Vauxhall workers wait for Peugeot buyout
Representatives from four car companies will gather in the French capital today to announce one of the most significant deals in the recent history of European car making.
The meeting will be hosted by the French giant PSA, which owns Peugeot and Citroen, at is headquarters in Avenue de la Grande Arm there with the French bosses will be senior management from General Motors, Opel and Vauxhall, three companies that are about to be divided from each other.
Once the papers are signed and the handshakes exchanged, Opel and Vauxhall will become part of PSA which will, at a stroke, become the second biggest carmaker in Europe.
It will take over Opel factories across Europe, notably in Germany, and also inherit Vauxhall's two big plants in Britain.
And General Motors (GM) will have got rid of the companies that have been costing it billions in recent years. Both sides, you suspect, will think they've played their hand well.
But for 4,500 Vauxhall workers in Britain, this will be an announcement that brings a slew of questions over the future.
The company has two big plants in this country in Ellesmere Port, where the Astra is made, and in Luton, home of the Vivaro van and both have contracts to continue production for years to come.
Under the current agreements, the Astra would be built replica birkin handbags until at least 2021 while the Vivaro's production run is scheduled to go on until 2025.
The natural question for every Vauxhall worker to ask is: "What happens next?"
A week ago, PSA boss Carlos Tavares met with Len McCluskey, the leader of the Unite union, to offer some calming words.
Mr Tavares gave no public comment on the meeting, but Mr McCluskey said he had received "assurances that current production commitments would be met".
Later, the Business Secretary Greg Clark said he had found Mr Tavares "heartening" and was also told that "commitments to the plants would be honoured".
This deal has only been in the public eye for a matter of weeks, but industry insiders have told Sky News that it has been considered for years, and actively pursued for around 12 months.
Ever since PSA and GM started an active alliance in 2012, there have been suggestions of putting that relationship on a more formal footing, but those ideas were interrupted by PSA's sudden, and dramatic, financial crisis.
Only a bailout, funded by the French government and the Chinese company Dongfeng, kept PSA in one piece.
In came Mr Tavares as the new leader with new ideas.
He had a plan to recreate the company with a more aggressive, global outlook. And one of his long standing plans was to buy Opel.
Mr Tavares believes that there is a ceiling to the number of people prepared to buy a French car.
But he is convinced that Opel will bring a German cachet to the company, expanding its reach not just in Europe, but around the world.
The question is whether he is quite fake hermes bag as motivated by owning Vauxhall as he is by buying Opel.
There is probably no easy answer to that if Mr Tavares wants to create global brands, he may feel baffled by a badge such as Vauxhall, which only exists in the UK.
But he will be more impressed, and more interested, in the long standing success of both the Ellesmere Port and Luton plants two of the most efficient car factories in Europe.
It would be a great surprise were he to renege on either of those productions deals, which means he imitiaton hermes bag has years to decide fashion cheap hermes handbags if he wants to maintain a presence in the UK.
As for GM well it won't shed too many tears about this deal.
As well as getting a great pile of money informed sources have told Sky News that PSA will pay around ( for the two companies it will also rid itself of a distant division that has consistently lost money.

Victoria novelist Tricia Dower explores sorrows of marriage
By Tricia DowerThe phrase "The Marriage Plot," if you are a graduate student in English literature, will remind you of Jane Austen and other 18th and 19th century novelists whose stories turned on the misunderstandings and obstacles between a woman and the man who courts her. (Spoiler alert. No matter how fierce the misunderstandings or daunting the obstacles, the marriage is usually represented as the happy ending of these tales.) Austen may be the quintessential mistress of the marriage plot, and is certainly one of its most accomplished and witty champions.
"The marriage plot" is a term of art in literary criticism that refers to the many tales of middle class courtship and its discontents that filled bookshelves and reading tables during the long 19th century, when the novel was as much a central figure in mass culture as Netflix or HBO are now.
But since the rise of second wave feminism in the middle of the 20th century, another body of literature has emerged which could also be gathered under the rubric of "The Marriage Plot." The "plot" in this group of novels and polemics is conspiratorial, not narrative, and it references the many ways that marriage under patriarchy is a rigged game designed to hold women and children under the clammy, often clumsy and always oppressive dominance of husbands and fathers.
Some of the most powerful and eloquent Canadian novelists of the 20th and 21st century belong to this tradition, including Margaret Atwood, Margaret Lawrence and Ethel Wilson.
