Ambulance station fatemurkyParamedicsconcernedaboutWVJEREMYSHEPHERDjshepherd@nsnews.com

WestVancouvers oneambulance wontbe stationed in themunicipalitys new publicsafety building.

Where it will bestationed is both a mysteryand a source of concern forNorthVancouver paramedicCameron Eby.

Eby, a provincialexecutive for theAmbulance Paramedicsof B.C. union, said its amatter of time before thecurrent location adjacentto the re station on 16thStreet is shuttered.

Its an old, run-downhouse thats been convertedto an ambulance station,so to think that it could getworse from there is hard tofathom, but it just might,he said.

Eby said he didnt knowwhen the eviction wouldhappen, but it is going tohappen.

A representative fromB.C. Ambulance Servicedid not conrm or denyEbys comments.

We have no plans forthe foreseeable future, saidKelsie Carwithen, mediarelations manager with B.C.Ambulance Service.

Eby was critical ofthe ambulance servicemanagement.

Unfortunately, theAmbulance Service doesnthave a terric track recordfor securing new land orbuildings to operate theirambulances.

In 2013, B.C.

Ambulance Service optedto move ambulances inVictoria from severalsatellite stations to a centraldepot.

With a new ambulancestation under constructionat Lions Gate Hospital, Ebysuggested the service maymove to a similar setup onthe North Shore.

Our feeling is that theywill likely shut down theWestVancouver ambulancestation completely whentheyre evicted and it willbe centralized to NorthVancouver, he said.

That would be a mistake,according to Eby.

Our opinion is thatthe response times wouldsuffer from that changebecause the ambulance

would at least twice aday when its doing its shiftchanges have to leave thecommunity, he said.

There can also beproblems when anambulance is parkedoutdoors and exposed tothe elements, said Eby.

Drugs like epinephrine a dose of adrenaline usedto treat life-threateningallergic reactions andNarcan which is oftenprescribed for drugoverdoses can becompromised by extremecold. If the temperature inthe ambulance drops belowa certain level, theres apossibility of ice crystalsforming in injectable drugsand IV solutions.

Additionally, response

times can lag if a paramedicneeds to clear snow offthe hood or de-fog thewindshield.

In Deep Cove, theambulance station is reallyquite deplorable, accordingto Eby.

The station is awindowless room in a long-term care facility, and thebathrooms are at the otherend of the building, Ebysaid.

The Deep Cove stationis considered a low priorityon the North Shore, Ebyexplained.When thereare only two ambulancesavailable to serve theNorth Shore becauseothers have been calledto neighbouring areas forinstance Deep Cove

loses its ambulance so thatparamedics can be splitbetweenWest and NorthVancouver.

When there is onlyone ambulance to servethe North Shore, theambulance is parked atWestview.

This happens severaltimes a day, Eby said.

Eby has previously calledfor a second ambulance inWestVancouver.

When respondingto a call in the BritishProperties from Deep Cove,the response time can beas long as 25 minutes,according to Eby.

We nd it completelyinadequate to only have oneambulance to begin with,he said.

redevelopment or rezoningat your own risk, he said.Im not eager to see toomuch more developmenthappen at Seymour untilinfrastructure and thetransportation network cantolerate it.

As long as thepace of developmentoutpaces transportationimprovements, growth willlimit access to bridges,hospitals and schools,said Eric Andersen, whowas speaking on behalf of

the Seymour Local PlanMonitoring Committee.

Seymour has seen222 new units in the past11 years. However, ifdevelopments onTsleilWaututh land and othernearby projects areincluded in the tabulation,that number swells to 851units in 11 years.

It is entirely appropriatefor council to apply thebrakes until infrastructurehas a chance to catch up,according to Andersen.

The district needsto focus on sustainable

development as opposedto continuing to sprawlup our mountainside, saidCoun. Lisa Muri.

With myriaddevelopments in variousphases of completion,residents need a respitefrom what can be a verystressful process, accordingto Muri.

The days of continuingto battle developmentapplications needed tocome to an end, she said.Were just very cognizantof piling too many projectson at once.

Forget politics. (Oh,gladly?)Talk about lifewhere we live it: If yourmate dies before you,which is about even oddsin this town of the white-haired old,would youremarry?

