks for the website’s North American Tastiest Fast Feasts Awards. After a group of panelists poured over the 200 nominations, three of Mijune’s picks were included in the Top 50:

THE PORKER AT PIG ON THE STREET “Double smoked bacon, sage and apple sausage stuf�ng, homemade chutney, goat Gouda, house-made caramelized onion mayo, and greens all wrapped up in their handmade �atbread. This �atbread is made in-house using �our milled by a �our peddler on the back of his exercise bike.”

DUCK CONFIT CASSOULET AT LE PARISIEN “I could taste the sharp white cheddar cheese and also a more pungent gruyere which gave it a salty nutty �avour easily mistaken for Parmesan.”

ABURI SALMON OISHI AT MINAMI “Pressed local salmon, jalapeno, and miku sauce. It’s a creamy, savoury, rich, buttery and moist salmon sushi with freshly cracked black pepper and a slight crunch of heaty jalapeno. The sushi rice is even good alone.”

Lighten up, why don’t you The season of indulgence is over but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy rich-tasting foods with fewer calories

So you ate one too many holiday cookies, or tripled up on those turkey dinners? You might have gained a few pounds, but you enjoyed your holiday. Nothing wrong with

that. We’ve all pulled up our jeans thinking “please tell me I just washed these” (this is why I prefer forgiving dresses), but investing in a whole new wardrobe isn’t the solution.

Healthy eating tends to be associated with veg-etarian restaurants and juice bars, but those options don’t necessarily mean “healthy”. Don’t get me wrong — they are healthier options than steakhous-es and fast food, but it depends what you order.

I’m not the person to go to for diet advice and I’m really not a diet fan. I’m also not the type to suggest a salad when you really want a burger. They’re not even close.

People tend to jump to vegetarian, no carbs, no gluten, or simply deprivation when they think of healthy eating, which is natural, but here are recommendations for those who want their cake and eat it too.

The indulgence: Eggs BenedictThe best and the “worst” part of an eggs Benny is the rich buttery hollandaise that goes on top; get-ting eggs Benedict without it would be ludicrous.

The healthier alternative: Fable Kitchen offers eggs Benedicts with Olive Oil Hollandaise with your choice of ham, smoked trout, or spinach. It’s like a lighter hollandaise sauce and you can taste the fruitiness of the olive oil. It’s an excellent alter-native that doesn’t feel like a sacri�ce.

The indulgence: Moules et fritesIt’s the perfect time of year for them, but French fries

and mussels swimming in creamy broth won’t neces-sarily get you back in pre-holiday clothes. Mind you, not all broths are creamy, but you might have to give up the fries. But that doesn’t mean you have to give up the potatoes.

The healthier alternative: Rosemary Smoked Mussels, Pickled Garlic, Fennel and Cress and Sieglinde Potatoes with Pickled Garlic and Marjo-ram from Burdock & Co. It’s not “moules et frites”, but it is excellent. It is actually two separate dishes. The mussels don’t come in a broth, but they’re naturally juicy and tastefully smoky. The potatoes are unassuming and they’re potatoes you feel great about eating. Also try the Caramelized Sunchoke Terrine, which is another healthy option.

The indulgence: Indian foodButter chicken, pakora (fried vegetables), and creamy curries don’t scream healthy, but Van-couver’s idea of authentic Indian food is skewed and limited. Home-cooked Indian food is much healthier than the restaurant-style curries which are typically made with a lot of cream. There is not a lot of selections for healthy north Indian food in the city, so that’s when you look south.

The healthier alternative: Southern Indian food is very different than Northern Indian food. It is more vegetable- and seafood-based and the dishes are often lighter. Chutney Villa Fine South Indian Cuisine healthier options include Nandu Puttu — crab tossed with coconut, roasted spices, and a hint of lime — and Manga Thenga Sundal — green mango, coconut, and chickpeas. Both appetizers are hard to �nd in Vancouver which makes them extra special here.

See Mijune on CityTV’s Breakfast Television talking about her �rst event of 2014; her 6 Course Discourse is on January 20 at the Edgewater Casino. This Dine Out Vancouver Festival featured event is one of the hottest tickets this year. Made for serious “foodies” and chefs, the event offers culinary talks from six of Vancouver’s most honoured chefs, and a BC wine and canapé stand-ing reception from some of the city’s �nest restaurants.

