North Vancouver city council says staff’s cycling plan doesn’t go far enough to expand cycling infrastructure and appeal in the city TODD COYNE S Ta f f R e p O RT e R

Arriving this summer!

City puts pedal to metal on cycling growth plan

he City of North Vancouver is ramping up its efforts to increase the number of cyclists on city streets up to 15-fold by 2040.

The move came as staff delivered a report to council Monday on planned changes to the city’s street bylaws and infrastructure intended to encourage residents to mount up more often for short trips within the city. The proposed changes include reducing speed limits below 50 kilometres along bicycle route streets and installing more bike signals at intersections. Both measures are seen as safety improvements which will reduce fears among would-be riders and “increase cycling among women, children and older adults,” according to staff. But council voted unanimously — absent Coun. Rod Clark — that the report did not go far enough to meet the city’s bicycle master plan target of a 15-per-cent bicycle mode share for all trips less than eight kilometres by 2040. “I’m not disappointed with staff’s report. I think there’s some good steps here, but I don’t think it goes far enough,” Mayor Darrell Mussatto said. “Simply by reducing speed limits and then getting bike signals, I think that’s just one small point and I think we need to look at the bigger picture.” Staff data from 2008 suggests cycling at that time had a mode share of less than one per cent, although those numbers are thought to have increased in the five years since. In fact, since 2006 the city has built up its on-street bike lanes and dedicated cycling infrastructure by 65 per cent, a factor likely to have increased the transit mode’s popularity among residents, though more recent data is unavailable. At the meeting, council also heard from Heather Drugge, a representative from HUB, Metro Vancouver’s preeminent cycling advocacy group. Her message was for more separated bike lanes in the city as a means to promote more family-friendly riding, as well as lower speed limits and more bike-activated signals at intersections. Only barrier-separated bike lanes actually increase bike ridership, Drugge said, while lanes simply painted on the shoulder of a street do not. However, painted lanes only cost on average of about $100,000 per kilometre, while a separated lane or dedicated cycling path — which can increase ridership by up to 30 per cent — will typically cost about $400,000 and $600,000 per kilometre, respectively, she said. “We can do more and we have to do more,” Mayor Darrell Mussatto said. “Perhaps we need to be a bit more creative. Maybe where the bike routes are we allow some parking in the lane, for example. So if we do remove some parking in front of some places, we allow a corresponding increase in parking right in the lane right next to it. “I just don’t know why we haven’t discussed that here at the city, yet,” Mussatto continued. “I’ve been asking for at least 10 years on that and haven’t really had a good response yet.” The mayor went on to address the impacts of helmet bylaws on bike ridership and suggested mandatory helmet laws may be doing more harm than good for some would-be riders. “The helmet bylaw has some challenges — I think it discourages a lot of people from riding,” said the former B.C. ambulance paramedic of more than 25 years. “There’s a negative benefit to that because you don’t get the healthy activity.” He added: “In my years as a paramedic, very few of them would I see that a helmet made much of a difference. It was always broken arms or scrapes and such.” Staff are expected to report back to council with an expanded cycling infrastructure plan by the fall. tcoyne@northshoreoutlook.com twitter.com/toddcoyne

‘Coworking’ revolution comes to the North Shore Zen Launchpad, a collaborative, creative start-up for freelancers and entrepreneurs takes off in North Vancouver TODD COYNE S Ta f f R e p O RT e R

t’s a recent, big-city phenomenon born of high rents and the lone entrepreneur’s need to collaborate with like-minded people. But now “coworking” has arrived on the North Shore with the opening this week of Zen Launchpad, a tech startup-leaning workspace and all around proving ground for new projects and businesses. The coworking concept is a fairly informal one wherein members of a space such as Zen’s East First Street address pay a nominal monthly fee to work in the flexible office space while taking advantage of the expertise of the others in the room and sharing their own skills and business ideas. “It’s really just about helping new businesses and social enterprises get started with our infrastructure,” said Zen co-founder Cyri Jones in an interview with The Outlook. “And then the other side is just pure coworking for people that are working from home or the coffee shop, which are sometimes not as productive as they could be.” For an entry-level $75 a month, a member can use the space — which includes a board room, office, meeting rooms, kitchen, media room and software — up to once per week. From there the fee scale rises to include more time in-office as well as tech courses,

networking bootcamps and the expertise of staff like Jones, who also teaches business and technology at Capilano University. “It’s taking the sharing and collaborative approach rather than competitively doing everything and hiding under the radar,” he said. “There’s been a real mind shift and people realize that actually getting your idea out in the open and sharing it is a good thing.” While Jones’s “start-up start-up” is the first business of its kind on the North Shore, similar enterprises have sprung up recently in Vancouver, though many of those are set up more as investment funds which often take a cut of profits as member companies grow and are successful, Jones said. “A lot of them take a percentage equity of the companies that go through and that’s usually how they make their money,” he said, noting that while hitech and mobile-phone app development is big in the coworking business, Zen Launchpad is open to consumer product development of any kind. “In our case, we’re not taking equity from the starting companies, we’re just getting it from our associated services.” And with about a half-dozen local companies already interested in using the Zen space before its official launch, the demand on Jones’s North Van enterprise has almost outstripped his 1,600-square-foot Lower Lonsdale office

space. “We’re looking to expand now to another location nearby,” he said. “It seems like there’s a real need here as people don’t necessarily want to go

downtown.”

The Scoop on Garden Waste Not all green waste is the same. It may be tempting to toss garden waste over your back fence or in your neighbourhood park, but this introduces plants that can quickly overtake the natural vegetation in our green spaces and even impact buildings and roads. Please dispose of all your garden waste and hanging baskets - including soil, dead plants and clippings - into your backyard compost or curbside green waste collection. All invasive plants should only go into curbside green waste collection, except Knotweed and Giant Hogweed as these require special care. For more information, visit www.cnv.org/Invasives

CUPE blames Outdoor School layoffs on ‘privatization’ CUPE is accusing the North Vancouver school district of outsourcing labour; school district says it’s all part of Outdoor School restructuring TODD COYNE S TA F F R E P O RT E R

he union representing eight of the 21 staff who will lose their jobs at the North Vancouver Outdoor School this summer are blaming the layoffs on the “privatization” of the North Vancouver school district-owned site.

We have much to be grateful for. My family and I wish you & yours a very happy Canada Day!