This impressive new book is the second volume in a planned trilogy that began with Dower's first novel, Stony River, in 2008. That book, in turn, elaborates and extends one of the short stories from her first book length publication, the story collection Silent Girl.
Dower, who came to fiction in mid life after an early retirement from a corporate career, is clearly at work here on a complex weave of interconnected narrative that follows her protagonist, Linda Wise from a childhood in New Jersey through a coming of age narrative that strips away the '50s illusions of untroubled suburban life to reveal some of the horrors beneath the surface, including a young woman held as a sex slave in a neighbour's house, a knife wielding attacker and the lurid local gossip that blames and shames the victims. But Dower, with a keen eye for period detail, especially clothing and pop music, and a gift for creating believable characters with distinctive voices, insists on the human particularity of her characters.
Although her characters illustrate some of the iconic moments experienced by an American generation, including the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, draft resistance, emerging feminism and all the bewildering and thrilling chaos of the '60s, they are never simply vehicles for abstract politics or cultural commentary. They are fully realized characters who evoke genuine empathy in the reader.
In the trilogy's imitiaton hermes bag next instalment, Becoming Lin, the protagonist experiences a disillusioning marriage to an idealistic young husband who turns out to be more dedicated to the freedom of distant others than that of his own wife.
Like so many women of her generation, Linda Wise soon begins to understand the constraints imposed by sexism (a term that does not appear in the book itself) at home, at work and in the church, and begins to fight back
Moving, well crafted and thoughtful, Becoming Lin is a novel of ideas and of politics in the very best sense. Dower shows us the tectonic shifts that undergird a culture in transition while respecting and bringing to life the fine grain human details of the characters living out their own poignant stories on that shifting ground.
By the end of the novel, Linda Wise has become Lin, and is well on her way to an adult, autonomous identity, the one thing the culture surrounding her was designed to make impossible. She has begun to come to terms with her difficult past and has discovered the healing powers of female friendship. And all of this is accomplished without any of the slogan mongering and cardboard characters that mar too many earnest attempts at political fiction.
Readers who enjoyed Dower's earlier work will welcome this latest offering, and first time readers are in for a genuine, pleasurable discovery.

Vernon ethics advisor says city misled him about ad
Former state Atty. Gen. John K. Van de Kamp says he thought he was being interviewed (Los Angeles Times )
A prominent attorney who was hired by Vernon to do an independent audit of its scandal tainted City Hall criticized city officials for misleading him into cooperating with a promotional ad he thought was a newspaper story.
The ads, which appeared in several newspapers this week, show two photos of former state Atty. Gen. John K. Van de Kamp and include an interview in which he discusses the report he was commissioned to write about the industrial city south of downtown Los Angeles.
Van de Kamp said the city arranged for him to be interviewed by a reporter. But officials did not tell him it was for a large, full color advertisement touting the virtues of the embattled city. He said he didn't know about the ad until he saw it in Pasadena Star News on Thursday morning.
"I'm not here toflak for the imitation hermes belt on sale city," Van de Kamp said. "We're out here trying to do a straightforward, objective job. So that format is a problem for me."
He said he was planning to talk about the issue Monday with City Administrator Mark Whitworth, who asked him to talk to the reporter.
"I'm going to tell him I felt that they did not give me the full picture when I was asked about doing an interview," said Van de Kamp, adding that he thought it was for "straight article" by the chain of newspapers that owns the Star News. The ads also ran in the Long Beach Press Telegram and the Daily News of Los brown hermes belt replica Angeles.
The advertisement features a smiling Van de Kamp overlooking a downtown Los Angeles vista. There is a question and answer segment as well as a section, in larger type, praising Vernon's economic value to the region, which Van de Kamp described as "a plum piece for Vernon."
Van de Kamp's involvement as an independent ethics advisor is a centerpiece of Vernon's campaign to stave off a bill by Assemblyman John Prez (D Los Angeles) to disincorporate the city. Perez has accused the largely industrial city, which has fewer than 100 residents, of being a fiefdom run for the economic benefit of a small cadre of officials. Vernon's former city administrator is currently facing public corruption charges. Five years ago, prosecutors filed public corruption charges against the longtime mayor and another city administrator.
Along with Van de Kamp, who was also the fake hermes mens belt Los Angeles County district attorney, the city has hired Robert Stern, former general counsel of the California Fair Political fake hermes brown belt whosale Practices Commission. They are being paid $550 and $450 an hour respectively by the city.
