New app invites users to explore city’s past and present Vancouver Public Library program aims to cultivate and curate community stories
John Kurucz
jkurucz@vancourier.com
Posterity and preservation are two of the central themes behind a newlyreleased app from the Vancouver Public Library that aims to link multiple generations of Vancouverites. Launched last week, Explore This Vancouver offers residents and visitors a chance to tour the city in an interactive manner complete with photos and stories from yesteryear, told by the people who were there. The first tour in the collection is called Chinatown Stories: A Narrative Exploration. It offers first-hand insights into what it was like to grow up, work and live in of one of the city’s oldest neighbourhoods. “It’s a neat way of discovering cool, little places to eat in Chinatown now, but also a little glimpse into the past,” said Kay Cahill, the library’s manager of digital services and
Through the VPL’s new Explore This Vancouver app, users can take an interactive walking tour called Chinatown Stories: A Narrative Exploration. “It’s a neat way of discovering cool, little places to eat in Chinatown now, but also a little glimpse into the past,” said Kay Cahill, the library’s manager of digital services. PHOTO DAN TOULGOET
former cycling columnist for the Courier. “It really builds up this picture of how Chinatown itself has changed.”
The app is free, and users download their tour of choice to their mobile phone. Clips begin with scene set-
ting and introductory text, and provides users with information around where to start their tours. From there, users put on
headphones and listen to the tapestries of storytelling unfold — memories of past businesses, landmarks, eateries and other destinations are recounted. “You actually get to hear the community voices as you make your way down the street,” Cahill said. The new app serves as a continuation of work library staff have been doing over the last three years as part of a longerterm strategy. Through compiling digital collections of communitycontributed stories, images, audio clips, videos and personal interviews with local residents, the program’s M.O. is to cultivate and curate community stories on a “hyper-local” level. “These are memories that are lost when the people who hold those memories pass away or move on, so we were looking at how we could bring those memories and stories together to create
this different kind of picture of the communities in Vancouver,” Cahill said. Outside of spreading local knowledge, there are other tangible benefits, as offline access to the tours and maps saves data and roaming costs. As well, it makes the library a more accessible facility than can be offered through its traditional brick and mortar locations. “We can we get all of these amazing photographs and recordings out into the community so that people don’t necessarily have to come to our website or to our library — they can experience these stories out in the neighbourhoods that the stories are about,” Cahill said. Cahill said plans are afoot to expand the tours in the coming months, and it’s expected the next one on the docket will explore the West End. The app is available for download via Google Play or the iTunes store. @JohnKurucz

Library adds more authors to its Literary Landmarks project Rumana D’Souza
rumanadsouza92@gmail.com
In a further attempt to foster an awareness and appreciation of literature in the
city, the Vancouver Public Library has added a new set of authors to its Literary Landmarks project. Literary Landmarks, which kicked off in March 2015, is a
Vancouver School Board http://www.vsb.bc.ca/school-closure
collaboration between the library, BC BookWorld and the VPL Foundation. The library describes the project as an “intersection of notable authors, their compelling stories
and the unique geography of our communities.” The first set of plaques around the city featured authors such as Margaret Atwood, Bud Osborn and Malcolm Lowry. As of this summer, there are 27 Literary Landmark plaques installed on lampposts across Vancouver, each marking the ties of notable authors to different locations in the city. Sandra Singh, chief librarian at the VPL, said the idea to link sites around the city to famous writers was conceived during a conversation library management had with the publisher of BC BookWorld Alan Twigg and noted educator Yosef Wosk. “We were talking about literary intervention in public spaces where people could encounter literature. Out of those discussions came the idea of little landmarks, and we connected with the staff over at cultural services at the City of Vancouver who came up with the idea of the plaques,” Singh said. Twigg curated the collection of landmarks and wrote the text on the plaques. The colourful panels feature a photo of the writer and a brief description of their works and connection to that particular place. The locations are also fea-

tured on an interactive map on the library’s website with details on authors and links to their works. Nobel prize-winning author Alice Munro is one of the writers featured in the project this year. The plaque commemorating her has been installed at the VPL’s Kitsilano branch on the city’s West Side where Munro worked prior to her worldwide literary acclaim. A plaque at Vancouver City Hall celebrates author Chuck Davis’ relationship with the city. Davis, a successful broadcaster and an expert on Vancouver’s history, devoted his life to sharing fascinating stories about the city until his death in 2010. Singh said the “cost-effective project” is a small but significant way to honour authors who have contrib-
uted to the city’s culture. “One of our main goals was to highlight in community spaces the remarkable writers that have helped create the stories of Vancouver,” she said. Other authors featured this year include Margaret Laurence, Emily Carr, Mona Fertig, Gary Geddes, Pauline Johnson, J. S. Matthews, Stan Persky and Michael Turner. “We have an incredibly rich and diverse literary heritage in Vancouver and we wanted to highlight that and introduce people to authors in a different way,” Singh said. The library is open to suggestions for writers for future Literary Landmarks. The VPL will be adding 10 landmarks in 2017. View the interactive map at pwp. vpl.ca/literarylandmarks. @RumanaDsouza

