Greenpeace activistsoccupied Kinder MorgansWestridge oil terminal inBurrard Inlet for morethan 12 hoursWednesday,hoping to upstage eventsin Ottawa.

Sixteen Greenpeacemembers snuck in justbefore sunriseWednesdaymorning to chainthemselves to gates and oilinfrastructure and to unfurlbanners calling for an endto Alberta oilsands andpipeline development.

The timing ofWednesdays protest,some of which was stagedfrom Cates Park in NorthVancouver, was meantnot so much to disrupt oilexports from the facility none were scheduled forthat part of the week butrather to send a messageto Prime Minister Harperduring the 2013 Speechfrom theThrone in OttawaWednesday afternoon.

Whether werephysically stoppingoperations or just sendinga message out, we hopethat its strong enough toturn the prime minister ina different direction andstrengthen the resolve ofPremier (Christy) Clarkwho has started to waver onher stance of defending thecoast, said Mike Hudema,climate and energycampaigner for GreenpeaceCanada.

Activists came preparedto stay in chains overnight

and were willing to facearrest, if needed, Hudemasaid, but by 7:30 p.m.,activists opened theirpadlocks and went home.

Once the throne speechwas read and we felt wedelivered that message, wewere happy to voluntarilycome down and end theprotest, Hudema said.

Off the streets and into the kitchen

Finding a job andmakingendsmeet is hard enough,even when you dont haveto struggle withmental orphysical disability, poverty,addiction or homelessness.

Thats where HAVECulinaryTraining Societycomes in.After eight weeksof customized kitchentraining, students emergewith some serious help to getover those barriers and a footin the door to a career in thehospitality industry.

The non-prot programrecently expanded fromthe Downtown Eastside tothe Lookout EmergencyAid Societys North Shoreshelter and graduated its rstfour students, all of whomare now working in NorthShore restaurants.

They head out and in86 per cent of the cases insix years, theyve got a job,said IanTostenson, who co-founded HAVE with fellow

North Shore resident BradMills.

That impressive statholds up over time as well,Tostenson notes. Of the

more than 600 studentswhove graduated, about 77per cent are still working inrestaurants, andTostensonsaid, and they often

become valued as the bestemployees in their business,because they have so muchinvested in their own success.

It costs about $3,500 to

put a student through theeight-week program, whichis mostly covered by federalgrants, though there is a nearinstant return on investment,

Tostenson said. Theyvegone from social assistance,which is just over $7,000a year to earning $20,000a year and actually payingtaxes, he said.

Tostenson attributesHAVEs success to the waythey greet and interact withtheir very marginalizedstudents. The magic is thatHAVE is built around totalindividual respect.Whenpeople come in through ourdoors, the rst thing theyget is support and respectas a person. In many cases,those are things that thosepeople have not felt foryears.Theyve been basicallywritten off and shunned,he said.

The Lookout Society,which runs the North ShoreShelter, approached HAVEand asked if theyd considerexpanding onto the NorthShore. Getting into theHAVE program is as simpleas walking through door andsaying I want to work here,Tostenson said. From there,applicants are screened,mainly for how serious theyare about completing theprogram.

All three North Shoremayors recently sat down forlunch at the shelters kitchento welcome HAVE to NorthVancouver.

the protestors had beenarrested though the RCMPstill have that option,Hudema noted.

Kinder Morgan isapplying to the NationalEnergy Board to twin itsTransMountain pipelinefrom central Alberta to theBurnaby terminal, whichwould almost triple thecapacity of the pipeline to atotal of 890,000 barrels ofoil and bitumen per day.

Tanker trafc in BurrardInlet from the facility wouldgo from about ve permonth now to more than30.

Thats something wedenitely dont want tosee, Hudema said, Whatwe know is that were in aclimate-constrained worldand were already seeingsuperstorms, were seeingintense oods, were seeingmore and more extremeweather events takingplace all the time becauseof climate change, andwe need to reduce ourdependence on fossil fuelsand reduce our greenhousegas emissions immediately

in order for us to continuethriving on this planet.

