33 14 Canuck fans hang hopes on home-ice advantage K&K’s penultimate Canucks haiku Wily coyote

Stanley Cup Game 7 goes tonight! Megan Stewart Staff writer

Thousands of Canuck fans, including Cherissa Mercer (standing), took in Game 6 on Georgia Street. They left photo Dan Toulgoet disappointed but optimistic about Game 7, which takes place at home.

The Canucks delayed the gratiﬁcation of their fans Monday with a road loss in Boston, forcing Game 7 tonight at Rogers Arena. Although the Canucks allowed a pathetic 17 goals in three games at TD Garden in Boston, both teams earned an equal number of wins in their own arena and home-ice advantage has so far been maintained through the series. If the trend holds, Game 7 may be a positive omen for the home team Canucks. This is the ﬁrst detail Canuck fans are clinging to today following a 5-2 defeat at the hands of the Bruins and their spectacular goaltender Tim Thomas. The

second source of hope for an anxious fanbase is that Henrik and Daniel Sedin have somehow been kept to only four points in five games, leading supporters to believe the Canucks will be the better team should the twins get on the board in a big way. The belief that has fuelled Canucks Nation this entire 40th anniversary year is anything but extinguished. Fans are prepared to have their faith tested. Take Callum Brice. The 21-year-old took time off work to come downtown but by the end of the first period and a 4-0 Canucks deficit, he’d called it a night. Brice wasn’t throwing in the towel on the series, however.

Vision members rally around mayor as fall election looms More than 96 per cent of party faithful support Gregor Robertson Mike Howell Staff writer

Vision Vancouver members voted overwhelmingly in favour Sunday of having Mayor Gregor Robertson continue to lead the party into the November civic election. The leadership review conduct-

ed at Simon Fraser University’s Harbour Centre campus saw 96.3 per cent of Vision members give Robertson their full support. “OK, who are the 3.7 per cent?” joked Robertson after the results were announced at a party Sunday night at The Waldorf Hotel on East Hastings.

It was the ﬁrst time in Vision’s history that it held a leadership review. Vision’s executive didn’t immediately release how many people voted, but turnout was believed to be low for the 2,000member party. Much like the NPA’s nomination meeting June 4, there were no races within Vision for

any of the seats on council, school board or park board. The NPA’s Suzanne Anton was acclaimed as her party’s mayoral candidate and Vision’s leadership review was more a formality than a test for Robertson. “It’s a great, great honour to be approved again to run again as Vision’s candidate for mayor,”

Robertson told a crowd of about 100 people, which included most of Vision’s slate for the 2011 vote. “I don’t take this for granted.” Robertson became Vision’s mayoral candidate in 2008 after defeating Coun. Raymond Louie in the party’s ﬁrst-ever mayoral contest. See VISION on page 4

Vision city councillor challenged mayor back in 2008

Continued from page 1 Louie said he didn’t challenge Robertson again in 2011 because he was happy with the mayor’s leadership and how the party worked together as a team. Before Robertson joined Vision, two of the party’s main founders, Larry Campbell and Jim Green, touted Louie as one of the next mayors of the city. “The party needed to test itself and to have that decision conﬁrmed by all of our membership,” recalled Louie as to why he ran for Vision’s leadership in 2008. “Gregor came from the provincial legislature

and had less municipal experience, although he was an MLA [for Vancouver-Fairview] in the city of Vancouver. But I felt that after two terms on council, I had what it takes to lead the city.” Louie said he and Robertson have had their differences on issues such as shifting the tax burden from business operators to homeowners—Louie was against—and allowing mixed martial arts events in the city; Louie also voted against. “But that doesn’t mean there should be a change in leadership,” said Louie, noting

he and the mayor have voted together on the majority of initiatives introduced by council, including the separated bike lanes and quashing an expansion of gambling.

Vision Coun. Kerry Jang supported Louie in Vision’s 2008 mayoral contest. Louie and Jang went to high school together and Jang noted there were pressures in the Chinese

community for him to join Louie’s team. “It was a tough time for me to choose one and I almost stayed out of it,” Jang recalled. But Jang said he, too, is happy with Robertson’s style of governing, particularly his delegating of responsibilities to councillors. Jang is Vision’s point man on homelessness and mental health issues, Louie is the party’s ﬁnance guy and Coun. Andrea Reimer is the lead on the green agenda. “He understands that we all have different perspectives

and something different to add to the conversation,” Jang said. “So he’s very fair that way and I really respect that.” Robertson told the Courier after his speech that, if reelected with a majority, the party will devote more time to ﬁnd ways to make the city more affordable for people. “I’m really concerned that affordability is out of reach for too many people now, particularly the younger generation, seniors and people on low incomes,” the mayor said. “This city is very difﬁcult to live in.” mhowell@vancourier.com Twitter: @Howellings

Bars do brisk business as fans congregate for puck drop

Continued from page 1 Brice sat on the pavement outside a Gastown restaurant, draped in a Canucks ﬂag, his head hanging low between his knees, his language slurred. “We’re not done yet. I thought we had it in Game 6.” The Cup was on the line, but it wasn’t lost. Early in the afternoon, the apprehension in Vancouver almost had a pulse. Terry Le and Nick Dhaliwal strode north along

Granville to cross the bridge into downtown. Jerseys draped over their shoulders as the temperature warmed mid-day, they agreed there was only one destination they wanted to celebrate. Across False Creek, Kathy Korble, a manager at GSport on Granville Street, was turning people away as they lined up three hours before the puck dropped. “We are at capacity,” she told 30 people waiting out-

side as she took the names of those hopeful to nevertheless get inside. Down a block at Two Parrots, Lisa O’Connor declined entry to revellers who spotted the nearempty bar and thought they’d scored a table. A sign by the front door said otherwise. “Go Canucks Go. Full for game. Sorry.” “Were trying to keep our regulars happy by reserving their spot,” said O’Connor. “They’re pretty religious

about their hockey games.” Shawn Price didn’t secure a seat but found space to stand next to at a table at the Met Pub. He warned the people around him: “Just to let you know, if the Canucks win, I’ll weep like a baby.” Fans stood to sing the anthem and a full hour before the game started, they chanted, “We want the Cup, we want the Cup!” “I can’t believe this is about to

happen,” said Price, “that it could happen tonight.” It didn’t happen Monday night. But it could happen tonight, right here at home. See photo gallery at

Rumour mongers

In writing this, I know I’m going to invite more letters, phone calls and emails. Such is the biz. But here we go… Yes, I’m writing about that downtown separated bike lane on Hornby Street again. Here’s why. If businesses are going bankrupt on Hornby Street because of the lane—and not because of the HST, poor economy or maybe a bad business plan—don’t you want to know about that? I certainly do. I have to say, though, I’m a bit skeptical that businesses are actually ﬁling for bankruptcy solely because of the bike lane. Maybe I’m wrong. In interviews I conducted last month with operators along Hornby, I discovered some businesses’ bottom line haven’t been affected at all. A hotel manager even told me business increased since the Hornby lane opened late last year—not because more cyclists were staying at the hotel, but because of the increase in conven-

According to NPA Coun. Suzanne Anton and NPA council candidate Bill McCreery, the Hornby Street bike lane is bankrupting businesses. Really? photo Dan Toulgoet tions and more Canadians travelling to Vancouver. So why am I writing about bankruptcy? It’s because I’ve heard the word twice recently in connection with the bike lane. Both times, members of the NPA, the very municipal party challenging the bike lane-loving Vision Vancouver in the November civic vote, uttered bankruptcy. NPA Coun. Suzanne Anton— who, by the way, voted for the lanes—was ﬁrst off the mark

when she announced her run for mayor last month at the Opus Hotel in Yaletown. “We can’t do bike lanes that bankrupt businesses,” she said. “So if the businesses are actually going bankrupt out there on Hornby Street… then the lanes need to be adjusted or removed.” In questioning Anton about her claim, she couldn’t provide names or numbers of businesses going bankrupt. Her response was that “anecdotally, I hear very gloomy stories.”