UBC psychologist touts benefits of Pokémon Go Rumana D’Souza

Pokémon Go can be a positive catalyst for people suffering from depression says a UBC psychologist. PHOTO REBECCA BLISSETT
off the couch is undeniable. The game also satisfies an innate human desire for collecting objects. “I think there’s something inherently pleasurable about collecting things. People have always been collecting things like coins and stamps, usually without any expectation of actual monetary gain from the process,” Mikami said. Although your winnings in Pokémon Go are not tangible, Mikami said, capturing a Pokemon can give you the same feeling of gratification as adding a sought-after stamp to your collection. “It’s very pleasurable to find something that allows you to make progress in completing your collection. You get a thrill when you find that missing piece.” By playing the game herself, Mikami realized Pokémon Go’s capacity to promote social interaction. “I was in an area where a rare Pokémon appeared and players were talking to each other about it,” she said. “Another time I joined a gym battle with someone and we collaborated together to fight on the same side.” Mikami said even fleeting interactions can go a long way in overcoming barriers that exist for people with social anxiety. “Some people
think only really deep, longlasting and intimate types of social interactions are positive and helpful. But research shows that even superficial or lighter interactions boost mood and have positive effects on well-being,” she said. Luke Clark, director at the Centre for Gambling Research at UBC, said video games deliver a steady trickle of reward to players, which, over time, can cause addictive behaviour. To illustrate, Clark cited a game most commonly linked to addiction: World of Warcraft. “We see a syndrome with people playing World of Warcraft for hours on a daily basis. They might be playing the game for 50 to 60 hours per week,” he said. “Then you see real consequences like not getting enough sleep, which affects academic or work performance, or causes family conflicts.” Clark said although Pokémon Go’s addictive potential is still unknown, players should watch out for excessive play if their pursuit of pocket monsters begins to interfere with their day-to-day. “We have to be very self-disciplined in order to complete the tasks we need to, while also balancing it with this constant access to fun forms of recreation,” he said.

While public opinion is divided over Pokémon Go’s merits, psychologists are extolling its cognitive benefits for people suffering from anxiety and depression. Released in July, Niantic’s augmented reality app has triggered a tidal wave of excitement, exceeding 100 million downloads worldwide. Researchers are beginning to look into the psychological effects of Pokémon Go after players took to social media to report unanticipated progress in their depression and anxiety treatment as a result of the unique physical exploration that comes with playing the game. To capture Pokémon, players have to exhaustively explore real-life locations with their smartphones, a feature that contradicts the unpopular association between video games and prolonged immobility. Loss of pleasure (anhedonia) and lack of motivation (avolition) are two main symptoms of depression. Amori Mikami, a clinical psychologist at the University of B.C., said by motivating players to get out and about, Pokémon Go works as a positive catalyst for people suffering from depression. “People with depression want to go out and do fun things, see new places and engage with the world but it’s such a heavy barrier. It can be really hard to overcome,” Mikami said. A multitude of studies have confirmed the depression-relieving effects of exercise, and while evidence of Pokémon Go’s psychological benefits is purely anecdotal, its influence getting people

Free event revels in bikes, burnouts and bikinis If a naysayer were to ask, Hazelwood would say he grew up in Langley, a Vancouver suburb that gets credibility points in motor culture as it’s home to one of the oldest lowrider clubs in Canada (Strong Car Club), many car shows and cruises, as well as being a hotbed for illegal street racing in the early 2000s. Hazelwood would also add that he used to ride Japanese sport bikes before trading for a Harley. “Why do you need to do 300?” he said of the sport bike’s outrageous top-end speed. So, the pair of 2014 Harley Dynas and the 1986 FXR, when it’s running, aren’t his first rodeo horses. The Waldorf parking lot barely contained the third annual Strong & Free show. Motorcycles were crammed next to classic cars and trucks while lowrider and vintage bicycles lined up alongside lowrider cars. It’s a good thing a bigger lot is on the to-do list — once the smoke cleared from the burnouts in the parking lot, the folks
at the Waldorf reportedly told Lords they weren’t welcome back. Power in numbers is also the reason for the existence of the Lords of Gastown, which started as a joke design on a homemade T-shirt with a logo inspired by skateboarding’s Lords of Dogtown cross. Hazelwood and Markovina, who met at Lyric School of Acting when they were 21 (Markovina is still involved in the film industry as an actor/producer), spent enough time in bars to earn the Lords of Gastown moniker, which, Hazelwood pointed out, was never meant to be taken seriously. “We made the T-shirts as a joke to wear into bars, as a reaction to play off their joke,” he said. “We were wearing the shirts and people wanted to buy them and then it was making 20, and then it was making 40, and then it was making 100 and then it was maybe we should make a hoodie.” Hazelwood’s girlfriend,
Jill Kacic, a Blanche Macdonald fashion graduate who is now Lords’ head seamstress, remembered screen-printing the shirts in the alley behind her Railtown place. “Then I made a jacket a month for the first year, made 30 jackets the second year, and then made 30 jackets every month,” said Kacic, whose bedroom became a mini-factory with
five sewing machines to accommodate the demand. As wild as Saturday’s show was with its burnouts, wheelies, and bikini models arriving at the contest stage via Harley bike shuttle, Hazelwood acknowledged there was another reason for the event aside from bringing a community of bikers together for a day. Proceeds went to the
Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada, one of the causes Hazelwood is passionate about as he has the disease. “Creativity is probably what saved my life when it comes to Crohn’s disease and it gave me a way to manage stress and channel some energy I was suppressing,” he said. “I was stuck in a hospital bed for almost two years, I could
die from that any day so standing on my motorcycle at high speeds while somebody videotapes me is something I want to do in my life. I don’t condone it… I don’t even like seeing it when my friends do it. I know it’s stupid… But it’s living, and I wasn’t living, I was trying to survive for so long, for a good portion of my adult life.” @rebeccablissett

In praise of summer jobs, busy kids and happy parents
S

Experience shows that getting into the workforce early helps to make a person much more employable as they get older. Ask any small business owner and they will tell you that having employees they can depend upon is a godsend. Before long it seemed like everyone — from former prime ministers to astronauts — were tweeting how they got their working life started. No surprise to me, none of the work sounded very glamorous. At age 16, I could hardly wait to find jjob, b, p b, luss myy p lu aren ar ents en ts w eree pu er p ttin tt ingg in a jo plus parents were putting

