Cruiser smashed in chase

[email protected]

NorthVancouver RCMPis investigating after abizarre incident that sawthe pursuit of one stolenvehicle derailed by acollision with a secondstolen vehicle.

The asco playedout around 10:30 a.m.Wednesday when policereceived a dispatch reportinga pickup truck beingstolen from a Deep Coveconstruction site.

An ofcer on patrolspotted the vehicle onMount Seymour Parkwayand attempted to pull it overon the Fern Street overpass.

Taking the ofcer by sur-prise, a second pickup truckbehind the cruiser veered

into the next lane, trying toget around the police cruiser.Instead, it collided with thepolice vehicles front end.The driver, a 43-year-oldCoquitlam man, bailed outand, after a short foot chaseand tackle, is now in policecustody.

The suspect in the rstvehicle used the distractionto escape and head southback toward Burnaby and isstill at large, De Jong said.

Police later learnedthe second truck was alsoreported stolen, though theyare not releasing where it wasstolen from or when.

Investigators are nowworking to determinewhether the two suspectswere working in tandem.

We have driver No. 2 incustody.Hes not saying alot. Hes under court orderfor different offences. Hesbeing charged with other

offences.Were trying to getdown to what are two stolenpickup trucks doing at thesame intersection in NorthVancouver?De Jong said.

The crash resulted intrafc tie-ups while ofcersremained on the scene toinvestigate.

Police are asking thepublic to be on the lookoutfor a 2006 grey ChevroletSilverado with B.C. plates:HL-1140.

As another stretchof warm weatherapproaches,WestVancouver residents willnally be able to cooloff in the water afterseveral popular beacheswere declared safe forswimming onThursday.

Vancouver Coast Healthlifted a warning advisingbeach goers to stay out ofthe water after test resultsshowed E. coli bacteria

levels at Ambleside,Dundarave and Sandy Covebeaches are back withinacceptable levels.

Municipal crews wereoutThursday taking downsigns at those three beachesthat had warned swimmersof potential health risks.

Coliform counts at thethree beaches ranged from151 to 180 in the latesttest results bringingthem back below 200,considered the highest levelacceptable for swimming.Water at Eagle Harbour and

Whytecliff Park have highercoliform counts, however,and are still consideredunsafe for swimming.

The opening of WestVancouvers beaches comesjust in time for the weekend,when temperatures inthe Lower Mainland areexpected to shoot up againunder sunny skies.

Uncharacteristicallyhigh E. coli levels in Julyand August have resultedin beach closures in areasofWestVancouver notnormally affected by the

problem.Making mattersworse, the closures have alsocoincided with the hottestweather of the summer.

Ofcials still dont knowwhat caused the spike in E.coli levels.

Jeff McDonald, spokes-man for the municipality,said the news the no-swim-ming advisories have beenlifted is certainly welcomeforWestVan residents.When you spend time onthe beaches its pretty natu-ral to want to spend time inthe water, he said.

Off the railsTheTransportation Safety Boardsnal report into the oil trainderailment that killed 47 peoplein Lac-Mgantic last summer conrmedthat the tragedy wasnt simply a case ofbad luck but also a terrible result of ahands-off approach to rail safety by thegovernment.The damning report and

recommendations released this weekhighlighted the dangers and all-too-realconsequences of the fox-guarding-the-hen-house approach to deregulationfavoured by theTories.Transportation Minister Lisa Raitt

preferred to blame the company directlyinvolved in the disaster and deect anyofcial responsibility. But the reportmade it clear that the accident also owedmuch to a lax safety culture that wasreinforced by lack of proper oversight bygovernment authorities.

In particular,Transport Canada failedto ensure that repeated safety violationsand concerns identied by inspectorswere actually addressed. It also failed toensure theoretical safety practices wereactually in place on the ground.To be sure, since the disaster last

summer there have been improvements,including Ottawas decision to phaseout the DOT-111 tanker cars prone torupturing in crashes. But many otherissues remain outstanding. And giventhe meteoric rise in the amount of oilbeing shipped by rail car the potentialfor danger will only grow unlessrecommendations are heeded.Rail companies cannot be left

to regulate themselves.That is theresponsibility of government, whose jobit is to look out for public safety.To doless is to turn our backs on future Lac-Mgantics still waiting to happen.

Argyle rebuild not tied to land salesDear Editor:

Suggesting thatfunding for the NorthVancouver school districtscritical Argyle secondaryseismic/rebuild project iscontingent on the NVSDselling off school propertiesis tantamount to suggestingthe provincial governmentis using blackmail to tiethe hands of locally electedschool boards to get whatit wants.

The truth is the Ministryof Education has simplyasked the NorthVancouverBoard of Education for aplan for the repayment ofthe $9-$15 million upgradecosts of moving from aseismic project to a fullrebuild of Argyle.Whichthe board has done.

Nowhere in that planare there deadlines for thesale of school properties

or specic sale amountsrequired.The schooldistrict only had to showthat it had a plan and theability to repay the extrafull rebuild costs.