604.981.1790

“We are very disappointed,” said Cindy McQueen, president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 389, in a phone interview with The Outlook Monday. “We view it as privatization, but we’re waiting for future documents from the employer.” The layoffs come as the school district tries to reverse the failing fortunes of the 40-year-old Brackendale-area wilderness education centre, which consistently operates at a deficit of about $400,000 a year, said school district spokeswoman Victoria Miles. That nagging cost is routinely absorbed by the school district’s regular K-12 programming, something the school district is confident it can reverse by 2015 with the right Outdoor School restructuring, Miles said. The restructuring began in earnest two years ago with the construction of a new $5.8-million North Shore Credit Union Environmental Learning Centre atop the 420-acre B:10.33” Outdoor School site. At the time of its completion last August, T:10.33” the centre’s project manager, Cathy Jenkins, S:10.33”

told The Outlook the newly designed classrooms, gallery, amphitheatre and meeting rooms would prove more attractive to corporate and business clients, drawing conferences, training workshops and retreats to the centre. And, with them, new funding. Also around the time the construction began in 2011, the school district signed up Listel Hotels to help manage the Outdoor School venue and market it as a destination for eco-tourism day-trippers, while continuing its use for school district field trips. “This is part of a long-term campus revitalization,” Miles told The Outlook, adding the district plans to eventually open the school and its ecological reserve acreage year-round. “It has huge potential and an untapped capacity we’d like to see fully realized and that means a new operating model and some changes to staff.” Asked why the 21 support staff now facing layoffs from their clerical, maintenance and food services duties didn’t fit with the school district’s new plans for the site, Miles indicated costs. “It’s looking at costs of delivering the program, and the flexibility and the model they need to deliver an expanded scope of operations,” Miles said. Staff cuts are only one step towards making the Outdoor School financially viable, she added. continued, PAGE 31

Bike networking needed

Great to see council taking a real interest on biking. Painting a bike on a road doesn’t really increase safety, and while the wonderful Spirit Trail should be lauded; it is way off tucked in the corner, not on any sort of actual commuting route. We also have the problem of routes randomly cutting off for cyclists. As an example next time you drive down 3rd notice how often there is a bike lane which then

completely cuts off the next intersection, then magically starts again. Imagine if roads for cars worked like that, you could drive a block, then you’d have to get out and air lift your car to the next block. Cities around the world have shown that if a connected separate bike path is created along commuting routes people will use it. No one is forcing families with small kids, elderly folks, or people who need their car for work

to use the lanes. All that is needed is a relatively small connected network, and if even a small percentage convert over to bike (which has been shown many times in other cities, hilly or not) it will alleviate the congestion on roads, and provide a reasonable solution for our growing population.

t’s where the stylish go to see and be seen. The annual Brian Jessel Cabriolet Gala is one of this city’s most prominent fundraisers and it’s well known for high fashion, fast cars, beautiful people and celebrity entertainment. As always, many North Shore faces were among the crowd on this 8th anniversary contributing as both sponsors and supporters. Burlesque dancers and go-go girls helped warm up the room before the live auction. Fabulous food, supplied by many of Vancouver’s leading restaurants, was served during the reception which also included a silent auction. Then it was time to clear the stage for up-and-coming singer Rosette who was followed by headlining musician Colin James. All funds raised go to support the Canadian Cancer Society.

The North Shore was a cradle of the contemporary West Coast Modernism movement that began in the 1950s. Sadly, many of the majestic homes designed by modernist masters like Ron Thom and Peter Pratt have since been butchered or torn down. But a few still exist, and you can get a glimpse inside them by signing up for the West Vancouver Museum’s eighth annual West Coast Modern Home Tour on July 13. Five homes are on the tour, including a pair designed by Ron Thom of Thompson, Berwick and Pratt, in 1958 and 1961, one that “embraces complex interlocking hexagonal modules and the other “characterized by a simple rectilinear grid.” Also included on the tour are The Downs Residence 11 (1979) Carmichael Residence, designed photographed by urbanpictures. by Barry com. Downs, a 1960s postand-beam recently renovated by Gavin Froome, one of the directors of the film Coast Modern, and a new home that is the first structure in North America to use Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) as the primarily building material. After the tour, a reception follows at the Eagle Harbour Yacht Club. Tour is from noon to 4 p.m. and reception goes from 4-6 p.m. Cost is $90. Tickets are going fast.

dIscoveR sAndy cove West vAncoUveR

Sandy Cove beach can be difficult to find but it’s worth the journey. Although there isn’t a prominent sign, the trail down to the sand is off Marine Drive and Rose Crescent in West Vancouver. Sandy Cove is a quaint public beach for people wanting to escape the crowds at Ambleside and Dundarave. There is a washroom but the area is way too small for a concession stand so don’t forget a picnic. Reviews online say the hidden beach can be boring for older children but perfect for younger children and adults wanting to relax. Other reviews say Sandy Cove is one of the best swimming beaches with a great view. As with visiting any beach, make sure to check the tide tables before you go; Sandy Cove is best at mid-tide. The trek back up from the beach is a bit steep so make sure everyone in your group is OK with climbing stairs for around five minutes. Also, it can be difficult to find parking but watch for spots up the side streets.

Camping at Granite Falls definitely isn’t for everyone but those who do will enjoy one of the best areas of Indian Arm. Eighteen kilometres from Deep Cove, Granite Falls is only accessible by boat and it takes three to four hours to paddle to. Part of Indian Arm Provincial Park, the rustic camping site has a nice beach, public dock and outhouse but nowhere to buy extra food and supplies so come prepared. Camping is first come, first served. Granite Falls is in the core traditional territory of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, who call the area Say Nuth Khaw Yum (“Serpent’s Land”). There are protected archaeological sites nearby. Surrounding areas have several alpine lakes, numerous creeks as well as Granite Falls’s 50-metre high waterfall. Don’t forget your fishing pole and appropriate licence. The Indian River has salmon, sea-run cutthroat, steelhead, rockfish and bottom fish. The pink salmon run starts in July and runs until October. You will need detailed directions to get there, but here are the basics: Paddle the west shore of Crocker Island then take the west channel between Crocker Island and the mainland. One you get to the northern end of the island, Granite Falls is on the east shore. continued, PAGE 35

rent Comber is finally back where it all started.

Then a new carver somewhat unsure of his work, he held his first show at VanDusen Garden on a rainy day 19 years ago. While presenting his work to passersby he noticed an elderly woman sitting on a bench he designed. “I thought ‘Oh no she’s going to get a sliver’ and this was my first show,” Comber recalls with a laugh in his studio at the base of Second Narrows Bridge. But her visit turned out to be much more profound. Running her hand along the bench, she told him the wood he uses brings back fond memories of her late grandfather who once took her on trips to the beach. It turns out Comber’s grandfather used to drive street cars full of workers to the shipyards, and the wood used for the bench was salvaged from the area. “I realized I’m not the only one who has a powerful connection to this material,” he says

of the day that solidified his career. But he never had a chance to thank the stranger because, turning away for just a moment to answer a question, she mysteriously disappeared. “She just vanished. She would have had to walk up a hill, I would have seen her walk away,” he says, still perplexed. **** After nearly two decades, Comber is showing his work for the second time at VanDusen Garden. Pale Shadows, a new sculpture, is part of the botanical garden’s Touch Wood exhibit from July 30 to this fall. Expect to see large-scale stacked posts made from fir, a primarily antiquated building material that Comber has reintroduced back in to the landscape. The bold arboreal spires consist of 10 poles ranging from three to eight feet. “I like scale,” the fourth-generation North Vancouver native tells The Outlook. “I like to keep it large, it doesn’t make sense to cut it up into small pieces.” And that’s exactly what he does with Pale Shadows, a series of sculptures that highlight the history of fir in building design. Comber says humans can relate to wood in ways they can’t with other materials. “Feel the warmth. It’s different than stone,” he says, placing his hand on a sphere of wood in the centre of his studio. “We can count the rings and see our own mortality in it. It relates to our own lifespan.” The show, Touch Wood, was curated by Celia Duthie and Nicholas Hunt of the Duthie Gallery on Salt Spring Island and features two dozen wood sculptures and installations by prominent B.C. artists including Michael Dennis, Alastair Heseltine and Martha Varcoe Sturdy. Comber will also be showing his Nine Sentinels, a circle of nine-inch maple forms and 60-inch illuminated Shattered Spheres. Since his visit with the vanishing lady 19 years ago, he’s made carving into a full-time job without any formal woodworking education. His aesthetic interpretation of the Pacific Northwest and its natural materials can be seen in hotels, restaurants, office buildings and retail stores in Ireland, Japan, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Seattle and Vancouver, to name a few. In 2011, he received the BC Creative Achievement Award and his sculpture Serene was purchased by Tokyo’s Design Association and presented to the prime minister of Japan and then toured the country to help promote environmental consciousness. More recently he designed Nightswimming for SFU’s UniverCity childcare centre’s oneyear anniversary. “They used to use big fir posts for construction,” Comber says, pointing up to his studio’s ceiling in one of the oldest buildings on the marina. “They’re 12 by 12 fir posts, this is how the West was built.” continued, PAGE 25

