Will big money ever be gone from civic campaigns in Vancouver? Mike Howell

mhowell@vancourier.com

If I were able to get all three politicians I spoke to last week in the same room, then maybe I’d have a more solid answer for you on whether campaign finance reform will ever come to Vancouver and the rest of B.C.’s municipalities. That way I could lock the door and not allow Municipal Affairs Minister Selina Robinson, Attorney General David Eby or Vision Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer to leave until they told me whether rules to get the big money out of local politics will be in place by next fall’s municipal election. Actually, that’s not fair to Reimer, who doesn’t have the power to make those rules happen. But I mention her because she again brought up campaign finance reform at council’s first meeting back after the summer break. That was on Sept. 19. As I previously reported, Reimer has been on the government’s case for years,

Attorney General David Eby, Vision Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer and Municipal Affairs Minister Selina Robinson continue to discuss finance reforms for local government. It’s still unclear whether any of that talk will lead to action. PHOTO DAN TOULGOET

requesting that unions and corporations be banned from donating money to civic candidates and parties. She has had the support of present and previous councillors — from all political stripes — to get this done and more, including imposing spending limits. Multi-million dollar campaigns have become the norm in Vancouver, with

Vision Vancouver and the NPA receiving millions over the years from unions, developers, corporations and the richy rich. The Green Party and others can’t compete with such political machines. It’s even worse for independent candidates. So what news did Reimer bring to council last Tuesday? Well, she told her fellow politicians that she sent a let-

ter to Robinson requesting campaign finance reform. She also said she had a “very good discussion” with the minister. And, and, and… what did Robinson say? “I remain quite optimistic that we might have campaign finance reform — sorry, not that we might — that we will have campaign finance reform rules in place by the end of this year,”

said Reimer, before urging councillors to emphasize the need for such reform if they happen to bump into Robinson or Eby at this week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities conference in Vancouver. Optimistic was not a word Robinson or Eby used when I spoke to them. Last Monday, Eby took questions at a newser on the government’s plan to introduce a bill to ban union and corporate donations from provincial campaigns. I asked him why the bill didn’t include civic campaigns. “This bill is aimed squarely at the provincial level,” he said from Victoria. “We are very aware of the request that’s been made by Vancouver city council multiple times for reform of campaign ﬁnance rules at the municipal level. We are still working on that. I am hopeful that we will be able to address that issue, but this bill will not be the bill that does that.” The next day I spoke to Robinson. Our conversation was more about modular

housing, but I asked her about campaign ﬁnance reform and whether rules would be in place before civic campaigns begin in the new year. “It’s one of the things I’m looking at. I did get Andrea Reimer’s letter and it’s one of the things I’m looking at.” I reminded her of multimillion dollar campaigns being the norm in Vancouver. “I know. It’s the Wild West there, too.” So it’s something “you’re looking at,” I said, but will rules be in place for the municipal election in October 2018? “It’s something that I’m looking at, Mike.” Maybe we’ll get a better look at what Robinson is “looking at” at this week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities conference, where provincial governments have historically delivered good news to their municipal counterparts. Robinson was scheduled to make a speech at 2 p.m. Wednesday, after the Courier’s print deadline. @Howellings

Former mayor campaigns to become B.C. Liberal leader Sam Sullivan promises to ‘end the overdose crisis’

Mike Howell

mhowell@vancourier.com

A former Vancouver mayor and the politician who fired the Vancouver school board of trustees last year are among an increasingly crowded field of candidates vying to be the next leader of the B.C. Liberals. Vancouver-False Creek MLA Sam Sullivan, who was mayor of Vancouver between 2005 and 2008, and former education minister Mike Bernier will face off next February to fill the position left by Christy Clark. As of the Courier’s print deadline, VancouverQuilchena MLA Andrew Wilkinson, former Surrey mayor Dianne Watts (who resigned as a Conservative MP), former finance minister Mike De Jong and Terrace business woman Lucy Sager had also joined the race. Former transportation minister Todd Stone and newly elected VancouverLangara MLA Michael Lee were also expected to announce a run this week for the party’s top job, which is currently being held by interim leader Rich Coleman. Sullivan was first to announce his run and has promised to “end the overdose crisis” in British Columbia and increase the supply of rental housing. Sullivan made the promises in a video he released Sept. 21 to launch his campaign to become leader of the B.C. Liberals. “Today, house prices and overdose deaths are higher than ever,” Sullivan said in the video. “As leader, I will modernize city government so cities no longer prevent housing, but create housing and add hundreds of homes for rental — now empty because of strata rules. I’ll end the overdose crisis, so no one with an addiction will have to turn to dangerous street drugs.” Sullivan said a treatment program that involves giving drug users prescription

drugs would reduce gun violence, prostitution, homelessness and free up emergency rooms at hospitals. His promises will sound familiar to those who remember the 57-year-old longtime politician’s term as mayor of Vancouver between 2005 and 2008. That’s when Sullivan rolled out his trademarked EcoDensity strategy to increase the supply of housing and his Chronic Addiction Substitution Treatment plan to have doctors prescribe drug users with prescription opioids. The EcoDensity strategy led to an increase in laneway homes, but prices to own and rent homes have skyrocketed since Sullivan left city politics. His treatment plan never got off the ground. The plan called for doctors to prescribe legal drugs to up to 800 drugaddicted criminals and sex trade workers in the Downtown Eastside. The cost of the program, type of legal drugs and the number of doctors needed was never revealed. Bernier, who ﬁred the Vancouver school board in October 2016 for not balancing its budget, held a news conference in downtown Vancouver Monday to announce he wanted the Liberals’ top job. “What we’ve heard from British Columbians and party members is that it’s time we do things differently,” said the Peace RiverSouth MLA from the Pan Paciﬁc Hotel. “We have to do a better job helping those in need — those who are vulnerable, and those who are struggling.” Earlier in the day at the same hotel, Wilkinson announced his leadership bid, with several Liberal MLAs, including Mike Morris, Michelle Stilwell and Mary Polak standing behind him. He opened his speech with a focus on the importance of education, job training and attracting new business. “That means we have to