Our school district,with what can only bedescribed as a triple-Acredit rating, has earnedthe right to secure adequate(and already promised)funding for our agingpublic education schoolinfrastructure and ourrecord has shown that wewill continue to honour ourlimited debt exposure if,and when, needed.

By focusing solely onthe timing of land sales it isassumed that there is onlyone way to fund schoolreplacement projects whichis to sell school propertyfor market housing. Havewe lost our collective ability

to nd the money for theseimportant projects otherthan simply disposing ofvaluable community assets?

With a growingpopulation and a changein demographics, ourcommunity needs continueto grow, yet determiningthese needs has provendifcult within the silosin which local leaders areelected.

These public lands arebeing sold based solelyon the school districtsconclusion that the landsand facilities are deemedsurplus for the publiceducation sector alone. Itis my view that a multi-sectoral inventory ofcommunity needs mustbe undertaken beforewe sell public lands thatwe will never be able toafford to buy back. In

fact, when the Board ofEducation, and otherlocally elected ofcialsmet earlier this year withthe Minister of EducationPeter Fassbender, the mostpertinent question he askedthe board was, what areyour community needs?

Good question, yetdecisions to sell schoollands are being madewithout this criticalinformation.

The Ministry ofEducation is quite explicitand sets out by ministerialorder specic requirementsboards must meet. Itstates that the board mustconduct broad consultationwith local government,community organizationsand the general publicregarding alternative

Dear Editor:After reading the

letters published aboutconstruction woes onthe North Shore I feltcompelled to add my own.

I too live on astreet under constantconstruction.The trucktrafc can be relentlessand the garbage, noiseand trafc congestion isexhausting.

Every day on the NorthShore storm drains arepolluted, neighbouringproperties are put at riskfor ooding and/or loss oflandscaping.

Parking, trafc andnoise bylaws are notfollowed and there arenot enough personnel toenforce them. At times

this puts people at risk,both those who work onand those who live aroundthese construction sites.

New construction isa sign of the times andshould be considered anormal part of our ever-growing neighbourhoods,but it should be a safe andconsiderate process.

The system isoverwhelmed with farmore construction than thebuilding codes, bylaw andenvironmental ofcers canmanage.

What are the Districtsof North andWestVancouver and the City ofNorthVancouver doing toalleviate these issues?Sandra DuyvewaardtNorthVancouver

One of B.C.s grandestand most historictraditions is up andrunning again, but itsnot entirely clear howlong it can keep going.

Im talking aboutthe Pacic NationalExhibition, a 17-daywhirlwind of entertainmentthat combines midwayrides, livestock exhibitions,concerts, exhibits of allshapes and sizes and waytoo much food.

But as time goes on, theannual fair faces mountingpressures.

It is essentially athrowback to earlier times,when it was the only bigevent in town. It began asan agriculture fair, locatedon the distant outskirtsof the young town ofVancouver (its east sidelocation was fairly remotewhen it began in 1910).

Over the years, itevolved into a majorentertainment destinationand a signicant culturalevent that celebrated theidea of British Columbiaitself. For years, schoolchildren in the LowerMainland got a major

prize with their nal schoolreport card of the year: afree ticket to the PNE (thisyear, kids under 13 get infree).

And so, for decades,the PNE was a big deal.Visiting the fair was atradition for thousands offamilies, who would arriveearly in the day and leavelate at night, exhaustedfrom seeing and tryingeverything, from ridingthe midway to watchingthe Demolition Derby,the Festival of Forestry,livestock shows and, ofcourse, eating in the FoodBuilding.

The famous Challenger

Map of B.C. was locatedthere for years, as wasthe B.C. Sports Hall ofFame.This is where theBoat Show, Auto Showand Home Show got theirstarts.

The entertainmentwas legendary, and hugestars appeared: ElvisPresley, Frank Sinatra, BobDylan, Johnny Cash, NeilYoung and, of course,TheBeatles.

But, over the years, thePNE found itself lookinga bit aged, a corny pieceof the past that seemedovertaken by newer, fasterand more varied formsof entertainment. It hadbecome a period piece andits nostalgic charm wasntenough to make it thedominant event of the yearanymore.

Still, the fair hassurvived, and this yearhundreds of thousands ofpeople will walk throughits gates, a testament toits endurance and thewidespread public supportfor it.

However, recent yearshave seen the emergence ofall kinds of neighbouring

community-based festivalsand celebrations, and theypose direct competition tothe PNE.

While theres nothingwrong with communityfestivals, the fact that anumber of them are seededwith municipal fundingsets them apart from thePNE, which does notreceive a subsidy fromB.C. taxpayers.

And this raises thelegitimate question ofwhether the PNE shouldqualify for a nancialsubsidy from the City ofVancouver (which is theowner of the PNE) or the

B.C. government, if thatswhat it takes to ensure thatit survives down the road.

The PNEs nancialsituation can beprecarious: too much rainduring the 17-day run ofthe fair can spell disaster,as happened several yearsago.

If the PNE fair wereto one day disappear, itwould be a major hit tothe economy of MetroVancouver.The PNE isthe largest employer ofyouth in all of B.C., andmany young workers whowork the fair make enoughmoney in a short period to

pay for a big chunk of theirpost-secondary education(I was once one of thosekids, having worked 10consecutive fairs sometime ago).