Domaine du Dragon 2012 Cuvee Prestige | $23.99

’m going to step up onto a familiar soapbox of mine this week, and a rather well-worn one at that. I’ll start out by sharing that I’ve long been a proponent of drinking pink (or Rosé) wines the whole year through, whether they’re French, Spanish, Italian, B.C. or anywhere else. My constant beef is with those who deny themselves the joy of a good, dry Rosé for the majority of the year; instead relegating them to our too-few hot and sunny months here in British Columbia. You see, I’ve just never bought into the quite-common perception that they’re strictly “summer” wines. We drink white wines during the winter after all, so the fact that it’s served chilled doesn’t rationalize the seasonality argument for me. The aspect of drinking pink wines that I feel bolsters my argument most, is that they make such good food-pairing wines. From steak to seafood and an abundance of vegetables, almost everything is fair game. Winter highlights in particular include the perfect pairing for Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey, your Easter ham and more. Alas, it’s such an easier sell in the summer, and why wouldn’t it be? A cheery wine style that’s bright and thirst-quenching, not to mention perfect for your barbecue, can only add light to our sunny days. So I’m going to share these great new discoveries that are fresh from Provence, the French home to killer Rosé for the last, oh, 2,600 years or so. The only thing I ask is that you drink ’em all year long.

Chateau d’Astros 2012 | $19.99

A fairly classic Provençal blend of Grenache, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon surges the palate with mandarin orange

Predominantly Cinsault and Syrah, this one offers the most aromatic, sweet flavours of this week’s quartet, but still finishes quite dry. Violets on the nose, pretty indicative of Provence, give way to watermelon, cotton candy and Pink Lady apples. A good balance for the sweet and salty dynamic of pissaladière; the classic onion tart from around these parts.

Mas de Cadenet Rosé 2012 Sainte Victoire | $24.99

A good dose of complexity here; again with violet or lavender on the nose, but the palate sings with a whole heap of fruit: Lemon! Gooseberry! Currant! Strawberry! With each sip, you’ll find a little something extra. Food-wise, if it swims — it should pair up perfectly. Foncalieu 2012 Moulin de Rogne | $15.99

Some fantastic citrus intensity here. Kaffir lime leaf, lemongrass and Meyer lemon all mingle quite well with a handful of huckleberries. Grill up some saltcrusted steaks and pour liberally! For optimal summer fun, I recommend you try a couple of these side-by-side to compare and contrast their styles.

Ermenegildo Giusti pulls out his iPhone and finds a photo of a painting. It’s one he did of a woman in classic style — a shawl draped over her shoulder, demurely revealing her naked torso. Then he pours a glass of Giusti Prosecco, made on a family estate he’s created in Italy’s Montello region. “Wine is like art,” he says. “The colour, the flavour, the passion in it. Life has to be full of passion.” Last week, Dr. Giusti was back in Vancouver — he moved his construction and oil and gas businesses to Alberta when the NDP was elected in B.C. — to launch the availability of three Giusti Proseccos: Brut, Dry and Extra Dry. He helped to plant the vines in 2006 and has put his heart into the property. “My vineyards are like a garden,” he says. For instance, the grass is cut around the vine so most of the soil’s energy goes into the Prosecco (Glera) grapes. The three Giusti Proseccos will be available in private liquor stores in Vancouver this week. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, you don’t have to travel far to get your fix. Just head down to Second and Lonsdale and look for the Cinnamon’s Chocolates sign. Opened by master confectioner Tom Cinnamon and his wife 13 years ago, the handmade chocolates and confections are legendary in these parts. Here you’ll find a wide range of boxed chocolates, chocolate trays, chocolate covered fresh strawberries, brittle, carmel corn, butter-crunch and double fudge brownie mix. On Cinnamon’s website there’s even an online chocolate gift registry. Cinnamon’s is located at 119 East Second St., cinnamons.ca.

Hospital foundation raising money for new orthopedic equipment Lions Gate Hospital Foundation working to raise $1.2 million for the team that treats more than 15,000 patients annually JUSTIN BEDDALL EdITor

fter a nasty spill on the ski hill or mountain bike trail they usually end up at Lions Gate Hospital, where it’s up to Dr. Alan Baggoo and his team to put crash victims back together again. Ditto for those who’ve had a bad fall while gardening or those who may need a knee or hip replacement. The orthopedic doctors at LGH spend a lot of time dressed in surgery scrubs. “Wrist fracture has to be number one,” says Dr. Baggoo, head of LGH’s department of orthopedic surgery. Elderly slip-and-falls and snowboarding are the most common culprits when it comes to that particular injury. And while broken wrists are the most frequent, there are lots of other injuries to feet, legs, knees, shoulders, arms and hands that Dr. Baggoo and LGH’s other orthopedic surgeons are kept busy with. More than 15,000 patients arrive at LGH with orthopedic-related injuries each year. Of that number nearly 1,400 require emergency surgery — which means more than half of the emergency surgeries done annually at the North Van hospital are orthopedic. Surgeons here also perform 1,000-plus knee and hip replacements per year.

Dr. Alan Baggoo, head of LGH’s department of orthopedic surgery and Judy Savage, president of the Lions Gate Hosptial Foundation. Jennifer Gauthier photo “Orthopedic is a major presence at Lions Gate Hospital,” says Dr. Baggoo, who has been instrumental in establishing the orthopedic trauma care delivery guidelines at the busy hospital. There are two factors at play that explain the high volume of orthopedic cases at LGH. Firstly, the North Shore is a mecca for for high-impact outdoor pursuits, like mountain biking and skiing, which translates to a steady stream of postfall ER visits (plus the hospital is also

CLEARANCE

the main trauma centre for Sunshine Coast, Whistler and Pemberton, which also draw huge numbers of outdoor enthusiasts). And secondly, there’s a very active seniors population here that wants to remain mobile, which means more joint replacement surgeries. That confluence of demographics has put a growing strain on Dr. Baggoo and the department’s other nine surgeons and specialized nurses. That’s why the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation has embarked on a cam-

paign to raise $1.2 million for the orthopedic team. Judy Savage, president of the LGHF, says it the first time in her 11 years with the foundation that they’ve dedicated a campaign to orthopedics. Every year the foundation looks at the priorities of the hospital and embarks on fundraising initiatives. “We have to be very strategic for what we’re raising money for,” she says. With money raised through this campaign, the foundation is hoping to purchase a new fracture table, specialized X-Ray machine, new power tools and other equipment for the orthopedic team. “Their tools become obsolete pretty quickly and need replacement and that’s what this campaign is about,” says Savage. And that means more volume and higher standards of care. Since kicking off the campaign in March they’ve raised over $900,000. Savage says the donations have ranged from $10 to $255,000 from “one of our very generous regular low-profile donors.” Savage says the foundation is “so incredibly grateful” for that generosity, and notes that smaller donations mean “just as much as the larger ones.” “The campaign is incredibly important to our hospital and our community — it has such far-reaching benefits,” she says. “Reduced wait-times, faster recovery. It’s about getting people back to their active lives.” For more about the campaign, go to lghfoundation.com.

