Analysis

Remembrance Day remembered in veterans’ 12TH&CAMBIE Mike Howell

mhowell@vancourier.com

The skirling of bagpipes always gets me on Remembrance Day. That sound, that drone, that moment when the pipers come together in a chorus of musical precision — it really does, as the cliche goes, send a shiver up my spine.

It momentarily interrupts my breathing, too.

Mostly, it focuses the mind: So much loss, so much sacrifice, and right there in front of us are the men and women who deserve our respect and attention on a day for remembering.

You’ve seen them, standing and sitting in the rain, dressed in blazers, others in uniforms, all heaving with medals. In another time, they were on battlefields in Europe, in Asia, in Africa, in Bosnia, the Persian Gulf and, most recently, in Afghanistan.

I realized this year, after more than two decades in journalism, that I’ve written

many stories about Canadian veterans. It’s been a privilege, almost a selfish history lesson, to listen to what life was like for a soldier during wartime and what it was like for that same soldier to return home.

So, in this space today, I want to remind you of what they said. I’ve gone through a box of yellowed newspapers I keep in my garage and found some of their words.

95 when I interviewed him in 1998. He served in the First World War and Second World War. He was a member of the 17th Reserve Battalion (Nova Scotia), which fought in the

Battle of Amiens in France.

He buried many of the wounded from that battle.

“Gruesome, just gruesome. The funerals were the sentimental part of war.

The music, the shooting of rifles, it had an impact. But we had to give the fellas a proper military sendoff.”

• Orme Payne. He was 80 when I interviewed him in 2002. He served in the Second World War as a member of the Canadian Army’s 17th Field Regiment. He and good friend Gordy Bannerman fought in Italy and later joined the Canadian force that liberated Holland.

“I never thought about it at the time, but after the war I did: How the hell do you take a bunch of guys off of farms or out of offices or wherever, and get them in to such a shape that they go and kill somebody else, and then when that’s done, you put them back where they came from and everything is supposed to be all right? Good God, that wasn’t right.”

• Daniel Lee. He was 82 when I interviewed him in 2003. He and his buddy,

Roy Mah, were among those Chinese young men i who served for Canada during the Second World h War, even though they were not considered Canadian citizens. Lee spoke to me about sending a letter t to friend Norman Gillis t during wartime.

“They sent it back to me, and right on the front t of it some Air Force person t wrote ‘killed.’ That was it, no explanation, just ‘killed.’ I felt rotten about h that for a long time.”

• Ted Gregoire. He was 85 when I interviewed him g in 2004. He was a mem- r ber of the Royal Winnipeg m Rifles. He recalled the moment he jumped from a landing craft into icy waters during the D-Day t h invasion, June 6, 1944.

“It was like dumping a sheep in the water. Don’t ask me how I didn’t get hit, or how many got hit, T but I remember jumping over bodies between the landing craft and the beach. I often think how t they missed me on the beach that day. It’s something I’ll never know.”

own words • Tom Stewart. He was 79 when I interviewed him in 2004. He was 19 when he hit the beach during the D-Day invasion. He told a story about reaching an orchard in France where the North Nova Scotia Highlanders regiment had taken heavy casualties.

“You have to appreciate that these fellas had come over from Canada and lived together for two years before D-Day, and in three or four hours, the unit was literally destroyed. The C.O. [commanding officer] never got over it and had to be replaced. I don’t know how many men they lost, but I can tell you we weren’t very crowded in that orchard.”

• Jeff Tait. I never got to interview him because he died at 27 on Jan. 10, 1992 in a training mission in Cold Lake, Alta.

He was a passenger in a CF-5 jet. One year earlier, Tait was flying bombing and escort missions in the Persian Gulf War, one of the first Canadian pilots to enter into battle since the Korean War. His brother Brian spoke to me in 1998.

“It was tough. I had all the confidence in the world in him when he went to the Gulf. To have him die after the war, during peace time, was a shock. At this time of the year, one thing a lot of people forget about is the people who died during peace time, and to me that’s no less significant than those who died in battle.”

• John Croucher.

He was 33 when I interviewed him in 2006. He was a member of Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry and was seriously injured when the LAV 3 military vehicle he was in hit an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan.

“The most difficult thing is the friends I’ve lost. And secondly, I’ve always had a fear of burning, and being on fire hasn’t removed that fear. Being on fire was very traumatic.”

• Kai Hesser. He was 30 when I interviewed him in 2006. He was a communications specialist from 741 Communications Squadron out of Victoria. He survived a bomb blast while riding in a LAV 3 vehicle. Two

soldiers were seriously wounded. Hesser broke his left ankle, right knee, hip, suffered ligament damage and developed a blood clot.

“It was pretty horrific.

But at the same time, when you walk through the mental process in your head of what just happened, you’re actually pretty calm about it and everybody was.”

• Mike Pehlivanian. I interviewed him via email in November 2013 from a centre for people suffering from mental illness and addictions. He was a member of Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry when a roadside bomb exploded under his armoured vehicle in Afghanistan in 2008.

The blast left Pehlivanian with a serious brain injury.

“I want to feel healthy and I am working on it each day.

I have the scars that forever remind me of my suicidal path. I have memories of pride, memories of death and memories of how it was before my injuries. It’s hard on me. Almost every day, I break down in tears.”

East Side apartment complex will be country’s largest Naoibh O’Connor

noconnor@vancourier.com

The rental building under construction at the corner of East Hastings and Skeena Street looks similar to countless others being built around the city. But one detail, noted in small print on the promotional sign, calls attention to the difference: it aims to be designated a “Passive House,” a highly energy efficient building.

It’s one of only a handful of buildings or houses in Vancouver that either have the designation or are targeting it. Once certified, the Heights — as it’s been dubbed by the developer — will be the largest building in Canada that’s met the Passive House standard.

Passive House is an international standard of energy efficiency. It focuses on reducing energy used to

“Many passive houses are heated just with the air being provided to the suit or the building. You’d have a small heating element, smaller than the heating element in a hairdryer, for instance, that could gently heat the air because you have such low energy loss,” explained Chris Higgins, a green building planner for the City of Vancouver.

“Think about a thermos or a down coat — that’s

similar to the approach a Passive House takes. It’s a super-insulated structure, it’s a super-insulated building, with very low heat loss, as opposed to traditional construction where you’re just trying to manage the heat loss [where] a large furnace [provides] the amount of heat required. In a Passive House you don’t have that large furnace.”

Eighth Avenue Develop-

ment Group, Peak Construction and Cornerstore Architecture are involved in the rental-apartment project, which is expected to be completed in June of 2017.

It’s good news to Karen Tam Wu, program director of buildings and urban solutions at the Pembina Institute, a think tank dedicated to clean energy and reducing the impacts of fossil fuels, which organized

a media tour of the Heights Tuesday morning.

“Basically, it’s a very tangible representation of the future of where Vancouver’s buildings, and where hopefully B.C. and Canada’s buildings, are going,” she said. “It’s important to realize that these types of buildings that are de-carbonized and low-energy — ultraenergy efficient, are the way of the future. They’re also representative of the local clean economy in action.”

