LynnValley totempole to go

BRENT [email protected]

Its been standing watch over LynnValley for morethan three decades but the totem pole in KayBorrows Park has rotted, possibly beyond repair.

The District of NorthVancouver is planning to bringthe pole down sometime this month, citing safety issues.

The totem pole is getting to be a concern becauseits getting very old and theres some structural defectsin the pole that may result in it falling, said districtparks manager Judy Rogers. We had an arborist and astructural engineer look at it and the recommendationfrom both is to remove it.

The pole at LynnValley Road and 29th Street is rifewith dry rot, burrowing insects, birds making nests indecayed nooks and woodpeckers, Rogers said.

The pole is the work of the late Ken Mayo, thedistricts former sign maker. Mayo was not a member ofany of the Coast Salish First Nations, but carved the polefor the district in the late 1970s.The district has sinceinformed Mayos son about the poles removal and putthe word out on its website and social media channels.

That stoked some keen interest from Brad Baker,the NorthVancouver school districts head of aboriginalprogramming.

When I saw that tweet by the district, I thoughtOh man, its a perfect opportunity for the students inthe LynnValley area, through our carving program, torestore it if its restorable, Baker said.

If possible, Baker said hed like to recruit local FirstNations artist to help teach both aboriginal and non-aboriginal students and bring it back to its originalcolours and shape.

If you look at the bigger picture down the road,theres a belief on my part that every school shouldhave a Squamish orTsleil-Waututh welcome pole at itsentrance, he said.

Right now, the only two NorthVancouver high schoolsthat dont have an authentic Coast Salish pole are Argyleand Mountainside secondary, Baker said.

Rogers said shes open to all pitches for what comesof the pole but it will be dependent on what shape itsin. Engineers wont know for sure until they get it on theground.

Its highly likely the district will replace the polewith a new piece of public art to accompany theredevelopment of the adjacent LynnValley Centre. Anynew art for Kay Burrows Park would be selected inconsultation with the surrounding community groups,Rogers said.

There are still suspects but not oneculprit when it comes to the rashof E. coli bacteria that keptWestVancouverites stuck in the sand thissummer.

The North Shores medical healthofcer Dr. Mark Lysyshyn appearedbeforeWestVancouver council Monday totalk about beach closures at Ambleside,Dundarave, Eagle Harbour and Sandy

Cove in July and August.Beaches are closed to swimming

whenever the E. coli coliform count risesabove 200 bacteria in 100 millilitres ofwater, which can cause gastrointestinalillness and infection of wounds.Thesummers high count was 502, recorded atEagle Harbour.

Theres a lot of contributors tofecal contamination in water, Lysyshynexplained.

However, after rounding up the usualsuspects,Vancouver Coastal Health is nocloser to identifying the cause, accordingto Lysyshyn.

The Lions Gate sewage treatment plantwas ruled out after a brief investigation,according to Lysyshyn. We reviewed theirtesting results and it didnt seem like therewas anything untoward, he said.

Some observers suspected the highcounts were caused by a cruise shipunburdening itself of sewage but thatseems unlikely, according to Lysyshyn.

The vast majority of cruise shipsare equipped with onboard sewagetreatment that are more advanced than thetechnology at the Lions Gate sewage plant.

That water is cleaner than what iscoming out of our sewage treatmentplants, Lysyshyn said.

Besides being forbidden fromdischarging sewage within 12 nauticalmiles of Canada, measured from the tip ofVancouver Island, the cruise ships are alsomonitored by satellite surveillance.

Animal feces rolling downhill intothe water following a heavy rain is still apossibility, according to Lysyshyn.

The E. coli problem was likely

exacerbated by dredging at DundaraveBeach and the summers relatively stillwaters. The slow-moving tide denitelycontributes to this because once thesebacteria are in the water, normallytheyre being washed out by those tides,Lysyshyn explained.

Asked if waste from another rivermight have been washing up onWestVanbeaches, Lysyshyn was noncommittal.