Investigators also seized some of the diving equipment worn by the victim at the time of the incident for their investigation, according to West Van police spokesman Const. Jeff Palmer. “The investigation is still ongoing and the primary focus is just to explain how she came to be in the medical distress that she was,” Palmer told The Outlook. “Once we’re in a position where we can explain that then we can make an informed decision about what direction the file either goes or doesn’t go.” Palmer said other witnesses in the water at the time have also been interviewed and gave statements. The divers were not thought to be at depths below 30 feet at the time of the incident. By Tuesday the victim continued to recover and was breathing and moving around on her own, according to police. tcoyne@northshoreoutlook.com twitter.com/toddcoyne

Fresh rumour

Guido’s Barber Shop owner Dastan Dargalaii (left) and fellow barber Tony Michaud.

Businesses may come and go on Lonsdale, but Guido’s Barber Shop is a mainstay. Guido set up shop on North Vancouver’s central corridor in the 1970s. When he retired seven years ago, the new owners — Dastan and Banaz Dargalaii — retained the business name and Guido’s legacy on Lonsdale. Dastan figures he stays in business by offering a basic, good haircut without the frills. He’s not immune to rent increases on Lonsdale, he simply adjusts his prices prudently so Banaz Dargalaii, as to not lose his customers. co-owner of Guido’s On this occasion, longtime client Josee Michaud has walked in for her usual haircut. Barber Shop, cuts Only today, the North Vancouver French teacher learns she shares the same last name as longtime customer one of the shop’s barbers, Tony Michaud. Josee Michaud’s hair. “Maybe we are relatives,” she tells Tony. “I wouldn’t be surprised,” he laughs from his workstation across the floor. The hot shave, a service offered at Guido’s, is experiencing a renaissance thanks to the TV show Mad Men. With wedding season upon us, Dastan is expecting more requests for the old-fashioned, straightedge shave too. Guido’s Barber Shop, open seven days a week, is located at 1725 Lonsdale Avenue.

Kick-start summer with zesty prawns

Seafood expert Kosta Zogaris shares his secret

Spice up your summer with this mouthwatering twist on prawn tails — courtesy of celebrated seafood expert Kosta Zogaris, who holds court at the award-winning Salmon Shop located on the main floor of Lonsdale Quay. Creamy Garlic Mexican Prawns INGREDIENTS: 1 lb. Colossal Mexican Prawn Tails (butterflied) 3/4 cup Mayonnaise 1 – 1 ½ tbsp. Minced garlic The zest of one lemon Sea salt and white pepper to taste Paprika for garnish

METHOD: In a bowl mix the mayonnaise, garlic and lemon zest. Using a sharp knife cut the prawn along the back length-wise. Cut right through to the inner side but do not cut the shell on the bottom. Remove the vein and leave the shell on. Then spread the prawn tail open to form a butterfly. Season the prawn meat with salt and white pepper. With the backside of a spoon spread the mayo mixture generously on the prawn meat.

Place the prawn shell down on a baking tray and bake at 400 F for 3-4 minutes depending on the prawn size. (On the BBQ, after the shells turn pink, only cook for a minute or two more) When done, lightly sprinkle with paprika and serve. www.kostathefishmonger.com

Tacos…

with a side of culture Enjoy fish tacos, a summer staple, with a side of culture in Lower Lonsdale’s community living room at the Café for Contemporary Art. Everyday Tacos chef Matt Formagin has crafted nine different varieties of tacos and burritos stuffed with savoury ingredients such as beef brisket, breaded bass and pulled pork. The vegetarian offerings are equally mouthwatering: tofu in a peanut tamarind sauce or roasted sweet potato drizzled with pumpkin mole sauce and sprinkled with goat feta cheese. The café also carries fresh baked, gluten-free muffins and cookies from one of their LoLo neighbours, Two Daughters Bake Shop. Currently showing in the gallery adjacent to the café is “Corporate Impatience Playland” — an examination of achievements and failures in the realm of time — created by Vancouver-based mixed media artist Bob Sherrin.

THE

GREAT SUMMER SHAPE UP

The Outlook has teamed up with the Foundation for Integrated Health to offer two lucky North Vancouver residents the opportunity to get slimmer and healthier by mid-summer. John O’Flynn and Leona Geall are participating in a six-week ZIP slimming/weight loss program which has proven to provide fast results. They will receive the non-invasive, body contouring Zerona laser treatments combined with a diet program called Ideal Protein. Stay tuned as the Outlook tracks their progress. Would you like to lose 10 inches or so over the next few weeks? The first 3 Outlook readers who call in this week for a complimentary consultation will receive a $300 discount toward a ZIP program. For more information please visit www.laserbodysculpting.net or call for your complimentary consultation.

A roll and a stroll Sushi Bella has quickly become a local favourite with its fresh menu of traditional and exotic fusion rolls created by owner/chef Kabel (Youngki Kim). Be sure to try the Drunken Tiger Roll (double prawn tempura, cucumber, mayo, ebi and chill mayo sauce). Afterwards, walk off your rolls with a stroll down to the pier at the foot of Lonsdale. Sushi Bella is located at 152 Lonsdale, sushibella.com.

Week 3 update: John O’Flynn and Leona Geall, our Great Summer Shape Up contestants, have made great strides with their Foundation for Integrated Health weight loss program — collectively losing 20 pounds in two weeks. John and Leona have each had six Zerona body slimming laser treatments — and continue to adhere to the Ideal Protein diet, which they say is palatable and convenient for their hectic summer schedules. “Having supplements that I can easily make in a shaker and that are microwavable is helpful,” says John, who traveled to Victoria this week. Adds Leona, “With work, because I don’t have a stove, I like the ready-to-go [Ideal Protein] foods.” On the Ideal Protein diet, John and Leona are allowed three protein supplements a day — at breakfast, lunch and snack time. In the morning, meal options can range from maple oatmeal to a fine herb and cheese omelet to a cappuccinoflavoured shake. “The odd time I look at Starbucks and wish I could have one of those iced coffee things, I come home and have my own cappuccino drink,” says Leona. Ideal Protein entrees are equally appetizing, with choices such as spaghetti Bolognese, tomato and basil soup and vegetable chili. But it’s the Ideal Protein desserts that, in moments of temptation, have saved John and Leona from falling off the weight-loss wagon. There must have been some divine intervention at play last week, when John, a Grade 7 teacher at Saint Pius X Elementary, was cutting the cake at a graduation ceremony. “And there was icing all over my hands,” he explains. “I had to go wipe it off.” He then pulled out his Ideal Protein vanilla pudding to satiate his craving. Meanwhile, Leona loves the chocolate soy snack, which she likens to chocolate-covered almonds. “They are so good — and you get so many of them,” she proclaims.