Wu said, in B.C. alone, there are more than 23,000 jobs in the green building sector and more than 10,000 green homes and buildings.

She maintains those numbers will continue to grow now that Vancouver has a zero-emissions building plan and once B.C.’s recently announced climate leadership plan is implemented. A pan-Canadian framework is also expected to be announced at the beginning of December.

“This [Skeena Street building] is a chance to really see and hear about this way of building and the path forward to a decarbonized future.

Passive House building “And it’s great for the economy and local jobs,” she said.

“It’s not fancy technology that makes these buildings ultra-energy efficient. It’s very basic building science of having an air-tight building, with high-quality windows and super-insulation.

This is how you reduce heat and energy loss and waste.”

In North America, the number of structures with Passive House designation has grown from 500 to 2,000 units — a quarter of that figure is accounted for in Vancouver. On Tuesday, Pembina Institute released a report called “Accelerating market transformation for high-performance building enclosures,” which tracks the growth of Passive House buildings, assesses their costs and benefits and addresses how policy can encourage their adoption.

Ed Kolic, principal of Eighth Avenue Development Group, said the architect introduced him to the idea. Kolic said it makes for a much simpler building while meeting green building requirements.

In the city of Vancouver, if you have to rezone a

property, you have to meet the LEED Gold standard, which has a certain number of energy points that have to be achieved, which Kolic said causes the mechanical system to become very complicated.

“The Passive House method of building is the equivalent of putting a down jacket on. Put a down jacket on, you’re warm. It’s all about the envelope that goes around the building. It blocks the thermal bridging.

In other words, it’s so well insulated on the outside that it doesn’t allow any heat to escape,” he said. “If you’re not allowing much heat to escape, you’re not recreating much energy to heat your building any longer. It literally drops your energy bill by 85 per cent and that’s measurable. And because we’ve reduced the complexity of the mechanical system, it’s now just a very simple building with electric baseboard heaters, which help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”

Kolic said he’s proud to be on the leading edge of this type of construction in B.C. “It’s just starting to get some traction in North

America. So, to me, we’re promoting it. I’m an advocate of it,” he said.

Higgins said the Skeena project is important “because it’s an investor-led program and it really demonstrates that aside from city or civic goals, the business community is showing that this can be done. And when people are looking for a return on investment, there can be quite good alignment between environmental and financial performance and return on investment.”

He noted one of the advantages of building in Vancouver is that there is a local manufacturer of Passive House-certified windows — EuroLine Windows based in Delta, which helps control costs.

“For instance, a project building in Ottawa might import the windows from Europe and add cost and the delay built in there,” he said. “Projects that are trying to meet a construction schedule might be nervous about doing that. So that’s one real strength we have.

Having a local manufacturer and having local supplies is important.”

New meeting date set for Safeway site after DEVELOPING STORY Naoibh O’Connor

A “community social” has been re-scheduled for Nov. 19 to discuss the future development of the Safeway site at Broadway and Commercial. PHOTO DAN TOULGOET

HAVE

A “community social” about the redevelopment of the Safeway site at Broadway and Commercial is back on after it was postponed for several weeks following the unexpected death of architect Bing Thom, whose architecture firm is involved in the project.

Thom died Oct. 4.

The website for the redevelopment includes a note from the project team acknowledging Thom’s death: “The project team is deeply saddened by the sudden loss of our project architect, Bing Thom, who was

passionately involved in the initial ideas for the Safeway site,” the message states. “Bing Thom was a visionary architect and his enthusiasm for the transformative power of architecture inspired many both near and far. His human-scale approach invigorated the public realm, as he believed in ‘building beyond buildings,’ creating beautiful spaces for the community.”

Crombie REIT owns the Safeway site land and Westbank is the developing partner.

The re-scheduled meeting will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Federico’s Supper Club, 1728 Commercial Dr. on Nov. 19.

The Grandview-Woodland Community Plan

allows for two 24-storey towers on the Safeway site, 12-storey buildings around the edge, small retail, offices, a public plaza, and space for a one- or two-storey grocery store. Safeway, which has a long-term lease that totals more than 50 years, has indicated it only wants a onelevel store.

Thom spoke at a city council meeting about the neighbourhood’s community plan on July 27, representing Crombie REIT. He touched on several issues, including Safeway’s insistence for a onestorey store, density and height for the site, and he asked for flexibility on the wording in the plan about tower and podium.

rarchitect’s death “We think there’s an opportunity here to create a different kind of, let’s say, mid-density and mid-rise kind of development on this particular block that could be quite interesting for families and encourage a different prototype in terms of buildings in areas that are surrounded by singlefamily homes,” he said.

After Kevin Pritchard, development manager with Crombie REIT, confirmed at the same council meeting that Safeway will not build a store over two levels and that “revitalization of the site will not happen without agreement from Safeway,” Coun. Geoff Meggs expressed concern about Safeway’s expectations for a new store.

In an interview last week, the Courier asked Meggs if he’s still concerned about Safeway’s influence on the site’s redevelopment.

“I don’t exactly know what Safeway’s proposing, so in general terms I worry when we see commercial tenants drive the design based on their experi-

ence when we’re building something for the future,” he said. “What I mean by that is, we now see twostorey grocery stores here in Vancouver, including one at Smithe and Burrard. So it’s possible. I don’t know whether it’s always desirable.”

A second related issue Meggs raised is parking requirements and what those in the grocery industry assume is necessary.

“Both [issues] can have a big impact on the outcome,” he said. “So I raised the question [on July 27] because I don’t want their assumptions to necessarily determine the outcome. [The proponents] have a strong team working for them so I assume they’ll test every opportunity to do things differently.”

Meggs said flexibility is needed on all sides to get the best design.

“I have no qualms about encouraging city staff to show flexibility and creativity in these discussions, but I want the proponents to do so as well,” he said, later

adding, “My caution goes to community advocates, too — to understand the critical role that whole site plays in the region. It’s at the crossroads of our SkyTrain routes. When council reviews these things — of course we have the community plan and we went through that process, we’ve got to be totally respectful of it, but we also have to remember that this is not just a neighbourhood plan.

It’s one that has significance regionally because it’s got to support that rapid transit system, which is key to some kind of sustainable city down the road.”

The proponents have indicated they want to “reimagine” the property and brainstorm “a new urban typology for the city and for family living” at the community meeting, although it’s unclear what that means.

Attempts to contact them in late September were unsuccessful. The Courier was told “it will be a conversation with the community first.” @naoibh

Airbnb a global problem

T

he folks from Airbnb were back at city hall last week to once again make sure things were going their way as city staff continues to collect feedback from Vancouverites on the issue of short-term rentals.

They also wanted to tell city councillors and staff they met with that Airbnb was beginning to poll Vancouverites; more ammunition in what Coun. Geoff Meggs calls “the most comprehensive lobbying campaign I have ever seen.”

What is not included in Smith’s report would make for its own report. We don’t know, for example, what percentage of the rentals were whole units — houses, laneway houses, basement suites, condos or apartments.