Fred MacFarlane, Vernon's media consultant, called the advertisements a mistake. He said that he had suggested Van de Kamp as a subject for an advertisement to representatives of the Los Angeles Newspaper Group publications. Vernon has purchased a series of advertisements from the group, some of which have already been published.
"I never should have suggested Mr. Van de Kamp, plain and simple. I cost my client, and did damage to Mr. Van de Kamp's reputation for having done so," MacFarlane said, adding that he planned to apologize.
He said that Van de Kamp and other attorneys completing the ethics review were working independently from city officials.
"We've dealt with Mr. Van de Kamp at an arm's length distance to ensure that his opinions aren't influenced by the city in any way," MacFarlane said. In an interview Friday, Barrera said that he never identified himself as a reporter to Van De Kamp, and that he assumed that everything had been explained to him prior to the call. "The miscommunication certainly wasn't on my end," he said.
Afterward, Van de Kamp said he mentioned the interview during a conference call with his team of Vernon ethics advisors. One of them, Cynthia Kurtz president and chief executive officer of the San Gabriel Valley Economic Partnership said that she noticed Vernon had advertising contracts with the newspaper chain.
The next day, he saw the ad, which took up nearly two full pages.
"I thought, 'Good grief,' " he said. "I saw the print and thought, 'That doesn't look like a regular article.' "
Van de Kamp said he is not reconsidering his work for the city. He said he expected some bumps in the road, adding that he feels Whitworth really wants to "do the right thing" as far as making positive changes in Vernon.

video shoots for feminist
In most parts of the pop landscape, female artists routinely capitalize on the mainstream obsession with sex and sexuality. Performers like Beyonc, Nicki Minaj, Katie Perry, hermes brown belt imitation and Lana del Rey all use sex, and the sexualization of the female body, as a selling point. All of them of course take crap for it; they often accused of being only talentless bodies rather than musicians, or of damaging women, or of being immoral. The fact that pop music has to be sexualizedlimits their options and robs them of respect. But, at least as long as they conform to particular beauty standards, it doesn stop them from performing.
Country music, though, is different. While still reticent by the standards of a Nicki Minaj, perhaps, bands like Florida Georgia Line stock their videos with wall to wall gyrating women in bikinis and cut off shorts, but that obsession with female bodies hasn translated into opportunities (however limited) for female artists. But in country, the anonymous video honeys in the cut off shorts are window dressing. In that video, a trio of scantily clad guys pour water over themselves and eat strawberries in slow motion, gender swapping and mocking standard bro country tropes. The song hit number one on the country fake hermes mens belt charts a rare success these days for female performers. Miranda Lambert seems to have been watching; her new single Red Wagon (written by Audra Mae) is also, arguably, a response to bro country. But where Maddie and Tae engaged in explicit parody, Lambert video is more complicated and more ambivalent.
Maddie and Tae are out to show how stupid it is to treat people as objects; they criticizing the sexism and the cheesy sexuality of bro country tropes. Lambert thinks the tropes are funny, too but she also wants to embrace them as a way to be sexy and sexual herself.
The plot of Red Wagon involves Lambert pulling into a motel off the dusty interstate, but the real point is to watch her strut about in various outfits, including (inevitably) cut off shorts and a very red vintage swimsuit. Lambert enjoys being a sexual object in the video, Hermes replica belt paris teasingly withholding and manipulating her various viewers, on screen and at home. can ride in my little red wagon / the front seat broken and the axle draggin she coos as she bats her eyes flirtatiously at the desk clerk in order to get him to bring her foofy little lap dog into the hotel.
But while she enjoys being the bro country object, she also the bro country objectifier. The steamiest moment in the video is when Lambert passes a maid in the hallway. Breathing Ahhhh! in a Donna Summers vein, she scopes the other woman out and is blatantly scoped out in return. Women in videos are not just objects of male desire, but objects of female desire as well. And if that the case, then women are not just objects, but are also objectifiers; not just the looked at and sung about, but also the singers looking. Once we established that, Lambert can head out to the pool, where she and a shirtless, ab tastic pool boy get to exchange significant glances, too.