Leona Geall

Foundation for Integrated Health executive director Bill Ridley explains the concept behind the John O’Flynn Ideal Protein diet. “You are getting foods that are high in protein and low in carbs,” he says. “The Ideal Protein diet provides for just enough carbs to meet the energy needs of the body.” The medically sound diet was developed by Dr. Tran Tien, Chanh, an award-winning graduate of the faculty of medicine at the University of Paris. “He was approached by the French Olympic team that wanted their athletes to lose weight but not their muscle mass during training,” says Ridley. The Ideal Protein diet is safe for most people with medical concerns, including diabetics. A Foundation for Integrated Health client, a 75-year-old insulin-dependent diabetic, who also suffers from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, has lost 40 pounds this past year by using the Ideal Protein diet. His story serves as inspiration for John and Leona, as they continue on their weight loss journey, which includes regular physical activity. Leona has found walking on the West Vancouver Centennial Seawalk to be exercise in disguise. “It’s really quite relaxing, actually,” she says. And John has been doing his own seventh-inning stretch in the trails near Chris Zuehlke Memorial Park, while his son, who plays on a Mount Seymour Little League all-star team, competes for a berth in the provincials.

Chickadee, a new clothing and accessories store, sprouted last week on Lonsdale. The boutique may be new to North Van, but it’s already earned a cult status among women in Burnaby Heights, where Chickadee’s flagship store is located. “It’s the fashionista wardrobe, is how we describe it to people,” says Larissa, daughter of Chickadee owner Anna Santorelli. The mom-and-daughter duo like to mix it up when sourcing stock for their store: you will find affordable clothing lines interspersed on the racks among highend European threads. Their penchant for locally made jewelry is reflected in their display cases, which contain designs by North Vancouver sisters Sophie and Miriam Alden. This summer, check out Chickadee’s trendy dress collection featuring stripes and floral patterns married with a high-low hemline. Chickadee is located at 1667 Lonsdale Ave.

Tattoos no longer taboo

Lonsdale artists have inked priests, judges, cops and housewives

Millenium Ink owner Jay Doherty.

Teens will have to find another way to make their rebellious mark in society, judging by the spate of customers dropping by Millenium Ink at 2 p.m. on a Wednesday. It’s true: tattoos are no longer taboo. “I’ve tattooed everyone from priests to judges to police officers to housewives to doulas to criminals,” says Millenium Ink owner Jay Doherty, demystifying the bad rap that can overshadow the art. North Vancouver’s Tyler Mayzes has commissioned Millenium Ink artist Nik Hnidy for all of his tattoos. He rolls up his sleeve and there’s Mayzes’ family name, his brother’s birthday, a replica of his grandpa’s tattoo — all inked on his arm. “They are all family oriented,” says Mayzes of his intricate markings. Today he will memorialize a friend who committed suicide, with an angel warrior tattoo on his lower leg. A Roman statue served as inspiration for Hnidy’s detailed rendering, now being committed to his client’s leg. Meanwhile, Millenium piercing artist Pip Holcombe dispels another tattooing myth: “A lot of people assume because we do this we are not educated,” he says. Holcombe himself holds a Bachelor of Science degree, is a licensed paramedic and is currently training to become a firefighter. He’s also really into body modification — ear stretching, 604-984-9977 piercings and branding. Yes,

branding, using a 1,200-degree Celsius cautery pen, is a service provided at this tattoo parlour. So, does Holcombe wince when pressing the scalding heat down on someone’s flesh? “No,” he laughs, adding, “I’m a paramedic, I do this stuff for a living.” Holcombe, who also happens to be an ordained minister, will officiate a co-worker’s wedding later this summer. Millenium Ink is located at 1814 Lonsdale Ave., and online at milleniumink.com. Millenium Ink piercing artist Pip Holcombe carefully threads a curved barbell through Kat Rivet’s eyebrow.

Artists gather for Horseshoe Bay Art Walk MICHAELA GARSTIN S tA f f R E p o Rt E R

ine artists are displaying their best work for the third annual Horseshoe Bay Art Walk.

The painters, potters, photographers and multimedia artists are welcoming guests into their homes and studios on Sunday, July 7 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The route takes around two hours on foot or by a free shuttle bus that will run from the Gleneagles Community Centre every half hour. “We wanted to keep it small so people could walk the route,” says Helen Weiser, a potter who helped organize the event. Her whimsical tiles, plates and bowls featuring old world streetscapes are part of the walk. Other artists include painters Lil Chrzan, Ruth Leithal, Tannis Turner and Ronna Ander; potters Elizabeth Claridge, Jackie Frioud and Tam Irving; photographers Heather Fisher and Jon Johnson; and multimedia artists Helen Keys and Nicola Stilwell.

District Dialogue will help keep you up to date on news, meetings and issues that are important to our residents and businesses.

“We’ve made it into a whole community event,” says Weiser. “People can wander around the village, visit other businesses and have a bite to eat.” Maps are available at libraries and community centres, as well as at each location on the walk and online at horseshoebayartwalk.com. mgarstin@northshoreoutlook.com twitter.com/MichaelaGarstin

over the kibble!

continued from, PAGE 12

Today steel is a much more common building material, but Comber likes to keep this West Coast history alive through his artwork by salvaging indigenous material. He also enjoys exploring more contemporary themes. “Many people see nature now through devices,” he says of society’s constant attachment to cellphones. “They want to capture the moment, and I understand that, but to go on walks with iPhones?” Not wanting to miss a second, he’s seen people record long portions of their hikes up North Shore mountains. “They are pixelating nature, and they’re not seeing the real thing,” says the master carver, worry evident in his voice. He’s working on a piece that explores this theme. Sections of wood are suspended on top of one another with space in between, showing the way we’ve allowed technology to pixelate our view of nature. To Comber, the forest is experienced differently by each person so he expects everyone to get something different out of his artwork. “I know how the forest makes me feel, it’s very personal,” he says, looking down at a disk made of smaller pieces of wood. “I hope people can make their own connections with Pale Shadows and create their own stories from it.” For more about Brent Comber’s work, visit brentcomber.com.

Food Facts: Since grocery store kibble is made with fillers and poor quality ingredients, you may actually need more to feed and satisfy your pet. Choosing the cheaper brand will not really save you money ~ and your pet will not have the benefits of a high-quality, all natural product.

hree food carts have been parked in Ambleside as part of the District of West Vancouver’s latest attempt to revitalize the neighbourhood.

between 14th and 15th streets on weekends this summer from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. And, depending on demand and weather, they could be open weekdays too. After public consultations called for more dining options, zoning bylaws were amended this spring to allow food carts into Ambleside. The district hopes the move will improve “public enjoyment of the Ambleside waterfront.” Other dining options are also being considered for Ambleside, a neighbourhood that has been dubbed a “nofun zone,” “Shambleside” and even a “shantytown” as residents criticize the area as run down and lacking late-night dining options. Sidewalk dining has also proved popular among council members. A handful of restaurants have shown

interest in the idea, and the district staff is looking into whether these particular locations are suitable. “I would expect in the next few weeks there will be some more sidewalk dining in Ambleside,” said Bob Sokol, director of planning, land development and permits. A waterfront restaurant built on a municipal-owned lot on the 1400block of Argyle Avenue is also in the district’s plans, although whether it will ultimately go in is still up for debate. Despite mostly negative comments at a council meeting in late April, proposals are being sent out to restaurants and the district expects to hear back around the end of August. The goal is to have a “restaurant potentially opened… by the middle to end of next year, probably closer to the end of next year,” said Sokol.

