Analysis 12TH & CAMBIE

Multi-million dollar civic campaigns could end in 2018 race Mike Howell

mhowell@vancourier.com

Had a conversation last week with two provincial politicians about implementing a ban on union and corporate donations to civic political parties such as Vision Vancouver and the NPA. Exciting stuff, right?

Well, kinda, if you’re into that sort of thing.

You’ve probably heard such a ban is a hot topic at the provincial level, and got even hotter last week when the B.C. Liberals announced that stopping the flow of big money into provincial campaigns is actually a good idea; the party even introduced legislation Monday to make it happen, although it was immediately defeated by the NDP and Greens, despite placing the policy at the top of their to-do lists during the campaign.

But don’t take that dumping of the Liberals’ bill as a sign the NDP and Greens have switched course. It’s a weird week, folks. A confidence vote is likely to come June 29, and the NDP and Greens promise to deal with

a ban on union and corporate donations once their power-sharing government is in place.

Anyway, back to civic politics....

What I didn’t hear during the campaign was whether all three parties were prepared to apply the ban to civic elections. So that’s why I spoke to Sam Sullivan, the former mayor and Liberal MLA for Vancouver-False Creek, and Selina Robinson, the NDP MLA for Coquitlam-Maillardville and local government critic in the last term for her party.

I also received a reply from the Greens on this.

I’ll begin with Sullivan.

“This is something I’d like to see,” said Sullivan, whose new (short-lived?) post as minister of community, sport and cultural development includes being responsible for local government. “I can’t say that will be in the throne speech [my note: it was], but it’s certainly something that I personally would like to see.

We have to go step by step, but I think that would be a very positive direction.”

Mayor Gregor Robertson and his Vision Vancouver team have spent millions of dollars on election campaigns since they won power in 2008. That could change. PHOTO DAN TOULGOET

Sullivan’s position isn’t all that surprising since his former civic party, the NPA, has joined with COPE and Vision Vancouver in the past to pressure the provincial government to make the necessary legislative changes to take the big money out of civic campaigns.

As regular readers will know, I’ve written about this topic for more than a decade. And as the years have passed with no limits on spending or expenses, parties have collected enough cash to repeatedly run multimillion dollar campaigns.

The perception is the

city’s two main parties, the NPA and Vision Vancouver, and their politicians are being bought by organizations and people with deep pockets — whether they be unions or developers.

The politicians, of course, deny such nonsense, as I’ve been told countless times from members of council (past and present).

Some of those same politicians took free tickets to a Bruce Springsteen concert, Canucks games, Cirque du Soleil performances and enjoyed a dinner cruise on a developer’s yacht, all courtesy of financial backers.

But nothing to see here, folks.

Apparently, expense limits are supposed to be in place for the 2018 civic election.

Exactly how much won’t be known until May 2018, at which time the provincial government of the day could have already banned union and corporate donations.

Anyway, before I get to Robinson, some history: Back in 2013, I asked then-NDP leader Adrian Dix whether his party was prepared to ban union and corporate donations at the civic level.

“The principles at the provincial level should be good to apply to the municipal level,” Dix told me. “But you want to work with municipal governments, as well, to see that that happens.”

I’m not sure what the NDP’s current leader, John Horgan, thinks about this. I made a request three weeks ago to speak to him, but he hasn’t returned my call.

The Greens’ press secretary, Jillian Oliver, told me in an email the party wants to see a ban at the civic level.

So to Robinson we go. The

former Coquitlam city councillor knows something about the topic having pushed in the previous term for a ban on union and corporate donations at the civic level.

Now that it is almost certain the NDP will form government, with support from the Greens, here’s a question: Will that ban be introduced and approved in the legislature in time for next year’s civic elections?

“It will — likely,” Robinson said. “We have consistently been looking at doing that.”

Which is good news for democracy and some of those independent candidates who have not had the cash to compete with the party machines of Vision and the NPA. It’s also good news for politicians tired of answering questions about whether their work and votes at city hall are directly connected to their deep-pocketed donors.

I look forward to the next civic election and the rules that govern it, although political scuttlebutt suggests I could be covering another provincial election before that. Wacky times, people.

London Drugs redevelopment will include rental units Naoibh O’Connor

noconnor@vancourier.com

A proposal for the London Drugs redevelopment on East Hastings by Penticton Street is expected to be filed with the city later this year.

Hastings Sunrise Development Ltd., a subsidiary of London Drugs, is working on design plans for the revamped project, which has been anticipated for years.

Few details have been released, although the building will be four storeys and will be anchored with a London Drugs store on the ground floor and residential rental units above. The previous plan was for market condo units.

The move from condo to rental units “takes into consideration many different market and business factors,” according to London Drugs spokesperson Wendy Hartley.

London Drugs owns the land from Penticton Street west to the end of the lot that’s now home to the

Hastings North Temporary Community Garden.

Companies get tax breaks for allowing empty lots to be used as community gardens.

Some neighbourhood residents were upset they lost longtime businesses on the 2500 block of East Hastings over the many years it’s taken for development plans to take shape.

A London Drugs store continues to operate at 2585 East Hastings — a temporary store will open at 2696 East Hastings, just east of the existing store, before construction starts.

Late last year, a vacant building, which used to house a McDonald’s restaurant, was knocked down to make way for the redevelopment.

The previous plan was for a mixed-use project called Alba, but it was shelved in 2013 because of poor market conditions.

