How anthropology can save the world

Culture warrior BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

If you want to ask a scientist how to save the world, maybe start by asking how so many cultures have survived this long.

Wade Davis, UBC anthropologist, author and National Geographic Society explorer-inresidence, is bringing that message to West Vancouver in a public lecture at Mulgrave School, Sept. 15.

“The thrust of my work as an anthropologist is really trying to make the world safe for human differences and for diversity. My mission at the (National) Geographic for 15 years was to really kind of change the way the world views and values culture,” he said. “We have a strong conviction storytellers can change the world.”

And so Davis will be telling some of the stories he’s collected living and doing ethnographic research among the indigenous people of more than 80 nations.

Among the stories most frequently recalled in his lectures: studying survival in the high Arctic; learning the origins of Voodoo in West Africa; sailing with the descendants of the Polynesian navigators who, without any navigational aids, colonized the most remote islands of the Pacific 1,000 years BCE; visiting an 800-year-old salt mine in the middle of the Sahara Desert to better understand Islam; and seeing how spiritual beliefs of the Amazon tribe known as the People of the Anaconda contribute directly to the way they manage their land and thrive.

The takeaway from these stories is an abiding respect and understanding of the “dazzling” ways indigenous people have formed their beliefs and adapted to the world around them.

“The other peoples of the world aren’t failed attempts at being modern or failed attempts at being new. Every culture is a unique answer to a fundamental question – what does it mean to be human and alive?” Davis said.

The subject of the Mulgrave talk dovetails nicely with the International Baccalaureate

Young men of the Huli tribe in Papua New Guinea prepare for an initiation rite after spending years in isolation. PHOTO SUPPLIED WADE DAVIS school’s Theory of Knowledge class, which challenges students to reflect on the nature of knowledge, and on “how we know what we claim to know.” Those students will be getting a private lecture from Davis earlier in the day.

“The great revelation of anthropology was that the world that you’re born into is just one model of reality, the consequence of one set of choices your cultural lineage made, however successfully,” Davis said. “The other peoples of the world remind us there are other ways of thinking, other ways of being, other ways of orienting yourself in social, physical, even spiritual space.”

But those ways of thinking, speaking and being, and the tremendous intrinsic value they hold are under critical threat, arguably more so than any particular ecosystem or branch of flora or fauna. To illustrate, Davis points to the “haunting statistic” that of the 7,000 languages spoken on Earth today, half aren’t being taught to children. Less than a third of one per cent of the population is still actively speaking these dying languages.

“As these languages disappear we are literally losing half of all humanity’s intellectual, spiritual, social, ecological knowledge, and this doesn’t have to happen,” he said. “We hear so

much about the threat to endangered species but no biologist would dare suggest that half the species of the world were on the brink of extinction. And yet that most apocalyptic scenario in the realm of biological diversity scarcely approaches what we know to be the most optimistic scenario in the realm of cultural diversity.”

Some like to retort that a world where everyone speaks a common tongue would be a better place, but Davis isn’t having it.

“What a fine idea,” he said, sardonically. “But let’s make that language Haida. Let’s make it Inuktitut. Let’s make it Lakota… You suddenly begin to feel as a native speaker of English what it would be like to be enveloped in silence with no means to pass on the wisdom of your ancestry or anticipate the promise of your descendants.”

But as Davis points out, the disappearance of language and culture isn’t a naturally occurring phenomenon. It’s man-made. The eradication of indigenous cultures was fed, in part, by the wrong-headed thinking of 19th century anthropologists who tended to view other cultures on a hierarchy, always with their own culture at the top and varying degrees of savagery below.

Davis points to Europeans clashing with Australia’s aborigines as one of the worst examples.

Because they looked strange, had simple technology and – most offensive to the Victorian British – showed little interest in acquiring material goods, the British concluded they must be something less than human.

“As recently as the 1950s, ranchers had quotas on how many ‘Abbos’ they could shoot who trespassed upon their land,” Davis said.

What the colonists failed to understand was that the entire ethos of the people they so dehumanized was dedicated to continuing the rituals deemed necessary to keep the world exactly as it was at the time of creation.

From page 4 In other cases, it’s forced assimilation by a dominant political or religious force, much like Canada instigated with Indian residential schools.

Here on the North Shore, the Squamish language has only seven fluent speakers left, a legacy of St. Paul’s Indian Residential School, which stood where St. Thomas Aquinas secondary now welcomes students.

Lastly, industrialization and resource extraction on traditional indigenous lands has forced people to abandon their traditional ways of living to scrape by in a cash economy, typically with a lower quality of life, Davis said.

“Too often, indigenous peoples are given a false choice of either poverty or industrial activity that compromises the thing they love most – their homelands,” Davis said.

But the good news is things are turning around, albeit slowly. Canada has mostly parted ways with the old pedagogy, learning to celebrate and encourage First Nations people fostering their own culture, Davis said. Recognizing Aboriginal land title and granting self-governance, as has been done in the case of Nunavut, have also been steps in the right direction.

And there is a movement afoot to revive Squamish language, including an immersion academy set up by local

activist Khelsilem. It would be naïve to assume the Squamish people will give up speaking English and readopt their mother tongue as their main form of communication, Davis said, but there is great value in keeping the language alive.

“There’s an incredible moral and political and psychological power in even the efforts to maintain the language,” he said. “It’s not about isolating the Squamish people with their language and no access to modernity. It’s about how can they as a group of individuals embrace this realm of modernity, but critically.”

Much as other cultures change and adapt, so too must ours, and sooner rather than later if climate change has anything to do with it, Davis said. In many ways, we have the wind at our backs when it comes to progress.