Vancouver eyes teardown of viaducts into downtown JEFF NAGEL Black PrEss

he City of Vancouver is taking another step towards eventually demolishing the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts. Vancouver council is expected to approve a recommendation to begin up to two years of detailed study on the removal of the elevated roadways as well as planning for the city’s eastern core. “In every city’s evolution there are rare opportunities to take bold city-building steps to advance the city’s goals and livability or correct a past planning wrong,” a staff report says. The idea could complicate the drive in and out of downtown Vancouver for the 35,000 motorists who use the viaducts each day. The staff report says it must be demonstrated how a new post-viaduct street system will adequately connect downtown and provide enough vehicle capacity for goods movement. Tearing down the viaducts would cost up to

ven though everybody loves a parade, for a while there it looked as though the popular North Vancouver Canada Day Parade wasn’t going to march on. That was until Ernie Hubbard, a proud Canadian and member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 118, learned that the annual parade had been cancelled because the organizing committee had bowed out. Hubbard has watched the colourful parade march past his house on 17th Street for three decades and he wasn’t about to miss a year. So, he gathered the troops at the legion and they agreed they’d take over organizing the parade. And for the past few months, they’ve been busy planning. “The community showed they really cared,” Hubbard told The Outlook last Friday. “And [volunteers] came out of the woodwork. The response has just been fantastic.” From a float entry standpoint, the enthusiasm has been just as great, with 83 signed up, which should make for about a two and half hour parade. The parade begins at 10 a.m. on July 1st, starting at 13th Street and Grand Boulevard and proceeded west down 13th Street to Lonsdale, turning north on Lonsdale. (There is a viewing stand set up at 14th Street and Lonsdale). At 17th Street the parade again heads west where it will end at Mahon Park. Prior to the parade, from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., there will be a pancake breakfast served up

by the Lynn Valley Lions at 14th and Grand Boulevard. “It’s going to be spectacular,” says Hubbard, who predicts a beautiful, sunny day. After the parade, be sure to head down to Waterfront Park, where more family-friendly Canada Day celebrations are planned from noon to 4 p.m. -The Outlook

Have you started to notice your teeth becoming more crowded as you age? Crowding is usually most obvious on the lower front teeth. You may see teeth beginning to overlap where they once were well aligned. Most of us would agree that straight teeth are more aesthetically pleasing than crooked teeth, but we often overlook the health implications associated with teeth that are not well aligned. If your teeth are crowded, you may notice some teeth look significantly more worn down than others, a consequence of forces being distributed unevenly among the teeth. Worn teeth not only give us an aged appearance, they can also cause sensitivity and can be more Dr. Tamara Gallon (left) and Dr. Leslie Gallon prone to fracture. Additionally (as any hygienist can attest to) it is often a challenge to keep crowded teeth clean. They accumulate more plaque, tartar, and bacteria, which over time can accelerate periodontal disease. If you have noticed your teeth are crowding, it may be time to do something about it. Visit us at Vancouver Smile Studio to find out how straightening your teeth can improve the health and appearance of your smile.

WHITE HOT White is always the fashion anthem for summer. And this summer you will see it everywhere, used in a multitude of ways. The thing about white is that it looks good on any skin tone, it pairs well with just about anything, and it gives a cool and airy feel to your outfit on a hot summer day. Take your classic, white shirt, for example. It’s a sexy look on both men and women. For a twist, guys can try an embroidered version from Robert Graham. Some styles have a whimsical hit of colour inside the cuff and lining the collar. For women there is the two pocket shirt by Bella Dahl. It goes great with a pair or coloured or patterned pants (our fave is the geometric pattern in the Jbrand skinny). White also looks ultra summery & romantic in lace, and a very stylish way to try this look is with a peplum top. You can also try wearing head-to-toe white and add a splash of colour with accessories, or doing the white-black trend that we saw a lot of for spring. So start the summer off with a sizzle and put on those hot whites! And is it ok to wear white to a wedding? The etiquette books say yes, but Martha Stewart says no! You decide, but we think it’s better to play it safe and not outshine the bride.

IT’S WEDDING SEASON! THINKING OF HAIR AND MAKEUP IDEAS?

Your hair and makeup are the finishing touches on the complete bridal look and it is important that you and your stylist are on the same page. To ensure that you are the most beautiful bride there are a few things to remember... Find a stylist who specializes in updo’s and styling, this is your special day and you do NOT want a bad hair day! Sit down with the stylist a month or two in advance for a consultation. Discuss your theme, show them your dress, bring photos of styles you love and styles you do not love. A good stylist will help you determine a suitable style for your face shape, body type and dress. A casual beachy updo looks great for a daytime garden wedding but won’t exactly translate to an evening cocktail soiree. A trial session will help you to feel comfortable with the style and allows you time to communicate with your stylist. At Verve, consultations with our Creative Director are complimentary and our stylists are all well versed in styling for weddings. Our year round work on fashion shows and photo shoots keeps us on top of current styles and our team works seamlessly to make your day amazing!

The eight CUPE members and 13 non-members will be laid off effective June 30, though some workers’ contracts will carry through to August to ensure they retain employee benefits over the summer. The spokeswoman for CUPE Local 389 said the union is angry that those who received layoff notices are not being given the option of reapplying for their jobs under Listel Hotels. “We’re just really disappointed that our members that have lived and worked in that community for more than 20 years are not going to have a job there come September, and Listel is going to be putting in employees from their own group,” McQueen said. Miles responded that anyone facing layoffs can apply for other jobs within the school district, retire or explore severance options.

The dispute between CUPE Local 389 and the school district comes at a time of strained relations between union members and the employer. On June 22, the union’s North Van school district members voted 60 per cent in favour of striking over failed bargaining talks with the province. “We are at an impasse with our employer in bargaining on monetary issues as well as other issues because the government is not providing assistance to the local [school districts] to be able to address things like declining enrolment and our budget impacts,” McQueen said. tcoyne@northshoreoutlook.com twitter.com/toddcoyne

tackled Alaska’s Iditarod Trail and trekked from Hercules Inlet to the South Pole, among many other wild endurance-based expeditions in far-flung places. His latest adventure, he says, ranks at the top of his challenge-o-meter thus far. “There’s a lot of unknowns with everything,” says Vallely, 48. For instance when he and a team set a world record racing to the South Pole, others had preceded them and documented the experience. “I could read about it, figure it out. Anticipate things. Nobody has ever done this before.” Still, he’s optimistic they will conquer the iceriddled passage. “Hopefully 75 days later we will pop out.” Of course, there will be danger lurking at all times. “Ice and wind. Ice is nasty up there and it’s big and it’s mean and it moves around fast,” he says. “We’re in a very vulnerable boat so we have to be very careful as we poke along. It’s not just like crossing water, it’s water with a lot of obstacles in it.” In terms of safety preparation, they will be equipped with state-of-the-art navigation equipment, an emergency raft, survival suits and beacons. The boat itself is made with layers of Kevlar, fibreglass and foam “to accept a bit of a bang with the boat with the ice.” Each member of the crew has wilderness first-aid training and they’ve got an ICU doc on call for the duration of the trip who has outfitted them with a comprehensive medical kit. “We don’t want to be calling for help when we are out there, even if that means poking along slower than we may like; we’re going to do it safely. It’s a very remote location and we don’t want to risk anyone else trying to save us.” To prepare for the marathon voyage, Vallely has been a fixture on the rowing machine at Karen Magnussen rec centre for months. During the trip, the plan is to have two teams of rowers rotating every four hours. “Four hours is required for a true rest,” he explains. Not that there will be much of that. When not rowing, the members will be writing blogs and journal entries as well as photographing and filming their experience. They will also be collecting data for Department of Fisheries and Oceans. And while their rowing trip will most certainly be a grind at times, the crew should remain in fine spirits. “We do have six bottles of single malt as well, its not all misery at sea,” says Vallely.