considerable pressure on me to get my butt out of bed and start earning some spending money. I landed two jobs that summer, and to this day I do not know which one was tougher. It was either stacking bricks next to a raging hot kiln for $4 an hour, or loading fast food waste into a trash compactor for $2.60 an hour. The latter was at the minimum wage for a youth under 18, as I recall. Nonetheless, it all helped me to learn a little humility at an early age, while providing a lesson in what it takes to earn a buck. Now, as a parent of a teenage girl, the shoe is on the other foot. I am reminded that finding your first summer job is not only tough, you have to be prepared to keep your expectations in check. Our daughter was really eager to find a job at age 14, but few employers are ready to hire at that age. The solution we created was to find a volunteer position at a reputable summer day camp where our daughter would have a regular shift, with her parents providing her with a daily stipend. The arrangement appears to have worked out for her, and for us. The following summer she was invited back and even managed to negotiate a raise out of us. It also provided her with experience she could put on her next job application. Our daughter finally got her first “real” job at the PNE this summer. It is shift work that at times leaves her dog tired, but she loves the job and cannot wait to tell us about her day when she gets home. What parents will soon discover is that when their teens get employment they will be responsible for chauffeuring them, especially when they work the late shifts. But taxiing someone home past your bedtime is a small price to pay, knowing they th eyy aare re ggetting etti et ting ti ngg h omee sa om safe fely fe lyy. home safely.
The Canadian unemployment rate for youth aged 15 to 25 is typically around 14 per cent, or about twice the rate of those 25 and up. Rates are generally higher for 15 to 17 year olds. It surprised me to learn we have among the lowest youth unemployment rates worldwide, according to data collected by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). By that measure about one out of six kids will find it challenging to secure work, which lines up with a random survey of my network. There is a palpable sense of pride and relief from parents when they tell you their teens have landed work for the summer. When they cannot find a job, however, there is some distress. My daughter reminds me how busy her life is during the school year. Between clas cl asss ti as time me,, ma me many nyy h ours ou rs o home mewo me work wo rk,, rk class time, hours off ho homework,
extracurricular activities and volunteering, it is any wonder they have time left for anything else. The summer break from school therefore becomes the only practical time for a typical teen to hold down a job. Experience shows that getting into the workforce early helps to make a person much more employable as they get older. Ask any small business owner and they will tell you that having employees they can depend upon is a godsend. So as the next school year approaches, let’s sing the praises of the summer job. They may not be the most stimulating or exciting work your kids will ever do, but one day they will look back fondly at those #FirstSevenJobs and be thankful for the experience, the paycheques and even the happy parents. @MikeKlassen Alle Al len le n Ga Garr rr iiss on v acat ac atio at ion io n. n.

Pulling plug on power of prayer Re: “Pray it forward,” Aug. 25. I was annoyed by the article “Pray it forward” and the Courier’s regular promotion of religion, ignoring the negative aspects of belief systems. Whether prayer is spoken or silent, expresses thanks, asks for forgiveness, help or healing there is no reliable scientific evidence whatsoever to show that prayer is anything more than an utterly futile activity which has no impact on the circumstances prayed about. Persistently repeating this practice despite consistently negative outcomes reminds one of Einstein’s definition of insanity — “doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.” Prayer distracts from seeking practical, proven scientific approaches to problem solving and creates irrational expectations
about God’s intervention. It is interesting to note that the feature article makes no mention of the destructive and often fatal effects of the believed power of prayer where faithbased healing is chosen in place of medical attention, and too often imposed on young innocent children by their fanatical religious parents. While some people may claim to receive solace from religious belief, it is at the expense of overlooking the complete lack of fact-based evidence for the existence of God and the evil and misery caused by blind faith. History up to the present is an unbroken record of national and international religious conflicts about nothing more than which faith should be believed. Religions breed intolerance, ignorance and bigotry, and are allied to racism and violence, contempt of women, coercion of children and an insult to human intelligence. Bruce Levens, Vancouver

WHERE BC’S PROFESSIONALS COME WHEN THEY NEED A UNION
A MESSAGE FROM
The Canadian Labour Congress HASSAN YUSSUF
For Canada’s unions, Labour Day is our time to celebrate our work and the everyday victories we win to make life better for everyone. This year, Canada’s unions have much to celebrate. After nearly a decade of pushing for improved public pensions, Canada’s premiers finally agreed that it was time to expand the Canada Pension Plan. Later this year, the federal government will put legislation before Parliament to implement the first increase in retirement income benefits in half a century.
Without the support of the provincial government and many municipal councils across B.C., this may never have happened. But it was B.C.’s unions, working with pension experts and seniors’ groups, who convinced those municipalities and the province that it was time to strengthen public pensions. Today’s seniors still need help to avoid falling into poverty.
Many are working long into what they thought would be their golden years, only to find the jobs, like their private pensions and savings plans, don’t deliver the goods.
Professionals in BC are struggling with some serious issues: excessive overtime, limited job security, lack of a pension, less say in the workplace and stagnant wages. A union that knows professionals can help.
It is young workers who will benefit most from an expanded CPP. Faced with the same hostile job market as their elders, and record levels of debt, today’s youth needed a new way to save

poverty groups and others in support of efforts like the “Fight for 15.It’s only fair.” campaign.
Victories like this are what get trade unionists out of bed in the morning.
Like retirement savings, we’ve learned the hard way that good jobs don’t just happen. They need to be cultivated — seeded, nurtured and protected, which is why Canada’s unions are encouraging governments to restore the conditions required to grow the good jobs people need.
The Canada we want has always been a country based on fairness, equality and cooperation. It’s one where a day’s work is fairly compensated, where nobody has to choose between their job and their health, and where after a lifetime of work, no one should face retiring into poverty. It’s one where working people have the stability and security to make plans for the future. Where our race, our gender, our bodies, who we love and how we live aren’t used against us. Where we are free to come together and work together for everyone’s benefit. This is why unions in B.C. are coming together with community organizations,anti-
Raising the minimum wage to a living wage, then tying it to the cost of living, is a good place to start. It’s also time to restore and protect sick days for all workers, so nobody has to choose between losing their job and their health. The country and the economy we want are within reach. We only need to work together to succeed. The same can be said for our continuing call for the federal government to ban asbestos.