I pause to quote, not forthe rst time, G.B. Shawswitty remark that a secondmarriage is the triumph ofhope over experience.

Moving on, I lied up inparagraph one: Families aresocietys bricks and mortar,far more political than thetransient goings-on andscandals in legislatures.Thepolitics of family, marriage,children, death rightdown to the misrememberedmemories, and the gossipof distant cousins arethe most political things onearth.

And the most intimate.Thus, like all intimacies,universal. So at a certain age,if not earlier, do Alice and

Harry talk about what theylldo if one of them shufes offthis mortal coil before theother?

Often. Or so I suspect.Those who dont, simplythink about it more.Theyare gripped by a kind ofneo-Victorian horror at thetastelessness of discussingthe subject. Others nd itmore fascinating than curlingon television.

I could never marry

anyone else,Alice, 35years with one husband,proclaims. Harry isreassured, or maybe not.The habit of marriage isextremely habitual, youmight say. One can miss it.(And forget our societyshugely over-reported matterof sex. No volcano is asextinct as old married sex.)If Alice is happy with onemarriage, why wouldntshe be happy with another?Why shouldnt she be, anddeservedly?

Advancing age invites,demands, even pleads for,a close ally. Children maybe distant, or too burdenedthemselves. No less apersonage than former topB.C. cabinet minister PatMcGeer told me that hisAunt Ada advised him, Oldage isnt for sissies.AuntAda must have got around,because since then Ive heardit frommany others.

Anyway,Harry makes

no such proclamationhimself, or may lie throughhis clacking false teeth. Helightly fantasizes, assumingAlices demise and after aproper mourning period,about connecting withsingle women he knows,unmarried or widows, evenabout the attractive wivesof men friends if they hadthe misfortune of reachingthe same state of lonelyavailability.

One has to acknowledgehuman needs.Male needs,especially.Widows arefamously more adaptablethan widowers, andstatistically live longer.Better cooking only partlyresponsible.

Im not sure if theabove is ponderously heavygoing, or too glib. Its noaccident that there are morejokes concerning marriageand death than about aCatholic priest, a rabbi anda Protestant minister going

into a bar.The serious fact is that

death, approaching oraccomplished, can heightenfamily tensions, sharpentooth and claw, or raisequestions about, or by,faithful caregivers or late-in-the-day live-ins who becomecloser (and more helpful)to the departed than anyrelative.You know this.

Now, the reason thiscolumn has insisted onbeing written while GreatEvents (not!) are ignored.It is a truth universallyacknowledged that a personwalking a dog has no lack ofcasual, and especially warmand kind, conversations, notall with other dog-walkers.I suspect the role of the dogas matchmaker might rivalany professional operationin connecting mate-seeking(or lunch-lonely) males andfemales.

If WestVancouver,with its high ratio of

snow-coloured heads, isLonelyville for many, adog is the best, most lovingand least quarrelsomecompanion on earth. Itsdepressing that many condosand landlords forbid them.

Cats? Fine.A woman toldme with utter sincerity thatafter her husband died, a catthey had got only monthsbefore his death saved mylife.And not in a re orwhatever, of course, but in ahealing, metaphysical sense.

You see many oldpeople walking alone onAmbleside Beachs dog walk,one ofWestVans pricelessglories.You can never tellabout faces.A sombre andwithdrawn face can maskinner ease and a special spiritgiven exclusively to the old.She who walks alone is notnecessarily lonely.

But for those who are:Consider a dog. Or a cat.

Advancing age demands close allies

True confessionsApparently its true confession timein the B.C. legislature these days.Hands up all those politicianswho took a vacation with their family onthe public dime that theyd like to comeclean about.

For all the talk about transparency,accountability and cautionary talesof politicians who were less thanforthcoming about what they billed tothe public, theres a lot of ink still beingspilled on the topic.

The most recent example is SpeakerLinda Reid, who took her husband toa commonwealth conference in SouthAfrica at taxpayers expense, where theywere photographed doing importantgovernment work like petting lions andgiraffes.

Isnt it amazing that work so integralto democracy never gets scheduled inWinnipeg in January?

Not to be outdone, deputy speakerRay Chouchan was soon making hisown confession to taking his wife on thesame junket, adding Reid had told himthe expense was okay.

Expense confessions have proved aremarkably bipartisan activity.

