Katy Perry fan gives up ticket for teachers...

Students win honking war

If Wednesday was a competition betweenthe picketing teachers and the protestingstudents for honking support, the studentswould win hands down.Granted, the Richmond Secondary

students picked a hot location lunchtimeat Brighouse Canada Line station to pleadfor an end to the bitter feud between theirteachers and the B.C. government.The chants from the 20 or so teenagers at

the hastily-arranged student rally, however,were drowned out by the near constant blaresfrom the horns of truck drivers, bus drivers,taxi drivers and the public.Waving hand-made signs, saying

prioritize students and least involved,yet most affected, the students had broadsupport.Quite frankly, the students, who said they

supported neither side of the divide, have hadenough, and they want to return to school.We feel that, as a group, weve been

cut out of the debate, said one of the rally

organizers, Nancy Ji, the captain of theschools volleyball team, who should be inher second week of Grade 12.Im applying for university soon and,

without my grades from the June exams wemissed, along with maybe missing first termresults this year, its going to be difficult toapply to a U.S. university in December.Were out here to put more pressure on

the negotiations as we really, really need toget back to school.Nikol Grishin, who would normally be

in Grade 11, is desperate to get back toRichmond Secondary to reconnect with allher friends and start working toward herdream of getting into medical school next

year. Many of us are missing the sports, aswell, and the whole school environment,said Grishin, who also coaches sport at theschool.I have a couple of books at home to

review some stuff but its nothing close to

the real thing. We all just want to get back tolearning.Another student-led protest is scheduled

for outside Richmond Public Library onFriday, Sept. 12 at 2:30 p.m., with speakersfrom university student unions expected.

A gobsmacked Renzey Rozmansees Katy Perry take to the stage onWednesday. The day before, shedasked her mom to give the price of aticket to the teachers.

Little Renzey Rozman couldnt be any cuter ifshe tried.A diehard Katy Perry fan, eight-year-old

Renzey had the chance to see her idol in theflesh at Rogers Arena on Tuesday night.Instead, the Grade 3Westwind elementary

student asked her mom, Erin, to hand over the$250 it would cost for a ticket to the RichmondTeachersAssociation hardship fund.I can see Katy Perry anytime, but my

teachers need me today, Renzey told theRichmond News onWednesday, just a few hoursbefore the second of Perrys Vancouver concerts.The News went online the same day with

Renzeys story, with an appeal for someone toemail her mom if they had a spare couple oftickets. The News also tweeted the appeal directto Perry.At 7 p.m., an email landed in Erins inbox

from Perrys manager, saying hed heard ofRenzeys selfless gesture, adding that Katywould like to offer you freetickets for tonights concert.I was at a work meeting

in Burnaby, but I calledRenzey right away and shesquealed down the phone,Erin told the News onThursday morning.My husband had to drive

her to Burnaby and then we dashed to the showand got there about 8:45 p.m. Even the person atthe will-call window knew who Renzey was.Perry hit the stage just after 9 p.m. and Renzey

was in absolute awe, according to her mom.Earlier the same day, Renzey was asked how

big a Perry fan she was, saying I dont haveposters of her on the wall and I dont have all hersongs yet, but I wish I did.Renzey turned up late Tuesday on the picket

line outside her school to hand the cheque overto the striking teachers.

She came armed with asign, which simply read,my teachers matter morethan a Katy Perry concert.Westwinds teacher/

librarian Phyllis Haley wasthrilled when she heard ofRenzeys gesture.Shes an amazing little

girl and were all so grateful, said Haley, who,along with her Westwind colleagues, thankedRenzey in person on the picket line Wednesdayafternoon.Referring to the second Katy Perry concert on

Wednesday night, Haley said, I tried to see ifradio stations or promoters had two tickets theycould donate to Renzey, but I was out of luck.Not knowing that Perrys tour manager had

Judge orders psych assessment formanwho terrorized girlfriend

A judge has ordereda Richmond man with ahistory of violence againstwomen to undergo apsychiatric assessment todetermine whether he shouldbe declared a dangerousoffender.Tuesdays decision by B.C.