From construction materials to brake pads, asbestosladen materials are still in daily use. Imports of asbestos into Canada are also on the rise. Buildings — hospitals, warehouses, rinks, community centres — contaminated with asbestos remain unregistered, keeping the people who use them and work in them at risk. Today, more than 2,000 Canadians die every year from asbestos-related disease. It is the leading cause of workplace-related death and it costs our health care system $1.7 billion a year. Winning a comprehensive ban will save lives and prevent the pain, suffering and heartache endured by too many today. Canada’s unions have been working with employers and governments for 40 years to protect people from this killer. We’re working with the new federal government to get the job done.

be backpack savvy KAREN JOHNSON, NSNEWS.COM
When buying a backpack consider the fit for your child When it comes to back-toschool shopping, one of the most important purchases parents and caregivers will make is the right backpack for their child. New research indicates there are long-term health risks associated with children wearing a poorly-designed or overloaded backpack. Studies show that hauling heavy backpacks on a continual basis can cause stress to the growing spine. A heavy backpack carried on the back can potentially injure the neck, shoulders and back, cause numbness in the arms and reduce blood flow to the surrounding muscles and tissues. Poor posture can also develop when a heavy backpack causes the child to lean forward, reducing their ability to maintain balance. The
shoulders can become rounded and the resulting stress on neck muscles can lead to headaches and neck pain.
! Choose a backpack with lots of pockets to help distribute weight more effectively.
Here are some tips parents and caregivers should follow when making this very important purchase.
! Now that you have an idea of what kind of backpack is best for your child, it’s also important to consider how much weight is safe for your child to carry.The general rule of thumb is no more than 15 per cent of the child’s body weight or 10 per cent for elementary school children.
! Find a backpack that is made of light materials, such as vinyl and canvas. ! Backpacks with two straps distribute weight much better than bags that are slung over the shoulder. ! The top of the backpack should not extend higher than the top of the shoulder and the bottom should not fall below the top of the hipbone. ! The shoulder straps should be at least two inches wide, be padded and should not fit too snugly around the arms. ! Choose a backpack with a padded back for added protection and support.
PHOTO: THINKSTOCK
! A hip strap or waist belt can take as much as 50 to 70 per cent of the weight off the shoulders and spine.Try to find a backpack that has one.
! Lastly, it’s also important to know how to put a backpack on so as to avoid injury. If no one is available to give a helping hand, squat or kneel to pick up the backpack and place it on a counter, chair or table at waist height, before slipping it on. ! Avoid twisting and lift with the legs, bending at the hips and knees to put on one shoulder strap at a time. Following these tips can help ensure your child’s back is protected.

However, there are those who will argue that the sweeping western starring Kris Kristofferson, Jeff Bridges, Christopher Walken, Isabelle Huppert and John Hurt is pretty darn good and deserves to be seen on the big screen.

THEATRE REVIEW
Lewd, crude Book of Mormon slaughters sacred cows with style Jo Ledingham
joled@telus.net
There are so many sacred cows slaughtered in The Book of Mormon: The Musical that it’s a wonder the Queen Elizabeth Theatre isn’t knee-deep in (metaphorical) blood. Mormonism is made to look completely ridiculous with founder Joseph Smith receiving a message from an angel in 1827 that God had buried, in Rochester, NY, golden plates on which he had inscribed a sort of addendum to the Old and New Testaments. It spoofs an almost glow-in-the-dark Jesus who says, condescendingly, to one of his Mormon missionaries, “You’re a d***.” It sends up ragtag Ugandan villagers who appear to be making a joyful noise when they dance and sing “Hasa Diga Eebowai” but which, it turns out, means “F*** you, God.” It lampoons gays and those who think homosexuals can be “cured” by simply, like a light switch, turning it off (“Turn it Off”). It even gets a laugh out of a great hulking black man who, believing he will be cured of AIDS, goes off to “f*** a baby.” Written by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, with music by Robert Lopez, it’s lewd, crude, irreverent and funny if you like adolescent dysentery, fart and scrotum jokes. But eventually it makes a good point: all religions are “made up” so what’s the harm in doing some tweaking to make, say Mormonism, fit the circumstances? In the case of The Book of
Mormon, the Ugandan circumstances include poverty, AIDS, female circumcision, violent warlords, bugs and vipers of all sorts. And the production values are through the roof. A fabulous art nouveau frame around the set depicts the Salt Lake Temple with the angel Moroni standing aloft. The choreography is witty, the singing is excellent, the music is huge and the lyrics are clever. It’s an event bountifully punctuated with the f-word. The leads in this Broadway Across Canada touring production are tremendous. Ryan Bondy is Elder Price — a gung-ho, self-obsessed, would-be missionary who only wants to be stationed in Orlando, Fla. but instead ends up “companioned” in Uganda with Elder Cunningham (Cody Jamison Strand), an overweight, nerdy little guy who confesses to “making things up.” These are two very strong, very confident performers with Bondy knocking everyone dead with “You And Me (But Mostly Me)” and Strand belting out “Man Up.” Arriving in Uganda, Price and Cunningham meet sweet Nabulungi (Candace Quarrels), the chief’s daughter, who recognizes that something has to change and is willing to take a chance with Mormonism. The baptism scene, performed behind a sheet, is obviously a stand-in for sex, with both parties — Elder Cunningham and Nabulungi — getting all hot and bothered.
The show is full of pop culture references so if you’re not up to date (and I’m not), you miss out on a lot of the fun. I’m not sure what to make of The Book of Mormon. It’s a fabulous production of really strange material: religious satire that pokes fun at Mormonism, homosexuals, Ugandans, God, musicals and anything that gets in the way. And it gets away with it. And has audiences leaping to its feet with standing ovations. Looked at in another light, in spoofing Mormonism it actually spoofs all organized religions, which are, after all, human constructs to make us behave ourselves. I question, however, whether the point has to be made in a way that dips below sophomoric into crude/ silly. A scene, for example, with a bunch of strap-on penises penetrating various orifices with great gusto, is only funny in a college skit sort of way. The fact that the show is wowing audiences all over the place — well, the Brits are less impressed — and that it’s winning awards, says more about audiences than it does about Mormonism. But then, really, The Book of Mormon: The Musical isn’t really about Mormonism. For more reviews, go to joledingham.ca.