And Vancouver is not alone. But I will get to that in a minute.

You may have noticed a very slick series of TV ads and billboards in SkyTrain stations earlier this year promoting the benefits of the “sharing economy.” Airbnb wouldn’t say how much dough that cost them. Advertising industry sources put the

“buy” at about $2 million.

And then last week, the Airbnb campaign released a report by a University of Victoria academic, Dr. Brock Smith, on the economic impact Airbnb’s business has on the city of Vancouver. SFU masters student Karen Sawatzky has written her thesis on the phenomenon and impact of short-term rentals and notes that the latest Airbnb economic study is just one of dozens they have produced for similar campaigns they have conducted across the globe.

And please realize that all the raw data that Smith used in doing his calculations was provided to him by Airbnb, including the interviews with Airbnb “hosts” and “guests.”

Smith confirmed to me that he just took that data as given: “I took them at their word and the numbers seemed reasonable to me.”

What is not included in Smith’s report would make for its own report.

We don’t know, for example, what percentage of the rentals were whole units — houses, laneway houses, basement suites, condos or apartments. We also don’t know what economic impact we would see if they were rented out on a long-term basis; what the social and economic benefit would be if long-term renters were able to fill those spaces and have shorter commutes to work; what it would mean if those long-term renters engaged in community activities — neighbourhood schools, volunteer organizations, shopping at local stores.

The most compelling argument in favour of Airbnb and other short-term rental platforms is that, in a high cost of living environment like Vancouver, people are able to supplement their income enabling them to live in Vancouver.

But then wouldn’t they have the same benefits from long-term roommates?

Vancouver hosted the Re:Address summit, looking at the housing crisis across the globe. That’s where we heard that the likes of Airbnb have proved a headache for cities from Berlin to New York, Toronto and San Francisco. In other words, Internet platform businesses like Airbnb are causing problems in jurisdictions where rental housing is in incredibly short supply.

Those jurisdictions were undeniably caught off guard, armed with what Meggs calls “horse and buggy” legislation. They found themselves up against what had grown to be a multi-billion dollar, highly litigious leader of the pack in Airbnb.

Vicki Been, the Commissioner of the New York City Department of Housing, observed that when the state’s Governor Andrew Cuomo brought in legislation to restrict short-term rentals, Airbnb filed a legal suit against him practically before the ink on that legislation was dry.

San Francisco’s deputy director of housing, Kate Hartley, told me that Airbnb has

been just as aggressive fighting any restrictions that city has attempted to impose.

And, at the same time, she admits that her city was behind the curve when they figured out what short-term rentals were doing to available affordable rentals in her city.

And Toronto city councillor Ana Bailao says her troubled city is playing close attention to how this is playing out.

None of the cities, including Vancouver, think banning all short-terms rentals is where they want to end up. But none of them supports the idea that whole housing units, including condos, apartments, laneway houses and basement suites, should be used for anything but long-term rentals.

In her presentation to council last month, Airbnb’s public policy director for Canada, Alexandra Dagg, thought the council should be more flexible when it came to laneway houses and basement suites.

We have yet to see what Airbnb will do to push that point. @allengarr

Kudos to fired school board

Keep up the great reporting

Re: “VSB fired for good reason,” Nov. 3.

In arguing that the VSB was “fired for good reason” by Christy Clark’s government, Allen Garr argues that the “majority were... more interested in pursuing their role as ‘advocates,’ playing to their supporters and demanding more funding from the province, than they were acting as stewards.”

Couldn’t this be put another way?

The VSB was more interested in representing students, teachers, parents and the public school system than they were in acting as pawns to their irresponsible masters.

As an elected body, the VSB should be commended for “demanding more funding from the government” — a government with a record of antagonism towards not only the teachers’ union but the public school system itself.

By providing a level of funding that could only compromise public education in this city, the provincial government placed the elected school board in a quandary, forcing them to choose between expedience and conscience. To their credit, the VSB chose the latter. Kudos to them.

Remembrance Day

Mystery of Vancouver pilot solved by Dutch resident B.C. family reconnected with wartime heirloom 75 years after the death of a Second World War soldier

John Kurucz

jkurucz@vancourier.com

“Target — aiming point at Bremen. Nothing was heard from this aircraft after leaving base.”

Lifted from official Royal Air Force (RAF) documents, that text recorded the last moments of Henry Law’s life.

The transcript is dated Aug. 18, 1941. Thirty-two years would pass until any substantive efforts were made to trace the final moments of his 26 years on the planet.

Another four decades went by until closure was brought to his family in Canada in August. Law attended UBC and spent his formative adult years in and around Vancouver.

Piecing together Law’s final days entailed voluminous amounts of research, cross referencing and correspondence across generations separated by close to 8,000 kilometres.

The process began, and was bookended, through the curiosity and devotion of Dirk Munk. At 62, Munk has poured countless hours into researching and documenting the Second World War — specifically those who fought and died near his home in Groningen, a city of about 200,000 in northern Holland.

Through his research, Munk discovered roughly

This Ingersoll Leader pocket watch belonged to Henry Law during the Second World War. It was recovered from the crash site where Law died. Law and two of his crewmates are buried in a cemetery outside of the Dutch town Haren. PHOTO DIRK MUNK

6,000 aircraft were destroyed in Holland during the war. He estimates about 500 crash sites with the remains of 1,085 airmen remained untouched.

They are declared war graves in Holland.

For years, Munk has known about four graves linked to Commonwealth soldiers in the cemetery in Haren, a small town near Groningen. The stories behind the Dutch buried there are well known, Munk said, but nothing had been uncovered surrounding those four gravestones in particular.

“The interest in, and the

respect for, the men that fought then is rising, also among the younger population,” Munk told the Courier via email from his home in Holland. “That is one of the reasons that people want these wrecks recovered — the men inside the wrecks deserve a real grave.”

The watch

Last year Munk came in to possession of an Ingersoll Leader pocket watch recovered from a Second World War plane crash site near Haren. While some details were sketchy, it’s believed the plane exploded in mid-air after

being shot by a German pilot: some of the wreckage fell on land, the rest of it to the bottom of a lake.

Munk conversed with divers looking for the plane, an ongoing effort started in 1973. He told them of his research efforts and one of those divers gave him the watch with the expressed intent that it be returned to its owner’s relatives.

The watch came into the diver’s possession more than 20 years ago from the man who originally found it — a fellow by the name of H. Jager who died in his mid-80s more than two decades ago.

Jager lived next to the crash site and saw portions of the downed aircraft near his neighbour’s barn. He found the watch hanging from the wreckage, situated in the navigator’s seat. Law’s lifeless body was found next to a nearby creek.

Jager held on to the heirloom for six decades.

The watch is undamaged and still works.

Connecting the dots

Best wishes this Remembrance Day

Jenny Jenn Kwan Member of Parliament Vancouver East 604-775-5800 Jenny.Kwan@parl.gc.ca

The amount of legwork Munk then undertook was exhausting and extensive.