Then it was NPA council candidate Bill McCreery’s turn. He delivered a speech at the NPA’s June 4 nomination meeting in which he criticized Vision on a number of fronts, including bike lanes. “They’ve ramrodded bike lanes downtown and are bankrupting businesses in the process,” said McCreery, who, like Anton, didn’t provide any names or number of businesses going bankrupt. So if anybody had some facts on this claim of bankruptcy, I thought

it would be Charles Gauthier, executive director of the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association. So, Charles, are businesses along Hornby going bankrupt because of the separated bike lanes? “I don’t know if I can validate that statement or not,” Gauthier said. “I’m not privy to that information. I’ve heard there is at least one business that is claiming that they’ve closed their doors as a result [of the bike lanes], but that’s third hand.” That’s why, he said, a study being led by the Vancouver Economic Development Commission on the separated bike lanes and potential impacts on businesses is important to the continuing debate. “We want to ensure we get to the root of why someone’s sales may be down rather than just attributing it solely to the bike lanes—there could be other factors,” Gauthier said. But, he added, he’s heard from at least a dozen businesses that say “listen, this is hurting me.” I’m tracking down the owner of the one business that may or may not have gone bankrupt from the bike lanes. I’ll be very interested to hear how it was solely the bike lanes that killed the business and not the HST, poor economy, competition or a bad business plan. Stay tuned. mhowell@vancourier.com Twitter: @Howellings

Few surprises emerged at Vision Vancouver’s nomination race last weekend. School board incumbents Patti Bacchus, chairperson of the board, Mike Lombardi and Ken Clement all won spots on the party’s ﬁve-person slate for next November’s civic election. NPA-turned-Vision candidate Cherie Payne also secured a place. The only unexpected news was that University of B.C. student Ryan Clayton pulled his name from the nomination race at the last minute—for health reasons—and was replaced by community activist Rob Wynen who had planned to run for a park board nomination. Clayton announced his bid for a Vision nomination in March. The 24year-old gamer has been active on Twitter and is a strong proponent of the value of technology in schools, including voicing support for incorporating video game use in education. Earlier this year, he said he wanted to educate students about positive and negative aspects of video games, as well as to get students at risk of dropping out interested in learning through video games. He also pitched the possibility of creating apprenticeship opportunities

with video game companies. Clayton, a lifeguard and co-chair of the city’s LGBTQ advisory committee, has been active in politics since age 16. On Monday, he conﬁrmed his decision was health related, remarking it was “life’s not-so-subtle way of telling now is not my time to run in an election,” but he didn’t specify details. I suspect he’ll enter politics at a later date.

Ryan Clayton won’t run for a Vision school board nod. photo Dan Toulgoet Wynen, meanwhile, is a longtime activist whose name has appeared in many Courier stories over the years. He sought a Vision park board nomination in 2008, but failed. A couple of months ago, he was approached to run in Vision’s nomination race for school board, but he opted for park board until plans changed last week. “It was very, very quick. It’s deﬁnitely not something I had antici-

pated… but I think I can do a lot for school board,” he said. Wynen, who lives on the East Side, works for the recreation commission in North Vancouver and has a degree in kinesiology. He founded the West End Residents Association. Pet causes include cycling, pedestrian safety and park redesign. His son attends Lord Nelson elementary where Wynen has served on the parent advisory council. “[Vision Vancouver] knows the work that I’ve done in the past with school board. I’ve been a PAC chair for a number of years. I’m right now chair of the bicycle advisory committee and I’ve been working with [COPE] trustee Allan [Wong] and a number of engineers on creating safe cycling routes to school and walking routes,” he said. “Making that connection between cycling, being responsible for the environment and also getting our kids outside and healthy—that’s what I’m hoping to bring to the table.” Vision and COPE reached an agreement in principle in late April to run a common slate of candidates in next November’s civic election. Vision will run ﬁve candidates for the ninemember school board, and COPE will run four. COPE’s nomination date is generally in September. The NPA’s school board candidates include incumbent and long-serving trustee Ken Denike, as well as Sophia Woo, Stacy Robertson and Fraser Ballantyne. noconnor@vancourier.com Twitter: @Naoibh

Stop Wynen

I wrote in this column recently that Rob Wynen was planning to seek a Vision Vancouver nomination for park board. But it seems there’s been a change in plans and the longtime activist now plans to run for a school board seat. Wynen told me that with a young child in Grade 4, his passions are divided between school board and park board issues. He adds when Vision Vancouver approached him about running for the school board instead of park board, it was an easy decision. “A couple of months ago I did consider running for the school board,” says Wynen, who chairs the parent advisory committee at his child’s school. “But I really like the work I’ve been doing with the commissioners, so I was torn. But now I can run full tilt for school board.” Vision Vancouver held its

Park plans

The park board is renewing its five-year Strategic Plan and is looking for input. I know Courier readers have strong opinions when it comes to the future of our parks and community centres, so now is the time to be heard. The Strategic Plan meetings take place June 22 at Hillcrest Centre, June 23 at Marpole-Oakridge Community Centre, June 28 at Creekside Community Centre and June 29 at Strathcona. All meetings are from 7 to 9 p.m. For those who can’t attend

a meeting, there is an online survey available on the park board’s website. Meanwhile, the June 13 park board meeting has been postponed until June 27, partly due to a light agenda, but mostly because it conflicted with Game 6 of the historic Vancouver Canucks/Boston Bruins match up for the Stanley Cup Final.

Higher plane

I’m hoping some Courier readers can help me out on this one. We’ve lived near Oakridge mall for more than six years and recently I’ve noticed loud prop planes flying overhead during early morning and evening— basically commuter hours. I contacted YVR and Transport Canada and both say there has been no recent change in flight paths, but again on Saturday morning there was a low-flying, loud plane overhead at 7:45 a.m. If any readers have noticed this noise as new, please send me an email so I’ll know I’m not imagining things. YVR has a helpful website through which you can track flights and check out information, such as the type of aircraft flying over head and its noise levels, at www331.webtrak-lochard.com/webtrak/yvr3. sthomas@vancourier.com Twitter @sthomas10

nomination meeting on the weekend and named its slate, but since my colleagues Mike Howell and Naoibh O’Connor are covering city council and school board respectively, I’m only including information about the park board slate in this column. Running for park board in the November civic election from Vision Vancouver are incumbents Aaron Jasper, Constance Barnes, Sarah Blyth and newcomer Trevor Loke. Loke, a former Green Party member, is the development and sustainability officer at the Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation. Loke takes the place of Vision commissioner Raj Hundal, whom it’s suspected will seek an NDP nomination in the next provincial election.

WEB POLL NATION Go to www.vancourier.com to vote Have you stopped renting DVDs from local video stores and switched to online video sources? Last week’s poll question: Are you leaving work, school or other commitments early to watch the Stanley Cup series? Yes—34.29 % No—65.71 % This is not a scientific poll.

Have faith in Canucks... and Bette Midler

With so much written about the Vancouver Canucks in the media recently, I had planned to just leave it alone. It’s not as if I’m a sports writer. Actually, I take that back. I did win gold for sports writing at the Ma Murray B.C. and Yukon Community Newspaper Awards a couple of years ago—my apologies to true sports writers everywhere. But in my everyday life I’m a news reporter, so decided I would leave this one to the experts. I also thought, what’s left to say? That was until I checked out Facebook Monday night after the Canucks devastating loss to Boston on a night I was sure we were going to ﬁnally win the Stanley Cup. I was feeling kind of low, as were hundreds of thousands of fans across the city and province, and though I tried to push the thoughts from my head, my unwavering conﬁdence in goaltender Roberto Luongo wobbled just slightly. But then I read a Facebook post from drag queen extraordinaire Joan-E, also known in real life as Robert Kaiser, who has made no bones about the fact he has little interest in hockey, but instead prefers the civility of tennis. Not long after the game and in response to some negative comments about the Canucks, Joan-E wrote on Facebook, “To all of you who were all ‘Yay, yay, YAY!’ and now are all ‘Boo, boo, BOO,’ I say this: I’m not a hockey fan (NOT ONE BIT) but I am a Bette Midler fan, and if I can cheer wholeheartedly through Jinxed, Isn’t She Great and Bette, the

sandrathomas sitcom, then you people can still bloody well keep yay, yay yaying for your blessed Canucks!! LOL.” To which I responded “Amen,” and immediately straightened out my white playoff towel in anticipation of tonight’s Game 7. It’s been quite the ride, this run up to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, and it has reminded me over and over again of the 1994 series when we came within one goal (and a goal post) of the elusive championship. That was the year I jumped on the Canucks’ bandwagon and never jumped off. There’s been lots written about how this run for the Cup has brought people together, which in my case I know to be true. In the six years we’ve lived in our home, I have never shared so much as a word with the youth who lives

next door. I have uttered words about him, especially when he and his buddies, who all drive much, much nicer cars than I do, park in front of our place and party to the wee hours. But these days as his posse of young friends in hot, mufﬂer-lacking cars pull up to watch the games next door, they wave, say hello and yell “Go Canucks Go” to me, and I know in my heart, “We are all Canucks.” (They have one game to go before I call the cops the next time they wake me up at 3 a.m.) Canucks conversation has also come from more unexpected sources, including with my sister Pat, with whom I have never discussed hockey in my life until the past couple of weeks. My partner has been more than amused listening to me on the phone with my sister after most games, as we discuss the highs and lows of the Canucks and what they should do to improve their game. It’s the fans who jump off and on the bandwagon who frustrate me, especially when it comes to Luongo. I believe the reason Luongo plays so well is because he has such emotion and passion for hockey. It’s those human emotions that also make him vulnerable to failure. But like Bette Midler, Luongo has to forget about any past bad decisions, strap on those high heels and move on. And bring home the Stanley Cup tonight. Go Canucks Go! sthomas@vancourier.com Twitter @sthomas10

opinion GREEN GRANTS AIMED AT ‘EDUCATION’