THE DISHNow that the holidays are of�cially over, and our wallets feel slightly less stuffed, the need for comfort is greater than ever. I found mine the other night at Los Cuervos, the small tacqueria and cantina that opened in the old Che Baba space at 603 King-sway. The team behind it are Les Faux Bourgeois owners Andreas Seppelt and Stephan Gagnon, along with their long-time chef, Gilles L’Heureux, who himself spent over half a decade living and working in Mexico City. Sitting just a few doors away from its sister resto, Los Cuervos focuses on the

humble taco, but, unlike most other tacquerias in the city that serve their goods on a three-inch-wide double-walled, these come on single six-inch corn tortillas that fold per-fectly over onto themselves, mean-ing less mess and better handling. Try the Alambre, a rich bison skirt steak topped with bacon, melted cheese, onion and peppers, or the Cochinta Pibil, a Yucatan pulled pork with red onions. Daily specials one night included an outstanding tamarind-glazed pork belly with crackling. There are also vegetarian options, like the outstanding mixed mushrooms with huitlacoche (a Mexican truf�e) sauce. At around $3.50 each, you can certainly try most of the 10 taco options without breaking the bank. Just leave room for the �autas ($5 each), crispy rolled tacos stuffed with duck, sweet potato and feta. LosCuervos.ca

SCENE | HEARDFraîche in West Vancouver served its last dinner on December 31, 2013. It was named one of the top 10 new restaurants in 2008 when it opened, and recognized as being one of the best restaurants on the North Shore. Best wishes to the staff and owners.

Vancouver International Wine Festival tickets are now on sale. Running from February 24 to March 2, this year’s collection of seminars, dinners, tastings and other events focuses around the theme country of France, with a global focus on bubbly. VanWineFest.ca

Ganache Patisserie in Yaletown has expanded its retail space at 1262 Homer Street with a larger seating area, and an expanded croissant and coffee menu. GanacheYaletown.com

Canada’s �rst Pappa Roti franchise is expected to open later this month at 1505 Robson. The glazed, coffee-carmel coated pastries are called the “father of all buns” from Malaysia. It will also feature specialty teas and JJ Bean coffee. PappaRoti.ca.

DRINK | DINEVancouver Farmers Markets are presenting their second annual Food Truck Fest during the month of January at the Winter Farmers Market at Nat Bailey Stadium every Saturday. Look for almost 20 trucks to be on hand, as well as covered seating and live music. EatLocal.org

Haggis is, let’s say, an acquired taste. And not everyone wants to acquire it. That’s why when House Wine raises drams of single malts, blended

scotch, Irish whiskey, bourbon and wine in honour of Scottish poet Robbie Burns’ bri, it will be serv-ing cheese instead. It’s at Stewart Stephenson Modern Art Gallery on Robson on January 22 from 6 to 8p. Tickets are $45 at HouseWine.ca

Dine Out Vancouver is almost upon us, with over 200 restaurants offering their prix �xe deals starting January 17. Don’t forget all the special events that will be happening throughout the two-week festival. Here are my top picks for culinary adventure:

• East Van Craft Brew and Culinary Tour: Vancouver Brewery Tours and Off the Eaten Track are joining forces to take you on a three-hour tour through some of East Van’s best brew-eries and restaurants. $65

• WE’s own Follow Me Foodie, Mijune Pak, presents 6 Course Discourse, an interactive evening of food, wine and conversation with six of Vancouver’s top chefs: John Bishop, Hamid Samilian, Vikram Vij, Owen Lightly, Tina Fineza and Scott Jaegar. January 20; $50.

• Street Food City is back for its third year, with 23 food trucks on rotation over a �ve-day period. Expect up to 15 trucks each day on the North Plaza of the Vancouver Art Gallery. Free admission, but you have to pay for the food.

I just came back from a couple weeks in Mexico and am quite excited about 2014.

We’ll learn more about the BC Liquor Policy Review that the province is looking

to implement, and see how many of the pro-posed changes, such as liquor in grocery stores and happy hours, will roll out.

And I’m looking forward to travelling to Chile, Germany and Washington State to dive deep into their respective vineyards and winer-ies, and of course seeing what the new year spells for the world of BC wine.

But I put in a fair amount of energy into exploring Mexican wines while I was there. Seriously; stay with me here.

Just as many people around the world are surprised there are good wines to be had from Canada, the same goes for Mexico. The main reason for this is volume — there’s simply not that much to go around. In fact, their produc-tion is currently around two million cases, which is roughly the same level as British Columbia’s current output.