There are regulations governing whatkind of travel politicians can bill. But theregulations are lax and the loopholes solarge a 747 can be and frequently is own through them.

Politicians who have taken advantageof the rules know it is wrong. But theyhave come to consider it a perk of thejob and adopted a buy now, pay whencaught mentality.

Its time the rules were tightened.But dont hold your breath. Leaving itto the collective conscience and moraljudgment of those we elect has so farproved remarkably ineffective.

So is the B.C. economydriven by the naturalresource sector or not?

Youll be hearingconicting answers to thatquestion in the months andyears ahead as debate swirlson whether to build variousmega-projects, but the issuegoes to the heart of whereB.C.s economy is headed.

Last week, two groupsreleased what appeared tobe contradictory reportson the importance of theenergy industry to B.C.soverall economic health.Acloser look, however, showsthere may be more commonground between the twoviews than rst thought.

One group, calledthe Conversations forResponsible EconomicDevelopment (CRED),published a study thatquestions the premise thatB.C. is a resource-basedprovince. Using a varietyof government statistics, itmakes the case that threequarters of our economicactivity is, in fact, derivedfrom the service industry.

On the other hand,CRED argues just 11 percent of the provinces grossdomestic product comesfrom the energy sector.The organization, whosephilosophy seems to tilttoward greenish, small

business-oriented values,is trying to make the pointthat industries like mining,forestry and energy aredwarfed by real estate,retail and various serviceindustries when it comesto having an impact on theeconomy.

Another organization,calling itself BritishColumbians for Prosperityput out its own report thatclaims building those twopipelines fromAlbertasoil sands the NorthernGateway and KinderMorgan pipelines wouldcreate almost 10,000 jobsand generate more than $11billion in economic activity.

Two reports, twocompletely different takes ona key part of our economy.So whos correct?Well, bothperhaps.

The common link here isthe construction industry.

Both CRED and theProsperity group agree theconstruction industry playsa vital role in building B.C.seconomy.What the CREDreport does not do is linkconstruction jobs to the hugeeconomic spinoffs associatedwith various energy projectson the drawing board.

For example, BC Hydroestimates a staggering33,000 jobs would becreated in the constructionand development phaseof the Site C dam project,as it makes its case for themegaproject to go ahead.

The B.C. governmentestimates that if ve liquiednatural gas plants arebuilt in the northwest (anadmittedly ambitious andperhaps unrealistic plan) that39,000 construction jobswould be created.Throw inthose pipeline job estimates,and we could be lookingat a whopping 80,000 newconstruction jobs beingcreated over the next decade.

Those estimates couldbe much too high. But evenif half those jobs come tofruition, they will have asubstantial impact on B.C.seconomy, not least becausethey will all be well-payingjobs that create a lot ofeconomic activity.

And we should hope atleast some of those jobs doindeed materialize. If theydont, a lot of young peopleare going to nd themselvesstuck in dead-end jobs (likemany in the service sector)that dont pay much and

make living in an expensivearea like MetroVancouveralmost impossible.

British Columbia appearsheaded to a crossroads. Jobcreation has been stagnant inthis province for several yearsnow, despite the B.C. Liberal

governments lofty B.C.Jobs Plan.While we may notpresently be as reliant on thenatural resource sector as iscommonly perceived, it maybe in our economic self-

Volunteering has beena continuous threadthrough the fabric of FredTitcombs life.

And thats sayingsomething, becauseTitcomb who turns 102on April 17 has beenlogging volunteer hourslonger than most peoplehave been alive.

Titcomb is the recipientof a 2014 B.C. CommunityAchievement Award forhis 35-year dedication asa volunteer at theWestVancouver Seniors ActivityCentre.

Its wonderful becauseIve had lots of differentawards (including theQueens Diamond Jubileemedal) but this one is prettyspecial, saidTitcomb.

But the past three and ahalf decades of volunteeringat the centre are only a smallpart ofTitcombs story.

He credits his mother a fantastic volunteer with sparking his interestin helping out.

I just picked up from

her because I seem to havebeen doing something likethat all my life.

Titcomb was born inMoose Jaw, Sask., twodays after the sinkingof theTitanic. He cametoVancouver in 1933,right in the middle ofthe Depression. He methis wife Ada and theybegan courting during theconstruction of the LionsGate Bridge.They marriedand moved into a house onDuchess Avenue inWestVancouver around 1939.