District staff have told us that logsfrom the Fraser River come up right onthe shore inWestVancouver. Im not sureif logs oat by the same patterns as fecalmatter, so were not really sure.

Expensive studies could be undertaken,butVCH is opting to wait until nextyear to gauge the situation, according toLysyshyn. Judging from the past I wouldimagine that this wont occur next year.

Source of beach-water E. coli unknown:VCHHealth authority rulesout cruise ships, sewageplant as culprits

Whether they are gettingbehind the wheel aftertoomany beers at thebarbecue or driving whiletexting a friend, a numberof NorthVancouverresidents still havent gotthemessage about whatsacceptable when youre inthe drivers seat, accordingto local RCMP.

On Sept. 5, NorthVancouver RCMPs trafcpatrol handed out 15tickets after taking part inNational Impaired DrivingEnforcement Day. Ofcersset up roadblocks at severallocations around NorthVancouver. Six driverswho blew over .08 werehanded immediate 90-daysuspensions. Five moredrivers, who blew between.05 and .08, were handedthree-day suspensions.Others, including newdrivers with any level ofalcohol in their system orthose who failed roadsidesobriety tests, were issuedsuspensions of between 12and 24 hours.

RCMP Cpl. Richard DeJong, spokesman for thedetachment, said people arewrong if they think drunkdriving is more likely tohappen at Christmas.Warmweather, longer daylighthours and an emphasis onleisure and socializing in thesummer can lead to spikes inthe number of drunk drivers,he said.

ThisWednesday, policewere out again this timereminding drivers to leavetheir phone alone and focuson the road. Ofcers issued21 tickets for distracteddriving in just an hour anda half.The ne for usingan electronic device whiledriving without being hands-free is $167.

has approved chargesagainst former governmentstaffer Brian Bonneyand B.C. Liberal Partyemployee Mark Robertsonfollowing an investigationinto last years quick winsethnic outreach scandal.

According to courtdocuments released by theCriminal Justice Branch,Bonney and Robertsonare alleged to have paidSarrafpour to work on thebyelection campaign inPort Moody-Coquitlamwithout telling candidateDavid Marsdens nancialagent about the payment, asrequired under the ElectionAct.

The work by Sarrafpouris alleged to have takenplace between Feb. 22 andApril 19, 2012.

A numbered companydoing business as MainlandCommunications,connected to the two men,is also named in the courtdocuments.

The criminaljustice branch said theinvestigation into the caseis continuing and a nalreport is not expected untilnext year.

But onWednesday,Sarrafpour praised RCMPinvestigators and Butcherfor their handling of thecase, saying she is condent

in the outcome.I know they went

through all the detailsand checked every singledocument, she said. Ihave no doubt inthe result.

Details of what workSarrafpour did on thebyelection campaign havenot been made public.

Last year, she wasrevealed as the womanwho was the subject of analleged hush-money plotin emails related to theprovincial ethnic outreachscandal.

Sarrafpour worked as the

B.C. Liberal caucuss ethniccommunity liaison to winsupport in various ethniccommunities, but quit herjob in September of 2012.

Her departure left partyloyalists scrambling to winher back into the fold.

Have (former MLA)Harry Bloy meet with herand explain how doinganything would damagethe premier and the party.Have him say how we willtry to nd her work andget her back involved,read an email writtenby former governmentcommunications managerBrian Bonney and laterreleased by the NDP.

If need be, offer herx dollars per month todo non public work upto election (developingher database of potentialsupporters.)

Sarrafpour conrmedshe was offered a job byformer MLA Harry Bloybut didnt take it.

Sarrafpour said after shequit, I was blacklisted byher former political allies.I was not able to get ajob.

The whole situationaffected me nancially,emotionally socially,publicly, she said.Basically they ruined mylife and reputation.

She said only her beliefthat she was doing the right

thing and support shownby investigators workingon the case helped herthrough.

They really saved my lifeat a time when everybodywas afraid, she said.

Sarrafpour does not faceany charges.