Shifting Growth, the operator of the community garden, has been told the garden will be closed Nov.

15, after the September harvest.

Chris Read, Shifting Growth’s executive director, said the original agreement with London Drugs was for a three-year term, so he’s pleased they managed to get a fourth growing season in.

There are 206 garden beds on the site.

“Usually, it’s about twoplus people [per] garden bed but the space is enjoyed by many more members of the community. Thousands of pounds of product have been grown in the space,” he told the Courier.

Read said there are no plans yet about where to move the garden beds, but they have some time to find a new home for them.

The timeline for the London Drugs redevelopment will be determined by the permitting process with the City of Vancouver, but the company hopes the project will be completed and ready for occupancy by the spring of 2020.

Musqueam deal with YVR could be worth $300 million

Mike Howell

mhowell@vancourier.com

The Musqueam Indian Band and the Vancouver Airport Authority signed a 30-year “sustainability and friendship” agreement Wednesday, June 21 that could see the band collect up to $300 million over the life of the deal.

The airport authority, which is a private non-profit that manages the airport, agreed to commit one per cent of annual revenue to the band. Based on 2016 revenues, the amount this year is equal to approximately $5 million. None of the funds will come from the airport improvement fee charged to airline passengers.

Over time, with revenues projected to increase, the total financial gain for the Musqueam could reach $300 million, according to Musqueam councillor Wendy Grant-John, who was one of the band’s negotiators in reaching an agreement with the airport authority. She based the figure on an anticipated five per cent increase in revenues per year at the airport.

Craig Richmond, president and CEO of the Vancouver Airport Authority, signed a 30-year “sustainability and friendship” agreement June 21 with Musqueam Indian Band Chief Wayne Sparrow.

PHOTO DAN TOULGOET

“I don’t think there’s been a revenue-sharing agreement between an airport and a First Nations community,” Grant-John told reporters after a news conference inside a hangar at the airport, which is on the Musqueam’s traditional homelands. “It’s an amazing, amazing agreement for our community.”

While the revenue-sharing component of the deal is huge, Grant-John pointed out that Musqueam members said at a June 20 meeting that employment and protecting the environment were more top of mind.

The airport authority has agreed to provide apprenticeships and jobs at the airport for Musqueam people,

look to contract Musqueam businesses and fund up to 10 scholarships per year worth $10,000 each. The agreement calls for the airport authority to hire a “relationship manager” from Musqueam, whose job will include exploring joint business ventures.

The agreement also spells out the importance of pro-

tecting the land and waters around Sea Island, which is directly across the river from the band’s main reserve in south Vancouver. Some of that work will include restoring and enhancing areas on the land, reducing or mitigating airplane noise and identifying and protecting historical sites of the band.

In her remarks to the audience gathered at the hangar, Grant-John shared what former Musqueam Chief Johnny told the Royal Commission on Indian Affairs in 1913. She read some of his words, which related to the way of life for Musqueam being disrupted and destroyed by “the white man.”

“One person is on my right, one person is on my left saying, ‘I have a share of your lands,”’ Grant-John said as she read Johnny’s words. “And I want those persons to let my hands go, and give me the control of my own land. I don’t want anyone to bother me.”

Grant-John, who is a former chief of the band, said the new agreement “brings life” to Johnny’s words. Her speech moved Craig Richmond, president and CEO

of the airport authority, who said later the agreement will “change their lives, in terms of economic effect.”

“Where it’s going to change us is we bring in their young people and give them a path all the way from education to employment,” Richmond said.

“And who knows — as I said in my speech — where it leads in the decades to come, but it’s going to lead somewhere good.”

Asked why a deal wasn’t reached sooner with the band, whose people have been on the lands for thousands of years, Richmond said: “It’s hard for me to go through so much history. I’ve only been the CEO here for four years coming up in July.

But everybody on all sides recognized that it’s time.”

The signing of the agreement occurred on National Aboriginal Day. “It’s one of the most emotional days I’ve had,” Grant said. “I look at our council, I look at our elders and say this is only the beginning. We are going to accomplish what all of our ancestors wanted.” @Howellings

News Businesses consider future after fire Jessica Kerr

jkerr@vancourier.com

Last week’s massive fire has left a hole in Kerrisdale’s business community.

“The fire is a huge tragedy and a shock for all of us who lost stores,” said Evefay Hua, owner of On The Go Fashion, one of seven stores along West 41st Avenue destroyed by fire.

The fire broke out at about 8 p.m. June 22 on 41st Avenue between Maple Street and East Boulevard. The flames quickly spread, engulfing seven businesses — Tam’s Custom Tailor, Sienna Fashions, Image Hair Design, On The Go Fashion, MagiCream Ice Cream Lab, Petit C Nail & Lash Salon and Papa John’s Pizza, as well as an apartment above Tam’s Custom Tailor.

No one was injured, but the businesses suffered extensive damage and demolition crews were brought in Friday afternoon. Less than 24 hours after the fire started, the buildings were reduced to a pile of rubble.

On The Go Fashion has been a fixture on the strip

for more than 30 years.

Opened by Diane Peotker in 1983, Hua bought the business in 2009.

She said the store had a loyal following and, since the fire, she has been buoyed by support from customers.

“I’ve received messages from clients saying they we hope we’ll be able to reopen again,” she said, adding that she is waiting for more information before making a decision on whether the store will reopen.

