Mistaken ID-entistry dogs retired NV dentist Brent Richter

A retired North Vancouver dentist wants his patients to know: He is not the man who is accused of running an illegal and unsafe dentistry practice, even though they have the same name. News broke last week about a David (Tung Sheng) Wu operating out of a Burnaby bedroom, without any training or proper hygienic standards. The Fraser Health Authority issued a statement calling on the man’s patients to get tested for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. But when reporters caught wind of the alleged bedroom dentist, some went to print or air with their stories not knowing there was another David Wu who, properly qualiﬁed, practised dentistry in Burnaby and, before that, North Vancouver. Others mistook the North Shore Wu as the man accused by the college and called him asking for comment. “Some people are still See No page 3

The B.C. Criminal Justice Branch had been reviewing the case since June when the civilian Independent Investigations Ofﬁce of B.C. completed its investigation and concluded an offence may have taken place.

Officers responded to the Scotiabank on Lonsdale Avenue at 14th Street on Dec. 13 last year after staff reported someone trying to use false ID in the bank. Suspect Patrick Umbach fled before officers could nab him, so police set up a roadblock and called in the canine unit. The police dog picked up his scent and led officers to a bush on Chesterfield Avenue at 14th where Umbach was attempting to hide.

The dog then crawled under the bush, bit Umbach on the thigh and held on until ofﬁcers pulled him off. But with no proof that the dog section ofﬁcer involved used excessive force, there was no likelihood of winning an assault conviction in court, the Crown concluded on Wednesday. “The available evidence does not establish that the use of the dog in this incident was outside of normal RCMP training and standards for competent dog handling. It appears that the police services dog engaged the suspect on its own volition without command of the dog handler,” the report from Crown states. “Notwithstanding the

RCMP’s mounted ofﬁcers present 2 shows at Mahon Park Jeremy Shepherd jshepherd@nsnews.com

David Wu

No worry for real dentist’s patients From page 1 confusing me with the Mr. David Wu of Burnaby who has been an illegal dentist,” said Wu, who practised in North Vancouver from 1974 to 2000. “And I’m a little bit concerned some of those patients who haven’t seen me for many years may be confusing me with that person, and that they may still think they need to go have their blood tested. . . . If they happen to be my former patients, they can rest assured. They don’t have to worry or have the least concern.” Since the scandal broke, Wu has been personally calling former patients to reassure them, where possible, but the mistaken identity has left a mark, he said. “I actually had one comment on the CBC website saying. ‘Dr. Wu, I can’t believe you’ve become a shadow of a man.’ That was directed to me, not Mr. Wu, so that really hurt,” he said. Wu practised in an office at Lonsdale and 16th for the first 15 years of his career before moving to an office on the ground floor of 145 East 13th Street in 1990. He sold the practice to Dr. Diana Plavsic in 2000 to retire before building a new business on Hastings Street in Burnaby more than a year later. ACanada-widearrestwarrant has been issued for David (Tung Sheng) Wu.

HOOF-BEATS will resound in North Vancouver this week as 32 thoroughbreds trot into town for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police musical ride, scheduled for Aug. 21 at Mahon Park. Officers will lead the 520-kilogram black thoroughbreds through carefully choreographed cavalry drills in two shows set for 2:30 and 6:30 p.m. For North Vancouver Const. Anthony Cameron, the annual event provided an entry into an activity he’d always been curious about. “I didn’t have any horse riding experience at all,” he says. “It’s something that I always wanted to do as a kid but never had the opportunity. . . . They actually taught me right from scratch.” Cameron ultimately spent four summers astride a stallion for the travelling show. “I was able to see Canada on horseback from coast to coast.” In order to bond with Cameron’s first horse, Wimzie, the constable spent three hours in the saddle each day, beginning in January. Establishing that connection means realizing how the horse interprets your energy, Cameron explains. “They’re very perceptive on how the rider feels, so if you’re tense, the horse knows that.” The musical ride is a meticulously planned affair, and officers take about 16 weeks to learn the routine. While riders and horses are often paired up based on ability and temperament, the horse’s relationship with his fellow equines also must be considered. “You have to take into consideration how the horses get along with each other as well,” Cameron says, explaining that certain horses shouldn’t be side by side during the performance. In order to offset the costs of the show, RCMP is looking for a few equine aficionados who wouldn’t mind adopting one of the horses during their three-day stay in North Vancouver. For the price of $1,000, 36 donors can have their name inscribed on a horse’s stall in Kinsman Park. A contribution of $500 warrants gold partner status, and earns the donor seating for two, website advertising, and their name adorned on show banners. The musical ride has remained an annual tradition since 1887, despite the RCMP discontinuing horse patrols in 1936. The drills themselves date back to the cavalry tactics used by Prussian armies in the 1700s under Frederick the Great. “You really gain a sense of history when you’re sitting on the horse and carrying your lance and hearing ‘O Canada’ playing, you feel that patriotism,” Cameron says. While black horses were initially selected to show off the red of the officers’ uniforms, Cameron says, “The horses are the stars, we’ve just along for the ride.” Admission is by donation, with the money raised going to the Canadian Cancer Society. The show coincides with North Vancouver’s 25th anniversary of Block Watch service.

CapU student heads to food summit Anne Watson awatson@nsnews.com

CAMPUS food and sustainable practices is on the table for discussion at this year’s National Student Food Summit in Toronto for one Capilano University student. The summit, which takes place from Aug. 16 to 18 at the University of Toronto, is meant to encourage students and youth from across Canada to take part in campus-related food issues. The event includes speakers with a variety of backgrounds as well as sessions on everything from strengthening the Canadian food movement to going green with food. Tiaré Jung, fourth year liberal studies student and Campus Food Systems Project co-ordinator at Capilano University, will be participating as one of the speakers this year for the ﬁrst time. “I’m excited for it. I think the summit is going to be a lot more focused this year because a lot of the delegates attending have now had a year of organizing food projects in their own campus to come back and share with people,” said Jung. “I think it will be good.” Meal Exchange, a charitable organization that works with post-secondary students to achieve sustainable food systems, is hosting the summit, and together with the Sierra Youth Coalition, also runs the Campus Food Systems Project. The project has nine pilot campuses across Canada, including Capilano University.