Supreme Court Justice GailDickson came after James

Lee Roper pleadedguilty in Decemberto an incident inwhich he held hisgirlfriend hostage,punching, kickingand terrorizing herbefore firing a shotthrough a wall, thebullet grazing apolice officers ear.The incident happened in

the 7200 block of LindsayRoad just south of theGranville and Railwayavenues intersection.Nearby Burnett secondary

was locked down for almosttwo hours as RCMP officersattempted to communicatewith Roper inside the SussexSquare building.They finally talked him out

without incident almost sixhours later.Crown counsel Dasein

Nearing said that 2011hostage incident was the

latest in Roperslong history ofviolence againstwomen.Theres been

a 19-year historyof ever-increasingviolence againstwomen andintimate partners,

she said. Nearing cited inparticular four assaultsagainst one female partner,with Roper punching andkicking her numerous times.On one occasion, after

punching her in the head, hesaid, Ill kill you, you f---ingbitch. If the police are here,youll die.Roper also has a number of

convictions for bank robbery,including two separaterobberies in which he held upthe same female teller.Nearing said a number of

prior assessments had beendone on Roper including one

in 2012 that found he was ahigh-risk to re-offend.Michael Ritzker, Ropers

lawyer, said he didnt opposethe psychiatric assessment,noting there was a lowthreshold for approval ofsuch assessments.He said, however, there

were aspects of his clientsbehaviour that put his actionsin a more positive light.The assessment is expected

to take two months. If thepsychiatrist finds that Roperis a high-risk to re-offend, theCrown might proceed with afull, month-long hearing toseek the dangerous offenderdesignation, which can resultin an indefinite jail term.If hes deemed of a

lesser risk, the Crowncan still seek a long termoffender designation, witha determinant jail sentencefollowed by a supervisionorder in the community.

tried in vain to get two ticketswhen they first went on sale.I forgot about it until

the other day and went onCraigslist, but the cheapestwere $250, added Rozman,whos the president of theDouglas College FacultyAssociation.I said to Renzey, do you

Guess whos back? Brodies back.OnWednesday, Mayor Malcolm Brodieannounced his candidacy for the mayoralrace for the City of Richmond.Standing uncontested to date, Brodie, the

citys mayor since 2001, could become thesecond longest-standing mayor/reeve inthe history of Richmond. Should he followthrough on the upcoming four-year term,Brodie would tie former mayor Gilbert Blairwith 18 years of public service, with onlyRudy Grauer, who served as Richmondsreeve from 1930 to 1949, having servedlonger in the citys top political chair.I will be formally running for the

position of mayor of the City of Richmondin the upcoming civic election, which is to

take place on Nov. 15, said Brodie at hisoffice in Richmond City Hall.Brodie, a lawyer by profession, left off

last election with a political war chest of$164,000, which has since been kept ina city trust fund. In the past five mayoralelections Brodie has always garnered atleast two-thirds of the vote running as anindependent following two terms on councilrunning with the Richmond First slate.At his media briefing Brodie addressed

several issues he wants to see carried out.He noted there would be no bold moves

and, just as in the 2011 election. was mindfulof continued densification in the CityCentre.The city is either growing in many

different ways or its going on a downhillslope. I believe we have to continue growingand grow with quality of life in mind, saidBrodie, dismissing the notion that the cityhas grown too fast.He cited the citys expected population

boom of about 80,000 more people in thenext 25 years and said densification willneed precision planning, including newfacilities, policing, a transportation planfocused on the Canada Line, and parklanddevelopment.

He cited the Railway Greenway and theRichmond Olympic Oval as successfulprojects that have incorporated active livingin the city. He noted maintaining the citysheritage and environment in the face ofdevelopment will be a continued challenge.He indicated one of his strengths has been

cooperation with city councillors, creditingthem, along with volunteers and city stafffor his long run in office. He dismissed theimplication by some that, too often, city staffdirect city issues.We (the mayor and council) set the

political direction for what we want done,we rely on staff for implementation andexpertise, he said.Regarding the issue of a cultural gap

and fractured communities, Brodie noted,Were proud of the fact were one of themost diverse cities in the country, but it takesconstant attention and work to make surethat its a harmonious situation.Brodie said over 13 years the citys

international focus has expanded.Brodie addressed two new political

slates that have stated the city needs moretransparency and engagement with residents.We can always do better and be more

effective in terms of communication. But allof us only have 24 hours in a day, and we tryto reach out as best we can, he said.On the issue of the citys abysmal voter

turnout, Brodie noted he opposed councilsdecision to scrap the vote anywhere plan,which was employed in 2011 and resultedin a mere 1.6 per cent spike in turnout from2008. It was scrapped to save about $90,000.Brodie, 66, said he will take his career one

election at a time. He indicated no desire tomove up to higher government.To read the 40-minute question and

answer period, see Richmond-News.com.