Plans for Casa Mia seniors care facility moving forward

Naoibh O’Connor

noconnor@vancourier.com

Years after a public hearing for the redevelopment of Casa Mia into a care facility was cancelled, the project appears to be inching closer to realization. A revised rezoning proposal was ﬁled with the city last April, an open house was held in June, a staff review is expected to be completed this fall, and the proposal is expected to be brought to public hearing in late 2017 for council’s consideration. Architect Ross Anthony Lort designed Casa Mia, which is located at 1920 Southwest Marine Dr. The 20,700-square-foot Spanish Revival-style mansion’s storied past includes ballroom performances by Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington and Count Basie. It was built in 1932 for George Reifel, a liquor magnate and rumrunner during Prohibition. A previous proposal by the Care Group was slated to go to public hearing in March 2013, but it was postponed unexpectedly the night before.

At that time, the Southlands Community Association had argued the process was ﬂawed and the proposal contravened existing bylaws and neighbourhood plans. After the public hearing was postponed, not much was heard about the project. Then, last April, the Care Group — this time in a new partnership with Vancouver Coastal Health — submitted a revised proposal. The application envisions a 90-bed community care facility with Vancouver Coastal Health funding 58 of the beds. The remaining 32 beds will be private-pay. Gavin McIntosh, a spokesman for the Care Group, said the main difference with the new proposal is the partnership with VCH to provide the 58 subsidized care beds to the Marpole and Kerrisdale communities. He said the Care Group considered comments from the neighbourhood, city planners and VCH when developing the design. “Our new proposal presents a design that respects and compliments the existing heritage home and the Southlands Community

A revised rezoning application for the redevelopment of the Casa Mia property is expected to go to public hearing for consideration by council later this fall.

while providing a care environment of the highest standard,” he told the Courier. According to the revised proposal, the mansion would house about 11 care beds, the majority on the second ﬂoor in the existing bedrooms. “The intent is to minimize the impact on the heritage of the home by using the rooms more or less as they are,” said

I didn’t expect to bring Bella with me.

McIntosh, who added that the ballroom will stay as the ballroom and be used for activities. Upstairs, the living room will be a living room and the dining room will be a dining room. “Our intent is to keep the home a home, in a sense, and have it be used for broadly its original purpose in terms of the living spaces.” The application also

includes the addition of a three-storey building, with two of the storeys above grade. The proposal’s design meets or exceeds the city’s Community Care Facility — Class B and Group Residence Guidelines and Vancouver Coastal Health guidelines for complex care facilities, according to the City of Vancouver. City staff said the application seeks to address the needs of Vancouver seniors and to preserve a heritage building. About 86 people attended the June open house. The City of Vancouver describes feedback as “generally supportive.” Seventy-six paper and online comment forms were submitted about the revised application. Supporters cited the need for new facilities of this kind in Vancouver and liked the idea that a heritage building was being retained. They also approved of the location and the fact VCH was involved by publicly funding beds. Other feedback raised concerns about trafﬁc congestion, pedestrian safety along Southwest Marine Drive, slope stability on the

escarpment directly to the south of the Casa Mia property and lack of consistency with aspects of the 1988 Southlands Plan. The city said a geotechnical report addresses the slope stability concerns and consultants were available at the open house to respond to questions. The city’s Seniors Advisory Committee, meanwhile, supports the project, while the Vancouver Heritage Commission and the Urban Design Panel support it with recommendations. The Arbutus Ridge Kerrisdale Shaughnessy (ARKS) Vision Implementation Committee was also consulted. Jim Hall, a member of the group, told the Courier that at its last meeting there seemed to be agreement with the redevelopment. Hall also attended the open house and said his trafﬁc and geotechnical concerns seemed to be dealt with. He’s also happy that the proposal would see a heritage building maintained and that the southwest corner of Vancouver would get a public care facility. @naoibh

How ’bout them tomatoes

- Meditation Participants

Reason for East Side gardener’s giant crop remains a mystery

Jessica Kerr

jkerr@vancourier.com

Thanasi Stoubos says he doesn’t do anything special when he plants his tomato seeds every spring — the results, however, are a little more notable. Stoubos, who immigrated to Canada from Greece in 1976, has been growing giant beefsteak tomatoes in his East Vancouver garden every year for nearly two decades. This year’s largest weighed in at about two-and-a-half pounds. The largest tomato he’s ever grown was in 2005. That one weighed more than three pounds. His impressive crop was even the subject of a Vancouver Courier story way back in 2003. Stoubos originally set-

tled in Victoria and moved to Vancouver in 1985. He moved into his current home in 1996. He started growing the tomatoes in 1999 after receiving some seeds from a friend in Victoria who brought the seeds from Greece. “It’s nothing secret,” he said when asked how his plants manage to produce oversized fruit year after year. “Maybe it could be the soil, or something.” Every year he saves seeds from some of the tomatoes for the next year’s crop and passes some along to friends. No one else, he said, manages to produce tomatoes as large as his. The 68-year-old maintains he doesn’t do anything special, aside from digging a slightly deeper

hole and mixing some manure in with the soil. Perhaps it’s the location. The plants in a small plot next to the carport produce the largest fruit, he said. The garden has cement on both sides and gets sun all day long. The giant tomatoes aren’t that good for eating raw, Stoubos said. He crushes them down, adds some rosemary, bay leaves and salt, and makes tomato sauce that he then freezes. “I have that ready for winter.” On the day the Courier stopped by this week, he was harvesting the last of this year’s crop, which was late this year due to the colder spring. He already had seeds spread out, drying, ready for next year. @JessicaEKerr