National conference in Toronto hopes to cultivate changes on campuses

Peter Kapler, executive director of Meal Exchange, said the summit has grown exponentially over the years. “The food summit is in its 10th year right now and in fact is our biggest ever,” he said. “We have 75 delegates from campuses all across Canada.” The theme for this year’s summit is Cultivating Change on Campus, something Jung has been doing for the past couple of years. She started by going to the UBC farm and community gardens, and literally getting her hands dirty. “That started to get me thinking about how there are so many things in the grocery store I have no idea where they came from,” she said. “I have no idea how it is that I have strawberries in January, or grapefruits, oranges. I became very conscious of not only where my food is coming from, but what the impact of that food was.” Jung said she had always been involved in her student union and that propelled her thinking forward. “It seemed like a pretty good ﬁt to start to look into our campus food system and where our food was coming from on campus,” she said. “If the university is a place for education and for students to start to become who

they want to be, shouldn’t that be a holistic experience that also includes their everyday decisions that may seem simple but are actually really important?” Kapler said it’s this type of thinking that makes the summit so important for students to exchange ideas about food sustainability. “The food summit is an opportunity for the youth leaders from all across the country to come together and share a unified vision for what food on campus should be and what the campus food systems should look like,” said Kapler. “Youth and students who are university aged are in a critical time in their lives, they’re basically in a very formative time.” Meal Exchange empowers youth to take an active role in improving their local food systems, said Kapler, especially when there is a perception that the food system is not functioning well. “This is an opportunity for all of those leaders to get together in one place, get to know each other, get inspired, listen to experts in their field and really learn from each other, take as much away as possible,” said Kapler. University teaches critical thinking, said Jung, and that makes it the perfect place to educate and apply sustainable practices, such as supporting the preservation of farmland in the Lower Mainland. “Capilano is where I spend a lot of my time and where my friends are and it’s where I often have to eat many meals of the day,” she said. “I want to be able to go into the dining hall and feel confident that there are options there for me.”

Gas station cameras nab B&E suspects

Jeremy Shepherd jshepherd@nsnews.com

A North Vancouver duo is facing multiple counts of breaking and entering as well as a fraud charge after allegedly going on a one-week crime spree.

Dion Lewis, 42, and Candace Thomas, 42, are accused of swiping electronics and credit cards from three North Vancouver homes between Aug. 1 and Aug. 8, according to a release from North Vancouver RCMP. Police picked up the suspects shortly after examining footage recorded by a gas station security camera that allegedly showed the pair buying gas with a stolen credit card. Police also executed a search warrant on the couple’s home. More charges may be forthcoming, said

North Vancouver RCMP spokesman Cpl Richard De Jong. “We’re trying to connect them with other (break and enter) offences as well. There was about 12 of them in that time frame,” De Jong said. Lewis is slated to remain in custody until Aug. 28. Meanwhile, North Vancouver RCMP nabbed an accused thief under similar circumstances earlier this year. Surrey resident Nicholas Mazzone, 42, allegedly stole $9,000 worth of goods from a parked car on West 15th Street only to ﬁnd police on his trail after using a stolen credit card at two nearby gas stations less than an hour later. Despite the balmy weather, homeowners still need to lock doors and windows. Letting neighbours know when the house will be empty can also be a good idea, according to De Jong. “The potential B and E artists are still out there looking for a victim,” De Jong said.

signiﬁcant injury to the suspect, the evidence is not capable of establishing that deploying the dog constituted an unreasonable and excessive use of force in this incident.” The case was reviewed by a prosecutor outside the Lower Mainland to avoid any suggestion the Crown may be in conﬂict of interest. Umbach had to be rushed to Lions Gate Hospital for emergency surgery following the arrest. Police originally charged him with fraud, impersonation, identity theft, resisting arrest and using forged documents with victims across the country. Umbach later pled guilty in North Vancouver provincial court to one count of

identity theft and received a one-year jail sentence followed by two years probation upon release. This is the first case the Independent Investigation Office had been called to investigate on the North Shore. Since then, the civilian-led body is looking into a July 6 incident in which a womanreceivedafacialinjurywhileWestVancouver police took her into custody at Horseshoe Bay and a July 14 arrest in North Vancouver that resulted in a suspect being hospitalized with a serious shoulder injury following his arrest. The province set up the Independent Investigations Office to investigate all police incidents that resulted in death or serious injury after years of criticism that police should not investigate themselves.

VIEWPOINT Published by North Shore News a division of LMP Publication Limited Partnership, 100-126 East 15th Street, North Vancouver, B.C. V7L 2P9. Doug Foot, publisher. Canadian publications mail sales product agreement No. 40010186.

Steep pitch

UTSIDE magazine is making waves in local news outlets and social media for proclaiming the Grouse Grind one of the “10 Most Dangerous Hikes” in the world. The magazine cites three deaths on the trail since 1999 and roughly 80 rescues calls per year. But is it really among the most dangerous in the world? We ﬁnd the assessment to be, quite frankly,bearscat.It’smakingamountain out of a . . . smaller mountain. Instead, we offer some other superlatives that are closer to the truth describing “God’s stairmaster”: ■ Most crowded by unprepared tourists who have been misled by their hotel concierge into how easy it is to climb? Oh my, yes. ■ Most populated with indignant locals, annoyed at all the tourists taking up space on their personal

ﬁtness facility? Certainly. ■ Most likely to induce profanity in ﬁrst-time climbers who, red-faced and winded, reach a sign informing them they’ve only reached the one-quarter mark of the trail? Yup. ■ Biggest pain in the ass for District of North Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services and B.C. Ambulance Service and North Shore Rescue members who are tasked with the climb every time someone in stilettos twists an ankle and has to be carried down? Likely. But thousands of people successfully reach the top of the Grind each day when the trail is open. The Grind is no picnic, for sure, but with water, a little preparation and a realistic idea about what lies ahead, the Grind probably isn’t even on the top 10 most dangerous hikes on the North Shore.

We shout across seas of misunderstanding

IF you read no further, the theme of what follows is: Why don’t we keep our noses out of other people’s cultures?