The PNE itselfestimates it contributesabout $140 million tothe economy every year.That includes about $25million in taxes and $50million in wages. As well,about 25,000 people fromoutside MetroVancouvervisit the fair, and stay anaverage of three nights inhotels and motels.

Time goes on, and still no tax break for PNE

No. Its important thatwe protect from unusualhappenings.

No, when they get intoany kind of accident its alwaysblamed on the person drivingthe car.

They dont need insurancefor riding a bike as it is.Wearing a helmet is the leastthey can do.

Im torn.Yes, becausepeople should have theirindividual choices. No, whenthey get hurt society at largepays.

Offwith their helmets! Thatsbeen the cry frompunditswho believe B.C.s mandatorylid laws hamper interestin cycling andmay clip thespokes of Vancouvers long,long-awaited bike shareprogram. Bike helmets seemlike a sensible way to protectcyclists frommotoristswho treat bike lanes andcrosswalks like disputed turfin a gangwar. Still, manymajor cities axed helmetregulations for adults.

No, as a cyclist I feel muchmore secure with a helmet.Weshould be teaching childrento be careful and wear theirhelmets.

Thats a lot of economicactivity, and it cannot beallowed to disappear.

To be clear, the PNEboard is not asking fornancial help from anylevel of government, atleast not yet. But itsimportant to note the PNEfair is the only major fairin North America thatdoesnt receive a generoustaxpayer-funded subsidy.

The organizationreports a modest nancialsurplus every year, butattendance at the fair hasdeclined three straight

years (from 962,000 in2010 to 712,000 last year).Of course, attendancegures can be looked atin a glass half-full way:attracting more than700,000 customers is stilla sign of impressive publicsupport.

So visit the fair.Try towin a house or a car. Ridethe roller coaster. Dontlet B.C.s greatest annualcelebration disappear anytime soon.

Reunification reviewneeds volunteers

[email protected]

Howmany North Shoreresidents does it take toerase the border betweenthe City and District ofNorthVancouver?

Possibly nine.The District of North

Van is hunting for anonet of volunteers withbackgrounds in nance,taxation, planning andpolitics to form the NorthShore Reunication ReviewCommittee.

The group will have 39days to nish a report thatmay put amalgamationon the ballot as areferendum question duringNovembers municipalelection pending furtherdebate in District of

NorthVancouver councilchambers.

The committee may geta little help from City ofNorthVancouver Coun.Guy Heywood and Districtof NorthVan Coun. RobinHicks, both of whomsupport amalgamation.

The two councillors areexamining the nances ofthe two NorthVancouversin an effort to uncoverredundancies that couldbe exploited to lighten thetaxpayers load in a uniedNorthVancouver.

We are running twolocal governments in onecommunity, Heywoodsaid.

The duos work hasbeen made challenging bythe disparate accountingsystems used by the two

municipalities, whichmake it tough to compareline items, according toHeywood.

Despite some reluctancefrom the city government,Heywood said he madea successful freedom ofinformation request to ndcity salaries by position anddepartment.

The early ndings re-enforced his opinion onamalgamation.

Including the salariesof two assistants, theofce of the citys ChiefAdministrative Ofcerhas a budget of $500,000,according to Heywood.

At the very top levelyou get the biggest benet

because youd need onlyone CAO, he said.

Front-line workerswont be part of Hicks andHeywoods report.

Its only in the backofce and managementlevels that you haveduplication, Heywood said.

In terms of facilities,Heywood said their reportmay look at phasing outdistrict municipal hall andzoning it for residential use,if they can nd extra ofcespace at 14th Street andLonsdale Avenue.

Heywood and Hicksare planning to pass theirwork to the reunicationcommittee in mid-September.

The review committee isa way for residents to wrestcontrol of amalgamationaway from elected ofcials,according to district Coun.Doug MacKay-Dunn.

It is time for us to takeit away from the politiciansand the bureaucrats andput it in the hands of thepeople,MacKay-Dunnsaid at a July councilmeeting.

The committee is slatedto include at least twomembers from each NorthShore municipality, despitedisinterest from the City ofNorthVancouver andWestVancouver.

WestVancouveriteshave no appetite for

amalgamation, according toMayor Michael Smith.

The City of NorthVancouver recently scuttledamalgamation talks amidconcerns the district isntpaying their share of theNorthVancouver policingbill.

The committee has a$20,000 budget drawn fromDistrict of NorthVancouvercouncil contingency fundto pay for expenses, butvolunteers will not be paid.

Streetscapes capture changing times

Main + Hastings:Photographs by Rossden Otter, until Sept. 6at SeymourArt Gallery,4360 Gallant Ave., NorthVancouver.More info atseymourartgallery.com.

[email protected]

If you want to get your carrepaired, try on weddinggowns and enjoy a wafebrunch, all withoutwalking more than afewmetres, then lookno further than the 2600block of East HastingsStreet.

Or perhaps youd like toenroll your child in balletlessons, purchase a vintageWurlitzer jukebox, thencatch a live band play atan X-rated movie theatreturned nightclub.The 2300block of Main Street is yourone stop shop for all of this.