“When I was a kid, just getting people to stop throwing garbage out of their car was a victory. Words like biodiversity and biosphere hadn’t been invented yet, and now they’re part of the vocabulary of schoolchildren,” he said. “In my lifetime, women have gone from the kitchen to the boardroom. People of colour from the slave ship to the White House, gay people from the closet to the altar.

The information age has put the knowledge of the world literally at the fingertips of everybody with a device.

We’re moving absolutely into a post-carbon energy economy.”

The two most important scientific achievements of humanity, in Davis’s mind, are the first images of the Earth taken from the Apollo spacecraft and the decoding of the human genome. Taken together, they underscore the message that we are one people sharing one habitat.

Despite the bleak misfortune being foisted on indigenous people in so many places, Davis still beams with optimism. Perhaps a bit like Scrooge waking up on Christmas Day to realize he still has time to mend his ways, we too have an opportunity. And the anthropologist’s best advice: listen to the voices of the thousands of other cultures while they’re still here and speaking.

“None of this is to be pessimistic or apocalyptic.

On the contrary,” Davis said.

“Every culture has something to say and each deserves to be heard.”

Wade Davis will speak on Sept. 15, 7-9 p.m. at Mulgrave’s Linda Hamer Theatre, 2330 Cypress Bowl Lane. Admission is free but attendees are asked to RSVP at info.mulgrave. com/wade-davis. Davis is also publishing two books this fall including Wade Davis Photography, a collection of his favourite photos from the last 15 years, and Cowboys of the Americas, a reflection on the relationship between humans and horses in traditional farming.

Chickens back in West Van backyards Teen lobbied district council, parents, now gets fresh eggs JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

The chickens – but not the roosters – have come home to roost in West Vancouver.

Nearly two years after Kaylee Whittaker first called for district council to perform a coop d’etat on their chicken bylaws, the teenager brought home six feathered friends to her very own coop.

“It feels really good,” Whittaker said last week just before fetching her brood.

District council officially changed their regulations in April, allowing for a chicken on every plot.

Because the chickens must be at least four months old, Kaylee had her chicks raised

on Bowen Island beginning in May. She says she made weekly trips to visit Blondie, Cheeky, Raven, Dovey, Ruby, and Sweatpea.

Last week, the chickens crossed the strait.

They’re “amazing creatures,” Whittaker reported.

“They like to stay on your lap for 10 or 15 minutes.”

The chickens were held nearly every day to make them friendly around people, noted Celeste, Kaylee’s mother.

Caring for the hens has helped Kaylee develop a strong sense of responsibility, she added.

“It’s a way of keeping her grounded going into her teen years,” Celeste said.

Besides lobbying West Vancouver council, Kaylee also needed to persuade her parents before she could bring chickens to her backyard.

After numerous requests for her own chickens, Kaylee’s father told her: “Get the bylaw changed and I’ll build you a coop,” Celeste recalled.

“He thought that was the end of it,” she said with a laugh.

lbert Einstein once likened life to riding a bicycle. His point was that the best way to balance is to keep moving.

In our effort to find balance, the North Shore News is moving from Central Lonsdale to new offices at 980 West First Street near Harbourside.

We’ll be about equidistant from Walmart and MacKay Creek, which feels somehow fitting for a North Shore business.

But before we cap the last pen and pen the last headline, we want to offer our sincere thanks to our former neighbours.

A city as beautiful as North Vancouver can slide by on its looks, but from our headquarters on Lonsdale and 15th we were privy to an amazing assortment of personalities. We’ve

chatted with parents, panhandlers, priests, paranoiacs – and a few who had reason to be paranoid.

We will miss you all, and we thank you for helping make this newspaper what it is. There is no community newspaper without the community.

On Monday morning we begin unpacking and we hope you’ll come down and see us. Whether you’re a council watchdog or you noticed something interesting while watching dogs, we want to hear from you.

The North Shore News has survived the Internet, upheaval throughout the news industry, and a fire. Part of the credit is due to a talented and dedicated staff, but on balance, it’s not us, it’s you.

This is your newspaper, and as we move, we hope you’ll move with us. It’s the only way we can stay balanced.

MPs making decisions about voting reform doesn’t sit well

Dear Editor: Re: Pressing Trudeau on his Electoral Reform Pledge, Aug. 28 Other Voices guest column.

I stand 100 per cent in favour of changing our voting system and prefer either proportional representation or, failing that, mixed member proportional, which combines PR with first past the post.

My point here, though, is that it doesn’t matter a damn what I prefer, the question is how will this be decided?

I totally reject the notion that MPs should make that decision for a number of reasons, which are contained in the letter that I sent to the prime minister and three Opposition leaders.

Considering the way my MP speaks for me on matters such as Woodfibre LNG, I don’t want her deciding anything

CONTACTUS

on my behalf when the decision ought to be mine not what’s in the best interest of the Liberal party – or any other party for that matter.

It amazes me that we, the rabble, are too stupid to understand the proposed voting systems yet smart enough to know which MP to vote for.

I suggest that you make your own submission to Mr. Trudeau and the party leaders rather than depend upon hearings set up by Liberal MPs which, to me at any rate, have all the credibility of meetings Liberal MPs traditionally hold.

First Langdale then Lions Gate Bridge?

Dear Editor:

Re: Residents Should Board First: Petition, Sept. 4 news story.

I can sympathize with Ryan Medd and his fellow Langdalers that have to use B.C. Ferries out of necessity, but I can’t agree that they should get priority loading.

If you take his argument to its logical extent you would have to give priority to the entire highway network to those who are travelling to or from home.

So how are you going to do that with the Port Mann Bridge? Or Highway 1? Or the Lions Gate Bridge? Or any street, road or bridge anywhere?

MAILBOX Goodbye Hedgy: a poem

Boulevard critter teases smiles from commuters

Seems like an odd thing For progress to conquer.