Yes, that sentence usually ends “business.” But “cultures” — an ambiguous term I usually avoid, preferring tradition, religion, or custom — are something else. And so we come to the Western world’s repulsive new cultural imperialism. The imperialism of old was geographic: Land, resources, control over lesser breeds without the law (note for the young: this is irony, 19thcentury Kiplingesque talk). Thus the British bestrode an empire on which the sun never set. The Spanish, Dutch, French, Portuguese, Germans, Italians battled for real estate; a rich chunk of Africa was the personal possession of the King of the Belgians. All right, you knew that. Boring. Few wax nostalgic over these empires. And their contemporary echo has rung worse than hollow: The American-led forays into

This Just In

Trevor Lautens the Middle East, attempts to control and democratize Iraq, wretched Afghanistan and elsewhere, have been multi-trillion-dollar disasters. Where is the “acceptable” government-in-waiting in Syria where U.S.-backed meddlers are currently mucking in? Nowhere. But more insidious — and even more high-handedly arrogant — is the bullying of those who don’t see things the way our so-called politically correct and enlightened believe they should. Stand back. Look at

ourselves. Drugs. Drink. Youth abused. Youth jobless. Youth suicidal. Food banks, criminally wasted food. Rampant obesity. Our lands and waters degraded. Sex and violence, ﬁlmdom’s brain-dead twins. Political corruption. Scandals among police, churches, schools. Personal, corporate, government debt on gigantic scale. That’s the short list. And we’re trying to impose our “culture” on other societies? Move on: The huge success of the women’s and homosexual movements in the last mere 40-odd years are so fresh in historical terms that the icing on the cake has barely cooled — even in the selfstyled progressive West, where many still remain stolidly unconverted. As recently as 1987 an authority quoted in The Oxford Companion to the Mind pronounced homosexuality a perversion “in the technical sense.” Yet the missionaries of the West’s new secular humanist religion, more narrow and more self-righteous than any priest you’re likely to bump into, are aggressively, in

fact boorishly, browbeating countries with ancient faiths and customs who, beyond a small Westernized fringe — the ones our media interview — want no part of our claimed enlightenment. Note well: The ArabIslamic societies have zero appeal to me. The utterly evil “honour killings” in some East Indian families much less so. Now ﬂip this: How do we in Canada feel when immigrants try to export Shariah law, or the patriarchal right to murder their disobedient daughters? Or even about certain Chinese attitudes toward animals, notably slicing off sharks’ ﬁns and throwing them back to die helplessly? Does that invasive shoe pinch on the other foot? How dare they. Well, how dare we. But the cause de jour is Russia’s laws hostile to homosexuality and the pompous posturing about Canada boycotting the 2014 Olympic Games. (Which would hurt Russia? No. Our athletes.) This cause has attained hysterical pitch, locally with CKNW especially

plumbing new depths of media exploitation and trendy titillation, Gord MacDonald for bad example hotly shilling for a stupid petition signed by stupid sheep for a woolly cause. Baaaa. Russia, land not only of Lenin, Stalin and the KGB but also of Tolstoy, Chekhov and Eisenstein, is, according to a Vancouver Sun list, one of 75 nations with prejudicial laws and customs concerning homosexuality. Get this as straight as your grandfather: So did Canada a bare four decades ago. In our colossal elitist gall, we in the busybody West demand that societies four millennia old jump instantly through the hoop of rights we’ve barely created ourselves. Repeat: Leave others to ﬁnd or keep their ways. Clean up our own act. Too much of it stinks.

••• Amazing. The greatest Canadian — probably any — broadcast news voice of the Second World War is still with us. And a West Vancouver treasure.

Peter Stursberg turns 100 on Aug. 30. That voice, a great, rich, booming instrument, ﬁlled and shook radios all over the country when Stursberg was a CBC correspondent in Europe. Years ago I was surprised to learn that Stursberg was living in the Rockridge area. I phoned, and when he answered I was transported back to early childhood and ﬁrst heard that dark, portentous voice on the Philco. I’ve urged the Jack Webster Awards committee to give him this year’s Webster, and also the Canadian Association of Journalists to recognize him, and — in case the corp somehow wasn’t aware of the 100th — the CBC to make an appropriate fuss. Johnny Michel, CBC’s managing director for B.C., assured me it had and it would. In the U.S., Stursberg would easily have been as famous as Edward R. Murrow. But this is Canada, you know.

More ridings in B.C. won’t help the NDP

AS if things weren’t bad enough for the NDP these days, it looks like the B.C. Liberals are about to be handed an even bigger advantage come the next election.

The province’s electoral map will soon be redrawn, and odds are the addition of new ridings will favour areas that are traditionally B.C. Liberal strongholds. The changes will mostly reflect the population shifts that have occurred since the last redistribution after the 2005 election. B.C.’s population has grown by more than a half million people since then, and most of the growth has taken place in areas such as the suburbs of Vancouver and the Okanagan. As a result, it appears several seats will be added to reflect the mushrooming population in places like Richmond, south Surrey, Langley and the Okanagan — all areas that can be considered fairly safe territory for the B.C. Liberals. The looming changes don’t look promising for the NDP. The party is in danger of becoming marginalized because its core areas of strength are not in areas of high population growth (other than New Westminster and north Surrey). The last election results confined the NDP to the city of Vancouver, a few of its suburbs, most of Vancouver Island, the Kootenays and the coast. It’s unlikely the commission will increase the number of seats in those areas. In fact, if the Island gets another seat it will likely be in the Comox Valley region, which has been held for years by the B.C. Liberals. Of course, the boundaries commission responsible for

redrawing the map may also consolidate some ridings that have far fewer people living in them and are not showing big increases in population. These are mostly located in the north and the Kootenays, and any consolidation would likely penalize the B.C. Liberals and the NDP in equal terms. The commission, of course, needs to be sensitive to the concerns of those who live in remote, rural regions and fear their representation in the legislature could become diluted as the more populous, urban areas get more and more ridings. This has always been a concern whenever B.C.’s electoral map is altered, and it is one reason why our number of MLAs keeps increasing and not decreasing. On paper, one can make the argument the tiny Stikine riding in the north, which has just 13,000 registered voters, should be rolled into a neighbouring riding. After all, Surrey-Cloverdale is home to more than four times that number of voters yet both get the same number of MLAs: one. In fact, it can be argued the two Peace River ridings could be combined (such a riding would have about 43,000 voters, roughly the