Wetland at New Brighton Park already seeing salmon fry Jessica Kerr

jkerr@vancourier.com

As the saying goes, build it and they will come. After a year of construction, the Vancouver Park Board and the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, along with Musqueam, Squamish and TseilWaututh First Nations, recently celebrated the completion of a new salt marsh at New Brighton Park in East Vancouver. And before the project was even fully completed, chum and chinook salmon fry were seen using the intertidal wetland this past spring. The intertidal zone at the park was filled in to make industrial land in the 1960s. Project construction included the removal of some of the fill to open up the wetland’s east and west outlets to Burrard Inlet, allowing schools of juvenile salmon to make use of the area as a stopover as they migrate along the shoreline on their way out to sea. “This project brought industry together with municipal and Aboriginal leaders to act on this significant opportunity to improve coastal wetland habitat on the south shore,” said Cliff Stewart, vice-president of infrastructure with the Port Authority. “We were excited to see that, even before the project’s completion, juvenile chum and chinook salmon were observed using the newly created tidal wetland as a stopover on their way through Burrard Inlet.” Salt marshes are tidal wetlands that serve as a transition between the ocean and land. They are among the world’s most productive and vulnerable ecosystems. In addition to acting as a refuge for many species of marine animals, they also help prevent coastal

erosion, reduce flooding and protect water quality by filtering runoff. The $3.5-million project is a partnership between the park board and the port authority, in consultation with the three First Nations. “We realize how much Vancouver residents cherish healthy ecosystems and biodiversity and the park board continues to look for more ways to enhance it,” said board chair Michael Wiebe. The creation of the salt marsh is also part of the restoration of Hastings Creek through Hastings Park. Creating the new wetland involved planting tens of thousands of native plants including approximately 25,000 salt marsh plugs, 200 native tress and 4,000 coastal shrubs, and creating an elevated, forested area. One of the other goals of the project was to improve access to nature for park visitors. The construction includes new picnic tables, viewing decks, gravel pathways and interpretive signs. The three First Nations contributed information on their cultural connection to Burrard Inlet. Squamish First Nation Coun. Chris Lewis shared a bit of that connection with the crowd: “In the long ago, there [were] two herons that were fishing here and it was so bountiful that they decided to stay here so they transformed into humans and ended up staying in this place where we are right now,” he said. “So I really want to pay testament to that history that it’s your history as well.” He said the project was all about collaboration. “I really want to recognize the park board and our neighbouring First Nations and our family Musqueam and TsleilWaututh along with the

So you want to liquidate your aging condo building… Some condominiums are now being viewed as redevelopment sites

Michael Geller geller@sfu.ca

Do you live in a welllocated older condominium complex in need of extensive repairs? Have you been thinking of buying into an older condominium complex, or know someone who is? Read on. Although condominium legislation was ﬁrst approved in the late 1960s, it was not until the early 1970s that condominium developments were built in Vancouver. While many early projects continue to provide wonderful accommodation, others have been poorly maintained and require signiﬁcant repairs, often costing more than the homes are worth. Other projects are in locations ripe for redevelopment, making them two times or more valuable as vacant sites. Until November 2015, an older condominium development could not be wound up or liquidated without the approval of 100 per cent of the residents. While a few projects were sold to developers with unanimous approval, many sales did not proceed because one or more residents

did not want to sell. After all, these were their homes. Many were elderly and wanting to live out their ﬁnal days in the apartment they had enjoyed for 40plus years. However, in November 2015, Bill 40 received royal assent from the British Columbia legislature. It amended the Strata Property Act with respect to the winding up of a condominium project. The Bill 40 amendments

resulted in two important changes. The threshold required to terminate a strata development was reduced from 100 per cent to 80 per cent of the strata’s eligible voters. Secondly, when there was not unanimity, the strata must apply for a court order to provide some protection for dissenting owners. Since the legislation was passed, it seems like every older condominium along a major road or near SkyTrain has a realtor knocking

on the door. Increasingly, strata corporations are considering a potential windup and sale. Sadly, this is also causing major strife between those wanting to sell, and those wanting to stay. Increasingly, legal ﬁrms are specializing in this aspect of property law. In March 2017, the B.C. Supreme Court approved the ﬁrst sale of a condominium complex. Although owners of two of the building’s 30 units previ-

ously voted against selling the building, no one was in court to oppose the sale. I’m told another 10 projects are now going through the court process. However, in some cases, the dissenting owners are hiring their own lawyers to challenge the majority decision. A key issue for many owners is how the proceeds from a sale will be distributed. Three different formulas could apply depending on when the project was built. They are unit entitlement, interest on destruction, or B.C. Assessment valuation. A strata corporation may also create its own custommade formula through unanimous vote. Unit entitlement is the number assigned to each strata lot that determines its share of common property and assets, and is used to calculate strata fees and special levies. It is generally based on size, not value. However, if a project was developed in the 1970s, this is the formula that was used to distribute proceeds if a building burned down. For those projects developed in the 1980s or 1990s, prior to registration of the strata plan, a schedule of “Interest on destruction”

was prepared. This set out the value of a strata unit compared to the whole building, usually based on its initial sales price in relation to the total sales prices. For more recent projects developed under the current Strata Property Act, B.C. Assessment values are to be used to determine each unit’s share of the proceeds in the event a building is destroyed. However, there is a problem using B.C. Assessment’s valuations, since for many projects, they have been found to be skewed and inconsistent. Furthermore, since so many condominium projects are now being viewed as redevelopment sites, B.C. Assessment no longer values their units based on current use. Rather, they are valued as part of a future vacant redevelopment site. Consequently, property taxes are rising signiﬁcantly, even though the buildings may need extensive repairs. While many planners, realtors, and developers may view this as a good thing, it is not for those wanting to stay in their homes. It’s time for a public conversation on this. @michaelgeller