PNE food tour goes deep… fried
Sandra Thomas
sthomas@vancourier.com
Standing inside his food truck at the Fair at the PNE, Jason Au begins to slowly pull apart the large hamburger he’s holding. It’s then that the gooey macaroni and cheese stuffed inside the burger begins to ooze out, much to the delight of the couple dozen media members and bloggers gathered last week for a food tour of the Fair. “That’s the money shot right there,” was the phrase I heard over and over again as the mac and cheese continued to seep out of the burger. Another popular addition to the fair this year is a wiener stuffed into a pickled, dipped in corn dog batter and then deep fried. You’re welcome. With the PNE coming to a close this Monday, you still have a few more days to get your feed on. Here is a list of more food highlights fairgoers can check out this year — stomachs willing.
Reel Mac and Cheese: Slumdog Millionaire Mac and Cheese Suzanne and Perry
In the past 100 years, society has witnessed a man on the moon, a cure for polio and now a wiener inside a pickle inside a corn dog. See more photos at vancourier.com. PHOTO DAN TOULGOET
Poudrier own a food truck and each year create a mac and cheese dish inspired by a Hollywood movie. This year’s hit is a take on the Bollywood scene with curry, peas and crispy onions, elevating their seven-cheese macaroni to celebrity status.
comparable to pretty much everything else for sale at the PNE. It’s expected that, with time, the burger will take on legendary challenge status, starting with the rumour a professional football player is planning to drop by this week to give it a go.
Gourmet Burgers: The Hercules 10-pound burger
Steve O’s: Deep fried tequila shot bites and Oreo cookie churros
At $70, this massive burger is not inexpensive, but because it’s been created to serve up to six hungry fairgoers, the price is
Ford deep-fries pieces of tequila-flavoured cake, gives them a quick spray of more tequila and then serves them with a sprinkle of icing sugar and slice of lime. Probably my favourite bite all morning. Meanwhile, Ford also creates creamfilled churros (fried dough) out of Oreo cookies. I had anticipated these would be my hands-down favourite sample of the tour, but the tequila shots were ahead by a century.

Ogopogo Concessions: Deep fried coffee
Lorne Beckett is garnering attention during his first year at the PNE by selling deep-fried, coffee-flavoured bites drizzled in salted caramel, espresso flakes, French vanilla or cream and sugar. I predict coffee lovers will flock to these treats faster than you can say, “Grande, iced, sugar-free, vanilla latte with soy milk.” @sthomas10
I was skeptical about the tequila shot bites at first, but after trying one, OK, I had two, I was sold. Coquitlam-based Stephen

Meditative labyrinths come full circle PACIFIC SPIRIT Pat Johnson
PacificSpiritPJ@gmail.com
From a distance, it can be weird to see people walking by themselves slowly in a circle. Up close, it can still look odd. But when you understand the intention of people pacing a labyrinth, it is charming and enticing. By definition, labyrinths can often be almost invisible. A new one at the Unitarian Church of Vancouver could be mistaken merely for a nice design in the paving stones of a courtyard. On the other hand, many are elaborate and unmistakable. There are, according to a global database of labyrinths, no fewer than 10 in the city of Vancouver that are open to the public and dozens more throughout the province. But who are the people who find comfort or spiritual fulfilment in this ancient yet unusual pursuit? It’s a diverse group, from pagans to devout Christians, atheists to New Agers. There are two new labyrinths in town, thanks
People have sometimes described it as a meditative technique that works better for Western people because it’s active rather than sitting passively. —Mary Bennett
in part to Mary Bennett, a Vancouver woman who is the former executive director of the Canadian Unitarian Council and a regular at the 49th and Oak Unitarian church. She and two friends stumbled upon the idea of labyrinths about 20 years ago during a women’s spirituality conference. “People have sometimes described it as a meditative technique that works better for Western people because it’s active rather than sitting passively,” says Bennett. “I find it useful as a kind of walking meditation.” Another thing that appeals to her is that some
of the fundamental labyrinth designs appeared throughout the ancient world at remarkably different locations — Scandinavia, South America and parts of what are now the southwestern United States. In Greek mythology, Daedalus constructed the first labyrinth to contain the half-man, half-beast Minotaur and nearly got lost in it himself. The point of today’s labyrinths, though, is not to get lost like you might in a corn maze or to replicate a house of mirrors. Most have a single path leading from the mouth to the middle.

Continued from page 23 The classic Cretan or seven circuit labyrinth is designed like the doubleheaded axe (“labrys”) of the Minoan mother goddess of Crete. Another of the most common styles is the Chartres labyrinth, which resembles a fourpetalled flower, designed in the 13th century at the French cathedral. Rather more recent are the two labyrinths at the Unitarian church. “There is a courtyard area that we thought could accommodate a small labyrinth and this year they were replacing some of the concrete there and fortunately somebody remembered that we had had hopes and dreams of having a labyrinth there,” Bennett says. Using concrete pavers, they embedded a labyrinth into the concrete. A second one, on the east side of the church property, will be a garden labyrinth. “It’s still kind of a work in progress, but you can walk it,” she says of the garden version. “It’s not as beautiful as it will be next year at this time.” While walking a labyrinth can be a form of meditation, she says, it is also a process with a beginning, a middle and an end. “What people say, and I do experience this myself, is when you walk into the centre, you could walk in with some kind of phrase
on your mind, or an intention,” says Bennett. “But sometimes, and this is what I usually do, just kind of open.” People will occasionally begin walking with their palms up until they get to the centre. This is a gesture of openness. “And then in the centre, sometimes, if you have a labyrinth experience,” she says with a laugh, “you receive what I say is… not necessarily an answer to your question or dilemma, but some kind of a response.” Quite simply, she admits, it is probably just a matter of finding the answer you seek once you quiet yourself. “Then, on the way out, people sometimes walk turning their hands palm-side-down to kind of ground that intention,” she says. Bennett does more than just walk labyrinths. She is part of a group called G.L.A.D. — The Gathering for Labyrinth Art and Dance. The group meets the third Thursday of each month — the next one is Sept. 15 — from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Unitarian church. “The first half-hour is doing art, usually relating to labyrinths, drawing labyrinths, painting labyrinths on stones, making labyrinths out of clay,” she says. Labyrinth art allows you to “walk” a labyrinth with your eyes or trace it
with your finger. “Then the second half-hour, if it’s good weather, we go out and walk one of the two labyrinths that have just been put in at the church over the past year and then the last hour is doing circle dancing together.” Circle dancing is not very proscribed. It is just what it says, a group of people dancing without partners in a circle to music of any sort. “Most recently, the first dance that I choreographed, I took one of Buffy Sainte-Marie’s songs from her Polaris-winning album ‘Power in the Blood,’ It’s called ‘We are Circling.’ It just called out to be danced to.” The Unitarians aren’t the only ones in the city getting into labyrinths. At least four Anglican churches in town have labyrinths, including St. Paul’s, in the West End, which does a big celebration around the labyrinth on New Year’s Eve. There are labyrinths in the Renfrew Ravine, in Strathcona Linear Park and at VanDusen Botanical Garden. “It had a real surge 20 or 25 years ago,” Bennett says of modern humans’ interest in the design and practice, adding that there are probably plenty that almost no one knows about. “People sometimes just install them in their backyard if they got the space.” @Pat604Johnson