same as Victoria-Beacon Hill), or that the North Coast, Skeena and Stikine could be consolidated into a single seat (and have the same number of voters as New Westminster). But reducing the MLA representation in those regions would be met with a huge protest from the communities affected — notably Prince Rupert, Terrace, Fort St. John and Dawson Creek — and so it likely will not happen. Instead, it’s more likely we will continue to add seats into our already overcrowded legislative chamber, which has almost reached the limit in terms of how many desks can fit inside the thing. Those additional seats will likely be created primarily south of the Fraser River and in the retirement communities of the Okanagan — sources of electoral strength for the B.C. Liberals. It’s also important to note that our ethnic communities, particularly the South Asian communities, are centred in those areas of growth, particularly around the Fraser. To not add seats in those areas would unfairly dilute their political representation over time. It all adds up to be one more major headache for the NDP, a party that is at a perilous crossroads as it tries to redefine itself as something more palatable to the voters come election time. That effort may ultimately be doomed however, since the population is growing in areas that have long turned their backs on the party in favour of another one. And that’s where any new MLAs will be coming from, thus making it even more difficult for the NDP to win a majority election.

Stepdad, now 80, guilty of sex abuse Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

A West Vancouver man in his 80s has been convicted of sexually abusing his teenaged stepdaughter four decades ago. The man was found guilty by a B.C. Supreme Court justice of two sexual offences dating back to the 1970s following a trial earlier this summer. During the trial, the stepdaughter — now in her 50s — testified that her stepfather had sex with her several times, beginning when she was 12. The woman testified the first incident happened when she was home sick and was alone in the house with her stepfather, who came into her bedroom. The woman told the judge she was scared and in shock at the time. She testified that afterwards, her stepfather told her “Don’t say anything to your mom.” The woman testified about other incidents of sexual activity that followed, including one encounter in the basement of a church where he volunteered. The woman said there were 10 or 12 other occasions when she was a teen or young adult when her stepfather approached her for sex and she refused. She told the judge she did not tell anyone what had happened until much later in her

adult life, after her mother had died. As an adult, she continued to have a close relationship with her stepfather, until three years ago, when she confronted him about what happened, telling him his abuse had resulted in her inability to sustain relationships or have children of her own. The woman later went to police. Testifying in his own defence in the trial, the stepfather acknowledged having sex with his stepdaughter, but said it was consensual activity that happened when she was an adult. But Justice Gregory Fitch rejected that, saying he didn’t believe the stepfather. In his decision, the judge wrote he believed the woman had been sexually abused by her stepfather when she was a teen. He added the woman’s subsequent behaviour as an adult was a result of “her longharboured embarrassment and fear resulting from these incidents and the pathologically distorted entanglement she developed with the accused as a consequence of his decision to impose upon her in her teenage years an inappropriate sexual relationship.” Fitch found the man guilty of two counts, while acquitting him of one count, saying there was reasonable doubt about whether the girl was older or younger than 14 when the sexual abuse started. Under a court-ordered publication ban, the man cannot be named in order to protect the identity of his victim. A sentencing hearing will be held next month in B.C. Supreme Court.

IT was not a shared passion for music that brought bandmates Devon Lougheed and Luke Cyca together, but rather a mutual interest in honeybees.

Lougheed and Cyca ﬁrst met at an urban beekeeping seminar in Vancouver, both planning to pursue the hobby. But they set their apiarian ambitions aside once they started jamming together and discovered a musical chemistry based on dissonant harmonies, odd time signatures and catchy pop hooks. “He and I really gelled and simultaneously decided to make it more than just a weekend messaround project,” says Lougheed, 29. In 2009, with Lougheed on guitar and Cyca on drums, the pair formed a band, aptly named beekeeper, a nod to their serendipitous ﬁrst encounter. They released their debut album BE KEPT in 2010. In 2011 their duo became a trio

with the addition of bass player and opera singer Brandi Sidoryk, with whom they released a seveninch single Take Me Back (To The Place). The post-pop threesome produces a quirky brand of music with a hard-to-classify sound. “We find ourselves torn between two types of music that are pretty hard to bring together,” Lougheed explains. The first type is avant-garde, experimental, noisy, arty and somewhat inaccessible. “On the other side, we also just really like pop music, kind of Aqua’s Aquarium or Katy Perry. There’s just something about that slick, danceable music,” he says. “What we endeavour to do, if we’re successful I hope, is use the tools of pop and rock music to make something kind of past pop, a futuristic kind of pop.” Take, for example, “Bees,” the first track on the band’s most recent EP Shout at People. The song is at once frenetic, operatic and lyrically bizarre — and it’s all over in 40 seconds. If beekeeper’s recorded music seems unconventional, their live show is “a spectacle to behold,” Lougheed says. A former stand-up comedian, he is inspired by classic bandleaders like Louis Armstrong and draws on his improv background when onstage. It’s not unusual for him to go off on a comic tangent in the middle of a set.

“The real irony is I’m way funnier in beekeeper than I ever was as a stand-up,” he laughs. “Shows get participatory,” he adds, “often with crowd involvement, but never in a way that’s very alienating. People don’t feel forced to come along.” He describes beekeeper live as a children’s show for adults. “Kids will enjoy it, and hopefully their parents will allow themselves to feel like kids for 45 minutes.” In fact, after the band wraps up their next fulllength album, which is set for release in the new year, they plan to record their ﬁrst kids’ album. “The rules of writing for children are so much different than the rules of writing for adults,” Lougheed explains. “Kids like fast tempos and they like lots of stylistic changes and they like goofy nonsense words and sing-alongs. And that’s kind of what we write now anyways.” In 2012, beekeeper made it into the top 20 in the Peak Performance Project, an annual artist development program and battle-of-the-bands style competition hosted by 102.7 The Peak. Although they didn’t win the $102,700 grand prize, they did expand their social network and gain mainstream exposure.

