Ain’t no mountain high enough for historian by MARIA SPITALE-LEISK Sporting a standard issue Mt. Seymour fleece, Alex Douglas is bent over shovelling snow outside the rental shop on a bluebird day in late January. Uncle Al, as he’s affectionately known, is preparing to welcome somewhere in the neighbourhood of 500 school-aged skiers and snowboarders who will eagerly bound off buses in Seymour’s main parking lot throughout the afternoon. Douglas doesn’t flinch. This isn’t his first rodeo. Rather it’s his 42nd ski season as a Seymour employee. He walks through the rental shop, which Douglas has managed for 30 years, and up a steep staircase, along the side of which the veteran staff member has set up a makeshift memorabilia gallery. Ski jumping trophies, a pair of cross country boots and Olympic racer Stein Eriksen’s skis are counted among the collection, which pays tribute to Seymour’s past. For Douglas, these past 42 winters atop the mountain have been more than just a job for him. It’s a passion. “Because I live here, this is my life,” says a jolly Douglas, who has a short and scenic commute to work. Douglas and his wife live year-round in a two-storey log cabin overlooking the beginner ski area and built by Seymour’s first park ranger, Ole Johansen, in the early ’40s. These days, it’s safe to say Douglas is Mt. Seymour’s unofficial custodian. “I like to take care of it (the mountain). I feel an awful lot of pride in it,” he says. Somewhere along the way Douglas started collecting stories and relics from early Seymour pioneers and has since amassed 30 boxes filled with souvenirs. He has spent the last 20 years archiving photographs, interviews and documents relating to cabin life, as part of his ongoing Mount Seymour History Project. Douglas is also an amateur archeologist of sorts who combs Seymour’s backcountry for long-forgotten cabin sites. “And as you look around the sites you start to see little bits of broken glass and then once you go behind the trees you find the old cook stove,” says Douglas. “Then

as you are walking back you find the old trail and there’s a rusted winch way up in the tree.” The winch would have been used to manually lift logs to assemble a cabin, explains Douglas. During its heyday, in the years after the Second World War, he estimates up to 300 rustic log cabins dotted the side of the mountain. Today, approximately 15 cabins are still standing. Of those, just a handful are being well cared for by owners who lease the land from B.C. Parks for $550 a year. Two summers ago Douglas began leading Uncle Al’s Cabin Tours, showing hikers a side of Mount Seymour from an early pioneer’s perspective. Douglas shared some Mount Seymour stories Feb. 2 at the AGM for the Deep Cove Heritage Society, which Douglas is expected be named president of. For the longtime Seymour resident and member of an international federation of ski historians, the role is a perfect fit. Douglas’ main hobby is tracking down descendants of former cabin owners, making connections with people who once frequented the ski hills and hiking trails, and gathering information about each and every cabin that ever stood. “What I have is more the stories of the cabin owners and people who lived in Deep Cove that used the Old Buck logging trail to get up to Mount Seymour,” explains Douglas. One such subject is George Wood, who called Seymour the stomping grounds of his adolescence and said exploring the mountain became “an extreme obsession” for him. It started in the winter of 1933 for Wood, when he was about 12 years old and lived on the Vancouver side of Burrard Inlet. Getting to the mountain involved taking multiple streetcars, ferry rides and a strenuous hike. “I became aware of that different world of deep snow, log cabins, skiing, ski jumping and hot chocolate when I could afford it,” reads an excerpt from Wood’s interview with Douglas. Wood and his friends covered a lot of ground on Seymour, exploring the lower slopes of the west side where there were many cabins. Later on, while cycling

Maplewood Village makeover underway, plan forthcoming Changes are afoot in Maplewood Village, which is identified in our official

MEMBERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES The Mount Seymour Lions Club has been serving the Seymour community for over 50 years. It is an active, important and vibrant part of our community. Chartered in 1966, the Club has hosted numerous community fundraisers, cooked and served food at literally hundreds of community events and provided hands on service to many local individuals, families and organizations. The Club holds dinner meetings on the first and third Mondays of each month starting at 06:30 pm at 936 Bowron Court, North Vancouver. Membership in the Mount Seymour club is limited to men only.