These two city blocksare among those featuredin Ross den Otters latestphotography exhibit,Main + Hastings, whichdocuments the eclectic mixof businesses and residentialproperties along two ofVancouvers oldest corridors.Sixteen of den Otterspanoramic streetscapes areon display until Sept. 13at Seymour Art Gallery inNorthVancouver.

Den Otter has workednear the corner of Hastingsand Richards streets for25 years and came up withthe concept for his currentexhibit while chatting witha friend outside HarbourCentre.

It was just interestingreecting on how theneighbourhood had changedin those 25 years and Ithought I probably shouldrecord the buildings that arechanging, he says.

We have an image when

we say Main and Hastingsof a particularly nastyintersection, so its moreabout showing what runsalong both Main Street andHastings Street.They havethe greatest sort of contrastof use along the lengths ofthem.

Gallery visitors wont seeany shots of the notoriousCarnegie Centre corner,but they will see plenty ofother images that rangefrom the 900 block ofWest Hastings all the wayout towards Burnaby, andfrom the northern tip ofMain Street down to about38th Avenue.These twothoroughfares are hometo many older buildingswhich seem to have themost eclectic banding ofuses when compared withnewer developments, denOtter says.The use of thesebuildings has also changedover time, he noticed. Forexample, South Main Street,once known as Antique

Row, is now home to ablend of antique stores plusclothing boutiques, coffeeshops and restaurants.

A Port Alberni native,den Otter has lived stepsaway from either Hastingsor Main street since hemoved toVancouver in 1989to study photography at

Langara College.Its a couple of streets

that I have a fondness for,says the Strathcona resident,who teaches photographyand runs a commercialphoto studio with his wifein addition to his personalartistic pursuits.

For hisMain + Hastings

series, rather than takinglong horizontal photos, denOtter instead shot severalportrait-oriented slices of

each block and overlappedthe edges to assemble apanorama.This techniqueallowed him to overcomehis cameras technicallimitations, and also meanthe could exclude passingcars and pedestrians givingthe images an almosttimeless quality.

The photos dontnecessarily reveal a period,he explains.

The changing face ofthe Downtown Eastsideis a topic surrounded bycontroversy, but den Ottersays his exhibit is notmeant as social or politicalcommentary. In fact,thats part of the reasonhes exhibiting his work atSeymour Art Gallery.

I think that theadvantage of showing (thephotos) in Deep Cove wasto provide a venue that wasoutside of the context of theimages. It sort of removedsome of the perhaps politicalnature of the changes thatare going on there. I didntreally want the show tobe about that, I wantedit to be more about theinterrelationship betweenthe mix of uses of buildingsand I didnt want it to beabout gentrication, hesays. It just makes peoplefocus on the content of thephotos a little more I think.

Evolution of the Emoticon

MaziarMehrabi:Evolution of the Emoticonat LynnValleyMainLibrary,Aug. 27-Oct. 21.

[email protected]

More than 70 years afterhis face rst crackedinto a rictus of dark gleeas Batmansmockingadversary,The Joker hasslithered into the world ofhigh art.

Maziar Mehrabi is the

artist responsible for bringingone of the most frighteningfaces to ever adorn a comicbook panel into the LynnValley librarys gallery.

The exhibition, titledEvolution of the Emoticon,features 31 faces of thevillains who threaten todoomGothamCity and theheroes who keep nding away to save it.

Each face is drawn to

resemble an emoticon those frowny, smiley facesthat infuriate grandparentsand dominate the vocabularyof the text message.

The emoticons are acreature of the present butthe roots of the exhibition goback more than 20 years intoMehrabis childhood.

Cartoons came on in theafternoon in Kuwait.

Growing up attendinga British private school,Mehrabi got his rstartistic inspiration from theanimated images that stoodfor justice or competed tobecome Pokemonmastersin the hours after school andbefore dinner.

To me that was art,Mehrabi says. I never took itseriously, I just did it for fun.

The notion of pursuingart for his livelihood was alientoMehrabi as far-fetchedas the notionThe Jokermight one day kill Robin.

But without shoulderingthe expectations that afictthe ambitious, he was freeto draw what interested himwith nary a second thought.

He sketched, he scribbled,he lovingly reproducedthe illustrations thataccompanied Playstationvideo games.

It starts from there,Mehrabi says with a laugh.

Still, art wasnt a viable

career for Mehrabi untilChristmas day, 2001 theday he arrived in NorthVancouver.

He applied to Emily Carr,and as good fortune had it,was rejected, which forcedhim to enroll at CapilanoUniversity.

I know the programdoesnt exist anymore. Its ashame because its by far thebest, he says.

Working with instructorslikeToni Latour and satiricalsculptor George Rammellhelped him hone his craft.

He also found a world ofcomic book stores.

Where I lived, theresliterally one place, he saysof his life in Kuwait. And itwasnt like here where youhave everything.

He was thumbingthrough back issues one daywhile waiting on a friendwhen he stumbled on theHumanTorch, issue #3.

I didnt know you coulddraw comics like that, hesays, his eyes widening as hedescribes the ashy, graftiinuenced cover art.