Paranoia lacks pizzazz

■ Paranoia. Directed by Robert Luketic. Starring Liam Hemsworth, Amber Heard, Gary Oldman and Harrison Ford. Rating: 4 (out of 10)

Julie Crawford Contributing Writer At ﬁrst glance this is another ﬁlm about the Occupy Wall Street crowd going up against big corporate greed. In fact, Paranoia is more retro than that, telling the Working

Girl-type story of a boy with big dreams of making it across the Hudson River. Liam Hemsworth tells us as much in a voiceover introduction, lamenting that “the lights always look brighter across the river”. Alas Adam is stuck in the boroughs caring for his ill father (Richard Dreyfuss) and is refused entry to fancy clubs because he only owns hoodies. Adam is an entry-level programmer at a See Plodding page 19

FILM

Duo spent months working on colour

From page 14

“His desire was to make everything look real,” Chlebak says. “In a film where there’s a huge degree of visual effects, making something look real and keeping it honest is actually a tall order.” As important as colour grading can be in evoking a mood from the audience, the work is often crammed into the end of a hectic schedule. “Usually you get to the end and the visual effects are almost totally done, the cut’s definitely locked, and then you condense the colour-grading into the last three weeks or four weeks of the film schedule before it has to be mastered and released,” Chlebak explains. For Elysium, Chlebak and Blomkamp had a few months to find just the right hues to conjure up the wasteland of Earth and the opulence of the Elysium space station, which functions as an outer space enclave that would make Ayn Rand weep with joy. The duo worked in short bursts, taking frequent days off in order to return with a fresh perspective. “The colour grading is there to build on subtext or allow the audience to be more immersed in the story,” she explains. Working in shades and shadows, Chlebak tries to veer away from certain aesthetics, such as the “really orange skin tones” of Transformers. “That serves a purpose for a time but then it starts to become the style that gets overused and then it doesn’t have meaning anymore . . . As colourists we have to develop new ways of seeing the world and presenting the world,” she says. “It’s a constantly evolving process.” While some critics rolled their eyes at Elysium’s political elements, the action movie has already found a broad audience, taking in nearly $30 million in its opening weekend. “Working on a film like Elysium at this level is unique, especially in this particular town,” Chlebak notes. Much like Woody Allen once claimed New York and Peter Jackson operates in New Zealand, Blomkamp has established Vancouver as his base of operations. While many established directors might shoot a movie in Vancouver, Blomkamp is the rare director who sticks around afterwards, using the

city’s array of technicians to add texture to his film. “In District 9 he had a local cinematographer, a local editor, and a local digital effects company, and now with Elysium he added post-production colour grading,” Chlebak says. For the Winnipeg-born artist, working on a summer blockbuster was never something she anticipated. “I think I have a rare career trajectory,” Chlebak says. “I’m not saying I don’t have the talent and skill, but sometimes it is being at the right place at the right time and having the right people guide you.” Born into a family of bakers, Chlebak eschewed the smell of warm rolls for a career in photography. She was studying her craft at Emily Carr when she came across a student film that needed a little help. “I just got inspired to start making my pictures move,” she says. After graduating from Emily Carr in 2002, Chlebak worked with independent filmmakers and paid the bills by shooting portraits. “Just doing whatever I could get my hands on that was visual,” she says. Chlebak was trying to find a niche in the field of visual effects when a colleague noted her eye for colour. She kept busy transferring digital movies to film before snagging a job on Alien Trespass, an homage to 1950s science fiction directed by XFiles producer R.W. Goodwin. “I think the film ended up having a really unique look, simply because I came at it from, not years of experience, but years of looking at images in a slightly different way,” she says. “It was just kind of history from there.” She’s worked on movies ranging from the boxing documentary Facing Ali to the chaste romance of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. “I can often find something to believe in in the film and get behind it,” she says, adding that her job is a little easier if she likes the film. With the exception of a segment of the movie shot near Mexico City, nearly all of Elysium was made in B.C. “As a city as a whole we need to have a little bit of pride in the fact that we could do something like this, and hopefully do more.”

high-tech company. He and his fellow cubicledwellers pitch an idea to the head of the firm, the arrogant Mr. Wyatt (Gary Oldman, inexplicably borrowing Dick Van Dyke’s Mary Poppins accent). “It was our time to shine,” Adam tells us, but his cocksuredness manages to get them all fired instead. The group decides to stick it to the man by drinking P. Diddy’s vodka, racking up a five-figure bill on a corporate credit card which somehow wasn’t cancelled when Adam got the boot. He is called into the office the next day, where Wyatt proposes a way to avoid fraud and embezzlement charges. Apparently Wyatt sees something in his swindling former employee, some passion in Adam that we, the audience, cannot. He takes Adam to a guarded fortress where his assistant (Embeth Davidtz) and a tailor (of course) transform Adam from hipster to corporate executive in a single weekend. His mission? Infiltrate a rival tech company run by Wyatt’s nemesis Jock Goddard (Harrison Ford) and get the goods. “A good artist copies, a great artist steals,” explains Wyatt, quoting Picasso and Steve Jobs. Parting his hair differently and not wearing socks works wonders: Adam gets a killer corner office, a swanky apartment, and a legitimate second chance at a girl (Amber Heard) with whom he shared a one-night stand back when he wore those hoodies. This allows ample time to see Hemsworth shirtless.

THE CRUISE N

LATE SUMMER

COMMUTE SALE

Memories of Summer...