Asked to respond toGreenpeaces argument thatKinder Morgan is fuellingclimate change, KinderMorgan Andrew Galarnykspoke about the process.

We have a project thatwere looking to expand: ourpipeline for the customerswho have determined thereis a market need for it. Justas other pipeline projectsthat are being put forward,we are approaching ourproject with an open andtransparent approach tosharing factual informationand well le an applicationat the end of this year andlet the board determinewhether or not our projectis approved for expansion,he said.

Any pipeline expansionwork that happenswill make human andenvironmental safety a toppriority, Galarnyk added.

Greenpeace last staged aprocess on the North Shorein May 2012, when activistsrappelled from the edgeof the Lions Gate Bridgeto unfurl an anti-pipelinebanner.

Glass reef protection sought

[email protected]

A group of internationalscientists andconservationists travelleddeep below the oceanssurface offWestVancouverandHowe Sound thisweek, exploring someextraordinary glass spongereefs.

The glass sponge reefsare made by creatures thatdate back to the Jurassic eraand are so rare in the worldthat, until recently, they werethought to be extinct.

When scientistsconrmed the existence ofthe reefs deep in B.C. waters,it was like discovering aherd of dinosaurs, saidSabine Jessen, oceansdirector with the CanadianParks andWildernessSociety, who lives in NorthVancouver.

This week, the

conservation grouppartnered with the NorthVancouver submersible rmNuytco Research to leadan expedition to the reefs,found in about 75 metres ofwater near Passage Island.

From a mini submarine,they lmed the intricatetubular structures of thereefs, which are created bythe prehistoric sponges, and

vaguely resemble coral reefs.The glass sponge reefs, madeout of silica, are unique toB.C., said Jessen, becausethere are very few places inthe world that have so muchdissolved silica.

In some places, like thenorthern waters of HecateStrait where the reefs arefound as deep as 200 metres,the reefs can reach 14 metres

in height the height of ave-storey building, she said.

Jessen said the glasssponge reefs play animportant role in the marineecosystem, providing habitatand keeping the ocean cleanby feeding on bacteria.

But Jessen said the glasssponge reefs are also under

Destination: restaurantstourists, said David Bell, aretail planning consultant atColliers International. Heestimates that approximately75 per cent of the areasusage will be from NorthShore residents.

The space should beturned into a destinationwaterfront restaurantdistrict that mixes withinfrastructure such as theSpiritTrail, said Bell.

The ideas that havebeen put forward balancelocal interests, ll marketgaps and build on existingamenities such as LonsdaleQuay, said Bell.The waterwill be used as a centrepiece,and 24-hour activities willbe generated throughout theyear, he said.

Patio space is critical,said Bell. Restaurants arelooking for more and moreoutdoor seating throughoutthe year, covered andheated, and its an excellent

way of activating space.Based on preliminary

numbers, Bell said theproposed retail spaceis expected to generateapproximately $900,000 inrevenues for the city.

However, some areconcerned about theproposed hotel expansion onLot 5.

This property belongsto the people and shouldbe off-limits to privatedevelopers, said localresident Sandra Grant.

Another challenge thearea is facing is a limitednumber of parking spaces.The report recommendsthat part of Lot 5 could bedeveloped into undergroundparking.

Bell notes that asignicant portion of Lot 5could still be retained as anopen space, possibly a grassamphitheatre. We dontwant to create a concretejungle, he said.

Because of a lack of

regular vehicular trafc inthe area, the plan also notesthat future establishmentswill have to rely on word-of-mouth and regular eventprogramming to generate aregular customer base.

In response to Coun.Guy Heywoods concernsabout liquor licensingagreements, Bell admittedthat the report didnt vetthe restrictive clauses thatmight prevent some of theproposed food and beverageservices from movingforward.

We were looking at thisfrom a market perspective,he said, noting that citycouncil should considerany licensing issues whileevaluating the reportsrecommendations.