Activist organizations more concerning than big money in B.C. politics Critics mislabel B.C. election campaign ﬁnancing as the ‘Wild West’ Mike Klassen

mike@mikeklassen.net

Of all the tin-pot democracies in the world beset by corruption and influence peddling, which one do you think Canada’s newspaper of record recently described as “political-fundraising anarchy,” lacking a “basic level of morality to fundraising” and where businesses “stand to benefit financially” in a place where political parties work “for those that pay them” and “blithely intimate access” to elected officials. If you guessed British Columbia and not Bolivia or the Republic of the Congo, give yourself a gold star. The phrases were used in the Globe and Mail’s harshly critical Sept. 19 editorial, the day after new legislation was tabled by the B.C. NDP government to put new limits on election campaign financing. B.C., you see, is being portrayed as the “Wild West” where “big money” has reigned supreme. Or at least that is what we are led to believe because of a New

York Times piece written by reporter Dan Levin. And who did the New York Times cite to reach this conclusion? His sources included an advocacy organization named Democracy Watch, whose founder is Duff Conacher. Like many, I have puzzled over who funds and operates political groups like Democracy Watch. Given the lack of information on the organization’s website, I emailed Conacher, who responded to my questions regarding his organization’s ﬁnancial backers and advisory team. I failed to learn who are Democracy Watch’s ﬁnancial backers, other than they get some money through online crowdfunding websites where donor names are made available. Conacher did provide me, however, with an explanation on the rules regarding revealing donors to third party groups (in short, there are few). In his Times’ article, Levin also quotes Dermod Travis, representative of another political watchdog dubbed IntegrityBC. I requested

Columnist Mike Klassen takes umbrage with the media’s depiction of election campaign financing in B.C. PHOTO REBECCA BLISSETT

the same information from Travis and he, too, responded, though by sending links to six-year-old articles in the Globe and Mail and the long-retired Public Eye Online political blog. What I gleaned from this communication is that Travis is IntegrityBC’s sole contractor and is paid by a business person named Wayne Crookes, who himself was previously involved

in party politics some time ago. Crookes — who publicly complained that B.C. politics lacks “integrity” — once ran a campaign for the Green Party of Canada. It strikes me that neither of the two most-often sourced critics of election ﬁnance in British Columbia are themselves pillars of accountability. Yet they both provided the foundation for a highly critical examination of B.C.’s

election finance rules by the New York Times, which in turn has been cited countlessly by local media since it was published. If journalists and pundits are going to claim B.C. politics has actually been corrupted by political donations, then one would hope a little more rigour around the subject is merited. At the very least, we should show where “intimate access” to a B.C. politician gained through a donation has resulted in a financial benefit. Instead what we get are opinions about our political system being “vulnerable to corruption.” The rhetoric is reminiscent of a Trump campaign pledge to “drain the swamp” in Washington, D.C., which from my perspective is not working out too well. It is not only media critics who have characterized our political system as vulnerable to corruption. Politicians themselves insinuate that big donations will skew decisions around policy. While it became a convenient ballot question dur-

ing the 2017 B.C. election, should one surmise that the politician who accuses his or her opponent of being swayed by big money will themselves be influenced by donors? It strikes me as not only being a self-defeating accusation, it will only breed more cynicism about our politics, especially among young voters. Where I see Canada’s political system continuing to be vulnerable when it comes to the influence of money are the dollars being poured across the border by activist organizations. These groups, in turn, fund campaigns that are outwardly and brazenly aiming to influence the outcome of our elections. For others, however, the size of the donations is the big concern. Either way, we can have a public discourse about how we raise funds for election campaigns without buying into the narrative that our system lacks checks and balances to prevent the overt influence of political donations. @MikeKlassen

Community Knitter extraordinaire named this year’s Lifetime Volunteer of the Year

Jessica Kerr

jkerr@vancourier.com

If your baby was born at a hospital in the Lower Mainland, there’s a good chance he or she could have left the hospital wearing a hat, or wrapped in a cozy blanket, knitted by Janis Waller. Waller was named the Lifetime Volunteer of the Year at this year’s Lifetime Seniors Talks + Tables event, presented by the Vancouver Courier and St. Paul’s Foundation. The 70-year-old knits with ﬁve different groups in Vancouver and Burnaby, and donates many tiny toques to local hospitals. This year alone she has knit and donated more than 200 baby hats to St. Paul’s Hospital, with each hat taking about an hour and a half to create. In addition to knitting the hats, she also delivers them, as well as ones knitted by other volunteers, to the hospital. “I saw how much the nurses appreciated them,” she said. A self-described “Air Force brat,” Waller was born in Montreal, but her family moved frequently

as her father served in the military. The family settled in Burnaby in 1959, when Waller was 12, and she now lives in Yaletown. She learned to knit at the age of eight when the family was living in Winnipeg. She said she took it up for a few years and even joined an after school knitting club but dropped the hobby for several years before picking up knitting needles again in her 20s.

Armed with her transit pass and a knitting project, Waller spends many hours travelling all over the Lower Mainland, going to thrift shops to look for good, but inexpensive, balls of yarn or hand-knitted items that can be recycled into usable yarn to make baby hats and blankets, scarves, mittens, ﬁngerless gloves and toques. She calls herself a “yarn broker” because she loves

unravelling sweaters, washing, rewinding and repurposing the yarn. “She is always willing to share her yarn stash with anyone who needs a ball or two for their projects,” Linda Hull said in nominating Waller. “I can think of only three things that she has ever knit for herself.” Waller is an active member of the St. James Anglican Church where, in

addition to singing in the choir, she helps organize the biannual rummage sales and, of course, knits many items for the sales that benefit the work the church does with residents of the Downtown Eastside. When Waller became a senior, she joined the Oakridge Seniors’ Centre where she first volunteered as the bookkeeper and later organized regular knitting and crocheting meetings at the centre where she helps many of the members with their projects. Together the group knits numerous items for the centre’s spring and fall bazaars that raise money to support various seniors’ activities. Through her work at the seniors’ centre, Waller is a member of the West Coast Knitters’ Guild, which knits items for various charitable projects, including Christmas sales that benefit Nova House in Richmond, which runs a safe house for women and children fleeing abusive situations; and the Purple Hat Campaign, which endeavours to give a purple baby hat to every new mother leaving the maternity ward in October and November to raise

awareness about shaken baby syndrome. Now every purple ball of yarn Waller gets her hands on is knit into a baby hat. She was one of the ﬁrst to join Knit 2gether, a knitting group at the Tommy Douglas library in Burnaby where she helps teach attendees how to knit and crochet. The group also knits for the Itty Bitty Blanket Campaign, making blankets for babies in the neonatal intensive care units at St. Paul’s Hospital and Royal Columbian Hospital. As well, she has knit blankets for Project Linus, which provides comfort blankets for critically ill children. In addition to her volunteer work, in recent years Waller has helped look after her parents and in-laws. She’s also always there to visit and shop for friends, if they are hospitalized or housebound. Hull wrote in her nomination: “As the saying goes, ‘If you need something done, ask a busy person.’ Janis is that busy person. She extends herself whenever and wherever she can and does so with joy and laughter.” @JessicaEKerr