Hardly a pest.

At best, A welcome to Lynn Valley That’s all worn out.

Goodbye Hedgy.

(How do we save the “CaterPillar” of our community)?

(We’d like to know)

Dear editor:

Re: Bike Lanes In, Hedge Creature Out (For Now), Aug. 31 news story.

Traffic jams, construction and the relentless pursuit of density have become the everyday on the North Shore, yet there is a little creature residing on Lynn Valley Road who provides a momentary respite from the frenzy.

On my worst day, the sight of that whimsical hedge critter teases a smile from my lips. The North Shore News report that the creature and the median would be demolished to make way for a bike lane brought tears to my eyes. While vying for space for our buses, buggies, bikes, skateboards, feet and cars, the road rage between all parties involved increases.

That little critter needs to remain to provide a brief but essential timeout to the urban cacophony.

Capilano University business instructor Rick Colbourne has been awarded the Fulbright Canada Scholarship to conduct research in indigenous entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial ecosystems at the University of Arizona.

“Personally, it’s quite an honour,” said Colbourne, a resident of Edgemont Village.

He was speaking via telephone from his new office in Tucson. “The University of Arizona is a leader in looking at indigenous issues, globally.

There are a lot of experts here, so it’s a really great place to be.”

The award is handed out each year by the Foundation

for Educational Exchange between Canada and the United States of America.

According to Colbourne, the idea of the program is to bring “thought leaders” from different areas together to share knowledge. He is one of 16 Canadian scholars that will now travel to host universities across the U.S.A. In exchange, Canadian Universities will receive 26 visiting American scholars.

“The point of the Fulbright is that you come back to your home community and you share that knowledge,” he said. “The research I’m doing here keys into the research I’m doing in Canada, and also keys in with international research that I’m doing with international partners.

The goal of Colbourne’s research is to determine what factors are preventing indigenous communities from providing the same opportunities for entrepreneurship that exist in non-indigenous communities.

“When we look at entrepreneurial ecosystems in non-indigenous situations, they are fairly well organized; it’s easier to get funding, you’ve got access to education, venture capitalist networks, etc.” he explained.

“When you look at indigenous communities, you don’t have any of that. My research looks at what do the communities have, and what are the kind of mechanisms here in the U.S. that tribes and communities use to support entrepreneurship from an indigenous perspective.”

This is a field that has not received very much

Fulbright scholar Rick Colbourne attention, according to Colbourne; however, he feels that attitudes are beginning to shift. World leaders are beginning to acknowledge that there is work to be done to create the conditions for indigenous communities to live sustainable and healthy lives.

“This has been a turning point year (in Canada) with (Prime Minister) Trudeau coming in,” said Colbourne.

“He has said we need to have a new relationship with aboriginal people in Canada.

The question is, how we make sure that these communities stay connected to tradition and culture, while still making sure that they have opportunities within their communities.”

Colbourne’s Fulbright residency officially begins later this month when school recommences. During his time in Arizona, he has been commissioned to design an indigenous entrepreneurship course for the school.

“This is what I want to be doing,” he said. “For Fulbright to be giving me that opportunity, I feel very privileged, I don’t take it for granted.”

Teen reaps rewards of WV coop-eration From page 7 daughter “just wasn’t letting this go,” Celeste recalled.

“I just knew I wanted chickens,” Kaylee explained.

Asked about the toughest parts of her experience, Kaylee offered a two-part answer.

“Getting the bylaw changed,” she said. “And then, cleaning up the poop.”

The coop is designed to be predator-proof, resistant to even the most ingenious raccoon, according to Celeste.

Kaylee said she’s looking forward to watching her chickens grow.

“You get eggs every morning,” she explains. “Cats and dogs don’t give you anything.”

West Vancouver forbid fowl in 2008 over concerns the chickens might bring bears into backyards but later found those fears were unfounded.

Approximately 60 per cent of West Vancouver residents polled in a small survey favoured allowing chicken coops in their neighbourhood, with many citing the benefits of food security and environmental sustainability.

A $50 registration fee is required for chicken-keepers.

Roosters are not permitted.

Residents with a yen for hens can learn more about West Vancouver’s chicken bylaws at westvancouver.ca/ chickens, or they can pick up West Vancouver’s chicken bylaw pamphlet, featuring cover art by Kaylee.

Grinder goes to new heights for the cause

Pemberton Heights resident supports Grind for Kids program ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com

Once she saw it with her own eyes, Sarah-Jane Tomlinson’s commitment to the cause was firmly cemented.

Having signed up as a participant in the annual Grind For Kids program, which sees community members make ascents up the popular North Shore trail as a means of raising funds in support of B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation, she had been invited to tour the Vancouver hospital.

“You come away from that and you say, well how can I not do fundraising,” says the 49-year-old Pemberton Heights resident.

“You just want to help,” she adds.

This year marks Tomlinson’s fourth season on the Grind and her third as part of the Grind for Kids Program. As of Thursday, the hiking enthusiast had logged 1,573 Grinds overall, earning her the record for the woman with the most Grinds ever, as listed on Grouse Mountain’s website.

This season alone, she

has logged 481 ascents, also earning her the female course record for most Grinds this season.

“I’m hoping to get 600,” she says referring to her goal for 2016. As well, she’s hoping to raise $10,000 for B.C. Children’s Hospital. So far, she’s raised just over $5,000.

If she reaches her goal, that will bring her three-year program participation total to $20,000.

“The fundraising is my biggest drive. That’s kept me going and doing big numbers,” she says.

This year, Tomlinson decided to add an additional focus to her fundraising, both in support of the cause as well as the environment.

“I saw plastic bottles and I started picking those up,” she says.

At first Tomlinson thought she’d pick up one bottle per Grind, however that plan was quickly expanded as she continued to notice additional discarded bottles as well as general litter that she decided to pick up too.