Mayor and city council help fund cycling allies When you’re fighting for the planet, all bets are off. The future lays in ruin, toxified and slimed, unless the good guys win. The stakes are too high to worry about appearances. Last night, city council voted on 32 “green” and “urban agriculture” grants totalling $210,000, stepping closer to Mayor Gregor Robertson’s often-stated goal of making “Vancouver the greenest city on Earth.” While the vote took place after the Courier’s print deadline, it was a fait accompli. Only a holy decree from David Suzuki could derail Robertson’s green grant plan. The cash will fund a list of little-known entities mainly involved in environmental education. For example: Something called the Child and Nature Alliance Society will receive $2,000 to stage a “conference on the physical and mental health benefits of time spent in nature.” The Environmental Youth Alliance (yes, that Environmental Youth Alliance) will receive $20,000 for two projects: $5,000 to “explore small-scale grain production” on lawns and $15,000 to explore the “health and nutrition aspect of urban agriculture.” Other grants ($5,000 to the Jewish Family Services Agency, $3,000 to the Vancouver Fruit Tree Project Society) push the boundaries of taxpayer tolerance. But the largest grant, $15,500 to the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition (VACC), may cross the line. For some, bicycles are the chariots of the green revolution. Founded in 1998, the VACC is the mothership for cycling activists. Despite marginal success lobbying government and influencing media coverage, the VACC came of age after the 2008 election of Mayor Robertson, a fanatical suit-wearing cyclist, and his Vision council majority. They now had one of their own in the mayor’s chair. Results soon followed. Three bike lanes, costing millions, were installed on the Burrard Street Bridge, Hornby Street and Dunsmuir. Bike infrastructure (traffic circles, signage) sprung up around the city. Robertson’s bike scheme drew angry opposition from business owners and disgruntled motorists, polarizing the electorate as a November election looms. Meanwhile, the VACC helps drive Robertson’s agenda, often praising the mayor and parroting Vision talking points. For example, in March 2010, grey-bearded VACC board member Arno Schortinghuis joined Robertson for the grand opening of the Dunsmuir Viaduct bike lane. As a soft rain fell, Schortinghuis said the lane was “one small step for a city, one giant leap toward Vancouver becoming the greenest city on

letter of the week

markhasiuk Earth.” Most recently, last month Robertson and VACC members joined forces for a press conference at the BG Urban Cafe to promote the Hornby bike lane. It’s a cozy relationship. Mutually beneficial. According to Erin O’Melinn, VACC executive director, the VACC relies on donations and grants. So far this year, it has received $12,250 from the city (not including the $15,500 green grant) and $23,100 in 2010. The cash, says O’Melinn, pays for programs such as Bike to Work Week and Bike to School courses for kids. But like any marriage, tension is inevitable. Enhanced profiles equal increased influence. In July 2009, Robertson floated a $45-million plan for a cyclist/pedestrian bridge over False Creek. According to the plan, the bridge would run parallel to the Burrard Street Bridge, connecting Vanier Park with Sunset Beach. Schortinghuis publicly panned the plan, calling it a “non-starter” with commuter cyclists. While VACC influence remains open to interpretation, to my knowledge, the mayor never again mentioned the bridge plan in public. However, despite the odd disagreement, Robertson and the VACC remain politically tight. Which leads back to the $15,500 green grant earmarked for the VACC. Turns out, the VACC plans to funnel the $15,500 to SHIFT Urban Cargo Delivery, a downtown delivery business that uses tricycles to transport goods. Why? Because SHIFT wants the money. But only non-profit societies such as the VACC are eligible for city grants. Incidentally, SHIFT was co-founded by Graham Anderson, a VACC board member and contributor to the Vancouver Observer, an online newspaper founded by Linda Solomon, sister of Joel Solomon, a wealthy investor and Robertson’s main moneyman. As an Observer columnist, Anderson has praised Robertson’s cycling policies. While unseemly, it’s all legal. But don’t worry about it. In the apocalyptic battle for the future of planet Earth, where the rest of us require reeducation, Anderson—like Robertson—is one of the good guys. mhasiuk@vancourier.com Twitter: @MarkHasiuk

At least one reader concurs with commentator Mike Milbury’s “Thelma and Louise” description of Daniel (left) and Hank Sedin. photo Dan Toulgoet To the editor: Re: “Jock & Jill: Man up, Milbury, and lay off the Sedins,” June 10. Until they stop diving and acting like classless, disrespectful little children while embarrassing the sport they are obviously so good at and start playing like they can, they will forever be known as little girls playing a man’s sport and never achieve the respect Jock & Jill calls for.

Call that sexist, call it repugnant. But in the sporting world that’s exactly how they are viewed. Life isn’t as perfect as you would like it to be. It’s dirty, racist and classless, and that’s just the First World while it’s pretending to be something far higher than it will ever be. Jason Behm, Burnaby, B.C.

Cycling columnist offers discouraging advice We want To the editor: Courier cycling columnist Jeffrey Hansen-Carlson is not going to convince his friend that cycling is comfortable unless he gives up his dogged insistence that the low head position is comfortable, which is not the case for older people

with osteoarthritis of the neck, etc. Efﬁciency is not everything and the bicycle is so efﬁcient that it allows me to ride well and in comfort in an upright position. With up swept handle bars and full seat height, I can ride all day without my neck straining upward to

see—and without the back strain that goes with the so called “efﬁcient position.” So back off a bit on the best position for you, Jeff, and consider the casual, older rider and you will encourage more riders. Aaron Schneider, Baddeck, N.S.

Judicial reviews benefit lawyers and little else To the editor: I had missed Mark Hasiuk’s column (“Human rights tribunals elevate the frivolous and cheapen the sacrosanct,” June 1) until I read Robyn Durling’s letter (“Human rights tribunal not a ‘kangaroo court,’”) June 10. The story of the complaint brought by Lorna Pardy in September 2007 received considerable media attention before the B.C Human Rights Tribunal ﬁnally issued a lengthy decision (107 pages) and a brief separate summary (two pages) four and a half years later. In Durling’s letter, he alludes to the likelihood that the tribunal’s decision will be challenged in court by judicial review. What is it about this case that warrants all the attention by both the legal system and the public? I suggest, contrary to the message the public is receiving from the press, that the adjudicators charged with upholding the human rights legislation across Canada do not deserve to be singled out and accused of running “kangaroo courts.” Many people

in the legal establishment know that the entire administrative justice regime, consisting now of numerous agencies, is attempting to do the impossible, and they know why. As an experienced self-represented litigant who once prevailed in a judicial review action against another of B.C.’s tribunals, I know that judicial review itself is not a legitimate legal process. If the Pardy case goes to judicial review, a great deal more money is going to be spent. Most of it will be income for lawyers. What can we anticipate learning from a judicial decision about a 107-page tribunal decision? Ms. Pardy and her friend obviously did not enjoy a comedy routine, but I suggest the endless litigation will be remembered as high farce. The legal establishment knows what needs to be done, but a system that provides an alternative to expensive litigation will not serve the legal establishment’s interests. The public already knows the bottom line: it’s all about money. Chris Budgell, Vancouver

“Experienced representation for serious injuries”

Never has the research been clearer about the benefits provided by Insite, the supervised injection site in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Insite prevents drug overdoses, increases uptake into addiction treatment, reduces public drug use, and prevents the transmission of deadly diseases such as HIV. Research by recognized and respected organizations such as the University of Toronto, Simon Fraser University, the University of B.C. and the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS is in agreement. Yet some still try to make fiction fact by dredging up discredited reports that even those most opposed to Insite have long ago abandoned. Case in point: an Insite critique penned by Colin Mangham of the Drug Prevention Network of Canada. His report was published in an online journal, not in a recognized peer-reviewed journal. Remarkably, media reports often fail to note that this was an essay rather than an actual study and that this online “journal” is, in fact, a website operated by the law enforcement lobby group known as the Drug Free America Foundation. Rather than a forum for unbiased research, this website has the stated goal of “creating and strengthening international laws that hold drug users and dealers criminally accountable for their actions” as well as “efforts to oppose policies based on the concept of harm reduction.” Mangham’s “research” was originally paid for by the RCMP and commissioned after the RCMP had already paid for two consultant reports on Insite. Interestingly, while the two earlier reports validated the peer-reviewed research showing that Insite and other supervised injection sites were working, the Mangham paper offers a number of factually incorrect criticisms. Virtually no one is taking the Mangham paper seriously anymore. Even though the RCMP paid for the research, it has since admitted that the report was commissioned to “provide an alternative analysis” to existing research and that the Mangham paper “did not meet conventional academic standards.” Tony Clement, when he was the federal health minister, frequently cited the Mangham report. However, on May 12, 2011, during the Supreme Court of Canada hearing, lawyers representing the federal government admitted they did not have any research indicating that Insite is not working. Even the Harper government’s hand-picked supervised injecting facility “Expert Advisory Committee” rejected the Mangham report as unsuitable for its consideration. Despite the failure of the Mangham report, the Drug Prevention Network of Canada continues to oppose Insite. A lawyer affiliated with the lobby group recently declared that drug overdose deaths in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside had increased since the facility opened.