Vancouver archives’ digital dump of 1978 and 1986 images Michael Kissinger

mkissinger@vancourier.com

Vancouver heritage junkies, local history buffs and nosy neighbours, your cries have been heard. In an ambitious undertaking, staff at the City of Vancouver Archives have been busy digitizing nearly 7,000 black-and-white 35mm negatives — taken in 1978 and 1986 as part of two separate heritage surveys — for the public to access, ogle

and explore online. It’s a treasure trove of images, documenting thousands of Vancouver heritage homes at a time when few considered a house’s heritage. According to city archivist Heather Gordon, the archives has been digitizing its photographic holdings since 1997, mostly through grants and donations from groups such as Friends of the Vancouver City Archives. Digitizing the heritage inven-

tory from 1978 and 1986 is part of the archives’ 2017 grant from the B.C. History Digitization Program. “[The heritage inventory] was next on our list — some really cool photographs from the city where we held copyright, so we could easily put them online and make them available for folks to use and reuse,” Gordon says. There are approximately 6,900 images in all — a third are from 1978, and two

thirds were taken from 1985 and 1986, when the Vancouver Heritage Advisory Committee hired work students to take photos and document pre-1950s homes and structures around the city. While the 1978 survey focused solely on houses, the 1986 survey was expanded to include monuments, churches, community centres and lots. According to archivist Kristy Waller, the work students tried using cars at

first, but traffic and parking proved difficult. Apparently some things never change. “So they used bicycles,” she says. “They would go around [taking photos] and record the frame numbers and the addresses. And then go back and classify all the houses, regarding materials used and styles… They were looking for kind of unique houses and also ones that hadn’t been altered.” The photos depict a rarely documented side of Vancouver, decades before social media and Google Street View, when the city was smaller, lower in height and far less populated. Streets were a little rougher around the edges and beat-

shows rarely seen side of city of the century building as an old building and not necessarily as an architectural piece of heritage,” says Gunn, adding that the 1978 heritage survey was likely a precursor to the Vancouver Heritage Register and the heritage movement as a whole. “Surprisingly, a lot of the structures still exist, obviously in augmented form,” Gunn says. “What really stood out for me was how many structures hadn’t been updated from their original form, where you could still tell the paint, if it was even there, had long ago disappeared. Even the well-kept houses were quite original in their form, which is quite different from what you see now, where they’re either gone or they’ve been fully restored so they are in pristine condition.” Gunn says he has already spent hours online going down the digital rabbit hole of the heritage survey — what he describes as “a black hole of time” — and has high praise for the archives’ digitizing efforts. “The CVA is such an extremely valuable resource,” Gunn says. “And I think Vancouver is so lucky to

It’s a large dump of images, but a small fraction of the 1.6 million photographs the archives has in its holdings. By the end of this project, Gordon says the archives will have put close to 125,000 objects online. “We’re probably one of, if not the largest users of city IT

storage. Many, many tens of terabytes of digital storage for our digital archives.” Speaking of digital archives, Gordon says there’s another benefit to putting so many photos of heritage homes online. “You never know what you’re going to find,” she says. “You might find one of the places on the list or maybe just the property and be like, ‘Your condo is now sitting where this house once stood.’” Images from the heritage surveys can be found at searcharchives.vancouver.ca.

Community OBITUARY

Longtime coach and volunteer remembered for dedication to sport Jessica Kerr

jkerr@vancourier.com

A ﬁxture of the city’s amateur sports scene will be celebrated this week. Longtime coach, referee and all-around volunteer Dick Layzell died suddenly at home on July 4 at the age of 76. Originally from Bellingham, Layzell moved to Vancouver in the mid1960s after graduating from Western Washington University. He taught physical education at Point Grey secondary and coached basketball and rugby. He left teaching in 1970 and spent the rest of his career in the insurance industry, but he continued volunteering with local sports. He coached and refereed rugby with Point Grey, Magee and Prince of Wales high schools, as well as with the Meraloma Club teams, for several decades. He was on the 1966 B.C. men’s team that defeated the British Lions 8-3 in a match that’s been described as “one of the most brilliant rugby matches in Canadian rugby history.” The team was inducted into the B.C. Rugby Hall of Fame in 2006. He also volunteered as a league organizer with the Canadian and Vancouver

A celebration of life for Dick Layzell is scheduled for Sept. 29 at 4 p.m. at the Meraloma Clubhouse.

Junior Rugby League. Layzell played throughout his life until an Achilles injury at the age of 60. Rugby was not his only sport. He was an in-demand windmill pitcher — playing mostly for Meraloma but was also brought in by other fastpitch teams, mainly CPAir, to pitch in tournaments. He was also heavily involved with Dunbar Little League, volunteering as ﬁeld coordinator and T-ball organizer, and helped obtain many new diamonds for the league. And, along with Barry Holden, established the West Side Wildcats girls’ team and league.