“I started just doing Garbage Grinds as well,”

See Hikers page 16

So far this season Sarah-Jane Tomlinson has logged 481 of her planned 600 ascents of the Grouse Grind in support of B.C. Children’s Hospital. She has also started completing Garbage Grinds, picking up discarded bottles and other litter along the way to further support her efforts. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH

Cap Bridge awards annual scholarships at soiree Capilano Suspension Bridge Park’s Summer Season Soiree, an annual end-of-summer team member event, took place at Stanley Park Pavilion on the evening of Aug. 30.

For the first year, the Capilano Group’s three Vancouver teams celebrated together (Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, Stanley Park Pavilion and Prospect Point), according to a written statement from the organization.

Staff enjoyed mingling, dining under the stars and playing Giant Jenga on the outdoor deck overlooking Stanley Park.

The formalities included a big thank you to everyone from CEO Nancy Stibbard, and the presentation of 11 Cap Groupie Awards, seven $1,000 academic scholarships and the singular Capilanitude Award.

Capilano Scholarships were awarded to Capilano’s Derek Maroney, Clarice Scop, Jessica Ellis, Michael Beck,

Tania Talebzadeh, Linden Maultsaid-Blair and Stanley Park Pavilion’s Tiago Cruz. All recipients demonstrated that their commitment to academics was no less than to their community and to the Capilano Group.

Hikers quick to support Garbage Grind initiative

seen it all, from a man hiking the trail with an artificial leg to a four-year-old “cranking up there with his mom and dad.”

“Every day is different.

Different things will inspire you. ... It’s just one of those unique places for me,” she says.

To share some of her inspiration, Tomlinson recently launched a Grouse Grindthemed blog at grousegrinder.com.

“People will ask me what do I eat and all that kind of thing, but I didn’t want it all to be about me. So I asked other Grinders if they would let me do a bio on them and (share) their Grind experiences and why they do the Grind, so that’s how it started,” she says.

she says. So far Tomlinson has collected more than 500 bottles. She plans to put the funds earned from returning them towards her Grind for Kids fundraising total.

When asked what a typical week is like, Tomlinson, who works part time, says Monday to Thursday, she’ll complete two Grinds, go to work, and then head back to Grouse Mountain to do an additional ascent or two. Friday to Sunday, she’ll complete six back-to-back Grinds daily.

“My other life is pre-April, or pre the season opening, and then after the Grind closes. It’s just solid Grinding in the summer,” she says.

Spending so much time on the trail, Tomlinson says she’s

Recent posts include those highlighting her Grind for Kids participation and Garbage Grinds, which has helped rally a community of supporters.

“There are a few Grinders who will pick up bottles and then I’ll get to the top and they’ll hand me three or four bottles and I’ll have three or four bottles as well,” she says.

Going forward Tomlinson plans to take her fundraising for B.C. Children’s Hospital to the next level.

“I feel like I need to do something bigger,” she says.

What exactly that will look like, only time will tell, but likely no mountain will be too high for her to tackle.

As we move closer to liberalizing marijuana, we can’t lose sight of the fact that marijuana is still a psychoactive drug and it can affect different people different ways. For example, work is being done to see how its effects differ between women and men. Much research is being done on this subject and nothing is definite yet. However, to be safe, women wanting to become pregnant should abstain from marijuana during preconception, pregnancy and lactation.

Information on marijuana is increasing daily. Any questions? Ask us.

This month, in addition to EOMA’s regular Ladies Only fitness and selfdefence classes, and in response to disturbing stories of women being threatened or assaulted on urban trails and near universities, EOMA has introduced its new KRAV MAGA women’s selfdefence program.

In addition to the KRAV MAGA and other fitness programs for women, Yoo and his highly-trained teachers continue to offer professional instruction for children ages five and up, youth and adults. Programs include Judo and Taekwondo – the gentle arts – as well as Boxing and Wrestling.

So whether a situation involves a physical affront or a tough social confrontation, the self-confidence and character developed during EOMA instruction can be drawn on forever.

“When a person has built-in integrity and has learned the qualities of humility, courtesy and self-discipline that are the essence of martial arts, they have everything they need to go through life handling adversity – and themselves – with modest

EOMA believes the quest for selfimprovement should be enjoyed for a life-time, without the stress that accompanies intense competition.

“By learning these arts, your mind will become sharper, more focused and disciplined as your body becomes stronger and more flexible,”Yoo said.

As with most sports, you cannot just learn a technique and hope to apply it later in life, unless you continue to work on those skills and keep them sharp. That’s not hard to do when EOMA makes the effort so much fun.

First developed by the Israeli army around 70 years ago, KRAV MAGA teaches women self-defence, survival techniques they can use to defend themselves in the event they find themselves threatened in their urban environment.

“It builds on a person’s own instinctive reactions to a physical assault,” said Yoo. As with all the techniques taught at EOMA, Yoo says that although a KRAV MAGA move may look aggressive, in reality it is a controlled, skilled

“Our concern for the welfare of our students goes above and beyond, and our friendly environment at 840-842 West 15th Street welcomes each one of you,” said Yoo. To learn more about KRAV MAGA and other EOMA programs, call 604-971-3362 or visit the EOMA website at: www.eoma.ca

Be wary of doom-and-gloom market headlines

In this day and age, it’s relatively easy to find what you’re looking for by doing a quick search on Google, whether it’s to buy something, find a date or get the latest update on Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber.

As an investor, when you’re looking for information on markets or stocks, you likely already have your preferred news sources saved in your favourites tab. Your information might come from major media outlets, financial bloggers or maybe your neighbour. It’s important to remember that not all sources are equally reliable – not that I’m trying to discredit your neighbour.