Reading of LRB ruling differs

Both sides in the near 16-month long labourdispute at the Richmond Ikea store are talkingfollowing a pair of Labour Relations Boardrulings provided a split decision.Anita Dawson, who represents the 300 or

so workers belonging to Teamsters Local 213,said talks resumed with the Swedish furnituregiant Monday, and bargaining is expected tocarry over into next week.Dawson disputed the companys

interpretation of one LRB recent rulingregarding the 35 employees who crossed thepicket line and went back to work.The Teamsters expelled those workers from

the union for their actions and requested theybe re-assigned to another store, or assumemanagement positions.Ikea stated last week the LRB found the

company did not bargain in bad faith in thematter and the unions request to removethe employees would have been against theCanada Labour Code.However, union reps stressed they had not

asked for the employees to be removed butre-assigned.For the record, the Teamsters position

always has been and continues to be thatwe do not want those people fired and have

suggested alternatives to Ikea regarding theiremployment, Dawson said.The LRBs second ruling denied Ikeas

appeal to overturn its earlier judgementthe company had bargained directly withemployees who returned to work by offeringdifferent conditions during the strike thanwhat had been offered to the union duringbargaining. According to Ikea, the conditionsincluded weekend overtime and $2.50 an hourpremiums for some employees.Dawson said Ikea is not allowed to

continue to pay the enhanced wages.Clearly what they did was in bad faith and

we are very pleased that the board upheld theoriginal decision which also ordered damagesto be paid to the union for everything thatwas paid above what had been offered at thebargaining table, Dawson said.She added the union will be pursuing

damages and have asked the employer for thepayroll records to determine the amounts.In a press release, Ikeas public relations

manager Madeleine Lwenborg-Frick, saidthe company will abide by the ruling.However, we maintain that we were solely

looking to compensate our employees forthe added work they are doing during thestrike, she said. This ruling does not affectcollective bargaining or the outcome of thestrike.

For a woman whocampaigned hard (twice)for a seat in the B.C.Legislature, Premier ChristyClark sure doesnt seem to likethe place very much.With only 24 days scheduled

for MLAs to sit in their hard-earned Victoria seats for therest of this year, Clark hasscheduled herself a trademission to India for 10 of them.Her sixth India trip since

becoming premier, shesscheduled to arrive in NewDelhi just two days after thestart of the fall session.MLAs will tell you theyre

hard at work when theyre not

in Victoria and a quick lookat their social media feedswill confirm there are a lot ofbarbecues and wine tastingsto get through. Theres not asingle MLAwho campaignedto represent us on the barbecuecircuit. Each and every one ofthem was elected to representus in the legislature, and theyalready spend far too little timethere.Now, we dont fault the

premier for trying to advanceour business interests abroadand maybe while shes thereshe can get some pointers onwhy their middle class is risingas ours is shrinking away.

But we have to ask whythe trade trip couldnt havebeen scheduled for any of the294 days this year that thelegislature was reduced to atourist attraction?A cynic might suggest

its the best way to avoidscrutiny and needling fromthe opposition while theresan ongoing crisis in publiceducation. Or it could be thatsome of her old friends andsupporters are now up oncharges under the ElectionsAct.Whatever the case, wed

much rather she be front andcentre.