This claim stands in stark contrast to a recent study published in the medical journal, The Lancet, which showed that overdose deaths around Insite had declined by 35 per cent. How could such a discrepancy exist? In citing data from the B.C. Vital Statistics agency, the Drug Prevention Network of Canada representative lumped all drugrelated deaths together, including many causes of death that bear no relevance to Insite, including suicides and alcohol-related deaths. Conversely, The Lancet study systematically reviewed each recorded death and only considered those from drug overdoses. There is always potential for bias in science, so a range of safeguards exist and were put in place in the case of Insite’s evaluation. For instance, before Insite opened, a provincial Insite steering committee was developed that included senior members of all stakeholder groups, including local law enforcement. This committee agreed that the research methodology and all subsequent findings of the evaluation should be subject to external peer review and published in academic literature prior to dissemination in the public domain. We are unaware of any similar evaluation that has gone to these lengths to ensure scientific rigor and fair interpretation of research results. A scientific journal’s reputation depends on the quality of the research it publishes, which is why academic journal editors solicit external peer-review of research by experts who have the familiarity to be able to critically evaluate a study’s quality. Research is then further critically evaluated by the scientific community at large, when a study is published and subject to international scrutiny. In this context, to imply that Insite research has not been critically appraised is preposterous. Given the public health emergency presented by injection drug use and the Harper government’s aim to close the Insite program, fair media reporting is required. But the few columnists and commentators citing the Drug Prevention Network of Canada’s work make baseless accusations seemingly aimed to entertain and rally the entrenched opponents of Insite rather than enlighten or inform. Because the public may be misled regarding Insite’s success in improving community health and safety, it’s essential to set the record straight and ensure that the facility gets a balanced and rational hearing in the court of public opinion.

Rogers Arena hosted the UFC for the second time last Saturday.

No ‘incidents’ after UFC: police Despite fears of violence on the streets, the Vancouver Police Department reported “no incidents of note” Saturday night connected to a mixed martial arts event at Rogers Arena. Const. Jana McGuinness, a VPD media relations officer, said the department increased its motorcycle and foot patrols around the venue after fight fans spilled into surrounding neighbourhoods. “They didn’t report in any incidents of note,” said McGuinness, noting the VPD also had officers working inside the arena. “There was good dialogue with the police and the community since last year and their concerns were brought forward and we responded with increased patrols.” The Ultimate Fighting Championship of Las Vegas promoted Saturday’s night of fights. It was the company’s second event in Vancouver, having held a sold-out fight card in June 2010. Saturday night’s event was not a sell-out but Sean Bickerton of the Crosstown Residents Association said the atmosphere in the Tinseltown neighbourhood was “very rowdy.” “They mostly seemed to head up to Granville, where I’m sure it was a rambunctious night,” said Bickerton in an email to the Courier Monday. “The sides of buildings and sidewalks reeked of urine around here yesterday though from all of the public micturition after the event. If UFC had paid to provide porta-potties and the extra police as we requested, we wouldn’t have that problem. But thankfully, no violence I’m aware of.” Police Chief Jim Chu requested the UFC pay for extra police but the company said it doesn’t do that in any other cities. The company also wanted evidence that this is

a common practice for major event companies. The Vancouver Canucks, for example, don’t pay for extra police outside the arena. The city has estimated the tab for the Canucks Stanley Cup run, when including the cost of setting up the so-called fan zones and policing costs, at more than $1 million. After last year’s UFC event, two men beat a gay couple that lives in the Tinseltown neighbourhood after questioning one of them for peeing in their doorway. Police arrested two men in Richmond but did not link the beating to the UFC event, although one of the victims said in an interview a few days after the incident that he believed his attackers attended the ﬁghts at Rogers Arena. Police treated the case, which goes to trial in November, as a hate crime. After last year’s event, Chu and arena staff met with community groups to listen to complaints about rowdy drunks and public urination in the neighbourhoods before and after the June 2010 event. Fern Jeffries of the False Creek Residents Association said she took a stroll outside the arena Saturday afternoon and was pleased the arena had increased the number of security guards in the plaza. “It was pretty sedate,” said Jeffries, although she noted a mixed martial arts convention was going on at the same time downtown. “But from our perspective as a community association, we’re pleased that both the arena and the VPD were responsive to our concerns and met with us and ensured that they had plans in place.” Despite the huge crowds attending Canucks games, and those viewing the games on the big screens downtown, Bickerton said, “Canucks fans have been extremely good neighbours.” mhowell@vancourier.com Twitter: @Howellings

BIA board members include Save On Meats, Potluck Café

New Hastings association hopes to build on history Cheryl Rossi Staff writer

City hall was there. Vancouver’s ﬁrst library was there. So were some of the city’s best neon signs. United We Can has created jobs for binners in the area, SOLEfood operates an urban farm, and Potluck Café and Catering has created jobs and served almost 300,000 free meals to local residents. The newly formed Hastings Crossing Business Improvement Association, which is centered on Hastings Street between Richards and Gore, hopes to build on the area’s rich history and social enterprise innovation to beneﬁt businesses and create jobs for people who live in the area. It introduced itself to the community June 7 in the crowded and soon-to-open diner at Save On Meats, which will sell affordable food, host farmers in its basement, run a kitchen and laundry service that employs local residents and put hothouses on its roof. Like other BIAs, Hastings Crossing’s goal is to create a unique brand for the area and ensure it’s welcoming to prospective area business owners and customers. The business association is working with the city, the Vancouver Economic Development Commission and the Board of Trade to track trends in the area, help existing and potential businesses and to form stronger ties with property owners and developers. Hastings Crossing plans to work with the Strathcona BIA to green Hastings. Discussions are underway with the University of B.C. forestry department to establish an urban nursery that could provide jobs to local residents. The BIA also wants to co-host a conference on urban farming with the city and Simon Fraser University. Hastings Crossing will consider the security model that PHS Community Services Society has instituted at Woodward’s,

“I’M VERY EXCITED TO SEE WHAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH… THERE’S A LOT OF CAPACITY TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN IN THIS COMMUNITY.” Wes Regan

said Heather O’Hara, the BIA’s president and chair, and also executive director of Potluck Café and Catering. Residents of the neighbourhood wear security jackets at Woodward’s and capitalize on their relationships with members of the community to solve problems. The Hastings Crossing BIA includes Victory Square, Woodward’s, SFU, Vancouver Community College, Vancouver Film School, the Army and Navy, English as a second language schools, software companies and an array of small businesses. Building Opportunities with Business (BOB) started discussing a BIA for the area in 2008. Wes Regan, executive coordinator of Hastings Crossing, said establishing the association in the complex community within two years bodes well, given it often takes other communities 10 years. BIA board members include representatives of Save On Meats, Potluck Café and Catering, United We Can, Atira Property Management and Thirdi Software. The BIA seeks additional members and is holding a meet and greet June 16 at the Potluck Café, 30 West Hastings St., at 8 a.m. “It’s a really positive time,” said Regan, who used to work for BOB. “I’m very excited to see what we can accomplish… There’s a lot of capacity to make things happen in this community.” crossi@vancourier.com Twitter: @Cheryl_Rossi

PRUNING AND REMOVAL OF HAZARDOUS TREES

Glimpsed beast may be half dog, half coyote hybrid

Cemetery sighting spurs coyote fears

When: June 10, 2011 to August 31, 2011 Time: 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Trees are a signiﬁcant cause of power interruptions. Contact between trees and power lines can also create a severe danger. 2895

Over the next few months we will be pruning and removing trees in the V5Y, V5L and V5T Postal Code area of Vancouver.

