Bring on the sun!
I have my summer checklist at the ready. On that list are all the activities and events I hope to soak up in the city this summer. Events like the Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival at Deer Lake Park. This year’s festival is special, with a headlining appearance by k.d. lang. No one who watched could forget the Grammy winner’s performance at the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver.
Look regular contributor Tom Zillich caught up with the Canadian singer at her home in L.A. to share with you her views on that experience and more. Turn to page 12 to read what drives lang to deliver amazing performances night after night.
That’s not all. Starting on page 7 you’ll fi nd our 50 Days of Summer feature. It’s packed with things to see and do around town and in your own neighbourhood that you can add to your own summer checklist. And because summer is the best time to catch up on your reading, we’ve tested the latest e-readers and sourced outdoor furnishings that invite lounging around on a lazy summer’s day.
As always, we bring you the freshest fashions from your favourite neighbourhood boutiques. This season we love stripes, fl orals and beachy brights. Our Summer Style Report starts on page 14. Enjoy!

because I think it’s a lot more soulful, direct and real. I hope it’s a new chapter for me.”
The album was written and recorded by lang and her cohorts with Canada’s summer festivals in mind. As the singer tells it, she feels the festival circuit is where she needs to be at this stage of her career — a return to her roots, somewhat, but also appealing is the more democratic nature of festival shows, with their lower tickets prices and more family-friendly vibe.
As for those outdoor shows, they call for slightly different singing methods. “One tendency is to over-sing or project too hard (on a outdoor stage), but I think I’m old enough to know better now,” she says with a laugh. “We will have our stage legs by the time we hit Burnaby (on Saturday, Aug. 13), so I’m not too worried about any of that. It’s all about preparing the energy and putting it all forward.”l
c o v e r s t o r y
so rural out there anymore, that’s for sure. And I haven’t rode my motorcycle up there in 15 or 20 years. I ride a motorcycle here but not in Vancouver anymore.”
While here on the West Coast, lang can often be found strolling through Stanley Park or hitting the streets of Chinatown, visiting friends in the area. “My favourite restaurants and places to go are kind of low-key and old-school up there,” she says.
In Nashville not long ago, lang set about making the first record made entirely with a band of her own since her pair of albums with the Reclines nearly three decades ago. In the years following that blast of Patsy Cline-inspired twang, she softened her sound and leaned more adult-contemporary, but Sing It Loud echoes those early, more exciting days.
“It touches on the roots, for sure,” lang says of the album. “but it’s definitely an amalgam of all the things I’ve experienced so far. It’s not as derivative or novelty as some of the music of my early years,
n the eve of a summer tour that will bring her to the Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival and other outdoorsy concert venues across Canada, k.d. lang is preparing to Sing it Loud.
It’s the title of a return-to-roots album she recorded in Nashville with her Siss Boom Bang band, a group of A-list musicians familiar with the pre-show regimen that keeps lang’s vocal chords loose, limber and ready to deliver amazing performances night after night.
“It’s all very specific,” lang says of her daily rituals on tour. “It starts the second I wake up with humming — really softly, exercising the vocal chords and waking them up, and I hum all day.”
Hydration is key, meaning no alcohol and salty chips, for example, and plenty of raw fruits and vegetables. Dairy is also a no-no for the singer. “Stretching and a really long shower are important, just staying loose and relaxed, and some meditating. It’s kind of like an athlete preparing for a game.”
Lang had lots of time to prepare for what would be the biggest performance of her life, at the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. Due to security and traffic concerns, event organizers confined her and the other performers to the backstage area, in trailers and other holds, for seven long hours.
“Being in a trailer that long sure gives a person time to think about it and get nervous, for better or worse, and I really was nervous,” lang told Look from her home in Los Angeles.
Turns out, it was for the better, as the Alberta-raised singer’s spine-tingling rendition of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah is widely regarded as the highlight of that February night.
Immediately after, lang flew to New York and, unfortunately for her, didn’t have a chance to experience any more of
the Games in person. “And I was back home when the men’s hockey team won gold — oh my God, that was amazing,” she recalls. “I was on the edge of my seat, on the phone with my mom (who lives in Edmonton).”
For lang, life in L.A. is fairly muted and home-focused, unless you count Buddhist functions and fundraisers as party-starting kind of events. Lang began practising the religion about 10 years ago, although she’d aligned herself with its philosophies years earlier. “It’s working for me, absolutely,” she reveals. “I have a long way to go, because it’s a very deep practice and it’s lifetimes and lifetimes of practicing, but I feel that I’ve definitely found my thing.”
Back in the 1990s, there were sightings of lang riding a motorcycle on rural roads in and around Fort Langley, where she still owns a home. “Sometimes I stray up there, but I’m mostly in L.A., though,” she explains. “Out in Fort Langley, it’s not really a farm, just some property. It’s not