MLA recall campaigns unlikely to succeed

Theres no doubt thatemotions are runninghigh in the teacherscontract dispute, so it isperhaps not surprising that allkinds of people are trying towhip up enthusiasm getting recall campaignsorganized against B.C. Liberal MLAs.All I can say is, good luck with that. Since

the recall legislation came into effect in the1990s, there have been 24 applications fora recall campaign filed with Elections B.C.;only a handful got off the ground, and allfailed miserably (one was withdrawn afterthe MLA in question quit).The bar for recalling an MLA is rightly

set very high. For a recall petition to succeedand force a by-election, 40 per cent of theregistered voters in the riding in questionmust sign the petition within 60 days.In a number of B.C.s ridings, the number

of signatures required actually exceeds

the number of people whoactually voted, in total, in thelast provincial election.On social media (Twitter

and Facebook), manyteachers are talking about

launching a recall campaign againstEducation Minister Peter Fassbender in hisriding of Surrey-Fleetwood.For such a campaign to succeed,

14,226 people in his riding must sign apetition within two months. To put that inperspective, slightly less than 18,000 peoplein total even voted in Surrey-Fleetwoodin the last election (including 8,200 forFassbender).This means that about 80 per cent of

those who voted last time would have tosign the petition, or that thousands of peoplewho didnt vote before would have to beconvinced to participate in an electoralprocess that they refused to partake in

previously.There is little evidence (yet) that the

general public is as up in arms over thedispute as the teachers understandablyare. There are no doubt a lot of angry andfrustrated parents out there, but only abouthalf of those who live in Fassbenders ridinglikely even have children in the schoolsystem, so why should they be expected tosign a petition booting him from office enmasse?Others have suggested a recall campaign

against Premier Christy Clark herself in herriding of Westside-Kelowna. There, more than18,000 people would have to sign a recallpetition for it to go forward, which meansalmost every single person who voted in herby-election victory would have to sign it.And I cant see many of her near-

12,000 supporters (those who voted forher last time) siding with the BC TeachersFederation over having a premier as their

MLA.All this talk of recall campaigns

suggests, again, that many BCTF memberscommunicate in an echo chamber, wherethe only thing they hear is each other. Theaverage person wants schools to be open, butthey dont necessarily support the BCTF oneverything.As I suggested in last weeks column,

much of the public is (rightly or wrongly)of the a pox on both your houses viewwhen it comes to the teachers dispute, whichdoesnt translate into booting MLAs fromoffice because the teachers union is furious.In the end, a recall campaign arising from

that dispute has about as much a chance ofsucceeding as does one of BCTF presidentJim Ikers suggestions: raising taxes to payfor a new teachers contract. In other words,no chance.Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for

THE SPEAKER AS PRESIDING OFFICER - The election of a Speaker is thefirst item of business for a new parliament and takes place on the first sittingday after each provincial general election or when a Speaker resigns, retiresor dies. Once elected, the Speaker must remain neutral at all times and canonly vote to break a tie.

The Speaker is responsible for ensuring that all MLAs are treated fairly andimpartially. One of the Speakers most difficult tasks is balancing the right ofthe majority to conduct business with the right of the minority to be heard.

It is the Speakers job to interpret and enforce the Standing Orders theHouse rules of parliamentary procedures, which are established to ensurethat debates in the House are carried out properly and that all MLAs have theopportunity to participate.

To assist the Speaker in maintaining order in the House, MLAs cannotparticipate in the debate until formally recognized by the Speaker. Oncerecognized, MLAs must direct their speeches or questions to the Speaker, notto each other. Any MLA who disobeys the rules or makes unparliamentaryremarks can be disciplined by the Speaker.

OTHER DUTIES - Although the Speaker is neutral and avoids taking publicpositions on political matters, the Speaker continues to serve as an MLA. TheSpeaker represents his or her constituents and can make recommendationsto government outside of the House. The Speaker also represents theLegislative Assembly in all relations with external organizations andindividuals.

In addition to procedural and representative duties, the Speaker is thehead of the Legislative Assembly administration and chairs the LegislativeAssembly Management Committee, an internal all-party committee thatoversees financial and administrative policies for the Legislative Assembly.

There have been 914 individuals duly elected since British Columbia enteredinto Confederation in 1871. I am the 689th member of the LegislativeAssembly to sign the Parliamentary Roll. It is a privilege to serve as Speakerof the 40th Parliament.