where we’re focusing future growth. Adjacent to the district’s prime waterfront industrial lands and the last natural tidal mudflats on the North Shore, Maplewood Village has convenient access to transit, and proximity to many of the North Shore’s prime recreational spots. More than 220 businesses call Maplewood Village home and they contribute significantly to the district’s economy and job base. Over the next two decades, we anticipate 1,500 new homes and approximately 100,000 square feet of new

commercial development within Maplewood Village. Last spring, we invited the local community to help develop a Maplewood Village-specific plan to shape and manage growth. This plan will guide revitalization of Maplewood while preserving its historic character and unique features. The Maplewood plan helps define many aspects of the community such land use, housing type, transportation connections, and new community amenities. The first two planning phases of this three-

able to pool their money for tools to build a shack in the area. Though it was “a drag” to traverse the steep hillside between Buck and the shack, Wood and his friends were happy with their humble outpost. It beat camping out in the freezing cold under a verandah of a random cabin, like the friends once did to buy themselves an extra day to explore the mountain. As part of the Mount Seymour History Project, Douglas organizes with the Hollyburn Heritage Society to have the early North Shore mountain pioneers get together every September to trade stories. “Twenty years ago it was 250 people, now we are very lucky if we get 50 people because they are all getting older,” says Douglas. His lofty goal is to have a mini Mount Seymour museum with vestiges of ski bumming through the decades. In Seymour’s cafeteria Douglas has added temporary memorabilia installations, which have piqued people’s interest. The missing link from Douglas’ collection and which he is trying to get his hands on, besides a neon onesie ski suit, are Super 8 movies of Mount Seymour. “I know someone in Vancouver somewhere has some Super 8 movies of Mount Seymour that we should get onto a digital format,” says Douglas. Looking ahead to his new role with the DCHS, Douglas said he is excited for Deep Cove’s “electronic museum,”

referring to a digital photo archive project the heritage society recently undertook. “They have a very active website of Deep Cove’s history. So I hope to help with that,” says Douglas. The lifelong skier also hopes to hit the slopes for the first time this year. “It’s just you get so busy working and we’ve had a good year,” he says. Douglas first strapped on a pair of skis at age four in southern Ontario. “So the hills were 150 vertical (feet),” he says with a laugh. “I just loved skiing, I did it every weekend.” Douglas moved to B.C. in 1975, with ski bum aspirations in tow. He almost immediately started working at Seymour, as a liftie, but not exclusively. “In the early days you did everything, you ran the lifts, you helped out in rentals, I was a Level Two ski instructor, I was a see Couple page 8

This shirt: A student experience I wish I could remove this shirt. Sometimes it’s heavy and weighs me down; other days it makes me feel unique. For the most part, it dictates where I walk, who I speak to, and the people I’m friends with. It’s been on my body since birth but it was never an issue until a few years ago. I remember my body heating up, I couldn’t wear the sweaters to cover it up anymore. I knew it would have been problematic to take them off, but didn’t know the degree of severity it would have on my life. People began to stare at me in the hallway at school. I kind of liked the attention at first; it put me in a position I had never been in before. People seemed interested in me for once and would ask me questions. Everything was great until I received a message from an anonymous sender that read “You shouldn’t be wearing that, nobody likes it.” That night I remember feeling sorry for myself and it made me question who I was. I tried to cut the shirt off of myself, but the fibers were too strong and I only made a tear in the stitching. Later that year I was walking to meet a friend downtown when two men abruptly approached me. At first I thought they were trying to sell me something. I removed my headphones when they ceased to let me by. I

looked up into their harsh gazes and right then knew it was about my shirt. After pushing myself violently from their grips, I couldn’t help but to let tears begin to fall. “It’s just a shirt, it’s just a shirt, it’s just a shirt.” I blurted intermittently through heavy breaths. A few weeks later I experienced a lady yelling at me on the bus. “I will rip your throat out!” she screamed. I pressed my back into the vinyl seat until it hurt, wishing I would slip through the creases of the fabric and disappear. My eyes darted around the bus, looking for a face of comfort. Each person’s eyes I made contact with looked at me and down at my shirt. “Why do you exist! exist! exist! exist!” her voice echoed through my head, putting me into a state of utter despair. Ever since these two incidents, I became anxious in public. I began avoiding busy hallways, particularly those with older boys in them, and I left school for lunch time. After two years of living in