Through online records, databases, emails, obituaries, census information and official wartime documents, Munk found the names of the four men on board the plane: they were Peter Orwin, George Cowell, Eric Maskell and Henry Law. Maskell was taken prisoner after the crash, the other three crew members died.

Munk connected with family members across the globe linked to three of the four men on board. He hit a roadblock, however, trying to find links to Henry Law. He

found records of the family from a 1921 census, and sent emails to some of Law’s descendants in the U.S. That correspondence dried up shortly after it began and the trail went cold until August of this year.

He then found a church on Gabriola Island that Law’s grandfather built. He contacted church staff, who then put the feelers out with Island residents. Munk contacted the Courier around that time, looking for help in identifying Law’s family.

Shortly thereafter, he was put in contact with Law’s 69-year-old niece Ruby Chapman and her husband Ross. The couple lives in Victoria but has property on Gabriola. Some of the land on Gabriola has been in the Law family for more than a century.

Munk’s initial contact was followed by series of emotional emails and a massive connecting of the dots. Included in that correspondence was the official RAF record detailing Law’s death. At 26, he was the oldest crew member on board the plane.

Cross-continental relationship

“I was amazed to hear from the church that someone in Holland had information and Uncle Henry’s watch,” Ruby said. “His email was very touching and I was very moved by it. There was a mixture of emotions.

When I read the official report of the plane crash that killed Uncle Henry it was very emotional. I cried when I read it.”

Ruby never met her uncle, though she did know some of his story through family scrapbooks, anecdotal information and letters sent home during the war.

Connecting with Munk has allowed the Chapmans intimate glimpses into his life and legacy.

Law was born in North Vancouver, but spent many of his adult years before the war in Vancouver. He studied engineering at UBC and was a commercial fishermen. He tried enlisting with the Canadian military, but was denied on account of a heart condition. Instead, he moved to the U.K. and enlisted with the RAF. Incidentally, Ross visited Law’s final resting place in June, just months before Munk contacted him. He was in Holland on busi-

j ness, but made a point of finding the gravesite.

He and Munk could have walked past one another K and never known the crosscontinental relationship that was about to unfold.

“I walked in through the gate and there they were: these graves were in the most immaculate graves in the entire cemetery — they shined up like stars,” said Ross, 70. “I was just blown away by the care that was evident around this grave site. There was a new garden full of begonias that had just been planted.

This is 75 years later for heaven’s sakes. It’s amazing.”

“I’m very grateful and I feel a tremendous amount of gratitude for the city of Haren for the care and attention that they have paid to Uncle Henry’s grave site and to the other crew,” Ruby added. “It means a lot because it’s such a long way away.

They are being so respectful and taking such good care of his memory.”

Munk is now lobbying politicians in Holland to erect a monument near the crash site, complete with photos of the crew and the plane, along with an explanation around the events of Aug. 18, 1941.

“If all goes well I hope to meet relatives of all crew members when the monument is unveiled,” Munk said. “It means a lot to me, after all I’ve been researching the crash for a long time now. I know for certain that it will also mean a lot to… the relatives of the other crew members of bomber.”

As for the watch, that issue is almost secondary to the Chapmans. The extended family spans across B.C. and Alberta, and if the watch ever crosses the Atlantic, relatives will have to decide who takes possession of it.

“If the watch ever comes over to Canada, it will be another aspect of completion, but for us, we know the story and we can put that to rest — that’s the most important thing,” Ross said. “This whole thing happened completely out of the blue, but we have since learned the whole story. It gives us some sense of completion.

I don’t know if you can call it peace of mind, but it’s a settling experience.” @JohnKurucz

The Hungarian refugees who helped shape Canada’s forests More than 200 students, faculty and family members fled Hungary 60 years ago John Kurucz

jkurucz@vancourier.com

Editor’s note — John Kurucz is of Hungarian descent and related to four of the Sopron alumni.

Alongside 30 classmates armed with rifles and antitank cannons, Antal Kozak barrelled down a stretch of highway in western Hungary prepared to fight against a combat juggernaut immeasurably more powerful than his own.

The date was Nov. 4, 1956 around 4 p.m.

Kozak was in his early 20s and studying forestry at the University of Sopron, located roughly 15 kilometres from the Austrian border.

His home country was in the midst of a two-week uprising against Soviet rule that was on the precipice of total collapse and defeat.

It began on Oct. 23, now recognized as a national holiday in Hungary, when more than 20,000 protesters demanded democratic reform and freedom from Communist rule in the nation’s capital of Budapest.

“It was a very, very difficult time in my life,” Kozak recalled.

The Soviets initially began withdrawing their forces.

Performing in front of more than 55 million TV viewers, Elvis Presley later appealed for donations and peace for Hungary on the Ed Sullivan show.

The Soviets returned en masse to crush the uprising on Nov. 4. On that day, Kozak and his classmates moved south towards the Hungarian town of Kophaza to face the oncoming Soviet tanks. They soon realized their weapons had been sabotaged and none would fire.

The Battle of Kophaza would end up being a bloodless fight without a shot fired. Instead of engaging the Soviets in combat, Kozak and more than 200 forestry students and faculty from the Sopron university fled to Austria. The refugees left with less than two hours’ notice and had little time to gather belongings or communicate with family. More than 2,500 died and an estimated 200,000 people fled. About 37,000 refugees ended up in Canada.

Mass exodus

The implications of those events will be felt on Canadian soil for centuries, and difficult to quantify finan-

Four waves of graduates from Hungary finished their studies at UBC between 1958 and 1961. Antal Kozak, second row far right, went on to be a professor and associate dean of the faculty of forestry at UBC.

cially, culturally or from an environmental perspective.

“We could see [the Soviets] coming and we tried to stop them, but of course we couldn’t,” said Kozak, now 80 and living on Vancouver’s West Side. “I turned around and I started running one way, the other guys started running in other directions. I didn’t even have time to go get any of my things. I had one pair of pants and a sweater. It was time to go.”

The Hungarians lay in wait for weeks in Austria, hoping for some form of Western intervention.

None came.

“It was a total panic,” said Laszlo Pinter, a 79-year-old Parksville resident and former Sopron student. “Everybody expected [the Soviets] to do something terrible, so we had to run.”

In late November 1956, the forestry group sent correspondence to more than 20 countries asking for help. Specifically, they were looking for a country with an established forestry school so their studies could continue.

Canada answered their call within weeks. Then Immigration Minster Jack Pickersgill worked alongside officials from the University of British Columbia, which opened its forestry school in 1951, to arrange for the mass exodus.

The Hungarians began

arriving in New Brunswick in January 1957. By September of that year, they began their studies at UBC. It was an around-the-clock exercise in learning English, transitioning into a new society and honing their studies as professional foresters.

A former dean of the forestry program, Bob Kennedy is the lone surviving UBC forestry faculty member from the time the Hungarians arrived.

“Our faculty would meet with the Hungarians, and I remember when they first arrived someone said to them, ‘It’s a nice day isn’t it,’ and they would respond with, ‘Yes, we like apples too,’” he recalled with a laugh. “Even though they couldn’t speak English at first, it was evident they were very serious about their studies.”