It’s a lighter version of the restaurant group’s popular Cowboy Salad, packed full of the same crunchy goodness and tossed with a light, crisp dressing that is low in fat.

he idea of an outdoor reading room conjures up thoughts of simpler times when on a hot summer afternoon people would sit back on the front porch with fresh squeezed lemonade and a good book.
An al fresco book nook need not be a formal outdoor living space with fireplace, full-size sofas and coffee tables, says Colleen Brome, an interior designer and owner of StyleWorks. Rather, the outdoor reading room can have a more personal, simplistic feel, she says. “There are certain elements that will help create an outdoor reading room.”
The first thing you need is some sort of cover to keep you out of the direct sun, ensuring an easier read by keeping the sun off the pages. This can be an overhang, an umbrella, covered deck, awning or a large tree.
Then there is the comfort element that lets you

on
room to readreally hunker down into a good book. A large old slip-covered chair that you can curl up in or a wicker chair with an ottoman are a couple of seating arrangements Brome likes. Add to these pillows and throws for when the days are cooler.
“You are really creating a more personal space for one or two people to sit and read and enjoy the scents and sounds of summer,” Brome explains. With that in mind, think about scented potted plants like heliotrope, lavender and hosta.
Brome says second-hand or antique stores are a wonderful place to pick up pieces for your reading room, such as an old vintage chair or floor lamp.
Lighting is something to think about as well, as day moves into early evening. “With an outdoor extension cord you may want to swag a wonderful paper light, these fold open like an accordion and come in all kinds of shapes and colours,”>

>Brome says. A great end table large enough to put down an open book and a beverage is a must.
The outdoor carpet is another decor element that has become popular and is sold at many stores in a range of patterns and colours. “The use of an outdoor carpet will allow you to define your space,” says Brome.
Large, colourful baskets are ideal for filling with throws or magazines, anything that you might need so you don’t have to get up and get them. The key here is to have everything within reach so your reading time is restful and uninterrupted.
When Meeru Dhalwala, owner and partner of Vij’s and Rangoli Indian restaurants (with husband Vikram Vij), and author of a number of cookbooks, has time to lull away a few hours to read, she heads for her deck or her front stairs.
“We’ve got huge beech trees in the front and, in the summer time, the combination of the heat, the light wind and the sun peaking through the leaves of the tall trees just turns me on,” quips Dhalwala. “I like my back deck in the mornings when it’s sunny, but a bit too chilly to sit on my front steps.”
Dhalwala admits her favourite spot to read is actually her back steps. “I get so lost in reading that I don’t even realize that I’m hunching over and my legs are all twisted while sitting on my steps,” she says.
Meanwhile, gone are the days of outdoor furniture made of stiff fabrics and hard wooden design.
Ginger Jar Furniture store manager Glynis Niskin likes a line of outdoor furniture by Denmark’s Cane-line, which makes lounges and chaises which are especially cosy and perfect for curling into with a good summer read.
Couple the oversized loungers and chaises with big cushions and you can create the perfect backdrop for your reading space. The added bonus is that they are virtually maintenance free and can withstand the harsh sun and downpours. “All the line has UV protection, and they are colourfast and water repellent so you can hose them down easily,” adds Niskin. “And yet they are so beautiful, you could actually have these pieces in your home.”
Swings, too, can be perfect for lounging in while reading a book.
In anticipation of those balmy summer days, make a promise to yourself to steal away a bit of “me time” with your favourite read and an icy cold lemonade and head to your own private outdoor oasis. l
Simple curtains outdoors add romance and define a quiet corner
within a larger yard or deck.

and feature a full range of dental services, from mercury-free restorative care, tooth whitening and laser procedures, periodontal surgery and
maintenance, veneers, implants and digital X-rays. Dr. Liebenberg is also one of a few dentists that uses
microscopic technology in all of his procedures.
There are two approaches to oral care; the fi rst and most common approach, is waiting for the condition of your

Clinic takes your care one step further by providing a program of proactive comprehensive dental care.
Comprehensive Dental CareAre you waiting for things to fall apart?
Dentistry is a science and long
term treatment outcomes are
generally predictable, providing
certain parameters are controlled.
Dr. Liebenberg has been offering
proactive comprehensive dental
healthcare for more than 25 years
and his expertise allows him
to anticipate the state of your
teeth as you age. This forecast is
based on your current oral health
and the choices you make with
regards to future dental care.
If you are curious about
the concept of proactive
comprehensive dental care, and
the impact it can have on your
long-term health, contact us
to schedule a consultation and
experience the difference.