When we came andmoved intoWestVancouver,I immediately joined thevolunteer re departmentand was on the redepartment for I guess 17years, which at that timewas mostly volunteers, saidTitcomb.

The couple opened acraft store called Hobbylandon Marine Drive andTitcomb continuedhis volunteer activities,including 10 years as adirector at theYMCA.

Titcomb said he was therst one in the door to theseniors activity centre when

it opened in 1981.I immediately came

and joined, he said. I gotinvolved in everything andit became almost like afull-time job coming heresometimes. It would lla book for the number ofthings that I really did.

Titcomb helped raisedonations for the cafeteria,learning the simple thingsabout a computer so hecould take in all the chequesand type up the receipts andthank you notes. He did thesame during fundraising forthe Marine Room.

Titcomb was chairmanat the centre from 1984 to1986, but his regular jobsince joining was alwaystaking care of the statistics,recording how many peopleuse the building and howmany people do drop-ins.

I love to do stats andits all part of my life and Iguess why Im still around,he said.

Titcomb works at theseniors centre morningsnow, ve days a week.

I stay away Saturdayand Sunday because Ithink you have to have atleast a little time away, butyou know thats the mostmiserable time, he said.Saturdays and SundaysI dont particularly like,

The unmistakable smellsof bacon and sausage,along with variousdelectable pastries, werean ironic backdrop toa speech about healthconcerns delivered byfederal Health MinisterRona Ambrose March 21at the Hollyburn CountryClub inWestVancouver.

The breakfast speech,hosted by theWestVancouver Chamber ofCommerce, addressed thegovernments continuingaction on various healthconcerns.

Ambrose said amongstthose concerns arethe needs of an agingpopulation, the impactof chronic conditions onhealth care and whethernew technologies are

actually increasing costs butnot quality of care. But sheadded inactivity and obesityrates remain key concerns.

The burden of illnesson Canadian families thatresults from being inactive,this is one of the mostchallenging issues that faceour health-care system,said Ambrose. The ratesof inactivity in Canadacontinue to be quite high.

Ambrose said recent datashows only ve per centof children and youth arephysically active enough tomeet Canadian guidelines.

A lot of parents areshocked to hear thatbecause their kids, theythink, are fairly active, shesaid, adding that only 13per cent of adult womenand 17 per cent of adultmen currently meet physicalactivity guidelines. Becauseinactivity is a risk factor forobesity and chronic disease,these data point to what is avery disturbing reality.

Currently one in everythree Canadian childrenand youth are overweight orobese, said Ambrose.

This represents a morethan doubling of obesityamong Canadian children

and youth in the past25 years, she said. ForCanadian adults, two thirdsof adult men and overhalf of adult women areoverweight or obese now.She said obesity rates arehigher among aboriginalpeople.

Ambrose said if leftunchecked, the impactsof obesity would continueto grow with irreversibleconsequences. This is adire situation that werefacing in the health-caresystem. Reducing obesityis everyones problem and isa complex issue, she said.

She said all segments ofsociety must work togetherto deal with obesity.

JohnWeston, MP forWestVancouver Sea-to-Sky Country, reinforcedAmbroses message aboutthe need for collaborationto conquer health issues,as well as the need forCanadians to take the lead.

Its not governmentthat can do these things,government can orchestrateand encourage and espouseideals, saidWeston. Butultimately its up to us asCanadians to do thesethings.

Pals collaborate on 3Days inHavanaCharacter cuts conferenceto explore the real CubaJULIE CRAWFORDContributingWriter

If you thought being theparent of a teenagerwas hard, try being thedirector-dad who hasto tell his 14-year-olddaughter that her scenesin his movie are on thecutting-room oor.

It was by no meansa reection on what shedid, shes super-talented,says Vancouver native GilBellows, co-director andstar of 3 Days in Havana,which opens acrossCanada today. Itll neverbe harder than that.

The lm was a family-and-friends affair from thebeginning.When Bellowsgot his rst real actinggig on a National FilmBoard project alongsidefellow edgling actor TonyPantages, the pair made apledge that theyd nd away to work together; littledid they know it wouldhappen 25 years later.