sadness and fear, my brain was wired to make myself think nobody liked me. Then one day, a distant friend told me about a special event for those with shirts like mine. I didn’t know what to expect. As I made my way to the secret location, I paid attention to the shirts on people around me. I saw a girl my age across the street looking around nervously. She was bundled with an oversized sweater and a wavy scarf. A city bus brimming with people lurched to a stop in front of me. The doors flipped open and they began streaming out in various directions. I frantically tried to catch glimpses of their shirts, but the ones I did catch sight of read ‘straight.’ I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turned to see a boy and a girl with shirts reading “LGBTQ.” “Come on! Let’s go inside,” said the girl with a big smile on her face. Written by a Grade 12 Seycove secondary student. Name of writer withheld to protect student’s identity.

Economic Principles + Real Estate Reality

= Best Results for Sellers

I often talk to people who think that real estate is in its own world, unaffected by economic and investment principles. In some ways it is-while real estate is an investment, it goes beyond that. Owning one’s own home comes with a lot of emotional advantages that can far outweigh the financial ones; therefore finances are not the main reason to buy or sell a home. Having said that, some economic fundamentals can still be applied to maximize the benefits for those considering selling their homes. In particular, the principle of “supply and demand” is critical in determining the optimal time to sell a home. Many people are unaware of the fact that sellers can do a lot better selling their homes at this time of year than they will during the busy Spring market. In the lower mainland, we tend to have buyers looking for homes all year round, with only a couple of slow months (December and August are usually pretty quiet!). For that reason, sellers who list their homes in January and February can take advantage of the lack of supply while there is still demand-buyers looking for homes when there is nothing available.

From March to the end of June, we tend to see a lot more sales BUT this can result from the fact that there are usually a lot more listings for buyers to buy. Earlier in the year, there is less supply to meet the buyer demand. This can mean much better prices and quicker sales for sellers! There are currently only a handful of homes for sale in the Deep Cove/East of Seymour areas. However there are buyers looking for homes right now and finding nothing suitable. Smart buyers are trying to get in before the market goes crazy again. Smart sellers are listing now before all of their “competition” (other sellers competing for the buyers) have a chance to get their homes ready to list. Why not use the principle of supply and demand to your benefit? If you would like to discuss the current market or your real estate planning, please contact me.

7 DEEP COVE CRIER FEBRUARY 2017

Carving new paths on Mt. Seymour

This column is dedicated to celebrating outdoor recreation in the Seymour area. Whether you are an adrenaline junkie or a Sunday afternoon ambler, there’s a slice of nature waiting for you to discover in Deep Cove. Every month we ask an outdoor recreation enthusiast east of Seymour to give us some advice on how to navigate nature in our backyard. For February, we asked David Whiteside, a Mt. Seymour ski instructor, to give us some tips on how to make the most of the prime snow conditions our local hill has been boasting as of late. Here’s what he had to say: Whether you’re sliding on snow for the first time or looking for the steepest pitch on a powder day, every skier has something they can improve on. Here are some tips and some of my favorite spots on the mountain for skiers of all abilities. Folks coming up to ski for the first time can be nervous as anything, or ready as ever to start speeding down the slopes. Whatever the case is, safety is absolutely paramount, and there’s no better place to do that than in Mt. Seymour’s learning area, right next to the Alpine Activity Centre. You’ll often see us instructors out there in our bright green jackets guiding beginners, but it’s a fantastic spot for the general public to get going too. It has a gentle grade and a gradually sloping bank and the bottom to prevent anyone who loses control from sliding too far and hurting themselves, and some mats for skis to grip to aid with getting back to the top. Once you’re sliding in control, head over to the Goldie Magic Carpet for a bigger hill to try your turns out, as well as an easy lift to the top! When starting out, balance is vital. Before you start sliding, bend your ankles, knees and hips, and try to feel even pressure across the whole length of your foot. If you think of a basketball player about to make a shot, that’s a good idea of what you should look like: a sturdy “ready position.” Try making a “wedge” shape with your skis to control your speed and