He also volunteered with the Vancouver Park Board for a number of years as a member of the Vancouver Field Sport Federation, which works with the park board and staff to develop, maintain and schedule the use of sport field facilities. The federation works as an advocate for field sports in the city, maintaining communication with the park board on issues around field maintenance as well as creating a vision for the future of facilities and usage. He was instrumental, along with May Brown, in introducing the idea of artificial turf to the park board after seeing it on a rugby tour of Holland. In 1988 he was awarded a Canada Volunteer Award, recognizing his years of volunteer work. Layzell is survived by wife Tanis, daughter Andrea and son Jay. A celebration of life is scheduled for Sept. 29 at 4 p.m. at the Meraloma Clubhouse. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations in his honour to KidSport B.C., which helps give all children the opportunity to participate in organized sport. Donations can be made online at kidsportcanada.ca/ british-columbia/donation.

Jane Young created B.C. Cancer Foundation’s Hope Couture fashion show and luncheon. In four years, the event has raised nearly $3.5 million for life saving cancer research and treatment. RAISING HOPE: Kicking off the fall fundraising season, more than 400 guests attended B.C. Cancer Foundation’s fourth annual Hope Couture fundraiser. Staged at the Rocky Mountaineer Station, this year’s sold-out fashion show and luncheon beneﬁted ovarian cancer research. A stylish $600,000 was raised from the London Calling-themed, Lazy Gourmet-catered affair, led by gala chair Janet Hiebert and hosted by Global TV’s Chris Gailus. For their generosity, supporters were royally rewarded with a fashion show orchestrated by Vancouver boutique retailers Bacci’s and Boboli, debuting fall and winter collections of Chloé, Valentino, Stella McCartney, Giambattista Valli and other global fashion houses.

KUDOS & KVETCHES

To mark Yom Kippur, we atone for our lameness In honour of Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, which this year begins the evening of Sept. 29 and ends the evening of Sept. 30, and indeed in honour of atonement rituals in religions everywhere, K&K revives its yearly atonement series, begging forgiveness for past mistakes, misdeeds, egregious errors in judgment and moments of all around douchiness. Once again, we’re sorry. ••• Several months ago, we went out for drinks with several friends and imbibed three delicious alcoholic beverages. Were the drinks delicious on their own or because they contained alcohol? Sadly, probably the latter. However, when the bill arrived we noticed our tab only included two of the three drinks we had downed like a champion, while the other drink had mistakenly been put on our friend’s tab. When the waitress came around with the Interac machine, did we notify her of her mistake and pay for all the drinks we consumed? No, we did not.

A19

The members of K&K would like to take this moment to apologize for their cheap, petty and passive ways.

Instead we quickly pulled out our credit card to be the ﬁrst to pay, and justiﬁed our deceitful actions by making a mental note of all the drinks we had provided our friend in the past while hosting get-togethers, dinners and the like. When it came time for our friend to pay, he scrutinized his bill, noticed the extra drink, told the waitress she had made a mistake and asked the table if anyone was missing a drink from their bill. At this point we feigned confusion, reassessed the bill and “discovered” that we hadn’t paid for one of our drinks.

Since we had already paid, and to avoid further hassle, our friend kindly told the waitress to keep the drink on his tab and we’d “ﬁgure it out later.” We have never brought it up again. Sorry, friend, for knowingly and passively letting you pay for a drink we should have paid for ourselves. Sorry, waitress, for not bringing the mistake to your attention right away, and instead letting it become a far bigger ﬁasco than was necessary and, in turn, magnifying the mistake so it involved the entire table and perhaps made you feel worse. Sorry,

self, for being so petty and cheap, because in the end the guilt for our dishonesty lingered far longer than any ﬁnancial savings of not paying for a drink, which went straight to our increasingly chubby belly anyway. ••• There are times when one of our siblings will annoy us. But instead of telling them directly, we will casually mention the thing that annoys us to our mother. We do this knowing full well that our mother will at some point be in contact with our siblings and, in a roundabout way, address the thing that is annoying us to them. Our siblings will then phone us and, although neither of us will address the thing we ﬁnd so annoying, they will make amends in some unspoken way and all will be better. Sorry, siblings, for not directly addressing our misgivings like an adult and instead employing a third party to broker a resolution. Sorry, mom, for using you as a pawn in our relationship with our siblings, even though deep down we think you enjoy it. @KudosKvetches

Grandview Lanes keeps on rolling after seven decades John Kurucz

CAMERON & COMPANY

jkurucz@vancourier.com

Births, deaths, marriage, life-long friendships and all the minutiae that happens somewhere in the middle — for 70 years, the Marino family has had front-row seats to virtually all of life’s colours and cycles. The owners of Grandview Lanes are in the midst of a month-long celebration of seven decades in business on the same plot of land on Commercial Drive and Sixth Avenue. Ebbs and flows in popularity, sky-high land prices and Netflix be damned, family patriarch George Marino says his business’s endearing popularity is pretty simple to explain. “Bowling is practically recession proof because it’s very affordable and people can come do it at their leisure,” he said. At 80, Audrey Jerome has been bowling at Grandview Lanes since it first opened in 1947. She’s at the alley on the day the Courier visits along with a dozen or so women in their 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s who play in a league called the Classics. They’ve been bowling together every Wednesday for roughly 35 years. “I’ll bowl until they tell me I can’t do it, until they come and get me or something happens where I physically can’t do it anymore,” Jerome said. Ditto for Jean Macpherson. At 90, she’s the oldest in the group and has bowled at Grandview for 55 years. She cut her teeth in ladies leagues when all 20 lanes in the building were full of her counterparts. Now, they take up maybe four or five at most. “A lot of the people we’ve bowled with have passed on,” Macpherson said.