The report alsorecommends creating amanagement structuresimilar to GranvilleIslands, which would beresponsible for overseeingthe success of the area.

Colliers International willbe responsible for marketingand managing the retaillease opportunities in thearea after city council passesa development plan.

The city held a publicmeeting at the PinnacleHotel on Sept. 16 andoffered an online surveywhere residents couldexpress their ideas for thewaterfront. Both the publicsinput and the Colliers reportwill be used in the nalevaluation of a developmentplan.

No rush for Lot 5The plan unveiled by ColliersInternational last week forthe City of NorthVancouverswaterfront district is a common-senseapproach to creating a destinationexperience for shoppers andrestaurant-goers.Its now up to area residents and

council to help rene that plan.Colliers has gone to considerable

lengths to assess how a restaurant/retailarea might function to the east ofLonsdale Quay and whether or not sucha district would compete for customerswith existing North Shore businesses.The company has much experience in theeld and will act as the citys leasing agent much as Granville Island is operated.While it exciting to imagine this area

coming fully to life with repurposedheritage buildings after years ofconstruction, local residents may want to

consider just how a destination districtfunctions.Will customers drive there andwhere will they park?The discussion over the use of Lot

5 is likely to be the most interesting.This vacant site is suggested by Colliersto house a hotel expansion, a banquetfacility, a possible adjunct to CapilanoUniversity, a tness centre, bike rentals,entertainment such as a movie house,theatre and/or a comedy club, and, nally,a waterfront park with an outdoor rink.Each of these ideas has merit, but

its important to remember that Lot5 was to have been the site of a publicmuseum and the public feels the areashould function for them.Mayor DarrellMussatto is reecting that with his ideafor a giant Ferris wheel. In the end,leaving the Lot 5 options open as long aspossible may well be the best decision tomake right now.

CapU vision needs creative thoughtDear Editor:

I am disgusted aboutthe cuts to the arts atCapilano University and, inparticular, that this is viewedas a satisfactory solutionto inadequate governmentfunding.This, at a time

of growth in the arts onthe North Shore, e.g. theGordon Smith Gallery, theCentre for Art,Architectureand Design envisioned andapproved inWestVancouverand the new home forPresentation House Gallery

in NorthVancouver.Thisdecision to chop at the artsprograms seems to be anexpedited effort to balancea budget, and it seems therewas no creative considerationgiven to a new vision of theuniversity, to rebrand or

re-invent. How short sighted!Perhaps every student atCapilano University shouldbe required to take oneelective course in the arts.The community at largedeserves some creativethought applied to the

philosophical vision of thisuniversity.We need to ensurewe adequately serve ourfuture generations with morearts education, rather thanless.CaroleArnstonWestVancouver

Dear Editor:Despite your editorial

to the contrary (SufferNo More, Oct. 13), I amoverjoyed at the Carterappeal judgment that willprotect senior citizens andvulnerable adults from thetrauma of knowing thateuthanasia and assistedsuicide are sanctioned inlaw.

Senior citizens continueto contribute greatly

to society.They oftennancially assist theirchildren who are struggling,they provide child care forgrandchildren, are availablefor unexpected needs andbring the family togetherfor special celebrations.Grandchildren learncompassion and tendernessfor the elderly through thegrandparents they love.When the end of life comes,though the burden may be

great, the humanity of thechildren and grandchildrengrows in proportion to thedifculties and life takes onan unexpected sweetness.No one loses dignity buteveryone gains love.We arefar too quick to want to getrid of our contradictionsand sufferings, yet it is inthese that our character iscarved.Barbara StuartNorthVancouver

Suffering carves character

Dear Editor:I agree wholeheartedly

with your Oct. 13 editorialregarding assisted suicide.However, I think proponentsshould use more positiveterminology. I stronglyobject to the use of the wordsuicide. It is not a mentalhealth issue at all, but onewhich has been calmly andcarefully considered.

Right to die withdignitymay be a little longbut it is much more positive.