“I’ve been there for 17 years,” said Marcus Stiller, who owns Fish Café, one of the adjacent businesses that wasn’t damaged by the fire.

“I know all these people.

It’s devastating. It’s difficult for them. I know what it takes to run a small business… Just to lose it all in 10 or 12 hours.”

Kerrisdale Business Association president Glenn Knowles owns Gem Chocolates, which is just a couple doors down from the businesses lost in the fire.

He said whenever there is a loss of private enterprise, there is an uncer-

tainty whether the business will return. Too often, he said, when small businesses close they are replaced with chain stores.

Knowles added that Kerrisdale’s business community is tightknit and there is a certain sense of camaraderie.

“It is one of the last bastions of small businesses in the city,” he said.

Knowles, who was working the night of the fire, had high praise for local emergency responders.

The firefighters did an excellent job in controlling the fire and keeping it from spreading to even more businesses, he said, adding that two stores suffered smoke and water damage, and about half the block was without power until Saturday.

As for the cause, the fire is still under investigation.

Last week assistant fire chief Ray Bryant said investigators were focusing on a narrow opening between the two affected buildings, where the remains of a charred tree could be seen.

He said it’s believed the fire started on the exterior at the back of the building.

Looking for a solution to Vancouver’s increasingly expensive real estate market?

One listing features waterfront views and lots of space, all for less than $300,000. But it might not be for everyone.

The $299,000 residence listed at 151 Water St. is a 155-foot former naval vessel that has been converted into a liveaboard.

“It’s had quite a history,” said realtor Judy Ross, who has had the listing for more than a year.

The M.V. Edgewater Fortune was built in Victoria in 1954 for the Royal Canadian Navy as an antimagnetic minesweeper.

The vessel was on active duty until 1964 when it was decommissioned. Ross said she heard it was down in Cuba in the early 1960s, around the time of the Cuban missile crisis. In the early 1970s, she added, it was used by Green Peace during protests in Alaska. For many years, the Edgewater also served as a fishing vessel taking tourists up the coast.

The current owners renovated the ship and carved out a new kitchen and living area, including a bedroom and bathroom, but many areas of the ship have remained untouched.

“It’s got great po-

tential. It’s got a lot of space,” Ross said.

With more than 4,000 square feet to work with, in its current state the vessel could easily sleep up to 25 people.

Ross has been in the real estate business for more than 40 years and started specializing in liveaboards and float homes about 15 years ago.

“I’ve had lots of unique listings,” she said. “This is definitely one of the most unique.”

While the price tag might seem more affordable, especially in Vancouver’s overheated real estate market, Ross said the listing comes with its own set of challenges. She said it is difficult to get financing to purchase the vessel, due to its age and the fact it has a wooden hull. Ross added that finding moorage is also a challenge. The location where the vessel is currently docked does not allow liveaboards, so it would have to be moved.

Rondy Dike, owner of USSC Marina on Bowen Island, said it would cost tens of thousands of dollars a year in moorage fees, and finding a marina with the space to take a vessel that large would be a challenge.

Coal Harbour Marina has 330-feet of transient space, but that only allows shortterm moorage.

“It may be a cheap price but it’s not a cheap prospect,” Ross said.

Meet the newest member of our editorial team Courier staff

There is a new face around the Vancouver Courier office.

Reporter Jessica Kerr joined the editorial team last week after returning from maternity leave.

Born in Aurora, Ont., Kerr was 10 years old when her family moved to the Lower Mainland and settled in White Rock.

She graduated from Langara College’s journalism program in 2002 and went on to report for the Parksville Qualicum Beach News on Vancouver Island and the Hinton Parklander in Alberta

before landing back in Vancouver in 2007. Kerr worked for one of the Courier’s sister papers, the Delta Optimist, for eight years before going on maternity leave.

“I am thrilled to be joining the Vancouver Courier,” she said. “I love Vancouver. This is where we have chosen to make our home and raise our daughter.

Having lived in the city for the last 10 years, and for several years before my stints on the Island and in Alberta, I am excited to be reporting on things happening in my city.”

VSB to get $22 million less than expected to hire new teachers Tracy Sherlock

tracy.sherlock@gmail.com

In a new twist on funding that has been curious since the get-go, the Vancouver School Board appears to have lost out on $22 million to hire approximately 75 teachers.

In March, the government allotted the VSB $57 million to hire new teachers to make classes smaller and improve services to students with special needs. Last week, the Ministry of Education quietly announced the confirmed allotments for each district, stating that Vancouver now gets just $35 million.

The VSB is getting $31.4 million to hire 325 teachers and another $3.8 million for overhead costs, interim superintendent John Lewis said in a statement. But Lewis says the VSB asked for more than 400 teachers to meet the restored contracts.

Last November, teachers won a 15-year court battle that went all the way up to the Supreme Court of Canada. The court ordered the B.C. government to reinstate clauses in the teachers’ contracts that ruled how

many students could be in a classroom, including limits on the numbers of students with special needs. Also, contracts contained specific ratios for non-enrolling teachers such as school librarians, speech pathologists and English language teachers. Those rules were stripped out of teachers’ contracts in 2002, in a move led by then-education minister Christy Clark.

The VSB’s allocation is down by almost half of the $57 million announced in March, an amount that seemed absurdly dispro-

portionate at the time.