“And we don’t bowl as well as we used to.” At 79, Margaret Perkins is one of the babies in the bunch. She recalls the days when the pin furthest to the left in a ﬁve-pin setup had to be knocked down, or no scores would be recorded. Those rules were abandoned at least 30 or 40 years ago. “The appeal is in the friends and it’s the people you meet over time,” she says. The second-oldest bowling alley in Vancouver after Commodore Bowling and Billiards was the brainchild of Louis Marino. Louis’s death in 1969 prompted his son George to ditch his accounting gig in Toronto and return home. He’s been at it ever since alongside his wife Lorraine, both of whom are 75, and daughter Tammy, who now runs the day-to-day operations. The bowling gospel, according to Tammy, is as follows: “Wear your bowling

shoes. Keep your food and drinks off the lane. Stay behind the line and try not to throw the ball up in the air,” she said. George and his mother lived in an upstairs suite long before it was converted into lanes. His bedroom window overlooked lane 17, where he was the de facto pinsetter for much of his youth. Women ran the place by day, and free babysitting was offered. At that time, playing a game cost three cents and George was setting pins by the age of six. Tammy, too, was raised on the lanes. “A lot of days, my dad would say, ‘Guess what George, you ain’t going to school today.’ So I got used to it. I had to do it,” he said. The Marinos have learned to roll with the punches in order to stay aﬂoat. Gone are the days when leagues were the primary source of income. The focus today is less on sport and more on entertain-

ment. Enter liquor, black light bowling, Big Lebowski and Kingpin theme nights and birthday parties out the wazoo — somewhere in the range of 600 to 700 a year. That emphasis on entertainment has drawn the likes of Sarah McLachlan, k.d. lang, heavy metal band Steel Panther and players from every major sports team in Vancouver. The Toronto Raptors stopped in years ago, and that was the last time a size 17 shoe — the biggest in the rental inventory — was loaned out. Tammy, however, will not disclose which celebs have tanked or triumphed. “We don’t pay attention to peoples’ scores,” she said with tongue in cheek. The property itself has certainly drawn its fair share of attention. Developers come calling all the time, though George is having none of it. “The thing is, it’s a family business,” he said. @JohnKurucz

There’s a riot going on at Museum of Vancouver More than a century’s worth of protests, riots and activism featured in City on Edge exhibit John Kurucz

jkurucz@vancourier.com

Affordable housing, gay rights, foreign policy, pot and even other protesters. Indeed, Vancouverites love a good protest. And even the odd riot, too. A century’s worth of that political history plays out beginning today (Thursday, Sept. 28) as part of a new exhibit at the Museum of Vancouver called City on Edge: A Century of Vancouver Activism. Spanning events from 1907 to present day, the exhibit consists of 650 photographs taken from the archives of the Vancouver Sun and Province. “I tried to represent the broadest possible spectrum of protests from people on both sides of issues — there are protests by women for abortion and against abortion, there are picketers picketing picketers,” said exhibit co-curator Kate Bird, a retired Paciﬁc News Group librarian. The exhibit consists of

still photos, videos, projections and the unmistakable sound of protest — voices, drums, chants, explosions and rallying cries. It’s an extension of Bird’s 2016 book Vancouver in the Seventies, though the exhibit follows themes — labour, social justice and riots, for example — rather than the chronological style found in Bird’s book. Bird and co-curator Viviane Gosselin purposely selected made-in-Vancouver protests and scenes: the anti-Asian race riot of 1907, the 1971 Gastown Riot, last year’s Kinder Morgan protests and, of course, the city’s regrettable past dealing with losing big-time hockey games. “Because of the content, we want it to be overwhelming at times, we want it to be dramatic,” said Gosselin, who serves as the museum’s director of collections and exhibitions. “It should be because this is about these big, transformative moments.” Other protest movements that aren’t inherently speciﬁc

to Vancouver are also included: Clayoquot Sound in the early ’90s, or immigrants protesting government policies in their native countries where they’d be persecuted or even killed for doing so. Getting access to a treasure trove of photos

normally protected by copyright and usage fees was a coup for the museum. Bird got buy-in from Sun editor Harold Munro for her book last year, and that agreement carried over to the current museum exhibit. Those photos would have

cost somewhere in the thousands of dollars otherwise. Roughly 40 photographers are represented in the exhibit, with Bird’s favourite — at least in name — being former Province shutterbug Huxley Lovely. “There is no one speciﬁc

proﬁle type of a photographer,” Bird said. “But they’re very competitive and they’ve always been very competitive to try and get their shot on the front [page].” The 2011 Stanley Cup riot comes up in conversation almost as a matter of course, but also because of its place in the city’s history. The images are striking, shocking and in some cases, just plain stupid. “Obviously, the sexiest images are the ones of the riot but we didn’t want them to overtake the legitimate protest photos,” Bird said. “The two things that Vancouver is known for, hockey riots and pot protests, that is not really what we’re looking to. Here are all these people actually trying to make change, whereas that’s a whole other story.” @JohnKurucz City on Edge: A Century of Vancouver Activism is on display at Museum of Vancouver from Sept. 28 until Feb. 18, 2018.

Kuebler exercises artistic muscle in Feasting on Famine One-man show dissects male health issues

John Kurucz

jkurucz@vancourier.com

A completely shredded dude with eight per cent body fat performing in a speedo for 60 minutes may not scream out “teachable moment” to the uninitiated, but it’s Shay Kuebler’s conversation starter just the same. Kuebler’s one-man show, Feasting on Famine, plays on the paradoxes found in striving for perfect health and what that loaded term even means to begin with. The 33-year-old uses his background in bodybuilding, martial arts and dance to call attention to big pharma and health supplements, and how the end game of a life ﬁlled with lifting weights can go completely sideways. “I’ve always felt that bodybuilding was this representation of strength and health,” he says. “But internally there is a famine. These guys are unhealthy — their hearts aren’t healthy, they can’t run, they can’t do a lot of cardio because they weigh so much and they eventually have to take pills to get erections even though they look like they’re a giant erection themselves.” Kuebler is not a life-long gym rat. He only started upping his gains within the last ﬁve years to aid in

his recovery from injuries sustained from his gigs in dance and choreography. He’s practised martial arts for close to 30 years and has spent about 15 years professionally cutting a rug. Those parts of his life combine with visual effects and other theatre elements to create what’s best described as performance art. “It’s an intense show,” Kuebler says. “From a physical standpoint, I feel like I can attack it. But with what I’m trying to say thematically, it’s a big push for me.” Outside of the tangible,