A lot happened inbetween: Bellows hada breakout role in TheShawshank Redemption,was Allys forever love Billy Thomas on

TVs Ally McBeal, starredin another several dozenlm andTV projects, andwon an Emmy as executiveproducer on HBOsTemple Grandin. Pantagesleft acting and became asuccessful music videoproducer.

It was after the successof Temple Grandin thatan angel investorhelped grant Bellows thefreedom to plan his nextproject.The result is 3Days In Havana, about abusinessman named JackPetty who blows off hisinsurance conference tosee the real Havana,thanks to a beautifulwoman in an airport barand travel writer HarrySmith, his hedonistic newBFF.

The hijinks turn darkafter a case of mistakenidentity, and Jack ndshimself on the run.

The lm starsGregWise (Sense andSensibility), Phyllida Law,Christopher Heyerdahland Rya Kihlstedt (Dexter,Home Alone 3), Bellowswife offscreen.

Englishman GregWise and Bellows are

also longtime friends whohad plans to collaborate.(Greg shouldve beenJames Bond, in myopinion, great guy); fansof the usually reserved

Phyllida Law will besurprised to see her play abaddie for a change, evendropping an f-bomb: Iknow, right? How cool isthat? says Bellows. It

was one of those momentswhen she did it, I thoughtthats a little piece ofcinematic gold!

Not everyone nds thedirectors chair roomy

Farm life instilled strongwork ethic

along the way that soundedinteresting and that he

could use to learn newskills.

I wasnt ever saying tomyself, well Im doing this

but I hate it, but Im hopingsome day it will get mewhere I want to be. Instead,in both a deliberate and

evolutionary manner it wasmore a matter of OK, thatswhere Id like my life tohead and if everything wentperfectly then eventuallyIll walk on the moon. Butits probably not going togo perfectly so meanwhilewhat am I going to doand whats interesting andwhat challenges me, heexplains. And all of thosethings were fascinating andinteresting and challengingand fun and luckily enoughthe opportunity arosethat they also led to beingselected as a CanadianSpace Agency astronaut.

Its a matter of howyou dene success andhow you dene getting towhere you want to be, headds. He says hes puzzledby people who say theyrebored because he believesthere is always somethinginteresting to do and alwayssomething new to learn.

I was raised on a farmand so I think I learned along time ago the benet ofwork. Not just that you getstuff done, which is goodin itself, but that theresgreat pleasure in gettingstuff done and being ableto look back at the end ofthe day and see that youaccomplished something,he explains. Theresa contentment and asteadily increasing senseof self-worth that comesfrom doing useful work,so its sort of internallycontagious.

Next week, Hadeld willvisit NorthVancouver fora special presentation atCentennialTheatre.

I called the talk thatIm going to giveThe Skyis Not the Limit because Ihear all the time, The skysthe limit. I lived half a yearabove the sky.The sky isnot the limit.

The inside scoopon spring styleLO

OK

[email protected]

Dresses, oral prints andthe trusty old blue jeanare all trending in thisyears spring fashion.

Deb Nichol, owner ofThe Latest Scoop, a pop-up store inWestVancouverthat opened earlier thismonth, says blue jeans andwaistlines are making a riseagain.

Denim is an interestingthing because weve hadcoloured denims andtextured denims for quitea while, so really yourestarting to see the returnof the pure denim meaningthe blue denim, saysNichol. Youre startingto see a little bit of ahigher waist, theres stilleverything available frommid-rise to high-rise butyoure just starting to seepeople go back into thedenim, with like a littlebit of a higher waist andmaybe different washes init.

The bohemian look, asummer favourite, is alsotrending for spring butNichol says its a little bitprettier, with A-line skirtswith chiffon above thehemline.

Its quite pretty andquite ladylike, she says,adding that colours aremore neutral.

Nichol, aWestVancouver resident, hasmade following the latesttrends in fashion a constantwork in progress. Sheopens Scoop twice a yearin both itsWestVancouverand South Granville

locations, buying clothing,accessories, housewaresand furniture months afterother retailers have alreadyordered to get the mostcurrent looks.

Nichol started Scoop in2004 after working morethan 25 years in retail.

When I sold mybusiness on Robson Streetyears ago, I wanted togo back into retail but Iwanted to create somethingthat was completely uniqueto what anybody else wasdoing, and really morehonestly to suit what Iwanted to do, says Nichol.I didnt want to havethe same old retail rulesthat apply to most otherretailers.