The Vegas rock music, complete with a mimed air guitar solo, harks back to Van Halen lines like, just tryin to slow this rollin stone, but I onto you babe, rival David Lee Roth in their lusty vaudeville insouciance (albeit with more of a twang.) play guitar and I go on the road and I do all the shit you wanna do, Lambert proclaims in a quasi spoken rap. Women can be sexual objects and stars and express sexual desire all at the same time in hip hop and rock, and Lambert determined to do it all in country as well. ain my fault when I walkin jaws drop except, of course, she careful to let you know that it is.
For all her swagger, though, Lambert distaff take on bro country continues to show some inevitable signs of strain. After passing Lambert, the maid (played by a woman of color) heads into a room to clean, boogieing sensually and occasionally checking herself out in the mirror. There no twerking, sure, but there is enough rump shaking to suggest that Lambert is well aware of the connection between bro country brand of objectification and its precedents in hip hop. To get purchase as an objectifier, Lambert has to have that woman of color show up to be an object. Bros can just show up and enjoy the sights, but Lambert has to leverage race and class in order to give herself the same privilege (after all, the woman playing the maid is, as an actor on this video shoot, Lambert employee in real life, too).
Bro country artists enjoy their polyamorous videos with little evidence of guilt; the more girls, the better. But at Lambert video end, she walks away wearing a wide belt emblazoned with Shelton reminding the pool boy, and all you video watchers, that she the wife of country star Blake Shelton, and that you can look but not touch. For all the flirtation, Lambert still wants you to know that her sexuality is carefully circumscribed.
Maybe at some point Lambert will do her own take on her idol Beyonc with some explicit window steaming marital sex. For the moment, though, it clear why Lambert is the only woman (other than Taylor Swift, who fled Nashville for New York and the pop world) who can put singles on the country chart with any consistency. Red Wagon is sexy, smart and audacious. In its reticences and negotiations, though, it also a reminder that country, more than other pop genres, continues to be uncomfortable with women expressing desire. As long as that the case, country is going to be a male dominated genre, even if, as Lambert shows, women can, when given the chance, do bro country style hermes men belt replica objectification better than the guys ever could.

Once we established that, Lambert can head out to the pool, where she and a shirtless, ab tastic pool boy get to exchange significant glances, too.
The Vegas rock music, complete with a mimed air guitar solo, harks back to Van Halen lines like, just tryin to slow this rollin stone, but I onto you babe, rival David Lee Roth in their lusty vaudeville insouciance (albeit with more of a twang.) play guitar and I go on the road and I do all the shit you wanna do, Lambert proclaims in a quasi spoken rap. Women can be sexual objects and stars and express sexual desire all at the same time in hip hop and rock, and Lambert determined to do it all in country as well. ain my fault when I walkin jaws drop except, of course, she careful to let you know that it is.
For all her swagger, though, Lambert distaff take on bro country continues to show some inevitable signs of strain. After passing Lambert, the maid (played by a woman of color) heads into a room to clean, boogieing sensually and occasionally checking herself out in the mirror. There no twerking, sure, but there is enough rump shaking to suggest that Lambert is well aware of the connection between bro country brand of objectification and its precedents in hip hop. To get purchase as an objectifier, Lambert has to have that woman of color show up to be an object. Bros can just show up and enjoy the sights, but Lambert has to leverage race and class in order to give herself the same privilege (after all, the woman playing the maid is, as an actor on this video shoot, Lambert employee in real life, too).
Bro country artists enjoy their polyamorous videos with little evidence of guilt; the more girls, the better. But at Lambert video end, she walks away wearing a wide belt emblazoned with Shelton reminding the pool boy, and all you video watchers, that she the wife of country star Blake Shelton, and that you can look but not touch. For all the flirtation, Lambert still wants you to know that her sexuality is carefully circumscribed.
Maybe at some point Lambert will do her own take on her idol Beyonc with some explicit window steaming marital sex. For the moment, though, it clear why Lambert is the only woman (other than Taylor Swift, who fled Nashville for New York and the pop world) who can put singles on the country chart with any consistency. Red Wagon is sexy, smart and audacious. In its reticences and negotiations, though, it also a reminder that country, more than other pop genres, continues to be uncomfortable with women expressing desire. As long as that the case, country is going to be a male dominated genre, even if, as Lambert shows, women can, when given the chance, do bro country style hermes men belt replica objectification better than the guys ever could.

Victor Pasmore
Known first for his very lyrical and poetic landscapes and figure pictures, his conversion to abstract art in 1948 was one of the most dramatic events in post war British art and, to begin with, caused great dismay to many fashion cheap hermes handbags of his admirers; but he went on to become a major figure in the international abstract movement. Characteristic of all his work was a natural gift for lyrical expression on the one hand and a tendency to theorise about the nature and purpose of painting on the other.