LETTERS

Mountain out of amole hill dog park

The Editor,With the teachers job action continuing and the

schools held in abeyance, the students can do nothingbut kill time in anticipation for the school year tocommence after an entire week of no education.

Even though I believe the teachers are indeedadvocating this interminable strike for the sake ofstudents, one cant help but wonder how they valuethe learners rights for education when it has beenappropriated from them due to the walkout.

I consider education as both a right and anobligation for students. Its not acceptable to takeit away from them. Delaying the school year forsuch a cause seems to defeat the whole purpose ofsupporting the students.

However, as many parents have feared, it hasbecome quite evident that this job action will notcome to an end until the teachers obtain what theydemand.

If the strike continues to be unresolved and theteachers stay out, it is the students who will suffermost, deprived of the education they should beacquiring.

The Editor,Re: Howling mad at dog parks. Letter, Aug. 28.After my third stroll around South Arm Park I still had

not spied the off leash dog park, so I asked a lady with adog where it was. She informed me I had passed it andwalked me back to where it is.On seeing this area, I was incredulous that there is such abig fuss over such a small area that is completely out of theway of other activities. There are soccer fields, rugby fields,baseball/softball diamonds and acre after acre of grassyareas, enough to satisfy anybodys desire for exercise andhaving fun.Then I remembered who the main protestor was, the same

person who had a petition to prevent basketball courts inthe park. The park and its users seem to have survive thatoutrage, and I am sure they will survive this latest one also.By gathering the names for her protest, Ms. Eve Rollet de

Darantes has placed herself well and truly in the pantheonof Bananas build-absolutely-nothing-anywhere-near-anyone types.Over the years, I have enjoyed the park and the dogs, and

I consider it to be there for everyones use. I give plauditsto city hall for getting this correct, but I wonder why thisenclosure is so small that large dogs cannot get a real work.

Alan HallidayRichmond

The Editor,After reading yourWednesday, Sept. 10 paper, I find myself

quite dismayed by the seeming lack of objectivity in theeditorial section. Out of the three letters discussing the teacherstrike, all three are pro-teacher. I find this to be blatantly bias,as you do not provide a voice for the pro-government opinion.This decreases the legitimacy of your paper, in that if the

pro-teacher side is truly in the right, then that side of thedebate should be able to stand next to a pro-governmentopinion and come across as the clear winner. As such, I feelthat you need to rectify the situation to make your paper lessobviously biased.

STRIKE

Delaying schooldefeats the cause

The freedom of the great outdoors: LynnSpences smile glows as she talks about itsability to inspire the flicks of her paintbrush,unbridled by the sterility of a studio, as sheprepares to unleash swaths of watercolours acrossthe paper perched on an easel before her nearBritannia Heritage Shipyard.

As a child I just loved painting and drawing. Icould just let myself and my imagination go,says the 73-year-old grandmother on an idyllic,late summer morning in Steveston. I just loved tocreate something.

In the background, a parade of fishing boats bobalong the river, a cool breeze rustles the still-greenleaves in the trees overhead, and the dappledsunlight creates shadows that scurry acrossboardwalks planks.

Its a perfect example of the benefits of en pleinair, a French expression meaning in the open airwhich is particularly used to describe the act ofpainting outdoors.Its a scene that will be played out in 38 uniquesites from Britannia Heritage Shipyard toGarry Point Park on Sept. 20 as the fifth annualSteveston Grand Prix of Art gets underway with itsthree-hour limit for competitors to paint a scenechosen for them by lottery, have it framed and thenjudged.

For Spence, the event is not only an opportunity

to revel in the masterful surroundings of thehistoric waterfront, but be witness to the youthfulendeavour of her two granddaughters who havejoined her on three of the competitions over theyears.

They just get on with it, Spence said, describingthe uninhibited approach sisters, Klara, 14, andAllison Marsh, 12, take to the event which, forsome artists, can be a crucible for their creativepowers. Its great to see the girls paint. They dontlack any confidence at all. Its a joyful feeling allaround for us.

Ive never really taken any art classes, and shestaught me a whole lot of new skills, said Klara.Its nice to learn from a person who you know

well,Its easier, Allison added.

The event is also a way of re-visiting Spencesyouth growing up in Vancouver where she tookto painting the streetscapes of her Kerrisdaleneighbourhood.