Hungarian influence

The Sopron foresters graduated from UBC in four waves between 1958 and 1961. One third of the 140-plus grads obtained post-graduate degrees, and worked as professional foresters, engineers, biologists, in academia and all levels of government. Kozak became a UBC professor and later an associate dean of the forestry faculty. His son Robert now serves as an associate dean of the forestry faculty as well. Pinter worked for more than 30 years for MacMillan Bloedel, now

known as Island Timber, on Vancouver Island.

At that time of their graduation, skilled foresters were in short supply in Canada. The Hungarians helped revolutionize forestry concepts — specifically the practice known as sustainable yield — in B.C. and Canada because those methods had been employed in Europe for centuries.

Sustainable yield uses a series of metrics and indicators that gauge how long a forest takes to renew itself and the necessary steps to sustain a steady tree harvest in perpetuity.

The practice involves distributing specific tree species, in specific areas, in specific intervals to ensure a constant state of growth and vitality.

“This was all pretty new to us, but it was not new to the Sopron foresters,” said Peter Pearse, a professor emeritus of economics and forestry at UBC. “These Hungarians were comfortable with this and our foresters here were struggling with it. They were very enthusiastic, they were very well educated and they were determined to do a good job.”

While the Hungarians were responsible for the health of millions of trees across Canada, quantifying their financial contribution is impossible.

G.C. Andrew, deputy president of UBC in 1957, wrote in the early 1980s, “I have always looked at their arrival in Canada, and particularly in B.C., as

one of the most profitable immigration dividends the country has had.”

Jack Saddler has worked at UBC since the early ’90s, and served as forestry faculty dean from 2000 to 2010.

He said money is not the metric to characterize the Hungarian contributions.

“Up until they came in, we looked at forests like the cod — we thought it would last forever,” he said. “We thought we could go in without a calculated plan, that everything would regenerate because the forest was just so enormous. They realized if they want their great grandchildren to enjoy the forest, that it had to be managed in a sustainable fashion.”

The Hungarian influence was formally acknowledged by the provincial government last month. The week of Oct. 23 to 29 was declared Hungarian Cultural Week in B.C. to recognize “the role and contributions Hungarian refugees have made economically, socially and culturally to the province.”

During that week Sopron grad and former Vancouver resident Les Jozsa was posthumously given a lifetime achievement award from the Hungarian government for his work in forestry, art and promoting Hungarian culture. It’s the highest civilian honour awarded to Hungarian nationals.

Reflecting on his 60 years in Canada, Kozak has nothing but gratitude for his adopted country.

“Everybody is free. You can get jobs. You can buy any type of food, you can buy a car — I could go on forever,” he said.

“If you work hard in Canada, very likely everything in your life will be beautiful.” @JohnKurucz

During her visit Northrup was welcomed by the aquarium staff, guided through the newest exhibits and honoured with a public shout-out. Although worried her body might not cooperate, Northrup found the strength to do precisely what she had most hoped for — kneel down near the beluga tank to feed and pet her favourite creatures.

Preventing falls takes planning SANDRA THOMAS sthomas@vancourier.com

B.C. Seniors Fall Prevention Awareness Week, held across the province the first week of November, is a good reminder to take steps for prevention and come up with a plan in case of an accident

1 844 603 HOME (4663) retirementconcepts.com

According to the B.C. Injury Research and Prevention Unit, falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths and hospitalizations for B.C. seniors and, due to an aging population, fall-related hospitalizations have been steadily increasing since 2000, for those aged 65 and over. When an older person falls, it can come at a devastating cost resulting in

loss of mobility, a reduced quality of life and, in severe cases, death. And the cost to the B.C. health system is also very high at more than $195 million in direct health care costs

according to 2009/2010 stats.

The B.C. Ministry of Health estimates more than 200,000 seniors across the province will experience one or more falls over time,

Vancouver Coast Health has created a handbook available to download online called Prevent Falls: Stay on your feet. The following are just some of the tips and information included:

CAUSES Typically, there is no single reason why people fall. Instead, falls usually occur when several events happen at the same time, for example rushing to the washroom in the middle of the night, in the dark with a shoe lying in the hallway.

VISION-related falls are also common so make sure to have regular eye exams, use bright colours to mark items in your home, including light switches and grab bars, install night lights and don’t forget to clean your glasses.

TAKING RISKS also increases your risk of a fall, so store items on lower shelves, wear sturdy shoes with non-skid soles and avoid climbing on furniture.

MEDICATIONS can also contribute to a fall if they cause dizziness, drowsiness or a loss of balance.

ILLNESS, both chronic and acute, can increase your risk of a fall. If you’re ill, for every day spent in bed, you should spend three more carefully gaining back your strength.

FREE Crystal Hearing is excited to offer

FEAR OF FALLING Although a fall might damage more than your dignity, you do not have to let the fear of falling rule your life.

Vancouver Coastal Health recommends exercising as a way to gain balance, including dancing, gardening and stretching. It also recommends staying as active as possible after a fall and using a cane or walker to help maintain your independence.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU FALL Take time to develop a plan of what you might do after a fall.

• Wear a personal alarm around your neck • Keep a mobile or cordless phone with you at all times.

• Set up quick dial numbers on your phone.

• Carry a whistle.

• Have a friend or family member call you daily and leave them a spare key so they can get to you quickly.

When 101-year old Janet Shier, a resident of Cavell Gardens retirement community, won the 2015 Let’s Embrace Aging Passionately Award from the B.C. Seniors Living Association, she knew the award came with a $1,000 prize. Shier also knew she’d donate the money to a worthy cause.

Thanks Bruce

I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future.

I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value.

Janet Shier donates prize money to help kids in hospice

Shier is a consummate volunteer who started the

Knitting Club at Cavell more than a decade ago in support of several charities and for babies and children of low income families living in the Downtown Eastside and Mount Pleasant. Shier was also the instigator and main participant of the home’s Buddy Program, which helps new residents settle in and is a regular organizer of the annual yard sale.

To qualify for the LEAP award, a recipient must have made an important contribution to the residents of the community they live in, inspire other residents to overcome challenges and champion social causes.

Shier not only exceeded those qualifications, she also decided to donate the prize to Canuck Place Children’s Hospice, something she did at a special ceremony held at Cavell Gardens Oct. 25.

Exhibit focuses on first-hand accounts of the Holocaust

John Kurucz

jkurucz@vancourier.com

It’s the type of storytelling process teeming with raw emotions and graphic imagery, but one that the co-creators insist must be told particularly to the decision makers of tomorrow.

On display at the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre, Canada Responds to the Holocaust, 1944-45 is an exhibit focusing on the final days of battle in Europe during the Second World War. Specifically, it offers firstperson perspectives from soldiers, survivors, aid workers and chaplains as they realized the extent of the Nazi campaign across Holland, Belgium and France.

“I just feel that it’s an underexplored area that can teach us a great deal about the time and how people reacted to Nazi Germany, how they reacted to knowledge of the Holocaust, and the difficulties in dealing with traumatic events,” said exhibit co-creator Richard Menkis.