He delved deeper intosuperhero comics, admiringAlex Ross ability to weaverealism into theMarvelUniverse and smiling atthe playful exaggerationof Spider-Man illustratorHumberto Ramos.

Not everyone sharedMehrabis appreciation forcomics.

After transferring to EmilyCarr at least one instructortold him to stay away fromsuperhero books.

He was really against mecreating art the way I did,Mehrabi recalls.

Undeterred,Mehrabisketched faces on the busand snapped photographsto help him visualizechallenging angles.

If a characters hand isin the foreground,Mehrabisoon realized it should loomenormous to create depth,like Jack Kirbys renderingof Galactus reaching off thepage.

When it came to creatingthe emoticons for hisexhibition,Mehrabi usedAdobe Illustrator to get cleanlines.

He begins with a squareand adds the eyes,mouthand hair.He goes over eachfeature, adding small detailsand playing with shading tomake the face seem three-dimensional.

With square jaws and boldcolours, the heroes were fairlyeasy.The villains were morechallenging, and in the caseof the JokerMehrabi realizedhis rst pass was too tame.

He has that smile . . .you know hes smiling, buthes not smiling because itsfunny, he says.

He broadened the mouthuntil the Jokers grin wasalmost too big for his face,later picking a font that gavethe background a rough,corrupt look.

His renderings of villainslike Scarecrow andTwo-Face were a bit too dark forthe gallerys taste, accordingtoMehrabi, but he saidhe insisted on includingBatmans oldest enemy.

The Joker, to me, had tobe in the show.You cant haveBatman withoutThe Joker.

The show runs fromAug.27 to Oct. 11.

Dancing aroundTheFWord The FWord. Directedby Michael Dowse.Starring Daniel Radcliffeand Zoe Kazan.Rating: 5 (out of 10)

JULIE CRAWFORDContributingWriter

Frankly Im rootingfor Daniel Radcliffe tosomeday shed his HarryPotter cloak and planthis foot rmly in adultroles. But his character inThe FWord is so cloying,so gratingly ingratiating,that I wanted to blast himback to Hogwarts.

The most likablecharacter in MichaelDowses lm is the city ofToronto, playing itself, as abustling, 24/7, multiculturalcity of surprisingly romance. In this metropoleare Chantry (Zoe Kazan),an animator, and Englishex-patWallace (Radcliffe),who isnt much of anything.He enjoys staring at the CNTower from the rooftop ofhis sisters house, where hesleeps in the attic bedroom.

They meet cute at aparty given byWallacescollege roommate Allan(Adam Driver) and dosome pseudo-insightfulfridge-magnet poetry.Wallace has spent morethan a year mourning hisex; Chantry is really clearabout the fact that she has aserious boyfriend. Like, livetogether, ve years serious.

The two shakehands and decide to befriends, like a business

transaction, notesWallace,who spends the next fewmonths trying to gureout how to shake theF-word and get Chantryinto his attic bedroom.They eat at diners, theygo dress shopping, andwhen Chantrys boyfriendBen (Rafe Spall) gets apromotion accompanied bya six-month stint in Dublin,

they drink away their sharedloneliness.

And they talk.They talka lot. For some reason a lotof the talk is poop-centric.They lob verbal jabs at eachother and bond over CoolWhip slogans. But theyonly occasionally talk aboutstuff that matters, becauseyou never see BruceWillis sharing his feelings,

according toWallace. Onething is certain: BruceWillisnever cried this much.

Its clear that they totallyget each other, thoughChantry refuses to admitit. Love is dirty, baby.Sometimes its downrightlthy, says Allans girlfriendNicole (VancouversMackenzie Davis), whoadvocates laying all those

pent-up feelings on the line.She and Allan are the wacky(and horny) extroverts toChantry andWallaces moretentative brand of courtship.

Untimely love is not anew conceit and nothingparticularly original isbrought to the table here.Maybe its a generational

Some FunTonight!The Backstage Story ofHow the Beatles RockedAmerica:The HistoricTours of 1964-1966 byChuck Gunderson. Formore information visitsomefuntonight.com.

[email protected]

It was 50 years ago todaythatThe Beatles performedat Empire Stadium inVancouver as part of theirrst North American tour.

Prior to their summergigs the band had visitedthe U.S. East Coast inFebruary to perform onthe Ed Sullivan Show anddo a couple of concerts inWashington, D.C. and NewYork City but that was justa taste of what was to comelater in the year.

The ambitious itinerary,put together by theirmanager Brian Epstein,involved John, Paul, Georgeand Ringo travelling 35,000kilometres to perform 34shows in 33 days in 24cities. It was one long non-stop blur accentuated bythe fact that Epstein knewalmost nothing about NorthAmerican geography.

The band began thetour at the Cow Palace inSan Francisco on Aug. 19,1964 less than 48 hoursafter a gig at Blackpoolin the U.K. In betweenthose two shows they spentalmost 24 hours in the airincluding a fuelling stopinWinnipeg. Once theydlanded the boys and theirentourage travelled for

the rest of the tour on a90-seater Lockheed Electraturboprop charter own byAmerican Flyer Airlines ina most non-linear fashionfrom coast to coast to coast.