Living TRAVEL
An Islay adventure on Vancouver Island Whisky lifestyle includes fishing, skeet shooting and drinking a wee dram
Christina Newberry
christina@christinanewberry.com
Out trolling for Chinook salmon in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, I watch my fishing guide, Ryan Chamberland, deftly slice the head off a herring, scoop out its guts and thread it onto a line so it moves like a live fish once dropped into the sea. Chamberland first learned to fish as a young boy, he tells me, when his grandfather taught him to
cast a line off the Victoria Breakwater. Back then, his bait of choice was a wadded-up ball of Wonder Bread pulled from his cheek. Today, he’s got plenty of modern equipment, but he wants us to see the old ways of doing things, too, such as this “cut plug” technique he learned while working at a lodge in Haida Gwaii. Portside, I can see the boat carrying the rest of my group and another keeper of knowledge and tradi-
tions passed down through time. Ruaraidh MacIntyre is sporting a tam o’shanter as only a Scotsman could. “It’s wool,” he says. “It’s warm.” He’s here to share his expertise of Ardbeg, the whisky brand that’s employed his family on the Isle of Islay, Scotland, for more than 120 years. MacIntyre left Islay (pronounced “eye-la”) to become the brand ambassador in Canada, but his father, “Big Ruaraidh,” is
still responsible for production at the distillery, part of a team of 17 who make more than a million litres of the whisky each year by hand. I’m with a group of travel writers and whisky connoisseurs gathered at Vancouver Island Lodge in Sooke, B.C., for a taste of the Islay lifestyle and spirit. We spent the day before at a shooting range, firing at bright orange clay pigeons, the first time I’d ever held a gun. Continued on page 26

Living We Want to Hear from You About Signs in Vancouver Signs are all around us, on our buildings, streets and landscapes. They play a prominent role in our environment, so we’re looking for your input as we update the Sign By-law. Since our City has grown and technology has changed, we’re updating our Sign By-law regulations for business signs on private property.
A recent trip to Vancouver Island Lodge included a lesson in whisky tasting. PHOTO CHRISTINA NEWBERRY
For peat’s sake
Continued from page 25 Most of the time, I missed. I clipped one and then, finally, shot another into a glorious mess of pieces in a mid-air explosion that was much more satisfying than I’d expected. MacIntyre, no surprise, hit nearly every one of his clay targets, and now he’s confidently reeling in a prime fish. Of course, he’s done this before. Fishing and hunting are common pastimes on Islay, an island in the Scottish Hebrides where locals gather what they can from the water and the land. It’s a rough environment where winds are fierce and trees simply won’t grow. Peat, that boggy fuel that gives Ardbeg its signature smoky flavour, is one of the only sources of heat on the island. “You wouldn’t think people would want to live there,” MacIntyre says, but 3,000 of them do, about a third of them working in jobs tied to the whisky trade. The consistently bad weather makes for a consistently good whisky, MacIntyre adds, since the cool but not cold year-round temperatures allow consistent flavours to develop during the years the whisky spends aging in wooden barrels in the seaside distillery coated in Atlantic spray. By the end of our day on the Strait, most of us have reeled in fish of our own — and we’re all ready for a wee dram. Back on land, our guide Chamberland — who’s also the lodge proprietor, boatwright and barbecue master — grills our catch on cedar planks while we warm our bones in the hot tub overlooking the lodge’s small bay. After inhaling the salmon and tearing our way through some fresh-caught king crab, it’s time to settle in for the serious business of learning how to drink a single malt. The first mistake you’re probably making is drinking too much, and too quickly, MacIntyre explains. A dram
of whisky should take as long to drink as a pint of beer. (In Canada, a dram is the same as an ounce, but you’ll tip your hand as a beginner if you order an ounce of whisky at any reputable pub.) Ice is a no-no, since it changes the experience on the palate and causes too much dilution, but a few drops of water — about three millilitres — can “open” the flavours. Before taking that first sip, nose the whisky for 10 seconds, as you would a glass of wine — but if you’re a beginner, be careful. “The nose is like a punch in the face,” MacIntyre says, smelling the Ardbeg Ten Years Old, “but the balance that comes in the whisky-making process is very evident here.” Opening your mouth as you inhale makes that first sniff a little easier to take. From there, it’s time to drink, starting with a tiny sip and holding it on your tongue to pick up the flavours — you might taste pepper and anise, tobacco and toffee and, of course, Islay’s peat. Add water a few drops at a time until you get the balance you’re looking for, then settle in to enjoy the glass over a game of cards or a night of tall tales or a song — it’s the Islay way. Islay is a 45-minute prop plane flight or four-and-ahalf-hour trek by car and ferry from Glasgow. If you make it there, Ardbeg offers distillery tours and tastings. Hardcore fans can even spend the night on site at Seaview Cottage, the former home of the distillery manager, now converted into a three-bedroom self-catering guesthouse. For the less passionately devoted, a quick hop to Sooke, where Vancouver Island Lodge offers three- and four-day allinclusive fishing packages, is a much easier way to get a taste of the Islay lifestyle. Of course, if you’re more interested in the spirit, a taste of Islay’s peat is as close as your local liquor store.