Menkis is a history professor at UBC who special-

izes in the Jewish history and Holocaust research. He teamed up with documentary photographer Ronnie Tessler to put together the exhibit, which consists of newsreels, archival photos, era-specific propaganda, copies of letters and other personal artifacts.

Some of the rarest items in the collection came by way of pieces gifted by Second World War veteran Edward Sheppard. He was part of a Canadian unit that freed Dutch prisoners from the Westerbork concentration camp in 1945.

Sheppard kept a diary during his wartime service, which he lent to the exhibit, along with his uniform.

He also lent the exhibit a token of appreciation he was given by one of the concentration camp survivors: a Star of David that all Jews had to wear in the camps to denote their religious affiliation. “When the soldiers encountered the evidence or survivors, they were coming from different places — some of them may have had some knowledge of the Holocaust, some of them may have had no knowl-

Colin Upton’s 24-page comic Kicking at the Darkness depicts Canadian soldiers liberating the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in northern Germany.

edge at all. Others couldn’t believe the information that was coming to them at the time,” Menkis said.

The exhibit serves as an extension of the work Tessler and Menkins began more than a decade ago. At that time they produced a CD-ROM for the Holocaust

Education Centre that was then given to other educators to use in classroom settings.

Their current collaboration built upon that previous research, and archival information was accessed from Israel, Holland, the U.S. and from the national archives in Ottawa. A pair

The 2016.17

of researchers — one based in Amsterdam and the other in Vancouver — also spent time on the project.

Tessler’s ancestors are Russian Jews, though her extended family has been in Canada for two generations.

Combing through horrific images and sentiments as part of the year-long research process was emotionally and spiritually taxing.

“You have a collective feeling for your ethnic history and it’s very painful,” said Tessler, who served as director of the Holocaust Centre for more than six years. “You have to take a breath now and then and take care of yourself and go back to the work because it has a larger purpose.”

While the exhibit focuses on historic takeaways, there are also tangible, physical ones as well.

Illustrator Colin Upton created a 24-page comic called Kicking at the Darkness for the exhibit. It depicts Canadian soldiers moving across northwestern Europe and eventually ending up at the BergenBelsen concentration camp in northern Germany. It

was the first major concentration camp liberated

by Allied forces, and more than 60,000 people were interned there in 1945.

“The thing that’s remarkable to me is how much effort we have to put in to preserving historical fact,” said the 56-year-old Vancouver resident. “When I look at Donald Trump, the conspiracy theories I see on the Internet… it’s very depressing but necessary that we have to tell these stories again and try to convince people that these things actually did happen.”

The comic is given to everyone who takes in the exhibit, and the majority of visitors to the Holocaust Centre are high school students.

“I hope that they understand how we can descend into violent racism, how we can overcome it and hopefully keep our democratic processes going so that we welcome people to our country, we understand them and we help them become part of us,” Tessler said.

The exhibit is on display until March 31. For information, go to vhec.org. @JohnKurucz

Arts & Entertainment THEATRE REVIEW

American middle class unravels in darkly funny Detroit Jo Ledingham joled@telus.net

Written by Lisa D’Amour, Detroit is a scorching, darkly funny look at the unravelling of the American middle class and what the consequences might be.

Somewhere in America — not necessarily Detroit — Ben and Mary’s barbecue (that emblem of the

comfortable, middle class) still works but the automatic lighting device has quit. The patio umbrella keeps toppling over; the sliding glass doors leading out to the patio keep jamming; and the patio deck is falling apart.

The backyard patio party and the bacon-wrapped appetizers that Mary has made for her guests hearken back to a past era when neigh-

bours were neighbourly and dads came home from work, greeted by kids rushing out to meet them in the driveway. Things worked.

Husbands had jobs.

Ben (Joel Wirkkunen), a loans officer in a bank, has just lost his job; Mary (Jennifer Copping) works as a paralegal but she won’t be able to cover the mortgage on their bungalow along a

street of similarly nondescript suburban bungalows.

But Mary and Ben — especially Mary — keep up appearances and invite new, young neighbours Sharon (Luisa Jojic) and Kenny (Aaron Craven) over for dinner. Sharon and Kenny met when they were in rehab for drug abuse but, obviously, their rehabilitation isn’t complete: Sharon can’t keep her hands off Kenny and is an anxious, non-stop talker. She blithers on with a lot of pop psychology about “opening up” to one’s inner feelings.

Jojic’s Sharon is a little bit skanky, a little bit pathetic and she simply vibrates with nervous energy. Kenny tries to keep the lid on her. A tall and dominating presence on stage, Craven swings from keeping Kenny barely under control to letting Kenny offleash. “He’s at zero — anything can happen,” Sharon excitedly tells Ben and Mary.

Ben and Mary are more like us — doing their best.

But she drinks too much and Ben doesn’t appear to be making much headway on his proposed website. Cop-

ping gives us a tremendously nuanced performance as Mary, desperate and fragile as her formerly secure life implodes. Copping looks like she’s made of glass. Wirkkunen’s Ben tries to bluff his way through the crisis, but cracks are beginning to show.

One of D’Amour’s themes is the conflict between our wild and our civilized sides.

Mary and Sharon think camping out will reconnect them to their inherent but suppressed wildness; Ben and Kenny look to a night of drinking and, probably, chasing women. Both plans fail to materialize, but the desire to cut loose remains. Maybe a plain old bacchanalia will have to suffice; cue the orgy.

Directed by Lois Anderson for Mitch and Murray Productions, the performances, including John R. Taylor (as Frank, the owner of the house in which Kenny and Sharon live) are superb.

While it’s true the characters are presented more like caricatures — with the possible exception of Frank — the issues resonate so strongly it

really doesn’t matter.

Detroit is not a play you like; it’s a play that makes you think. Does the thin veneer of civility crack as the middle class erodes? And when that veneer is gone, do our animal instincts take over? These are not new questions, but they are intelligently posed.

Imagining the future can be depressing, but as Frank says, the past might not have been as good as we choose to remember it was. Is nostalgia “just a defense mechanism in a time of accelerated and fragmented rhythms of life and historical upheavals” as opined in an article in the Concordia Undergraduate Journal of Art History (dug up by my savvy guest who reads such articles)?

I remember when nostalgia was respectable. Those were the days.

Remembrance Day

RECOLLECTIONS OF WAR: Patricia Massy (née Nettelfield) came of age during the Second World War. Her experiences were unique but not uncommon — working for British Intelligence, enduring the Battle of Britain and getting married during wartime, before travelling to Canada as a war bride on the Queen Mary with her first newborn in 1946. Courier editor Michael Kissinger sat down with his feisty 93-year-old grandmother on Saltspring Island last week to record her recollections of the war.

From Haida Gwaii to Pigeon Park: Survivors Pole completes its journey Rebecca Blissett

rvblissett@gmail.com

Grey skies hung heavy with a threat of a downpour Saturday. Yet they held off, almost as if the weather gods, if there is such a thing, knew the importance of what was happening at a little park on the Downtown Eastside.