Every now and then, some news headline on markets

Making Cents Lori Pinkowski will surface; someone who is apparently “in the know” will claim that a stock market crash is coming.

These outrageous headlines will unfortunately grab your attention the most. Everyone can have an opinion on the state of

the markets or the global economy, however not all opinions are accurate and credible. The new reality of today is that there is no shortage of information, but an overload. We come across many doomsday authors and bloggers who make a living out of scaring investors into believing that markets and the economy will collapse.

The reality is that, like any sales person, they want to sell you a product. In most cases, it’s either the latest version of their book, newsletter, gold coins or all of the above. They present you with ill-conceived facts to sell you on fear so they can profit from it. Apparently gold coins are what will save you in a doomsday scenario … not food, water, shelter or

electricity.

Let’s consider the facts for a moment on markets and use the S&P 500 index as an example. A 10 per cent correction is normal and has happened about twice a year, on average, since the 1920s (this is the era they started tracking the index). A more substantial correction of 20 per cent has happened more frequently than you think, every two years on average. The really scary market corrections of 50 per cent or more have happened so infrequently that before the recent financial crisis, the last one occurred in the late 1930s (from 1937 to 1938). But despite the fact that numerous market corrections have materialized over the years, the S&P 500 has continued to

climb to new highs. As of last week, the S&P 500 had again reached new highs.

What’s important to realize is that market volatility is normal while severe market crashes, like the financial crisis, are not. Keeping your money on the sidelines in a savings account or even GICs because you fear markets will collapse is not really the best investment solution.

Inflation is almost two per cent in Canada and when you account for the taxes you pay on the interest, you are losing money annually. This is not a great long-term investment strategy.

With all three market indices in the U.S. hitting all-time highs, this is actually a bullish (good) sign. After experiencing a year of consolidation

in the stock market, on the backdrop of a great second quarter for corporate earnings, in my opinion it is time to get invested and overweighed in equities if you are still on the sidelines. The green light is on!

Memory Lane Laura Anderson A visit to Hollyburn Lodge will be a highlight for Hollyburners at the annual Pioneer Skiers Reunion on Wednesday, Sept. 21.

The lodge restoration is close to completion and oh, if those walls could talk.

Fortunately, they don’t have to. Newly minted centenarian June Gillrie – born Lorna-June Patricia Leslie on June 23, 1916, in one of Vancouver’s oldest houses, the Leslie house (no relation) at 1380 Hornby St., will be there with her fellow Pioneer Skiers to tell us how it was during the lodge’s heyday in the ’30s and ’40s and again in the ’60s and ’70s.

I remember leafing through June’s albums

Thelma Hutchinson and June Gillrie rest on the roof of the Swish Inn cabin at Hollyburn Mountain in the 1940s. This photo is just one of the many in Gillrie’s vast photo collection. See more at nsnews.com/living/seniors. PHOTO SUPPLIED at previous reunions.

Photograph after black and white photograph of people recreating, winter and summer, on the mountains stacked up in Vancouver’s backyard. Every one mesmerizing, and every one described in detail by June, blessed with an impeccable memory and the skills of a

natural storyteller.

June’s albums put faces on the familiar names: Sue and Clare Morrison, George and Janet Hale, Thelma and Jack Hutchinson, Brian Creer, and Chuck Gillrie.

Don Grant, Hollyburn Heritage Society archivist, notes, “The days when June was on Hollyburn, that was

the golden age, the dawn of skiing, both recreational and competitive, in Vancouver.”

It’s true. June has the memories, and the medals, that confirm it.

Annual pioneer skiers reunion set for Sept. 21 at Cypress From page 20 dance club, Ocean Waves, was hosting their annual Corn Roast and Dance in Courtenay and June was on hand for the full program, including pacing off a step or two.

“I shouldn’t have danced,” she said, having broken her pelvis last year and a femur this year, both events purely by accident, “but I did. Me, I do things anyhow.”

Yes, June is a woman who dances to her own tune, always has. She is also gracious and considerate, making time to reminisce before the big event of the weekend, the potluck dinner and dance. June’s contribution, mixed vegetables, was already prepared.

June was 10 years old and specializing in roller and ice skating when Hollyburn Lodge opened in 1927. A few years later, as a teenager, June would leave her home near South Granville, board the streetcar and then the ferry to cross Burrard Inlet and finally, putting one foot in front of the other, hike all the way up the mountain to the ski camp at First Lake.

“For $20 a season, you rented a bunk – put down your sleeping bag. You could rent skis too but I bought

mine from Hamish Davidson. I was always moving up – trading up – on skis.”

June met Chuck Gillrie on the mountain and they married in 1942. Chuck was from East Vancouver, a welder working in the Vancouver shipyards turning out freighters for the war effort.

He and Brian Muir had already built one cabin, Stonehaven, the only cabin on Hollyburn with a stone foundation.

The newlyweds built a second cabin, June working alongside Chuck. “In that picture of me with the axe,” she says, “I used it for peeling logs.” They named the cabin Swish Inn for the sound of a pair of skis swishing over the snow.

“We were always up the mountain. Summers it was swimming at First Lake, hiking, working on the cabin.

I’m a golfer and a sailor, too, charter member of the Kitsilano Yacht Club.”

(June says “Kitsilanah” – few Vancouverites are left who pronounce the word in that way).

“Winters we skied, of course, and I was a skater, having started out roller skating. We ski club members bowled and skated together.

I skated at First Lake and at

Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park.

In those days it iced over solid. From the time I was born, I was always active and I still am.

“Oh, these memories,” says June, “my mind is full of so much.”

June Gillrie and her fellow Hollyburners will be recreating and sharing memories at the 24th annual Pioneer Skiers Reunion. Hosted by Hollyburn Heritage Society and Mount Seymour History Project, this year’s reunion

will be Wednesday, Sept.