Synchronized swimmer represents Canada on world stage Kendall Stirrat is one of two B.C. residents named to Canadian team in Puerto Rico
John Kurucz
jkurucz@vancourier.com
Ask Penny Oleksiak, and she’ll likely tell you expectations can be as fluid as the water that vaulted her to super stardom in Rio. It’s a model of success, and a belief system, that Vancouver’s Kendall Stirrat is looking to replicate starting this week. Stirrat is one of two B.C. residents representing Canada at this week’s Amateur Swimming Union of the Americas competition in Puerto Rico. The solo synchronized swimmer is competing in the under-15 category at the meet, and it’s her first time competing for her country at an international meet. “I expect it to be a little bit different, but I just have to adapt to whatever is put in front of me,” said Stirrat, 13. “I’m just going to go for it and do my best.” The parallels to where Oleksiak is at now, and where Stirrat hopes to be heading, are striking. These Olympics were supposed to Oleksiak’s test case for 2020: instead the 16-year-old was Canada’s most celebrated athlete, captured four medals, and was the nation’s flag bearer
Kendall Stirrat, 13, made the national team one year ahead of her schedule and is now looking to carry that success forward on the international stage. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER
at the closing ceremonies. The plan for Stirrat was to crack Canada’s synchro squad next year, with an eye on the 2020 Games as well. But throughout qualification events this year, goals were set, expectations were met and the competitive compass was re-set. She advanced through compulsory trials that saw the field of swimmers pared down from 220 to the final 12. Now the plan is to be the best in Canada for her age by next year.
“People were saying this wasn’t [Oleksiak’s] year, that 2020 would be her time,” said Kara Zader, Stirrat’s coach at the Pacific Wave Synchronized Swimming Club. “We also have a 2020 plan for Kendall because she shows up for training every day and she works her ass off. She’s doing things that older-level athletes are doing. The plan is unfolding perfectly.” The initial semblance of that plan was put in place four years ago, when Stirrat
first moved to the club. She was 11 at that time, though her competitors ranged in age between 13 and 15. Doubt, anxiety and growing pains clouded her first six months. “I normally just try and forget about [the stress] — what happens, happens,” Stirrat said. “I may feel angry at first, but that transforms into motivation. I try to leave that behind and focus on the next thing.” That focus has been central to someone who’ll
enter Grade 9 at Kitsilano secondary school this month. Stirrat balances a rigorous training regimen that eclipses 30 hours a week, along with school. There are times when she can’t fit in the normalcies of being a teenager. “Lots of kids, they’re at the lake or at the cabin during the summer, but Kendall was at the pool putting in her time,” Zader said. “That’s the easiest thing about working with Kendall is that she always
comes to the pool happy. Much like any athlete who decides to go the high-performance route, that first year is a lot harder than what they are used to.” Stirrat comes from a family of swimmers: her mom was involved in competitive synchro, her older sister is a swimmer and her cousin used to train at the same club she does. Swimming since the age of six, the lofty goals of being the nation’s best and a 2020 Olympic berth don’t seem as lofty as they did when Stirrat first set foot in a pool. That Oleksiak shattered any notion of an age barrier only cements her resolve and her coach’s confidence. “When I was younger it was more of a fun thing to do,” Stirrat said. “There [weren’t] major goals, but this kind of momentum built around being competitive, setting goals and achieving them. The moment you achieve your goals is a great feeling, and I wanted to keep feeling that. The drive to keep getting better is what drives me.” The Amateur Swimming Union of the Americas tournament is on now and runs until Sept. 4. @JohnKurucz
Vancouver MMA instructor wins in his UFC debut on home turf John Kurucz
jkurucz@vancourier.com
As it turned out, Jeremy Kennedy didn’t even need his go-to gaunch during his Ultimate Fighting Championship debut Saturday. The Vancouver-by-wayof-Surrey Mixed Martial Arts fighter copped his first win in the UFC at Saturday’s card
in Vancouver despite not adhering to one of his oldest pre-fight superstitions: wearing the same set of underwear to the pre-fight weighin that he’s worn consistently over the last seven years. Because the UFC has an exclusive apparel deal with Reebok, the 23-year-old stood on the scale in a new set of skivvies.
It didn’t matter in the end, as Kennedy upped his record to 9-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC after a unanimous decision over fellow Canuck Alessandro Ricci. Speaking to the Courier 48 hours after his historic debut, Kennedy was still coming to grips with the win and the overall experience of fighting in the big leagues.

“It’s been pretty crazy and now that it’s completely done, it’s nice, man,” he said. “It’s a nice load off my mind — I was so stressed out, anxious and nervous for so long. It didn’t really hit me until Sunday afternoon because I was so hyped up from the fight. Now I get to relax and eat some good food.”
A teacher at Vancouver’s Budo Mixed Martial Arts, Kennedy fought up a weight class on Saturday: traditionally a 145-pound featherweight, he moved up to the 155-pound lightweight class. “Because he was clearly bigger than me, I had to make that into a positive,” Kennedy said of his modified game plan. “I was in his
face the whole time, kept moving and made him carry my weight. I couldn’t stop or slow down.” With a newly-signed, fourfight contract in tow, Kennedy now aims for a bout later this year against fellow featherweight Artem Lobov. For a longer version of this story, go to vancourier.com/ sports.