The Monster of Mountain View? The Beast of the Graveyard? The Creature from the Cemetery? The Off-leash Dog? The city’s historic Mountain View Cemetery has its share of spooky stories to tell and now it could add to that list the legend of a wild animal—half dog, half beast—lurking among its gravestones. It’s actually suspected the animal could be a half dog, half coyote hybrid, known as coydogs or dogotes in biology circles. Mountain View resident Darnelle Moore spotted what she is convinced is a dog-coyote hybrid one morning last week at about 5:50 a.m. “It came out from some bushes and my ﬁrst thought was, I wonder who owns that dog,” said Moore. “But then I watched it walk just like a coyote with those quick steps they take.” Moore describes the animal as black in some areas similar to a border collie, but with a coyote-shaped body and movement. “I looked for the owner but there was no one around, so I’m sure it was a coyote,” said Moore. Mountain View manager Glen Hodges told the Courier he believes he knows the animal in question. Hodges added he’s not used to seeing coyotes looking so healthy. “We always have coyotes in the cemetery,” says

This coyote was photographed in Mountain View Cemetery in October 2010. photo Dan Toulgoet Hodges. “But this one is really healthy looking, not scrawny like the coyotes we’re used to seeing with that bushy tail. Every time I see it I think someone’s got their dog off leash again, but then I realize it’s that same coyote.” Bryan Jackson, who recently took over as director of the Stanley Park Ecology Society’s Co-existing With Coyotes program from Phil Dubrulle, said there have been suspected cases of hybrid dog/coyotes in Vancouver in the past, but no genetic testing has ever been conducted to conﬁrm the fact. Last month, a hybrid wolf-dog made media headlines after residents on Bowen Island complained it was killing dozens of cats, dogs, geese, sheep and deer since it was ﬁrst seen last December. The wolfdog was killed in May by a professional trapper with a special permit to hunt

it. It’s believed a visitor or resident released the animal, which became known as the “Beast of Bowen,” on the island. According to the provincial Ministry of Environment, it is possible but not common for coyotes and dogs to breed. Once a hybrid is conﬁrmed, it’s no longer considered a wild animal and is dealt with by the municipality, not by provincial conservation ofﬁcers. According to City of Vancouver spokesperson Joseph Li, the city’s animal control shelter has received no direct complaints regarding the coyote, but added there could be calls to 311 that have yet to be reported. Coyote sightings and attacks can be reported and tracked through the Co-existing With Coyotes program at stanleyparkecology.ca. sthomas@vancourier.com Twitter @sthomas10

Concrete art

Students from the UBC School of Architecture and Landscape have made building with concrete into a new Vancouver art form and at the same time, they’ve created an innovative new display at the Vancouver Archives. The exhibit is a series of individual concrete models, drawings and material studies, which will be on display at the City of Vancouver Archives gallery, 1150 Chestnut St., in Vanier Park until Sept. 2. With an empty lot at 177 West Pender St. as their creative canvas, the students were asked to imagine the kind of building they would create for that site. They were encouraged to explore new frontiers for concrete as a building material and as a sculptural medium. Under the direction of the school’s architecture, the students were asked to design and create non-traditional forms of concrete. The winning piece, Cascading Biospheres, is the work of two students (Pat Danielson and Sam Ostrow) from the program’s heavy-studio class. A lifesized portion of their work has been specially cast to be the centerpiece of this exhibit.

Earthquake report updates emergency plans Naoibh O’Connor Staff writer

Vancouver schools are better prepared to handle the aftermath of an earthquake than a few years ago, but more work needs to be done, according to a draft report on earthquake preparedness released last week. A 2008 report, written by Patti Bacchus, who was then the District Parent Advisory Council’s representative on the emergency preparedness planning committee, found significant holes in the board’s emergency planning. It revealed principals were asked not to assign school-based search and rescue teams for the 2007/2008 school year, despite having done so in previous years. Instead, if a disaster traps children inside school buildings, school officials were told to wait outside until fire and rescue officers arrive. In a major earthquake, that could take more than three days. Emergency supplies such as food and water for schools, kept in containers outside school buildings, were also no longer being maintained at recommended levels due to lack of funding. Last week’s draft report updates emergency planning program elements that have been maintained or recently updated since health and safety took over the portfolio. “I had been asking since fall for an update because there has been a lot of work done that hasn’t really been reported out, probably since we’ve been in office,” explained Bacchus, now school board chair and a Vision Vancouver trustee.

“WE NEEDED TO HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE IN TERMS OF EMERGENCY RESPONSE AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL.” Patti Bacchus

At the time of her 2008 report, she said staff indicated they wouldn’t volunteer as emergency responders in the hours following a quake unless they had proper training and equipment. Bacchus maintains the school board should take the responsibility for looking after kids in its care during school hours. “Teams are now trained at most of the schools—I don’t think it’s 100 per cent but it’s a huge improvement over what existed in the past,” Bacchus said. “My concern as a parent, and DPACs concern, was we know we have dozens of high-risk schools… we needed to have a plan in place in terms of emergency response at the school level.” Three hundred and forty-one school staff have volunteered for school emergency response team training and have been provided with two days of training, although teams still need to be recruited and trained at six elementary schools. Elementary schools with teams of one or two volunteers need to be expanded, as do high school teams with less than seven volunteers. Continuous recruitment and training should be maintained to deal with staff transfers and retire-

1.9

ments, according to the report, and annual half-day refreshers are required to keep skills up. In May, CBC reported parents at Henry Hudson elementary school discovered items in its emergency bin were out of date. It contained expired water, food rations that will expire this summer and light sticks that expired in 1998. It had been ﬂooded and some items were water-damaged and mouldy. The VSB report includes plans for new food and water models and addresses the problem of moisture issues caused by what’s known as “container sweat” where water condenses on the inside of the cold metal. Current bins are 17 years old. Many are showing signs of decay and will require replacement although that comes at a cost not currently budgeted. “There are things in the report that are in progress. [Parents] should be pleased to see there has been some real progress and a commitment and resources allocated to being prepared. But there’s no question in so many of our schools that still need to be seismically updated,” Bacchus said. noconnor@vancourier.com Twitter: @Naoibh

An education-focused non-profit is launching an online project called Vancouver Schools at 125 Yearbook to celebrate public schools’ role in civic life. The British Columbia Society for Public Education landed $14,000 from the city’s Vancouver 125 grant program to mount the initiative, but it hopes to double that to cover costs. The project will call attention to the significance and history of the city’s neighbourhoods and raise awareness about First Nations’ heritage and cultural diversity by featuring and exploring what’s happened, and happening, at schools. It’s also designed to drive up student, parent and staff participation in Vancouver 125 celebrations and showcase student work in areas such as visual arts, writing, music, performance and multi media, according to society spokesperson Helesia Luke. The Vancouver School Board has endorsed the project and directed schools to be supportive, although it’s not able to offer financial support. Luke said the website will profile all 109 schools, but not in the way the district already does. “Each school will have a page that they can contribute to,” she explained. “So there’s an interactive piece where the work of the students can be documented, or students can collaborate with their community—there might be an artist-in-residence program. It’s going to be a great repository/archive of the great activities happening in schools that people probably don’t know about.” The society goes live with a shell site mid-July, which won’t be populated yet but will have some information about the project. The campaign will run from mid-September to Dec. 12. The group is also producing a “tool kit” for schools that will go out in September, featuring a list of resources and activities that schools and classes can do to celebrate Vancouver 125. The society’s board had been thinking about creating the project for a couple of years, but the grant made it possible. “As school advocates, we’re always in danger of or there’s a hazard of people thinking that our schools aren’t great places, that people lose faith in our school system,” Luke said. “We’ve also identified that as school budgets have been cut, we’ve lost that ability to tell their stories in a really compelling way and we think we can do better at telling the stories.” The VSB tried to launch a social media campaign called Be A Fan earlier this school year to rally support for public schools, but it never took off. It’s since dismantled its communication department due to budget cuts. Board chair Patti Bacchus called Vancouver Schools at 125 Yearbook a positive initiative and said the district is pleased to collaborate. “It’s a great partnership for us to do some positive publicity around the role of schools in their communities at a time when we have very little staff available to take on these kinds of projects. So it’s a good fit,” she said. “[During the Be a Fan campaign] we had minimal communication staff and presently we have no communication staff and everybody else seems to be doing their job plus someone else’s these days, so anything that isn’t focused on supporting kids in classes directly has been a challenge for us.” noconnor@vancourier.com Twitter: @Naoibh

Thompson Hotel boasts ’60s-style rooms in trendy King West neighbourhood

Toronto adds ﬁve new downtown high-end hotels John Masters Contributing writer

Among the perks of staying at the Thompson is being able to enjoy the view from its rooftop pool. photo John Masters tech companies, restaurants, pubs and cafés. The Thompson’s ’60s-style rooms have ﬂoor-to-ceiling windows and heated Carrera marble underfoot in the bathrooms. The “public” spaces include a 40-seat screening room in the basement and a rooftop bar with a panoramic view of downtown Toronto, but you’ll need a keycard to get the elevator to take you to either.