They’ve been at it a tad longer though; Span-ish settlers planted vines in the 16th century. In fact, Mexico has been producing wine longer than any other country in the Americas. While 90 per cent of their production comes from the Baja Peninsula (which enjoys a similar climate

to Napa), a high concentration of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium in their soil has been known to occasionally add a slight ‘salty’ character to their wines, often making them a bit of an acquired taste.

While I found a good dose of Viogniers, Chenin Blancs, Merlots and Syrahs that were quite impressive, the availability of Mexican wine in our market is quite scarce. In saying that, I was able to track down one label I’d quite enjoyed:

L.A. Cetto Nebbiolo | Baja California, Mexico | $30-ish | Private Wine Stores

While I, and wine fans, may immediately think Barolo or Barbaresco when the Nebbiolo grape is mentioned, I was quite pleased to �nd many of the typical aromas and �avours you’d �nd back in Italy here, from tar and roses to dried fruit and chocolate. The style de�nitely leans ‘New World’ though, a little more ripe, generous fruit and a mouthfeel that’s quite rich and velvety. Grilled meats, wild mushrooms and very big wine glasses will serve it well. You can track a bottle down at Brewery Creek on Main Street, the Liberty Wines outlets at Granville Island and Park Royal in West Van, and a handful of other private stores.

As always, if you’re having trouble �nding some-thing or just want to say hi, �nd me via KurtisKolt.com or on Twitter @KurtisKolt.

Mexican wine: the Napa of BajaForage meets Meyer Family VineyardsAtop my inbox upon my return was a note about a pretty cool event, allowing you to discover why I’m often keen to recommend the wines of Meyer Fam-ily Vineyards of Okanagan Falls.

On January 15 at 6pm, winery owner JAK Meyer will be presenting a “side by side” single vineyard sam-pling, including their Gold Medal Reimer Vineyard Pinot Noir and Platinum Medal McLean Creek Road Chardonnay, alongside a four-course feast at Forage on Robson Street.

I’ve long been a fan of Chef Chris Whittaker’s hyper-local, sustainable fare; it should dovetail quite nicely with Meyer’s bright, elegant wines.

The whole thing’s just 65 bucks plus tax and tip. Track down tickets, and quick, at ForageVancouver.com.

Stamp out poor service Dear Canada Post: If you’re going to face the new world order, your leg-up on other parcel delivery � rms can be enhanced by doing something very simple: instruct your delivery person-nel to actually make an attempt to de-liver parcels directly. Four times over the past three weeks, I’ve found notice cards in my mailbox, advising me that a parcel was being held for me at my local sub post of� ce. Since I’m home most of the day and since my buzzer rings to my cell phone, I know that no effort was made to deliver the parcels to my door. I asked a Canada Post em-ployee if this was standard procedure and he said that it was at the discre-tion of the delivery person. WTF?! Customer service standards are at the whim of an employee?! If that’s an example of how this business intends to be run, maybe it’s time to not only cease door-to-door delivery (which, ironically, they seem to have already done with parcels) but to simply shut down altogether and leave the service to companies that know what to do, and how to treat customers.

Canadian Guy

The cruelty of strangersI don’t know what it is about some paranoid people or if it’s my overall appearance that seems to send those same people running in fear the

moment they see me, but after years of this kind of bullshit it gets really tiring and it’s extremely hurtful to me as a human being. Just today I was ascending the escalator at a downtown Skytrain station where perhaps 100 or more commuters were going about during the noon hour rush and some woman grabbed her purse and switched it from one arm to the next and then walked as far away from me as she could. Shit like this happens to me often and while I dress in clean fresh clothes, am well groomed and I use enough deoderant, toothpaste and mouthwash, soap and skin care products so that I won’t stink or have bad breath and look creepy I can really sympathize with other eth-nic minorities, people with disabilities and ‘Average Joes and Plain Janes’ who have dealt with this same racist/big-oted bullshit for years. Do I really need to wear a big sign on my chest that says, ‘I am a respectable, law-abiding person. I won’t rape you, kill you, steal your belongings, or try to sell you drugs in spite of my plus-sized, ethnic appearance’?

How about a new year’s resolution? Take your noses out of the air and try and treat everyone, regardless of who they are, their ethnicity, appearance, religious af� liation, and what level of the social/economic ladder they come from, and treat them as you would wish to be treated, otherwise known as the Golden Rule. You might even make a good friend who will be there when you need him/her if you take up my challenge.