physical effects of an unhealthy health obsession, Kuebler maintains there’s also a side that’s often unseen: loneliness. Because so much time is spent in the gym, not a lot of effort is put into social interaction or maintaining ties with friends and family. “I like playing with the ideas of extremes,” Kuebler says. “There are positives around being dedicated, focused and strict, but these extremes are what destroy us.” The production isn’t so much biographical as it is anecdotal. The narra-

tive is derived from what Kuebler has seen within bodybuilding culture and through friends. His gym buddy’s dad is a life-long bodybuilder and is a case study in the talking points in Feasting on Famine. “He has to take digestives and diuretics and all this other s*** just so he could digest his food,” Kuebler says. “It made me realize how the body is a device for industry.” @JohnKurucz The production runs until Sept. 30 at the Firehall Arts Centre.

Arts & Entertainment Student ﬁlmmakers have sights set on Big Apple John Kurucz

jkurucz@vancourier.com

Buoyed by an outpouring of last-second financial support, a handful of aspiring teen filmmakers from East Van are in the home stretch of a funding push that seemed almost impossible a month ago. As of Sept. 26, students from in Templeton secondary’s Afterschool Film Program were $5,000 short of the necessary $23,000 to fully cover costs for their trip to the All American High School Film Festival in New York City. One of the higher profile events for student filmmakers in North America, the festival fielded 5,000 submissions from 40 countries. All four Templeton films were accepted into the prestigious gig, which kicks off Oct. 5. The films were accepted in late August, the week before school started. A Go Fund Me campaign was immediately launched, and the initial goal of $13,000 was meant to cover partial costs airfares, accommodations and festival entry fees. “Typically we could pull

off a fundraiser with a few months’ notice or we could apply for some grants, but this is all very last minute,” said Corin Browne, a media arts teacher at Templeton. The $13,000 was raised as of Sept. 19 and extended push to net another $10,000 kicked off in order to cover all costs. The campaign was halfway towards meeting that goal before Courier deadlines, and the deadline to get the dough is Oct. 5, the same day the 18 students leave and the festival opens. The Templeton ﬁlms are

all shorts under 10 minutes long, and the subject matter ranges from comedic sci-fi and trauma to internal family pressures and altered states of reality. The filmmakers are between grades 10 and 12, though the majority of the films were produced last year, remarkably enough, by 14 year olds at the time. The students did everything outside of the acting: cinematography, producing, location scouting and script work. As part of the program and filmmaking process, a

particular emphasis has been put on righting long-standing industry wrongs: most of the students are women, immigrants and people of colour. “There are constant conversations about what it means to be a woman in a field that is just abysmally male and white,” Brown said. “So we definitely talk about that a lot and it’s something the kids are really conscious about and really trying to subvert.” A breakdown of the necessary money works out as follows: • $750 will subsidize the cost of one student’s airline ticket. • $125 will pay for one student’s festival participation. • $300 will pay for the hostel stay for one teen. • $200 will help a student cover meal costs. • $100 will give a student the chance to see a Broadway musical. • $50 will cover the cost of admission to the Museum of Modern Art and the Paley Media Centre.

FALL CAR CARE

Jump to it!

Are you using your jumper cables properly?

BE CAR CARE AWARE becarcareaware.ca The next time you come across a vehicle battery that won’t start, you’ll want to be prepared. Here’s a guide to safely boosting a car using jumper cables. You want the booster car close enough so that the jumper cables will reach, but not so close the vehicles touch. Turn off the ignition of both cars, make sure they’re both in park (or in neutral for a manual transmission), put on the parking brakes and turn off all the car accessories. Unplug anything hooked up to the cigarette lighter, including cellphones or a GPS. Make sure the jumper cables are well insulated and clean. As you prepare to connect the cables, consider wearing protective eye equipment, as well as safety gloves. If the battery in the dead car is cracked or leaking, do not try to jump the vehicle as doing so could cause an explosion. Note: if the battery is in this type of condition, it’s likely time for a replacement. If the terminals on either battery are corroded, wipe them clean while wearing gloves to ensure the clamps can make a solid connection. Connect the positive end (typically red) of one of the jumper cables to the positive terminal on the dead battery labeled with a “+” sign. Attach the negative end of the cable (typically black) to the negative battery terminal marked with a “–” sign on the booster car. Connect the other end of the negative cable to an unpainted metal surface on the engine of the dead car — this could be an unpainted bolt or bracket as far from the dead battery as possible. Doing this provides a solid ground and reduces the possibility of igniting the hydrogen gas emitted by the battery. You want to make sure that the last jumper connection made is the dead battery, not the live battery on the booster car.

Visually check that the jumper cables are connected securely to the battery and the cables aren’t dangling near any moving engine parts in either vehicle. Start the booster car and let it idle for several minutes. If it’s an old battery that’s been dead for longer than a month, the boost could take a while. If the battery is new and drained due to lights or accessories left on, the battery won’t need a lot of idling time. Start the dead car and let both vehicles idle. If the dead vehicle doesn’t start, don’t persist or you could damage the starter. At this point, you might want to consider other factors as to why the vehicle won’t start. Once the dead vehicle has been boosted, remove the jumper cables in the reverse order, watching that you don’t let the cables fall into the engine or allow the cable ends to touch each other. Disconnect the negative cable from the engine block or unpainted surface of the car that was jump started — this will break the circuit. Then unhook the other end of the negative cable from the negative post marked with a “–” sign of the booster car battery. Remove the positive cable from the positive terminal marked with a “+” sign of the booster car battery. The final step is to disconnect the other end of the positive cable from the positive post marked with a “+” sign of the formerly dead battery.

Drive the car that was just jumped to a safe place before you turn off the engine. Depending on the condition of the battery (new versus old), it could require another boost to get the juices properly flowing, so keep in mind when you shut it off there’s a chance you’ll have to repeat the boost.