People seem to open up to Adam a little too easily. He starts stealing trade secrets but feels bad. He feels even worse when an FBI agent knocks on his door, showing him pictures of all the slain Wyatt protégés who preceded him. Adam wants out, but Wyatt’s henchman (Nip/Tuck’s Julian McMahon) keeps chasing him with guns, and ominously ﬂipping his lighter, so we know things are bad. There are plenty of spy-store gizmos to distract us from the notable lack of real tension, things like body scans, silicone thumbprints, retinal scans, military GPS and hidden cameras aplenty. If everyone is so paranoid, why then do characters test weapons-grade technology in the middle of a bar? Don’t they know they should get a booth? Director Robert Luketic, mainly a director of romantic fare such as The Ugly Truth and Legally Blonde, relies overmuch on slowmotion and micro-stuttering frame effects in order to inject pizzazz into the proceedings. But a script culled from Joseph Finder’s novel is too full of clichés to feel current (“there’s no right or wrong, just winning and losing,” “competition fuels innovation”) and actors look weary with the effort. Hemsworth looks the part but simply doesn’t have the heft to execute his leading role. His one-note style makes Adam seem like kind of a jerk, putting down his dad and lying to his girl, and any revelation he has seems disingenuous. There’s no character to root for, no heart, and all else feels like window dressing.

Kylee Epp a rising star on the country music scene

Nicholas M. Pescod Contributing Writer

“I knew that loved to sing and I knew that I loved music but I didn’t really understand how this was a career and how this worked.” From the moment Kylee Epp stepped into a professional recording studio for the ﬁrst time in the sixth grade she knew exactly what she wanted to do with her life. “It totally changed things for me and from then on I was more focused. I wanted to write music and record,” she says. Today Epp is performing at the Rockin’ River Music Fest in Mission. “I am just super excited,” Epp says. “It’s probably the biggest show I’ve ever

career began even earlier than Grade 6. She began singing at a young age and often perfromed at birthday parties

and also sang the national anthem at local baseball and hockey games. This past January Epp

released her ﬁrst record, an eponymous six-track EP. The Qualicum Beach native says she touches on a little bit of

everything on the recording. “It is fun and lighthearted. When I was writing the record I was aware of the fact that I would be going out and performing to support it. So I wanted to write songs that would translate well live,” she says. “It is a little snapshot into my life in that time.” Epp travelled back and forth to Nashville and worked with songwriters Steven LeeOlsen, Patricia Conroy and Tim Taylor. “I write what I know. I write from my own experiences. To me that is the most honest way to do it,” Epp says. “I have to be inspired when I’m writing.” Prior to embarking on a solo career, Epp spent eight years as Jessie Farrell’s backup vocalist and acoustic guitar player. “That was an incredible experience. I learned so much on tour with Jessie,” Epp says. “Being in her band I was sort of able to watch her career progress and see how it is done. I feel like that experience now that I’m out releasing my own records for the ﬁrst time and starting to play shows, is all so applicable because I watched her go See Epp page 23

MUSIC

Epp nominated for four BCCMA awards from playing opening slots to touring across Canada.” Epp along with Farrell opened up for a long list of established artists including Alan Jackson, Brooks and Dunn, Toby Keith and Sugarland. “Even just watching their shows and night after night you learn the tricks of the trade as far as performers,” Epp says. “I learned how to transition from song to song and what moment to savour and when to quickly move on to the next song.” “One of my favourite things about being a musician and performing live is all the travelling I’ve been able to do,” she says. Epp’s music career has taken her across Canada, Europe and South Asia including a 2008 concert for the King and Queen of Malaysia. While performing for the Malaysian royals no one in the audience is allowed to get out of their seats and dance, something that Epp wasn’t aware of until after the performance. “We started playing and we played three or four songs and nobody danced,” she says. “We were used to people reacting and getting up and moving. Finally we played a song and we noticed the Queen got up and started

dancing and then everybody got up and started dancing.” Last October Epp was nominated for four B.C. Country Music Association Awards and in December she received the Ray McAuley Horizon Award rising star trophy at the BCCMA Awards ceremonies. “To be acknowledged from the community that has been supporting is pretty incredible. It definitely takes a community of people to make this happen. I’ve been working at this for a long time.” In June, Epp released her newest single titled “You Will” and will be pushing it to radio later this month. “It is a song about looking back and realizing what you’ve lost,” she says. In addition to her passion for singing, Epp also has a love for surfing. As a teenager she used to compete in Roxy Quicksilver competitions in Tofino. “I spent a lot of time as a kid in Tofino,” Epp says. “It’s a great place where you can surf. I have many memories of going surfing all day and then coming in evening and playing on the acoustic guitar and sitting around the fire. That all is locked in time.” Kylee Epp hits the stage at 3:10 p.m. Friday afternoon as part of the Rockin’ River Music Fest.

IF our hats could talk, they might say a thousand different things depending where you come from.

An African shaman’s headdress sprouting feathers, linens and hanging bones might tell you the story of a wild, exuberant being trying to find wisdom through faith and nature alike. Bull-shaped horns made from gold, rising high and mighty could tell the story of a valkyrie, a Norse warriorgoddess whose strength and courage knew no bounds. Or what about the Mohawk? Would it tell a story of a proud First Nations member, or that of a punk rocker? What if we mixed these headdresses? What stories would they tell? That’s the idea behind Talking Heads: A Contemporary Look at Headdresses, the latest North Vancouver Community Arts Council exhibit. The show runs until Sept. 7 at CityScape Community Art Space, 335 Lonsdale Ave., and features a free headdress-making workshop on Saturday, Aug. 24 from 2 to 4 p.m. for people of all ages. The exhibit blends the old with the new, mixing cultures and in some cases blending them with doses of the modern world to create original, inspiring headdresses that tell tales of old and new. Fashion, it would seem, is a beast of the ages. “I wish that the culture, our culture, wore more hats and better hats, not just baseball caps and whatever,” said NVCAC exhibit co-ordinator Jo Dunlop. She describes the Talking Heads exhibit as unusual and different — high praise from someone whose business is finding and arranging original pieces of art. “Every piece is completely different from the other,” Dunlop said. “We had one artist actually inspired by nuns. So there’s three headpieces (that reflect) the monastic life. The novice, the nun, and the abbess.” That particular display wasn’t done on canvas or common linens, but was made entirely out of de-constructed book covers, vintage suspenders and a