VANCOUVERAND HAZARD TREE REMOVALS POWER LINE TREE PRUNING

When: December 2, 2013 to March 17, 2014 Time: 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Trees are a significant cause of power interruptions. Contact between trees and power lines can also create a severe danger.

Over the next few months we will be pruning and removing trees in the V6A, V6G and V6K Postal Code area of Vancouver.

Trees are pruned using the best arboriculture (tree care) practices. Skilled workers employed by BC Hydro are trained in both electrical safety and tree care. Only correct and proper techniques are used to eliminate any safety hazards.

Modest home sale and price increases in 2013

The Greater Vancouver housing market maintained a consistent bal-ance between demand and supply throughout 2013.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Van-couver reports that total sales of detached, attached and apartment properties in 2013 reached 28,524, a 14 per cent increase from the 25,032 sales recorded in 2012, and an 11.9 per cent decrease from the 32,390 residential sales in 2011.

“Home sales quietly improved last year compared to 2012, although the volume of activity didn’t compare to some of the record-breaking years we experienced over the last decade,” Sandra Wyant, REBGV president said.

Last year’s home sale total ranks as the third lowest annual total for the region in the last 10 years, according to the region’s Multiple Listing Service.

The number of residential properties listed for sale on MLS declined 6.2 per cent in 2013 to 54,742 compared to the 58,379 properties listed in 2012. The total represents an 8.1 per cent decline com-pared to the 59,539 residential properties listed for sale in 2011. Last year’s listing count is on par with the 10 year average.

By Kelsey Klassen

After 10 years at the forefront of the PuSh festival, co-founder and artistic director Norman Armour �nally feels

that he and his colleagues have done enough — enough to make the festival self-sustaining; to draw in more edgy and acclaimed arts companies from around the world; and to, maybe, one day, take a step back.

The festival’s tenth anniversary marks a moment of re�ection for a team that has worked tirelessly to bring the performing arts to the darkest days of winter in this city.

The �rst decade was about establish-ing trust with their newly cultivated audience (a mix of theatre goers, music and dance lovers, and �lmmakers — a

mirror of Armour’s experiences at SFU’s School for Contemporary Arts in the ‘80s). And with that trust, came sup-port.

After getting off the ground in 2003 and becoming a non-pro�t entity with the help of the City, the festival experi-enced a set of circumstances unlike any the city will see again this century.

First, PuSh seized the opportunity afforded by the impending Olympic Games to become a major partner in the 2010 Cultural Olympiad. Then, in 2011, together with the City of Vancouver, PuSh launched the of�cial celebrations of the city’s 125th anniver-sary with an outdoor event in Gastown that drew more than 7,000 people.

Armour recalls a sense of �scal foreboding at the end of that incredible run.

“A lot of money had come into the region with the Cultural Olympiad, and some of it remained, to a degree, for the 125th, and then it was gone. You also had the gaming [money], which was pulled away from adult groups for a period there. That was a scary moment of pushing the rock up the hill and wondering, personally, if I had it in me to push it up again.”

Despite the challenges, however, PuSh presented 160 performances and events over 19 days, with 31 sellouts in 2012. And Armour, along with co-founders such as Katrina Dunn, built an organization that warrants 19 board members and an advisory council.

And by 2013, Armour says he felt solid ground under the festival’s sup-ports.

“There were too many people who believed in this, too many forces at play that depended on it, too many people who expected it each and every year who had been won over or perhaps had been believers in the festival from the very beginning, that I thought, for the �rst time, ‘Wow, this is not going anywhere. This is here.’”

So what’s next? This anniversary brings with it the impending departure of Minna Schlendlinger, the festival’s managing director since 2005, who, Armour says, has achieved “everything she wanted to.”

“There will be a time for me as well,” he adds. “It’s not yet. Every day I come looking forward and excited. Even amongst all the challenges that remain, there are still things that I want to achieve and see realized.”

And Armour, last year’s recipient of the Mayor’s Civic Merit award, has the wherewithal to do so.

“From my experiences of living elsewhere and working elsewhere, if you want to make something happen in Vancouver, you often have to create the conditions for it to happen. By this time last year, we had created the con-ditions. Now there are more conditions [needed] for the long-term resilience and �ourishing of the festival for the next 10 years.”

Armour wants the festival to speak to what the city is and its diversity — the most direct way of which is to engage a

younger audience.Curating this year’s festival with

Joyce Rosario and Club PuSH’s Veda Hille and Tim Carlson, Armour also aims to see more work from continents such as Africa and South America, and anticipates presenting their �rst Nordic piece in 2015.