Turns out it was.

Here’s what I wrote about it in March, in the Vancouver Sun: “The VSB is allocated… about 16 per cent of the fund, despite having only 9.3 per cent of the province’s students. If Vancouver were to get 9.3 per cent of the provincial funding to meet the new contract requirements, it would only receive about $33.4 million, around 40 per cent less.”

Now the funds have been adjusted, leaving Vancouver with just about the amount I predicted.

Negotiations are not over though — the VSB says some items are still under consideration and they are hopeful they will get more money.

Other districts around the province are speaking out that the funding is not enough. The Saanich School District is $1.5 million — the equivalent of 15 teachers — short according to a letter

by Don Peterson, president of the Saanich Teachers’ Association.

The new allotments are a mixed bag — some higher, some lower than the early estimates. The Richmond

School District was originally allocated only $11 million, but now it will be getting nearly $24 million, while Coquitlam was slated to get nearly $17 million and will now get $21 million.

But the VSB’s initial estimate was out by the biggest margin of all — a whopping 42 per cent. Such a large discrepancy doesn’t seem like a simple miscalculation, especially given the historical conflict between the province and the VSB over finances. A suspicious person might think it was done on purpose to avoid news of a budget shortfall smack dab in the middle of an election.

The VSB used some of its allocation to balance a projected $14.9-million shortfall, a financial move that the government said at the time was not allowed.

The VSB argued it could use the fund that way because it was already paying for more specialist teachers than were required. Acting secretarytreasurer Guy Bonnefoy said at a public meeting in April that the alternative was to lay off those extra teachers

THANK YOU! for helping to raise over

51,000

$

and then rehire based on the restored contracts.

The reduced funding does not affect the VSB’s balanced budget; rather it means they will hire fewer teachers.

Now, it looks like we will have to wait a while longer to see how this all plays out.

With the election nearly two months in the past, B.C. is still waiting for its final outcome. By the time this column is in print, the Liberal government may have fallen; however the way things are playing out, it’s hard to predict anything with much certainty.

Given the turnabouts in the Liberals’ throne speech, a bizarre mix of NDP, Green and Liberal platforms including a proposal for a royal commission on education, it seems anything is possible in B.C. politics.

Summer is often a slow time for education, but this one seems rife with potential action and interesting proposals.

Shift to electric vehicles coming faster than you think

Bill Good

williamgood@shaw.ca

My wife and I test drove an electric car recently.

We liked it a lot, but in the end decided range was too big an issue. That won’t be the case for long.

In a column on Perspicacity.xyz entitled “This is how Big Oil will die,” scientist and inventor Seth Miller says that Keystone XL will be the world’s last great fossil fuel project.

He believes it will never pay back its cost and will close not long into its 40year lifespan.

He also said something

I’d never heard before. A conventional vehicle has 2,000 moving parts. An electric vehicle has 20.

Think of the implication that has on car dealers and automotive repair shops.

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration in the U.S. estimates the cars we have traditionally bought are good for an average of 240,000 kilometres.

An electric vehicle is expected to last 804,000 kilometres.

That means a lot fewer cars for those dealers to sell.

Miller believes change

will come more rapidly than most of us have thought. Think what computers have done to our lives. Thirty years ago cellphones were the size of bricks and now they replace most people’s conventional phones.

Today that cigarette box-sized device acts as a phone, phonebook, memory, nearly every kind of communication we need, and can tell us how to get from here to anywhere in the world. It delivers music, movies, even live TV. Many of our kids have never seen a telephone,

or a phone booth, not to mention a record player.

So when you start to see more and more electric cars and the range starts to climb to where you can do the kind of driving you expect from your old internal combustion engine, you wonder how long fossil fuel resources are going to be needed to the extent they are now.

The question Miller raises is how much longer are we going to need or want the oil that is presently in the ground? In my view that decision will be made by investors deciding whether to invest in

Vancouver City Council will hold a Public Hearing to consider zoning for the following locations:

1. 604 East 23rd Avenue (Mitchell Residence) To designate as protected heritage property the exterior of the existing building at 604 East 23rd Avenue (Mitchell Residence), and to approve a Heritage Revitalization Agreement for the site, which grants variance for the site including bonus density.

1. CD-1 Text Amendment - 2423 Cornwall Avenue (formerly 2405-2445 Cornwall Avenue) (Point Grey Private Hospital) (see A on the map) To amend CD-1 (657) (Comprehensive Development) District for 2423 Cornwall Avenue (Point Grey Private Hospital) to increase the floor space ratio from 2.08 to 2.40. These amendments have arisen from the detailed design of the new facility since 2014 when CD-1 (657) was approved. The changes are a consequence of Vancouver Coastal Health requirements for care facilities. The majority of the new floor area is located in the basement levels.

2. Downtown-Eastside/Oppenheimer District (DEOD) Official Development Plan (ODP) Amendments To amend the Downtown-Eastside/Oppenheimer District (DEOD) Official Development Plan (ODP) to enable delivery of priority uses with housing on corner sites, to allow frontage relaxations for 100 per cent social housing projects, and to include a definition for local economic development use.

3. 620 Cardero Street (formerly 1575 West Georgia Street) To amend CD-1 (633) (Comprehensive Development) District for 620 Cardero Street (formerly 1575 West Georgia Street) to increase the overall floor space ratio (FSR) from 10.59 to 10.85 and the residential FSR from 7.86 to 8.15.