Residents can make their own headdresses at a free workshop on Aug. 24. few buttons. Is there a hidden meaning there? That’s for the artist and the patron to decide. But ofﬁcially, mum’s the word. All together, this exhibit boasts the work of 14 different artists, ﬁve from the U.S., a few from around B.C. and the rest practising locally. One such artist is Anni Hunt, a West Vancouver resident who put together a piece entitled Shaman’s Shroud, inspired by ancient African wise men

and women who famously wore large and heavily decorative head pieces. “I got thinking if whether or not shamans had a headdress,” Hunt said. “Of course I knew they did, but I wondered if they had one that honoured them in their death. A headdress speciﬁcally for that.” With that thought she was off. In her research she discovered a shaman’s death shroud would commonly include linen and embalming ﬂuids to slow

down the decomposition process. Keeping in theme, she found African mud cloth, paper yarn and linens, porcupine quills, bones and feathers — items that would naturally disintegrate — and got working. “I got things as if it were his or her favourite things to use during ceremonial episodes,” Hunt said. “Then to simulate the embalming ﬂuid I dipped it all in wax.” Even the colours are natural and reﬂective of the history, utilizing black, white, red and earth tones. The whole process took her several weeks, but the product was well worth it, according to Hunt. “I had never done a headdress before,” she said. “So this was fun to do and a bit different.” Shaman’s Shroud can be found hanging from the ceiling in the exhibit, near fellow artist Anne Marie Andrishak’s work, Veiled. “Mine was really ‘Veiled’ on different levels,” Andrishak said. “I did a bridal veil, a veil used by Muslim women, and some veils in general.” But sweet and thoughtful ideas sometimes sprout from the dirtiest of places — and this time quite literally. “I worked out a plant from my garden, it’s actually a weed I pulled out of my garden last year and put it in my compost,” she said. “I found it a few weeks later and brought it back to my studio and kind of looked at it all year and it all kind of came together in my mind.” Andrishak describes her piece as lacy in some places, burnt in others, and utterly unique — which, to her, is much like the rest of the exhibit. “I like that it’s so diverse,” she said. “It’s very different. People have done very different interpretations of headdresses. I think it’s lots of fun.” Dunlop agreed. “I think it’s interesting headdresses were so important in so many different cultures and countries throughout history,” she said. “It’s sort of drawing from that and putting a contemporary take on it. Blending what the artist has with historical culture and creating something from that.” Andrishak and fellow artist Brigitte Rice will be leading the Aug. 24 workshop, teaching people of all ages how to make their own headdresses. Materials will be available, but interested people are encouraged to bring their own items. For more information call 604-9886844 or visit nvartscouncil.ca.

FORTY years ago this month, the movie posters asked audiences, “Where were you in ‘62?”

off of Worf’s forehead. And then there’s this, what I feel to be Kia’s best current product — her name is Rio and, thankfully, she has absolutely nothing to do with Duran Duran. Design The day Kia poached Audi designer Peter Schreyer was a sad day for the Volks at Volkswagen. Sure, the new Golf that’s coming soon looks pretty good, but park this little car beside a current-generation Jetta and it’s like seeing a tailored suit set down next to a pair of jogging pants and “Fahrfrumgrüven” T-shirt. The little Kia is sharply

For most people, the answer was, “in a better place.” The world in 1973 was not in great shape, and as far as cars go, was about to get a whole lot worse. The start of the gas crisis was not far away, and the motoring world would be plunged into a frenzy of fuel-saving measures that would result in the death of the muscle car and the production of some of the worst-performing machinery ever built. Many baby boomers were wondering just what had happened to all the youthful hope and innocence of the 1950s and 1960s. They bought their movie tickets and, as they sat quietly munching popcorn in the darkness, tried to remember exactly what those days gone by were like. Where were they in ‘62? They thought back. The scenes that unfolded before their eyes would be called, by Roger Ebert, one of the greatest pieces of historical ﬁction ever ﬁlmed. It was a slice of Americana, cruising around in hot rods, disc jockeys spinning early rock ‘n’ roll and crooners on the late-night AM radio. Burnouts and drag races, of chrome and drive-in diners; cheap gas and four wheels to

WHEN it was ﬁrst released in 2000 the Kia Rio’s best quality was that it was cheap. These days the Rio is still affordable but has become a stunningly stylish little car. It is available at North Shore Kia in North Vancouver.

AS a promotion, Kia should offer a shortrange time machine (say, 15 years) with every purchase. That way you could head back with your brandnew Rio and blow a few minds — that’s a Kia?

Plus you could prevent George Lucas from releasing The Phantom Menace and buy a few more stocks in Apple and PayPal. It’s win-win for everyone. Mind you, Kia dealerships might as well save the money on the development of time-travel and simply put an extra-large mirror in the

Brendan McAleer showroom so you can see just how good you look driving this thing. Amazing what counts as entry-level these days. The old Rio, released in 2000, was a rather

humourless potato of a car: styling by russet, pricetag by Yukon gold. It was cheap, and that was pretty much its sole redeeming feature, and since Canadians are a skinﬂint bunch, it sold rather well. If you think about it, the Rio wasn’t that dissimilar from the philosophy behind the Hyundai Pony, released in Canada some 30 years ago. Like kissing cousin Hyundai, Kia’s been on the move lately, coming out with stunning design after stunning design. The Optima sedan is like a Jaguar/Audi hybrid. The new Cadenza full-sizer, while apparently named after a chest-ofdrawers, makes the Genesis sedan look like it was based

freedom. It’s a film that almost didn’t get made. Little-known director George Lucas had the backing of his friend, producer Francis Ford Coppola, but the studios passed, one after another. Finally, Universal studios picked it up and filming started on Lucas’ semi-autobigraphical story of the South Californian hot rod culture of the ‘50s and ‘60s. Some of the mostly unknown actors — Richard Dreyfuss, Harrison Ford, Ron Howard — would go on to become household names. Others would remain supporting cast throughout their careers. The real stars, though, were the cars. The hero of the piece is one of the most famous machines ever to grace the silver screen, the bright-yellow ‘32 Ford five-window coupe driven by fictional street racing champion John Milner.

THE interior of the new Rio is well put together and features plenty of soft-touch plastics, giving the car the feel of a much more expensive offering.