God forbid that thisshould ever happen to meor my loved ones, but if itdoes, I wish to have the legalright to have it dealt with in apositive, compassionate, andtimely manner.Nancy HunterNorthVancouver

Ever since she becameleader of the B.C. Liberalparty, Christy Clark hassought to distance herselffrom her predecessor,Gordon Campbell,whenever possible.

She may be doing it againwhen it comes to dealingwith climate change.

Campbell loved to boastthat B.C. was leading allof North America when itcame to ghting climatechange. He set ambitioustargets, enshrined in law, forreducing greenhouse gasemissions (33 per cent of2007 levels by 2020) andbrought in the carbon tax.

But soon after Campbellunveiled his ambitious plan,the world economy collapsedand a recession ensued.Suddenly, governments including B.C.s experienced plungingrevenues and massivedecits.

The reverberations fromthat economic disastercontinue to be felt.TheClark government, like manyothers, is still hungry forrevenues and less interestedin spending a lot of timetalking about things likecarbon credit schemes andgreenhouse gas emissions.

While her governmentinsists it is still committed toachieving the targets set outby Campbell, the centrepieceof its economic strategy ismassive industrial activitythat could greatly increaseGHG emissions.

The creation of liqueednatural gas plants in thenorthwest, for example,will greatly increase theamount of natural gasburned to create energy.That, combined with thegovernments decision tofreeze the carbon tax and topush for the establishmentof a bunch of new mineswill also likely make it moredifcult to reduce GHGemissions.

But its not hard to gureout why Clark is going thisroute.The recent provincialelection showed that theeconomy has becomethe number 1 issue withBritish Columbians. Clarkcampaigned successfullyas a champion of growingthe economy and creatingjobs. Environmental issuessuch as climate changehave been elbowed into thebackground.While they stillrank high in importance,they are not the issuesthat determine who forms

government in this province.While the NDP tears

itself apart on whetheror not it can support bigindustrial activities such asLNG plants, fracking andpipelines, Clark can furthermake economic issues herown and thus ensure sheand her party remain ingovernment.

Clark is fond of stressingthe need to nd ways to sayyes to big projects ratherthan simply rejecting themout of hand, as the NDPdid in the election campaignwhen it opposed the KinderMorgan pipeline.

So look for Clark tofashion policies that areindeed about saying yesto a number of projects. Iwouldnt be surprised if theB.C. Liberals somehow nda way to throw their supportbehind the Kinder Morganpipeline and perhaps,down the road, revisit theirdecision to not supportEnbridges NorthernGateway pipeline.

If Kinder Morgan andEnbridge can convincinglyshow they have addressedconcerns about oil spillsand clean-up, and that theyhave the support of moreFirst Nations than not (inother words, not necessarilyunanimous support), Isuspect Clark will nd iteasier to say yes to one orboth of the projects.

Of course, there arepotential pratfalls that mayawait the Clark government

as it pushes the economy asits bread and butter issue.Chief among them is if thoseliqueed natural gas plants

dont materialize. LNGMinister Rich Coleman sayshes reasonably condentthat three will be built,

but many analysts will besurprised if theres more

Its hard being green for Christy Clark

WestVancouvers ArgyleAvenue communitygardens could betransplanted once thedistricts landscapingplan for Millenium Parkto the Music Box iscompleted in the springof 2014.

Andrew Banks,WestVancouver parks manager,said there are plans to shiftthings around to offer moreprotection against storms.

What we are planningto do is move theinfrastructure, such asthe community gardens,further away from theocean and up to Argyle,said Banks. Whenwe consult with the

community, our permitholders, on this particulardesign, I think we will havea very nice product at theend that all of us will beproud of.

Banks said there areplans in the works formore community gardensand staff will be workingtowards that over the nextfew years.

But residents at lastweeks council meetingvoiced their concerns aboutthe fate of the currentgardens.

Ruth Mabutt, a Bellevue

Avenue resident, said shehas had a garden plot forthe past eight years andknows there is currently awaiting list.