4. 870 East 8th Avenue (Red Door Housing Society) To rezone 870 East 8th Avenue from RM-4 (Multiple Dwelling) District to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District to permit the development of a seven-storey building containing a total of 51 social housing units. A height of 21.3 metres (69.9 feet) and a floor space ratio (FSR) of 2.80 are proposed.

5. 4138 Cambie Street To rezone 4138 Cambie Street from RS-1 (One-Family Dwelling) District to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District to permit the development of a six-storey residential building and 2 two-storey townhouses at the lane that includes a total of 22 dwelling units. A height of 20.5 meters (67 feet) and a floor space ratio (FSR) of 2.31 are proposed.

2. Sign By-law Updates (see B on the map) To adopt a new Sign By-law and associated Sign Fee By-law focused on business identification signage to simplify and clarify the sign regulations to reflect best practices, reduce appeals for hardship and be reformatted to be more efficient and user friendly; and to direct staff to develop and undertake an education and enforcement campaign with the enactment of the new by-law.

3. 969 Burrard Street and 1019-1045 Nelson Street (see C on the map) To amend CD-1 (445) (Comprehensive Development) District for 969 Burrard Street and 1019-1045 Nelson Street to permit the development of a 57-storey residential tower containing 331 market strata units, seismic upgrade, conservation and restoration of the First Baptist Church building, expanded church program space and a seven-storey residential building containing 61 social housing units. A height of 169.5 metres (556 feet) and a floor space ratio (FSR) of 11.27 are proposed.

fossil fuel production and transportation.

The other factor is the retail model. I still go to stores to buy most things.

My 30-something son buys almost everything online. His middle name should be Amazon.

Tesla broke the mould with their online ordering and small retail shops instead of dealerships.

Most of us still want do test drive a car or truck.

Touch it, feel it, maybe try out two or three kinds of vehicles. But tomorrow’s buyer may well trust online tests and reviews, and be willing to pay on-

line and pick up the car or have it delivered.

One thing we’ve learned in this lifetime is almost nothing stays the same.

I started this piece talking about car dealers and oil because I’d read some compelling articles about those issues, but the fact is almost everything is changing and it’s a huge challenge for most of us to keep up and adapt. So thank you for reading this in this newspaper, or online on your computer, cellphone or iPad. Let’s hope the desire for news and information will find new forms of delivery.

Like cars and trucks.

Community SUMMER GARDEN: Celsia Floral, Flower Factory, Granville Island Florist and the Social Concierge transformed an outdoor tent into a lush floral oasis and party palace for 400 guests who convened for the Vancouver Art Gallery’s much anticipated summer soiree. Chaired

by Pamela Richardson and Priscilla Lam, the event attracted the city’s top philanthropists and champions of art and creativity to the

pricey $1,000-a-ticket affair that included an exclusive preview of the VAG’s Claude Monet’s Secret Garden exhibition. Eleven of the 38 Monet masterpieces were hung in time for the lush luau that began in the VAG galleries before spilling outside. Attendees descended the grand staircase of the Vancouver Art Gallery to enter the tent assembled to resemble Monet’s fabled gardens.

After a sumptuous din-

ner, live performances and spirited auction conducted by yours truly, $1 million was raised for the venerable art institution. The Monet pieces will be on display until Oct. 1.

SUMMER SOLSTICE: The Canadian Diabetes Association became Diabetes Canada this February to shed light on the growing diabetes epidemic.

Eleven million Canadians live with diabetes or

pre-diabetes. Shedding a spotlight on the issue, the organization hosted its inaugural fundraiser Midsummer’s Eve, staged at the Roof of the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver and sponsored by the CRS Group of Companies. Several hundred guests made the ascent to the party in the sky to support the charity’s effort to deliver on its mission to lead the fight against diabetes. Led by gala chair Cheryl MacKin-

non, and hosted by Riaz Meghji, the elbow-rubber featured a delectable array of healthy hors d’oeuvres, exclusive auction items and a host of inspiring speakers.

The debut-do generated $75,000 from the night of mingling and fundraising.

Monet’s Secret Garden revealed at Vancouver Art Gallery

In his early days as a painter, Claude Monet didn’t have much money.

He embraced the modern concept of train travel — it was the 1860s and ’70s — to search out the scenes that he knew he wanted to paint.

By breaking free of the restrictions of the studio, the French painter helped to revolutionize art, not just as a founder of Impressionism but also by introducing the concept of painting out of doors.

Capturing the landscape itself didn’t matter; it was his impression of the landscape that propelled him. He was fascinated by the fleeting ephemera of light and mood, often painting the same scene at different times of day.

In spite of critics’ early derision, in 1890 Monet was successful enough to buy the house and two-acre property in Giverny that he and has family had rented since 1883.

He set about designing and creating the gardens and ponds that he envisioned as the scenes of future paintings.

Financial independence also meant he was free from caring about what people had to say about his art. (An early patron once returned one of his paintings, thinking it wasn’t “finished” yet.)

Monet kept in his house some of the paintings he loved best — paintings that weren’t put on public display until after his death in 1926.

Those paintings now provide the bulk of the Claude Monet Secret Garden exhibit at the Vancouver Art Gallery (now until Oct. 1).