Nichol says thatswhen she decided to starther own pop-up store,capitalizing on both herexperience in retail andwhat she knew were themost productive months.

Retail rents arenormally quite high andoften its the months thatdont produce that chewup the prots for themonths that do, she says.So I decided that I wouldonly open up on what wecall the happy months March, April, May,June.

To stay on top of thetrends, Nichol, 56, and herbuyer, Caroline Forsyth,26, travel to Los Angelestwice a month as well asNewYork and other partsof the world.

Popular restaurants, storesprovide insight on fashion

magazines and people,she says. When were inL.A. and NewYork, wespend a lot of time in themore popular restaurantsand stores and look at whatpeople are wearing.

Nichol says they bothunderstand fashion, whatsa trend and what stylepeople will want.

We just kind of collectthe information as theyears go along but its justsomething that we loveto do, she says. We getboth ends of the spectrumbecause we dont believe itsreally about age, fashion isreally about attitudes andwhat youre comfortablewearing.

Nichol says about 99per cent of their buying isdone in Los Angeles andNewYork, but they do buyfrom Canada as well.

Scoop, located inDundarave at 2470 MarineDrive, is open now untilthe end of June or the rstweek of July.

Images recall Vancouvers seedypast

[email protected]

Film noir is a kingdom ofcorruption.

There are cops on thetake and dames wholltake all theyve got.Thereare box men, wheel men,fall guys, bar ies, stoolpigeons, grifters, drifters,thugs, lugs, pugs andreporters.

That world of rain-slicked city streets andlonely gures smoking

cigarettes under lamppostsis recalled in Stan Douglas:Synthetic Pictures.

The exhibition, currentlyshowing at PresentationHouse Gallery, includes aseries of black and whitephotographs that tie toVancouvers own seedyhistory.

The most jaw droppingof Douglas works isHogans Alley.

The photo illustrationgives the viewer a big,black-and-white look at

ramshackle shelters andsmall houses.You can seedetails like rotten boardsand the way the light spillsout of a window and ontothe rust eating away at acorrugated tin roof.

But theres somethingelse about the picture.

Looking about thegallery, exhibit curatorHelga Pakasaar hesitates todescribe it.

Its truly realistic, shesays. And yet . . .

She doesnt nishher thought, as thoughthe picture has somequality that lies beyonddescription.

The work was inspired

by photos of the mixed raceneighbourhood that wasdestined for destruction in1972 to make way for theGeorgiaViaduct.

The perspective is bothwide and deep. Pakasaarcompares the viewersvantage point to what amovie director can see fromatop a crane.

Its like youre going toswoop into something, shesays.

The photo realism anddepth of perspective isstartling.

He could neverhave captured that in aphotograph.The lens limitswhat it sees, this is lens-

less, Pakasaar says.The history of lm

noir is littered with bitsof concrete poetry like:He hasnt got enoughblood left in him to keepa chicken alive, or, Idhate to take a bite out ofyou.Youre a cookie fullof arsenic. But asidefrom pulp ction andchiaroscuro lighting, thegenre may owe its greatestdebt toWeegee.

Also known as ArthurFellig,Weegee was afreelance photographerwho worked the graveyardshift, using ash bulbs toilluminate NewYorks nightin the 1930s, 40s, and 50s.

With a darkroom in histrunk and a police radioby the dashboard,Weegeecaught violence and deathin 1/200th of a second.

Those crime photos arealso recalled in Douglascollection.

Suspect shows oneman anked by what weassume are two overworkeddetectives.

The cameras ash castseach dent and divot intheir faces in stark relief.With his arms crossed, thesuspect seems to be staringright at you, but his eyes arehidden behind sunglasses.

Dawsonunveils stripped-down soundMUSIC

n Steve Dawson at St.Jamess Hall, 3214W. 10thAve.,Vancouver, Sunday,Mar. 30 at 8 p.m. (doorsopen at 7 p.m.).Tickets:$24/$20 at HighlifeRecords, Rufus Guitarsor roguefolk.bc.ca.

[email protected]

Bluesman and guitarvirtuoso Steve Dawsonis coming to town, on thewake of his new album,which celebrates thelegacy of some of hismusical heroes.