We have a need forcontinual use for thegardens as well as a needfor more gardens for thepeople who are waiting,said Mabutt. I questionthat theres enoughspace in this design forthe community gardensbecause theres some largetrees that you cant putgardens underneath.

Coun. Nora Gambioli

was optimistic aboutprocess. I have totalcondence in the parksdepartment especially sinceJohn Lawson Park has beensuch a huge success in yourability to consult and makea plan, said Gambioli.

The project alsoincludes the demolition ofthe house at 1528 Argyle,which is set to come downthis fall.

The parks departmentis seeking input from thepublic, especially thosecurrently holding gardenplots.

Does cell tower radiation worry you?INQUIRINGREPORTER

Maureen CosgroveNorth Vancouver

It doesnt worry mebecause there are a lot ofother things to worry aboutin life.

Jared EwartSquamish

Based on low levels ofradiation, I wouldnt be tooworried.

Will WakelinNorth Vancouver

I think theres a lot moreimportant things to worryabout than can possibly becoming off of towers.

David WilliamsEast Vancouver

No, I just think its notpowerful enough.

Mark HongNorth Vancouver

Im not worried. Im fromSingapore, we have cellphonetowers and its never beenreported in local newspapers.

Cell towers are a hottopic when it comes topossible side effects onhealth. Three cell towerapplications by RogersCommunications havesent West Vancouveritesto city hall in protest. Butshould the public reallybe concerned? VancouverCoastal Health, alongwith Health Canada andscientic studies fromaround the world hasreassured the public thatany radiation from thetowers is not powerfulenough to have an impact.Have your say; take the pollat nsnews.com.

Revenue trumps emission targetsthan one in the end.

There is a lot of moneyriding on this all-in gambitby the Clark government.The governments ownanalysis suggests ve LNGplants could contribute

between $4 billion and $9billion a year to governmentcoffers. Even if theres only asingle plant, the return couldstill top more than $1 billiona year if the Asia marketfor LNG remains strong,which is by no means a surething 10 years from now.

When money like thisis dangling in front of theClark government, dontbe surprised if Campbellsemission targets are perhapschanged or delayed throughlegislation as we draw closerto 2020.The potentialnancial payoff from LNG

and other industries is toohuge for a government topass up, even if it meansturning its back on one ofthe former premiers mostcherished [email protected]

Ballet BCs Tilt: JohanIngersWalking Madplus two world premieresfrom Jorma Elo andEmily Molnar, QueenElizabethTheatre, Oct 18and 19, 8 p.m.

THE art of dance is alanguage spoken throughthe movement of body.

For Emily Molnar,artistic director of BalletBC, its a language shehas spoken all her life andcontinues in her latest work,16 plus a room.

The fact that dancerswithin 10 minutes of noteven speaking the samelanguage can be dancingtogether and smilingand they are not even

exchanging a languageverbally, is an extraordinarything that most peopledont have an encounterwith in their lives,says Molnar. Its veryexceptional what happensin dance, our entireinstrument our body,our mind, our soul iscalled to action when weperform, when we dance,when we are in the act ofdancing and I nd that oneof the most beautiful pathstowards self-discovery andself-understanding that onecan have.

The piece makes itsworld premiere in Tilt thisweekend at the QueenElizabethTheatre andincludes NorthVancouverdancer Scott Fowler.

Molnar says the piece isa kind of energetic reality

of feeling displaced, thingscollapsing, changing andtrying to begin, and thingsdisappearing.

Im very muchinterested in morephilosophical spaces whenI create a piece, so its veryatmospheric, she says.Its like if you put these 16individuals into a room andthe room starts to move,and it tips and it turns. Ikept saying its like theyrein a glass jar and thingskeep moving around.

Molnar says it capturesa spectacular momentin time, with neither abeginning nor an ending.

Its this kind of ideathat things dont stop allof a sudden, says Molnar.This is happening all thetime everywhere, art, so wejust have to sit down and

observe that.The piece is a very

textured landscape, shesays.