Although some of his most famous paintings are part of the exhibit, what’s fascinating is the way the collection allows you to experience Monet’s vision of his work

through his own eyes. This is true both literally and figuratively. Later in life, Monet developed cataracts and couldn’t see colours properly.

Paintings from this period are darker with reddish tones — he was painting the colours as he saw them. The success of his cataract surgery is witnessed in the vibrancy of his final painting, Les Roses, which is also the last painting in the Vancouver exhibit.

The paintings are all from the collection of Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris. It owns 300 of his works, donated by Monet’s son, Michel, who also donated the Giverny property to the French Academy of Fine Arts.

The museum’s deputy director, Marianne Mathieu, and VAG’s senior curator, Ian Thom, co-curated the Vancouver exhibit and led a media tour Thursday morning, two days before the June 24 official opening.

“The paintings were done for his own pleasure,” Thom said, noting that more than half of the exhibit’s paintings were done at Giverny. “They really were secret paintings.”

What Monet cared about was capturing light, space and colour, Mathieu says.

“The flower is only a pre-

text for the painting.”

In the exhibit there are four paintings of the same weeping willow, all with different palates. “He forces you to go into the experience as he sees it. You have to embrace the tree — or not,” Thom says.

There are also paintings that, early opinions about Impressionism notwithstanding, really weren’t finished.

Monet was painting until he died, at the age of 86, moving from one canvas to another.

Vancouver’s exhibit includes a room full of paintings that show Monet as a modernist, embracing his artistic freedom. “He’s just going for the gusto,” Thom says.

Perhaps it is his waterlily paintings that prompt the most reflection about Monet’s work, not for their wistful beauty but for their origin story. The paintings weren’t inspired by Monet’s stroll through the gardens, the co-curators say. It was the other way around. The gardens were inspired by the paintings he saw in his mind.

He was a man in full control of his artistic vision.

A Monet exhibit of this scope “won’t happen again in Vancouver in your lifetime,” Thom said.

See Monet’s Secret Garden through his eyes until Oct. 1.

Drummers aim to beat record John Kurucz

jkurucz@vancourier.com

Richard Wong would like to teach the world to drum, in perfect harmony.

He’s going to give it his best go on Canada Day, when he and other volunteers convene at Science World to attempt to set a world record for the most nationalities represented in a single drum circle.

Starting at 10 a.m. July 1, Wong’s ambitious plan also includes simultaneous drum circles taking place in seven other cities spanning Vancouver to Halifax.

“In almost every culture, when they celebrate something exciting and happy, the best form of celebration is to hit the drums to express the feelings of happiness and excitement and that’s how we came up with this idea,” Wong said.

The celebration of all things percussive and Canadian is three years in the making. A federally incorporated non-profit society dubbed the Legacy 150 Celebrations Society was first set up, volunteers hopped on board and the plan hatched.

Alongside a group of other Chinese-Canadians volunteers, Wong wanted to organize a cross-country event that speaks to anyone regardless of age, ability, religion, race, ethnicity or gender.

Drumming was then selected as the cross-cultural catalyst to celebrate Confederation. “Before we are even born, the first thing we hear

is the heartbeat of our mom — this is the sound of drumming,” Wong said. “We are very proud to be Canadian, so we want to be part of a celebration to this very special place we call home.”

According to event organizers, there is no precedent or current record for the largest simultaneous drum circle.

With no starting point to reference, the group pitched its idea to record keepers with the Guinness World Records and the parameters were set: at least 50 nationalities must be represented, while drumming to a pre-planned piece of music for more than five minutes.

The Vancouver event will feature two separate percussive portions. The 11 a.m. jam represents the Canadawide drum circle, with participants using hand-held, portable drums like bongos, congas and djembes. Simultaneous events will then kick off across the nation,

with participants drumming along to “O Canada” three times over — once each for the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic oceans. The final two minutes will be an open jam where drummers can knock their socks off however they see fit.

At 11:15 a.m., the Vancouver group remounts its efforts to vie for the record books.

Wong’s group is still on the lookout for participants to round out the ranks of the 50 nationalities. One week in advance of the record attempt saw confirmed participants from China, Korea, South American nations, Australia and Switzerland.

Those interested in getting their groove on must have a valid foreign passport, attend one rehearsal before July 1 and have a basic knowledge of rhythm.

What Vancouver was like 150 years ago

Jessica Kerr

jkerr@vancourier.com

Today Vancouver is one of Canada’s big cities, but 150 years ago it was a different story.

Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland had just merged into a single entity in 1866; the British Empire previously established the two areas as separate colonies. While the fur trade and Gold Rush were drawing people to other areas of the soon-to-be province, the south coast’s stock and trade was lumber. Two sawmills were operating in the area — what would become the Moodyville Mill on the North Shore and the Hastings Mill, which stood at the foot of what is now Dunlevy Avenue.

In 1867, Hastings Mill was cutting its first batch of lumber.

“A whole range of people were coming to work at the lumber mills,” said Jean Barman, a historian, writer and professor at the University of British Columbia.

“Or people just set themselves down, found a plot of land and started farming.”

Outside the Hastings Mill property, on what would become Carrall Street three years later in 1870, was the newly constructed saloon of Captain John Deighton.

Deighton was a talkative man, known in Victorian slang as a Gasser, said John Atkin, civic historian and author.

“The men that began squatting around his saloon called their informal settlement Gassy’s Town — hence Gastown,” Atkin said.