VILLAGE OF BELCARRA “Between Forest and Sea” 4084 BEDWELL BAY ROAD, BELCARRA, B.C. V3H 4P8 TELEPHONE 604-937-4100 • FAX 604-939-5034 belcarra@belcarra.ca • www.belcarra.ca
Village of Belcarra Application to Transport Canada To add Bedwell Bay to “Designated Sewage Areas” The Village of Belcarra is requesting that Transport Canada include Bedwell Bay on the list of water bodies included in the Vessel Pollution and Dangerous Chemicals Regulations, Schedule 2, Designated Sewage Areas. The requested designation will mandate that boats have appropriate sewage holding tanks in order to access Bedwell Bay. Bedwell Bay, located on Indian Arm in Belcarra, BC, is a relatively enclosed marine water body with limited flushing which is receiving increasing amounts of sewage from boats that anchor in the Bay over summer weekends. Bedwell Bay is surrounded by Belcarra Regional Park and residential properties, and is a heavily utilized recreational water body used for many water based recreation activities. Bedwell Bay also supports a significant range of marine aquatic life and sensitive marine habitat. A Transport Canada prerequisite prior to the above noted designation is that the applicant complete a consultation process including potential affected parties and stakeholders. As a consequence, this advertisement is being run in local newspapers to advise of this process being undertaken with Transport Canada to obtain Designated Sewage Area designation for Bedwell Bay. Please contact the Chief Administrative Officer, Lorna Dysart, 604-937-4100 or ldysart@belcarra.ca by September 16th, 2016 if you have any questions or comments related to Belcarra’s application.

WEEKLY FORECAST: SEPTEMBER 4 – 10, 2016 START NOTHING: 5:30 p.m. Sun. to 5:38 a.m. Mon., 5:43 p.m. to 6:20 p.m. Wed., and 5:51 p.m. Fri. to 5:55 a.m. Sat.
Remember, avoid all new starts and major purchases. Make no promises/commitments, and accept none. Tackle chores all week. Relationships fill Sunday – a flirty person could surprise, perhaps please you. Seek the depths Mon. dawn (PDT) to suppertime Wed. This entire interval is fortunate – “destiny” is on your side, especially in finances, debt, investments, health, diagnoses, lifestyle curiosity and in seeking intimacy with someone special.
Remember, Libra, don’t start new projects or relationships, nor buy anything major, before September 22. In general, you’ll feel tired. But people like you, seek you out to a mild degree. Rest, contemplate, co-operate with bureaucrats. Despite your low energy, this week and next are setting you up for a hugely fortunate, superb year ahead – one in which you can solve or “escape” a long-term domestic problem or barrier.
Start no new projects or relationships, nor make major purchases before Sept. 22, Taurus. This week and the next couple bring romance, passion, beauty, pleasure, creative and risktaking urges. Tackle chores Sunday – take care with machines, computers, electricity. Relationships surprise and please Mon. dawn (PDT) to Wed. suppertime. You could meet love and excitement! All three days are benevolent.
Avoid starting new projects or relationships, Scorpio, and reject major purchases – all until September 22. Until then, reprise old ventures/bonds, or protect ongoing ones from misunderstandings, shortages, etc. This is a very social month, filled with happy meetings, flirtations, optimism, popularity and entertainment. A former friend, flirty friend, or sexual partner might return. It will be as it was, no better or worse.
Remember, start nothing new before September 22. The main ascent this month lies on domesticity, family, property, garden, nutrition, resting and a state of quietude. However, a thread of romance has just begun and will last until late September. Simultaneously, this Friday begins a 13-month year of the best romantic opportunities you’ve faced in over a decade.
Start nothing new – projects, relationships or purchases – before September 22, Sage. A former career role might return. Be alert, double-check everything touching on your career – emails, proposals, dates, meetings, etc. For some years, your home has been “evolving” – and providing you with worry. This year, that worry seems to involve money – e.g., enough income to pay the mortgage, or repair that north wall?
Hey, Cancer. Start nothing new, projects nor relationships, before September 22. A former friend or long-gone sibling might appear – good. Work’s hard and intense all month – but home offers an oasis of peace, beauty, affection and recuperation. This is a foreshadowing, because this Friday on (to October 2017) touches your food and shelter interests with a wand of luck, optimism and prosperity.
Reject major purchases, and new ventures or relationships before September 22. A former law suit, far travel, educational, publishing or intellectual project might be revived – DON’T start anything new in these areas; it would go in expensive circles, then sigh and peter out. All month, 1) higher-ups love you; and 2) avoid belligerent people, dark alleys, etc. A Capricorn lady emailed to say I should not mention such scary things. Okay, lady, feel free to haunt dark alleys!
Remember, Leo, start no new relationships nor projects before September 22. Especially, make no major purchases – lemons abound. The general accent lies on money, earnings, spending, etc. – and on sensual attractions. Being solely sex-based, these sensual attractions usually end, within a year, in boredom. But a sweet, adventurous romantic streak this month keeps your heart ticking. Friday begins 13 months of luck in light romance, friendship, travel and communications.
Start nothing big, new, Aquarius. Instead, stick with ongoing projects, or reprise past ones. A former sexual partner might return, but at the same time new love, new understandings of love, and a huge, 13-month period of love’s adventure and fortune are about to begin. Now, this former sexy link, if you re-attach – might evolve into that new love, proper love, and even into a wedding.
This Mercury retrograde (until almost midnight Sept. 21) is all about you. First, it occurs while your energy and charisma are at an annual peak. Second, the “retro” is in your own sign and involves your own planet, Mercury. So it is your past, your actions that many people are “responding to.” More importantly, this retrograde reaches down deep into your past, your self, where something very valuable lies.
Remember, Pisces, don’t start any new ventures nor relationships, nor buy anything important before September 22. This especially applies to relationships, relocation, public dealings and litigation, opportunities and challenges. One of these might return from the past (e.g., your “ex” shows up or calls – or you call him/her). Bosses are impatient, temperamental all month, so be long-suffering and keep your sense of humour.