“With the change after the Olympics and the 125th, there is a gap in terms of commissioning monies to support not only the premiere of a work and its presentation but also its creative de-velopment — the kind of monies and support that will allow us to make new situations and opportunities for the contemporary performing arts. That’s a challenge I want to tackle; I want us to open up a broader base of support in terms of the private sector and I think we’re not alone.”

So the festival may be ‘crossing the line’ this year, as the anniversary slogan puts it, but it is by no hard yards the �nish line.

AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTYStarring Meryl Streep, Julia RobertsDirected by John Wells

If you think your family has problems, wait until you get a load of the truly dysfunctional bunch of characters in the dark and frequently hilarious August: Osage County.

Boasting a stellar cast including Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Chris Cooper, Ewan McGregor and Margo Martindale, director John Wells had the dif� cult task of paring down the original Tracy Letts play; Letts is also

credited with adapting the screenplay for the � lm version. For the most part, Wells and Letts do a commendable job of condensing the salient points of the southern sizzler, which is chock full of booz-ing, pill popping, self-loathing, in� delity and even a sprinkling of racism.

A family crisis brings three sisters (Julia Roberts, Juliette Lewis, and Julianne Nicholson) back to the Oklahoma home they grew up in to contend with their unstable mother Violet, played wonderfully by Streep. It should be noted that everyone is in top form here, particularly Martindale who nearly steals the show, while Chris Cooper shines in his best role in years.

The movie’s brilliant script cracks and pops along

at a brisk pace with enough awkward and cringe-worthy humour to make Larry David blush. Everything culminates like a powder keg in an explosive dinner scene and it’s never been so much fun to watch Julia Roberts drop F-bombs. It may not tie up all the loose ends but August: Osage County provides its formidable cast with the chance to shine in an era when script can so often be an afterthought.

Impressive cast anchors August

Thor Diakow

A family crisis brings a dysfunctional family (featuring Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts) back under one roof.

HERStarring Joaquin Phoenix, Scarlett Johansson, Rooney MaraDirected by Spike Jonze

Having asserted that “falling in love is just a socially accept-able form of insanity,” Spike Jonze’s Her goes on to illustrate that such madness takes myriad forms. For instance, there’s Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix), a depressed writer who � nds himself in the unexpected position of falling for Samantha (voiced by Scarlett Johansson), the revolutionary sentient operating system that powers his personal devices.

Remarkably, a premise that initially seems so slight it could barely sustain a quirky short � lm instead inspires a bold piece of speculative � ction well-stocked with heady ideas, keen insights and artful takes on both our innate desires and insecurities. Furthermore, it’s a deeply affecting work from a � lmmaker who’s more often celebrated for his visual talents.

That said, the design of the � lm does prove vital as it al-lows full immersion in a near-future Los Angeles of barely perceptible differences. Pants rise higher and public transit is fashionable but the effects of heartbreak haven’t diminished in the slightest. It’s devastating to watch Theodore cope with the emotional fallout of his ex’s (Rooney Mara) anger and come to terms with his personal failings. Consequently, we share in the solace he takes from Samantha’s assurance that “the past is just a story we tell ourselves.”

Jonze’s � lm not only seduces us through such beautifully expressed sentiments but also by way of its beguiling depic-tions of how Theodore’s fully-reciprocated infatuation with Samantha inspires confounding questions that don’t have any easy, much less eloquent, answers. Revelling in the fact that, at its heart, romance is irrational and absurd, Her ulti-mately assures us that we’re better to have loved and lost our minds. — Curtis Woloschuk

LONE SURVIVORStarring Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch, Ben FosterDirected by Peter Berg

Admittedly, there’s not much suspense regarding who makes it out alive in this dramatization of a real-life 2005 Navy SEAL operation in Afghanistan that went sideways. Likewise, gung-ho director Peter Berg’s involvement leaves little doubt as to how the subject matter will be handled: war may in-deed be hell but such conditions prove ideal for forging fraternal bonds that even death can’t break.

After a montage (which could double as a “wusses need not apply” recruit-ment video) of actual Navy SEALS test-ing their physical limits, Berg introduc-es us to their � ctional stand-ins who are spoiling for a � ght. Soon enough, four elite operatives who eat impossible odds for breakfast — played by Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch and Ben Foster — are dispatched to � ush out a Taliban heavy. Instead, they discover how the best laid plans can be completely undone by the inoppor-tune arrival of some goat herders.