Gastown became the centre of activity in the area and, much as it is today,

as a period of change for the area.

“First Nations are having to deal with settlers and the disruption of their way of life as the forest is removed and their way of life is upended, and the surveyors are beginning to lay out some of the first surveyors’ marks and boundaries on the land.”

Barman and fellow historian Bruce McIntyre Watson both said the area was a lot more inclusive at that time.

“In general, we had a much more multicultural society,” Watson said, adding that it was when European settlers started arriving that things became a lot more discriminatory.

The area was extremely isolated, accessible mostly by water, until joining Canada in 1871.

“It was an enclave where people almost had to get along because they didn’t have a choice,” Barman said. @JessicaEKerr

was filled with shops and drinking establishments.

“It was a very free and open place,” Barman said.

“It was like a small town…

It was a frontier town.”

However, the area was still primarily forest.

The area’s Indigenous people, the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh, had seasonal village sites along Burrard Inlet and False Creek, Atkin said. People coming to the area mostly settled around the water — in Stanley Park or along Burrard Inlet — and there were some farms farther south along the Fraser River.

The community of Eburne, today known as the Marpole area, was just beginning to grow as farmers settled in the area. It started on the Vancouver side of the river but spread south and became the agricultural centre for Sea Island and Lulu Island farmers.

Canada 150+ events begin July 14 Drum festival, gathering of canoes among highlights of indigenous celebrations July 14 to 30

Sandra Thomas

sthomas@vancourier.com

The City of Vancouver, under direction from Vancouver’s Urban Aboriginal Peoples Advisory Committee — and with permission from Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations — is presenting several Canada 150+ events in July and everyone is welcome.

July 14

Gathering of Canoes Location: Journey from the Sunshine Coast to Vancouver with a landing at Vancouver’s Vanier Park.

The public is invited to witness a traditional landing of the Pulling Together Canoe Journey.

During a 10-day voyage along traditional highways from the Sunshine Coast to Vancouver, up to 30 canoes — paddled by members of First Nations, public service agencies and youth groups — will request permission to land on the traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations.

The Drum is Calling Festival Locations: Larwill Park, Playhouse Theatre, Vancouver Public Library atrium, Queen Elizabeth Theatre lobby and plaza The Drum is Calling Festival is a nine-day, immersive celebration of indigenous and diverse arts and culture.

Highlights of this free, family-friendly and fun festival, include performances by the iconic Buffy Sainte-Marie, Inuktitut alt-country rising stars the Jerry Cans, and award-winning music producer DJ Shub. Plan to visit Cambie at Georgia to enjoy something new every day.

Sept. 24

Walk for Reconciliation Location: Begins at Cambie and Georgia streets. Ends at Pender and Carrall streets Join tens of thousands of Vancouverites to walk together for reconciliation Sept. 24. The legacy of the inspirational Chief Dr. Robert Joseph, the walk will remind participants of the healing and transformational power of ‘Namwayut — “We Are All One.” @sthomas10

WEEKLY FORECAST: JULY 2 - 8, 2017

Integrating traditional pharmacy with natural medicine for your optimal health solution

The focus remains on home, family, security, nutrition, rest, soul and business territory. This week and the next two are a good time to end wasteful, unproductive situations and relationships — and a good time to lay out future plans on a broad, non-detailed canvas. A good time to plant seeds. Sunday mid-morn (PDT) to late night Tues. accents secrets, mysteries, sexual yearnings, financial actions, research and detective work, lifestyle changes, commitment and consequence.

The three weeks ahead emphasize ambitions, career, prestige relations, reputation, pressure, and dealings with authorities. (E.g., now the judge judges.) Chase money, buy/sell, cultivate clients, etc., Sun. morning (10 am PDT) to Tues. night. Mostly, your luck will be good, but don’t count on a partner nor a new opportunity. A sensual affair might begin, but it will not lead to marriage. Errands, short trips, visits, calls and emails, and casual contacts fill Wed. to mid-morning Friday.

Life’s still busy but easy, Taurus. Lots of details, paperwork, errands, trips and communications, but none of it is overwhelmingly important. So proceed, but stay relaxed. Sunday morning (PDT) to late Tues. night brings relationships, small and large. You’ll get along well with Pisces and Cancer people. Yes, you could fall in love, or meet a viable mate. Good opportunities arrive, especially in social zones. But don’t discuss ambitious or career plans: it will trigger negative surprises.

This week and the next two continue to accent understanding, mellowness, intellectual pursuits and far travel. A significant relationship could develop with a foreign-born person, teacher, or lawyer. (Be very wary of entering any lawsuit before July 21.) Now to July 24, you grow more talkative, and receive more information, on the career scene. Now to month’s end, you might start a very sweet sexual affair, or, if married/ attached, find a sweet well of affectionate intimacy.

Chase money, Gemini — it comes easily, if you’re hard working. But it also flows quickly away from you.

So be cheap, bank it, pay bills. If you’re unattached you might have wondered, lately, if this is supposedly your great romantic year, why isn’t anyone chasing you? Well, they/he/she will now, as your physical charms blossom this Tues. to July 31. Be available.

Tackle chores and protect your health Sunday morning to late night Tues. Eat nutritiously, dress sensibly.