Discover Deep Cove stop by turning your feet so that your toes point in and your heels point out, but make sure your skis don’t cross. When you feel comfortable with the wedge, use your feet to turn that wedge left and right. You’ll feel some pressure building up on the downhill side of your turn, but that’s OK. Some of my favourite runs to ski at the intermediate level are Rookies, which runs right underneath the Lodge chairlift, Seymour 16’s, and Manning, which comes down from the Mystery chairlift. While fairly straightforward for the most part, these runs each have a steep pitch on them which challenges intermediate skiers and gets them thinking about how they're turning the skis, and how they're managing their balance. If you’re having trouble starting your turns on the steeper parts without moving your whole body around, try straightening your knees, ankles, and hips to release some of the pressure on your skis at the start of the turn. This

should make it easier for your feet to do the work – just make sure to get low in your stance again when you finish the turn. For advanced skiing, my favorite place to be is on the Brockton chairlift, especially when fresh snow has fallen. Some of the steeper pitches on runs like Stern’s Stairway and Cliff House provide awesome terrain to practise shorter turns and really test out your mobility as a skier. Unicorn, off of Northlands via the Mystery Chairlift, is a close second for me. If you’re tackling these steeps, make sure you steer your feet hard across the hill at the end of your turn, and keep your shoulders and hips facing downhill. This forces your knees up the hill more and gets way more performance out of your edges, allowing you some much needed grip. See you on the slopes!

American evangelist Billy Graham, 98, was recently named for the 60th consecutive year in a Gallup poll as one of the ten most admired people in the world. It was Ruth Graham, his devoted wife for 63 years, who enabled Billy Graham to be healthy in the midst of relentless international attention. Without Ruth’s loving care for their five children, it would have been impossible for Billy to have taken part in 417 city-wide celebrations in 185 countries, speaking to live audiences of nearly 215 million people. Billy and Ruth Graham were a Valentine’s love story that we can all learn from. Ruth, who lived her first 17 years in China, never wanted to marry, intending instead to become a missionary in Tibet. After going to school in North Korea, she moved to Wheaton College in

Illinois. There, in 1940, she met her future husband Billy who instantly fell in love with her. Ruth was slightly startled by his intense blue eyes. As her biographer Patricia Cornwell put it, “Billy was unlike anyone Ruth had met ... earnest, quietly confident, and personal ... what interested Ruth was that as Billy escorted her ... he seemed completely unaware of his uniqueness, his poignancy, his gift.” Both Billy and Ruth were independent and very determined people, which led to some early challenges in their relationship. After accepting Billy’s marriage proposal, Ruth visited her sister Rosa in a New Mexico tuberculosis sanitarium. While there suffering from exhaustion, she wrote Billy a crushing letter, telling him that she didn’t think that she was in love with him

and that marriage was perhaps unwise. Her sister miraculously recovered, and Ruth went ahead with the wedding. Her biographer Patricia Cornwell commented: “What Ruth would do next, no one could predict, for she was as quietly stubborn as the sphinx and just about as inscrutable.” One of the greatest challenges to their marriage was how much Billy was away. Ruth often said: “I would rather have a little of Bill than a lot of any other man.” In 1963, Billy wrote to Ruth: “How can I find words to express my appreciation for all you have meant to me. Your love and patience with me in my ups and downs ... have meant more to me than you will ever know.” dtY{ yu xn]u o \ tt` [ot ]tv[_] [ c[{ cna_`b\ XoZ]vo| ikz ct}a_Z] dnYt] em{| \n`vt lfgh{ \[\na_`\voZ]vo{v

ski patroller, I was a first aid attendant at one point,” recalls Douglas. The latter role lead him to his wife, Noelette. “I saved her life,” says Douglas. “She was a young girl at the summer camp and I was a patroller. And she went unconscious. She bumped her head one too many times in the race. So I had to give her mouth-to-mouth before the helicopter arrived, to keep her going. And the rest is history.” The couple has been married for 26 years and wake up every morning in their cosy cabin on the mountain. A wonderful love story just time in for Valentine’s Day. “We literally have won the lottery because of where we live and the lifestyle we’ve managed to eke out,” says Douglas. s ~n[o mt\ r]_a Xo]n\[n`t w}_`