You step into a worldand that world is verykinetic and very dynamic,says Molnar. But its anexperience thats for sure.

Molnar providedseveral different art forms,including a collection ofEmily Dickinson poems,writings by Americaninstallation artist BillViolaand Art Objects by JeanetteWinterson, for the cast of16 dancers to draw from.

I really work with thedancers, says Molnar.Ill often bring in a lotof images, a lot of text,that we start building ourvocabulary, which meansour choreography, from.So we build kind of a

dictionary of words, analphabet per se.

The dancers were alsoable to draw from Molnarsown personal experience.

I just turned 40 thisyear and theres been a lotof discussion in my own selfabout aging and transition,Molnar says. I had thisfeeling in me, like a sadnessin my bones and I meanthat in the most liberatingway, not because I felt thatI was arthritic or somethingbut just more that timepasses and you start to feelthat history inside of yourbody, that notion that youknow you really realize youdont have a lot of timeand with that comes a hugeliberty and celebration ofwhat it means to be alive.

Manage StressNaturallyImprove Energy,Sleep Better,Reduce Cravings

Our ability to adapt to stress depends upon optimal function of the adrenalglands. When excess stress overloads our adrenal glands symptoms can include:fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression, low back pain, asthma, allergies, bloodsugar problems, hormonal imbalances, irritability, headaches, sugar cravings,gastrointestinal symptoms and inammatory conditions.

The roots of the original AdrenaSense FormulaThroughout my life I had good health and boundless energy and then suddenly in my early 30sI hit the wall with fatigue I had three children under the age of 3, my marriage broke up, and Iwent back to work thinking I could do it all. My body did not agree nothing helped the cripplingfatigue until I saw a naturopathic doctor who introduced me to my adrenal glands. When I startednaturopathic practice in the 1980s it was my own experience with adrenal fatigue that allowed me torecognize it in my patients and over the years I saw the need for an effectiveadrenal supplement.

AdrenaSense is the original solution I formulated for patients and others whohave found it very effective.

The Original AdrenaSense Formula:The herbs in the AdrenaSense formula are called adaptogens that have beenproven to support stress reactions and normalize adrenal function. These includeRhodiola, Suma, Schizandra Berries, Siberian Ginseng and Ashwagandha, whichin combination, enhance mental and physical performance; balance the nervoussystem helping with anxiety and insomnia; support the immune, cardiovascular andhormonal systems; counteract fatigue, anxiety and depression; as well as providevital energy.

Novel inspired bymedieval history

TheVancouverWriters Fest, Oct. 22-27 at Granville Island.writersfest.bc.ca.

[email protected]

Coming face to face withthe art adorning the wallsof Pope ClementVIsbedroom inAvignonsPalais des Papes, NorthVancouver writer MaryNovik knew she had herstory.

On one of her ve tripsto the southeastern FranceUNESCOWorld HeritageSite, referred to as theCity of Popes due to theirpresence in the 14th century,Novik had opted for thesecret palace tour andwas given an opportunity toexplore spaces not viewed bythe typical tourist.

I was in the popesbedroom and there are these

wonderful frescoes on thewalls and theyre very secularfrescoes, theyre not religiousat all, she says.

She began to wonderwhether vows of chastityhad indeed been kept inthose days. I write ction,but if youre writing abouta historical period you wantto be accurate about theimportant facts so I neededto be sure that this hadindeed happened, she says.

Novik started diggingand discovered that the popeand his peers at the time hadfaced harsh criticism frompeople, like poet FrancescoPetrarch, for things likelechery and greed, And soI had the basis for a plot,she says.

From there, her newlyreleased work of ctionMuse, a follow to her 2007debut Conceit, sprang tolife.

Deciding to make

Petrarch a character inthe work, Noviks furtherresearch suggested hehimself had had a mistressand that very little wasknown about her.