21, from noon to 4 p.m. at Cypress Creek Lodge and all are welcome.

Teaching a dog to come is challenging but essential Without a doubt, the most important command a dog will learn is its recall, otherwise known as coming when called.

But ironically, it is also one of the most difficult commands for a dog to learn.

Well, let me rephrase that. A dog can learn to come when called just as easily and as quickly as it can learn to sit or lie down, but dogs tend to respond to their recall with far less consistency than other obedience commands.

One reason for this is because commands such as “sit” or “down” are static, which means a dog is required to be stationary in order to execute the command and is able to stay focused much more easily.

Unlike “sit” or “down,” the recall is a dynamic command. This means that motion is involved to execute it correctly and as soon as you add movement, you also add distraction. A moving dog is distracted far more easily than a stationary dog.

The second reason, which really should be the first reason because it’s the only reason in the big scheme of things, is that the dog simply does not want to come when called. And the reason it

Canine Connection Joan Klucha doesn’t want to is because of human error. And what is this error, you ask? It’s not just one, so hold on and pay attention.

Let’s take an off-leash hike as an example. When an owner calls their off-leash dog, often they will do nothing when the dog does not respond. The error here is that they just taught their dog to ignore them.

Training tip No. 1: when your dog does not respond when you call it, go and get it! Do not make human error No. 2, which is to repeatedly call the dog, shouting its name louder and louder.

Training tip No. 2: when you do this, you are again teaching your dog to ignore you until you start to sound like a raving madman. Only

then does the dog lift its nose from the base of the tree to see what the heck you are screaming at, which leads to human error No. 3: praising the dog, even offering a treat when it does this.

Training tip No. 3: the dog did not respond to the recall, it heard obnoxious sounds coming from the direction of its owner, and that perked its interest. It did not come when called, yet the owner thinks the dog heard the recall, rewards the dog, and will very likely do the exact same thing the next time therefore reinforcing the dog ignoring the recall. Silly human, smart dog.

Humans make a lot of mistakes before they change their ways. They are funny like that. They often repeat the same wrong behaviour many times expecting a different outcome instead of learning from their mistake the first time.

When you realize your dog’s recall is scoring an “F” and the only way you can get your dog’s attention on a walk is if you are wearing a Lady Gaga meat suit (Google it), it’s time to go back to the basics of training and take it slow!

A reliable recall takes time and the understanding

DON’T WALK, FLY!

that it is really, really hard for a dog to turn away from a scurrying squirrel or a group of dogs or (insert distraction of choice here).

You have to work very hard and slowly increase the level of distractions over time as well as improve your leadership so that your dog looks to you as a leader worthy of coming to when summoned.

No one likes to hear that their dog does not think they are worthy of coming to. But it’s the truth. If all you do with your dog is go for the occasional walk and feed it, you are the taxi service and the vending machine.

There is no leadership-based relationship here.

When I work with a dog with a poor recall, I invariably spend the very first week teaching leadership skills to the owner and a simple back-to-basics training exercise for the recall, which is where this is leading. My next column will focus on leadership 101 and teaching a reliable recall.

West Vancouver’s Jack Rieder pulls off a high-flying stunt at the Kite Clash Championships held Aug. 26-28 in Squamish. The 16-year-old, who began kiteboarding just two years ago, won the Canadian junior freestyle and international junior open competitions while also picking up a pair of silver medals in senior men’s events.

West Van kiter flies onto podium

Teen cleans up at kiteboard nationals MATTHEW GILMOUR reporter@nsnews.com

West Vancouver’s Jack Rieder dazzled hundreds of spectators at the Kite Clash Championships held in Squamish, Aug. 26-28.

Just 16 years old, Rieder took the competition by storm, winning gold medals in both the Canadian junior freestyle and international junior open competitions. He kept on hitting the podium when he moved up to the senior ranks, adding silver in the Canadian men’s freestyle and men’s kite slalom.

“What placed him ahead of the pack was his consistency,” Kite Clash judge Geoffrey Waterson stated in a press release. “He did well because he didn’t crash and he landed a lot of technical, high level tricks.”

Rieder’s career in Kiteboarding began just two years ago, when at 14 years of age, while sailing in Squamish, he noticed a group of kiteboarders darting in and out of the waves near the beach.

“They were going a whole lot faster and jumping,” Rieder said. “It just looked way more exciting.”

Rieder had to beg his parents for a few months to finally let him take lessons, he said. Two years later, he is one of the top kiters in the country.

Competition at the Kite Clash takes three forms. There is the big air competition, where kiters are judged on the height and style of their jumps. In this category, the wind often carries kiters up to heights of 10-plus metres. The slalom also made its debut this year.

Rieder specializes in the freestyle competition, where kiters

remove their safety harnesses so they can pass the bar behind their backs while completing tricks.

According to Rieder, because they are not attached to their kites, freestylers stay a lot closer to the water when they jump. It turns out “closer to the water” means something very different to Rieder than it would to most people: the pros frequently reach heights of five to six metres while pulling off their tricks.

In freestyle, your score is based on the difficulty of the trick you attempt, the speed at which you enter the jump, your technical execution of the jump and, of course, how wild the crowd goes when you stick the landing.

“It’s kind of a fun part of it,” said Rieder. “If you’re making the crowd all excited, they’ll boost up your score for that.”

Rieder was shown the ropes by some of Canada’s most experienced kiters. In training, he would try to mimic their styles and prove to them that despite his age, he could still keep up with their level of difficulty, he said.

“When I was learning up in

Squamish,” he recalled, “a lot of the guys up there like to do kite loop handle passes, which is a more extreme version of what other juniors were doing (at the competition).”