TORONTO—To kick off the 21st century’s ﬁrst 10 years, Toronto spent hundreds of millions polishing its cultural game: $270-million plus to upgrade and enlarge each of the city’s two premier attractions, the Royal Ontario Museum and the Art Gallery of Ontario; $180 million for a new opera house, the Four Seasons Centre; another $196 million for the Bell Lightbox, home to the Toronto International Film Festival. This decade, the emphasis is on providing more highend downtown accommodation. Half-a-dozen posh new hotels have opened or soon will. First out of the blocks was the Thompson, the smallest of the new arrivals with 102 rooms. The Thompson opened in June 2010 at the corner of Bathurst and Wellington in the newly trendy King West neighbourhood. This old, industrial area, once used by the city’s garment makers, has lately become home to ad agencies,

dential projects. The Trump International Hotel and Tower, 261 rooms in a 60-storey building at the corner of Adelaide and Bay in the city’s financial district, is scheduled to start welcoming customers the first half of 2011. Its largest suite will cover 4,000 square feet. Also in the financial heart is the RitzCarlton, whose 267 rooms in a 53-storey tower opened in February of 2011 on Wellington Street across from the Toronto Symphony’s home, Roy Thomson Hall. The Shangri-la Hotel, whose 200 rooms will be part of a 65-storey skyscraper, is two blocks from the Trump, at Adelaide and University. It’s supposed to be ready sometime in 2012. And finally, further north, is the new Four Seasons Hotel & Residences, 253 rooms in a 55-storey tower at the corner of Bay and Yorkville. No date has been set for its unveiling. Its residential side will include what’s said to be Canada’s most expensive penthouse—$30 million. John Masters is a member of the Meridian Writers’ Group.

Mayor Gregor Robertson summed it up succinctly. “We know that energy prices are going to rise, and people across Vancouver are concerned about affordability. It’s a major issue. By partnering with Vancity, we’re making it easier for homeowners to make upgrades that improve

the efﬁciency of their homes and help them save money on their energy bills. It’s an opportunity to reduce pollution and create local jobs at the same time.” It’s part of Vancouver’s Greenest City goal to reduce overall GHGs by 33 per cent from 2007 levels by 2020. In order to meet that goal, 175,000 tons of ongoing annual GHG reductions will have to come from existing buildings. When

fully rolled out, this program could get them to 90,000 tons and well on the way to sustainable city status. The pilot program will provide financing for energy retrofits for 500 homes in Vancouver. Each eligible home will receive up to $10,000 at a fixed rate of 4.5 per cent (to a maximum of five per cent) for a 10-year term. And you don’t have to navigate the system on your own. An “EcoENERGY” auditor will be there to help you determine which green retrofits will give you the biggest bang for your buck in energy savings. They’ll help you apply for the loan as well as other government incentives, such as the ones offered through LiveSmart (livesmartbc.ca), a program that provides cash rebates for specific home energy retrofits. The proponents of the program are confident that in most cases the energy savings will cover the costs of financing for the homeowners. Projected GHG savings range from three per cent for homes one to five years old and up to 44 per cent for homes more than 50 years old. The pilot has had its share of naysayers who think the project will put taxpayer dollars at risk. From where I sit, it looks as though Vancity has taken care of that. They’ll start by doing streamlined standard credit assessments. If any borrowers default on their loans, the first $500,000 in loan defaults will be covered by the Vancity Community Foundation. In the unlikely event that more than 10 per cent of borrowers default, the city and the foundation will cover the next 20 per cent. Any further loan defaults will be covered by Vancity. With mortgage default rates under one-half of one per cent, it’s a win/win for Vancouver taxpayers. Derek Gent, executive director of the Vancity Community Foundation, says they’re “very proud to be part of this next generation partnership in addressing climate change.” He sees the foundation’s role in ®

the pilot project as “leveraging philanthropic capital, which can be used in concert with Vancity member deposits, with the city playing a key facilitation and support role. This program has a number of stakeholders who will benefit significantly from the greenhouse gas reductions associated with less energy use. Hopefully this will be a sustainable model which can be expanded and replicated beyond the pilot.” As the mayor mentioned, the overall benefits include “green jobs” that will inject new capital into the local building market. If this pilot program delivers as expected, it could be extended to as many as 3,000 additional homes per year within three years. At those levels, the city forecasts an additional $25million infusion into the local green renovation market, creating thousands of new green jobs—highly skilled jobs— that will have a direct impact on the local economy. Low-interest loans, energy savings, reduced GHG emissions and green jobs—this will be a popular program. Almost a third of Vancouver homeowners are already planning an energy efficiency retrofit. And more than half of the homeowners surveyed by the city said they’d be interested in low-interest loans for energy efficiency upgrades. According to the TD Canada Trust Green Home Poll in 2010, 77 per cent of Canadians surveyed said they’d be willing to pay more for a house or condo that includes environmentally friendly features. Of those, 77 per cent say that cost savings on energy bills is a primary motivation. The pilot project is scheduled to start in July. Look for more information at vancouver.ca or call 311.

cycling

Simple cycling tattoo not so simple I want a tattoo of something bike related on my body. But I need help choosing not only exactly of what, but where. I thought my calf; my sister suggested my forehead; a friend suggested another questionable place. I can’t decide. The vision I have for the perfect tattoo is a simple stencil of a bicycle; picture the painted image of a bike that you see in bike lines. It’s about as straightforward as a tattoo could be. Right? Wrong. I’ve been warned that tattoos are for life. What I appreciate most about this sort of advice is that it is not obvious. My more insightful friends say that a tattoo should symbolize something that will never lose meaning in your life. Other than my loved ones, there are two things that I’ll always treasure in my heart and mind: cycling and peanut butter. Don’t doubt that I gave semi-serious consideration to the peanut butter option. Realistically, though, a tattoo of peanut butter may be difﬁcult for the average viewer to interpret. Also, as

+HST

jeffreyhansen-carlson I age and sag, it would be anyone’s guess as to what this peanut butter tattoo would look like. With an ultimatum from my wife, the decision was made for me. A cycling-themed tattoo it would be. With an ounce of clarity, the next bits of uninvited advice from my peers came pouring in. It was told that I should not get my new tattoo done by a drunk in a dank basement. Again, this calibre of advice is always appreciated. I paid a visit to a few tattoo shops; I was impressed with the professionalism and awe-inspiring artistic talent of each of them. The consultations were informative and worth my time. I pitched my bicycle sten-

cil tattoo idea to each tattoo artist with conﬁdence and an assumption that its simplicity would keep things easy, quick, and inexpensive. How hard could it be to scribble a bike on some guy’s body? I turns out that drawing two identical free-hand circles—the wheels—isn’t easy. This would take considerably more preparation, time, and money than I originally thought. Suddenly, my simple bicycle stencil tattoo became a chore for everyone. With the peanut butter tattoo option off the table and the bike stencil tattoo less than easy, I had to get creative. The prospect of a tattoo has excited me for some time. The urge to get a one isn’t going to go away. I will get a tattoo, but of what exactly, and of course, where, are questions that remain. Help. To tide me over until I reach the tipping point and a needle is drilling ink into my body, I’ve settled for a $9 cycling pendant to wear around my neck.

TUMMY TROUBLES

LIVING WITH GLUTEN INTOLERANCE by Brenda Jones contributing writer

WHETHER DINING OUT OR ENJOYING A MEAL AT A FRIEND’S PLACE, PEOPLE WITH GLUTEN INTOLERANCE MUST MAKE SAVVY FOOD CHOICES. PHOTO: STOCK IMAGE.

Celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and colitis are among conditions that cause upset tummies. While Celiac disease is a hypersensitivity to gluten, the protein found in wheat that gives dough its elasticity, those suffering from other digestive problems may also find that eliminating gluten from their diets helps. Gluten intolerance can take many different forms. Common symptoms include cramping, bloating, constipation, gas and other tummy upset after eating gluten, but some people’s reactions can be neurological and include debilitating depression or headaches. In 2009, Vancouver holistic nutritionists Crystal Di Domizio and Rich Ralph founded the Living Gluten-Free Community (LGFC), after Di Domizio was diagnosed with Celiac disease. The couple launched their informative website www. lgfc.ca as a way to “create a supportive

community atmosphere for people who are sensitive to gluten, share resources, and help parents of children with gluten allergies,” said Ralph, who is also a holistic allergist.