He was born in Chelsham, Surrey in 1908, the son of a distinguished doctor, and began to show exceptional talent for painting while still a pupil at Harrow (experimenting at that time with a form of Impressionism). However, the sudden death of his father in 1927 obliged him to earn his own living, and on leaving school he worked for over ten years as a clerk in the Public Health Department at LCC County Hall, and was only able to paint in his spare time. He attended evening classes at the Central School of Arts and Crafts, visited the Tate and exhibitions in dealers' galleries, and began to familiarise himself with 20th century art, especially the work of Braque, Picasso, Matisse and Bonnard, sometimes even painting with reproductions of their works spread out on the floor around him. He became friendly with a number of young painters, including William Coldstream and Claude Rogers, and in 1937 collaborated with Coldstream and Rogers in opening a School of Drawing and Painting first in Fitzroy Street and then in the Euston Road which became known as the Euston Road School.
Having become dissatisfied with his own attempts at a sort of Fauvism, he joined with Coldstream to pioneer a return to naturalism, and the pupils were taught to paint from the model without recourse to stylisation. Sickert, Degas, Cezanne (but not the late Cezanne) and Bonnard were the recommended exemplars. Then in 1938 the patronage of Sir Kenneth Clark enabled him to give up his job at County Hall, and devote his whole time to painting and teaching.
The Euston Road School closed soon after the outbreak of war, and in 1940 Pasmore married Wendy Blood, herself a painter. She served as model for a number of pictures of this period, which in their delicacy and sense of dreamy reverie reflect the happiness of their life together. After a brief spell in the Army in 1941 42, he suddenly deserted and went home to paint. He was put in prison and only released through the intervention of Coldstream and Sir Kenneth Clark. Out of prison, out of the Army, and living at Chiswick by the Thames and a little later at nearby Hammersmith Terrace, he embarked on a series of views of the river, somewhat in the spirit of Whistler and Turner.
While reading the writings of the great Post Impressionist painters such as Cezanne, Gauguin and Van Gogh, he was interested to note that some of the ideas they expressed were far in advance of any of their paintings ("Colouristic painting is entering a musical phase", wrote Gauguin, for instance), and decided to follow up the implications of these ideas. His later Hammersmith paintings the view of Thames side gardens in mist or under snow, the figure pictures and still lives were made as a systematic exploration of Post Impressionism from Cezanne to Seurat including shifting viewpoints and the use of pointillist dots. These experiments reached their peak after his move to Blackheath in 1947, when he began to introduce a few shapes which were completely abstract and subject nature to arbitrary patterning and stylisation.
Feeling that he had reached a dead end and that his paintings were becoming neither one thing nor the other, he decided in 1948 to make a fresh start with abstract art, and to explore all its possibilities in a replica hermes handbags outlet completely scientific way, finding out what happened when one started with a square or a spiral and so on. He read the writings of Kandinsky, Mondrian, Arp and the other pioneers of abstract art, but was entirely uninfluenced by the post war Parisian and American abstract movements, which were still imitiaton hermes bag unknown in Britain at the time. His example was followed by a small group of artists who were pupils or friends of his, such as Kenneth Martin, Adrian Heath, Terry Frost and Anthony Hill. Some of these artists were later to become, like him, the nucleus of a British Constructivist movement.
Pasmore's earliest abstract paintings were very painterly and (except for the spiral compositions) rich and glowing in colour, and in some works the square and spiral motifs were still deliberately used to evoke an impression of landscape with a horizon line. However, before long this illusionistic treatment of space began to disturb him, and in 1951, the same year as his spiral mural on the outside wall of the Regatta Restaurant at the Festival of Britain, he decided to give up painting entirely, at any rate for the time being, and concentrate on making reliefs. The earliest of these were made out of painted plywood and had a painterly, hand made character, but he soon went on to make ones which projected both forwards and to the sides, and which incorporated sheets of transparent perspex: works with the impersonal finish and precision of machine production.
One of the effects of this development was that it brought his works into close relation with modern architecture. In 1955, soon after starting to teach at Newcastle (as Master of Painting at King's College, Durham University, from 1954 to 1961), he was appointed consultant architectural designer to nearby Peterlee, to collaborate with two young architects on the design of the south west area of the New Town. Their work there and even the town plans replica birkin handbags bears the strong imprint of Pasmore and is related to his paintings and reliefs. In its elegance of design, human scale, and integration of buildings with the landscape, it still ranks as one of the most successful architectural developments of the period.