I chose the shops as subjects because they wereright outside my windows, she said.Later, shed graduate to landscapes in and aroundthe Lower Mainland, including the picturesquelocations in Steveston which serve as the perfectbackdrop to the Steveston Grand Prix of Art, saidorganizer Mark Glavina, who runs Phoenix ArtWorkshop on Chatham Street.

The history, the scenery, being right on the mouthof one of the largest estuaries in North America,what more could you ask for? said Glavina, whobrought the idea to Steveston after competing in anumber of en plein air painting events in QualicumBeach on Vancouver Island.

A lot of people in Qualicum had suggested westart it up here in hopes that at some point thiscould be the finale of a circuit of events that wouldcrown an overall winner, Glavina said.

Discussions have been held with groups in othercommunities including Ladner, Langley and SouthSurrey, and by as early as next year, there might besuch a series in place.

While artists will be priming their brushesfor a three-hour sprint to the finishline during this years edition of theSteveston Grand Prix of Art, photographers will bebusy clicking away chronicling the event.

Its a new angle to the fifth edition of thecompetition, which will be including a digitalphotography category for the first time.

The event is so unique and cool. It walks thatline of an art exhibit and a sporting event, saidcompetition organizer Mark Glavina. The artistsfeel that excitement of competition and thenervousness of getting a location thats not thatcomfortable. Theres a time limit and distractionsof a performance. And Ive always had in the backof my mind to do something with photography, butwas unsure how to incorporate it.

But after sounding out the Richmond Photo Club,he came up with tasking shooters with compiling

a photo essay of the actual painting competition asit unfolds.

A total of 24 photographers will be included and beunder similar time constraints as their canvas-boudcompatriots, but will be allowed to roam among allof the painting sites scattered across Steveston.

By the end of the competition, the photographerswill need to submit five, unedited digital imagesof what they felt best represented the spirit of theevent, Glavina said.

Thats the challenge, he added.One local photographer who will be serving as ajudge said the event is a wonderful opportunity toshowcase talent.

Im excited that a photo challenge has beenadded this year to the Steveston Grand Prix of Art,said Kerri-Jo Stewart.

Its a fantastic opportunity for local photographersto be challenged and to develop their skill. Wehave some amazing local photographers and Iexpect there to be world-class images created andshowcased during this event.

Images from all competitors in the photography

competition will be projected at the eventsexhibition in the seine loft at Britannia HeritageShipyard.

A winner will be announced Sept. 28, the last dayof the exhibition which is open daily (except onSept. 22) from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

But for now, as the Steveston event approaches,Glavina has been busy organizing for the 100 or sopainters expected to register.While the location is spectacular, the creativeambience palpable, the pressure of a timed formatis not for everyone, he said.

Some of the professional painters tend to shyaway from it. They feel the risks are too great forthem, Glavina said. Plus, some feel its just aplace for amateurs and beginners to go. But weend up with some truly amazing artists every year.

So whats a recipe for success?

My advice for a person to do well here will be toget their heart rate down and focus on whats infront of them, Glavina said. They will be the oneswho will be able to deal with the distractions, thequestions they get from people as they paint.

And are there advantages to painting outdoors?

To me, painting outdoors is more immediate,he said. Art should be a reaction to your subject,and thats not a criticism to people who paintfrom pictures. They are fine if you are recreatingsomething that includes historical details thathave to be exact, but photos can be very flat andstatic, and theres no reason for a painting to bethat way.

Its music to Spences ears as she recounts whatits like to be surrounded by the creative energyproduced by such a large gathering of artists.

Its a wonderful feeling. Most of the artists donthave time to look at the other paintings, but youcan sense all of this creative power.

Also a plus is the opportunity to see the progressher granddaughters make.

They just get started right in and usually finish

before the three hours are up, Spence said. Iusually make three or four little sketches to seewhat format and compositions I like the best. ThenI settle down and start painting.

But its fun to paint with them, watch them workand see them so proud of what theyve been ableto create.

Spence added the experience is beneficial,especially for the youngsters, most of whom havenever entered an art show, and most have neverseen their work framed.