Squamish a perfect setting From page 24

It is that move that Rieder believes won him the gold medal in both junior competitions. He explained that when you enter the jump if you bring the kite through the centre of the wind it gives a lot more power to the jump.

“The kite goes around in a circle and that brings you up a lot higher,” he said. “Then you do the handle pass.”

He said that by doing this kind of loop before passing the bar behind his back, he was able to reach a height of

about four metres during the competition in Squamish.

The site of the competition was familiar to Rieder.

During the winter season many local kiters don thick wetsuits with hoods and gloves and go to work in the frigid surf off the shore in Tsawwassen. But as soon as the weather turns to summer, it’s back up to Squamish, where Rieder said you find some of the best kiteboarding conditions in the country.

“That spot’s nice and steady,” he said. “It’s the spot everybody waits for in the summer.”

Now with two national championship appearances under his belt, and some hardware to show for it, Rieder will have to make a decision about how far he wants to go with the sport.

“Kiteboarding doesn’t have a lot of money in it right now,” said Rieder. “But it’s growing pretty quickly.”

The sport will never garner the kind of payday that professional hockey and soccer players receive, said Rieder, but he is viewing it as an opportunity to see the world and make a little money in the process.

ROBERTS, Dave June 2, 1939 − September 5, 2016

ADDISON, Patricia (nee Hope) 1929 - 2016 Patricia Addison passed away suddenly on August 29, 2016, at the age of 87. She was deeply loved by her husband of 60 years, Hugh Addison, who predeceased her by a year, and by her sons, Charles (Cynthia Sully) and James. She was a loving and devoted grandmother to Catherine, Heather, Kate, and Erin. She is survived by her sister, Helen Hart (David Hart) in Eastbourne, England, and her nieces Clare Hart, Ruth Hart and her nephew, Anthony Hart. She is also remembered by her many good friends and her extended family. In addition to her beloved husband, Hugh, she was predeceased by her parents, Jack and Alexandrina Hope. Patricia was born in Edmonton, Alberta, in 1929. She grew up loving art and playing the piano. She spent many happy days with her family at their cottage at Ma-Me-O Beach at Pigeon Lake, Alberta, along with her many relatives and friends. After high school she went to work for Rule, Wynn, and Rule, a leading Alberta architectural firm. She ultimately became office manager in the Edmonton office.

Patricia always spoke fondly of a trip she made with Helen and other friends to Europe by ocean liner from New York in the early 1950’s at a time when you could walk around Seville, Spain, before there were any tourists and when you packed your best clothes to visit the casino in Monte Carlo.

In 1955 she met the love of her life, Hugh Addison.

Patricia and Hugh were married in Edmonton in 1956 and started to build a life together. After her two sons came along, the family moved to North Vancouver in 1964 for Hugh’s new job and then to West Vancouver, which was where Hugh was from. Patricia always cared deeply for her family and worked hard to support them by believing in them and looking after the family home. Over the years, Patricia made many friends in a variety of activities from her bridge group where so many young families came to know each other, to her quilting group when the kids had all left home.

Patricia volunteered regularly in her community through a variety of organizations over the years.

She and Hugh travelled extensively to many locations around the world. Patricia was always there with a comforting shoulder if things weren’t going quite right. In retirement, she spent many happy years with Hugh at their vacation home on Saltspring Island tending to their garden and playing golf with many friends including, Bill and Mary Hogg. In her later years, she continued to be active in the community and with friends.

She loved all her granddaughters deeply and was fiercely proud of them. After Hugh’s passing last year, it took her some time to recover, but in recent months she had found peace and comfort in the warmth of her home. She continued to watch the ships sail past while sitting on the deck of her home feeling the warm rays of the sun on her face. Patricia lived a full life. She was and is loved and will be deeply missed.

Patricia’s family would like to thank Janice, Heather, and Socki for enabling her to remain in her home over the past year. There will be a gathering to remember Patricia at 1 pm on Sunday, October 2.

For more information regarding the gathering contact Hollyburn Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, a donation to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation would be appreciated. For those wishing to share a memory of Patricia, please go to www.Hollyburnfunerals.com.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dave Roberts in West Vancouver. Born in London, UK, Dave is survived by loving wife, Valerie Way, children Joy and Glen, sister Carol Rose, family and friends. Passions included music, photography, sailing, travel and nature. Donations to the David Suzuki Foundation appreciated.

Special thanks to the staff of the Capilano Care Centre for their loving care of Dave. A Celebration of Life will be at 3PM, October 29, 2016 at the North Shore Unitarian Church.

GILLETT, Kevin J. February 21, 1949 − September 1, 2016

It is with heavy hearts that Kevin’s family announces his unexpected passing. Survived by wife, Genevieve, daughters Sarah and Elodie, three grandchildren Eloise, Felix and Johnny, and siblings Nigel and Joanna. Will be remembered as a loving husband, Dad and Papi who prioritized family, friends and travel. Celebration of Life scheduled for September 16th, 4PM at 580 Robin Hood Road, West Vancouver. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to heartandstroke.com.

ARCHER nee Reeds, Margaret Ruth May 12, 1922 − September 4, 2016

With great sadness, we announce the sudden death of our mother, grandmother and great− grandmother, Ruth Archer, at the age of 94.

Predeceased by her husband, Rev. Major William Archer, in 1996, Ruth leaves behind her daughters Elizabeth Ellis (Henry) and Margaret Garnett (Don), her son Reed (Luise), grandchildren David (Hilary), Christine, Adrian (Kimberly), Jay and Leslie and great−grandchildren Quinn, Quinn and Fern. Ruth enjoyed her busy life as a military chaplain’s wife, posted in many different bases across Canada.