s the weather warms up many seniors are packing their bags for a holiday, and air travel is often a part of those plans. At one time flying was thought to be glamorous; today it can mean long, uncomfortable seating and ensuing days of jet lag. Seniors have a few extra things to keep in mind when they take off for a far away destination. Keep the blood flowing

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious medical condition that can develop with long bouts of sitting. Because of limited leg movement over many hours, blood flow can become sluggish and clots can develop. Wearing comfortable clothing and avoiding socks that bind will help keep circulation moving., Many travellers, not only seniors, wear compression stockings that apply gentle pressure to the legs and prevent blood from pooling – these stockings are available over the counter in drug stores. They are sold in different pressures so check with your physician about how much pressure would be best for you. Pressure stockings aren’t the only way to maintain good circulation. Take a walk up and down the aisle every hour or so. Rotating, flexing and extending the ankles every now and then while seated can also prevent blood clots from forming. A pre-flight aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is another way to reduce the risk of a DVT. Again, ask your physician if this is an appropriate measure – you may be taking medication or have a health condition that is not compatible with aspirin.

Canada website travel.gc.ca advises travellers to carry medications in the containers they were dispensed in, since information on the label can be helpful when you’re clearing security. The site also recommends taking along a copy of the prescriptions for all your medications and for your glasses in case you need to replace them while you are away. Talk to your airline

Of course medications should travel with you in your carry-on luggage. You may also need to carry on special medical equipment such as a glucose monitor, syringes or portable oxygen. A complete list of items allowed on board is available on the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority website, www.catsa.gc.ca. Always contact the airline in advance so they accommodate whatever it is that you need to bring. You can also request assistance to board the plane or transportation to your connecting flight.

Purchase travel health insurance

Chances are you won’t experience major mishaps while you’re away. If you do need medical attention, having appropriate travel health insurance could save you thousands of dollars. When purchasing the insurance, it’s especially important to answer the medical questionnaire accurately. In several recent cases seniors where left with massive medical bills after failing to disclose seemingly insignificant health information. You might want to ask your physician to review this form to confirm that you’ve included everything. Reduce jet lag

Stow prescription meds in your carry-on

dazed, exhausted and generally unwell – and adapting to local hours can become more difficult as we age. A few tricks can make the adjustment a little easier. Start the time change several days before you go. This is called “advancing your body clock.” For example, if you’re travelling east, get up and go to bed an hour or two earlier each day. Sleep on the plane if you can. Some travellers take a mild sleeping pill, but check with your physician to make sure this is a safe option for you. During the flight, steer clear of heavy meals as well as alcohol and caffeine. Once you’ve cleared customs and security pick up some fruit and water at the airport. It may be the most expensive snack food you’ll buy, but staying well-hydrated and eating healthy foods will stave off the heavy, dull feeling that can accompany jet lag. As part of your advance trip planning, book tickets to a play or and an early morning tour at your destination. That will force you to get in the local time groove. Once you arrive, short naps can help you recharge but limit them to about half an hour. Cultivate comfort

Over time, seasoned travellers pick up survival strategies that ensure they touch down in great condition and ready to see the sights.

One strategy is to break up long-distance flights. Waiting for connecting flights can not only add hours to your journey, but can also contribute to fatigue. Rather than camping out at the airport, book a room at a nearby hotel and take your connecting flight the following day. Of course, this will add cost to your trip, but it may pay off if you feel well rested when you arrive. If possible, use frequent flyer or credit card points for an upgrade to business or first class. Not only does this ensure a roomier, more comfortable spot on the plane, but it comes with access to airport lounges where you can wait for your flight in relative comfort. In addition to reading material and various electrical devices to keep in-flight boredom at bay, pack a few items that will help you settle in and get comfortable: a small inflatable pillow to help support your back, a light shawl that can double as a blanket, pre-moistened towelettes to freshen up, eye drops and lip balm to help reduce the drying effects of cabin air. Whether the journey is smooth or bumpy, air travel is the quickest way we have of getting to far off destinations. No matter how old we are, with just a little thought and preparation we can make our flight travel more comfortable so we’re ready to go as soon as our feet touch the ground. —Josie Padro is a writer/researcher with North Shore Community Resources Society

By making eye contact, speaking clearly and taking signals from one another, their communication skills are much more advanced than many other students entering high school this Michaela Garstin photo September. They received certificates for Level 5 of Trinity Guildhall’s communication skills program. Gleneagles teacher and librarian Daniela Gielnik, along with Laura McLachlan and Suzanne Fulton, brought the international program to Gleneagles at the beginning of the school year. While every student in elementary school learns reading, writing and math, these teachers think communication skills are just as important. “There are certain ways of talking that are less appropriate to use in other circumstances,” explains Gielnik, who said she benefited tremendously from the program back when she was in school. “It’s good to use a different vocabulary for certain audiences that’s different than the ones used with friends.” Most of the students completed Levels 3 and 4, but Max Waterson, Anna Gouthro, Maddy Robertson and Aydin Rezazadeh finished Level 5, which counts towards English credits for high school. The program was built into the language arts curriculum and covers the oral speaking component. “The skills learned through Trinity are transferable,” said princi2013 “It’s easier to pal Scott Corolla S model with moonroof shown converse with adults” Wallace. “They are Anna Gouthro better able Gleneagles student to transOWN IT FROM* LEASE IT FROM** GET UP TO*** late what they learn because of OR OR their communication skills.” The students had their first chance to prove bi-weekly / 84 mos. at 0.8% per mo. / 60 mos. at 0% CASHBACK this during the school’s GE Studio, an event last month that showcased their inquirybased work. 2013 “I had so many good comments from parOWN IT FROM LEASE IT FROM ents,” said Wallace. “They said ‘Wow, these LE model shown $ $ OR kids are so passionate about what they’re learning’.” bi-weekly / 72 mos. at 4.3% per mo. / 60 mos. at 4.5% “Being able to public speak gives you power,” said Aydin, speaking much more confidently than many other kids his age.

cOFFee Walks

NOrth shOre Coffee and walking go handin-hand. The website coffeewalk.ca maps out routes on the North Shore that include a coffee shop destination. The Maplewood Flats Conservation route, for example, is a five-kilometre trek in the Dollarton neighbourhood that includes a stop at Belmondo Cafe. It’s a relatively easy dirt and gravel trail that takes around an hour and a half to complete. The walk starts at Belmondo Cafe (2075 Old Dollarton Road) and quickly takes a turn into the forest, including site seeing at Osprey Lake and Otter Point. A few viewpoints have benches to birdwatch and maybe spot a sea otter, bear or other wildlife. Fishman’s Trail, another recommended route, is in the Blueridge neighbourhood and includes coffee at the Pantry restaurant in the Holiday Inn. This walk also takes around an hour and a half, but the trail has other options that can make the trek much longer, including a hike to Seymour Lake that takes four to five hours to complete. The route starts at the entrance of the Seymour Watershed, which was once used as domestic water supply and opened to the public in 1986. Check coffeewalk.ca for detailed information and maps for all 15 North Shore trails with coffee stops.