The painting judged as the best will net its creatora $600 prize courtesy of the Richmond ArtistsGuild. Second place comes with a prize of $250from Coast Capital Savings. Once they are judged,works from the event will be displayed for a weekat the seine loft at Britannia Heritage Shipyardwith the public given the chance to cast theirvote in the Peoples Choice award category whichcarries a $250 prize.The works will also be posted

for sale during the exhibition.

Its funny, but my granddaughters were wonderinghow to price their paintings the first year they tookpart, Spence said. They thought the higher theypriced them, the more likely theyd get to keepthem. But someone came along and paid the $50one of them was asking.

While there are prizes and sales associated withthe event, Glavina said the sense of communityit instills, seeing young amateurs and adultspainting side by side, is priceless.

Most of the 100 expected to take part are adultsat this point, in part due to the public school labourdispute blunting efforts to attract young artists.

To register, visit grandprixofart.ca. Cost is $20 foradults, $15 for youth and includes lunch.

Artists are required to bring along all of their ownart supplies and equipment.

You should learnone thing from therecent infamoushacking of celebrityaccounts for nude pictures: apassword, however strong orcomplicated, is not enoughto protect your email, Facebook and Twitteraccounts.The dozens of actresses, musicians and

models whoseApple iCloud and other onlineaccounts were hacked last week all hadpasswords. Yet their most intimate momentswere tossed about online for all to see aftertheir accounts were hacked. Whether by bruteforce calculations or fraud, someone guessedtheir passwords.What could they have done differently?

Security experts advise using somethingcalled two-factor authentication. Its a bitcomplicated to set up and will make youronline life more annoying since any extrasecurity necessarily sacrifices convenience.But it could save you grief.If youre not a celebrity, the chances of

being hacked by an anonymous pranksteror stalker are admittedly tiny. But someoneyou know, an ex-spouse, alienated relative ordisgruntled colleague, might be targeting youonline, especially if they have a good chance

at guessing your passwordsor, just as bad, the securityquestions needed to change yourpasswords. Do you want your extaking over your Twitter accountbecause they know you useyour dogs name as a password?

Probably not.Two-factor support is enabled on a wide

range of online services, including Google,Microsoft, Apple, Twitter and Facebook.In very simple terms, it works by pairingsomething that you know, usually your onlineuser name and password, with somethingthat you possess, often a smartphone, andrequiring that both be present when you login to an online account for the first time on anew computer or device.Lets say you enable two-factor

authentication on your Twitter account. Youdo so by logging into your account, goinginto settings, and giving Twitter the numberof your smartphone. Every time you log intotwitter.com, your phone will receive a textmessage containing a code you will also needto enter to complete the log-in. (Apps alreadyinstalled on your existing devices will workwithout needing an additional code.) Thesame goes for an attempt to log into

TECHNOLOGY

Hackers:How to keep them out

your Twitter account from a new computeror device. Even if your ex guesses yourcanine-based password, they wont be ableto log into your account on their computeror smartphone without having directaccess to the phone linked to your account.(Bonus tip: keep your phone in sight andprotect it with a PIN.)There are tradeoffs. Entering an

additional code texted to you every timeyou log into Twitter on the web can gettedious. After enabling two-factor on aGoogle or Microsoft account, you mightneed to enter a code texted to your phoneeach time you log in with a new machineor device or the first time you log in withyour existing devices. I had to do that evenwith my Xbox 360.You also might find yourself needing

authentication but cant get a confirmationtext because youre not in cellphoneservice range or are travelling abroadand not using your phone to avoid costlyroaming fees.As a way around that, both Google and

Microsoft provide authenticator apps thatyou can install on your phone or tablet.Once paired with your account, the appswill generate a code every 30 seconds asneeded that can be used as authentication.They will work even when offline. Twitterallows you to use its iOS andAndroid appsto provide the same function.

For extra convenience, depending onthe service, you can remove a primarymachine for example, a home PC onlyyou have access to from needing two-factor authentication. Do that when yourethe only person using that computer or ifyou really trust your children. (Final tip:protect your PC with a password or PIN.)Two-factor authentication is not perfect.