“I believe the majority of people have some form of gluten intolerance, but are not in tune enough with their bodies to know,” Ralph added. “It is a very hard protein to digest.” It’s anyone’s guess whether the prevalence of gluten intolerance has grown because of increased awareness or

because gluten is so commonly used in processed foods. Rich suspects that both are responsible and notes that wheat today contains 90 times more gluten than it did 50 years ago. One place where you won’t find any gluten in products is Ed’s Gluten Free Specialty market (www.edsglutenfree.com) at 2827 Arbutus St. Open less than a year, it is a popular destination for those looking for gluten-free products from cookies to pasta to pizza pops. “Anything you can find in a grocery store, you can fine here, gluten-free, except we don’t carry produce,” said coowner Skyler Richter, whose father, Ed, opened the first location in Edmonton after being diagnosed with Celiac disease eight years ago. Vancouver resident Sondi Bruner is all too familiar with scrutinizing food labels to see if products include gluten. She was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease 13 years

ago, but only recently, after speaking with a holistic nutritionist, did she learn that she’s sensitive to gluten. “Now I know how my body reacts to gluten, and I stay away from it,” Bruner said. That didn’t stop her and her husband, who is also sensitive to gluten and dairy, from enjoying a delicious chocolate raspberry cake, created by Sweet Tooth Cakery (www.sweettoothcakery.ca), at their wedding last year. Bruner’s interest in food and nutrition, which started out as a necessity, has grown into a passion. Last year, she launched a blog featuring glutenfree, dairy-free, vegan recipes www.thecopycatcook.wordpress.com, which has received nearly 100,000 page views. “I’ve seen firsthand the power that food can have on our wellbeing,” Bruner said. “I really want to share that with other people and educate them on how they can use food to achieve better health.”

healthwise THE CARE AND MAINTENANCE

OF LOVE by Davidicus Wong, M.D. contributing writer Recently, I wrote that love is a choice. Yet in my office, I spend hours counseling men and women whose partners have told them that they no longer love them. The news is devastating and perplexing, and with a sense of hopelessness, they feel distraught. We often talk of falling in and out of love as if love is something magical and mysterious and out of our control. It’s much like how we think of happiness; some see it as a matter of luck. In my series, A Hundred Days to Happiness (davidicuswong.wordpress.com), I’ve shown how much of our happiness is within our control. In spite of the challenges of life, many have discovered enduring happiness – through intention, attitude and action. Love is a flower that requires daily care, but because it is shared by two, it requires both to stay alive, thrive and bloom. When we begin a relationship, love is in full bloom. Most of us don’t realize what we have to do to keep it that way. We never learned that regular maintenance required. We didn’t get any instruction manual. The principles of cognitive therapy are not only helpful in counseling couples; they can guide us in the preventive and proactive care

of our relationships – before we fall out of love. Our feelings, thoughts and actions interact and influence one another. Our feelings filter how we see one another. Our thoughts influence our emotional reactions. Our behaviour is motivated by both our thoughts and feelings. We interpret the behaviour of others with assumptions that may or may not be accurate, and our interpretations shape how we feel about them. To simplify our lives, we naturally and unconsciously develop assumptions about one another. We develop fairly rigid schema or cognitive frameworks in our minds that are in short simplified ways of thinking about one another. This is helpful in many ways. You don’t have to reintroduce yourself to the person waking up next to you in bed or have a deep conversation with the one sitting across from you at the breakfast table each morning.

SURFACE TENSION

LEARN ABOUT NON-MELANOMA SKIN CANCER compiled by Helen Peterson

Quick Facts

• Those who are fair-skinned have a higher risk of developing AK. • Additional risk-factors include: being over the age of 40, exposure to high levels of UV radiation, having a weak immune system. • For more information visit www.canadianskin.ca.

06156800

Over the years, we’ve been taught to be ‘sun-safe.’ We are supposed to wear hats, put on sunscreen and conduct regular skin checks. But while Canadians are beginning to examine their skin for suspicious moles in search of melanoma, they often overlook – or don’t know to look for – signs of non-melanoma skin cancers. Specifically, a potentially serious condition called Actinic Keratosis. Known as AK for short, it’s the most common form of precancerous skin lesion (up to 10 per cent of AK lesions progress into skin cancer). But a recent survey found that only four per cent of Canadians have heard of AK, despite the fact that it’s one of the top skin conditions treated by dermatologists. The Courier spoke via email with Dr. Harvey Lui, medical director of the Skin Care Centre at Vancouver General Hospital, who expressed his concerns. “The incidence for non-melanoma skin cancer in Canada is projected to move dramatically upwards over the next few decades,” said Lui. “In fact, according to the 2011 Canadian Cancer Statistics Report, approximately 74,100 new cases and 270 deaths from non-melanoma skin cancers (basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma) are expected this year. “One precursor of squamous cell carcinoma is Actinic Keratosis, making primary prevention or treatment of AK crucial.”

“While symptoms of melanoma include discoloration and changes in the appearance of moles, a nonmelanoma condition, like AK for example, may manifest itself as a barely visible patch of skin that feels rough and similar to sandpaper,” he said. “It’s important to speak with your doctor if you notice suspicious moles on your skin, or feel changes in [your skin’s texture.]”

DAD’S DAY:

A RECIPE FOR GOOD HEALTH by Helen Peterson

Sunday, June 19 marks the annual day when kids of all ages celebrate their fathers. He’s a special guy, this man that raised you and – theoretically, anyway – tossed a ball around with you or taught you about life. A great way to celebrate with Dad is to gently remind him about healthy habits, so he’ll live a long life. Vital actions include being screened for diseases like prostate cancer and colorectal cancer when he reaches 50.

According to Health Canada, at younger ages, men are at a much higher risk than women of developing coronary artery disease. Smoking, physical inactivity, obesity and diabetes continue to be risk factors. You can start by encouraging Dad to get a check-up at the family doctor.

kudos & kvetches Haiku Night in Canada: part dix-neuf

K&K continues its annual haiku series in honour of the Vancouver Canucks playoff run. Spent the night downtown Wearing someone else’s gaunch Tainted memories.

Locker room rituals

Ever since we were kicked out of a Backstreet Boys concert for not wearing any pants, K&K has become painfully familiar with the term “limited media access.” It’s a prevalent part of the PR-spun media landscape we do business in. So it wasn’t entirely surprising that we received an email advisory this week from the NHL press police informing media types that in case of a Stanley Cup deciding game, “NO MEDIA WILL BE ALLOWED INSIDE THE WINNING TEAM DRESSING ROOM.” They didn’t have to shout about it. Gone are the days when dripping camera crews and journalists dutifully reported on orgasmic athletes screaming in ecstasy while soaking each other in the foamy white spray shooting from tightly gripped bottles of Champagne. Is it getting hot in here, or is it just us?

According to the prudish NHL message controllers, “30 minutes after the game’s completion, members of the media whose credentials bear a gold locker-room access stripe (who are not rights-holders or pool photographers) will be admitted to the ice through the Zamboni doors to conduct interviews with the winning team.” And that’s it. No filming of locker room shenanigans. No footage of shirtless embraces. No playful towel fights. No beard tugging and Eastern Promises-inspired man wrestling. All of which makes us wonder what exactly is the NHL afraid of? What are they hiding? What ritualistic ceremonies take place behind those closed doors when a team wins the Stanley Cup? Here are a few possibilities: • In addition to getting their names inscribed on Lord Stanley’s Cup, after the game players from the winning team are given two minutes alone with the Cup in a darkened closet. • Once in the guarded confines of their locker room, players from the winning team shave off their playoff beards and form a pile of facial hair in the middle of the room. The player who scored the least amount of points who’s not a goalie

must then disrobe and roll around in the “beard pool” for a minute. If the stray hairs sticking to the player form the shape of a cross or a silhouette of Wayne Gretzky, then that player is anointed “the chosen one” and is imparted with Kelly Hrudey’s “Wisdom of Hair Products.” • After the doors to the locker room close, Don Cherry and Ron MacLean show up with several flats of Moosehead, a Bootsauce CD and some “crazy drugs” so the real party can begin. • And now a special performance from Mitsou! • After entering the sacred locker room area, each player from the winning team must relinquish a vial of their own blood, preferably taken from their left arm or buttock, to be handed over immediately to NHL commissioner Gary Bettman. Bettman will then recite an ancient Sanskrit poem before drinking the vials of blood one by one. When he has finished consuming the Nectar of Youth, Bettman’s eyes will roll back into his head and he will fall to the floor in a trance as the players form a circle around his convulsing body and hit their bare stomachs like tribal drums until Bettman finally rises, fresh and renewed for another year.