Not big fans of yingto begin withThe Beatleswere living in an era whenairplane technology was stillin its conceptual infancy things could go wrongand often did. On the 65tour the same plane blewan engine whileThe Beatleswere enroute to Portland.In April, 1966, the AFAcharter crashed whilecarrying military personnelkilling 83 people.

Even with the best ofplanning there was morethan a little shake, rattle androll involved in getting fromPoint A to Point B.The daybefore their show at EmpireStadiumThe Beatles hadpartied long into the nighthelping Jackie DeShannoncelebrate her 23rd birthdayin Seattle. DeShannon ontour as one of the openingacts, told an interviewerthat she danced until 5 a.m.partying with the Beatles

and the rest of the bandson tour in Georges suiteat the Edgewater Hotel.Later that day everybodygot on the plane for a shorthop toVancouver madelonger by the fact thatthe pilot had not clearedcustoms correctly and hadto return to SeaTac tocomplete paperwork.Theytouched down inVancouversometime around 6 p.m.

Because of theirmassive popularity andunruly fansThe Beatlestour plane usually landedat secondary airportsavoiding the expected hugecrowds but also confusingtransportation plans onthe ground. In morethan one city arrangedtransportation was waiting

at the wrong location andsometimes people (Ringo,The Righteous Brothers)were forgotten in the hasteto get moving. InVancouvertheir plane landed at theRCAF base on Sea Islandin Richmond before theirscheduled concert buthours after their plannedarrival.They drove aroundaimlessly killing time, gotsome burgers and shakesand headed for the PNE atthe allotted time.

The show began at 8:15p.m. with the Bill BlackCombo, the Exciters,The Righteous Brothersand Jackie DeShannonall performing beforeTheBeatles nally took thestage at 9:25 p.m.

Chuck Gunderson,author of Some FunTonight,a new book that looks backatThe Beatles record-breaking run, talked to theNorth Shore News aboutwhat has been described asthe rst rocknroll tour.

North Shore News: PaulMcCartney just closedCandlestick Park.Chuck Gunderson: Yes hedid. I really wanted to go tothat show. I saw him in SaltLake the week prior and Itell you for a guy 72 yearsold he really knows how toput on a great show.

North Shore News: SanFrancisco really bookendedThe Beatles experiencein North America.Theystarted there in 64 and hadtheir last show there in 66.

Chuck Gunderson: Andthey were there in 65 aswell at the Cow Palace. Itwas kind of the beginning,the middle and the end.

North Shore News:Howdid you get involved withwriting about the tours?Chuck Gunderson:Number one, Im a hugefan. Number two, Im aproduct of the sixties andmy older siblings werespinning the records so itssort of embedded in me.Number three, Ive beena collector for many yearsand one of the things Ilike to collect is the NorthAmerican tour ephemera.Ive been waiting forsomeone to write a tourbook and no one ever didso I thought you know whatIm going to do it. Ive hada career in advertising andmy passion is history. I havea masters in history so Ijust thought Im going touse those skills and writeit, research it and publishit myself. Its the book Ialways wanted to see comeout.

North Shore News:Perfect time. Its the 50thanniversary of the rst tour.Chuck Gunderson:(This week) is the ofcialanniversary of the tourstarting with the CowPalace in San Francisco. onAug. 19.

North Shore News: I wasjust reading a chronology ofThe Beatles that year and

wow what a whirlwind.Chuck Gunderson:Whats interesting aboutthat is they did 34 shows,24 cities, 26 venues in 33days.

North Shore News:Whatwas involved in researchingyour book?Chuck Gunderson:Its about eight years ofresearch. I always tellpeople that ifThe Beatlestoured in the social mediaage we would have hadeverything, photos galore,we would have a lot moreinformation.

When I was researchingthe book I really had todig in a lot of archives inuniversities, libraries andnewspapers. I would bereally excited when anarchivist would tell meWeve located photosfrom theVancouver showor whatever and theydbring the folder back tothe phone and say, OhIm sorry theres a notethe photos were stolen orthey were lost in 1974. Oneof the goals for the bookis I wanted to have lots ofphotos for every stop theymade during the three yearsand I accomplished it whichwas a huge task. Most ofthe photos in the book arepreviously unpublished. Iwent through a lot of thephotographers that shotthem originally and a lot ofthem had passed away sotheyre not around. I went

romantic-comedy thing:Billy Crystal and MegRyan certainly did a lot oftalking inWhen Harry MetSally, but somehow thatwas less irritating. Sure, ittook them over a decadeto get together but at leastdecisions were made in theinterim; poorWallace hasno such gumption.That,and at least Crystal couldgrow a decent beard.

Its not the supportingperformances that are theproblem: Spall as Ben isgame enough to be pushedout of a window and takejalapeno juice in the eyebefore hes shipped out ofthe picture; Driver ownsthe weird things said byhis character.

Procedure helps vanquish fatLO

NorthVanclinic is rstprovider inthe [email protected]

A NorthVancouverclinic is offering a newtreatment to help peopleliterally burn off theirstubborn belly fat.