It, too, apparently can be hacked, althoughnot as easily as a password. But just asin physical security, the idea is to be adifficult target so that the bad guys go aftereasier prey.The tech sites Lifehacker and

I vividly recall seeing images ofthe Range Rover Evoque, smallcrossover SUV concept, for thevery first time.It was around 2007 and back

then it was labelled the LRXconcept the L standing forLand Rover, and not the moretoney Range Rover brand that hassecured four royal warrants whichsignify British Royaltys penchantfor a particular product.And in the case of the Evoque,

you certainly could not fault thoseRoyals, because what startedout as one of those lofty conceptdesigns actually changed verylittle when it came to the off-the-production line version at leaston the exterior.Thats not usually the case

as most manufacturers play anelaborate shell game, teasing autofans with a elaborate, let-your-hair-down concept design thatgoes all too conservative once it

reaches the showroom floor.This Evoque concept had sleek,

futuristic lines that tossed asidethe blocky, slab-like, militaristicprofile of previous Landys andRange Rovers.It was not your fathers all-

British, legendary SUV thatlooked more at home painted withzebra stripes.and on safariNo, the Evoque had a gently

sculpted snout with an insetcluster of high-tech headlampsand a tapered roofline that slopedrearward into the C-pillar and analmost zero overhang.Pretty much the same design

theme was present in the Orkneygrey Evoque l I got to test driverecently. While it lacked the high-tech glitz of the concepts interiorthat featured touch screens forjust about everything, a cradle foryour iPhone, and seats that lookedlike they came out of an F-35Lightning jet fighter, it did have asense of style that straddled RangeRovers staid sensibilities while

adding a few links to its Jaguarcousins.The first was a transmission

selector dial that rises from thecentre console when you push theengine start button.The second was an economical

feature I first encountered on thesuper, high performance, JaguarF-Type RS. It was an automaticengine shut off that cut the power and fuel burn when youcame to a full stop. The enginewould spring to life immediatelyafter taking your foot off the brake.This seemed even more responsivein the Evoque than the Jaguar.Another Jagauresque feature

was the Evoques off-the-lineperformance. Now, thats notsomething you consider muchwhen talking about Range Rover,at least until after the RangeRover Sport was introduced, andcertainly not Land Rover.The Evoque had acceleration

most sports cars would deemacceptable thanks to its 2.0 litre,turbo charged engine that winds

out 240 horsepower and 250-pound-feet of torque to all fourwheels.According Range Rovers specs,

you can expect a zero to 100 km/htime of 7.6 seconds, but my testerseemed more capable than that.I was also pleasantly surprised

with the fuel economy numbersthat were true to the combined

city/highway consumption of 8.4litres/100 km that Range Rovertouts.Another nice figure was the

starting price of $47,695.While that can balloon quickly

to the $60,000 range with options,the base cost means I dont needto cough up a royal warrant of myown to get the keys to one.

Evoque remains true to its concept

The Range Rover Evoque cuts a sleek profile that breaks from its familyof slab-like SUVs. Photo submitted

Serving up Cannibal

We will spare you the fate of butcher Frank Miller, whoembarks on a journey across Colorado in 1873 with a groupof miners searching for gold.Hes a little, pessimistic, angry guy who hates the whole

idea of going there but joins along to feel part of the group.Hes a bit of a tough guy, rough around the edges type ofcharacter, explains blossoming local actor Ryan Lino, ofhis role in Cannibal! The Musical.Lino, a recent graduate of Cambie secondary school and

now a student of the Capilano University School of MotionPicture Arts, is presently performing Millers character atthe Vancouver Fringe Festival.Its the 21 year-olds first acting role outside of school.It has definitely been a bit tiring, but every show I

look forward to because you gain that energy backstage. Idont see it as a chore. We have a good mix of people withdifferent theatre backgrounds. Our age range is 15-28.Its great to be around those people, especially the olderones, gaining a lot of experience. The production companydoes a good job catering to peoples strengths, said Lino,who credits his high school teachers for allowing him toexpress his artistic skills in the drama program, as well asextracurricular groups such as the improv club.Cannibal! The Musical chronicles prospector Alfred

Packers journey into unchartered lands with fellow miners,as well as his subsequent trial for cannibalism after thingsgo awry.