She was active in the United Church from an early age, playing the organ at services, teaching Sunday school, leading Bible studies, hosting church functions and baking thousands of cookies for events and Christmas craft sales. She was happiest being with her family or sitting by a campfire. The family welcomes you to join them at a memorial service on Friday, September 9, at 2PM at North Lonsdale United Church, 3380 Lonsdale Avenue, North Vancouver. Reception to follow.

SLATER, Queenie May June 3, 1932 – August 30, 2016 With heartache we announce the gentle passing of our adored “Q” after a brief illness.

Born Queenie May Gunderson in Alert Bay, B.C., Queenie married William (Bill) Slater in 1957. They settled in North Vancouver in 1964 to raise their three daughters: Stephanie, Melinda and Scenery.

Bill and “the girls” are joined in grief by grandsons Dylan and Ryder McRae; sons-in-law, George McRae, Roy Reichgeld and Brian Casilio; sisters Joyce O’Conner, Jessie Roland and Vera Gunnarsen; sister-in-law Linda Gunderson; and many nieces, nephews and friends. Many family members and friends were able to visit her in hospice, ensuring that her death - like her life - was filled with laughter and love.

“Our family is comforted by the thought of Queenie being reunited with her adored brother “Johnnyboy” and nephews Kevin and Mark O’Connor.” “You sure had “a good run” Q. Love and miss you always.”

A memorial service will be held at the West Vancouver Seniors’ Activity Centre, 695 21st Street, Sunday, Sept. 25 at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Paul Sugar Palliative Support Foundation, the BC SPCA, or the charity of your choice.

RICKARD, Chester Ludlow February 10, 1915 to September 1, 2016 A great man, he lived a long and full life, for 75 years married to his Winnie Girl, the love of his life.

A long-time resident of West Vancouver, Ches was a man of many passions. He began his airline career with Trans-Canada Air Lines (which later became Air Canada) in 1937 as a radio operator and after obtaining his pilot’s licence flew as a distinguished pilot for the remainder of his 36 year career. In his spare time he built a number of boats including Winsome III, lV and X, and was a keen racer. Winsome III won the Swiftsure Lightship Race three years running. He was a long-time member of both RVYC and WVYC. Ches and Winn sailed offshore for 7 years, coming home to visit family in the summer months. They loved to travel and they shared their boating lifestyle with friends and family. For many years Ches joined a morning “check in” with old friends on the ham radio net.

VE7CCH has signed off a final time.

Ches is survived by his daughters, Dianna and Joanie, and by his sons-in-law Rod Maddison, Fred Carter and Jim Charlesworth. His wife Winn and daughter Lynnie passed away before him. He leaves 10 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and 7 great-great-grandchildren. He was an admired and loved father and Grampa.

Thank you to all the wonderful people who were part of Ches’s life in the last few years, especially his caregiver team lead by Barb and Merly. He was very loved and cared for. A private family celebration will be held later in October when Ches and Winn’s ashes will be interred at the Gabriola Island Cemetery. Many happy hours were spent on Gabriola and the surrounding waters during their lives.

WILLIAMS, Tula Liv November 15, 1921 − August 31, 2016

Tula passed away peacefully at the age of 94 with her loving family by her side. She arrived from Norway in 1923 and settled in North Vancouver, where she proudly remained for her entire life.

As a young woman, Tula loved to Jitterbug and Highland Fling dance. She played the accordion, was an avid card player, and loved her home of 53 years, where she remained until the age of 91. She worked at the Burrard Shipyards during the Second World War, and after becoming a single mother, went on to support herself and her two children by working at such places as the Capilano Suspension Bridge, One Hour Martinizing in Edgemont Village, and Sears.

She was one of six children born to Henrik and Jenny Caspersen, and was predeceased by all of her siblings: Alvhild Beck, Arne, twin brother Leif, Evelyn Gatter, and Alice Holm. She is survived by her beloved and devoted children Karen Hedges, Bradley Williams and daughter−in−law Christine, grandchildren Jamie Hedges (Gordana) and Kristie Fuchs (Sean), great granddaughters Zoe, Amy, Natalie and Emma, as well as many loving nieces and nephews.

She spent her final years in Evergreen House under the care of the capable and outstanding staff of 3 South. The family wishes to thank Dr. P. Schwartz, Dr. R. Puddicombe, and Dr. P. Montemuro for all of their care and kindness as well as all of the nurses and care aides that made Tula’s final years warm and dignified.

She will certainly be missed. Her family will remember the strength that she demonstrated, and strive to uphold the values that she instilled.

No service by request, but the family will celebrate her life at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please have a cup of coffee with your family in her memory.

PARSONS, Kenneth R. August 27, 1927 − September 4, 2016

Kenneth Robinson Parsons passed away peacefully at the age of 89 on September 4, 2016 at the Inglewood Care Centre in West Vancouver.

Ken was predeceased by his sister Phyllis. He leaves behind his loving wife of 64 years, Irene, daughters Lori Staehling (Rick) and Jennifer Parsons, grandsons Andrew and Marc, great− grandchildren Robert and Angelica.

Ken graduated from UBC in 1950 with a degree in Electrical Engineering. In 1952 he and Irene married. In 1956 he began a long career with Sandwell Engineering and that same year the couple built their first home in North Vancouver where they raised their two daughters. Ken and family lived in Chile, Portugal and Brazil when he was transferred by his company to work on the electrical design of pulp and paper mills in those countries − a great experience for the whole family.

In more recent years, Ken developed vascular dementia. In December 2014, needing more support, he moved to Inglewood Care Centre where Irene visited him daily. The family would like to thank the staff of the Upper Terrace and Upper Lodge at Inglewood for their compassionate and caring treatment of Ken. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather and is deeply missed by his family.

A service has not been arranged at this time but may be announced at a later date. We ask that no flowers be sent, but memories of happy times shared instead.