After the ethnic outreachscandal went public inMarch 2013, PremierChristy Clark apologizedfor the leaked plan toachieve quick winsamong ethnic voters, thenMulticulturalism MinisterJohnYap resigned fromcabinet and several politicalstaffers including Bonneyresigned.

Robertson still worksfor the B.C. Liberals asdirector of eld operations.

In a statement releasedMonday, the B.C. LiberalParty characterized theactions behind the chargesas an error in nancialreporting that had sincebeen corrected.

In November 2013,it was brought to ourattention that the partyhad misreported a $2,240expenditure related tothe 2012 Port MoodyCoquitlam byelection. InDecember 2013, the partyled an amendment toreallocate the expenditure,which Elections B.C.accepted, the statementsaid, adding, Amendments

are permissible under theact, and are commonly ledby all parties.

But NDP critic MikeFarnworth said the latestdevelopments show thepremier knew she hadsomething to hide aboutthe connection betweenBonneys taxpayer-fundedrole in government andpartisan Liberal activities.

The HollyburnSailing Club:MoreGrosvenorization ofWestVancouver? Fairness,myworst fault, makes mereective.

AgentY6xE9j reportsthat the club may besailing away into thesunset next year put ona month-to-month lease,almost always the precursorto redevelopment. Clubcommodore Roy Morfordsresponse:

No gossip or rumours,just the facts. Last yearwe celebrated our 50thanniversary. The clubsrst premises consisted ofan old garden shed locatedat Dundarave Beach. Change being the onlyconstant, I fully expectmore changes, particularlywithWestVancouvers plansfor Ambleside.

Regardless of ourlocation, our lease or otherfactors, I am condent we

shall continue to be a xtureon theWestVancouverwaterfront for many yearsto come. Indeed, our mayorhas said so on more thanone occasion.

Notice nowhere doesMorford, a witty chap, denythe rumour.

Now this admirablycrisp reaction from MichaelWard, senior vice-presidentand general manager ofGrosvenor Americas:

Grosvenor continues tosupport the HollyburnSailing Club in its currentlocation but respects theopinion of the district andthe community should theythink otherwise.

So Grosvenor supportsthe clubs location. Couldit be that town hall isbusting an intestinal tractto anticipate whims thatGrosvenor doesnt have, ordoes it have its own dreamof commercialization ofAmbleside Beach?

Ward also explains theconict between the datesforWestVans Amblesidepolice station to vacateand the glossy Grosvenorproject to begin:

Grosvenor Amblesidewill be built in two phases.Construction of the rstphase (westerly side of theblock) is expected to beginat the end of 2014 or early2015. Construction of thesecond phase . . . where the

police station is currentlylocated will commenceonly after the district hasconstructed the new PublicSafety Building and hasrelocated the police to thislocation.

Then why this? All foursmall businesses cheek-by-jowl with the station near the blocks east end have been given noticeto vacate at the end of nextmonth. Long before thepolice depart, sod-turningon the new building noteven close. Maybe themodest businesses dont tnicely with the Grosvenorshowroom being builtbeside them?

WestVan council heardthe pitch for the proposedWoodbre natural gasoperation Monday. AsAgent 6Tcu03 implies,the current environmentalassessment and opposition

by the Squamish bandmay kill it without painfulpolitical decisions.

JohnWeston, MP forWestVancouver-SunshineCoast-Sea to Sky, politelywrites about a recent itemhere: You are wrongin surmising the primeminister or his ofce hadanything to do with myopinion concerningWestVan councils motion onthe proposed (Howe Soundliqueed natural gas) plant.The opinion is my own.

I gladly stand corrected,but gently ask:Would anMP, of any party, knowinglydo something the partyleader wouldnt like?

MeanwhileWeston isaggressively campaigningfor re-election in Novembernext year not May, asrecently stated here, thoughsome Liberals expect orperhaps want the federalvote earlier.

Figures quoted hereabout the Howe SoundLNG project have beenvigorously challenged.Theopponents claim:

If approved,WoodbreLNG says it will discharge17,000 tonnes ofchlorinated, desalinatedwater, 10 degrees hotterthan at intake, into HoweSound every hour of everyday for the next 25-plusyears.The effect of this onthe marine food chain inthe Sound . . . could bedevastating.