He began to make a few paintings again towards the end of the 1950s, experimenting at first with different types of "basic" form in a rather bare, austere way, but did not become fully involved with painting again until about 1964 65 (the year of his large retrospective at the Tate). It was only after his purchase of a house and studio in Malta in 1966 67 that his paintings became fully liberated once more, in the glowing Mediterranean light. Working with ever increasing freedom, pouring and spraying paint, using a range of gorgeous colours, adding black lines and marks of an almost oriental refinement, he recaptured all the lyricism of his early period. And he continued working at painting and prints, right up to the time of his death.
Pasmore was a man of great elegance and charm, who could also be extremely obstinate. But without an element of cussedness it is hardly likely he could have achieved so much.

VanDusen Garden hits panic button after Level 3 water restrictions
Gardeners at VanDusen Botanical Garden are scrambling to keep treasured plants alive.
Metro Vancouver's Stage 3 water restrictions have sent the garden's 17 gardeners into panic mode as they drag out hoses and watering cans and try to keep rare and valuable plants alive while watering by hand.
"This is going to be a big problem for us," says Howard Normann, director of the garden. "In the past, we had the option of using soaker hoses and sprinklers. We have never seen anything like this before.
"This drought has the potential of doing lasting damage to the garden and many other gardens in the park board system," he said.
The same rules apply to the garden as apply to any homeowner in the Lower Mainland: Established trees and shrubs can be watered, but it must be done using a hand held device.
"It means that we are pulling out hoses and make a list of what needs to be watered first," said Normann.
Gardeners have been pulled off other duties, such replica birkin handbags as weeding and pond maintenance, and been assigned to watering.
"Some of the plants in our collection are already showing signs of stress, but overall most things are in good condition. If this drought continues, however, that will change," Normann says.
"We are focusing on looking after the most vulnerable and rarest plants. It is unfortunate if we lose the vegetable garden, but that is the least of our worries right now."
Normann says when watering restrictions were at Stage 2, he was already looking at what would need to be done if Stage 3 was announced.
"I am now looking at Stage 4. But I am hoping we get some break from this in the next two weeks. We need at least two or three days of good rainfall to get us out of this."
Normann says VanDusen may have to start looking at drilling for its own water supply, and also will have to look at other ways of recycling water. Botanical Garden is also continuing its watering vigil and carrying out the responsible watering practices it has been observing throughout the drought.
However, Doug Justice, assistant director and curator of collections, said the garden is technically exempt from the water restrictions since the collection comes under the university status.
"That doesn't mean we are being irresponsible with water. It irritates me to see people washing their cars and still replica hermes handbags outlet using sprinklers to water lawns. We are being extremely responsible and watering only the most vulnerable plants."
That includes the garden's prize rhododendron collection, since rhodos are shallow rooted. Landscape Nursery Association, said landscapers are putting all their planting projects on hold and have turned their attention to keeping established trees and shrubs alive.
"What is crucial now is to watch for plants that are under stress and watering specifically to keep valued specimens alive.
"People can still water their boulevard trees by hand, and it is important to keep these trees alive because they represent such a huge investment for the future."On the Blood reserve, progress in the fight against opioid addiction and deathsSTAND OFF In the wake of four more fentanyl overdose deaths month, Blood Tribe in Stand Off on Tuesday to update band and government on the opioid crisis.

vengeance dominate
During the past 40 years, one theme has been a constant the influence and the role of the Hells Angels.
Much of what's happened over the past four decades hasn't been so much over turf there's more than enough money to be made by everyone selling drugs and performing criminal favours in Manitoba than it is personal grudges.
Both gangs coexisted peacefully for about a decade both had their own clubhouses in St. Vital under the watchful eye of city police. In October 1973, police shot and wounded a Los Brovos biker in a gunfight that started when police raided the classic hermes bags fake gang's clubhouse.
In June 1975, three Spartans gang members including its co founder, Graham Sylvester were charged with the rape of a 16 year old girl. They were later convicted.
Seven years later, the Los Brovos and the Spartans merged the Spartans were led by Darwin Sylvester, Graham's younger brother.
The reason for merger was to present a united gang the Hells Angels could take over. With the merger, the Spartans ceased to exist.