What a reputation the Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762) had. Faced with being married off to Clotworthy Skefﬁngton, young Mary eloped with Edward Wortley Montagu, although she was rumoured to be in love with a third, unnamed suitor at the time. Marriage, she later claimed, was “a regular humdrum affair,” especially since Montagu left her in their country home while he enjoyed the pleasures of London. In Charles Siegel’s play—adapted, compiled and arranged from the letters to and from Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Alexander Pope, Horace Walpole and others—we don’t meet Lady Mary until, at age 36, she’s visited in Italy by Horace Walpole who fancies himself a chronicler of his time. Actually, he’s wildly curious about the rift between Lady Mary and Alexander Pope with whom she had carried on a lively correspondence that ended abruptly and with great vitriol on Pope’s part. Walpole, who continually claims to have no patience with passion, can’t wait to hear the juicy bits. And there were plenty. Lady Mary was a lively letter-writer, and The Reputation of Lady Mary is structured around her letters in an ingenious and, on her part, cunning way. She persuades Walpole to read Pope’s letters “in character” (as well as letters from other men who were besotted with her) while she reads

By her own account, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu led a “most interesting” life. her own replies. It forms a conversation between them; uptight Walpole, reluctant at ﬁrst, eventually gets into it by affecting Pope’s speech pattern and, later, trying on a bad Italian accent. As the intimacy in the letters heats up, so does Walpole—much to his embarrassment and Lady Mary’s amusement. She may have lost her great beauty to smallpox but she never lost her great wit. Blocking is minimal, but it’s really the words that matter; both Gwynyth Walsh (Lady Mary) and Anthony F. Ingram (Walpole) appear in period costume, scripts in hand. Rehearsal period was extremely limited—especially for Ingram who was appearing in Macbeth: nach Shakespeare concurrently. But it works. And it’s divine. The ﬁrst letters are from young

Lady Mary to the unknown lover, and Walsh delivers these with girlish impulsiveness. “I must give myself to the man I hate next Sunday,” she declares theatrically. As Lady Mary matures, so Walsh grows older, wiser and completely unconcerned with what society thinks of her. She confesses to Walpole that she hasn’t looked at herself in a mirror for 11 years and yet she can be a coquette when the spirit moves her. Ingram registers all the contradictory emotions that Walpole experiences: at first, indulging—almost patronizing—an older woman caught in the equivalent of her dressing gown and nightcap. But quickly the shoe is on the other foot and Lady Mary toys charmingly with hapless Horace. And she finishes him off with a wicked coup de grace. Historically, Lady Mary Montagu Wortley was a prolific poet and writer. She is credited with introducing smallpox inoculation to England after having seen it done in Turkey where her husband was, for a time, ambassador. During her lifetime she was unpublished, publication being “not the business of a woman of quality,” she declared. But she left the letters to her daughter with instructions for publication after her death. She inspired writers—especially women— and painters, including Ingre who, on the basis of Lady Mary’s words alone, painted the sensuous The Turkish Bath. The Reputation of Lady Mary is best described as a “salon” piece; it’s subtle. It’s like Lady Mary’s reputed last words: “This has all been most interesting.” Add charming and a marvelous vehicle for two excellent actors and you’ve nailed it. joled@telus.net

to Northern Ontario as a child. As soon as he received his social insurance number at age 16 he began a career of “slave labour,” picking tobacco, in construction and as a janitor. He served time for stealing cars and robbing a corner store and kept a journal in “the joint.” Reading Henry Miller’s Tropic of Cancer, then Charles Bukowski in the 1990s inspired Doyle to pursue writing. He came to Vancouver in 2004 to be a poet and writer. He found the Carnegie Community Centre’s Thursdays Writing Collective, led by Elee Kraljii Gardiner, and has seen his work published in four of the group’s chapbooks. Doyle visits Condon and Daniel Zomparelli, Megaphone’s writing program coordinator and editor of Poetry Is Dead magazine, which helped publish Voices of the Street, for individual writing guidance.

The publication is the culmination of a year of Megaphone running writing workshops in treatment centres, social housing buildings and community centres in the Downtown Eastside and Downtown Vancouver. It’s a publication of poetry and prose that’s punctuated with black and white photos courtesy of the Hope in the Shadows photography contest and calendar. Sean Condon, executive director of Megaphone, says Voices of the Street provides an honest portrayal of poverty, what it’s like to be homeless or a sex worker in a passionate and beautiful way. “We hope that will break down a lot of the stereotypes that people have around these issues, and also just around the people themselves, and show that this is really a thriving, creative community

Riotous

If you want an indication of the low spirits following Monday’s 5-2 road loss to the Boston Bruins, numbers from the Vancouver Police Department keep no secrets. • 313 liquor poor-outs • 26 violation tickets • 14 arrests And in their own words, the night was tame. “Officers monitoring the Granville Mall noted a significant reduction in open liquor and a reduced number of liquor pour-outs. This lead to a more positive atmosphere overall and fewer disturbances,” stated a news release. More positive because the optimism was drowned. Compare this to Friday night, when the city was elated after a victorious Game 5 at home. • 2,000 liquor poor outs by the VPD • 850 more poor-outs by the Transit Authority • 24 arrests for breach of the peace and public drunkenness • 120 tickets issued for fighting, liquor offences and urinating in public Tonight, the city parties and celebrates a Stanley Cup winning NHL franchise. Or, we sulk. Many residents and visitors to the downtown core remember the unprompted violence, arson and insurrection of disappointed fans following the failed 1994 Cup run. Regardless of the result, stay smart and keep it safe.

Sedins scold Milbury

Last week I addressed the inherent sexism of Mike Milbury’s comparison likening Daniel and Henrik Sedin to pop culture feminist heroes, Thelma and Louise. Milbury has been rightfully reprimanded (save for one Boston writer who thought the superﬁcial and shameful metaphor apt). The twins got their licks in over the weekend. The Sedins, two of the most upstanding athletes in any professional league, called the broadcaster and former General Manager of the Bruins and Islanders nothing short of childish. Daniel, punctuating the point I made in my own column, said: “He made a bad comment about us, calling us women. I don’t know how he looks at women. I would be pretty mad if I was a woman.” mstewart@vancourier.com Twitter: @MHStewart

Heat 10 battles at the annual Dragon Boat Festival on False Creek.

EW37

False Creek Racing club top Dragons Megan Stewart Staff writer

The 23rd annual Rio Tinto Alcan Dragon Boat Festival hosted some of the closest, hotly contested competition ever seen on False Creek this weekend. The False Creek Racing Canoe Club topped the Competitive A Final by a fraction of a second, winning .12 seconds ahead of Portland rivals, Kai Ikaika. In the photo-finish contest, FCRCC finished in one minute, 59 seconds and 56 microseconds and the top five teams crossed the finish line within 1.07 seconds of each other. FCRCC won the Open Championship with a time of 1:58.65, again beating Kai Ikaika of Portland by seconds. The secondplace team finished in 2:00.26. And in the Women’s Competitive Championship, FCRCC again bested the field. Defeating the closest competitor by near-

ly 10 seconds, the False Creek women won with a time of 2:11.42. The second-place Dragon Ladies came in at 2:19.63. The Grandragons defended the Courier Cup, a trophy sponsored by this newspaper, and won the seniors division in 2:12.12 over rivals from the Fraser Valley. ••• Meanwhile, in other non-hockey related sports news, Nick Ring of Calgary, Alta. defeated James Head of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma during their middleweight bout at UFC 131 at Rogers Arena on Saturday. “Once I got cut,” said Head following the bout, “I had a lot of blood in my face and he took advantage.” In the main draw, Junior dos Santos and Shane Carwin went three full rounds but it was the Brazilian pugilist who made mincemeat of his opponent’s face and secured the heavy-

weight victory. Featherweight Kenny Florian, who’s from Massachusetts, showed up for weigh-in wearing a Bruins jersey. He then wore the disdain of the crowed all night and “Boston sucks” rang through the arena as often as “go Canucks go.” He was the better fighter but conceded, “I’ve seen a lot of middle fingers.” UFC president Dana White said the Stanley Cup Final didn’t overwhelm the mixed martial arts event. “I love it up here and people were asking about this whole rivalry between us and hockey and if we could go back six months, I’d still pick the same date,” he said. “It was a great event, everything worked out and it was a big sports weekend for Vancouver. It was just as good as the first time. The fans here are awesome.” mstewart@vancourier.com