Responding, FredBowyer,WestVancouverretired engineer grad whodeclares neither professionalnor nancial interest in theproject (and his origins atthe other end of the socialscale from the admiralwhose name adorns BowyerIsland), writes:

Redevelopment to set sailing club adrift?

Ripple effectRising ferry fares combined withservice cutbacks have scuppereda sizable chunk of the provinceseconomy, according to a report releasedthis week.The report commissioned by

the Union of B.C. Municipalitiesconcluded fare hikes over the pastdecade have cost the province about$2.3 billion in foregone economicactivity. Because while passengervolumes increased for most othermodes of transportation during thattime frame, on B.C. Ferries they fellsharply.Small coastal communities dependent

on ferry trafc may have taken thebiggest hit, but theyre not the onlyones on stormy seas.The report makesit clear theres also been a signicantripple effect.One suggestion oated by the report

is to consider an often overlookedlevel of government for a life ring inOttawa which receives back in taxesconsiderably more than it invests inthe system. But the overwhelmingissues faced by B.C. Ferries are still theprovinces to consider.Politicians and ferry executives were

busy doing the backstrokeWednesday,taking pains not to see the obviousrelationship between rising fares andtravellers decisions to take a pass.But the evidence presented just

makes common sense.Why take afamily toVancouver Island on vacationwhen you can go south of the borderfor far cheaper?Even user pay systems only work

as long as there are still users.Whenthey disappear, the report made clear, itaffects everyone nancially whetherthey live in Lonsdale or Lund.

Theres no doubt thatemotions are runninghigh in the teacherscontract dispute, so it isperhaps not surprisingthat all kinds of peopleare trying to whip upenthusiasm gettingrecall campaignsorganized against B.C.Liberal MLAs.

All I can say is, goodluck with that. Sincethe recall legislationcame into effect in the1990s, there have been24 applications for arecall campaign ledwith Elections B.C.; onlya handful got off theground, and all failedmiserably (one waswithdrawn after the MLAin question quit).

The bar for recallingan MLA is rightly set veryhigh. For a recall petitionto succeed and force abyelection, 40 per centof the registered votersin the riding in questionmust sign the petitionwithin 60 days.

In a number of B.C.sridings, the numberof signatures requiredexceeds the number

of people who actuallyvoted, in total, in the lastprovincial election.

On social media(Twitter and Facebook),many teachers areexcitedly talking aboutlaunching a recallcampaign againstEducation Minister PeterFassbender in his ridingof Surrey-Fleetwood.

For such a campaignto succeed, 14,226 peoplein his riding must signa petition within twomonths.To put that inperspective, slightly lessthan 18,000 people intotal even voted in Surrey-Fleetwood in the lastelection (including 8,200for Fassbender).

This means that about80 per cent of those whovoted last time wouldhave to sign the petition,or that thousands ofpeople who didnt votebefore would have to beconvinced to participatein an electoral processthat they refused topartake in previously.

There is little evidence yet that the generalpublic is as up in armsover the dispute as theteachers understandablyare.There are no doubt alot of angry and frustratedparents out there, but onlyabout half of those wholive in Fassbenders ridinglikely even have childrenin the school system,so why should they beexpected to sign a petitionbooting him from ofceen masse?

Others have suggesteda recall campaign againstPremier Christy Clark

herself in her ridingofWestside-Kelowna.There, more than 18,000people would have tosign a recall petition forit to go forward, whichmeans almost every singleperson who voted in herbyelection victory wouldhave to sign it.

And I cant see many

MLArecall campaignssimply dontwork

Do you think we need more and better motorvehicle parking within the City of North Vancouver?

I do and I believe we must compel all newresidential development projects to providesufficient parking within each building to meetthe eventual needs of the occupants!

When a development project is allowed, andthere is insufficient parking, the occupants relyon street parking, stealing from the needs of ourbusiness community. Without sufficient streetparking our business community cannot remainviable!