The merger unravelled in late 1983 when two Los Brovos were arrested for the rape of 27 year old woman. The crime made headlines after a deputy police chief was brought in to mediate between the bikers and the victim's angry brothers and father. A van the rape victim's sister owned was found rigged with dynamite.
Sylvester and his fellow former Spartans wanted the accused kicked out of the merged gang, feeling they were bad for publicity and brought too much heat. The Los Brovos refused. Sylvester left the gang.
In July 1984, former Los Brovos member Ron Gagnon was slain in his Alexander Avenue yard by a shotgun blast. He was wearing a Silent Riders T shirt. Later, police learned Gagnon was one of the founding members of the new gang, along with Darwin Sylvester. Gagnon's death remains unsolved.
In September 1984, the Silent Riders' Washington Avenue clubhouse was damaged in an early morning dynamite attack. No how much is a hermes handbag arrests.
In November 1984, four bombs exploded at property connected to fake hermes leather handbags the Los Brovos. Damaged are the Los Brovos' city clubhouse and a cottage outside Winnipeg, a company owned by a member's father and a member's home. No arrests.
In May 1985, Los Brovos member Stanley Potter was shot and wounded. Police affidavits showed they suspected
the Silent Riders.
In August 1985, a North Winnipeg home and garage connected to two Los Brovos members were torched. No arrests.
In September 1985, David Gagnon, brother of Ron Gagnon, was stabbed to death in a fight with a Los Brovos member. The slaying was later determined to be one of self defence.
The gang war continued with police raids, dozens of arrests and bikers from both sides being sent to jail including Darwin Sylvester.
In 1986, the gang war officially ended in the back lot of a West End autobody shop when the remaining Silent Riders burned their gang colours in front of the Los Brovos.
In 1990, Darwin Sylvester was released from jail and returned to gang life, renewing connections with the Hells Angels in Eastern Canada, specifically gang kingpin Walter Stadnik, in a bid to woo the gang to Winnipeg.
On New Year's Eve 1991 at the Continental Motor Inn on McPhillips Street, Sylvester and a bunch of other ex cons, independent bikers and longtime local hangers on resurrected the Spartans.
Less than two months later, Darwin's younger brother, Kevin, a fellow Spartan, got into a gunfight with a Los Brovos striker at a McPhillips Street nightclub. Both Kevin Sylvester and Darren Hunter were hit Hunter once, Sylvester seven times. Two other people were shot. Hunter later received a 12 year prison sentence despite testifying the shooting was in self defence. Charges against Sylvester were dropped.
The incident kicked off another round of drive by shootings, including the targeting of Hells Angels associate Donny Magnussen, Stadnik's bodyguard, outside a Winnipeg hotel, the shooting up of the Spartans' clubhouse and the gunshot wounding of a Los Brovos member in River Heights.
In late 1994, Stadnik flew to Winnipeg and demanded a truce between the imitiaton hermes bags two gangs. He set up a third motorcycle gang, the Red Liners, of independent bikers and known drug dealers. The thinking was that by throwing a third gang into the mix, the pot would really start to boil. Whoever rose to the top would become a Hells Angel.
In May 1996, longtime Los Brovos member David Boyko was murdered in Halifax while attending a Hells Angels event. It's believed Magnussen shot Boyko to death to move up the Hells Angels' ranks.
In May 1998, Magnussen's bound, decomposed body was pulled out of the St. Lawrence Seaway. He had been beaten to death, wrapped in plastic and dumped in the seaway.
By 1998, it was clear Stadnik and the Hells Angels were going to put down roots in Winnipeg. Those plans did not include Darwin Sylvester. Ever the plotter, Sylvester started talking to Hells Angels rival Rock Machine in Quebec about a possible alliance.
In late May, Sylvester left a Regina halfway house after serving a year long jail sentence for extortion and returned to Winnipeg, expecting to head up the Spartans once again. On May 29, a week after leaving Regina, he vanished, shortly after leaving the Spartans clubhouse to go to a meeting. It's rumoured his body was chopped up for animal feed. One of the men who's thought to have participated in the killing, Robert Rosmus, was himself executed in January 1999, shot in the head and left face up in the middle of an access road near a construction site east of the Perimeter Highway.
The Hells Angels established a Manitoba chapter in the summer of the next year, absorbing the Los Brovos. It's believed six of the original members were still in the gang, supported by the addition of new blood.