The inclusion of make-up artists Gregory Nicotero and Howard Berger — who cut their teeth in horror — in the credits warns of the gore that ensues as this band of brothers tries to shoot their way out of trouble. How-ever, the slaughterhouse-worthy blood-shed is hardly the most objectionable aspect of Berg’s � lm. Rather, it’s how the � lmmaker cranks Explosions in the Sky’s soaring, dramatic music and distastefully stages the SEAL’s last stand as if it were just another “big game” in Friday Night Lights. It’s a decidedly blunt force mode of manipulation but it’ll likely result in many lunkheads exiting the theatre and high-� ving a bro they love the � rst chance they get. — Curtis Woloschuk

Toyota has always been a logical purchase, based on reliability and durability

but now its designs too are capturing buyers with a visual,

desirable esthetic.Zack Spencer

2014 Toyota Highlander: Prettier in form and functionCARMEL, CA: The Toyota Highlander is a perfect ex-ample of the trend towards crossovers away from traditional SUVs. Before its 2001 introduc-tion, the Toyota SUV of choice was the 4Runner, built off a pickup truck plat-form, providing ruggedness and versatility. Crossovers now accomplish the same versatility in terms of seating, cargo and all wheel drive capability but do so with a better on-road drive, thanks to a car-based platform. The first Highlander was rather small, about the same size as a compact crossover today.In 2008, its size was adjusted to make room for a standard third row of seats. Now the Highlander has grown again and is packed with more standard equipment and features.

Looks Toyota has always been a logical purchase, based on reliability and durability but now its designs too are capturing buyers with a visual, desirable esthetic. The 2014 edition is 7.5cm longer (mostly in the rear seat and cargo area), 1.5cm wider and 3cm lower. The stance is wide and lower, making more of a visual impact. Combine this with a large grille borrowed from the Tundra pickup truck and the Highlander has a very rugged, yet polished, look that

makes it more North American looking.I believe that this is the best-looking Highlander to date and import buy-ers will take note and a few domestic intenders should too.

Inside The dash is much improved with more soft-touch materi-als and a large 6.1-inch screen in the centre of the dash on the base LE or an 8.0-inch screen on

all other models, makes operation easy. One problem is the angle of the screen is hard to see if there is any sunshine, the glare a bit more than I had anticipat-ed. Back up camera is standard.Below the screen and heat controls is a tray-like shelf that runs from the middle to the passenger side of the dash. This is a clever space to place your smartphone but also enable it to be plugged in. The cup holder is large and the centre armrest has a massive storage area in-side; this is thanks to the removal of the stowaway seat that used to hide under the centre armrest. Now in the second row of seats there are three permanent seats or two captain’s chairs in the top Limited model. The previous hideaway idea was simple but not so comfortable. The biggest change takes place in the third row of seats, where three people can sit rather than just two. In addition,

there is 100L of cargo space behind the third row of seats offering much better functionality. It has all the interior amenities that one expects in a modern three-row crossover, even a system that allows the driver’s voice to be amplified through the stereo for easier conversations with passengers in the very back, but there seems to be a lack of sophistication compared to its competition.

Drive The previous Highlander was available with a 4-cylinder engine and front wheel drive (FWD). It’s with a standard 3.5L V6 with 270hp, matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission, also with FWD. The starting price stays at $31,680; factoring in the backup camera there is good value here. When it arrives later this month, the base LE with all wheel drive (AWD) starts at $34,180. I think most people will opt for the LE with convenience package that includes 8-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, three-zone climate control, satellite radio and leather steering wheel to name a few. This brings the price up to $34,480 for the FWD and $36,980 for the AWD. On the road, the AWD system sends power to just the front wheels as often as possible with only 10 per cent of the torque shifting when cornering. The system has the ability to shift or lock up to 50 per cent of the power for better traction but limiting it to times

when it is truly needed helps improve fuel economy. The other part of the fuel economy story is the all-new 6-speed automatic. The official fuel rating for the most popular AWD model is 11.5L/100km in the city and 8.2L on the highway, which is almost a full litre improvement in combined highway/city economy over the 2013 model. The rear suspension has been modified for a slightly more dynamic drive and improved ride. The steering is rather light and vague but the buyers of this type of product will appreciate the ease of use.

Verdict The Highlander is a functional vehicle for young buyers with kids and friends that need to get to practice and carry all the sports equipment that goes with it. Overall, a very good family cross-over that will get the job done every day.