RSVP Beauty Clinicsnew machine,Vanquish,the rst in B.C., usesradiofrequency to heatup fat cells until they die,a natural process calledapoptosis.

Dr. GiselleVillar,owner of RSVP andacting department head ofobstetric anesthesia at BCWomens Hospital, says thenew technology reducesfat by killing the cellspermanently.

It was created speciallyfor abdominal fat, forpeople who want to loseabout one to four inchesof abdominal fat, saysVillar. Its not for peoplewho are morbidly obese orpeople who have fat thatsdistributed all over thebody.

Vanquish works byselectively heating fatcells, or adipose tissue, tobetween approximately44 C and 45 C, while thesurrounding areas remaina few degrees cooler.The machine does notcome into direct contactwith the body. Instead,the machines half-moonshaped arm hovers over theskin, covering an area ofapproximately 10 inches,or about 25 centimetres.

Treatments last for 30minutes, are spread about aweek apart and come witha hefty price tag of $2,500for four treatments.Villarsays four to six treatmentsare ideal.

The technology is basedon conductivity, or howmuch heat accumulateswithin the cell, and thetype of cell tissue.

The skin and themuscle, they conduct 10to 20 times more than thefat cells, so the heat is notgoing to accumulate in theskin or in the muscle, saysVillar. If you touch thepatients skin, its going to

be about 100, 101 degrees(approximately 37.9 Cto 38 C) but the fat cellswill go up to 120 degrees(approximately 49 C)and that heat is going toburn the cell, its going todestroy the cell.

The side effects areminimal but can includeskin redness and a warmsensation at the treatmentsite.

Patients with priorhealth conditions,including heart diseaseand diabetes, can use themachine, butVillar sayspeople with pacemakers orany other metal in the body

cannot, though some typesof orthopedic replacementsmight be OK.

Its non-invasive,theres no down time, itscompletely painless, shesays. The only feeling thatthe patient feels is a warmfeeling, like a warm blanketor a heating pad.

According to the MayoClinics website, so-called belly fat is madeup of two types of fat,subcutaneous and visceral.Subcutaneous is morecosmetic, while visceral,an inter-abdominal fat thatsurrounds the organs, canbe dangerous.

Dr. Ali Zentner, aspecialist in internalmedicine and obesity, saysthese types of treatmentsare truly estheticprocedures.

Any kind ofsubcutaneous fat removaldoes not offer metabolicbenets of actual weightloss, says Zentner. Sophysically removing fatfrom the body, whetherits by a plastic surgery ora liposuction or a laser,doesnt offer the metabolicbenets of actual weightloss.

MUSIC

through every archive anddepository I thought wouldhave photos from the tours.I left no stone unturned soto speak.

North Shore News: A lotof the lm footage you cansee onYouTube looks likeSecondWorldWar coverage,Path newsreels and stufffrom another era.Chuck Gunderson:Exactly.

North Shore News:DidThe Beatles know what toexpect from that rst tour ofNorth America?They werebig in the U.K. Ed Sullivangave them a taste but stillit must have been quite ashock in August 64 whenthey landed in California.Chuck Gunderson:Youhave to remember whenthey were playing concertsin the U.K. they wereplaying to an average of2,500 to 3,500 fans.Thelargest number was 8,000people at the Empire PoolinWembley.

They started this worldtour before they came toAmerica and they wentdown to Australia and theyplayed to 12,000 peoplewhich at that time was thebiggest but when they cameto America it busted open.The rst show at the CowPalace had 17,000 people.Whats interesting, in thetour planning beforeTheBeatles even got here, BrianEpstein was offered someincredible venues in size one of them FenwayPark 30,000 people,TigerStadium 50,000 people. Hewas even offered the L.A.Coliseum 80,000 people Brian doesnt get a lot ofcredit for this but he couldhave gone for broke andtried to milk as much moneyout of the tour as possiblebut he did it a differentway.What he did was reallysmart he booked averagesize venues, sports arenas,outdoor amphitheatres.What he wanted to do wassell out the tour obviouslybut he also wanted the fanshungering for more whenthey came back in 65.Theaverage size venue on the64 tour was 17,000 people.

North Shore News:The64 North American tourhas been described as therst rocknroll tour. Elvishad already played stadiums what was the differencein 64?.Chuck Gunderson: Elvis

played stadiums, he playedthe Cotton Bowl andthings like that. I think thedifference in 64 was themodern-day rock touringindustry was inventedduringThe Beatles tour.

No one had ever donea tour of that scale andplaying venues of that sizenight after night. BrianEpstein kind of inventedthings as they went along.Of course he had help froma NewYork talent agencycalled General ArtistsCorporation that helpedhim book the tour.Thetour riders back then werearchaic compared to now.Rock stars today want this,they want that, they wantthis kind of water. All TheBeatles wanted back in1964 were four army cots,a couple of cases of coldCoca-Cola, some cleantowels and that was about it.

North Shore News:Airplanes and airportsplay a big part in visualdocumentation of the tour.Chuck Gunderson: FromLondon back to London inthe 33 days they travelledover 22,000 miles.Whenbooking the tour I thinkBrian Epstein thought theUnited States was the sizeof the U.K. It was a reallyhaphazard journey theytook.Thy started out west,went up north, then downsouth, back up north, acrossthe country. It was reallystrange when you look at

the overall tour.They put ina lot of miles on that tour.