Then I began to think,Well what if she had beenthe poet Petrarchs museinstead of Laura who isalways called his muse? so then I had a characterand I had a conict and Ihad moral dilemmas. Beforethat, I just had an exoticsetting. But this gave me mystory, she says.

Muse follows the lifeof Solange Le Blanc, adaughter of a harlot who diesduring childbirth. Solangeis raised by Benedictines,educated as a scribe andbelieved to be a clairvoyant.The book depicts her escapeto Avignon where she comesto be at the centre of a lovetriangle with Petrarch, andlater becomes Pope ClementVIs mistress and condante.

Conceit, which wasnominated for the GillerPrize and won the EthelWilson Fiction Prize, also

North Vancouver writer Mary Novik has based her new novel,Muse, around the mysteriouswoman who inspired Petrarchs poetry in 14th-century Avignon. PHOTO SUPPLIED

Author Mary Novik willintroduce latest work,Muse,at theVancouverWriters Fest

BOOKS

focused on a writer of lovepoems, John Donne, andhis daughter, Pegge, in 17thcentury England.

Im absolutely fascinatedby these guys, says Novik,of her passion for literarygreats, both their works andpersonal lives.

That said, she doesntview Conceit as a traditionalhistorical novel.

I tend to say that mynovels are ction thatsset in the past, rather thanhistorical ction, per se, shesays.

With this book,Muse,it is more towards that, itsmore in that direction, sheadds.

She found her change ofapproach to have occurrednaturally, the result ofwriting about one woman inparticular.

When youre writingabout one woman thatwould just right away makeit more accessible and easierfor the reader right there.And since shes speaking inher own voice, youre notintrusive as an author, itsjust her telling her story, soit comes across as a moretraditional historical novel.The next book that I writewill probably be differentfrom both those books.

There is a relationshipbetween my books buttheyre not sequels, shesays.

Novik is gladMuse isnally out, giving her anopportunity to engage withreaders.

I like talking about my

work, she says. Especiallyafterwards, people willcome up and ask a coupleof questions, or theyll beinterested in a particularthing, or want to know howmuch research you did andthats really fun to just chatabout.

Novik will offer insightinto her new work and craftat the upcomingVancouverWriters Fest, being held Oct.22-27 at various venues onGranville Island.

Shes been featured atthe annual festival before,following the release of

Conceit, and has longattended, including with themembers (June Hutton andJen Sookfong Lee) of herwriting group SPiN.

Its a big week for us,says Novik.

They welcome theopportunity to catch up with

local writer friends as wellas meet and be exposed tointernational novelists.

Its just wonderful to beable to see all those writers,see what theyre doing,because the thing is theyre

MUSIC

Persian vocalist buildson classical tradition

[email protected]

A throaty female singingvoice cracks and quaversas it resonates from thebuilt-in laptop speakers.

This is tahrir, saysTahere Falahati as shereaches out to pause theiTunes track.The distinctvocal trill, heard often intraditional Persian songs,she explains, is produced byvibrating the larynx.

It is a vocalornamentation, like Swissyodelling.

Falahati skips ahead inthe song. Now the voiceis smooth and clear.Thesinger holds an impossiblylong note which starts softand builds in volume.

This is the dynamics ofthe voice.You make, like, acrescendo from a lower toneto a higher tone.

Falahati continues todescribe the complexitiesand subtleties of Persianclassical music.The genre,she explains, relies on axed repertoire of shortmelodic movements, calledgushe, and often drawsits lyrics from renownedmedieval poets such Rumi,Hafez or Saadi.

Theres an organicrelationship between poetryand music and this is thevocalists responsibility torecite those poems, saysFalahati.

The NorthVancouversinger has studied thetraditional music of herhome country for manyyears and released her rstalbum in August.AMomentWithYou was composed andconducted by kamanchehplayer Saeed Farajpooryand features an ensembleof Lower Mainlandinstrumentalists includingAli Razmi (setar), Ali Sajadi(barbat), Saina Khaledi(santour) and HaminHonari (tombak, daf).