MORRIS FOR MAYOR


VIEWPOINT

of her near-12,000supporters (those whovoted for her last time)siding with the BCTeachers Federation overhaving a premier as theirMLA.

All this talk of recallcampaigns suggests,again, that many BCTFmembers communicate inan echo chamber, wherethe only thing they hearis each other.The averageperson wants schoolsto be open, but doesntnecessarily support theBCTF on everything.

As I suggested in lastweeks column, the publicis likely of the a pox onboth your houses viewwhen it comes to theteachers dispute, whichdoesnt translate intobooting MLAs from ofcebecause the teachersunion is furious.

In the end, a recallcampaign arising fromthat dispute has about

as much a chance ofsucceeding as does oneof BCTF president JimIkers suggestions: raisingtaxes to pay for a newteachers contract. Inother words, no chance.

Vancouver MayorGregor Robertson hasmade the proposed $1.9-billion Broadway subwayline the centrepiece of hisre-election campaign, butI fail to see how he canrealistically expect theprovince to fund it anytime soon.

As Ive noted before,that line would run rightthrough two provincialridings (Vancouver-Fairview and Vancouver-Point Grey) that gave theboot to the BC Liberalsin the last provincialelection. As a result, thechances of a BC Liberalgovernment pushing thatparticular transportationproject anywhere near the

top of its infrastructurepriorities list is ratherremote.

The political centre, aslong as the BC Liberalsare in power, has shiftedout of Vancouver. As aresult, transportationprojects in places suchas Surrey and Langleyand the Fraser Valleystand a far better chanceof receiving signicantprovincial governmentfunding than anything inVancouver.

The Broadway linewould also need thenancial support of thefederal government, butthe line runs throughthe Liberal-held seat ofVancouver Quadra.

So unless federalLiberal leader JustinTrudeau wins the nextelection, dont expectmuch coming fromOttawa.

Reynolds said whilesome people dont see thevalue in the monarchy, Iconsider the monarchyour insurance policy. Ifthings get really bad we canappeal to the queen or theking and they can halt ourpolitical leaders.

Its great to have thehead of your country whois not a politician, sheadded.

DISCOVER and Experience the Miracle-Ear Advantage.

Delay dementiacould hearing aids be the answer?Seniors who have untreated hearing loss may be atan increased risk for developing dementia, a lossof brain function that can affect memory, thinking,language, judgment and behavior. This is the findingof a study conducted by researchers from the Divi-sion of Otology at Johns Hopkins University School ofMedicine.

The study included 639 people whose hearing and

cognitive abilities were tested over a period of time,starting in 1990 and concluding in 2008. Research-ers found that study participants who had hearing loss atthe beginning of the study were significantly morelikely to develop dementia by the end of the study.How might hearing loss and dementia be connected?Investigators arent sure, but they think a commonpathology may underlie both conditions, or possibly

the strain of decoding sounds over the years mayoverwhelm the brains of people with hearing loss,leaving them more vulnerable to dementia.

The article concludes that, whatever the cause, thesefindings may offer a starting point for further researchas to whether interventions, even as simple as hear-ing aids, could delay or prevent dementia by improvingpatients hearing.

Kay Meek Centre 2014-2015 seasonpreview. For more information and a fullschedule visit kaymmekcentre.com.

Its been a decade since Kay Meek Centreopened its doors with its inaugural publicperformance.

With the 2014-2015 season prepared tolaunch, offering North Shore residents a diverserange of music, theatre, lm and childrensprogramming, those involved with theWestVancouver arts centre are full of enthusiasm forthe year to come.

The 10th anniversary is denitelysomething that were quite excited about, saysJeanne LeSage, Kay Meeks executive director.

The arts centre continues to present high-calibre professional artists, providing a uniqueexperience for local residents in their ownbackyards.

I think thats whats unique about the KayMeek Centre and thats whats very importantabout its place on the North Shore, saysLeSage.

In addition, centre staff work to ensure itspresentations remain accessible for all. Wevealways made sure that there are tickets startingfrom $25 for all of our shows, she says.