Kia has looks to match much higher-priced Euro machinery From page 41

styled, with crisp creases down its flanks and an angular set of taillights. Both five-door (hatchback) and sedan are good-looking cars, the profile of the four-door car very much resembling what an Audi A2 sedan might look like. Standard cars wear perfectly acceptable 15-inch steel wheels with hubcaps where the EX and up carry at least 16-inch alloys. Top of the range SX models have huge 17-inch alloys that give the tiny car the look of some

Hot Wheels special. Everything gets a spoiler, mudguards and bodycoloured doorhandles and side-mirrors. The most basic Rio doesn’t at all look like a cost-cutting, economy-grade penalty box. Move up a level and the features start adding up faster than the price. Mid-range models get a sunroof and mirror-mounted signalling lights. SX models get luxury-car level trim like LED taillights and projector headlights. Don’t tell the neighbours what you paid, cover up the

Kia badge, and everyone will just assume that you’ve somehow snuck some Euroonly hatchback past the Canadian border guards. Environment Like the stylish exterior, the inside of the Rio is also a cut above its pricetag. The base model has a nice feel to the layout and the switchgear is again set out in Audi fashion. The old Rio’s wasteland of hard plastic shouldn’t really even be mentioned in the same breath as the new car. See Lack page 45

Lack of torque shows up on tough hills From page 43 The current Rio is very well screwed together and features plenty of soft-touch plastic everywhere your eyes come to rest. This being a compact car, rear seat room is decent but not great, and trunk space for the ﬁve-door is also not going to surprise with unexpected roominess — it’s ﬁne for the class though. The sedan doesn’t have any more cargohauling ability either, but these are both small cars and people needing more capacity should be checking out one of the Forte variants. Even so, Kia has done an exemplary job of cramming their smallest offering full of unexpected features. Let’s take a look at the SX trim as an example. At the top-end of the

Rio range, you get a backup camera, touchscreen navigation (Kia’s UVO system is excellent), leather heated seats, dual-zone climate control, and even a heated steering wheel. Sure, these are all optional extras, but so too are they when you head over to the BMW or Mercedes store. Performance All Rios, regardless of sporting trim, come with a gasoline direct-injection 1.6litre engine producing 138 h.p. and 123 foot-pounds of torque. That’s plenty of power for a car this small, though it’s worth noting that torque levels are not quite as strong as they might be — load the Rio up and tackle a hill and you’ll ﬁnd that just a little more grunt might See Reﬁned page 46

be needed. The rest of the time though, this little compact machine is a delight to drive. Yes, it’s not exactly a barnburner, and folks hoping the six-speed manual option will somehow transform the SX sport-tuned model into a budget Mini might not be impressed. The 1.6-litre engine is willing enough but doesn’t offer zany rev-happiness. Instead, it’s tuned for refinement, and is very smooth in its delivery of power. While your humble author is a die-hard threepedals-and-a-stick kinda guy, the six-speed automatic is probably the way to go. Other manufacturers offer wonky dual-clutch setups or just plain cheap out with a four or five speed auto, but the Kia’s six forward gears are very nicely paired to the direct-injection engine and again give the car a feeling of refinement unexpected in

this segment. Handling is marginally improved in the SX model, but it’s really more of a looks package than a corner-carver. All Rios can handle the curves without difﬁculty, and offer reasonable steering feedback while erring on the side of crowd-pleasing light effort. Of course, if you’ve gone for the SX model, some of that ride quality evaporates as the large wheels and stiff suspension give the car a jarring ride on rough pavement. Highway warriors would be better off sticking with an EX model. Here in the middle there’s another option to be pondered: the EX Eco model. This aptly named package groups together options like a more fuel-saving (and thus slower to respond) set of programs for the automatic transmission, smaller alloy wheels with low rolling resistance tires and even an

automatic start-stop system. How much fuel can you save? Kia projects official figures of 0.3 litres/100 kilometres better in-city but it’s extremely variable — the start-stop system might be worth it for someone with a traffic-light-infested commute, but will be somewhat useless if you’re coming in to work along the Trans Canada at off-peak hours every day. Features Calculating fuel economy for the little Kia is a bit more complicated than simply taking the Transport Canada figures (6.9 l/100 km city and 5.3 l/100 km highway for the six-speed manual) at face value. In fact, much to Kia’s chagrin, the efficiency numbers were recently found to be a trifle too optimistic, leading to a reimbursement program for owners. More realistically, the Rio should get mixed-use mileage equivalent to a slightly larger Honda Civic. That’s no bad thing as the Civic is already a gas-sipper, but in the compact class, it does place the Rio at a bit of a disadvantage. Of course, do the math on how much fuel-savings you’d actually be looking at by spending more to get something like a Ford Fiesta, and it’s pretty paltry stuff for the average Lower Mainland driver. Add in the Rio’s bang-for-buck factor and the Kia claws its way back into the must-drive category for subcompact shoppers. Aside from the already mentioned base LX, midrange EX, and SX top-trim models, the Rio range has other little pockets of value to be explored. Take the $17,150 LX+ model for instance. This comes packed with stuff: cruise control, fog lights, internal music storage, voice-activated radio, even heated front seats. Adding an automatic transmission to this package will set you back $1,100, and the Eco stop/start system a further $800 on top of that. Green light Excellent styling; smooth drivetrain; outstanding feature content in high-trim models; great bang-for-buck entry models. Stop sign Fuel economy of a compact; small-car cargo capacity; stiff ride on SX models. The checkered flag A slick, stylish little car — pocket-sized luxury. Competitor Hyundai Accent ($13,749) You don’t have to go far to find the Rio’s main competition. In fact, you

don’t even have to shop outside the company really — both Kia and Hyundai are separate entities but they share ownership. Both the Accent and the Rio have the same drivetrain and basic body structure. The Accent might not quite have the sharp styling and heavy feature load of its Korean brother, but it does

have a compelling pricing structure and a badge better recognized for value. That means better resale down the road. Add in the fact that the Accent is this year’s Automobile Journalists Association of Canada car of the year and one has to ask, what is the price of fashion? Certainly the Rio is the

prettier of the two, but the Accent is a compelling choice — hence its bestseller status. mcaleeronwheels@gmail.com

THE Hyundai Accent is the Rio’s cousin and also its closest competitor. The Accent was recently named the AJAC car of the year.