A Haida totem pole was wheeled out of a carving studio on West Cordova just before noon. It was covered with blankets and lay on its back with hands pressed against it as it was wheeled up the street, through the celebratory crowd at Main and Hastings, then down Hastings to Pigeon Park.

Hundreds of people joined those who drummed, sang and cheered as the 27-footlong pole carved out of a nearly 1,000 year-old red cedar from Haida Gwaii arrived at its final home at the park.

All were invited to the raising ceremony of the Survivors Pole representing all cultures and anyone who has suffered from racial and social injustice. It’s a symbol of hope, according to its creators.

Haida and Coast Salish Nations artist and DTES resident Bernie Williams carved the pole with her group of apprentices. Williams, who also goes by her Haida name Skundaal, is the only female apprentice of acclaimed Haida

artist Bill Reid, who created more than 1,500 works in his life. The Survivors Pole is an initiative started by the Downtown Eastside Sacred Circle Society with endorsement from the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh nations. Japanese, Chinese and South Asian survivors of racism, members of the LGBTQ community and DTES advocates were also part of the three-year art project.

The Vancouver Park Board approved $50,000 in funds towards its installation while the Sacred Circle Society raised $19,000 through a Kickstarter campaign. The City of Vancouver, Potluck Café, Portland Hotel Soci-

ety and Vancouver Moving Theatre/DTES Heart of the City Festival were also involved in the project.

The crowd only quieted as workers secured the totem to its hoists. It took several minutes, men in hard-hats and florescent safety jackets attaching and drilling the pole to its base.

An organizer ran over to a small hill where photographers were standing, warning them not to inch any closer in case the pole fell.

The rain still held off.

Then, the pole moved.

It tilted by only a couple degrees, but it signified the start of the raising ceremony. Pigeon Park roared.

One of the workers handcranked the stabilization screws into the wood and their work was done. Their truck moved away and indigenous people moved to the pole and celebrated the first two lines in the poem engraved into the concrete base: “Sing your song, friend. Tell your story…”

Audrey Siegl walked around the pole with its carvings of a thunderbird, raven, bear and whale.

Siegl, a board member of the Sacred Circle Society and Musqueam activist, spoke of the importance of the Survivors Pole. Her voice broke and somebody’s arm reached out and

touched her back offering comfort and strength. “I feel victorious,” she said.

“I heard the community singing, chanting. I heard them crying out… in joy and triumph when the pole started to be lifted. When the crane started hoisting it, you could feel the pain but you could also feel healing moving in. I think — I know — this was necessary medicine for this community and it was done the right way. It makes that medicine even stronger.”

Siegl finished speaking and at that moment, the skies could not hold back any longer and unleashed its torrent. @rebeccablissett

Do you have good hearing but maybe not as good as it used to be?

Many people find themselves frustrated when they can hear, but not understand speech. Hearing loss can develop gradually where people do not realize they even have it and even mild cases can lead to difficulties with processing speech. Fortunately, through Swiss based technology, modern hearing aids can help by stimulating the auditory centers of the brain responsible for speech understanding.

Understanding speech is a necessary part of communication and hearing loss has been proven to limit our daily interactions. Do you rely on visual cues (e.g. reading lips) or are you applying more effort while listening? Maybe you are completely avoiding difficult listening situations all together? If so, these are common signs of hearing loss and it is important to understand the cost of untreated hearing loss. Did you know that untreated hearing loss can cause the auditory nerves and auditory cortex of the brain to not be stimulated properly? The technical term for this is “auditory deprivation.” People who suffer

if hearing aids are put off for too long, it can cause long-lasting speech understanding difficulties.

The new Audéo B-R hearing aid helps stimulate the auditory centers of the brain that are important for processing speech. from auditory deprivation often have difficulty processing speech.

Research shows that the longer an ear goes without hearing, the greater the effect of auditory deprivation can be. Hearing aids may prevent auditory deprivation as they provide stimulation to the auditory nerves and auditory cortex. Further, the speech understanding abilities of some people improve with hearing aids (recovery from auditory deprivation). However,

Auditory deprivation may be prevented for some clients through the new rechargeable Phonak Audéo B-R hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology allows hearing aids to automatically adapt to any listening environment, making it easier to understand speech while providing appropriate amplification needed to stimulate the brain. The rechargeable system is easy to use and provides 24 hours‡ of hearing with only one charge.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to not only improve hearing, but also to enhance the clarity of speech. We are particularly interested in candidates who find understanding speech to be difficult and can benefit from a free trial to see whether they notice an improvement.

Interested people can register for a free hearing evaluation and a no-obligation trial of the rechargeable Audéo B-R hearing aids by calling 1.888.408.7377 or visiting connecthearing.ca/recharge.

On Sunday night, I nabbed a couple of the last seats at the Chan Centre to hear in person two of the rock stars of the so-called New Atheist movement. It was a birthday gift, actually, for my nephew, who is an atheist of evangelical fervour.

The event featured Richard Dawkins, a British evolutionary biologist, best-selling author and apparently a veritable god among atheists.

Dawkins was on stage with Matt Dillahunty, a Texan who was raised Southern Baptist and was headed for a life in the pulpit until his conversion to atheism.

There was an air of selfrighteousness at times, which is understandable among people who know The Truth.

The two men spoke of their frequent interactions with religious people and Dawkins recalled one particular debate in which he and a theist were asked what could change their respective minds. “Evidence,” Dawkins replied.

“Nothing,” replied the religious man.

Dawkins differs from Dillahunty because he is, first and foremost, a scientist. So

his beef is really with creationism. The proof of Darwinian evolution is, well, verifiable proof. Dawkins seems to have come to a broader antipathy toward religion from that basis. Dillahunty is different, but perhaps more common among the atheists I know, in that he came from a religious foundation and rejected it.

They have heard the accusations that atheists can be just as pig-headedly certain of their correctness as theists, of having blind faith in science, but Dawkins neatly discards this.

“It’s not blind faith,” he said.

“It’s reasoned faith.” Science depends on peer review, repetition of experiments honed over centuries to guard against self-deception, double-blind controlled trials and so forth.

Faith consists of believing in something unprovable.

Even if the evidence presented itself, Dawkins suggests he would still be skeptical. If Jesus returned in clouds of glory, he asked, “How do I know if it’s not a very clever trick by Penn and Teller?”

Dillahunty added that, if God exists, he hasn’t given Dillahunty any evidence, so he is left to determine that either God doesn’t exist or doesn’t want Dillahunty to know that he does.“Either way, not my

problem,” he says.

The price of the tickets was on par with a professional theatre event and I can’t help thinking the theatricality might have been better if a defender of the faith had been there to spar. Both men have done their share of debating with religious figures, they said, and there is some value in it, though putting a creationist on stage with an evolutionist, they agreed, suggests that there is equal value to both positions. The downside of turning down such debates, Dawkins said, is that they accuse you of cowardice or knowing that you would lose.

The two were especially animated in lashing out at the term “Islamophobia.”