What LeSage also feels is unique aboutKay Meek is its strong focus on working withcommunity partners, including outside groupsthat use the space, as well as theWestVancouverSchool District, which accesses the centre on aregular basis.

This is very much in line with what KayMeek herself really had in mind when shestarted working with the team to build thisplace, says LeSage. Her wish was very muchthat this be a community hub, so that you couldsee professional artists but also kids get to getup on that same stage and get to try things outon their own.

Kay Meek Centres season opener is set

for Oct. 1 in its GrosvenorTheatre, bringingtogether well-known B.C. artists BarneyBentall, Jim Byrnes and John Mann.

Its going to be a fantastic show, saysLeSage. Its the rst time the three of themhave played together.

Other highlights of Kay Meeks upcomingmusic series include a performance bysaxophonist and composer Joe Lovanoand trumpeter Dave Douglas on Oct. 19,showcasing their quintet, Sound Prints.Theshow is a co-presentation with the BlueShoreFinancial Centre for the Performing Arts atCapilano University, a frequent collaboratorwith Kay Meek.

The Cecelia Quartet will take the stage Oct.26 and Marc Cohn will perform Jan. 25, 2015in addition to a host of other artists through tothe spring.

Lowbudget thriller packs a punch Coherence.Writtenand directed by JamesWard Byrkit.Rating: 8 (out of 10)

JULIE CRAWFORDContributingWriter

After a summer ofblockbuster excess, itstime for a little reminderthat lmmakers canoccasionally make a bigsplash with a drop-in-the-bucket budget.

Enter Coherence, a lmwritten, produced anddirected by JamesWardByrkit.

Despite tight nancesand tighter shootingschedule just ve nights Byrkit has crafted athoughtful sci- mysterythat plays with the conceptsof identity, reality and,ultimately, the importanceof not getting rid of yourland line.

The evening begins witha typical yuppie dinnerparty: bring your ownbottle and bring your ownbaggage. Each guest hassome secret regret that they

bring to the table, literally.Em (Emily Baldoni) is adancer who nearly made it;Mike (Nicholas Brendan)is aTV actor no one canremember; Ems beauKevin (Maury Serling) maystill have the hots for Laurie(Lauren Mahir); assortedsubstance-abuse spectresand career disappointmentslurk just below the surface.

Em arrives at the houseafter having had her cellphone crack while she washolding it in her hand.Weird, no one else can getcell service at all. Could ithave anything to do withthe comet, scheduled topass unusually close toEarth that night?

Em indulges in a littlecomet history and how itcan make people loopy.(Not 1984s Night of theCometValley-girl crazy,but crazy for real.) Afterthe lights go out Hugh(Hugo Armstrong) decidesto wander over to theonly lighted house in theneighbourhood and phone

Even though much of hiscareer was spent working in1/25 scale, EijiTsuburayaremains a giant in the lmindustry.He began as acameraman in 1919 butit would be his later yearsthat provided the chanceto make his mark. In 1953,when already in his fties, hewas given free rein to createJapans rst movie monster.

Godzilla became the mostexpensive lm the country

had made and was an instantsuccess.

His reputation for creatingincredible visual effects grewas big as his monsters andsoonTsuburaya was wagingbattles between Godzilla,Rodan,Mothra, King Kong,Ultraman and a long cast ofother mutants.Throughoutthe sixtiesTsuburaya workednon-stop on lms andtelevision programs.

Fantastic behind thescenes photographs ll thepages and complement the

detailed accounts of thelmmaking and developmentof the many productions.The rst Godzilla suit was soheavy the actor inside,HaruoNakajima, could barely moveit.A second version, stillhefty at 225 pounds, wascreated and that was the onethat stomped throughTokyo.Over the years,Tsuburayasmonsters destroyed majorcities around the world whilehis most enduring hero,Ultraman, repeatedly savedthe day.

Exhibition recreates arthistoryongallerywalls

Kelly Lyman:Underglow, PresentationHouse Gallery.Openingreception: Friday, Sept. 12at 7 p.m.