Dawson lived inWestVancouver for the rst10 years of his life beforemoving toToronto with hisfamily for four years. It wason his return toVancouverthat he fell in love with themusic he still plays to thisday, listening to his friendsmusic and connectingwith the music scene inVancouver in the 80s.

I had kept in touch witha lot of my friends fromWestVancouver and theywere the ones who got reallyinto music, says Dawson.So when I moved back in86 toVancouver, I had onefriend in particular, him andI had a band going reallyshortly after I moved backtoVancouver.

From that point forward,Dawson started to meet

others playing music,jamming together andplaying in bars, despitebeing teenagers. I dontknow if you could get awaywith that anymore, butthats what we did backthen.

Currently, Dawson ison tour to promote hisnew album,RattlesnakeCage.The album reectsDawsons love for thesimple beauty of thestripped-down, bare-bonesskill of the forefathers ofblues music.

To echo this tradition,Dawson is accompaniedin studio by only a fewof his favourite guitars,a venerable microphonefound in a Detroit churchand nothing else.

I wanted to record it ina really old fashioned waywhere the technology I usedwas nothing more than whatthey wouldve had back inthe 50s. So I wanted toapproach (Rattlesnake Cage)like that, says Dawson.

His appreciation forthe legends of old is founddirectly in several tracks,with tunes such as TheMedicine Show Comes toAvalon as a tip of the hat toMississippi John Hurt, whoused to play for a medicineshow that came through hishometown of Avalon.

Another is The Altarat Center Raven, about

the Reverend Gary Davis,a blind guitar player whobecame an ordainedminister and preachedat Center Raven, SouthCarolina, in the 30s.

He was an amazingguitar player. He was apreacher but I know him asa guitar player. I wanted toincorporate those inuencesbut keep it original andmodern at the same time,says Dawson.

Besides playing, Dawsonalso enjoys producing, andhas won Juno Awards forboth two for playing, and

ve for producing.Id like to think that

there is some sort of happymedium of splitting the twothings up, so I dont have toabandon one.

Dawson says he stillloves to play live, butthat as he gets older, thecomplications of being onthe road tire me out morethan when I was 18 or 19,he says.

Its hard to presentthe kind of music that youwant to, and get aroundeasily, as everything is reallyexpensive these days.Travel

is so hard, getting yourinstruments on airplanes,and just things like that, thatmake it frustrating for beingon tour.

Producing allowsDawson to make a recordin the comfort of his home,which is now the storiedmusic town of Nashville,Tenn. Having moved onlymonths ago, the citysmusical legacy is of greatappeal to the veteranmusician.

I love (Nashville). Its apretty action-packed town .. .Theres all kinds of music

going on, a lot of recording,lot of live music . . . Itskind of a melting pot rightnow . . . with (White Stripesfrontman) JackWhitemoving to town, that sort ofchanged the landscape forthe whole place a little bit.

After the tour, Dawsonwill be working on severalprojects in Nashville. Heplans to travel back toCanada and hopes to keepon working with Canadianartists after years in theindustry. So thats myplan, to keep that Canadianconnection going strong.

Intrigue is a pair ofwomens shoes reectedin a awless background,almost like they were sittingon a lake of oil.

Burlap appears to showa body beneath a cover,but when you look a littlecloser, you begin to noticethe proportions of thebackground dont makesense.

It unravels intosomething kind of curiousor mysterious, Pakasaarsays.

One of Douglas moststriking pictures is Cache.

A square section of wallhas been taken off, andinside we can see a pile ofgoodies including cash,cards, dominoes, dice,poker chips and LondonDry Gin.

Theres a single hand inthe frame holding one-thirdof a cigar and pointing atthe cheap treasures with astubby index nger.

Pakasaar suggests thepicture may have beeninspired by the lore ofThePenthouse.

In his book Liquor, Lust,and the Law:The Story ofVancouvers LegendaryPenthouse Nightclub, heir

to theVIP room DannyFilippone recounts ndinga similar hidden spot.Fittingly enough, thatcache was a pile of classicpictures.

The colour in the galleryis supplied by DouglasCorrupt File, a series ofbig pictures that look likerainbow bar codes.

The pictures each have afour-digit combination fora title.

These are notabstractions at all,Pakasaar says of the photos.Theyre actually concreteevidence of this process oftranslation.