North Shore News:Epstein seems to have beenin total control of what wasgoing on. He even agreed toadd a show in Kansas Cityon an off day near the endof the tour.Chuck Gunderson:Theyreally relished their daysoff because they didnthave a lot of days off. Abusinessman in KansasCity, Charlie O. Finley, justdidnt want to give up. Hemet Brian Epstein at thevery start of the tour in SanFrancisco and he offeredthem $60,000, which wasabout twice what they gotat the Hollywood Bowl. Itwas a great offer but Epsteinsaid Im sorry Mr. Finleybut the tour is booked. Hemet him again in L.A. andoffered him $100,000 andBrian said, No Im sorrythe tours booked. Finleysaid OK, Im going tomake you one more offerand he wrote out a checkfor $150,000 which wasve times over the amountthat they were getting.Thebig stars of the day, suchas Frank Sinatra and JudyGarland were getting about10 to 15,000 dollars a night,so whenThe Beatles cameEpstein had heard aboutthese guarantees and hetold the NewYork talentagency When you go bookmy boys I want you to askfor double.That was pretty

ballsy at that time.Theywere getting guarantees of$25,000, $30,000, $40,000so when Finley came in at$150,000 they just couldntsay no. It was the largestguarantee in entertainmenthistory up to that point.Break down over a 30-minute show thats close to$5,000 a minute.

North Shore News:Onthe 64 tour the setlist didntvary much. John wouldopen with Twist and Shoutand Paul would close withLongTall Sally.Chuck Gunderson:Thatsright.They would do thesame 12 songs every night.In a couple of cities theyadded a song or two inLasVegas they added TillThereWasYou. CharlieFinley actually asked themif they could extend the setconsidering he was payingthem $150,000 and in trueJohn Lennon fashion helooked up at him and saidChuck Im sorry we onlydo 12.

North Shore News: InVancouver their time wasvery brief.Apparentlythey came in and drovearound before the showand afterwards they headedstraight off to Los Angeles.Chuck Gunderson:Vancouver was known asa drop-in date but actuallyin the beginning they hadactually scheduled to staythere.They were going to

stay at the Hotel Georgia.Peter Hudson, generalmanager of the HotelGeorgia, had seen the chaosall over the world whereTheBeatles stayed and he literallyspent weeks fortifying hishotel. He put plywood upat certain entrances, barbedwire on re escape ladders.He wanted to be preparedwhenThe Beatles came.They had to cancel theirreservation and the reasonfor that was they had toplay Seattle the night beforeand when they left SeaTacto come up toVancouverhalf way into the ight thecustoms ofcials radioed theairplane and said, Listenyou didnt get the customsforms lled out properly.Youre going into anothercountry so you better turnaround we need to get thesecustom forms done.Theyhad to go back to Seattleand do the customs workand then y toVancouver sothey are running late already.They land inVancouver,they get in the cars to travelto Empire Stadium andthey were hungry so theystopped at Kings Drive-Inand they got hamburgersand milkshakes for the road.When they nally got toEmpire Stadium the presshad been waiting and theywere kind of put off.TheBeatles had been late sothey got there, did the pressconference and then theydid the concert in front of20,000 fans.They caught a

plane that night and headedback to L.A.North Shore News:The other acts on the billincluded Jackie DeShannon.Chuck Gunderson:Theyhad the same support actsfor each stop on the 64tour.They would open upwith the Bill Black Combo.Bill Black wasnt actuallyon the tour he was sick atthe time and he had to bereplaced. Bill Black used tobe Elvis bass player.Theystayed on stage and theywere the instrumental partof the next support acts.The next ones to come outwereThe Exciters, they hada big hit called Tell Himback then, after that wereThe Righteous Brothersand then Jackie DeShannoncame on. It was about atwo hour show and whenThe Beatles came on theyplayed 30 minutes and itwas over.Another interestingthing aboutVancouver isEmpire Stadium was therst outdoor showTheBeatles had ever played inNorth America and it was astadium. It wasnt as big asShea Stadium but it was stilla stadium.

North Shore News: Itmust have been one longblur for the band wasthere anything that stoodout from the chaos?Chuck Gunderson:Wellnumber one they madeover one million dollarsin advances which wasincredible for that time.Thetour was record-breaking, itwas precedent-setting andit was money-making.TheBeatles broke new groundon the 64 tour.

North Shore News:The65 tour they went evenbigger.Chuck Gunderson:Because of the demandfor tickets Brian Epsteindecided to book biggervenues and if they cameto an arena they would dotwo shows.They woulddo an afternoon show andan evening show whichrocknroll artists do not dotoday.They did half as manyshows as they did in 64but made as much or moremoney.

Red Robinson, the originalMC ofThe Beatles show atEmpire Stadium in 1964,hosts the 50th anniversary oftheir appearance at the PNEtonight with Beatles tributeband Revolver performingat 7:30 and 9 p.m.For moreinformation visit pne.ca.