VICTORIA – More people continue to move from B.C. to other provinces than migrate west, according to the latest Statistics Canada estimates. Quarterly Statistics Canada figures show a net loss of 1,611 people from B.C. to other provinces from January to March this year. That is the seventh straight quarter of net out-migration from B.C., with the last net increase of 73 people recorded in the April-June quarter of 2011. In 2012, while B.C. was a net loser of about 7,000 in interprovincial movements, Alberta gained about 43,000 and Saskatchewan gained about 2,500 people. NDP leader Adrian Dix said Wednesday the latest totals mean B.C. has lost a net 12,000 people to other provinces since Premier Christy Clark took over. Dix said the number of private sector jobs has declined since Clark launched her jobs plan, and her government continues to cut the budget for job skill training. Dix said the NDP government of the 1990s saw an increase of 129,000 people in interprovincial migration, and during Gordon Campbell’s term, there was a net increase of 64,000. Clark shrugged off the numbers, saying B.C.’s overall population continues to grow. “More people are coming here than are leaving, and we need to continue to work to make sure that more people are staying,” Clark said. “We’re competing hard with Alberta and the oil sands to keep people here.” B.C.’s rising total population is a result of international immigration, offset by the losses to other provinces by people moving within Canada. Ontario has also steadily lost people inter-provincially in recent years, including a national high of 6,823 in the first three months of this year. twitter.com/nsoutlook

Remembering the founder of Colony Appliances James Patterson, who started his iconic North Van appliance and mattress store in 1969, passed away in May leaving behind an enduring legacy

here’s been a steady stream of longtime customers dropping by Colony Major Appliances and Mattress Warehouse to pass along their condolences about the recent passing of its founder, James Patterson. Patterson, who died on May 18 at age 80 after a bout with cancer, built up a large and loyal group of customers, many who became friends, on the North Shore through the years. “He was old-school, a perfectionist, a stickler for detail — he couldn’t do anything less,” says son Kevin, who is the general manager at Colony. “People liked and respected him. He was a modest person. He came to work every day, he cared about the business, he cared about the customers of the North Shore.” And if you purchased a product from James or any employee at Colony, you’d leave the store knowing everything about it. Patterson insisted that his staff know every minute detail about the products they were selling. At the product demo sessions put on by the manufacturers Patterson had a rep for asking tough question. “Jim, I’ll have to get back to you on that,” they’d often have to say, recalls Kevin with a chuckle.

Kevin’s first job at colony came early, when he was maybe 10, washing windows and hosing down the street when the store was at 19th and Lonsdale before they moved to the current location at 1075 Roosevelt Crescent Later in life, Kevin would rejoin the store and become GM, spending a lot of time with his dad. “I’m thankful for that. We spent a lot of time together.” He learned valuable lessons from his dad on product knowledge, work ethic, surrounding yourself with good people, and always listening to the customer. “In his generation, they listened really well,” says Kevin. When his father wasn’t working, he spent plenty of family time at their cabin retreat at Gun Lake, north of Pemberton, dubbed “Dunworkun.” Even when Patterson retired from his successful business, he dropped by regularly to see if the coffee was on, find out how business was and to see any of the new products on the floor. Patterson went into business for himself in 1969 with $5,000 and steadily built a company that now has 17 employees and over 50 brands to choose from. “We miss him,” says Kevin. And they plan to carry on the family tradition for future generations. “We’ve spent our lives in this business and we’re committed to it,” says Kevin, who works alongside his father’s wife DesNeiges Cosgrove, who is the store manager. “I appreciate the people who take the time out of their busy day to say thank you,” says Kevin. -Justin Beddall

Metro takes hard look at management pay levels Regional district’s new CAO leading review, restructuring JEFF NAGEL BlACk PREss

etro Vancouver is conducting an extensive review of salaries for all management staff to determine if their pay levels are appropriate. It comes as the regional district released annual financial disclosures showing it paid out $142 million in pay and benefits to employees last year. Metro paid 369 employees more than $100,000 last year and some Metro directors have questioned whether pay levels are too high. Chief administrative officer Carol Mason, who is leading the pay review as well as an ongoing restructuring at Metro, said the regional government is overdue for such an exercise. It last did one in 2008 but has a policy of reassessing pay levels every three years. “My early impression is I wouldn’t say we are overstaffed, but that’s part of the process we are going through,” Mason said. Salaries and duties for Metro’s non-union staff are being compared against similar positions in local cities over the next several months. Mason has ordered a freeze on new hiring until the review is complete. Metro board chair Greg Moore said the aim is to “ensure we’re not too high or too low in the pay bands we have compared to other equivalent-type employment.” A finding that pay levels are too high and need to be decreased would be “very difficult” to apply to current staff who would likely be grandfathered, he said. In the past BC Hydro has poached many Metro engineers, putting upward pressure on those salaries

to stay competitive. Local cities are also routinely raiding staff from each other or from Metro. North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton said his city lost five newly hired planning department staff to offers of higher pay from cities south of the Fraser almost immediately after they were trained. “We were actually paying the training costs and other communities were immediately benefitting from the result,” Walton said, adding the loss slowed building permit approval times in North Van District. Consulting firms and other cities, including ones in Alberta, are the main expected competitors who will be headhunting more Metro Richard staffers in the years ahead. The financial disclosures show last year’s highest payout of $523,000 went to retired policy and planning manager Toivo Allas, but included an unusual payout of banked holiday time accrued over four decades. Mason, who took over as CAO last fall after longtime CAO Johnny Carline retired, earns $270,000 a year. Deputy CAO Delia Laglagaron’s remuneration of $311,000 last year was unusually high because she was performing extra duties as acting CAO for most of the year. The highest paid managers at Metro are water services general manager Tim Jervis at $218,000; external relations director Heather Schoemaker at $208,000; corporate services general manager Ralph Hildebrand at $196,000; liquid waste services general manager Simon Ho at $185,000; and acting chief financial officer Phil Trotzuk at $173,000. There’s been a major turnover in management in the past year.

Besides Carline, former chief financial officer Jim Rusnak and planning, parks and environment manager Gaetan Royer both left as part of administrative restructuring. According to disclosures, severance payouts were made to five management employees in 2012 for between one and 15 months’ pay. Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation B.C. director Jordan Bateman said he’s “cautiously optimistic” about the review, but added pay reviews at government agencies sometimes come back recommending “raises for everyone.” He said Metro’s pay grid looks too high, noting CAO Mason makes more than provincial government deputy ministers, who earn around $230,000. Walton Bateman said no politician is directly accountable to voters for how the regional district spends taxpayer dollars. Mayors and councillors serve as Metro directors but tend to be mainly focused on their own cities. He said Metro has “grown out of control” over the years, adding social housing and culture offerings that go well beyond the regional district’s core mandate of dealing with drinking water, sewage, garbage and perhaps regional parks. Bateman said complaints of inter-city poaching of key staff among Metro’s 21 member municipalities suggests amalgamating some of them would be more efficient. “You wonder if you’d have as much problems if you had six or eight larger municipalities instead of a whole bunch of smaller ones competing with each other and driving up prices.”
