What It’s All About. http://prophou

The PropHouse Cafe was concieved and started on the dream of keeping Arts & Culture alive for the middle to low income artists in the City of Vancouver and The West Coast of North America. A community cafe that supports all nationalities of people, from young children to senior citizens. A creative space for artists, writers, poets, photographers, film-makers, musicians and much much more. We have

free WiFi for Social Innovation and Social Media that is so much of where our creativity is heading these days. The cafe's staff is mostly young musicians and songwriters that are learning others trades in the service industry. We understand that Music Therapy can help to Promote Wellness, Manage Stress, Alleviate Pain, Express Feelings, Enhance Memory, Improve Communication and Promote Physical Rehabillitation. For this reason, the cafe has many musical instruments that it keeps out in the open for musicians to play, including a 1957 Heintzman Piano that was bought at the Woodwards Store in downtown Vancouver. We also like to play old school Vinyl Records, and have at least 2000 to choose from. Music - The other non-addictive, mood altering non-substance, Ask your Doctor if music is right for you - Common side effects include but are not limited to uncontrolled head bobbing, toe tapping, finger snapping, selective hearing impairment and persistent melody flashbacks. We hope that you will help to support us too, and will drop by for something to drink and/or eat. We shop daily for fresh food ingredients, and try our best to make healthy food to feed your healthy mind. We serve a variety of fresh and healthy food, and believe we have the BEST VEGGIE BURGER in the WORLD ! - and you can build it the way you like it.

Famous Stanley Park Totem Pole being removed on September 4, 2024.

Kwakwakaʼwakw artist Ellen Neel from Alert Bay, B.C. carved this Totem Pole in a carving pavilion at Ferguson Point, Stanley Park in 1955. It was commissioned by Chunky Woodward for a new Woodward's Department Store in Westmount Shopper's Park in Edmonton, Alberta. Apparently, there was 5 totem poles commissioned.

The Kakaso'las totem pole as it would become known, was carved by Ellen Neel, with help from her son's Robert, Dave and John. Some reports have her uncle Mungo Martin also helping with the pole. The Kakaso'las name was actually given to Ellen Neal during a potlatch ceremony, which is a custom to many First Nations peoples.

The Kakaso'las totem pole has been in decline for many years, as the weather, bugs and birds have been all over while it has been displayed in Stanley Park with the other totem poles there. There are actual holes in the head of the Thunderbird at the top.

The Museum of Anthropology / MOA originally acquired and loaned the Kakaso'las totem pole to Vancouver Parks Board in 1985 for display at Ferguson Point. MOA will also be involved in the preservation (restoration), and put the Kakaso'las totem pole on display in their museum when finished. The family of Ellen Neel will also be involved, as traditions have protocols to honor.

What are the figures on the Kakaso'las totem pole.
From bottom to top.
A Raven, A Dzunukwa, A Bak'was:"wildman of the woods", A Frog, A Man, A Sea Bear holding a Orca Whale and the Thunderbird at the top.

Ellen Neel is considered to be the 1st Woman Carver of First Nations Art, and has inspired many after her. She learned from her grandfather Charlie James (Yakuglas) and her uncle Mungo Martin.

NOTE
The totem pole in background is called the Sky Chief Pole.

If any of my Facebook friends are interested.
Tomorrow (Monday) before the Canucks game 7, CBC Radio have invited me back to talk some Hockey with them about 4pm.

I will be chatting with Amy Bell from On The Coast radio show.
I last chatted with her about the Canucks in late September, just before the NHL season was about to start.

Go Canucks Go 🏒🥅

I attended my old bike racing teammate and friend Andrew Hansen celebration of life on this past Sunday at Deep Cove Yacht Club. I had asked Andy to join a team I was helping to put together in early 1981, which would be his 1st bike racing team.....He later went on to become BC Champion and Canadian Road Race Champion, so I guess I can spot quality.

Lot's of people there, but surprising only a couple of old good racers stepped up to speak......we even had a old National Team coach there that I thought would speak, But didn't. I figured I had better get up then and say a few words about Andy The Hammer Hansen... I was unprepared and just winged it, but happy with the response I got.

Brent Mudry one of the racers that spoke told a story about the old Whistler Road Race we used to have, and while listening to his story I was thinking that's not how the start of the race went, so I went digging and found my old scrap book from those days and found some old clippings and stuff, so I thought I would share with Y'all.

Prior to the race start, I was concerned about the large field of racers and the narrow Squamish highway, so I went to many of the top riders to voice my concerns, telling them I would be warmed up at races start, and I was going to break the field up before we hit the Squamish Hwy. I set a blistering pace, and you can see me at the front of the peloton leading the pack, and I wrote on photo many years ago who my teammates were and the winner Paul.

By the time we got to the start of the Squamish Hwy, 5 of us had a nice big gap on the field and they never caught our 5 man breakaway. Paul Tettamanti, Bob McWhinnie, some American and Joel Sagard

I did too much work at the start and paid for it as we approached Whistler, as I was really suffering and just barely held on to our group as we got to the top of Alta Lake hill on the backside of Whistler, and when we came back towards towncenter and the Whistler Village gate, my legs went like rubber bands. I remember a kid on a 1 speed BMX bike passing me up the final climb to the top of BlackComb parking lot, but I was determined to finish and passed out right after the finish line. I recovered and finished 7th overall for the 3 races that weekend.

The other photo is of the 1982 Gastown Grand Prix (1983 program) and you can see me kinda near the front....left side in Red Jersey with white and black strips getting ready for the corner....Andy is a few riders to my right (blue helmet), and I finished in 13th place. The newspaper clipping is from the 1983 Gastown Grand Prix where I finished in 16th place.

Not bad for a street kid from Kits with no family support.

In the past, some women left their mark on history for such beauty that it shook the hearts of powerful men. And although some argue that beauty is not everything, it certainly helps to open up paths never traveled before.