Classical Persianmusicians rely onimprovisation andcomposition when pairingmelodic sequences with

poetic lyrics, Falahati says.And then you bring

them out, with your fashion,with your style and put yourcharacter in it.

On AMomentWithYou,all nine tracks are sung inFarsi. But Falahati insistslisteners neednt understandthe language to appreciatethe music.

You dont need to knowthe lyrics because its theability of the vocalist tobring up his or her emotionin their voice, she says.

When I listen to non-Farsi music, sometimes Idont know the lyrics, but

I use my imagination andI can make a connectionbetween myself and thevocalist.

Falahati moved toCanada fromTehran, Iranin 2001 seeking greaterartistic opportunities.Dance and certain types ofmusic have been banned inIran since the 1979 IslamicRevolution and there arerestrictions on femalesingers.

Female vocalists arenot permitted to haveany activities in my homecountry.We can sing in achoir and accompanying

other male singers ingroups, but the lone femalevoice is too provocative formen, Falahati says, adding,I think that the femalevoice in my home countryneeds to be hidden, justlike their head, from menbecause its too much of aturn on.

At the time of therevolution, Falahati wasjust ve years old. Shediscovered her voice at anearly age, but there wasnever any opportunity forher to perform at least,

Centre is both a privateuniversity institution and apublic performance space.How does everything playout?

Joyce Hinton: I alwaysthink of it as having threemajor roles: rstly, we havetwo resident companies(the UBC School of Musicand the UBC DepartmentofTheatre and Film)and those departmentshave classes, rehearsals,performances or screeningsin case of lms, in ourvenues.

We also try to engagewith the community andone of the ways we dothat is to rent our spaceto organizations such astheVancouver Symphony,

theVancouver RecitalSociety and Early MusicVancouver.We also haveUBC graduations going onat the Chan Centre as wellas 18 or 19 high schoolsthat have their grads there.

Its a very busy place interms of all the differentactivities.The third armof it is the Chan Centrepresentation series andthats where the KronosQuartet/Philip Glassconcert (ts in).Thisyear we are doing sevenmainstage concerts andwe also do other thingsin our smaller venues.With our series I wantedto complement what was

going on with world music,jazz, roots music and newmusic like Kronos Quartet.

North Shore News: How

did Kronos relationshipwith UBC develop?Theyve played thereseveral times.Joyce Hinton: Kronos

Quartet started comingto the Chan Centre anumber of years ago. DavidHarrington of Kronosabsolutely adores theconcert hall he thinksits one of the best hallshes ever performed inanywhere in the entireworld which is prettyhigh praise consideringwhere Kronos Quartet hasplayed.Theyve brokentradition and changed howpeople view string quartetswith their emphasis oncommissioning differentcomposers and workingwith all sorts of differentartists.They loveVancouveraudiences they ndthem very adventurous andinterested in what they aredoing.

Its been a reallygreat match with all theinteresting programmingtheyve been doing.Weworked with them to bringinTanyaTagaq theInuit throat singer. Ourlast event with them waswith Homayun Sakhi whois an artist supported bythe Ismaili Council andthe Aga Khan Foundation,so we had a wonderfulexperience with the IsmailiCouncil of B.C. and doingall kinds of extra eventswith them in support ofthis concert.

Kronos brings reallyinteresting opportunitiesfor us. For this concert Iwas approached by theirmanager to see if the ChanCentre would like to hostthe world premiere of aPhilip Glass piece thatwas being written for thequartet in honour of their40th anniversary.We werereally fortunate that PhilipGlass is able to come anddo a pre-concert talk forus.Were thrilled to behosting the world premiere.When it was broughtto me, I spoke with ourDean of Arts and said thisis just such a wonderfulopportunity and Im veryhappy he agreed, so wepartnered a commission bythe Chan Centre throughthe Faculty of Arts.

The Glass talk withEleanorWachtel will berecorded for CBCsWachtelon the Arts. Glass is moreand more interested incomposing rather thantouring.This is a reallyspecial occasion.