The weeks ahead toll the bell of change. This can come through finances (a major investment, a mortgage, a debt-reduction program, an inheritance, etc.) through physical sex, especially with someone new (which creates new bonds, maybe breaks old ones, brings babies and lifestyle changes) or through investigation, crime, research, medical emergencies/diagnosis, or simply through your own need for change.

20% OFF

15% OFF

20% OFF Offers valid until July 5, 2017, while supplies last. Not combinable with any other offers or promotions.

VANCOUVER Your energy, charisma, clout and effectiveness remain at a yearly high, Cancer. Charge forth, be a leader, start projects, contact allies, seek favours, present proposals. Dispatch chores that formerly intimidated you.

You’re filled with intensity and ambition — so much so, that a bit of gentleness might be good. Sunday morning to late night Tues. brings romance, creative and risk-taking urges, beauty and pleasure — take a chance, you’re riding a winning streak!

Relationships fill the three weeks ahead — and thrive.

Your workplace and co-workers grow more affectionate now to month’s end. Talk, especially about “private” areas (sex, money) reveals secrets, valuable financial openings, and ways to grow a relationship. Still, relations in general remain volatile and intense until July 20, so step softly. You might decide to end a link or commitment. Sunday morning (10 am PDT) to Tues. night boosts your popularity, optimism and general happiness.

Remain in the background this week and the next two, Leo. This is a good time to work on legal issues with the gov’t, to apply for education grants/loans, to study the ethics of a recent or anticipated romantic attraction, or to learn more in spiritual/religious zones, whether via books, gurus, or travelling to your favourite ashram. Be quiet within, contemplate your life thus far and plan your future. Above all, snooze, rest, recuperate. Agents, counsellors have good stuff for you.

Three more weeks of work and health matters, Aquarius. Protect yourself against rashes, burns, headaches and too much sun. Much more communication will exist between you and a spouse, partner, or others in general — until the 25th. A streak of romance, beauty or “immediate pleasure” lasts from this Tues. until late month, and helps relieve the general drudgery. But that “drudgery” remains intense and deep until July 20.

THANK YOU TO OUR GENEROUS SPONSORS TITLE SPONSOR

Wishes can come true, Virgo, especially this week and the next two. A doorway to happiness hovers near you: it could be social, popularity, entertainment; it could be romantic, flirtatious; or could be a project that can lead you to your dream goals (e.g., buying a ticket to that South Sea island, or starting a garden). Be optimistic, follow your hopes, visualize the future. (Hint: money wishes or sexual aspirations are more likely to come true than romantic ones.)

Ah, sweet romance! (Which lasts three more weeks, and which, this year, can combine easily with deep sex, and/or with “deep money.” E.g., you could fall for a wealthy person.) Romance, and creative, speculative and pleasure pursuits, remain “hot” and intense until July 20. Until the 25th, work grows more active, conversations jut up everywhere. Now to month’s end, your home and family grow affectionate, your garden bountiful, beautiful.

Automotive BRAKING NEWS

Porsche wants motorists, not mothballers Porsche plans to stop speculators

The first re-sale at auction of the Porsche 911R was covered here previously, as it was notable for the way the car had increased 10-fold in value. The 911R is extremely rare, and thus well-monied collectors were determined to have it. Since the only way you could get Porsche’s peak-performing naturally aspirated engine with a manual transmission, it was certain to be valuable forever.

And then Porsche made the announcement that its GT3, heretofore available only with the PDK transmission, would be available with the same six-speed manual transmission as the 911R. This made more than a few 911R owners a little unhappy with their investment.

The response from Porsche seems to be: they’re cars, not investments.

“I personally like to see my cars being used,” Andreas Preuninger, the head of GT road-car development, told Car and Driver at a recent event. “That’s what we build them for. They are too good just to be left to stand and collect dust.”

Well good. One can

only hope that the current mania over air-cooled models has the same correction, as things have been ridiculous for years.

Honda Civic Si is tuned to go the distance

The revelation that Honda’s new Civic Si makes just 205 horsepower has caused more than a few people to turn up their noses at the once-mighty Si badge.

You can get more power from a Golf GTI or a Focus ST. However, the Si is relatively value-priced, undercutting the competition while still packed with plenty of features.

I’ve driven the car, and while an extra 30 h.p. or so wouldn’t go amiss, it’s plenty quick as-is. As with all Honda products, the chassis is there to make the most of what power you have on tap.

Further, Honda product planners have been quick to point out that maximum speed wasn’t the sole purpose for the Si brand – that job’s left to the wilder Civic Type R. Instead, the Si is meant to offer hundreds of thousands of trouble-free miles. I fail to see how the complexity of a modern automo-

Anniversary

bile with thousands of components is going to be as long-lasting as the simplicity of one of those mid-1990s shoeboxes, but I will say this: the Si is pretty good as-is (particularly in the sedan).

Maybe wait a little while before you crank up the boost.

Speaking of the Type R, the first one delivered in the U.S. is being offered up for auction, with the proceeds to go towards the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. It’s painted blue, and comes with the same

manual transmission and 306 h.p. turbocharged 2.0-litre goodness we’ll be getting over here soon.

To be blunt, the Civic Type R’s styling is not sitting very well with me.

It looks like two anime artists got in a pencilstabbing fight near a large sheet of paper, and

then somebody built a car based on the resultant scribbles and arterial blood spray. To say that it’s aggressive is the understatement of the year.

But perhaps it looks better in person. And we should be happy to finally have the R this side of the Pacific.