Dawkins said that accusations of bigotry against Muslims allow liberals to “give Islam a free pass” that they don’t give to other religions for fear, perhaps, of being thought racist.

“Islamophobia is an absurd word,” said Dawkins. “It’s a made-up word to describe this privileged position Islam has in our society.”

Dawkins’ best-selling book, The God Delusion, has not been legally reproduced in Arabic, but an illicit Arabic version in PDF available on-

line has been downloaded 10 million times, he says, including three million instances in Saudi Arabia alone.

After the success of that book, which was released a decade ago, he launched the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science, which is now in the process of merging with the Centre for Inquiry, a New Yorkand Toronto-based organization with similar aims.

A questioner from the floor raised the issue that it is becoming increasingly difficult to address potentially offending topics on university campuses, which could make it more challenging for atheists to make their case. This brought out the brimstone from Dawkins, who noted that the University of California Berkeley, where he started his teaching career, has taken up disinviting speakers who administrators fear could offend members of the campus community.

“You go to university to experience things that might offend you,” Dawkins said.

“To hell with safe spaces.

Grow up, in other words.”

Sports & Recreation VOLLEYBALL | CITY CHAMPIONSHIPS

Churchill wins back-to… And Vancouver Tech back city championships… repeats with second title, too 01 03

Led by star Grade 11 students, Harriet Hess and Sasha Meshcherekova, the Churchill Bulldogs defended their senior girls volleyball city championship with a 3-1 win over the Lord Byng Grey Ghosts at Van Tech secondary on Nov. 4.

The win comes in spite of the Bulldogs playing without core players who graduated last year, said Hess.

“It was really tough team that we played tonight. They are very strong, so all I can do is stop the ball and stop them from them hitting it so hard at our defence and I think I did my job well tonight,” she said. “I owe it to my team and my setter for setting me some amazing balls.”

Megan Chan moved from the libero position last season to start as the Bulldogs setter.

The Ghosts stole a game from the Bulldogs earlier in the season, but the repeat champs grew stronger out of the loss and worked hard to neutralize Lord Byng’s strong hitters such as Katarina Pantovic and Julia Moore.

“They definitely improved, and we have too,” said Lord Byng setter Katie Anne Reimer. “They were both tight games and it could have gone either way.”

KILLARNEY VAN TECH

02 03

The Killarney Cougars pushed the senior boys volleyball championship to a decisive fifth set, but the Van Tech Talismen and their high-powered attack could not be denied.

Star striker Coltyn Liu, one of the top hitters in the province, had 22 kills in the 3-2 win to claim Van Tech’s second consecutive city title in front of a home crowd Nov. 4.

“It feels unreal. The guys fought really hard all throughout the game, so I feel we really earned it. It was a really good victory for the team,” said Liu. Continued on page 30

off balance. Churchill won the set 28-26 and took a 2-1 lead before winning the final frame.

“I trust myself with my serve,” said five-foot-11 Meshcherekova. “I tried to hit hard and hit deep and hoped that it would shank off their arms and it seemed to work tonight.”

The Killarney Cougars beat the host Van Tech Talismen 3-2 to finish third overall. Magee shut out Kitsilano 3-0 to finish fifth.

Moore praised the Bulldogs’ depth. “Nothing is free when you play Churchill,” he said.

Each team won a set, setting the stage for the third, which was the highlight of the match. Tied 20 times, the teams kept pace from the outset. The Ghosts twice battled to set point, but the Bulldogs fought back.

Liu: ‘Whole game a fight’ Continued from page 29 Killarney has come far since the Talismen beat them 3-1 in league play, he said. “The whole game was a fight.”

Ranked no. 2 in B.C. at the AAA level, Van Tech won the first set 25-15 before Killarney recovered and pushed the second set to 27-25 to tie the match. Liu had seven kills, opening with a massive strike that he put straight down two feet from the net like he was boring a hole in the hardwood. But at the end of the set, Killarney gained an edge when six-footfive Cougar Kit Aviso-Mor stuffed Liu at the net. It was the first of two blocks he had against Liu, the only times the Talisman was held back.

“That was my main goal of the whole game, really just trying to block him,” said Aviso-Mor. “Once you achieve it, it feels great.”

Van Tech bounced back to win the third set 25-20 but Killarney responded by winning the fourth set 25-23.

“I’m really proud of the guys,” said Killarney coach Jeremy Westereng, “When you put in the time as a coach, you want to see things like this happen — constant improvement and just that we were able to compete and entertain over five sets in front of a big crowd.”

Van Tech won the final set 15-11 to claim the crown for a second year in a row.

Facing a 2-2 deadlock, the Talismen regrouped before pulling out the win. PHOTO CHUNG CHOW

High speed chase detours into drive-thru brendanmcaleer@gmail.com

High speed chase involves drive-thru

This week’s dumb criminal story takes us to Arizona, where a white Chevy pickup is being pursued by the Phoenix police department. They’ve spotted the driver, realized he has outstanding warrants and dispatched undercover cars to tail him.

However, the alleged miscreant has wised to the cops’ tactics, and is dropping the hammer. He flees out of the city and up the valley, with police sending a helicopter into the air to assist in the chase. Could he escape?

Turns out the suspect couldn’t outrun his taste for the sweet, sweet hamburgers from the InN-Out chain. Pulling into the drive-thru mid-chase, the suspect was caught on camera by the helicopter as he ordered and drove up to the window.

Panic, however, seems to have overcome hunger pangs at the last minute, and the fugitive ended up speeding off before his food arrived. He ditched

the truck, attempted to flee on foot and eventually surrendered to police.

In-N-Out is pretty good, by the way, but I’m not sure it’s worth risking prison for.

Tesla unveils solar roof tiles

From restoring the old ways to showing a new path forward, Tesla showed off their new solar-panel roof concept last weekend. The tiles, which look essentially identical to a conventional roof, are made of textured glass and are capable of harnessing the sun’s energy to charge your home.

Being from North Vancouver, I needed to do some research. Turns out this “Sun” is a large, fiery ball of gas that you can occasionally see in the sky when it isn’t raining. In some parts of the world, so it is said, the rain periodically stops. Yes, I know – I find it hard to believe myself.

Anyway, Tesla’s idea is to combine their roof with their new battery packs (now up to 14 kilowatt hours in size), to allow their owners to operate

completely off the grid, charging their new Model 3s right in the garage without paying a dime for electricity. It sounds like the total package, always assuming everything comes together without technical glitches.

As to cost, Elon Musk dropped the usual optimistic claim plus giant asterisk. “Installed cost is less than a normal roof,” he said, “and the cost of electricity.” This is something Tesla does

on their website already: if you try to calculate your lease payment on a Model S, it gives you a payment based on “after gas savings.”

So, figure it’ll cost more than a roof, but potentially save you money on your hydro bill, certainly so in sunny California. In North Vancouver, where we’ve all grown gills, the benefits might have to wait until Tesla Solar Roof 2.0 or whatever.

In-N-Out burgers are tasty, but are they good enough to go to jail for? One man caught in a high-speed chase apparently thought so.