[email protected]

Theres wall to wall artat Presentation HouseGallery this fall.

The gallery is hot andteeming with workers just afew days before the openingof a new installation thatoffers viewers a chance toexperience one of NewYorksmost inuential art salons.

Painters are applyingthe precise shade of blueto burlap walls and thewaiting wainscoting whilethe placement of lightsand ledges is meticulouslyplanned in an attempt tocreate a vision of a version ofGallery 291.

In the days before theFirstWorldWar, Gallery 291was the rst and in somecases the only place in NorthAmerica to see the work ofEuropean artists like Rodin,Picasso and Czanne.

The small salondisappeared from the NewYork art world in 1917 butcurious esthetes whovewondered what it might belike to tread on its hardwoodoors can experience avery close facsimile atPresentation House Gallery.

The replica isVancouverartist Kelly Lycans concept.Wearing a smock smotheredin paint splatter, Lycanexplains her interest inthe evolution of exhibitionspaces from shoebox salonsto palatial galleries.

Presentation House isgoing into a new space andthis is looking back at an oldspace, she explains.

The shows title,Underglow, is intendedunderline Gallery 291sinuence.

In a painting you paintit white underneath to createan underglow, she says.The historical underglow isof interest to me.

Many museums and

galleries likely owe a debt tothe trendsetting space, butdespite its importance theexact dimensions of Gallery291 are lost.

Lycan pored over booksand online images to createthe optical experience ondisplay at PHG.

Its taking twodimensions and turningit into three dimensions,she says of transformingher research into a fully-formed installation. Lycanthen gestures to the otherside of the gallery. And thisis about taking the threedimensional and making ittwo dimensional.

The other side of theexhibition space is an

imitation of white cubespaces, like the Museumof ModernArt and theGuggenheim.

After the works of Rodinand Picasso were exhibitedin Gallery 291, theygraduated to those whitecube spaces.

In the space of a few feet,Lycans installation mimicsthe journey those paintingstravelled over decades.

Im not putting any arton the wall because we knowwhat that art looks like, sheexplains. Im also interestedin how to represent imageswithout images beingpresent.

Instead of putting art onthe walls, Lycan has made

the walls her art.She snapped thousands

of pictures of walls of famousart galleries, ultimatelyselecting six contours toreproduce in shadow andlight on PHGs walls.

Its a visual experience,she says.

Asked if any of themuseums were resistant toletting Lycan snap pictures,she responds: I didnt ask,later allowing that a fewclandestine techniques wererequired.

The photos have anillusionistic quality,according to Lycan, whoexplains how one dark

his astrophysicist brother,who instructed him tophone if anything seemedamiss as the comet passed.Hugo returns distraught.He and Amir (AlexManugian) have seen amirror of their dinner party:same house, same people.And they return with a boxfull of unnerving clues.

Initially there are allkinds of theories aboutwhat is causing all thestrange incidents: Beth(Elizabeth Gracen) talksabout a freaky feng shuivortex in the house; oneof the guests may be a tinybit psychic; someone elsemay have put an echinacea-ketamine cocktail in thefood.

Meanwhile there are allsorts of handheld-camerascares and things that gobump in the dark.Theres apertinent discussion aboutSchrodingers CatTheoryand all sorts of alternate-reality weirdness. ButByrkits is a pared-down

quantum physics lesson,and thanks to some colour-coded glow sticks theproposed theories are easyfor the audience to follow.

Ever in the backgroundis the question: whichversion of ourselves wouldwe choose, if we could?Which would we let die?

The only membersof crew permitted on setduring the ve-night shootwere the cameramen.Coherence is experimentalin that there was no script,just a notecard given tothe actors each morningdescribing their charactersgeneral motivation, plusthe occasional detail towork into the dialogue.With no knowledge ofwhere the other actors weregoing during the scene, theresult is a real-time, largelyimprovised experience.

It sounds slap-dash,but its not. A committedand expressive ensemblecast keeps the fear realuntil daylight comes.Whathappens next is a wholeother story.
